Jack's POV

"Dude! Where ya been?" Nate shouted as we boarded the bus.

"I was uh… I was with Alicia." I mumbled

"Are you guys serious? I mean… It seems like you really care about her."

"I do, Nate… I do."

"That's cool… Just don't do anything... stupid. She's a fan, so she knows her way around the message boards." Nate laughed lightly.

I pulled my phone out as I walked to my bunk. It was only 9:45… Early-ish, but late enough to go to bed. I opened up my suitcase and picked up an unfamiliar blue t-shirt and a note fell out.

Hey Jack.

This is one of my t-shirts… duh. I figured we could trade. Your Ramones shirt for my dinosaur shirt.

I looked down at the shirt again and it indeed had a dinosaur on it.

So, you're on tour right now… I don't know what to say about that, but I know I miss you. Two weeks, though, right? Hm…. I love you.

I have a pretty great girlfriend.

I picked up my phone again and dialed Alicia's number.

"Hello?" she answered

"Hey babe." I smiled putting the phone onto my shoulder.

"Hey! How's it goin so far?" She asked sweetly.

"Ya know… Just unpacking…"

"Hm.. sounds like a lot of fun." She said sarcastically.

"Well… It could be. Unfortunately I don't have a certain Alicia with me." I smiled wider.

"You perv…"

"What do ya mean?" I said feigning pain.

"You're a pedophile, Jack."

"Am not!"

"Am so!"

"Do you want to keep dating me?" I laughed into the phone.

"Yeah. I do. But we can't tell the press for another few months."

I guess she heard my confused look through the phone, because she continued quickly.

"I'm still 17. In 3 months I turn 18."

"You seriously are making feel bad and pedophile-ish…"

"I'm sorry… If I was there with you I'd be able to make sure that feeling went away."

"And not like that, I'm staying pure until I'm married." She added right as my mind began to wander.

After about 20 more minutes of conversation Andrew ran into my bunk.

"Jack." He said. I pointed to the phone.

"Jack." He said again.

"Hold on a second, Leesh. Andrew is being weird." I pulled the phone away from my ear and looked at him.

"Can I talk to her?" he asked

"But you have her number…" I said confused

"Pleeeeeaaaaaaaasssse?" he begged

"Fine," I said holding the phone up again. "Hey? Leesh? Andrew wants to talk to you for a second."

He started to walk away when I grabbed his arm and made the you stay here motion.

He sighed and then plopped down like a teenage girl.

"Why haven't you answered my text?" He huffed

Oh my g-

"I've sent you two in the last hour!" Andrew whined again.

"Okay… Okay. Yeah that's cool. Kay… Here's Jack." He said and walked away seemingly normal again.

"Huh… That was impressive…." I laughed into the phone.

"I have a gift…." She giggled.

"Where are you?" I asked

"And I'm so sorry.." she sang a little

"I cannot dream"

"I cannot sleep tonight.."

"I miss you, I miss you…" We sang together

Our conversations continued like that for the next week and a half. After that point, they were all filled with 'I miss you', and 'I can't wait to see you', and songs we had heard, or anything to get our mind of not being together.

Two weeks couldn't come sooner….
