Alex’s POV

“Alex! Wake up!” Rian yelled.

I opened my eyes and looked at him, he looked pale as hell. I sat up in bed and realised I’m still wearing yesterday’s clothes.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“We can’t find Jack” he replied.

“What!” I exclaimed.

“We can’t find him, his beds still made, he hasn’t left a note, we can’t seem to get through to his phone” Rian explained.

I stood up and fixed myself a little as I walked out of the room and went over to Billie, Mike and Tre. I knocked on the door and waited but there was no answer.

“Dammit, they must be out, and we have a damn signing in two hours. Fucking hell Jack” I groaned.

I headed back into the room and saw Rian and Zack sitting on the couch.

“Any luck?” Zack asked.

“They aren’t in” I replied.

“Dammit” Rian cursed.

I sat down with my head in my hands and sighed.

“He can’t just disappear, why would he have to go somewhere without telling us?” I questioned.

Rian and Zack shrugged and I felt tears sting my eyes as I looked down. I care about Jack a lot. He can’t be missing, he just can’t. I don’t know what to do at all. I let the tears fall from my eyes as I felt them running down my cheeks. Where the hell could he be? Where would he go? Am I responsible? Think Alex, think.

Suddenly the room door opened and I stood up quickly. I walked into the hallway and saw Jack walk in.

“Jack!” I yelled, running to him.

I threw my arms around him and he stumbled back a little.

“What the hell?” he asked.

I held him tighter as I sobbed and buried my face into his neck.

“Jack you scared us! We thought you were missing! Where the fuck were you!” I exclaimed.

“Out for a walk” he answered.

“With no note, or a phone!” I yelled, pulling away.

Jack wiped the tears from my eyes but I pulled away again.

“My phone was flat and I didn’t think to leave a note” he answered.

I shook my head as I wiped tears away.

“Excuses Jack, excuses. I’m going to get ready for the signing, you should too” I whispered, turning away and going into the bedroom.

Not only am I angry with Jack now, I’m upset that he didn’t trust in me. Hopefully I’ll keep my cool at the signing.

*Time lapse two hours*

We sat down at the signing table and looked at the line of fans waiting to meet us.

“Jeez there’s a lot” Zack mused.

“We’re pretty popular I guess” I replied.

Some fans walked up and we said some hello’s, took some photos, hugged people, chatted with them and signed their stuff. They were all really nice and it sort of took the tension off of what happened earlier with Jack. What a day this will be.

*Time lapse half an hour*

We’d gotten through a lot of people in half an hour, there was just a few bands left now. I saw a tall blonde walk up to Jack and lean on the table.

“Hi there Jack” she cooed, her British accent setting in.

“Uh hi” he replied.

“Oh my god, you’re so much cuter in real life” she giggled.

I felt my hand tighten as my knuckles went a little white.

“Um thanks” he muttered.

“You know, if you’re not busy later you could come up to my apartment” she purred.

I gritted my teeth and watched her. She lifted her hand and caressed it on Jack’s cheek. That does it!

“Back off you tart!” I roared, standing up.

It grew quiet as she stood up and glared at me.

“And why is it any of your business? Are you his lover boy or something?” she snapped.

“No, but I am his best friend, and no one touches my best friend like that” I growled.

The remaining fans started to do a chant using my name. I moved closer to the blonde and stared at her.

“Now I suggest you leave before you get into any more trouble” I issued.

She glared at me and clenched her teeth.

“Whatever you say, asshole” she spat.

“Don’t come back!” I called.

She disappeared and I sat back down in my seat as we signed the rest of the fans things and headed back to the hotel to relax.

*Time lapse eight hours*

“We’re just going out to get some food!” Zack called from the hallway.

“Alright, be careful” I warned.

They closed the door and I walked out to the lounge area and sat down. I noticed Jack sitting out on the balcony, watching the sunset as it was nearly 6pm now. He was curled up on the couch and I sighed. I should go talk to him. I put down the TV remote and walked over to the door, sliding it open. Jack looked over as I poked my head out and he turned away. I walked over to the couch and sat beside him.

“Hey” I spoke.

“Hey yourself” he replied.

“Jack, I’m sorry, I was just worried, you know how much I care about you” I whispered.

“No” Jack mumbled. “I’m sorry for not telling you where I was going, or leaving a note” he mused.

“I forgive you” I answered.

Jack smiled a little and he let me snuggle up to him.

“Thanks for telling that blonde off today too” he added.

“I hated seeing her touch you like she was yours” I issued.

There was a little bit of silence then I felt Jack kiss my forehead lightly.

“I only belong to one person” he whispered.

“Hmm?” I questioned, looking up at Jack.

Our eyes made contact and we just stared at each other for what seemed like ages. I could swear I saw Jack moving closer to me, his eyes on my lips.

“Jack” I whispered.

Without another word I felt Jack’s lips press softly against mine, fitting nicely. He was kissing me! But wait, what the hell am I doing! I’m not gay!

Jack’s POV

“Jack” Alex whispered.

I didn’t utter another word as I pressed my lips softly against his. It was perfect, it felt so right to me. Suddenly, Alex pushed me away and stared at me.

“Jack, no this is wrong” he spat.

“But Alex” I whispered.

“No, Jack I...I’m sorry” he muttered.

Alex got up and walked back into the room, slamming the bedroom door closed. I turned back to look out at the sunset as tears formed in my eyes.

“Jack we’re back!” Zack yelled, stepping outside.

I turned around to face him and his smile disappeared when he saw me crying. He walked over and sat beside me and pulled me into his arms.

“Jack what the hell happened?” Zack asked worriedly.

“I-I kissed Alex and he pushed me away. Now he hates me” I sobbed.

“You kissed him?” Zack questioned.

“I’ve been feeling weird around him lately Zack, so I asked Billie for some advice after our concert. He said I must like Alex, so I wanted to see if Alex felt the same. He obviously doesn’t and I feel so stupid” I explained.

Zack hugged me tighter and rubbed my back.

“Maybe you should go and see Billie” he issued.

I nodded as I grabbed my phone and went to my contacts and found Billie’s number. I pressed the call button and it started to ring. Pick up dammit.

“Hello?” Billie answered.

I sighed in relief.

“Hey Billie, it’s Jack, can we please meet up?” I asked.

*Time lapse one hour*

“Hey Jack” Billie said as he opened the door to his room.

“Hey” I mumbled.

I walked in as he closed the door behind me and I walked into the lounge.

“Mike and Tre gone out have they?” I asked.

“Yeah, they went to buy new equipment. So uh, make yourself comfortable, I’m gonna have a quick shower. Won’t be long” Billie issued, slipping into the bathroom.

I sat down on the couch and wiped a stray tear away, I can’t let Billie see me cry. I never realised that I could be gay, I mean, that blonde, I didn’t pay attention to her at all. I sighed and rubbed my eyes lightly. I heard the door open and Billie walked out in a pair of jeans and a towel on his head. Oh god he’s shirtless. I blushed as I looked away a little and Billie sat on the chair across from me. He started ruffling his hair as he dried it with the towel then wrapped it around his neck. His makeup was smeared slightly but it looked hot. Oh, shit did I really just think that? Billie smiled as he put his hands behind his head and I clenched my teeth at how amazing his body was.
“So what’s this get together for?” he questioned.

“Billie, I kissed Alex and he pushed me away. Your stupid theory was wrong and I’m extremely pissed off” I snapped.

Billie’s smile disappeared and he sat forward.

“Jack, I’m really sorry man, y’know. Maybe Alex was just surprised” he mused.

“I doubt it because he said no Jack this is wrong” I whimpered as I stood up and went for the door.

“Jack wait!” Billie called.

I grabbed the handle on the door but Billie had grabbed my wrist. He pulled it away and held me against the wall. His arm above my head and the other still holding my wrist.

“B-Billie what are you doing?” I whispered.

“Jack ever since I lay eyes on you I knew there was something about you” Billie muttered.

He moved closer and I felt his body press against mine and I whimpered. His hand trailed up my arm and to my cheek, wiping away some stray tears.

“Let me show you what it’s like to feel wanted, just one night Jack, no feelings or anything” Billie whispered, his lips inches from mine.

I nodded slightly as Billie smirked and I felt his lips smash against mine. I ran my hands through his hair and gripped it slightly as Billie ran his hands under my shirt. I moaned into the kiss and turned Billie around so he was against the wall. My lips left his mouth and started to trace down his neck as I lifted Billie’s legs around my waist.

“Jesus Chris Jack” he groaned.

I smirked against his neck as I pinned him against the wall, barely any space left between us. My lips met Billie’s again and we fought for dominance as I walked over to the bed and and threw Billie down as I climbed over him and nipped on his neck softly. I stood up and ripped my shirt off as I crawled over Billie again and ran my hand up his leg. Billie smirked as he ran his hands down my back and gave my ass a squeeze.

“You’ll pay for that” I growled.

“Oh really now?” Billie teased with a wicked grin across his face.

I smirked as I pressed my lips firmly against Billie’s. This feels so wrong but Alex doesn’t want me, why bother?

*Time lapse one hour*

“Come over any other time if you need” Billie cooed.

I was standing outside his room at 12am, Mike and Tre were on their way back so I had to leave.

“We leave for Leeds this morning” I whispered.

“Oh right” Billie chuckled. “Anyway you better go” he issued.

I nodded as I lent forward and pecked Billie’s lips then turned around and headed back to our room. I unlocked the door quietly and slipped my shoes off as I crept down the hallway and went to grab some water.

“God my back” I groaned.

Suddenly a light flickered on and I screamed as I saw Alex sitting in the lounge chair.

“Where have you been?” he asked.

“Why does it matter?” I asked.

“Because I like to make sure my best friend is ok” Alex replied.

“Yet you ran away when I kissed you” I snapped.

“That’s besides the po-” Alex stopped and looked at my shirt, an angry expression on his face. “Have you been with someone?” he questioned.

“No” I muttered.

Alex walked up to me and pulled an empty condom packet out my shirt.

“Explain this?” he snarled.

“I-uh” I stammered.

“Dammit Jack who was it!” Alex roared.

“Billie” I whispered.

Alex gasped as he stood back, a lost expression on his face. He shook his head as his lip trembled and he ran for our bedroom.

“Alex wait!” I yelled.

Alex threw my stuff out into the hallway and slammed the door.
“Go swap beds with Rian or Zack! Tell one of them to sleep here! Stay away from me ok! I hate you Jack!” Alex yelled, his sobs clearly choking him up.

Tears stung my eyes at his words and I sat on the floor and sobbed. What have I done?
