I woke up and looked next to me. I saw Jonah laying there. I smiled realizing we fell asleep in the back of the truck. I didn't want this moment to end. I just cuddled closer to him and I felt his arm tighten around me. "Faker" I laughed. "Shhhh I'm sleeping" Jonah tried to hide his smile. I grabbed a piece of a plastic bag and moved it back and forth under Jonah's nose.

He started wiggling his nose then slapped himself. I burst out laughing. "Oh you've got jokes huh?" Jonah chuckled sitting up. "I don't know what you're talking about" I crossed my arms. Jonah began tickling me. I tried to contain my laughter but I couldn't.

Jack

I woke up to this cute laughter. I don't know why but it immediately made me smile. I looked next to me and saw Rebecca laying there instead of Lexi. That made my smile disappear. But I realized the laughter wasn't coming from Rebecca. I slowly got up and walked towards the window without waking Rebecca. I looked outside and saw that it was Lexi laughing and smiling.

I smiled, then I saw it was because Jonah was tickling her. Why couldn't I make her that happy? What's wrong with me. Why am I laying here with Rebecca instead of Lexi? Why am I not buying her gifts and taking her out? Why am I not cuddling her and singing to her? Why am I not recording cute/stupid little goofy videos with her? Why am I not the one making her smile? All the things I'm not doing are the things Jonah IS doing.

I'm doing all these things for Rebecca right behind Lexi's back and she doesn't even know it. What kind of boyfriend am I? Obviously not a good one. You're better then this Jack. I saw Lexi look up to her window after Jonah stopped. Her smile faded for a second. Then it came back and she waved at me. I smiled and waved back. I sighed as I shut the blinds. I walked out of her room and into the bathroom. I sat in the dry tub and thought for a second.

Lexi

I smiled at Jack seeing him in my window. I waved, he waved back then walked away from my window. I thought I saw someone laying in my bed but I could just be seeing things because I'm dizzy from lack of oxygen because JONAH wouldn't stop tickling me. I sat up and looked at Jonah. "So what are you doing today?" I asked. "I don't know, probably gonna hangout with the guys, we'll see" Jonah shrugged.

Suddenly a sad thought popped into my head. "So uh, when does tour start" I asked looking down. Jonah didn't reply for a second. "Um, we go on tour next week" he looked away. My breath got caught in my throat. Next week? That's so soon. Well I'm happy for the guys and their success. "Are you excited?" I hid my sadness with happiness. "Very excited" Jonah turned to me and smiled.

"Where's your first show?" I asked. "It's in Maine" Jonah smiled. "Have fun" I smiled. "How long is tour?" I asked immediately regretting the question as it left my mouth. "Well we're having four tours, so this one is only 4 months long, but then the next one is 5 and the next one is another 5 and the last one is another 5" Jonah nodded. "So you'll be gone for a year and 7 months?" I asked. Jonah nodded. "Well I'm glad you guys are so successful" I smiled. Jonah hugged me.

Neither of us tried to pull away. We sat like this for 5 minutes. I didn't want to let go but I knew I had to. I pulled away. "We should head inside" I didn't look at him. "Yeah. I just gotta clean up this stuff" Jonah smiled. I turned to him and smiled. "Need any help?" I asked. "Nah it's fine, I'll meet you back inside" Jonah nodded. I nodded and jumped out of the truck. I headed inside, I turned back to Jonah as I saw his head in his hands.

I just smiled sympathetically. I knew something is up with him but I'd rather wait until he's ready to tell me, and if he never tells me THEN I'll bug him about it. I shut the door. I stood with my back against it for a second. I turned and walked upstairs to my room. I opened the door and walked towards my dresser. I grabbed out some pajamas and my underwear and bra, I grabbed my towels for my hair and body and walked into the bathroom.

Jack was sitting in the bathtub. "Hey you okay?" I asked. "Huh? Oh sorry yeah I'm okay" Jack smiled. "Why are you sitting in the bathtub?" I laughed a little. "Just needed to think for a second. I'll get out of your hair now" Jack sighed standing up and heading for the door. I grabbed his wrist to stop him from walking. He turned to me "Are you sure you're okay?" I asked. Jack paused for a second. I saw the tears building up in his eyes. "Oh Jack" I sighed pulling him into a hug. He cried on my shoulders.

After 8 minutes, we finally pulled away. Jack looked at me. "I'm sorry" he shook his head while tears were still rolling down his cheeks. "Jack I already forgave you" I shook my head confused. "But that doesn't change the fact that I hurt you" he cried. Then he left the bathroom. I shut and locked the door behind him and stood there hella confused. I sighed and started to strip out of my clothes and turn on the shower. I stepped in and started thinking. I've spent 6 years without Jonah and I hadn't met Jack for a year and a half so I should be fine without them for a year and 7 months right?
