Jack Barakat Imagines
Surprise!
Your POV
I haven’t seen Jack in like a couple months. I miss him so much, and even though we text all the time and we FaceTime whenever we can, I still miss his touch. He keeps me safe. I miss him like crazy.
Whenever he’s away, I feel sadder. Like a part of me is gone. He’s gone a lot, and when we talk, it’s okay again, but when he leaves, it’s back. The sadness. And that’s the hardest part of having a significant other all the way across the world. I wonder how people hold up when they have them. It must suck.
I was expecting a call from Jack around now. Waiting for him to FaceTime me. As he always did on days like these. He had a day off, and even though he loved to go have fun, his one concern was whether or not I was okay. And that was enough to make me smile.
I had an incoming call from Jack’s phone so I answered it, assuming that my favorite black and blonde string bean was going to be on the other side. I assumed wrong.
“Y/N!” Alex’s voice comes from where they were.
“Alex!” I call back into the phone smiling. I love seeing Jack but it’s always nice seeing his best buddy right here. “Where’s Jack?”
“We stole his phone and Zack’s guarding the door right now. Wave hello Zack!” Alex points the phone over to where Zack is and he gives me a little wave before he continues pushing against the door.
“So Jack’s trying to get in, huh?”
“Yep, that’s him, here try to see if you can hear him.”
“Alex! I swear to fucking god, if you-” I heard Jack’s voice but Alex cut him off.
“It’s pretty cute, Y/N. He talks about you all the time, looks at pictures of you before he sleeps, oh he’s got an entire album on his phone dedicated to you.”
I smile at his gesture. Alex is right, that is pretty fucking adorable.
“But that’s not all!” He gives me a cheeky smile, and I notice that Rian is peering over his shoulder. “Not only does the album include pictures you send him of yourself, it also includes pictures that make him think of you.”
“That’s really sweet.” I giggle at this new information.
“Alex!” I hear Jack call.
“Alright, that’s enough embarrassing our home boy for now, wouldn’t you say Rian?” Rian nods his head and gives me a smirk.
“He tells me he misses you a lot,” Rian adds.
“Ah yes, every morning. And every time he’s drunk.” Alex laughs for a minute. “Always walking around mopey whining about why you aren’t here. It’s pretty cute. Also a bit sickening, but I’ve grown to live with it.”
“Is that so?” I inquire.
“Sure is! Alright Zack, you can let the beast out of its cage!” I watch as Zack lets go of the door and it swing open to reveal a fuming Jack. I giggle at the sight, but I assume that it was the wrong move.
“Fuck you guys! Get out of here!”
“Good luck Y/N!” Alex calls to me and then runs out of the room before Jack can kill him.
“Fucking assholes,” Jack seethes. “Anyway, how’re you.” I giggle at Jack’s attempt to lighten the mood.
“I’m good. Apparently a certain someone misses me.”
“Sure do,” he gives me a cute little smile and I giggle again. All this giggling I feel like I’m frikkin’ 14.
“Jack! There’s pizza!” a voice calls out. I’m assuming it’s Alex.
“Oooh, pizza. All that pounding on the door has worked up an appetite. Speaking of which, what exactly did they tell you?”
I chewed on my nail, contemplating how I’d tell him that they told me everything he was thinking about me while with them. Which honestly made me smile and meant he was missing me just as much as I was missing him. I couldn’t help the grin on my face when I lied trying to cover up his little secret. “Uh, nothing.”
“You liar,” he grinned at me. “You’re smiling. I know that means you’re hiding something. Come on, what did they tell you?”
I sighed. To tell him or not to tell him. I’m telling him. “They told me about your phone. You know, the album? And when you mope around about missing me.”
His face turned bright red. “Holy shit, they did not. None of that is true!”
“Jack, it’s written all over your face!” I laughed and he hid his face and pointed the phone to the ceiling. “You can stare at that ceiling while I go have pizza. Think about what you’ve done, missy.”
“Me?! Excuse me, but who was the one who couldn’t get through the door? I have done nothing wrong here. If anything, I deserve the pizza more than you.”
“Hey! You try getting past that door when Zack the wrecking ball is in the way.”
“Don’t put this on Zack, he was defending Alex from getting the shit beat out of him.” Jack laughed, and I saw his face crinkle up at the corner of his eyes. Meaning that this was genuine. That he really did love me. I sighed again. “Jack, I miss you.”
“I miss you too, babe. I promise I’ll be home soon. It’s just a little bit longer. And then I can come home and hug you and kiss you all day until you feel better.”
My eyes felt like they were getting hot with tears. I struggled to keep them from falling, but I don’t know how well that was working. “It’s not a little bit longer, it’s months, Jack.”
“Jack!” the voice called again. “Come get pizza or we’re going to eat it all.”
“I promise I’ll be with you soon, baby. I promise. Cross my heart, right?”
I nodded and wished I could just kiss him. “You should go,” I whispered. “You gotta eat, right?”
“I don’t want to go, I’d give up pizza for you.”
“No you wouldn’t, now go.” I gave him my best smile and let him go on his way.
He blew me a kiss before he said, “I do love you more than pizza. Bye Y/N, love you!”
“Bye Jack,” I whispered. He ended the call and I was left alone. I started surfing around to see if I could get any good deals to go where he is. If I could just see him again, I’d be happy. That stupid grin that I’ve learned to love, I need to see it again. So I did what I said, and I booked a flight.
Jack’s POV
It was midnight on the bus when we came back from our show. It usually ended around 10 or 11 or so, but me and the guys like to stick around and sign things for fans. It always puts a smile on my face to see how happy they are to meet us.
I almost thought about turning in for the night when Alex put on Adventure Time. My all time favorite show. I’m not missing this.
We sat watching in silence for a little bit until I heard a knock on our door. Who could that be? It’s most likely not a fan. I mean, I know we have crazy fans in Europe, but one wouldn’t sneak past security would they? The knock came again, and I didn’t want to get up.
“Alex, you get it,” I whined at him. He rolled his eyes, but obliged. I sat happily eating my snacks.
“Uh Jack?” Alex called from the front of the bus. “You might want to come see this.”
“Alex! I’m confortable!”
“Get your ass over here!”
I groaned but got up anyway to see what the big deal was. I wrapped the blanket around my body and wandered over to Alex.
“What’s the big problem, jeez.” I stopped dead in my tracks when I looked out the door. “Y/N,” I mumbled in surprise.
“I’ll just leave you two alone,” Alex grinned.
“What’re you doing here?” I asked her, my tone hushed.
“I came to see you, Jacky. Don’t you want to see me?”
“Of course I do!” I picked her up and my blanket fell down in the process, spinning her around. “I missed you so fucking much.” I held her in my arms and refused to let her go.
She giggles her adorable fuckin giggle and hugs me around my neck as I pull her waist close to me. “So I’ve heard,” she says in my neck.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” She grins at me, and I kiss her on the lips. It was everything how I remembered. It always is. Except this one is better. Maybe it’s because she flew halfway across the world to see me, or because I missed her like crazy, but this kiss wins against any other kiss I’ve ever shared in my entire life. And that includes Alex’s.
