A/N: Hey everybody, I'm back! Sorry I haven't updated or uploaded in a while. I did upload a new chapter of The Life of Rockerbaby, which you can find in ORIGINALS-AUTHORS. Thanks for reviewing, everyone who did! Oh, and in this, Gabe comes on tour with the Molly Phillips band. =)
Tablynvan: Thank you for reviewing! I knew that the person who played Quint Carter was Matthew "Matt" Johnson and that Alexz Johnson is his sister. This wasn't really meant to be an episode, though. Thanks!
On to the story, Chapter Two of Behind Backs!
"Mom, I can't believe she'd do that!" Jack complained to his mom, Molly Phillips, after he had explained what had happened. "Jack, baby, she just liked Carey better. You'll get over it. Okay honey?" Molly said, hugging her son. "Do you want to help me choose an outfit for tonight's concert?" she asked him, trying to cheer him up. Jack shook his head. "No thanks mom, it'll be okay." he told her.

At the concert, which is at Hawk Head Point, a diner.
***************************************************************
"She lives in one small room,
Over the convenient store,
she had big plans once,
she doesn't have them anymore,
Got little diamonds in her ears,
But she's got cold in her eyes,
It's been night so long now,
she doesn't think the sun will rise.
And she asks 'Is this all there is?,
Won't this ever end?
There must be a better place.'
Looking for another world,
I'm not sure we should,
I'm not sure salvation lies there,
There is bad as well as good,
Let us love each other now,
As if this world is all there is.
He wanted to believe,
In the dreams he held so dear,
He swam against the tide,
But he was drowning in his fear.
On the lost horizon,
the goal kept shrinking down in size,
It's been night so long now,
He doesn't think the sun will rise.
And he says 'This can't be all there is,
There must be something more,
there must be a better place.'
Looking for another world,
I'm not sure we should,
I'm not sure salvation lies there,
There is bad as well as good,
Let us love each other now,
As if this time is all there is.
Lying here beside you,
I wonder what will become of us,
Of you and me, oh, of all of us,
So many dangers, oh, so much at stake.
I'm scared of what I can't see, my love,
I am so scared.
I'll help you if I can,
I believe I've got to try,
We all have our parts to play,
And I am playing mine.
I don't know about another world,
What beyond this curtain lies,
I know it's been night a long time,
But one day the sun will rise,
Yes, one day the sun will rise."
Jack's mom sang "Another World" at the concert first. The notes of "Thinking About Tomorrow" started to play, and as Molly sang he had flashbacks.

"Hey, I guess it's been a while, huh? Well, first I'd like to thank my band for learning this song so quickly, I wrote it today, and second of all, I'd like to dedicate it to my muse.
'Sometimes I feel undone, a stranger comes,'"
**********
Jack remembered when his mom first sang that song. His muse, Quinn Carter, had even given him a camera during that song.
**********
"Well, I was going to take some photos for my portfolio, but why don't you take this?" Quinn said, handing his camera out to Jack. "Really? Thanks!" Jack said, and Quinn nodded. Jack smiled and started taking pictures.
**********
Jack was gripping the camera so tightly in his hands his hands were sweaty. Annie came over and tapped him on the shoulder. "Jack, is something wrong? You're holding that camera like if you let go of it, it will blow up!" Annie told him. Jack gave a weak grin and loosened his grasp. He started to take pictures of Annie. He also took pictures of her with the boy when they weren't looking. "Do you want to go to the tour bus?" Quinn asked Annie, putting his arm around her shoulders. "Sure, let me go tell Jack where will be so Molly doesn't worry. Okay?" Quint nodded after Annie said that. Annie walked toward Jack. "I'll be at the tour bus, okay?" Annie told Jack, smiling. "Okay... ...Can you take my camera back for me?" Jack asked, not knowing that someone had installed a video camera that would watch Annie and Quinn everywhere. "Sure!" Annie said, taking the camera. She walked back to Quinn and they walked to the tour bus outside. They went on and went to Annie's room. Once they were there, Annie set down the camera on a table in her room. Quinn pulled her over and kissed her. They were a bit apart, but Quinn kept pulling her closer and closer. He went from a short kiss to a deep, "I really love you." kiss. Annie smiled and Quinn pulled her onto the bed. They didn't know that the camera was watching their every move.
