Alex’s P.O.V.

Shit its bright I opened my eyes looking around alright I’m in my bunk I know I didn’t drink too much, but I know Zack did so did Rian, and shockingly Cass. I opened my curtain to see it was shockingly really bright for being in England in February. I got up headed to the bathroom to do my morning routine before heading to the front lounge seeing everyone, but Jack. Wonder where he could be? “Look who’s finally up?” Matt yelled. “Shh my head hurts.” Cass said holding her head leaning on rain with a coffee in the other. “Drink a little too much Cass.” I said laughing. “I hardly remember anything besides dancing with the twins both sets doing body shots that’s all I remember.” She said. “Yea it was an interesting night anyone seen Jack?” Matt said. “Wait he never came back?” “Nope he said he was going to talk to someone he’s be a bit late to the bus if not he’s make sure he got a ride with SC or CML. I’ll call him in a bit I know he caught one of the buses he texted me he was staying on one of the busses.” He finished. “Umm well let’s find Shy ask her because I want to know what I did since none of you will tell me. I’ll be ready in 15” Cass said getting up to get changed. Once Cass returned I decided that I may have a clue where he might be, but I can only hope I am wrong. “I may know where he is guys, but I am hoping I am seriously wrong tho, but If we find Shy I will know for sure anyone got her number?” I said praying Jack isn’t where I think he is.

“I got it.” Zack said. “Same.” Cass said. “both of you text her please.” “Done” Cass told me. A few minutes passed when we got a reply. “She’s on CML’s bus she fell asleep on Brandon in the front lounge. Mercedes found her cell lets go talk to her because she told me she was going to wake them both up” Cass said getting up.

“Shy.” Zack called walking into the bus. “Ugh Zack why are you so loud.” She whined from the couch where she was sprawled out holding her hand on the bridge of her nose. “Hey Shy.” Cass said pulling her head up laying it on her lap. “How you feeling girly you even remember last night?” Shy asked. “Not really, and they won’t tell me” Cass pouted. “Well nothing past dancing dirty with us body shot’s making out with your dear boyfriend then telling us you’ll see us later dragging Rian off around when Shay disappeared.” Shy told Cass. “You seen Jack anywhere?” I asked not really wanting the answer. “Alex do you even have to ask where he is?” She said knowing well what I was doing. “What does she mean?” Rian said looking at me. “Umm well its nothing major, but I have a clue since you know everything.” I said scratching the back of my neck. “Wait… oh no! you don’t think.. he’s where I think he may be I know he’s in a girls bed, but you think?” Cass said knowing well what’s going on now. “Umm well then.” Rian said. “Mind cluing me oh fuck they didn’t.” Zack said finally cluing in finally. “Shy do you know anything I mean you are her twin?” I said. “I’m not sure I don’t remember anything after you two leaving.” She said pointing to Cass, and Rian. “Well you guys coming to find him because that’s the last place I am looking.” I said. “I’m staying in here with Shy I am too dead to move anymore which is sad.” Cass said leaning back. “I’ll go because I want to finally bust them.” Zack said smiling at me. “Wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen Jack and a girl.” Rian said. “Matt you coming with?” I asked. “Not a chance I don’t need to be any further disturbed than I am by all that I’ve seen from you four.” He said sitting down with Cass, and Shy. “Alright should we just go there since we all think he did because Shay was both high , and beyond hammered when she left.” Rian said. “I guess, but are you sure we want to” Zack said. “Just go let me be in peace” Shy whined. “Later Shy see you tonight at the last show” Zack said hugging her.

I turned on my heel walking fast please don’t let this be what Shay meant by finally manning up and ending this.
“Dude slow down.” Rian said. “Seriously what is the big deal?” Zack asked. “You guys don’t want to know really I wish I didn’t have an idea where he was its more settling than this.” I said panicked climbing on to Shay’s bus heading straight for her bunk ignoring the hey’s from everyone “Dude stop” Rian grabbed me. I shrugged him off he doesn’t know how bad this is really none of them besides Shy or maybe Juliet know. I got to the bunk area door sliding it open seeing clothes on the floor noticing Jack’s stuff form yesterday shit. I put my hand on my face shaking my head turing around walking past the guys headed back to the bus I got up the steps seeing Matt back “He’s there he’s with Shay” I said walking right past him through the bunks to the back lounge slamming the door. Fuck that’s what she was planning just to have sex than walk away, and he fell for it. God damn it Shay couldn’t you have just walked away this is gonna fuck him up bad he was drunk last night from what I remember. Hell she was fucking wasted just fuck.


Jack’s P.O.V.

I felt something wrapped in my arms looking down I saw a mess of bluish white hair leaning into my chest Shay. I looked around seeing us under her blankets with her favorite Domo blanket on us. I looked down to see her hair severely knotted, and a few hickies on her neck with her red bandana behind her. As last night’s memories flooded my head oh shit was I really that rough with her again. I kept looking down at the beautiful, but broken girl in my arms heavy breathing. I reached out of the bunk since I am on the inside reaching for my jeans grabbing my phone to see a 14 missed texts and 8 calls. 5 texts and 3 from Alex, 3 texts 1 call from Cass, 4 texts 3 calls from Matt, 1 from Zack, and 1 text, and call from Rian. I opened Alex’s first.

To Rian: 11:25
Hey yea umm shit happen’s right man like we knew it was going to happen you, and Zack even told me it probably would next time we saw each other, me and her agreed we should just get it out of our systems then go our separate ways don’t mean I don’t love her just means I guess we weren’t meant she suggested it, and it escalated to what Alex I guess saw anyways man I’m gonna wake Shay up then come back. See you in a while.

I looked down still fast asleep this is going to be a memory to remember for a long time. I pulled up my camera leaning my head on hers moving the camera behind her so it didn’t get her face fully, but I’d always know its her I snapped the picture then another with me kissing her forehead. At least I’ll have these I don’t want to do what she is asking us to do, but if it will make her happy then I guess I will have to. I put my phone down behind me deciding I need to wake her up I’m not just going to leave her alone. “Shay wake up?” I said in her ear. “Go away I’m sleeping.” She mumbled into my chest. “Come on Shay we have to get up its like 11:30.” I said. “Go away Jack.” She said. “Wait Jack.” She said lifting her head. “Hi there sleepy” I said smiling at her mix of bed head, and sex hair with her makeup making her look like a raccoon. “Hi I kinda thought you’d end up leaving before I got up.” She said looking at me with something unreadable in her amazing Grayish, Turquoise, and purple flicked eyes. She looked almost confused. “No I didn’t want to because I have to ask if what you said last night. Do you really want to do that Shay?” I said looking at her sadly remember if it will make her happy. “Jack its really what I want after tonight. We need to move on alright?” she said sounding strong, but her eyes telling me she wants otherwise. She pulled away grabbing her Domo blanket crawling out of the bunk wrapping it around her before walking to her suitcase to grab her clothes. I sat up seeing my boxers below me I grabbed them pulling them on before getting my clothes back on before slipping on my shoes. “Shay” I walked up behind her wrapping my arms around her shoulders kissing her head before walking away. “see you at the show” I called out leaving her bus.
