once again, i was set in the backstage dressing room of jack and jack. they were out front, performing their hearts out alongside their other two best friends, sam and nate.

the door that i was behind was knocked upon, suddenly opening to reveal a security guard, "come with me, ms thomas."

i stand up with my eyebrows furrowed. i dusted my jeans off, standing up and walking towards the security guard. today, jack told me to dress nice since we were going out with the other three boys afterwards. though, right now i was questioning that.

jack's voice rang through the speakers, sounding through the entire area.

"there's this girl in my life, im sure you all are aware of. her name's vanessa, for those of you wondering. i've struggled to find somebody who has made me feel complete in every aspect of my life. and you know, when your friends approve of someone, then you know they're a keeper. she makes me insanely happy. i truly believe it, she's the one. i'd like you all to meet her, though she may be shy."

my cheeks, i could tell, flushed with colour as i began to get anxious and extremely nervous. he turned around to me, johnson running over and pulling me out onto the stage where the audience looked like nothing, just blackness. i couldn't see hardly anyone as the white lights shun down on us brightly.

"vans, you make me so happy" jack says, earning an eruption of screams from their fans, "after all this time, us testing out long distance and building a connection, im so sure of you. one hundred percent sure. i would like one more answer from you. will you be my girlfriend?"

after his words, the three boys on stage began jumping up and down with happiness. they were screaming, while also filming this entire thing.

the fans, too, were screaming. also chanting, "janessa! janessa!"

i look at him with a smile, tears brimming my eyes after what he had just done. not being able to utter words, i nod my head. he smiles down at me, picking me up effortlessly.

johnson suddenly yells and speaks into the microphone, "janessa is real guys! it's official!"

jack and i laugh, but soon jack lays his lips on mine in a sweet kiss. the audience, once again, erupts with cheers. though, only to lead to me pulling away and exiting off stage, letting the boys return to their performance.

we were now back at the hotel, johnson out somewhere with nate and sam. somewhere that jack and i didn't care enough to ask about. the both of us were laying down on jack's assigned hotel bed.

"did i surprise you?" he suddenly blurted, looking over at me and placing his phone down.

i nod, placing mine down as well and flipping onto my stomach to be more comfortable talking to him, "very. i mean, once the security guy came and your guys' music stopped, i could tell something was off. i didn't think that's what you were doing though."

he smiles, placing his hand on the side of my waist that was furthest from him, pulling me closer to him and placing a soft, quick kiss on my lips, "we're dating now. can you believe it?"

i shake my head, "i can't believe it. can you?"

"not really" he states, "i knew i was going to ask you for awhile, ever since our date, but i was trying to find the best way to do it. surprisingly, nate and sammy gave me this idea."

"it was a pretty good idea" i smile, pecking his lips once again.

my phone began to buzz like crazy, causing me to turn it over. jack had tagged me in something, leaving all of his fans to find my accounts.

i look up at jack and he smirks, "look at what i posted."

opening the post, it consisted of two things - one video and one picture. the video was a quick clip of him asking me to be his girlfriend, while the picture was of just moments ago when i had my head down beside him.

his caption was:

@jackgilinsky: today i asked her to be my girlfriend and it feels euphoric and amazing. what will the feeling be like when i ask her to be my wife? thank you for saying yes, @vanessathomas.

my face had a goofy smile on my face as i look up at him, "you're crazy."

"crazy for you" he says, smiling down at me.

i then scrolled down, reading the comments of the fans. essentially, all of them were the same just worded differently.

@ilovejackggilinskyy janessa is official!
@iamajackandjackkfan love, love, love this couple. good job gilinsky!
@janessafanpagee janessa! janessa! janessa!
@unknownuser55 she's so gorgeous, don't mess it up jack!
@ilovejackanddjack MARRIAGE!? YES PLEASE, WHERE ARE THE BABIES!?

thankfully, i came across little to no hate comments. i mean, if there were some that were snide and rude, i have to realize that it will for sure happen. though, i can't let it get to me whatsoever.

"they seem to really love you" jack states, looking down at me happily.

"i think they just love you and are accepting me" i inform him with a smile.

"whatever it is, im just happy" he states, smiling and placing his arm over my back as he attempts to lay down and possibly sleep.
