COLLISION ➳ JACK GILINSKY

Chapter Thirty-Seven

Alyssa’s P.O.V.

 

I got my laptop out and called Jack on Skype.

 

After he had did that little performance in Omaha, which helped my image including Collision’s image a lot. All of the media were buzzing about it, saying how cute that was and how we were bound to get married soon. There actually have been rumors going on that he gave me a promise ring or even a marriage proposal, just because I had a ring on my finger. The ring was actually a gift from Jack, but it wasn’t a promise ring or even a marriage ring at that. It was just a normal ring that I said I liked when we passed a shop, but didn’t have a time to stop it. And the ring wasn’t even on my left hand, it was on my right, but I guess, the media has a way of manipulating the truth.

 

Anyways, since his little show that he put on for me really helped with my image, and with our sales going up and money coming in for our relationship, I would think that Annie would approve of us, but she shocked me when she said she didn’t. She had told me that he was still bad news, with his recent drug issues, and if the paps found out about it, then it would be bigger news than his performance dedicated to me. Even though, I necessarily begged for her to let Jack and Jack back on tour, and that we could even keep Sammy and Nate along the road with us, but she declined. I tried going to Stacey, since she was our manager and all and a higher level than Annie, to convince her to let them come back, but she was no help. Somehow, Annie got her to agree with her full heartedly and wouldn’t even listen to me about it, so Jack and I were stuck miles away, dealing with a long distance relationship again. After he had told me that he loves me.

 

I haven’t said it back yet. I knew I like him more than I had liked any other guy, but I wasn’t 100%  sure that I love him. I knew that I feel different around him, happier even, but I’m still uncertain. Although, he wasn’t in any rush to hear me say it back to him, and I was glad of that. I wouldn’t feel forced to say something I didn’t really mean or pressured into saying those three big words that I have kept hidden in a long time, just because I was scared of losing him. He wouldn’t force me to make that decision, and that was one of the many reasons why I like him. I could see myself loving him though.

 

Something popped up onto my screen and I smiled as I saw Jack’s name. I was still smiling when I accepted his call and appeared on my screen.

 

I hadn’t known it was possible for someone to look so perfect all the time, but now I knew because of Jack. Everytime we skyped, if it’s in the early morning or late at night, he still looked beautiful. Even if his hair was still a mess from just waking up, he still looked perfect. Even if he had bags under his eyes from waking up too early to work and then staying up late just to Skype with me, he still looked perfect. And right now he looked perfect, and I miss him even more.

 

“What is it?” he asked, and I hadn’t realized that I haven’t spoken.

A small smile appeared on my face, “Nothing.” But he gave me a look that let me know that he wouldn’t stop pestering me about it until I gave him a reasonable answer. “It’s just that I miss you.”

 

His face seemed to drop a bit as he stared at me through his camera. “I miss you too, babe.”

 

“I wish you were here with me. Been awhile since I woke up to someone snoring.”
