Barakat, Jack Barakat

Amy must have fallen asleep at some point as she woke up, cradled in Jack’s arms. She craned her neck, looking up at him. Still asleep. She rested her head on his chest as his soft breathing calmed her. She knew when he woke up, he was going to ask her about her dream, but she was hoping he wouldn’t mention it. She lay smiling at his relaxed form. He helped calm her down last night. She sat and cried into his chest as he ran his large hands through the ends of her blue strands of hair. He sat and calmed her by whispering sweet things to her about how much he loved her, how pretty she was, how he loved her new, bold hair. She was so lucky to have him, which is why her dream absolutely terrified her. The thought of telling Jack terrified her. What if he got offended? What if her dream came true and he still had feelings for Holly? Her head was spinning and she could feel the tears welling up again. She quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hands and decided to remove herself from Jack’s arms. As soon as she got out of the bed, she realised how much of a mistake it was. It was freezing and all she had on was her underwear. It was all that she could manage to gather up last night. She shivered as she picked up Jack’s t-shirt and pulled it over her head. She looked at the clock 9:34am. It was still early. Her and Cass didn’t have to catch their flight home till 8pm. She didn’t feel like exploring today though. She was hoping that her and Jack could spend the day on the bus, wrapped in blankets, watching movies and eating pizza till she had to pack. She sat down on the edge of the bed, looking over at Jack. His chest rising and falling slowly, his mouth hanging open ever so slightly and his hair messed about as his fringe fell onto his forehead. He was so mesmerising, she could stare at him all day, in a non creepy way, of course. She leaned over, placing a small kiss onto his open mouth before getting up to take a shower.

She stepped out of the shower, feeling a lot fresher. She pulled on her underwear and Jack’s t-shirt before she walked out of the bathroom to find her clothes from last night. She would definitely have to get changed when they made it back to the bus. She walked out of the bathroom looking over at Jack who was now sitting up in bed. She smiled nervously at him, hoping he wouldn’t bring last night up. She was relieved when he didn’t.
“Sleep well?” he smiled softly. She hummed in response, smiling at him.
“What time do you have to leave tonight?” he frowned. He didn’t want her to leave, but he knew she had to. There wasn’t long left on their tour, so they wouldn’t be apart for very long. She hadn’t even left Germany, yet he already couldn’t wait to get home to see her.
“Well our flight is at 8, so we’ll have to leave about 5” she said whilst picking up her clothing which was scattered about the room. Jack had now gotten out of bed and walked over to Amy.
“I don’t want you to leeaavvee” he pouted, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her head.
“I don’t want to leave either, but unfortunately, I have a job to get back to” she laughed.
“Besides, you’ll be back home in 9 days” she smiled, leaning up to give him a soft kiss. He groaned in response.
“Now get dressed. You must be freezing and I want to get back to the bus” she laughed, pushing him away. The pair got themselves dressed and tidied up the room before leaving to check out.
“Ah, this elevator brings back memories of last night” Jack smirked.
“Shush” Amy poked her tongue out at him.
“Speaking of last night…” he spoke, not sure of how to approach the subject.
“Please don’t, Jack” Amy whispered, looking at the floor.
“You can speak to me, Amy” Jack placed his hand on her shoulder.
“I know” she sighed.
“It’s just hard” she didn’t want to look at him.
“I just want to know why I was the one who caused your nightmare” he whispered, sounding slightly upset. The elevator came to a halt as they reached the lobby of the hotel. They checked out, and started the walk back to the bus. They both walked alongside each other, neither one speaking. It was an awkward silence. Normally Jack would immediately link their hands together, but this time he was hesitant.
They reached the bus, Jack holding the door open for Amy as she muttered a ‘thank you’.
“Hey hey heeeeeyyy” Alex greeted them. He pulled Amy into a hug.
“Giirrllll, you have to give me all the deets” he mocked, putting on his best girly voice. Amy laughed at his silliness.
“I’ll spill everything right after I get changed” she winked at Alex.
“Oooh, juicy!” he exclaimed. She walked off to find her bag. Pulling out a fresh set of clothes, she went into the bathroom to get changed. She felt so much fresher in her new change of clothes. She walked back into the lounge area to find Alex sprawled out on the couch as Jack sat playing some sort of game on the Xbox. Amy decided to take this opportunity to ease some of the tension between her and Jack by teasing him. She took a seat on Alex’s lap, speaking loud enough so Jack could hear her.
“So, you wanna know all the ins and outs from last night?” she smirked at Alex. Before he could even answer, she began to speak.
“Jack is amaaaaziiingg in bed!” she groaned.
“He knows how to please a woman. He knows exactly where to touch, when to touch, and how to touch. His fingers, oh god, his fingers. Those magical, long fingers” she groaned again, throwing her head back.
“Listen Amy, no offense, but I’m not sure I wanna hear all this” Alex made a noise of disgust.
“But I haven’t even gotten to the best part. He’s so skilled, Alex. That tongue of his, god it works wonders”
“Okaaayyy, I think he’s heard enough” Jack stood, pulling Amy up off of Alex’s lap.
“Thank Christ!” Alex laughed as Amy began giggling.
“I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help it” she laughed.
“Listen, save that talk for when I get home” Jack smirked at Amy.
“Guys, can we not talk about your sex lives in front of everyone!” Cass said, walking in. Zack and Rian were behind her, pulling disgusted faces. Amy smirked, grabbing Jack’s collar and pulling him in for a needy kiss. It quickly turned into a hot make out session as Amy was now clinging to Jack with her legs wrapped around his waist.
“MY EYES ARE BURNING” Alex yelled. The pair laughed as Jack placed Amy back on the ground.
“Can we just watch films for the next few hours?” Amy asked, looking up at Jack.
“Whatever you want” he smiled.
“Guys, clear out!” she shouted at everyone in the lounge. They all groaned, but reluctantly made their way to their bunks. Amy popped a DVD into the TV as Jack retrieved some blankets from the bunks. Amy snuggled up next to Jack as the film started playing.
“Amyyyy”
“Amy…”
“Amy” she felt someone shaking her shoulder. She opened her eyes to see Jack. She looked down and noticed that she was sprawled out across Jack’s lap. He laughed at her.
“You fell asleep half way through the film! I thought I’d wake you because it 4:15 and you need to get all your stuff together. Matt has arranged a cab to pick you up at 5” he smiled. She pouted at him.
“I’m sorry I fell asleep. Come and talk to me while I pack my stuff away” she stood up, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the bunks. He sat down on his bunk while Amy gathered all of her belongings and began to sort them into her bag.
“I can’t wait to go home” Jack spoke up.
“I know, but you have fans to perform for. Think about home when you finish your last show” she smiled. She placed the last thing into her bag, checking that she had her passport and boarding pass, before zipping it up. She sat down next to Jack in his bunk, resting her head on his shoulder. He placed a kiss on the top of her head.
“Don’t miss me too much” he chuckled.
“I’m not going to force you, but when I get home, I think you and I need to have a chat about your dream last night. I’ve never seen you so upset. The last time you were this upset was when Hol- never mind” he sighed.
“Please promise me, that you’ll tell me about it. It doesn’t have to be straight away, hell it could be next year, just please?” he looked at her with sad eyes. She was terrified to talk to him about it, but it would only continue to eat away at her if she didn’t. She would eventually have to tell him.
“I promise” she smiled. He pulled her into a kiss and immediately, she forgot about the dream altogether. All she could think about was Jack and how much she loved him.

The next 2 hours seemed to go so fast. Amy and Cass stood in the airport, saying their goodbyes once again. However, this time it was only Jack, Rian and Matt who they were saying goodbye to.
“You call me as soon as you step foot in that apartment” Jack reminded her.
“Yes mother” she playfully rolled her eyes.
“You stay safe, okay?” she looked at him, smiling.
“You know I always do” he winked, before giving her a gentle kiss.
“Come on Amy, we need to get going” Cass said, dragging on her arm.
“Okay, okay. I love you” she called to Jack as she was dragged away by Cass.
She already couldn’t wait to have him home.
