here's what you actually want😂 you should know that wattpad didn't want me to publish the last part because it would take less than a minute to read😂😂

Now I just needed to wait until Rye was ready to talk.

Brook's POV
We were in the van on the way to the first tour date. It was silent, everyone lost in their own thoughts.

Personally, I was thinking about me and Jack. Things had been feeling off with us, in a way I couldn't find words to explain. I still loved him, but almost in a different way. It wasn't that I didn't want to date him anymore. That was far from the truth.

I hadn't really felt like that at all today, though. Granted, we'd been hanging out with Sonny all day, but still. Maybe that was why, though. Maybe Sonny had something to do with it all.

Actually, when Sonny started trailing was when things had started to get weird with me and Jack. And whenever me and Jack hung out with Sonny was when it seemed the most normal. It always felt, I don't know, natural, I guess.

An idea popped into my head then. I had no idea if it would work. Probably not, to be fair. Jack would have to agree with it, and Sonny would also have to like both me and Jack, as well as agree to the whole thing.

I decided to text Jack, so that the other boys wouldn't hear.

B: I have to talk to you about something later

He looked up from his phone, gave me a look, then went back to typing.

J: sure, I was actually just about to text you the same thing

B: huh. weird😂 love you, baby❤

J: love you, too, Brooky

This might put our relationship up in flames, but it was worth a shot.

Jack's POV
I had been thinking about me and Brook's relationship all day. Specifically, how we had both been feeling like something was missing, and how, whenever we were around Sonny, at least for me, those feelings went away.

I had no idea how it would work. I'd never done anything like it before. It would maybe be weird at first, but I think we could get used to it pretty easily. That is, if Brook and Sonny both agreed to it. That seemed sort of unlikely, but worth a shot.

I got my phone out to text Brook, so that the other boys wouldn't try to eavesdrop. Before I could text him, though, a message came through from him.

B: I have to talk to you about something later

I gave him a look from across the van, then went to type something back.

J: sure, I was actually just about to text you the same thing

B: huh. weird😂 love you, baby❤

J: love you, too, Brooky

Maybe Brook would be more open to the idea than I thought. I mean, it couldn't have only been me who felt better about our relationship when Sonny was around. As for Sonny, I still wasn't sure how he would feel about the situation. I mean, he'd only known us a month. What was the likelihood of him wanting to be in a relationship with not only one, but two of us?

Sonny's POV
My feelings for Jack had definitely not gone away. If anything, they'd grown more. I tried to push them down, though, because I didn't want the roadies to be right. I couldn't be the one to break Jacklyn up.

Honestly, I kind of started to feel myself fall for Brook a little bit, too. Maybe it was seeing all the edits roadies had made, but I felt myself wanting Bronny to be real.

Whenever the three of us were hanging out, especially this morning's cuddle session, it always just felt right with the two of them. It was easy. Natural. Like it was meant to be.

That was weird, though, right? Liking, and wanting to date, your two best friends that are already in a relationship.

That was impossible, anyways. No matter how much I wanted it. They were both completely happy in their relationship. They didn't need, or want me. Not that they should. They had been fine before they'd even met me, and they were fine now. I just needed to get over myself.

Rye's POV
I knew I loved Andy. Last night, Jack and Brook made it seem like he loved me, too. I still wasn't totally convinced, but it did give me a little hope.

This morning talking to Jack did put my mind at ease a little. He was right. Andy did love him as a friend. Jack and Brook were dating, and happy. Me and Andy were dating, and, at least mostly happy.

Even if he didn't love me, that was okay. I needed to be fine with that. If he wasn't ready for that strong of a relationship yet, then that was okay. I needed to be fine with that. Honestly, I was fine with that. As long as I had Andy, I would be okay.

I knew I loved him, for sure, and that meant that the only thing that was truly important was having him. Holding him as we fell asleep. Waking up holding him in my arms. Being able to lace our fingers together whenever I felt like it. Acting mental with him, and both of us loving it because that's just who we were. Him laying his head on my chest, or in the crook of my neck where it fit perfectly. Running my hands through his beautiful, perfect hair. Or him running his through my, less beautiful, not quite so perfect hair. How he looked in my hoodies, that always fell around mid-thigh on him. Us talking, having the most random, unimportant conversations while I cooked him food that he always seemed to enjoy, even when I'd majorly fucked it up.

I didn't want to lose any of those things. Truly, the small things are some of the most important and memorable things. I loved Andy, and even if he didn't love me back, I needed him to know.
