The next few weeks were a blur.

The tour was quickly coming to a close. We only had about a week & a half left. The whole time, I was mourning about not being able to see Jackie. Jack, however, was growing irritated with me constantly moaning about it, causing a fight in front of everyone.

"You know how delicate of a subject it is, Jack!" I yelled as tears flowed down my cheeks.

"I do. But you need to get over the fact that he won't let you see her. He's taken care of her, while you haven't. It only makes sense," Jack retorted calmly. Well, that stung.

"Do you even care?" I asked, glaring at him. I shifted my gaze to Alex's, then back to Jack's.

"Of course I do, Rebecca. It's just... it's been what? Four weeks?" He asked.

"So what!?" I yelled, "you know what, fuck you. If all you're gonna do is tell me I can't do something, then I won't do this anymore. Good riddance." I turned around & stormed off to my bunk, sniffling & wiping tears away furiously. I climbed in my bunk & pulled the curtain closed. I buried my face into my pillow & let out a sob.

Was I seriously that annoying? So annoying that my boyfriend couldn't stand me?

Hours passed, & I hadn't moved. Zack & Alex tried to talk to me, Jack too, but I waved them all off.

The next day, I woke up in someone's warm, comforting arms. I opened my eyes, seeing Jack sound asleep next to me. I forgot I was mad at him until my lips were planted firmly on his, successfully waking him up.

"Hmmm what? More kisses," he groaned, his voice laced thick with sleep.

"Let go of me," I grumbled. Jack groaned & sat up. I sat up as well, folding my arms over my chest.

"I'm sorry, Rebecca," he whispered.

"Sorry isn't gonna cut it, Jack," I said sternly. I looked at him, seeing the sad look on his face. I pulled my eyebrows together & looked away.

"Please forgive me, baby," Jack pleaded, his voice soft. I looked back at him & saw tears in his eyes. My expression softened, & I looked down, fumbling with my fingers. I felt really guilty all of a sudden.

"I forgive you," I said quietly, not meeting his gaze. He pulled me closer to him, & I rested my head in the crook of his neck. Jack twirled his fingers in my hair, & I had to admit, it felt good.

"I'm sorry too," I muttered, "I guess it was just the heat of the moment."

"It's fine, Becca. I love you," he muttered, & my heart stopped for a second. I pulled back & looked at him.

"W-What?" I asked, my heart now racing. He had a panicked look on his face.

"I-I didn't mean to say that.. it just... it just slipped out. I'm sorr-"

"It's fine, Jack.. I love you too," I replied.

"Don't just say it because I said it, you hear?" He asked. I nodded.

"It's true though," I muttered quietly. Jack smiled & pressed his lips to mine. I kissed him back & crawled onto his lap, straddling him. His hands went to my hips & under my shirt, & he dug his nails into my skin. I moaned quietly, & shifted on his lap, earning a groan from him in return. He started to lift my shirt up over my head, but I stopped him.

"Not now, please," I said, & he nodded.

"Anything for you, baby," he said, & he kissed me softly again.

"Can we avoid the 'L' word for a while? I still feel it's too soon," I said & Jack smiled.

"Of course, Becca," he said. I smiled.

Hopefully things would get a little better.
