chapter fifty three: "come visit"

vanessa thomas

jack and jack were still on tour, my emotions getting the best of me on my flight from omaha to los angeles. the flight back, realizing that im going back home without jack being there, i was honestly pretty upset.

remembering back to february, all of the shit that went on regarding rumours. always of jack, hardly of johnson. it always got to me. i had such anger and hurt within me. certain days i'd come home, slam the door, and cry or scream. now, it's two months later and im still upset. their tour has ran now for five months, meaning that i last saw jack was four months ago for their holiday break.

four months has caused me to develop various feelings, some worse than others. what im saying is, wow i miss my boyfriend. from right now in april, they have four months of tour left. additionally, i don't see jack in those four months until he is back. meaning, we have a drought of eight months total.

plopping down on my bed, i sigh. a tear escapes my eyes when i look over at jack's empty side of the bed. all i can imagine is him engulfing me in a hug right now and keeping me insanely warm and safe.

in my back pocket, my phone began to buzz. immediately, my face lit up thinking it was jack. though, i was still pleasantly surprised when i saw johnson's name flash across the screen.

"hello?"

"hey ness! are you free to talk?" johnson's happy voice rings through my ears.

i sit up and cross my legs, "hey johnson! yeah, is everything okay? you're not usually one to call me."

he hums, "i know, sorry that i don't call you. this part of our conversation has to be quick because gilinsky can't hear. he's out getting some food for us right now."

"okay, what's going on? is he okay?" i ask, quite a bit worried.

"for some reason, im usually one who's conducting this. but, i wanted to know if you would be able to come and visit? gilinsky and i had an insanely deep conversation a bit ago. ever since, he's been quite down and misses you a lot more" johnson says, causing me to chuckle.

"you are always conducting this" i agree, "when would you want me to come? what show will you guys be at?"

he laughs, "lucky for you, i have those details for you. if you could, you would leave tomorrow night. the flight would leave at eleven pm it said. you would be arriving in san diego at about midnight, if all goes well. the flight is less than hour, so it says. maybe you could stay for about ten days?"

i chuckle at his organization, "wow, you did your research. lucky for you, i just got home from omaha so i already have a packed suitcase."

"perfect! i'll pick you up from the airport tomorrow at midnight. i'll probably ask someone to drive me or take a cab, i'll let you know. jack's going to be so happy, ness" johnson says. when he does, i can tell he is genuine.

"i hope so. he's going to be appreciative of you doing this, though" i inform him, to which he scoffs.

"the second he sees you, he won't be thinking about me" he chuckles. he suddenly stops, a slamming noise evident to my ears, "hey g."

i then hear jack, "hey. who're you talking to?"

"ness. she called, she said her calls weren't going through to your phone. she kept getting sent to voicemail so she was worried" johnson likes.

only seconds later, jack's voice rings through my ears, "hey baby."

i immediately smile, "hey, where were you? sorry i got so worried."

he chuckles, "no problem, babygirl. i went out to get food for johnson and i, so maybe i lost service or something."

"oh, well it's okay. just glad you're safe. how's your day been?" i ask him.

he hums, "pretty good i guess. i miss you though."

not for long you won't.

"only four more months, right?" i try to say happily, but fail, "it's been so long, jack."

my emotions fall, knowing how long it's been since i've seen him.

he sighs, "i know, baby. you know what i really wish?"

my eyebrows pull together at his odd question, "what's that?"

"that you'd come visit. but like, not just come visit" he answers, his answer quite blunt and weird.

"that hardly made sense, jack. re-word or explain" i say with a little chuckle.

he laughs, "i wish you'd come visit, but also be here to watch johnson and i perform. you haven't seen us in awhile."

i smile to myself at the thought of him performing, "i know. maybe i'll come for your last show. i have to start preparing for college soon since i start in august."

"i know, at least i won't be there with you when you start, that was you can focus. i better give johnson back his phone. can i call you later?" he asks, a tinge of sadness laced in his tone.

"of course. say bye to johnson for me, please" i respond, "i love you."

"i love you, baby. talk to you later" he says before ending the phone call.

i sigh, realizing i have to unpack and repack. im heading off to see my baby.
