"One week until we go home!" was what Jack was yelling over & over as he bounded around the bus, his shirt sitting on the floor in front of me.

I smiled as Alex sat next to me, & he put his arm around my shoulders.

"You know, I'm proud of you," he said with a grin. I looked at him.

"I'm proud of me too. I've accomplished something this tour I'd never thought I'd ever do. It's crazy to think about, actually," I said, making Alex chuckle.

"Jack, shut the fuck up!" Flyzik yelled from the back lounge, making us all laugh as Jack stopped his running & yelling. Alex removed his arm from around my shoulders & I stood up & approached Jack.

"It was getting kind of annoying. We're all excited though," I said to him softly. He smiled & pecked my lips gently. I crouched down & grabbed his shirt, handing it to him afterwards. He slipped it on over his head & pulled me closer by my waist.

"You're beautiful, Becca," he said as he looked down at me, eyes a light shade of caramel brown. The light in the bus made them sparkle & I gazed into them with a smile on my face.

"Okay lovebirds. Guys, you've got four more shows this tour stretched out within seven days. Which means three days off; tomorrow, Wednesday, & Friday. That also means we're going to have to start packing up for the flight back to Baltimore, so we should do that early so we're not late," Matt said as he walked out of the back lounge & to the front.

The four guys groaned, making me chuckle.

"Oh c'mon guys, packing isn't that bad," I said.

"It's the Devil's way of saying 'hey, fuck you!'" Alex said, his middle finger flying free to no one in particular.

"You guys are ridiculous. I'll help you pack, Jacky," I said with a kiss to his cheek, & I returned to my spot on the couch next to Alex.

"Only him?" Alex complained.

I grinned, "only him." Alex scowled.

"Ri! Is Cassadee going to get here soon?" Matt asked Rian who was texting.

"Yeah. She'll be here for the concert soon. About five minutes," Rian replied, still staring at his phone.

"Oh I haven't talked to Cassadee in a while," I said.

Five minutes later, Cassadee waltzed through the bus door with a huge smile etched onto her face. Rian greeted her with a kiss, & Alex & I stood up, each giving her a warm welcome hug. Zack & Jack did the same, & we all found seats. Jack placed himself next to me, & I rested my head on his shoulder.

"So, anything new around here?" Cassadee asked.

"No not really," we all muttered our answers.

"With Jack & Alex around, there's bound to be something new that's happened," Cassadee said with a cocked eyebrow.

"Hey. I'm gonna go change into something more concert worthy," I told Jack quietly, who nodded, & I kissed his lips, smiling after I pulled away as butterflies danced in my stomach.

I walked back to my bunk & found my suitcase. I dug around in it, finding a pair of black skinny jeans, which I pulled on after slipping out of my basketball shorts. I couldn't find a clean shirt, so I ruffled around in Jack's suitcase, finding a clean black shirt with 'BONER' imprinted in red letters across the front. I smirked as I pulled it on. It was a little big, but not to the point where it was just hanging off of me.

I retreated back to the front lounge & sat back down next to Jack who looked me up & down.

"Wearing my shirt, huh?" He asked.

"You know it. I didn't have any clean ones," I said.

"Well, you look mighty fine in my clothes. I approve," Jack said with a wink, making me blush.

"Since when...?" Cassadee asked, & I turned to look at her. She was looking at Jack & me.

"About a week ago," I said with a shrug. Jack grabbed my hand & squeezed, making a smile crawl onto my face. I bit my lip & looked back to Jack, not prepared to have his lips on mine.

"Eager much?" I asked after he pulled away.

"Definitely," Jack replied.

"Alright! Let's get to the stage!" Matt yelled. The guys & Cassadee stood up, whereas Jack pulled me into his arms after standing up.

"I'll text you when Alex starts playing Remembering Sunday, & you can come down to the stage and watch," Jack said. I nodded, and he kissed me deeply before heading off the bus after the others. I turned to Vinny, & we both exited the bus as well, heading for the merch stand we set up earlier.

"You don't mind me leaving early, do you?" I asked in a quiet voice.

"Not at all," Vinny said with an unconvincing smile.

"You're such a liar, Vinny. What's up?" I asked. He sighed.

"It's just... I like that you go and watch Jack play and all that.. but I miss hanging out with you for the whole shift. When you leave it gets lonely," Vinny said. I had to suppress a small laugh.

"Vinny! You're one of my besties! But it's nice to also hang out with other people too. But I understand what you're getting at. You've left me hanging before," I said. Vinny shrugged.

"Anyway. We'll be seeing some fans, & when I leave, you won't be completely alone," I pointed out.

"True," Vinny said. He smiled as we arrived at the stand, & already there were kids lining up for merch.

"It'll be a busy night," I said.
