"Wine at 9:30 In the morning, Jack you better marry this one." Zach smiled.

"Oh shit. I'll be back in like five minuets." I Said answering the phone

"Everything Okay?" Lisa asked

"Good morning mom." I Said running up stairs.

Jack's pov

"Her mom and her have long conversations so this might be a while." I said

"Oh and Zach I will marry." I smiled

Lisa gasped as she covered her mouth. "Is that want the ring is  for?" She smiled.

"It was just going to be a promise ring, but she's more then a promise, she's a forever." I smiled.

"Really man?, this is like a big deal" Alex said

I went over to my suitcase and grabbed the small box. "I've never been so sure of something in my life." I Said opening the box.

"Holy shit that's beautiful." Lisa smiled.

"Damn man, proud of you." Zach Said rubbing my back

"I'm planning your wedding in my head right now."  Lisa laughed.

"When are you planning?" Rian asked

"London, on stage towards the end of the set."  I smiled

"I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE YOU." Chloe yelled

I closed the box and shoved the ring back in my bag.

"What's going on Chloe?" I Said walking up the stairs.

"MOVE." She commended. She threw her phone on the ground as I picked it up.

"Hello?" I Said

"Jack honey, hi it's Sydney, her father got bailed out of jail and he's on the way to the house." She said.

"Okay I'll take care of her." I Said hanging up.

"Chloe, Babygirl come here." I Said softly.

"He won't leave me alone, Jack" She cried.

"I know baby, I want you to sit with Lisa and the boys and I'll take care of him Okay, No man should be treating you like that you didn't deserve that black eye, you don't deserve any of this negativity coming towards you." I Said.

She stayed silent and ran her fingers through her hair.

"Chloe I'd die for you, that might sound cliché but it's true, Chloe... fuck I love you. You have made me a better person and I'm not losing you just yet." I smiled

She grabbed my face and slammed our lips together. "Thanks Barakat." She smiled.

"Chloe Lin Jones open this door now." A loud voice said.

"I can fight my own battles babe." She said reaching under the table.

"Woh, no guns Chloe." I Said.

"Do you trust me, because I need you to trust me right now." She said

Chloe's pov

Jack nodded his head at me as I stood up and loaded the gun and stuck it in my waist band.

"What do you want?" I Said opening the door.

"I came to apologize." He Said

"You fucking punched your daughter, you don't deserve to give an apology." I Said.

"Then let's catch up." He Said.

"Okay yeah let's catch up, I was engaged at 18 I planned on marrying the only guy that understood me, then we were expecting a baby girl for our family.  Till I had a miscarriage. Do you know how fucked i was after that my baby girl Emma was pulled out feet first. I was broken... Justin and I called the wedding off he moved to California. My best friend and I moved here to get away form everyone. I got the job of my dreams, then my world came down again. I'm with someone else and I get a phone call saying my mother's dead. What else?, oh my boyfriend that I thought cared for me then cheated on me because I'm obviously not good enough for anybody. Then what still feels like a dream I'm now with someone that makes me feel like living the next day. Through all this fucking bull shit... He's held me together and he doesn't stop, know what that's called? A good man. Something you are not."  I Said

"You have no idea how long I have wanted to get that off my chest." I cried

"Chloe I want to start New with you, bring the family together." He Said

"I don't need my family anymore, I've learned I have my friends to take care of me, like jack and his friends, and Geoff, Geoff is the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me, he's my best friend."

"Can I meet this Jack and I'll leave you alone... forever if you want me to."  He Said

"You don't have anything on you do you, nothing to hurt him?" I asked.

He patted him self down and took out a phone, a pocket knife a $100 bill and a photo. I took the gun out of my Waist band and set it on the counter top.

"Come out Jack." I Said

Jack stood up and stood in front of me.

"Jesus you're tall." Ben said

"What's your occupation?" Ben asked

"Spreading Music around the world."

"Where were you born son?"

"Middle East."

"So you're an Immigrant?" He Said

"Yes." He Said

"You know I was in the military, and we prob-."

"Get the fuck off my property, if you're gonna to be rude to him like that." I said opening the door.

"Good bye Chloe." Ben said shutting the door.

"Jack I am so sor-."

"Don't say anything, just be quiet for a minute." He Said kissing me lightly.

"Did you mean every word you said about me?" He smiled

"Yeah, or else I wouldn't have said it." I smiled

"I appreciate you so much and I love you so much." He smiled.

"You are my forever, nothing last forever... but you and I are." He smiled.

"Forever?"

"Forever Babygirl." He smiled.

I smiled and kissed him gently. "I love you." I smiled

"I love you too." He Said picking me up.

I couldn't help but to smile and laugh at him. The words Forever stuck in my head for a few minutes. Jack rubbed my back as I rubbed his neck in circles. The guys were looking at us and smiled.

"I think we're boring them." I laughed

"Come on let's get going we got a week and a half of fun." Rian said.

I pulled my pants up and grabbed my phone and slid it in my pocket.
"I'm ready." I Said grabbing my bag.
