Samantha's POV

Jack and I had plans to go out tonight.

I wasn't exacty sure what were doing because he wouldn't tell me.. He literally refused to give me any information.

He had told me to dress in something fancy, but not too much.. So, that's what I did:

After getting dressed, I quickly ran to get my hair done.

I at first was gonna wear my hair up into a high bun, but I knew that Jack liked it when I wore my hair out. So, instead, I just brushed it out, letting my semi-curly, semi-wavy hair flow free..

Next, I put on some black eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and dark red lipstick... Simple, per usual..

Just then, I grabbed my phone, and went to go and meet Jack downstairs in the kitchen..

I found him standing and talking with his family.

Then, as soon as I walked through the door, his mom and sisters turned their attention to me, making him turn around and see me, too.

He smiled at me as I saw that familiar glint enter his eyes.

"You look gorgeous..." He said, walking towards me as he kissed my cheek. "Are you ready to go?"

"Um," I took a moment. "Yes,"

"Okay, then, let's-"

"Wait!" Mrs. Stanford quickly said, stopping us dead in our tracks. "I need pictures..!"

Jack and I turned aroun to see Ava, Sydnie, and his mom all have their phones out.. Ready to start snapping pictures.

Jack then wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer as they all took a couple pictures.

"Alright, alright.." Jack smiled, playfuly rolling his eyes. "We gotta go.."

"Oay, fine.." His mom said. "Have fun, and be safe!"

Samantha's POV

"Did you like the movie?" Jack asks as I take a bite of my food.

I nod, happily, with a wide grin.

Jack had taken us to go watch a movie, and we were now having dinner at a restaurant.

We went to watch 'Mr. Right'  starring Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell. Jack had let me choose the movie. It was actually a really good movie, and I enjoyed seeing it.

"It was very funny," I giggled, remembering certain parts from the movie.

"Yeah," He smiles, taking a sip of his water. "Are you glad that we came tonight?"

"Definitely." I nodded with a smile.

But, my smile then faded as a thought came to mind.

".. I still can't believe that you're leaving next month, though.."

"I know, but.." He reached overbthe table, taking my hand in his. "Everything will be fine.. You can come visit on tour, and I can visit you, and you can visit me, and we'll talk all the time."

"Yeah," I sigh. "I guess.."

I still wasn't exactly sure about the whole long distance thing, but I guess I'd rather give it a try then to lose him..

That's when he smiled at me, changing my whole perspectivenon things... But, in a good way..

I loved Jack's smile.. It most of the time could always cheer me up.. It was so bright and sweet, and it seemed to light up the whole room.

"Jack," I then start, holding his hand a little tighter. "I'm gonna miss you..."

He pulled my hand up and kissed the back of it. "I'm gonna miss you, too, princess..."
