I woke up feeling like going straight back to bed. I closed my eyes immediately to light that were above me. My head was in someone's lap and throbbing with a killer headache. I tried to recall last night's events when I remembered everything about Jack and I's fun in the basement. I opened my eyes again, blinking and looked up to find Jack sitting up, wide awake, looking to his left.

“Dude, you two were so loud last night.” I heard Alex say and looked down to see Alex at the other side of the couch. How long have I been asleep? Better yet, when the fuck did I get dressed? “People who I didn't even know knocked on my bedroom door telling me to shut up the sex freaks in my basement.”
“You're just jealous you're not getting amazing sex” I felt Jack left, his hand running through my hair.
“Oh whatever, you're banging your fucking sister man.” I kicked Alex, and he jumped. “Ow! Hey! How long have you been awake?”
“Long enough.” I slowly sat up, before groaning and gave up, laying back down. “Everything hurts.”
“My bad.” Jack laughed. “It's like, one in the afternoon. We need to go home.”
“No.” I pouted, rolling over and curling up. “Head hurts, body hurts. Wanna go back to sleep.”
“Fuck no, get out of my house!” Alex yelled loudly, making me whine at the loud noise.
“Ember, if you get up you can nap in my room.” Jack offered, I thought about it.
“Will you buy McDonalds on the way home?”
“Sure.”
“And lay with me when we get back?” I said in a baby voice.
“Anything, hun.” He promised.

“You two are making me puke.”
“Fuck off, Lex.” I said, but it lacked bite. I sat up again, ignoring all the pain I was feeling and slowly stood up. “I'm gonna need half a bottle of advil.”
“Got you covered.” Alex said, tossing some at me. Thankfully, I caught it. “Now you can't hate me.”
“I can try.” I smirked, taking the pills anyway.

I had to drive us home, since Jack still had his license taken away. He did pay for McDonald's, which I ate quickly and just felt more like I need to sleep more. We finally pulled up to our drive way.

“Yeeeeees.” I sighed, but didn't move from the car yet.
“You sound like you're dying.” Jack laughed, “Here's I'll carry you to my bed.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” Jack came around to my side of the car, and scooped me out. This is when I figured out I was wearing some shorts that were clearly one of the guy's and Jack's shirt he had last night. “Sorry that last night got kinda of nuts.”
“The orgasms were worth it. Trust me.” I laughed, looping my arms around his neck. “Are the rents home?”
“Nah, they went off to get lunch. They offered to bring us, but I told them you were too worn out from being fucked to death.” I smacked him weakly, and he just nuzzled his nose against mine. “We have to do that again.”
“How about we wait a month...or two.” I chuckled.

We made it to his room, where I put on some different clothes, and a sweatshirt. One I was done, Jack laid me down first before pulling the covers over me. He laid down above the blanket and pulled me into his arms. I sighed in contentment, breathing in his scent, which was surrounding me. I closed my eyes, and started to drift off...but Jack spoke up.

“Hey Ember?”
“Sleeping.” I whined.
“Just real quick,” I opened one eye, and looked at him.
“Yes?”
“Tomorrow...can you maybe, not go to the therapy office with me?”
“Why?” I asked, concerned. I went to sit up, but Jack made me stay laying down.
“Because, you've done so much for me, but I really think I should try this out on my own, ya'know?”
“Are you sure?” I asked, and he nodded. I just relaxed and smiled. “Okay, but let me know how it goes at least, alright?”
“Of course I will.” He kissed me on my forehead. “Thank you. Go to sleep.”
“Bossy.” I mumbled, but did so anyway.

The last thing I heard was Jack humming as he ran his hands through my hair.

When I woke up again, it was dark outside. I slowly made my way downstairs to find everyone in the living room. I coughed, and they all looked at me.

“Hey look, it's my hungover get.” My dad teased, and I rolled my eyes.
“You told them, Jack?”
“How else was I supposed to explain that you were still in bed?”
“It's okay,” My dad reassured. “Just don't make it regular.”
“Yes, dad.” I laughed. “Have you guy's eaten yet?”
“Yes dear.” Joyce answered. “But your plate is in the fridge, ready to be warmed up.”

I nodded, and walked into the kitchen. I put the food in the microwave and sat on the counter, waiting patiently. Jack walked in shortly, and stood between my legs. His arms wrapped around me, as he smiled.

“I have good news.”
“Oh?”
“Alex called me a little bit after you fell asleep.” He said, and smiled even bigger. “Matt got a call from the record company. We have a shot.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.” I squealed and gave him a hug.
“Congrats, babe.”
“Which, brings me to another subject.” I looked at him, waiting.
“We should talk to our parents...before this all happens.”
“Jack...I don't know...”
“Please? I want you to come with me if we get this deal. It all starts with a summer tour, and I don't want to leave you behind. You keep me sane, I'll still be working through my issues then and I need to have my anchor.” He pleaded.
“Jack...” I mumbled, and took a deep breath. “If you guys get the deal, and this all really does happen. We'll tell them, okay?”
“Promise?”
“I promise.”

Jack leaned in and gave me a kiss right as the microwave beeped. I wasn't that hungry though.
