JACKS POV
"One medium pepperoni." I tell the waitress when she comes around to take our order. Thank god for late night pizza places. Izzy hasn't said much since we left the stream. Even when Beyoncé came on the radio, she just sat there. Thinking.
"Jack." She mumbles dragging me out of my train of thought.
"Ya?" I smile. She doesn't look sad, angry, or upset. Her face is expressionless.
"Thanks for being such a good friend. I love you." She smiles weakly. At least she's showing a little bit of happiness.
"I love you too." I say back. I know that Izzy loves me, and it's nice to hear her say it, but I don't think she means it the same way that I do. I reach across the table and grab her hand. Her face lights up instantly.
"I thought #Jazzy wasn't real?" She laughs.
"We could make it real." I think to myself. Of course I would never actually say that out loud.
"Your pizza." The waitress smiles nervously and sets the pizza on the table.
"Thanks." Izzy returns the smile as well do I.
"I know this is probably really awkward cuz your on a date and all but can I get a picture? I'm a big fan." The waitress asks as pink blush rushes across her cheeks.
"Of course." Izzy laughs. She's adorable. Wait.. She never tried denying the 'date' part.
"Thanks so much guys. I love your videos."
"Aw thanks girl!" I reply, imitating the pink shirt girl💁 emoji. I love meeting fans.
"Do you have twitter?" Izzy asks.
"Uh, ya! Of course. I'll tweet you the picture!" The waitress laughs nervously as she pulls her phone out of her pocket.
"Charlotte. That's a pretty name." I smile as I read her name and follow her.
"Followed!" Izzy and I both say simultaneously and jinx each other.
"Thanks so much you guys!" Charlotte thanks us again.
"No problem! Thanks for the pizza!" Izzy replies. She's so cute when she talks to fans. She's so cute when she does anything.
"I should probably get going before my boss catches me slacking off." Charlotte flashes one more quick smile before waving goodbye. We both wave back before grabbing a slice of pizza.
"She was cute." Izzy says and takes a bite.
"Ya." I answer and basically shove the whole slice into my mouth.
*One pizza later*
"Shit it's already past midnight. We should go." Izzy tells me. We've been sitting here for over 2 hours talking. We fight over who pays but I insist since this was my idea.
"I'm paying you back." Izzy says and I roll my eyes as we leave. We sit in the car and jam out to Hilary Duffs song 'Chasing the sun'.
"Finally! One of my many queens has returned to her throne." Izzy sighs as we pull into the driveway of our house. I haven't been paying attention to much since we left the pizza place. I keep thinking about how Izzy never denied when Charlotte said we were on a date. My heart sparks a little, hoping that maybe Izzy likes me too, but my mind brings me back to the cruel reality in which we're just friends. I'm about to open the door when Izzy stops me and wraps her arms around me. I return the gesture and hug her back. So many thoughts run through my mind before Izzy breaks the silence.
"Jack, did you hear me?" She asks.
"Oh no sorry. Say it again?" I reply. I must've zoned out.
"Do you... Like... Me?" She whispers nervously. I don't know how to answer.
"Is it that obvious?" I manage to say as calmly as possible while I'm having a major panic attack on the inside. She giggles a little before looking up, and we meet eyes.
"It's okay Jack. I like you too."
I like you too. Those 4 short words instantly make everything better. I've imagined this scene so many times, but I never thought that it would ever actually happen. I realize that we're still staring into each others eyes. This is it. I've been waiting for this moment to happen for so long and it's finally here. I lean in slowly as she doesn't pull away this time. She leans in as well.
The feeling when our lips touch is indescribable. Like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
"And here's our... HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!" Anthony screams as he swings the door open while making a snapchat. Izzy and I jump apart as Anthony runs inside and up the stairs.
"Oops." Izzy laughs as she grabs my hand and we walk inside. I smile widely when her fingers intertwine with my own.
"HOLY SHIT ANTHONY JUST TOLD US WHAT HAPPENED!!" Rebecca yells as her and Cassie run downstairs.
"#JAZZY IS REAL!" Cassie shouts and the two of the jump up and down.
"Are you official?" Rebecca calms down slightly. I was really hoping to avoid this question until I found a clever way to ask Izzy to be my girlfriend.
"Uh..." Izzy mutters and looks at me.
"Hold on!" I say and run into the kitchen. I have an idea.
I search the fridge until I find what I'm looking for. I knew there we're still left over onion rings. When I come back to the staircase, Anthony, Becca and Cassie are all standing there with their phones out, cameras ready.
"Izzy." I say over dramatically as I bite my lip and get down on on knee. "Will you help me make #Jazzy real?" I hold up the onion ring.
"Aight." She nods her head and I put the onion ring on her finger. I stand up and hug her.
"Come my darling! To our honeymoon!" I yell as I pull away and pick her up bridal style. There's a lot of clapping, cheering, and fake crying as I walk up the stairs to my room and we sit down on the bed.
"So #Jazzy is official now?" She laughs while she grabs my arm, pulling herself into my side.
"We're official now." I answer and lean down to kiss her cheek. She blushes and stands up.
"I'm gonna go change and get ready for bed. Goodnight Jack." She smiles and heads to the door.
"Goodnight Izzy." I reply. She walks out and I spread out onto my bed. I can't believe that just happened. Izzy is my girlfriend. I guess all my waiting has finally paid off.

IZZYS POV
"We're official now." Jack tells me. I can't help but blush.
"I'm gonna go change and get ready for bed. Goodnight Jack." I smile and walk away.
"Goodnight Izzy." He replies as I exit the room. I head into Cassie and my room to see her and Rebecca sitting there on Beccas phone. They're on snapchat.
"And here's our... HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!" I hear Anthony's voice screaming through the iPhone speaker. Shit. He uploaded the video of Jack and I kissing to snapchat. The next few seconds of his story are just him freaking out and screaming "#Jazzy is real!"
"Izzy!" Cassie squeals and both of them stand up to hug me when they notice me standing there. "Or should I say Mrs. Thatsojack." She laughs.
"I ship you guys so much!" Rebecca squeaks as they release me. I smile widely and they both return the gesture, smiles just as huge. I spin around and walk to my large pile of clothes on the floor, and pull out some clean, dry, comfy sleepwear.
"Are you guys gonna make a video telling the fans?" Cassie whispers, sounding unsure of herself. I stop to pull my shirt on, and take my hair out of the back.
"I don't think so yet... It hasn't even been a day and..." I pause when I remember Anthony's snapchat story. "Anthony needs to deleted that snapchat!" I blurt as I quickly pull up my shorts and sprint out of the room.

"ANTHONY!" I yell as I throw open his door. He opens his mouth to speak but I don't let him. "Delete the video of Jack and I... NOW!" I add. He looks shocked, but pulls out his phone and I watch as he deletes it off his snapchat story. I realize that I sounded kind of rude so I apologize. "Sorry, I just don't want everybody knowing yet." I rub my arm and look down.
"It's okay. I know what you mean. Don't worry about it!" He smiles and pulls me into a hug. "But I can't believe that you and Jack are actually dating because I've been waiting for this day for so long you don't even know!" He speaks extremely quickly, making himself sound like Eminem.
We hang out in his room for a while until I remember that I left my phone in Jacks room.
"Crap, I left my phone in with Jack." I roll my eyes at myself and stand up.
"Kk, I'm going to bed. By bed I mean tumblr." Anthony smirks as he pulls out his laptop. I walk out of his room and down the hall to Jacks. The door is closed and there's no light shining through the cracks so I assume that he's asleep. I quietly open the door and feel my way towards the nightstand where I left my phone.
"Izzy?" I hear Jacks voice and faintly see his shirtless figure rolling over in the dark.
"Sorry I forgot my phone." I smile and blush a little. Good thing he can't see me.
"Oh." He mumbles, sounding almost disappointed.
"Oh?" I repeat.
"I thought you like, came to see me or something... I don't know, it doesn't matter. Goodnight." He whispers shyly and rolls back over, pulling the covers over himself. He's so cute when he gets nervous. I act without thinking and find myself lying down next to him, as I pull the covers over myself as well. He rolls back over to face me and I can tell that he's smiling, even though I can't see him. I cuddle into him and place my ice cold hands on his bare chest.
"Holy shit your cold!" He whisper yells and I giggle.
"I guess that just means that I need more cuddles." I smile and kiss his neck. He pulls me closer to him so that our legs are intertwined and his arms are wrapped around my back.
"Better?" He laughs.
"Better." I say as I nuzzle my head into his neck. I hear his breathing deepen after a while as he falls asleep.
"Goodnight Jack." I smile before falling asleep myself. I can't believe how perfect this whole night has been.
