"Take that you pussy!" I heard jack yell. I heard what probably was a foam noodle hit someone. I walked in and they all had confused looks. "I have a swimsuit on under guys geez." I laughed. Alex snuck up behind jack and hit him in the head with a noodle. They continued with fighting and I stripped down.
I sat down on the edge of the pool and stuck my feet in. "Well get in." zack said. "But my hair." I said shrugging my shoulders. Zack started wading over to me and I brought my feet in. "Zack please no." I said laughing. "Sorry." He said and he grabbed me by the waist and picked me up. "Why do you always have to man handle me?" I asked. "You're so tiny and you're like a toy that's why." He said while he put me in the water.
"Now for your hair." Zack said. "Za-"I got out before I felt someone tackle me into the water. "JACK" I screamed into the water. He kissed my cheek underwater and smiled. I stuck my arms out and he picked me up wedding style and we broke the surface. "I have my own transporter." I said with my arm around him.
"Glad to see your makeup showed up too." Rian said. I looked down at my cheeks and saw they were black. "I'm going to kill you jack." I said. He just put on his goofy smile and put me down. I put my face in the water and tried to rub all of the makeup off. "Am I good?" I asked. "Thank god there's no more clown. You started to scare me." Alex said. "You're so mean." I said pretending to cry.
"I want to do chicken fights." Zack said. "Zack you're going to kill us." I said looking at his arms. He just smiled and I rolled my eyes. "Zack s the referee." I said. Everyone laughed except for zack who put on a fake frown. "I want to be with jack." Alex said. Rian motioned for me to get on his shoulders and I did.
"Are you like 20 pounds?" Rian laughed. "Shut up." I said. "I'm 30." I laughed. Jack got on Alex's shoulders and zack got a shirt as a flag. "Okay ready, go!" zack said and flung the shirt in the water. Rian charged towards Alex I stuck my arms out. "Well hello there." Jack said as Rian forced me 2 inches away from jacks face. "Hello to you too." I laughed while wrestling jack.
"I'm not going down." Jack said with a smirk. "You wanna bet?" I asked. "No just beating you will be enough." He said laughing. I leaned in and pecked him on the lips really fast and he fell down. "I win." I said with a smile and looking down at jack. He winked at me and I rolled my eyes. Rian let me down and I walked over to jack. "Did I beat you too hard?" I joked. "Not at all." He said still smiling. "Why are you still smiling?" I laughed.
I couldn't help but smile along with him. We all continued with the chicken fights and it started getting late. I realized I blew the whole "I'll be back by dinner" thing. "I think I'm done for the day." Rian said getting out. "Me too." Alex said with zack following them. "We are going to go inside and play Xbox." Zack said as they wall went inside. "Zack got my shirt wet." I said with a frown. "Just take mine." Jack said handing me his JAGK shirt.
I put it over my toweled off body and slipped on my sweatpants. "Do you really want to go inside?" jack said lying down on his lounge chair. "Not really. You can actually see the stars tonight." I sad lying down next to him. "I'm getting bored with Xbox too." He said shivering. It had gotten pretty cold out and he didn't have a shirt on. "Here" I said lifting his arm and putting my head on his chest.
"How are you so warm?" he asked laughing. "Arizona does things to you." I said with a smile. "I'm glad you left there." Jack said. "Why?" I asked. "You're away from that douchebag and I missed you." He said I looked up and he looked down at me. "Thank you." I said smiling. "For what?" he laughed. "You are the only one that has said anything bad about him." I said smiling. Finally there was someone who hated him as much as me.
"You know I'll always think that." Jack said nervously. "Why?" I asked. He didn't answer. I propped myself up on my elbow and asked again. "Why?" I said. He didn't even look at me. I put my hand on the side of his face and turned his head. "Why?" I said softly. Jack leaned in and crashed his lips into mine.
I kissed him back and he smiled. I gave him one last kiss before we parted. "That's why." He said smiling. "Why didn't you just tell me?" I asked. "I couldn't." he said. "Because of the band." He finished. I looked down and smiled. "That was my reason too." I said. Jack and I couldn't be together though. "I'm leaving jack." I said. This felt exactly like three years ago.
~ I was over at jack's house and we were watching a movie. The movie had ended and we were lying down on his couch slowly falling asleep. "I want you to stay." Jack whined. "My parents might let me stay the night. They think you're gay." I laughed. "Why?" he said softly. "You're in a deep bromance with my brother." I laughed. Jack started playing with my long hair. "Well I'm not." He laughed.
"Jack I'm leaving." I said softly. "Why do you have to go so soon? I thought you were spending the night?" he asked. "No not tonight. In a month." I said. Summer was drawing to an end here in Baltimore and Tempe, Arizona awaited me. "Where?" he asked sitting up. "College." I said meeting his eyes.
"But all of our plans? "He said. "I know I'm sorry. I have to leave though." I said trying not to cry. I would never intentionally hurt jack. He was my best friend and I didn't want to leave him. They got signed last year to hopeless records and they were touring and making a new record. "You're the only thing I look forward too when I come home." He confessed. "Jack don't say that." I said letting a tear fall. I didn't want to leave him. Not now.
"Well its true Emily. I Love hanging out with you. I love you." He said. He wrapped his arms around me and held me. "I love you too jack." I said softly. I really hated that he only meant it as a friend. ~~
"I know." He said softly, snapping me out of my flashback. "I'll be back soon though." I said and he kissed my forehead. "Sing your heart out and give it everything you have." He said looking into my eyes. "I promise." I said smiling. "We still have 6 more days." Jack said as I rested my head on his chest, just listening to his heartbeat.
I shut my eyes and soon enough jack and I fell asleep outside, under the stars, with me in his arms. Most importantly, we were together.
