One Week Later

-Alex POV-

We were sat on the flight back home to Baltimore, I'd managed to get a few more tracks done for my album and everything was going really well. Within the next month or so Austin wants me to do a video for 'Daydream Away' so that would be a fun experience I suppose, I have no idea what Jack's plans are music wise, I'm too wrapped up in my own little world right now to ask. As soon as we get back we're going straight to my place to pick up my stuff remembering that he asked me to move in; I mean, we pretty much live out of each other's pockets as it is, so why not make it official?

''You don't look so good, you felling okay?'' Jack asked, squeezing my hand.

I shrugged. ''Just lagged I guess.''

''You probably have a blood disease.'' He laughed with a wink, reminding me of the time I tried to get out of going to Pierce The Veil's house party.

I shot him a death glare and a weak smile. ''Fuck you.''

I reclined my seat slightly and pulled an eye mask over my face, deciding that I could sleep it off, I heard a small buzz coming from beside of me signalling that Jack had a text.

''Hey, Lex?'' He whispered, checking to see if I'd dozed off yet.

''Mhm?''

''Can Kellin come over, yanno, help us with your stuff, maybe have a beer after?''

I peeled the mask from my face and raised an eyebrow. ''Why are you asking for my permission you moron? Of course he can.''

''I asked because I was trying to be considerate.'' He said with a half smile, typing a reply on his cell.

I sat up to give him a quick peck on the cheek, double checking around us first so that no one would see, then I untangled my earbuds from my phone and put on some soft music to try and help me drift off.

Kellin had met us at the airport with his car, not the big black four by four, but some kind of convertible, I'm not good with cars, but it was nice. Jack took the passenger seat so that I could lay down in the back, now feeling worse than on the plane.

We were now pulling up outside and I zipped up my jacket, preparing myself for the cold March breeze that I would shortly encounter. I opened my door about to get out when Jack turned to look at me as if I'd just threw up live worms.

''You can stay here if you want babe, we'll go get your stuff.'' He said.

''No way, I don't want you guys to find my dildo collection!" I laughed, earning a really worried look from our driver. ''Besides, I'm gonna put most of it in storage.''

We all clambered out of the car and I fumbled around in my pocket trying to locate my keys and get them in the lock. Once I did I was welcomed to the familiar scene in front of me, clothes strewn out on the floor, over the back of the couch, plates and cups still on the side and the entire place smelt like death, probably because I hadn't been here in months. ''Okay, Jack, you're on clothes duty, pick this all up and put it in a black bag which you can find under the kitchen sink, Kellin, can you get my guitars? And I'll go upstairs and get a few other bits and bobs.''

They both nodded and we were each on our separate little missions, I darted up the stairs to my bedroom, getting a few things that I didn't take to the studio with me, such as a few books, a picture of Tom that I always kept by my bed and the small ring box behind my toilet that contained my razors that I kept for the 'just in case' scenarios.

I heard footsteps come up so I quickly shoved the box into my back pocket and pretending to look around for more things when I felt two arms snaking their way around my waist from behind and a soft set of lips pressing against my neck.

''Hello beautiful.'' I chuckled and turned to face him, looking into his gorgeous brown eyes.

''You all done up here? Downstairs has been sorted and we can come back in a few days to sort out the storage stuff, we need to get you home.''

Home. Home wasn't Jack's house, home was Jack, just being wherever he was, wrapped up in his arms in a random hotel, a spare room. He was my home, and all I could ever ask for.

I nodded, not able to find the right words to say in that moment of time and I planted a kiss on his lips, not wanting to make him ill to so I pulled away and hugged him instead, letting out a content sigh.

We walked back out to the car hand in hand and loaded the few things into the trunk, my guitars next to me in the back as I didn't want them to be damaged and this time we decided to put on a radio station, making Bring Me The Horizon's new song 'Shadow Moses' start to play, Kellin immediately singing along as he was the only one with the ability to do so, leaving Jack and I to angrily whisper and head bang.

I was so lucky that the journey between our houses was only about 10 minutes or so because throughout the day I just kept feeling worse and worse. We walked into Jack's....our house and just put everything in the kitchen seeing as it was the nearest to the front door, I dragged myself to the couch and slumped onto it, my head pounding.

''You alright dude?" Kellin asked, sitting down next to me.

''Peachy,'' I replied, probably a bit to harshly. ''Sorry for snapping, I just feel like death, yanno? It's all this travelling, I'm just not used to it I guess.''

''Maybe you should go and get some rest fr a few hours, I'll probably still be here.'' He smiled.

''You know what, Kell? That sounds like a plan. I'll see you in a few.'' I stood up lightheaded and gave him a bro fist before I met Jack in the hallway.

''You moving out again already?" He laughed, putting his arms around my neck. ''Because I won't let you, you're my prisoner forever and ever now.''

''Of course not, I'm just gonna get a few hours sleep, try and sleep this off,'' I gestured to my head, trying to physically point to a headache. ''I'll only be a few hours, then we can celebrate moving in properly, okay?''

''Sure, not like I'll be alone or anything,'' he said pulling me in for a deep kiss before I pulled away to get some air. ''Sweet dreams.''

I plodded half way up the stairs before he called out my name, I turned to face him still stood in the same spot in the hallway.

''Lex, I love you.''

I felt a red flush creep up onto my cheeks as I looked down embarrassed but eventually bring my eyes up to meet his. ''I love you too Jaybird.''

He blew me a kiss and went into the lounge to keep Kellin company whilst I sauntered up the stairs to Jack's bedroom that was now my room too. I drew the curtains to a close to darken the room and got in between the sheets, wishing the ground would just swallow me up so I wouldn't be in this much pain.

My mind started to wander to what the hell I was going to do for my music video. When I wrote it, I didn't even think about that aspect of it, I just wrote down my feelings and hoped for the best. It was a slow song and quite mellow so a bit flashy production things was out of the window; I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't even be in the video, just have a random couple in there being all cliché. I started thinking up the outfits they would wear, what they would be doing, if Austin would even be okay with it...probably not, all these 12 year old girls will complain that they can't see my face or something stupid, oh I don't know, I'll figure it out when I get to it I suppose.

By this point I thought I was going to throw up, my stomach was churning and I had that horrible metallic taste in my mouth, I rushed over to the bathroom to get a glass of water to calm my body down, I refilled it and sat down on the bed again, I need painkillers, painkillers should help, I mean, that's if I don't bring them back up in five minutes or so. I opened the drawer in the small cabinet on my side of the bed, only to find packets of Jelly Beans and condoms. I internally groaned and rolled my eyes, I flipped myself over to Jack's side and opened his drawer. Laid carefully on top were three or four porn magazines, which made me chuckle a bit, I picked them out and put them on the bed next to me, turning my attention back to the drawer, finding old keys, batteries, chargers and right at the back, something I couldn't quite believe. And surpressed anger rose to my surface, making me forget what I was even looking for.

I picked up the small plastic pouch, scowling at it's contents.

The fluffy green plant inside that I was all too familiar with.

Canabis.
