I was still on Jack when I woke up and I snuggled into him before I got up. I walked into the kitchen and cleaned up the mess from yesterday. I changed quick before going back into the living room and waking Jack up.

He groaned, "Noo." I laughed when he wrapped his arms around my legs and almost and I caught myself on the back of the couch.

"Jack, come on. You have to go to the studio today."

He sighed before sitting up and I pulled him up to his feet. "Go get changed."

He groaned again while he walked down the hallway and into our room. I waited for him and grabbed my phone and sunglasses. Alex told me to wear them because I might get mauled by crazy Californian fans.

Jack walked out in skinny jeans and a t-shirt like he always did. We both slipped on our sneakers and headed out the door.

"Where are we supposed to get the car?" I asked when we stepped outside.

Jack shrugged and pulled out his phone.

A couple minutes later, he put his phone away and turned to me. "They're dropping it off here right now."

I nodded and waited a couple more minutes before a shiny new blue car pulled up in front of us.

Jack said thanks to the guy and we got in, heading towards coffee to wake both of us up more.

We walked out with our coffees and got back into the car toward the studio. I was excited to see what it looked like and everything. Alex never took picture or anything like that.

I grabbed Jacks hand when we headed into the building. It was big but not huge. We walked into the lobby and I took my sunglasses off like Jack did and he walked me down a hall and into another hall with a bunch of doors. He opened the last one on the left and pushed it open.

It was a decent sized room with two long couches and a table in the middle with a soundboard in front of a window and next to another door.

I saw Keith sitting down with another guy and he got up to hug me.

"Good to see you again Layla," he smiled.

"Nice seeing you too."

I sat down on the couch and Jack talked with the other guy and Keith.

The rest of the boys came out and Alex came over and sat next to me.

"How are the songs coming?" I asked.

"We actually just finished the last one."

"Alex, that's great!" I hugged him.

"Thanks sis," he smiled.

Jack came over and sat on my lap. I groaned a little because he was a little heavy since I was smaller than him. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he held my hands in his.

They talked for hours. I didn't know what they were saying but they were excited.

"What?"

"Are you excited?" Alex asked me again.

"About what?" I creased my eyebrows.

"About tour."

"Wait, what? When are you going on tour?" I was so confused. That must have been what they were talking about.

"In a month? Weren't you listening?"

"Not really. But that's great!" I laughed.

"You'll have a great time, maybe you could sing one of the new songs with me."

I glared at him, "No."

"Why not?" Jack whined.

"Because all of you know that my anxiety is really bad and I'm not singing on stage in front of a thousand people with you. I'm sorry but just, not me. Get someone else."

"Hey, maybe Cassadee will do it." Zack suggested.

Alex looked at him with a wide smile and turned to Rian.

"Would you like that Rian?" Alex teased.

"Shut the hell up."

I laughed at Rian. "Maybe you guys could spend more time together," I winked.

"I hate all of you." Rian walked to the door.

"We love you!"

He walked out and I laughed.

The boys got Rian back and we all decided to have a celebration dinner.

--

The dinner was good and the guys drank a little but I didn't drink anything. I started thinking about me not drinking anymore but I couldn't make a decision.

"Guess we'll have to go grocery shopping tomorrow." I said to Jack when we got back to our apartment.

"Alright." Jack wasn't to drunk like he always was when he drank, but he was close to slurring his words.

He took my hand and led me to the bedroom, "Sleepy time."

I smiled and changed into my pajamas before getting in bed. He took off his clothes, leaving his boxers on. He slipped into bed and wrapped his arms around me.

"Did I tell you I missed you?" He looked at me and I smiled, playing with his hair.

I shook my head. "Well I did, so much. And..."

"What?"

"And.. I don't..want to be away from you again. It was torture. I don't want to lose you, ever."

I smiled and he leaned down and placed his lips on mine. I smiled against him before he pulled away. "You're the greatest thing that's happened to me, Layla."

I smiled again and snuggled into his chest before closing my eyes and falling asleep.
