Somewhere in Neverland

Say Goodbye

□□ "You two are really inseparable. You're like, each other's hypeman."  □□

Somewhere in Neverland's storyline started on the first day of New Year; way before they went to Hopeless Records Headquarters.

"You ready for this?" Jack asked as he pulled up the sheets up to their legs. Kirsten was beside him, tying her hair up into a messy bun.

"Uh.. Yeah.." Kirsten said in a soft and hesitant manner. It would be the first time she'll do it with him so she was really nervous.

Jack traced his hand on her shoulders then on her back, then down to her waist. He softly poked her side with his fingers. His hands were lightly caressing her. Kirsten held on to Jack's arm and pressed her body closely to it.

He kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, and then her sweet supple lips. "3.." he whispered.

Kirsten shook his arm a little with a wink. "Don't keep me waiting, Jack. I've prepared for this."

Jack continued his countdown, "2.. 1.." He immediately covered his ears together with Kirsten.

Loud music blasted out from the surround speakers of his bedroom. A mix of house tunes, random rock ad-libs and their blended voices which spoke out, 'Happy New Year!'. The two tried to endure the noise and kept themselves covered with sheets. A minute after, the sound clip finally ended.

Their little New Year celebration started out with Kirsten's thought of a loud New Year. When they celebrated it at the Barakat Household, there wasn't any loud noise made, except for the fireworks. So they decided to make a blast for  themselves. The only problem was, they blasted the speakers at 8 in the morning.

But it was a new year for them. Another 365 days of hopefully great days and greater weekends. They knew that maybe a third of their year would be spent on tours, album signing, meet and greets, photoshoots and interviews, so everyday should be a special day even if it is not.

There was always that kind of thought for Jack. It was mostly the reason why his actions were spontaneous, really funny and quite over the top at times. He knew that tours and all that band stuff are going on and on every month. Even without the tour, the times they could spend with their loved ones were counted. Maybe he was just a natural fun-loving guy, but maybe a bit of a chaser for personal moments too.

The European tour was just around the corner for them. They were still unsure if Kirsten could come them. There's just no stopping her since she's perfectly fine. She has gone past through the trauma of Santa Balls tour. As Alex mentioned, she just started to listen to Poison and sing along with it. For her, it would be better to assume that she would sing it alone so she could learn every part of it.

As she was listening to it, Jack noticed her softly rocking her head to match the beat of the song. Kirsten was sat on the far end of the couch and Jack on the other. She leaned her head on the arm rest and folded her knees so it wouldn't reach Jack who was watching the TV. Jack slowly stood up and placed his bum close to Kirsten's face.

Shortly after, Kirsten's nose wrinkled with the unpleasant smell coming through it. She removed the headphones together with the opening of her eyes. What welcomed her was Jack's bottom on sweatpants. Kirsten's initial reaction was to punch it.

"Oh ouch!" Jack tried to sound like a little girl. "Smells good?" he asked as he went back to his normal voice.

"Why?!" Kirsten shouted at him. Her face was in total disgust and Jack was just laughing at her. He continued teasing her by poking her nose. Kirsten would just pout at him everytime.
