New York

Tay POV

New York, New York, how I fucking hate you right now New York. Today is the last day of tour and I'm pretty fucking bummed. Tomorrow at 5 p.m., Jenna and the rest of the guys will be on a plane to Australia, while the Alive Like Me guys will be on their way back to Oregon. I've grown close to all of them, even the ALM guys. I'll miss Jairus' crazy eyes and Dakota's dorky jokes. Above everything though, I'm going to miss Jenna the most. I'll miss the times we made fun of each other, I'll miss the times she held my hand, I'll miss the cute kisses, but most of all, I'll miss her scent. That slight vanilla and mint scent that drove me crazy in the first place. There is no doubt in my mind when I say that I am in love with her. I am so scared of losing her, I called up one of my favorite jewelers in New York. The designs are simple but they're so elegant and last forever. I made sure my boys distracted Jenna while I went to go pick up my order.

As I walked down the streets, I thought about how worried Jenna looked when we pulled in last night. I know she thinks I'll just leaver her when she leaves, so that's why I came her today. I want to give her something that will show her that I'm not going anywhere. I did this a while back, a few hours before we played in Pittsburgh. I heard the little bell above the door ring, signaling my entrance.

"Ah, Miss Jardine! Pleasure to see you again," the middle aged man behind the counter said with an Italian accent.

"Hey, Vin. It's great to be back. Is my order ready?" I said as I tapped my fingers on the counter nervously.

"Si, mi amore. I have got it right here," he pulled a small black box from under the counter.

I opened the slim box and in it lied perfection. I pulled out the white gold band lined with black diamonds from the padding in the box and felt the smooth craftsmanship. It twinkled in the light and my eyes started to water. I could feel the engraving on the inside and I smiled to myself.

"It's perfect, Vin. Thank you," I said in a small voice.

"it is my finest work. So glad you are finally, eh, settling down? I imagine she is a wonderful woman." He smiled widely at me.

"Well, what can I say? She's perfect, and I'm perfectly in love."

Vin clapped his hands in delight and I pulled out my card to pay him. "No no, only, eh, $100 for you, mi amore," he interrupted me.

I stared at him wide eyed. It's easily a $1300 piece. I tried to refuse but he insisted, kept saying it was an "early wedding gift" and other things in Italian that I barely understood. I thanked him with a huge bear hug and headed out the door, while he yelled at me to say hello to my mother for him. I felt the freezing breeze hit my face and I pulled my scarf over my nose. Even though it was freezing, the streets were still full of people walking over to their destination. I was so glad the venue was only a few blocks from the jewelry store.

When I finally stepped foot in the bus, I was attacked by a bunch of blows from my pillows.

"Ow, what the fuck?!"

"Cease fire!" Aussie yelled.

"Sorry, mate. Thought you were Mike and Rob. We've only been waiting for them for about an hour," Jake apologized.

"It's fine. Where's Jen?" I asked as I took a water bottle out of the fridge.

"She went with Jordan and Cameron to get a bite," Aussie answered.

I sat down on the couch and Jake plopped down next to me.

"So I heard from a bird that you're going to propose to Jen," he blurted out with a stupid smile on his face.
