Alex and I were pissing around with stuff on the bus, before I went to go meet Jack in the room. I walked in, and found him humming along to some song while taking out some of his bathroom products.

“What's got you s happy?” I asked, making him jump in surprise.
“I just love having a hotel.” He shrugged, before gathering up his stuff. “Plus, we get a free day.”
“True.” I smiled. “Whattya wanna do?”
“I don't now.” He called, once he was in the bathroom. “We can explore the town, get lunch, something.”
“Would it be chill if I brought my laptop?” I asked, unpacking a few of my things.
“Why?”
“Um... I just wanna narrow town our apartment searching.” I said.
“Oh come on.” He said, coming back out. “Let's just have fun today. Okay?”

I just sighed, and kept my computer in its case and nodded. Jack smiled, and grabbed my hand, tugging my hand and leading me out the door.

Jack never told me what we were doing, if I asked, he just said 'winging it.' I have no idea what's got into him, but his smile was still contagious throughout the day so I just went with it. We walked around the downtown area, visited a few small shops, and got lunch at a little hole in the wall Mexican place. We stayed out all day.

“Ugh, my feet.” I whined laying on the bed.
“You better be ready to get back up,” Jack chuckled. “We're going barhopping.”
“Just us?”
“No, I called the guys.” He said, changing his clothes.
“Can't we just...stay in?” I asked, sitting up. “We've been gone all day.”
“Come on Ember, live a little.” He said, and I scrunched my eyebrows. He almost sounded...annoyed with me. “Here, wear this.”

He threw a dress at me that I usually wore if we were going clubbing. It was deep red and hugged my body tightly down to my hips where it flowed freely to my knees. It had a wide, black belt and was strapless.

“Are we going somewhere that involves dancing?” I asked, changing anyway.
“Hopefully.”

I barely got done tugging on some matching heels when Jack was dragging me out of the room again.

We got to some dance club, and the first thing Jack did was down three shots of tequlia and ran off to the dancefloor. Alone.

“Um, did any of you give Jack crack?” I asked, looking at the guys.
“Why ask that?” Alex asked.
“He's been...so, I don't know. Overly lively?” I explained.
“Isn't that a good thing?” Rian asked.
“I mean,” I looked over to see him just dancing around alone. “I guess.”
“He's probably just excited about the freedom.” Alex assured. “Go join him out there. I'm going to go find a hot pair of boobs to bang.”
“This is why I don't respect you.” I laughed as we both got up.
“But you love me, that's all I ask.” He chuckled and we split ways.

“Hey stranger, need a partner?” I asked, walking up to Jack.
“Why yes I do.” He said, grabbing my hands and spinning around like a dork.

The night when on like this. Jack would claim a place to be boring and we run off to the next one. He was getting more and more drunk as the night went on, but I didn't do much about it. I was drinking too, so it's not like I had any say in cutting him off. Alex was getting annoyed that he didn't get chance to really flirt up some chicks, so he stayed behind at one bar. Zack tapped out at about midnight. Soon it was just Jack, Vin, Rian and I.

“J-jack.” I tugged on his arm. “I think we should go back to the hotel.”
“Why? We're havin fun.” He slurred. We found another club, and we were on the dancefloor. It was like, four in the morning.
“I stopped drinking two hours ago, and I'm tired.” I tried. “You need to sober up too, or you're gonna be hung over forever.”
“You can go, I'll be back later.”
“Jack! It's four in the morning. Please.” I tried again. He just ignored me, making me looked over at the guys for help.

Rian walked over, and put a hand on Jack's shoulder.

“She's right. This party is dead. Come on.”
“You all, are no fun. We're young! Let's take advantage of that.”
“I think you already did, dude.” Rian started tugging him off the floor. I followed after them.
“Ugh, of course the girl ruins the fun. Should have been a guys night.” Jack complains. I frown, but stay quiet. Rian shot me an apologetic look but I just shrugged it off. Jack's drunk. That's all.

I was trying to get out hotel room door while simultaneously keeping a hold on Jack's shirt. I don't know where he was trying to go or why he was singing Barbie Girl, and I didn't care.

“Jack, shut up. There's people sleeping.”
“But, I'm a barbie girl! In a barbie woooorld!” He yelled, and I shh'ed again right as the key finally worked.
“Finally, come on.” I pulled him into the room and shut the door.

Jack stumbled off to the bed, still humming Barbie Girl and I just rolled my eyes. I had to keep reminding myself that he was drunk. What he said before we left still bugged me, but there was no use confronting it. I went through our bags, getting out some pajamas for both of us.

“You can brush my hair! Undress me anywhere!” He sang out, and I sighed loudly.
“Jack, seriously. We're gonna get in trouble.”
“Ember.” He called.
“Yes?” I asked, walking over with the clothes. As soon as I got near enough, he sat up and grabbed my waist pulling me closer.
“Be my barbie girl.” He mumbled.
“Wha-” My question was cut off as his dragged me in for a sloppy and drunk kiss. I could taste all the alcohol in his mouth.
“Lemme undress you.” He mumbled, leaving a trail of his kissing to my neck as he tugged on my dress.
“Jack, no way.” I shoved his shoulders but he wouldn't budge. “Jack!”
“Shh,” He found the zipper and pulled it down. “I love you.”
“I love you too, but seriously. Not the time.” I said as he pulled the dress again.
“Why not?”
“You're drunk as hell.” I pointed out, trying to keep the dress on as he pulled on it.
“So?”
“I said no.”
“Why are you such a buzzkill?” He asked, getting that annoyed tone again.
“Why are you pushing this?”
“We're in a hotel, no ones around. I just wanna have sex.”
“Well, I don't.” I sighed, walking away from him. I tossed his clothes at him. “Just please, get changed. I'll be in the bathroom.”

I heard him grumble and stand up. I retreated to the bathroom and sighed, before removing the stupid dress. This was not right, something was definitely not right. I tried to think of what could possibly make Jack act this way, but drew a blank. Maybe it was just the alcohol. Letting it go, I put on the night shorts I had and loose top before looking back out into the room.

Jack was laying on the bed, now changed and staring at the ceiling. I walked over, and he looked at me. Making grabby hands at me, he whined and I got in next to him. Jack pulled me to him and rolled over so he was hovering over me. Dammit, I thought we were done with this.

“Hi baby.” He smiled down at me, and I frowned.
“I said no.”
“Is this because I didn't want to look at apartments?”
“No, I already told you, you're-”

Once again, he cut my off with a kiss. I put my hands on his shoulders and shoved him off.

“Quit it.” I demanded, Jack frowned at me before getting up and stumbling towards the door. “Where are you going?”
“To one of the other guy's rooms.”
“Why?”
“Cause your a bitch.” He said simply, and walked out of the room.

I sat there dumbfounded on the bed. What the flyin fuck?

Notes

Oh no.
