"I never did listen to Nothing Personal or Dirty Work," I told Jack as I was making the three of us breakfast.

"Well, we can if you want. I have both of them," Jack said. I turned to face him and caught him rubbing his arm.

"Is it bothering you?" I asked, concern laced in my tone.

"A little, but not too much," he said.

"If it gets worse, you let me know, Jack," I said sternly, and he smiled at me.

"I will and you know that," he said, and I turned back around.

After we all ate, Jack took my truck to meet up with the guys, so it was just me and Jackie.

"Do you want to listen to daddy's CD's?" I asked as I looked for them. I turned to see her nodding her head as she flipped through her coloring book. I smiled to myself as I found both CD's, and I popped them into the stereo. Nothing Personal started up with Weightless, and I sighed as I followed along with the lyrics in the booklet. Not even a minute in and there's cussing.

Halfway through Dirty Work was when Jack arrived home. I looked up at him and smiled as he planted a kiss on my lips.

"Glad you like it," he said.

"No, I hate it. The worst thing I've ever heard," I said. Jack only rolled his eyes as he sat down next to me.

"Jackie.. can mommy and daddy talk in private for a couple minutes?" Jack asked Jackie who nodded and ran as fast as she could up the stairs, leaving her coloring book behind.

"What's wrong?" I asked, placing a hand on Jack's knee.

"Matt told me that since we've got Jackie now... He told me to tell you that you can't work for the band anymore," Jack said. I smiled softly.

"I kind of figured, Jack. I'm not going to be taking Jackie on tour. There's no way that could end well. I'll get a job, don't worry," I said. He smiled and kissed me gently.

"Granted, I'll miss the job, and I'll miss being around you guys all the time, but it's the sacrifice I'm going to have to make," I said.

"I'm glad you're taking it well, because we are leaving for tour soon. In about two weeks, but I'll get you special tickets for the Baltimore show that we'll have," he said.

"I love you Jack," I said.

"I love you too," he said, and I kissed him before standing up.

"I'm gonna take Jackie over to my mom's, because honestly... we need a night to ourselves," I said. Jack nodded and handed me my car keys, and I retreated to Jackie's room.

"Her bedtime is six-thirty-"

"Whose bedtime is what?" Elizabeth asked as she stuck her head out of the kitchen door in my mom's house.

"Seriously? You're here?" I asked.

"Oh shut up. I was here for mom when you weren't," she said. I shook my head and turned back to my mom who looked really fucking tired, and I felt bad to dump Jackie on her, but Jack and I needed some alone time.

"Anyway. As I was saying, Jackie's bedtime is six-thirty. If she gets bored, give her her coloring book. Do not let her watch television or play any video games, seriously. I'll see you tomorrow when I come and pick her up," I said, and I crouched down next to Jackie.

"You be a good girl for mommy, alright? I love you, Jackie. Have fun," I said, and I kissed her forehead. I stood up, glared at Elizabeth, and I left.

"Have good time, you fucking whore!" Elizabeth yelled.

"Hey!" I heard my mom say, and I closed the front door behind me.

Why was she such a bitch?
