Vinny & I were working the merch stand; him all smiley & bubbly; me somewhat upset.

I kept thinking about the previous night, & how stupid I felt after I couldn't tell Jack that I felt the same way as he did.

"Hey, you haven't said anything all day. What's up?" Vinny asked. I shrugged & handed a guy his change & his shirt. He thanked me & walked away.

"C'mon, tell me," Vinny begged. I shook my head & stared straight ahead, watching Vic Fuentes hug an excited fan. He noticed me & waved.

"Ple-"

"No, Vinny! If I don't tell you the first time you ask, I'm not gonna tell you at all!" I said, raising my voice. I hadn't looked away from where Vic was, & he raised his eyebrows at me as the fan walked away. I turned to face Vinny, who was wide-eyed. I didn't say anything as I walked away from the tent, all the way back to the bus with tears falling down my cheeks.

As soon as I opened the door, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around & came face to face with Vic.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked. I wiped my face furiously & shook my head.

"I saw you explode at Vinny. Mind telling me what's upsetting you?" He asked.

"I'm not really... up for it," I said as Jack bounded up. Butterflies danced in my stomach at the sight of him.

"Hey guys. What are you talking about?" Jack asked. I looked up at him & smiled, despite the tears falling down my cheeks.

"Nothing, actually..." Vic said. He slapped Jack on the shoulder in a friendly way, & he left.

"You okay, Becca?" Jack asked. I sighed & sat down on the bus steps. I wiped my eyes and looked at the black makeup that was now on my hands. Jack knelt down in front of me & hooked his finger under my chin. He forced me to look up, & I stared at him.

"Wanna tell me what's bothering you, & why you're not working?" He asked.

"I... I blew up on Vinny," I said. Jack raised his eyebrows.

"He was bugging me about something.... something that I didn't want to talk about.." I trailed off, & I wiped more tears away.

"Was it about last night?" Jack asked quietly. I sighed & looked down. He took his hand back & waited.

"Yeah... it was," I said, my cheeks redenning.

"Do you want to talk about it now?" He asked.

"Please don't make me," I said with a sniff. Jack smiled softly & kissed my cheek. He helped me up & pulled me into a nice, tight hug. I smiled against his chest as butterflies swarmed around in my stomach again. He rocked me back and forth before stepping out of the embrace.

"Thanks Jacky. I kinda needed that," I said softly.

"Anytime you need a hug, you come to me, okay?" He asked. I smiled & nodded. He kissed my cheek again before walking away, & I could feel my face heat up. I brought my fingers up to my face, & I pressed them onto the spot where Jack's lips touched.

He was gonna be the death of me.
