I was starting to wonder where Alice had got to. I wasn’t worried; I knew that she could look after herself. Knowing her she would be sat at the bar with some gorgeous musician buying her drinks.

I was still in All Time Low’s dressing room, sat on the couch with Jack watching the others play video games. They were hilarious to watch, they got so into it. Controllers were being thrown around and they were screaming at the TV screen.

“You had me scared earlier.” Jack said. I turned to look at him and he met my gaze. I spoke without thinking.

“So did you.” Jack frowned at me.

“It doesn’t matter now.” But I wasn’t getting out of it that easily. He smiled at me with intrigue, waiting for an explanation. Well done Rose.

“Well… the look on your face when you saw me. I wasn’t expecting you to be overjoyed; I didn’t know what I expected honestly. But you looked like you’d seen a ghost.”

Jacks eyes softened, he playfully nudged me with his shoulder.

“Why would I not be happy to see you? And anyway, I wasn’t looking at you. I was looking at the idiot behind you.” That reminded me that I hadn’t thanked him.

“Thanks for helping me out. Not that it was worth you getting hurt for” I ran my finger along his bottom lip, it looked so sore.

“There’s nothing to thank me for, we’re even now.” He licked my hand with a smirk.

“EW!” I laughed, wiping the spit on my hand back on him.

The bands manager appeared at the door.

“Right guys, it’s about time we left. All the gears been loaded up already, we’re just waiting on you.”

Great. My face dropped, I didn’t want to leave him again. Jacks expression mirrored mine and the rest of the boys groaned in unison.

“Hey, Rose. What are you doing tomorrow?”

“Uh, nothing…why?” I looked at Alex in confusion.

“Why don’t you meet us, you can bring Alice. We’re only traveling a few miles away. We’re spending the day on the beach.”

Jack flashed a quick grin at Alex, who winked in return. I didn’t need to think about my reply.
