Falling// Jack Avery

65

When you woke up the next morning you temporarily forgot about last night. You went into the kitchen and made a bowl of cereal and sat down. Allie soon cake out of her room, fixed a bowl of cereal, and joined you.

"Soooo do you think your going to use the recording studio? It could really help boost your followers and possibly your career" Allie said instantly bringing back all of the stress and confusion
"Yeah and I don't know what to do. There's so many reasons that make me not want to do it" you said
"Like what?" She asked and you sighed
"Well I wouldn't be doing photography anymore, i would get fans that would want me to tour which means I would be away from Jack and our schedules would never match up which would lead to us drifting apart. I can't have that, Allie" you said
"Have you talked to Jack about it?" She asked
"No, but Im gonna call him as soon as I finish this" you said and shoved a spoonful of cereal into your mouth.

Afterwards, you went into your room and texted Jack.

M: hey what are y'all doing right now??
M: I need to talk to you about something
M: Jackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk it's important

He wasn't answering so you decided to call him. You quickly dialed his number and it rang several times but still no answer. You gave up and decided to try and call Zach. It was the same thing with him. You then called Jonah, Corbyn, and Daniel, but still no answer. You gave up and decided to just go sit by the pool and try to relax. You got into a pair of athletic shorts and a t shirt and walked out of your room.

"Allie I'm going down to the pool!" You yelled so she could hear
"Okay do you want me to come with you?" She asked
"I'm actually gonna try to relax for a little bit but I'll be back in a little while" you said
"Okay that's fine" she replied and you grabbed your phone and went down to the pool

Nobody was there so you just sat on one of the chairs under an umbrella. You waited for a text or call back from any of the boys but you never got anything. You waited and waited and waited on a call. You were lost in your thoughts when eventually you heard a ding. You immediately grabbed your phone to see if it was one of the boys but it was only Allie.

A: hey are you okay? You've been down there for a while
M: yeah I'm coming back up now
A: okay

You sat up and got out of the chair and let out a sigh. You went back up to the room and Allie was on the couch in the living room. She motioned for you to come sit by her so you did.

"Okay, I can tell somethings wrong" Allie said
"How?" You asked
"Because, you just went down to the pool and didn't swim and didn't even want me to come with you and I can just tell" she said and you sighed
"It's about Luke Smith. I don't know what to do and I need Jack and Zach's help but I called and texted them and they won't answer and I'm just so stressed and I wish that guy would've never talked to us because now I'm rethinking everything I've done since I got to LA" you said
"Well, you could just act like he never came up to you and just go on with your life" Allie suggested
"I know but where's that gonna get me? Nowhere. I have to do something but I don't know what to do" you said and started to tear up from the stress
"Well, I would usually say call Zach or Jack but they're busy, so all I can offer you for now is a good hug and I'll listen to your problems" Allie said and you let out a small laugh and she hugged you

You and Allie talked for quite a while and you were feeling a little better. Eventually you were just tired of talking, so you turned on the TV so you could watch some TV to take your mind off things. It had been about 1 hour since you tried to call the boys and finally Zach called you. Though it wasn't Jack, you immediately answered

"Hello?" You said
"Hey did you need something? Me and the boys have been rehearsing and we didn't have our phones" Zach said
"Oh well yeah I did need something. Well..I still need something but if your busy it can wait I guess" you said
"Umm How long will it take because I have to go back out there in 10 minutes. I had to take a water and pee break" Zach said obviously hinting that me didn't have a very long time
"Uh...it'll probably take too long, just tell Jack to call me when y'all are done and have a lot of time" you said and sighed
"Are you sure becau-" Zach tried to say but you cut him off
"No, it's fine. I'll talk to you later, bye, love you" you said
"Bye, love you too" he replied and you hung up

You were extremely stressed and mad because you needed to talk to the boys. You understood that they were busy but you needed them..well you needed Jack. You went into your room and sat on your bed and just thought about your life. After what felt like forever, you felt you phone start vibrating. You quickly grabbed your phone and saw Jack's name on the screen so you answered it.

"Hey" you said
"Maddie are you okay? Zach told me you needed to talk to me and I just got my phone and saw all the texts and calls and the guys said you called them too" Jack said and you could tell me was worried
"I guess I'm fine but I just need to come talk to you because I don't know that I can do it over the phone" you said trying not to start crying again
"Baby are you okay?" Jack asked again
"I'm just so stressed and I don't know what to do and I just need your help" you said and tears finally started to slowly come down
"I'm on my way to pick you up" Jack said
"Are you done with rehearsals? I don't wanna mess up anything" you said
"You're not messing up anything, I'll be there in 10 minutes" Jack said
"Okay I love you" you said
"I love you too" you replied and hung up

You went into your bathroom and brushed out your hair and you didn't put any makeup on because you knew you might have another mental breakdown. You stayed in the clothes you were already wearing. You slid on a pair of slip on vans and walked into the living room. Just about that time Jack texted you and said he was there, so you quickly went downstairs to meet him.
