Time-Bomb
"Would you take me home?"
Dawn’s POV
I looked around for Jack as I said hi to all my fans. You would think that someone 6’1 ½” would be easy to spot. However, I hadn’t seen him at all since he got off the stage. Where the hell could he be?
“Boo!” I jumped a little and turned around to find Jack standing there with his right hand behind his back.
I grabbed my chest dramatically. “You almost gave me a heart attack.” Then I smiled. “Almost.”
“Will this make you feel better?” He moved his hand from behind his back to reveal a bouquet of Lily of the Valleys and Cherry Blossoms.
“I can’t believe you got me my favorite flowers!”
“I had to order them in advance. It was so worth it. The look on your face is priceless.”
My smile was probably the biggest that I’ve ever had. “Now I feel bad because I didn’t get you anything.”
“You didn’t?” He looked really down. Was I supposed to get him something? “I thought that you might remember because I did.”
“Remember what?”
Now, he wasn’t just down. He was hurt. “Today’s the anniversary of the first day we met.”
“It is? I never kept track of that. Actually, the only thing that I kept track of was when we first started dating. I’m not one to remember dates. I’m really sorry. When we reach our next stop, I’ll get you something you will absolutely love or I’ll make you something from the heart or…”
“You better mark this on your calendar.” He was smirking.“September 30th, we had our first date. October 4th, we had our first kiss. October 8th was the first time that we sang and played together. October 18th was when we met each other’s parents. October 20th, your birthday, was the day that I bought you that plushie. December 25th was the first time that we made love.”
“I can’t believe you remembered all of that.” I was completely shocked.
“It makes me feel like I’m the girl in the relationship.” He laughed.
“Maybe you are because I’m telling you to lean that lanky body down and give me a kiss.” He did as I said and gently kissed my lips. When he slid his tongue on my bottom lip, I pulled away. He looked confused. “That’s for tonight.” I winked.
“Hey, Dawn,” a voice from behind me said. I turned around to find Mandy.
“Hey, what’s up?”
“I’d like you to meet my friend and my boyfriend. This is Danielle, and this is Brian.”
Danielle had long black hair and light blue eyes that were covered with black framed glasses. She was probably about 5’6” and average weight. Brian had dark green hair that well into his eyes which looked brown. He was about 5’9”.
“Hey,” they both said.
“Dawn! Dawn! Dawn!” Leanna yelled as she ran over to me. “I made a huge mistake by joining Britt’s band. She’s such a bitch.”
“You just now realized that?” I asked.
“You got to help me. I can’t just quit. We would need a band to fill in for us, and I don’t want to ruin this opportunity!”
“It’d be cool if you could join our band, and we could play,” Mandy said. “Too bad that that would never happen.”
“You have a band?” Leanna asked. Mandy nodded. “Please let me join. I can’t take it anymore.”
“Sure. We can always use another guitarist. It is just the three of us anyway. Four is a better number.”
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’m going to call my manager now.” She ran off with her phone in hand.
“Looks like you’ll be staying longer than you thought. Is your parents ok with that?”
“They’ll be fine with it,” Mandy assured me. “They practically let me do whatever I want. Besides, I have Brian and Danielle, and Danielle is 18.”
“That’s good.”
Jack put his hand on my waist. “Do you mind if I take her from you?”
“Not at all.”
Jack started to pull me away from the fans. “Jack, the meet and greet isn’t over yet.”
“I know.”
He continued to pull me away until we were finally out of view. He then leaned down and put his lips to mine. It was very innocent until I licked his bottom lip and nibbled on it. He moaned, but he didn’t open. Instead, he pulled away this time.
“Baby, would you take me home?” he sung in my ear.
I bit my lip before grabbing his wrist and pulling him even more away and over to my bus. I pushed his against it and mashed my lips to his for about a minute before pulling him into the bus and over to my bunk. A smile was plastered on my face. I got into my bunk with him following behind. With the curtain now closed, he started to kiss up and down my neck. I moaned when he bit down on that one spot.
“I’d don’t want to fuck you,” he said as he continued to leave opened mouth kisses around that area.
“You don’t?” I didn’t understand, but I felt a little hurt.
He shook his head. “I want to make love to you like we used to.” He gently kissed me on my cheeks, my forehead, my nose, and then my lips. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” He lifted himself off me and started to look through my stuff. “What are you looking for?”
“Condoms. Didn’t I leave one in here just in case I forgot to grab one and we had sex in you bunk?”
“We used that one last night.”
“Shit.”
“Just don’t use one.”
“But what if…”
“Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine, and even if that happened, I’d still be fine because it would be yours.”
“Ok, if you’re sure.”
“I’m sure. Just hurry up and give me another kiss.”
He smiled and kissed me sweetly. “I’m going to make this a night to remember.”
“Every night is a night to remember when it’s you.”
I woke up the next morning to find that Jack was still asleep. My clock read 4:30. I carefully unwrapped myself from his grip, put on my underwear and his shirt on, and got out of the bunk. Before heading to the bathroom, I grabbed my calligraphy pen. When I was finally in ready, I ran the metal across my skin repeatedly. I don’t think I’ll ever understand why this makes me feel better even when I have everything I could ever want, but it does.
After cleaning myself up, I made my way back over to the bunk and climbed in. Jack rubbed his eyes and grabbed his glasses that were left with the rest of my stuff from the other night. He smiled when he could finally see my face clearly. I noticed he frowned a little when he saw the rubber bracelets on my arms.
“What are you doing up?” he asked.
“I had to go to the bathroom.” I couldn’t tell him the real reason.
It looked like he wasn’t buying it. He sighed and put his glasses back where they were. “Ok. Now let’s go back to bed. We have another long day ahead.”
“Yeah.”
I put my back to his chest, and he wrapped his arms around me. I felt so safe in his arms. Why am I still harming myself when I have him? I guess the questioning didn’t matter because the guilt was more overpowering. I was lying to the love of my life.

Oh thanks! It's been forever since I've gotten comments or anything.
And I'm happy you like this one. It's not favorite, but it's forever there for me since it was my first ATL fic.
Oh and Idon't know if you've started the prequel but I got really stuck on it, but I have thought of just putting up all the info that wasn't explained. Ex. Why they hate Brittany so much
Anyway, thanks! :)
