Be My First 2 - Together Forever

Chapter 8 - Afterwards

  Paige's POV:

After the show, I sat backstage watching Jack's family and friends congratulate him. They all greeted me as well, and congratulated me on everything I had going. Jack J's family was here as well.

A few hours passed and people started to leave. Jack seemed pretty satisfied with the show. I can't lie, it was amazing. My voice was pretty much gone because I couldn't help but scream along with everyone else. Jack laughed at me during a song at one point.

After Emblem3 left, it was just Jack and Jack and me. Julia had to pick her grandma up from the airport, and I had to be dropped off at the airport pretty soon. I have a show in New York for Victoria's Secret. It's not for the public, and it's going to be used for me to see how they work things. Don said it's definitely possible that I could soon be a VS Angel. I don't know if I actually want to, but I think the show will be good experience.

I put the dancer's number into my phone. Her name is Lily. I'll bring her to my January show that's in Los Angeles.

Jack sat on the couch, looking at the ceiling.

"That was so crazy, like.. Oh my god." He said.

  "You guys did amaaaaaazing." I said.

"I can tell.. You sound like you have strep." Jack J laughed.

"I know, this isn't good." I shook my head smiling.

"You're so cute." Jack teased.

I playfully rolled my eyes.

"You should go on Instagram and like all these girls' pictures.. They're using the #Omaha1220 hash tag and some of these pictures are so sick." I scrolled through the tags and liked a few pictures.

"I'm so tired." Jack closed his eyes. Jack J didn't hesitate to punch him.

Jack laughed. "I know I know."

"I've been here since eight am." Jack J shook his head.

"Shit Paige, we gotta go." Jack looked at his phone. It was 12:30, and my flight leaves at 3am. I still needed to say goodbye to my parents, so that's what we went to do.

After saying hi to a few people, we finally made it out of the venue. My house was only like 20 minutes away.

When we pulled into my driveway, I grabbed my bag and got out. Jack rolled down his window.

"K, I'll be back in like 15 minutes, do you want something from In N Out? Wait.. That was a dumb question. Yes you do." He said.

I started laughing. He reached over and gave me a kiss.

"See you in a few." I grinned. I waved at Jack J.

I walked up my porch, noticing that all the lights were off. I hesitantly took out my house key and unlocked the door, walking inside.

"Hello?" I said. I turned on the kitchen light.

They knew I was leaving.. Why wouldn't they be here? I went downstairs and started packing a little bag. I was only going to be there for a day.

When I was done, I went upstairs and waited in the kitchen for Jack and Jack.

I heard footsteps behind me. Quickly, I whipped around. Nobody was there.

I got up and grabbed a cup of water. I stood at the kitchen sink, drinking it.

"Paige." I heard a faint whisper. My heart froze and I set down the water. I turned around, and nobody was there. So is this house haunted now? By Ava? Or am I starting to hallucinate sounds?

I squoze my eyes shut and shook my head. Jack pulled into the driveway, thank god.

Before grabbing my bag and heading out, I looked around one more time and made sure nobody was here. I walked out the door and locked it with my key.

  I ran out to the Jeep, smiling at Jack taking a huge bite of the burger. I hopped in and he started driving.

He threw my burger back and it hit me in the head. He started laughing.

"No I really didn't mean to do that, I'm sorry." He grinned.

"Here." Jack J handed me a shake. "I wasn't gonna throw this at your head." He said. I giggled. "Thanks guys."

Models don't usually eat like this.. But once in a while I have to. This is one of the reasons I didn't want to model for Victoria's Secret. They have to be a certain weight and look a very certain way and I don't know if I wanted to be something that I'm really...not.
