Life

Chapter 5

Jaclyn's POV:

I've lived with Jack now for a month. I've had 3 shows and I'm almost done with freshman year. After rehearsals I figured I'd run by the station and see Jack and all of them.

I just finished rehearsal, meeting the new artists I'm with for the week, met with a couple song writers, and had an interview for a local newspaper. (Above is what she wore)

When I was done I swung by the station. I walked inside and Travis was up front. I leaned against the counter and looked at him. I smiled and said

Jaclyn: Jack here?
Travis: upstairs. Probably kitchen or work out room.
Jaclyn: you're the best.
Travis: I know.

I gave him a high five and went upstairs. I turned the corner and ran into Sullivan.

Jaclyn: I'm so sorry.
Sullivan: it's okay. Looking for Jack?
Jaclyn: yeah. Trav said he was up here.
Sullivan: work out room.
Jaclyn: thanks

I walked around another corner and saw him watching the news. I knocked on the door and smiled. He turned around and smiled.

Jack: what are you doing here?
Jaclyn: thought I'd come and see you while I had a break.
Jack: well I appreciate it. Wanna eat something?
Jaclyn: I'm good. I have a lunch meeting in a hour and a half.
Jack: okay. How'd this morning go?

We walked out to the kitchen and kept talking.

Jaclyn: good. I met with some of the artists I'm with for the week. They all seemed pretty cool. I met with a couple song writers and we collabed on some songs. I bounced ideas and songs off of them. Then I had an interview with the Seattle newspaper.
Jack: dang. You've had a busy morning.
Jaclyn: yeah. I met with an artist named Jana. She's coming to Seattle and she's gonna have like 3 weeks worth of shows around here and wants me to open for her. Like main opener.
Jack: no way!
Jaclyn: yes!

Jack smiled and wrapped me in a hug.

Jack: I'm proud of you.
Jaclyn: thank you.

He kissed my head and let go. I heard some people talking and saw an old guy come walking up the stairs.

Jacks POV:

I saw Pruitt come up the stairs so I shoved jaclyn into the work out room and shut the blinds.

Jaclyn: what are you doing? I need to leave.
Jack: one second.

I looked out the window and saw him staring at me. Damn it. He saw me. I opened the door and took Jaclyn downstairs without saying anything to him.

Jack: text me when you get done.
Jaclyn: I will.
Jack: be safe.
Jaclyn: always.
Jack: see you at home.
Jaclyn: see ya.

She yelled bye to Trav and walked out. I turned around and saw Pruitt at the top of the stairs.

Pruitt: who's that?
Jack: no one.
Pruitt: boy don't lie to me.
Jack: not lying. Gotta go do tank. Bye.

I hurried off to tank with Trav.

Jack: Pruitt saw Jaclyn.
Trav: what!?
Jack: yeah. He doesn't know she exists and Andy doesn't eve know
Andy: what do I not know?
Jack: nothing.

She looked at me. I figured why not tell her.

Jack: I have custody of Jaclyn.
Andy: what?
Jack: yeah. I have my parental rights back and full custody.
Andy: oh my god.
Jack: and your dads here. He saw her.
Andy: what?
Jack: yeah. I didn't say who she was but I know he's gonna start asking.
Andy: I need to do damage control.
Jack: no. Don't do anything. I'll have Jaclyn come back by after her meeting.
Andy: okay. My god I can't believe this is happening.
