I nearly screamed with excitement when I saw Jack's face. I opened the door swiftly (but quietly) and wrapped my arms around his neck. I stood on my tip toes while doing it since he was like 6 plus feet tall and I barely made it to 5'5.

"What are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming until next week!" I said into his chest.

"I wanted to surprise you," he said hugging me.

I peeled myself away and smiled harder. "Surprise me, you did. Where are the guys?"

He threw a bag over his shoulder. "Back at the hotel. I'm going back later. I just really wanted to see you."

I couldn't stay still. I wanted to scream and move around. Damn parents. "Alright. It's freezing outside. Let's go inside."

"Are your parents home?" Jack asked.

I nodded. "And sleeping. So be quiet." I turned back at him and flashed my teeth in a smile.

We got into my room. I shut the door quietly behind him.

"You've been studying," he pointed out. "Why?"

I sighed and crawled on my bed. He laid on the foot of it, legs hanging off the edge. "I have an A- right now. I need an A plus in order to pass this class and graduate."

"When's graduation?"

"May 27th." I told him.

He pivoted his elbow and rested his head on his fist. He faced me. Jack smiled, "I'll be there."

I looked at him for a second. "So how was the flight?"

"Shitty as usual. Although.. Some flight attendant looked like Katy Perry." He stroked his chin and looked up.

"Well, isn't that super?" I snorted.

Jack grinned, "It really is!"

"How long are you staying?" I asked. That was probably the most depressing question ever. When a friend or family member lives in another state and comes up, there's always a deadline on how long they'll be there. It could be a few weeks or even days.

"The guys are leaving before me in a few days. They found out about you, and pressured me into letting them come. That phone call from yesterday or whatever? Never happening again," He was avoiding the question.

"Okay, but what about you?" I asked. I grew cold and grabbed a pillow.

"Whenever I want to." He smiled a dorky smile. "I don't have a due date."

"Due date... Are you pregnant?" I joked and poked his chest.

"Damn," he frowned. "Is the bump already showing?"

I giggled like an idiot.

My phone went off. I heard the vibrating. I sighed and grabbed it off of my desk. "Hold on." I said to Jack.

I looked at the Caller ID. Taylor.

"Hello?" I said in a bitchy voice.

"Look, Macy-"

"Look what?"

"I really think-"

I hung up. I threw the phone on my desk.

Jack looked confused. "Who was that?"

"This douchebag," I shrugged. Should I tell Jack? My stomach swelled up with worry. "I just dumped him today."

His eyebrows shot up with astonishment. "Boyfriend?"

I rubbed my face. I shook my head. "Don't worry about it. It's just you and me."

He nodded in agreement, "You and me."

I smiled slightly.

We talked and talked for a while more. He ended up falling asleep around 5 on my bed.

When I woke up around 9, I felt his arms around me. I didn't even mind.

I don't think I ever minded.

Jack was my best friend. I felt as if nobody could take that away from us.

I got up and stretched. I let Jack sleep.

He must've have had a really long night because around 4:30, he was slurring and talking nonsense. I told him he could stay since driving like that wasn't exactly the best thing. He agreed and crawled next to me.

I walked out of my room. Coffee filled my nose. My dad already left for work. He left the same time we fell asleep. I wondered what he'd think if he saw Jack. Probably not the best.

My mom was cleaning the windows with Windex. She wiped sweat off of her forehead. "Mornin'."

"Hi." I said sweetly and yawned.

"Long night?" She assumed.

I bit my lip. "Not exactly. Just a shocking one."

"Jack in there?" she asked. She looked up. Her expression wasn't the happiest. The sides of her lips were wrinkled in a stern frown.

I leaned on my foot. "He came last night." I said quickly.

She sighed. "Don't do anything with that man. I can easily call the cops on him as easy as I'm letting him in my house."

I looked down. "He's my best friend." I said in a small voice.

She looked at me and then got back to cleaning.

I wandered back into my room.

Jack was up. He looked at me, rubbing his eyes. "Are you free tonight?" he asked in a groggy voice.

"I think so, why?" I asked him. I sat on my bed.

"Time to meet the guys." He smiled. He laid his head back on the pillow.

He slowly started to snore.
