the fic i just got

You know that fan girls all over the world would KILL to have your life. They’d do ANYTHING for it. You can only imagine the horrors. You however, you hate it. Being in a love triangle is not something a girl would ever wish apon themself, if they knew what was in store. Someone is aleays getting hurt, especially you, seeing as how you’re the one forced to pick between the two perfect boys. It tries the band, and it tries friendships. They crazy thing is, it all started out so normally.. “Hey Kels! Jack!” Alex calls over, interrupting and intense game of go-fish. You glance up at the brunette, slightly annoyed. “What is it, Alex? Can’t you see we’re busy?” you ask him. He laughs at you annoyance. “Well me and Zack are going out tonigjt and Rian is with Cass, but we were wondering if you wanted to come with.” he says. He concider it, glancing at Jack, who shakes his head. “I gotta go visit my mom.” he says. “Tour starts back up too soon.” Alex looks at you. “I’ll go.” you shrug.  So you, Alex, and Zack end up going to a bar in Towson where Zack lives. You and Alex trust his judgement and you aren’t let down. Alex is drunk in record time and you and Zack sit at the bar, drinking and watching him make a fool out of himself. He soon tires of that and sits down on your lap. You laugh. “What are you DOING, Lexy?” you ask him. He grins. “No one else calls me Lexy but you, Kels. I like it.” he tells you. Then he kisses you sloppily. “Ewww Alex!” you say, wiping ypur mouth.  He laughs. “Whaaaat, Kelsey? You no like my kisses?” he asks, pouting this adorable pout that almost makes you want to awh out loud. Zack just rolls his eyes. “Get off her Alex. Stop being such a flirt.” he says, making you laugh. Alex isn’t as amused. “Hey Merrick, why don’t you shut the fuck up?” he hisses. Your jaw drops. “Alex chill out. He’s just teasing you.” you say. Zack rolls his eyes, not offended, but not surprised either. Alex softens. “Sowwy buddy. I LOVE YEW.” he says, kissing Zack  Zack shoves him away, wiping his mouth with disgust. Alex cracks up like it’s the funniest thing in the world. “ALEX!” Zack yells, obviously grossed out. Alex is on the ground now, rolling around and laughing, while you burst into tears from laughing so hard. Zack rolls his eyes and grumbles something about Alex being a faggot. This causes Alex to grin. “Only for you, Zacky.” he giggles. “We’re going home.” Zack announces. “Okay hottie.” you and Alex reply at the same time, causing more giggles.  When you get back to the apartment, (Zack drives) you and Zack tuck Alex into bed and go downstairs to drink just a bit more. You try calling Jack, but he doesn’t answer and you assume he’s still with his family. Zack speaks, breaking a comfortable silence. “Alex wants you to go on tour with us.” he tells you. You frown. “Really? That’s random. Why?” you ask. Zack shrugs and you raise an eyebrow, staring him diwn. He blushes. “Alrigh, alright!” he surrenders. “Well I think is because he likes u”  You laugh. “Alex doesn’t like me! He’s like my brother.” you tell Zack. “I’ve known him for ages.” you add. Zack shrugs. “I dunno. I’ve known him for a while too, and it just seems like everything adds up perfectly.” he tells you. Ypu roll your eyes. “Maybe.” you say, consenting. Another silence brews and the rest of the night is peacefull small talk and rich, red wine. You and Zack have weird traditions, compared to the ither guys, but you enjoy them. You like a break from the crazy sometimes.  Then it morning and you wake up to a heavy weight directly on top of you. They’re warm and they smell of dog hair and men’s deodorant and another thing that you can’t quite name. You like it. “Allex gerrof me.” you mutter into hos cheat, having trouble breathing. He laughs, and you feel his whole body shake. He slides off you and you tune into your surroundings. You smell pancakes now. Zack must be in the kitchem. Alex looks good. Not hungover at all. You grin up at him. “What’s up with you?”  He shrugs, the big smile not leaving his face. “Zack is making food.” he tells you, making you laugh. “I know, Lex. I can sme-” and then you’re cut off because he’s kissing you, and it’s real this time. He isn’t drunk, and he isn’t just slobbing on your face. You’re frozen and don’t pull away until you hear a gasp. Your head whips around to see Zack. He looks hurt. “Sorry if I’m interrupting..” he turns away. “No, Zack!” you cry. “You aren’t interrupting anything.” you say. Now Alex looks hurt.  You groan inwardly, but before you have to speak, Jack is birsting through the front door. “Hey guys! Sorry I missed last night, but I’m here to pick up Kelsey for one last best friend day before we go back on tour.” he announces. You let out a breath of relief and smile at him. Zack shrugs and Alex nods. “Bye.” they say at the same time. Then you’re dragging a confused Jack out the door beire he can ask any more questions, and before anyone can recieve any answers that they might not like.. As soon as Jack is driving, you’re spilling all of what happened to him and he’s listening with an intensity that is extremy rare for him. You appretiate it greatly. “Well fuck.” he says when you’re done. “I know..” you groan, laying your ead back against the seat. Jack is driving around aimlessl, no destination in sight. “Well, do you like him?” he asks. “Well maybe..” you admit. “But I like Zack too!” you groan. “I like them both for different reasons.” you tell him honestly. He frowns.  “This is like Twilight.” he says decidedly. You freeze, your jaw dropping. You want to laugh, extremy hard, but you can’t tell if he’s being serious and might take offence from it. Heglances at youthrough his perepherals, and you see he’s dead serious. “I mean, I guess so?” you consent. “Only neither of them are either a vampire or a werewolf.” you say. “And I don’t think I’m an emotionless loser.” you tell him. He laughs now. “I meant just the triangle part!” he says. “Someone aleays gets hurt”  “This is like Twilight.” he says decidedly. You freeze, your jaw dropping. You want to laugh, extremy hard, but you can’t tell if he’s being serious and might take offence from it. Heglances at youthrough his perepherals, and you see he’s dead serious. “I mean, I guess so?” you consent. “Only neither of them are either a vampire or a werewolf.” you say. “And I don’t think I’m an emotionless loser.” you tell him. He laughs now. “I meant just the triangle part!” he says. “Someone aleays gets hurt”  You’re both laughing now. Jack’s realize how rediculous what he just said is, and you’ve never been able to help but laugh when he’s laughing. His laugh is contagious. Whem the two of you calm down, you frown. “Well what should I do, Jack?” you ask him. “I dunno, princess.” he says. “You gotta follow your heart.” he tells you, making you groan. He smiles, and the two of you spend the rest of the day just being best friends. Tomorrow, the boys leave and you’ll jave a whole two months to think.  “Come with us.” The words come as a curve ball, smashing into the window of your life. The two boys who spoke at the same time glare at each other ever so faintly. You meet Alex’s eyes, then Zack’s. It’s litterally ten hours before they leave for Brazil. “Guys I-” you’re cut off. “We packed for you.” Alex says while Zack says: “We already got you a ticket.” Again, they glare at each other. You glance at Rian. He srugs. “You can come if you like, Kels.” he says. Jack grins at you. You sigh.  “Come with us.” The words come as a curve ball, smashing into the window of your life. The two boys who spoke at the same time glare at each other ever so faintly. You meet Alex’s eyes, then Zack’s. It’s litterally ten hours before they leave for Brazil. “Guys I-” you’re cut off. “We packed for you.” Alex says while Zack says: “We already got you a ticket.” Again, they glare at each other. You glance at Rian. He srugs. “You can come if you like, Kels.” he says. Jack grins at you. You sigh.  The plane ride is hell. Alex is up your ass constantly, tangling his fingers in yours, burrying his face in your neck. He’s extremely affectionate and you can tell it hurts Zack, who refuses to touch you at all. The two are polar opposites. You glance at Jack and Rian across from you and feel envious. They’re talking and happy while you’re sitting there, sandwhiched between to perfect boys who are fighting for you attention. It’s maddening. Jack catches your eye and smiles weakly. You groan. It’s even worse when Flyzik tells you that you get to room with ONE of them. Jack is rooming with Rian. Evan and Jeff. Flyzik, Grieco, and Coloussy. Ian and Danny. The boy you don’t choose, will also room with Jack and Rian. Alex gives you his signature pout, and Zack rolls his eyes, turning away from you. You shut your eyes and just let your mouth move on it’s own accord. “I’ll room with Zack for tonight.” it says. You open your eyes and Alex looks crushed, but Jack squeals happily, covering u.  Zack is totally different when he’s away from Alex, and you no longer regret chosing him inside of the other boy. Well, maybe just a little.. “Wanna order room service?” he asks you. “I don’t wanna eat dinner out of the vending machine..” he mutters, making you laugh. “Zack’s a douche! No, Zack’s just shy!” you quote, making him roll his eyes. “Answer the question, Kelsey.” he demands. You grin. “Of course I want room service. Do you speak Portugeese?” you ask. “No, butthey speak English..”  Oh.. You knew that. Zack laughs at you and calls while you start unpacking. You’re in this hotel for a week, which is strange, because you always thought hotels were a one or two day thing for bands, seeing as how they’re always on the move. You’re exciyed about this tour. You get to be side stage, the one near Zack, because the crew stands on Jack’s side, and watch the boys every night for free. You wern’t excited about being here at forst, but now you realize that this is going to be AWESOME.  The food comes and halfway through eating, mealtime becomes ‘Zack tackles Kelsey and takes her food’ time. You’re both laughing and cursing at each other, and you can’t remember the last time ypu laugh so hard with someone other than Jack. You like the feeling. “You asshole!” Zacklaughs at your outburst, popping the piece of cake he just stole from you into his mouth. You growl at him an leap across the bed to tackle him, knocking you both to the floor. He flips ypu over easily and laughs.  You struggle underneath him, but it’s hopeless because Zack is a motherfucking tank and you hate him for being so much stronger than you. He laughs. “Let me up, Zack.” you demand. He shakes his head, grinning widely. You growl at him. “I swear to god, Zack! I’ll fucking kill you in your sleep!” you threaten him. He rolls his eyes, grin ever present. “Maybe I’ll let you up..” he teases you. You groan. “What do you want?” ypu ask. He’s suddenly serious. You frown. “I want a kiss.” he tells you.  You stare up at him for a moment, mind racing as fast as your heart. Then you do the unthinkable. You nod. His lips are on yours and your fingers tangle in his shory, brown hair. You move in synch and everything feels just.. great. It isn’t perfect. There aren’t firewords or sparks. But your heart races and you smile when he pulls away, because you really liked it. You like kissing Zack. You like Zack. He grins back at you and rolls off of you, helping ypu to a stand. You accept his hand.  You peck his lips again, and he smiles against you mouth. Everything seems different now. It’s a weird feeling, but you like it. “So Kelsey..” Zack starts to say before he trails off. You raise an eyebrow, knowing what he’s thinking. “We don’t have to tell anyone.” you say. “Even the band members.” you add. He stares at you with a mix of shock and greatfullness. Really though, you just all of a sudden feel guilty. You feel guilty for picking Zack over Alex, and that’s stupid, damnit. So why..?  The next morning, it’s Flyzik that wakes you up, because Zack is out on his morning jog and he knows it’ll take you a while to be ready because you want to talk to the rest of the boys. When he leaves, you go into the bathroom to take a shower. You stand in front of the mirror for a minute, examining yourself. For once, you love what you see. You see a bright smile and perfectly sculpted lips. You hair is falling just the right way over your eyes, and best of all, your lips still taste like Zack  When you’re done getting ready, you meet Jack in the lobby and go out to breakfast with him, Danny, and Grieco. The four of you talk about the show that night and take bets on how many bras Jack will have around hos mic by the time Alex sings “I got your picture. I’m coming with you..” You eat all of the pancakes and hasbrowns that you can hold, and laugh when Jack puts straws up his nose and tries to drink out of them. It’s gross, but it’s a break from life. This is why Jack is your best friend  They start the show that night with Stay Awake, and you flip shit sidestage. Cass laughs and holds you while you fangirl, and you’re so glad Rian convinced the guys to let Hey Monday open, because bein the only girl would suck. Alex winks over at you while he sings your favourite song and you realize he must have convinced Flyzik to add it to the set list just for you. You’re heart swells, but then you catch Zack’s eyes. He grins at you and ypu grin back, feeling guilty yet again. God damnit.   The boys are great, really. At some point during the show, someone throws a bra at Alex while he’s singing Damned. He stops the song and laughs. “Hey! I’m fucking singing up here! Throw your goddamn bras at Jack. He likes that shit. Or Zack! Zack needs some bras on his mic!” he tells the crowd, causing them to cheer. Zack grabs his mic. “I never get bras cause Jack talks more than me, but I’ll take Alex’s!” he says. The crowd goes crazy hearing Zack speak andypu grin. He seems happier tonight. The close with Maria and the boys go off to meet the fans while you hang back with the crew and help them clean up. Danny keeps you busy wrapping chords up and setting them in appropriately labled boxes. You don’t mind it, really. The guys all laugh and tell stories about people in the crowd or sing songs from the set as loudly and terribly as they can. You laugh with everyone and bask in the feeling of the band family. A while later, the boys return and Rian suggests everyone go out to eat.  You all end up at some really weird Chineese/Mexican restaurant that Coloussy found and the epic battle over the food type ensues. The band and crew split between the two types of food and argue over them. When you put fried rice into your burrito, World War Three starts. Apparently, you can’t mix Mexican food with Chineese. It’s one or the other. Then there’s a food fight and Matt argues with the manager but you all get thrown out anyway. “THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS.” Matt yells. Then Matt is being tackled to the ground in the middle of the sidewalk by three boys and everyone is laughing until they’re crying. Your stomach hurts, but it’s a good kind of hurt. Jack lets you ride on his shoulders on the way back to the hotel and you hold both Alex and Zack’s hands all the way. Alex continues to tease Flyzik about his arguement with the manager and everyone laughs. Jack hands you over to Zacj at the hotel and Zack carries you up to the room, your face burries in his chest. Without a doubt, you’re exaughsted. Zack lays you down on the bed with extreme care and tucks you in, brushing your hair out of your face and touching his lips to your cheek. Then, he crawls into the bed beside you and you curl up against him, sighing happily when he wraps his arms around you and pulls you impossibly closer to his warm, nice smelling, body. It doesn’t take you long to fall asleep in the slightest, but after the day you’ve had, it isn’t really all that surpirising.  The next morning, you’re woken up by none other than the raven-haired boy. You open your eyes groggily and look up at him. “Whoa!” you say. Now you’re wide awake. He looks self-concious. “What? Doe it look stupid?” he asks. Youshake your head. “You brought back the skunk!!” you cry. He rolls his eyes. “Why does everyone call it the skunk!?” he complains. “I’m not a fucking animal!” he says. You laugh and sit up to talk to him better. He looks great, really. It’s almost like it’s 2007 again.  “I like it, Jack!” you assure him. “When did you do it?” you ask. He shrugs. “Alex did it for me.” he tells you. Then he frowns, which is really weird. “We both did our hair differently last night..” he mutters. You look at him funny, confused as to the sudden change in mood from the ever happy boy. “Why do you sound all weird now?” you ask him. “What did Alex do to his hair this time? It can’t be that bad.” you say. He just looks at you. “Oh Kelsey.. You just wait until you see it, okay?”  You just gape at Alex when Jack takes you back up to their room. He’s dyed the top of his head pink, with another random spot of pink around the back of his head. The rest of his hair is a deep, purplish-black colour. Jack stamds beside you with his arms crossed, an ‘I told you so’ look eritten all over his face. “Alex..” you start to say, trailing off. “Ehat?” he asks, pouting and looking hurt. “I wanted to try something different.” he insists. You just nod at him, mouth still open eith shock. “You should Tweet a picture!” Ian calls over from his bed. Alex’s face lights up and Jack laughs. “Oh my god, fans are gonna freak.” Jack says. You laugh with them and Alex glances over at you, handing you his phone. “You wanna take the picture, love?” he asks you. You blush ever so slightly, but cover it with a laugh and nod. “Sure. Do something stupid!” you tell him. He holds up his hand into a fist and scruntches his face rock. He must have been trying to look punk rock, but he looks mental.  You take the picture and Alex Tweets it. The four of you spend the next hour and a half laughing at the fans on Twitter and Tumblr. Someone knocks on the door and Jack goes to answer it. When he comes back, he’s with Zack, who’s back from his run and freshly showered. You smile at him warmly, barely even noticing the look that gets from Alex. Zack’s jaw drops. “Alex, dude.. Your hair!” he says. Alex grins, the attention on him again. “Zack, you should see what the fans are saying.” Alex laughs.  You’re helping Jack with his hair before the show when the truth comes out. “Alex dyed his hair like that for attention.” he tells you, making you frown. “What? Attention from who?” you ask. Jack rolls his eyes. “From you, princess.” he says, using the pet name he has for you. Only Jack calls you princess. No one else. You roll ypur eyes, but turn away to hide your blush. “Everyone thinks Alex eants attention from me. I don’t get it!” you say. “PRINCE.” you add, making him smile. He shrugs.  “Well he only does this crazy shit when you’re around.” Jack points out. “I mean, dyeing his hair and singing Stay Awake. Plus, did you see his face when Zack walked in today?” Jack asks you. “As soo. As your attention was on Zack, Alex wasn’t happy.” he tells you. You roll your eyes. “Alex is cute.” you say simply. Then, there’s the devil himself. “Oh, am I?” he asks, walking in. He turn to Jack. “Flyzik needs you.” Jack nods and goes to meet Matt. Alex turns to you, grinning broadly.  “You think I’m cute.” he says, smiling. You roll your eyes. “You’re my brother.” you reply simply. Now it’s his turn to roll his eyes. “I think you’re cute.” he says softly, stepping towards you. You freeze, thoughts instantly fflying to Zack. The two of you aren’t official, but you aren’t exactly open either. Then Alex’s hands are on either side of your face and he’s looking into your eyes. You breath catches. He smiles softly and then leans in slowly, pressing his lips to yours softly.  He pulls away and grins at you. Then he’s gone. Back whereer he came from. You stand there for a moment, shocked and confused. Guilt is going through you and it worsens when Zack walks in. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you!” he says. “We’re about to go on, so I thought I’d get a hug from my good luck charm.” he grins at you. You smile weakly and wrap your arms around him. He aticks something in you back pocket and is gone. Before you can loom, Cass in there and she’s dragging you sidestage.  Halfway through the set, you remember Zack putting something in your back pocket and you pull it out. Your heart melts. It’s a bracelet with a couple charms on it: The letter K, a heart, Buzz Lightyear, and an ATL. You glance over at him and see him deeply into playing bass. Then you look over at Alex. He’s singing Heroes and his eyes are shut tight with concentration. Matt must be playing guitar for him. You watch the two boys for a moment before shutting your eyes. What have you gotten in to.. After the boys meet with the fans after the show, everyone splits off to their respective evenings. Jack, Alex, Flyzik and some of the others in the crew go to a bar, while Rian goes to meet Cass and Vinny and Danny head out to a strip club no doubt. You and Zack decide to go for a walk in the park, and Alex doesn’t look too pleased about that, but Jack drags him on. A couple minutes later, you and Zack are walking theough a small park, fingers tangled together. You’re both quiet, but its nice.  Then he’s stopping and you’re turning around to face him with a confused look on your face. He looks nervous and he’s blushing this adorable pink colour that makes you smile. “What is it, Zack?” you as him. He takes a breath and smiles at you weakly. “Well, I really like you Kelsey, and I’ve been tryin to build up the nerve to ask you this, because you’re you and well, I’m just shy, quiet Zack.” he says. You frown, confused. He takes another breath. “I mean, whatI’m trying to say is..”  “Kelsey, will you let me have the pleasure of calling you my girlfriend?” he asks you softly. You just stand there. You’re not entirely surprised, but you didn’t expect it either for some reason. Zack looks like a wreck and you know you don’t have much time to think, so you just smile and kiss him gently, saying one simple word: “Yes.” And then he’s smiling so big and kissing you and you decide that you’ll take this risk. It’s crazy and you don’t know if you’re ready, but Zack’s worth it.  You fall asleep the same way as last night and wake up to Zack for once. He’s standing in his running shorts and no shirt, so you assume it’s early and he’s on his way out. “Zack.” you say sleepily. He turns around an smiles at you lovingly. “Go back to sleep, gorgeous. It’s early yet.” he tells you. “Inna minute.” you mumble. “I gotta question.” you tell him. He smiles and nods. “Are we telling the boys?” you ask him. He frowns. “Not yet, I don’t think. We’ll tell them together.” he says.  It’s Alex who wakes you up next. He’s grinning and you notice the room is different. You sit up an rub your eyes and see that he’s brought you breakfast in bed. There’s a boquet of roses on the nighstand and candles lit everywhere, illumenating the room. “Goodmorning, love.” he smiles. On no. This isn’t happening.. Alex continues. “Well, I couldn’t think of a more creativr way to do this on tour, so I hope this works. He tells you. “Kelsey Morgan. Will you please be my girlfriend?” he asks you.  “Fuck.” you mutter under your breath, closing your eyes momentarily. When you open them, Alex looks crushed. “Is that a no?” he asks you. You want to cry. “No Alex-” he cuts you off. “You said I was cute.” he tells you softly. You take a breath. “I know, but the thing is-” he cuts you off again. “Is it a yes then?” he asks hopefulky. You open your mouth to say something, but Alex just grins. “Great! I’ll take you out to dinner tonight. We can go anywhere you like!” he trlls you. Then he’s gone.  You just sit there. Tears are actually running down your face now and instinct leads you to pick up your phone and call Jack. “I need you.” you tell him between sniffs. He’s there in less than two minutes, pulling you into his arms and rocking back and forth, asking you what happened. You tell him everything, and he’s quiet for a whole, just holding you against him. You listen to his heart beat and breathe in his smell, and soon enough, the tears stop. You feel e you’ve betrayed them both.  “Oh man, Kels.. I dunno what to tell you.” Jack whispers to you, allowing you to bury your face in his neck. You aren’t crying, but only because you know it won’t help anything. “Hey, princess.” Jack tries to coax you out of from inside yourself. You look up at him and he smiles at you. “Oh hey, beautiful.” You sigh. “What do I do, Jack?” you ask him. He aighs. “Ypu gotta pick between the two, princess.” he tells you. “Then you have to let the other one down easy.” he continues. You nod.  He smiles at you and glances at the time. “Alright, Kels. Zack should be back in about an hour and a half. Alex is out with Flyzik.” he tells you. “We have an hour and a half to decide who have the joy to be Kelsey’s boyfriend.” he says with a smile. You can’t help but smile back. “I loce you, prince.” you tell him. He grins. “I loce you too, princess. Now let’s figure us out a solution, huh?” he says to you. You nod and he kisses your forehead gently. Then the two of you talk. And talk.  Jack tells Alex that your date will have to wait for another night, because he’s taking you out around Brazil to experience the sights. Alex is pissed, but he knows Jack always comes before most anyone, seeing as you and him are best friends. No one questions it. No one. After the show, Jack and you make an escape to a tiny little restraunt. It’s classic Brazilian and the two of you continue the conversation in a quiet corner of the bar. “Alright, princess. So have you made any decusions?”  You sigh and nod. “Just a few.” you tell him. He nods, waiting for you to continue and taking a sip of his drink. You take a breath. “Alex is so sweet, but he doesn’t let me get a word in edgewise. He’s an attention whore, and I feel like that could be bad at some point.” you say. Jack nods. You continue. “Zack is too shy to stamd up for me, I fear. I mean, I don’t know if this is true, but I feel like if I meeded him, he wouldn’t be able to back me up.” you say. He nods again. “I see.” he says.  He sets his drink down. “Do you want my opinion?” he asks. You nod and a slight smile catches your lips. “Of course I do.” you say. He grins at you. “So, you’re totally right about Alex.” he admits. “I’ve know him for ages and he thinks he can have any girl that he wants.” he tells you. You sigh and nod. “You’re wrong about Zack, though.” he tells ypu. You raise an eyebrow and Jack continues. “Zack will defend the people he loves to the death. I’ve seen him do it before.” Jack says. You smile.  “Alright,” you say. “I think I’ve made my decision.” you tell him. He grins and nods. “Good. Let’s go break the news.” he says, taking your hand and leaving the bar, after leaving the proper amount of money on the table. The two of you catch a cab back to the hotel and Jack runs up to get the two boys in question. You sit in the lounge and think everything over, trying to decide if you made the right decision. Thr worst think you could do is pick the wrong person. It would be dasterous.  Jack brings the boys down and they’re both glaring at each other, so you know Jack’s told them what’s going on. You smile at them both though, and they both smile back at you genuinely. You take a breath and aproach Alex. “Look Alex,” you say. “I’m really sorry, but you’ll never be more than a brother to me.” you tell him. “I love you, but not in the way that you feel about me.” you tell him. He looks hurt, but you know he’ll get over it. He can have any other girl and he sure as hell knows it.  You hold your arms out for a hug and he grins at you. It’s a real grin and you know that there’s no hard feelings. You’re relieved. You wrap your arms around each other, and you stand on your toes so that you can kiss his cheek. “Cutie.” you wink at him, making him laugh. Then you tirn to Zack and smile. “Zack, you’re one of the sweetest people I know, and other people agree. I love you..” you pause and the silce catches up. You take a breath. “But you aren’t it either, Zacky. I’m sorry.” All three boys stare at you now, cometely and utterly confused. You smile at your hands and look up to meet Jack’s eyes. “It was always you..” you say softly. “It was always you, and I was just too atupid to see it.” you admit. He stares back at you calmly, eyes twinkling. “You loved me, so you put up with my boy problems and kept ot to ypurself because you wanted me to be happy, didn’t you, prince.” It’s not a question. You know it’s true. He nods alightly, and Alex and Zack glancr at each other  Alex and Zack mutter something and back of awkwardly, probably going somewhere to apologize. You aproach Jack and stand on your toes, wrapping your arms around his neck to kiss him. He lifts you up and you wrap ypur legs around his waist as he holds you and kisses you back. You feel the sparks now, the fireworks. You feel all of the things that you didn’t feel when you kisses Alex or Zack. You feel whole. You feel happy. You know that you made the right decision and you smile against his mouth.  He pulls away and smiles at you, love filling his eyes. “I love you, princess.” he says for the second time that day. Only this time, you know he what he really means when he says it. “I love you too, sweet prince.” you reply, smily widely. It’s a nice feeling, finding the one you know is right. <3
