*Zjael's POV*

"I'll show you that doesn't matter." A voice said then I felt someone kiss my temple and drop my hand. Could it be? How would he find me? Where am I?

"Jack?" I asked hoping to get answers. I opened my eyes, but quickly closed them due to bright lights.

"Zjael." Said the voice happily as I blinked till I could see. It really was Jack.

"Where am I? How do you find me?" I asked frantically. I felt something different with my arms and looked down to see that all my cuts were stitched closed and there were tubes in my arms. I must be at the hospital. "Why am I here?" I asked freaking out. Jack softly kissed my hand and made me look into his calm eyes.

"Shh, shh, shh. You need to stay calm, Z. I'll explain everything when you're calm." Jack said in the calmest voice I've heard in years. I focused on his calm eyes and slowed my breathing till I was calm.

"Okay...I'm calm. Now, please tell me what's going on." I said slowly. Jack nodded.

"You got about 60 stitches in each arm. They want to keep you here on suicide watch. I didn't find you, you found me." Jack said.

"No! They can't keep me on suicide watch!" I exclaimed. Jack stayed calm.

"I know, Z, and you can't go back to your moms. I won't let you." Jack said clearly serious.

"Then what the hell are you gonna do?!" I asked him harshly. I didn't mean to be harsh, but there would be no way to get me out of here if they want to keep me on suicide watch.

"My tour manager is working on it." Jack said as a guy around our age came walking into the room.

"It's all good." The guy said with a big smile. He looked at me, then back at Jack." I see she's awake. You wanna, uh, introduce us?"

"Right. Um, Zjael, this is my tour manager, Matt. Matt, this is Zjael." Jack said. He seemed like he didn't know what to say.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Zjael. I'm also pleased to announce, they're allowing you to leave tomorrow." Matt said.

"Really?!" Jack asked excitedly.

"Hell yeah! You want the guys to come in and meet her?" Matt asked and Jack looked to me.

"That's up to you. Do you wanna meet the rest of the band now or later?" Jack asked. I started to think of what I must look like right now.

"N-No. Not looking like this. I can't even imagine what I must look like." I said.

"Looking passed the black eyes, you honestly look insanely beautiful." Matt said and I could feel myself start to blush.

"Alex and Zack have already seen you. They were there while waiting for the ambulance to get you." Jack said. I blushed at him. "If anything, please just meet Alex tonight? You'll be travelling with me and him tomorrow."

"Okay, fine. But only Alex." I said in defeat. I was done fighting and arguing. Plus, I couldn't really fight when I really do need to get away from my mom and Dick.

"Also, we're gonna leave you here with Matt while I lead the guys to that abandoned house and pick up as much of your stuff as we can. Alex and I will be back tonight, though." Jack said as Matt left the room, more than likely to get Alex.

"Okay." I said emotionless. I lost all the energy in my body. Jack slowly stood up.

"Z, I need you to know that even though we've barely talked, I've thought of you every day. I've slowly fallen in love with you and our friendship through the years. I promised I'd wait and I did. I'll still wait till whenever you're ready." Jack said then leaned forward. Is he going to kiss me? I quickly turned my head and he kissed my cheek.

"Jack, don't." I said quietly as Matt walked in with another guy.

"Z, this is Alex. Alex, this is Zjael." Jack said awkwardly.

"It's nice to finally meet the beautiful girl has been telling me about for years." Alex said. I could feel myself start blushing again.

"I normally look a little better than this. I don't even actually know how I look." I said awkwardly.

"Here." Alex said then pulled out his phone. I knew he was taking a picture. "Don't worry, I'll delete it once you see it." Alex said and walked up to me and showed me the picture.

"Damn, I look like shit!" I said and noticed Jack looked upset. I just ignored it.

"Well, if you normally look better than this, Jack may have some competition." Alex joked as he hopefully deleted the picture. I could feel my blush worsen as Jack punched Alex's arm. "I was joking, man. Besides, I still have Lisa and I don't wanna fuck that up. I do plan on marrying her next year." Alex said chuckling.

"You guys ready to get her things?" Matt asked changing the subject. Alex and Jack nodded, but neither moved.

"We'll be back." Alex said with a small smile before leaving.

"Everything will be okay. Just remember what I said." Jack said before leaving.

"I'll be right outside the door. If you need me, just call my name." Matt said, but I didn't want him to leave.

"Matt, wait." I said and he looked to me.

"Yeah?"

"I-I don't wanna be alone in here. Will you stay in here? We can just talk. I might as well get to know you.....but will you tell me about Jack too? I haven't exactly talked to him for the past 15 years. Will you please tell me about him and the band and yourself? Just anything I need to know?" Matt looked shocked for a minute before nodding and coming to sit in one of the chairs beside my bed.

"Where should I start with Jack?" He asked softly.

"How about when you and him first met and became friends/" i suggested unsure and he nodded with a smile.

"Alright, soo..." Matt started off. I listened to his every word and took in all the information he was giving me.
