Shut your mouth and listen closely

"Okay so, listen closely I have something to tell you." Jack says.
He looks at me with a very serious expression on his face, which was rare for him. I just give him a nod.
"The guys and I are going on tour and I wanted you to come with us." He says.
"Jack-" I start.
"Hold on. I don't think I can go two weeks without you. We practically grew up together and if I don't get to see you on our three year anniversary I'll die." Jack says dramatically.
"Jack, you'd be fine." I say.
"But we've been dating for three years. Since we were kids basically. And I wanna celebrate with you." Jack says.
"I know but I doubt my parents would let me go." I say.
"I already asked." Jack says.

Because this silence isn't easy

"Jack I don't know." I say.
"Please? The silence isn't easy to deal with." He says and looks down at the floor.
"Hey, don't look so sad. You'll have the guys I don't think there's gonna be much silence with them." I say.
He just gives me a sad smile and looks back down at the floor.
"You don't want to go?" Jack asks finally.
"I do want to. I just, I haven't been away from home that long before." I say.

So I'll break it even harder than before

"I'll be with you the entire time I promise." Jacks says smiling at me.
"Okay I'll do it. I'll go with you." I say.

Because I'm 16 going on the end of my days
And if words aren't going to cut it then I'll find another way.

"Hey mom, can I go with the guys on tour?" I ask even though Jack already had.
"You want to go?" She asks shocked.
"Yeah, why?" I ask confused.
"Well, when we said yes to Jack we didn't think you would actually want to go." She says.
"I told him I was going." I say.
"I guess. But you're 16 and I don't know about-"
"Mom, there's going to be parents with us. I'll be safe I promise." I say
"Okay." My mom says and smiles.

Because I'm leaving what I know behind

"Knock knock." I hear Jack say and walk into my bedroom.
I was sat on the floor with my hair up in a messy bun and throwing together a suitcase for two weeks worth of clothing.
"Bring a few hoodies, maybe a jacket. Bring shorts and pants. A swimsuit if we go to a hotel." Jack starts.
"Got it." I say.
"Does this feel a little weird to you?" Jack asks.
"Does what feel weird?" I ask.
"It's like we're leaving everything behind. We're going on a tour." Jack says.

And I'm living out my chance to shine

"We are All Time Low and this next song is Dear, Maria!" Alex yells into the mic.
The crowd cheers.
Jack had been dragging me on yours for two years now and as cool as it was to travel I missed the simplicity of a normal life.

Like the stars now fading from your eyes

"Dude that show was AWESOME!" Rian yells.
"Did you see that girl in the front who had no top on?" Alex asks laughing.
"Hell yeah dude." Rian says.
Zack rolls his eyes and we make our way to the tour bus. I plop into my bunk and Jack follows closely.
"You okay?" Jack asks with a whisper.
"Yeah I'm fine." I say and give him a fake smile but trying to make it look convincing. I didn't want him to worry about me.
"No, tell me what's up. Your eyes don't have that shine they used to." Jack says.
"I don't know. Your gets crazy sometimes and I'm happy for you, I really really am. I just, sometimes I wish life was normal." I say.
Jack nods and thinks for a second.
"If you want to stay home next tour I understand. As long as you promise to visit once in a while. I know you're still friends with Lisa, I'm sure she'd love to hang out while I'm gone." Jack says.
"Thank you." I say pulling him into a hug.

And I hope you'll understand

Jack is leaving for another tour today. It's another "So Wrong, It's Right" tour.
"I'm gonna miss you so so much are you sure that you don't want to go with me?" Jack asks.
"Yeah I'm sure. I'm gonna miss you too and I'm gonna visit a few times so don't worry too much. Have fun. I'll come on the next tour I promise." I say.
"I love you so much gorgeous." Jack says pulling me into the tightest hug.
"Jack let's go. Now." Alex says.
"Okay okay." Jack says laughing and pulling away from the hug.
"I love you." Jack says.
"I love you too." I say.

Woah, woah, please wait till I come home
Woah, woah, don't turn my heart to stone.

There was one week until Jack gets home and I couldn't be more excited.
"Lisa, I hate to ask but could you help me clean up the house a little?" I ask shyly.
"Yeah, of course. Don't want Jack coming home to a disaster." Lisa jokes.
"Oh yeah, that would be just awful." I say.
We both get up from the couch where we were watching tv and start to clean up. It wasn't too messy. Just a little bit of clutter. There's a knock on the door.
"Probably mail, I can go get it for you." Lisa says.
"Hey!" I hear.
It's Jack.

Wow the runway lights are fading
With the darkness overtaking

"Where's (Y/N)?" Jack asks.
"Living room." Lisa says.
I run and practically tackle Jack in a hug.
"I missed you so much." I say.
"I missed you too. I have another tour next week." Jack says.
"What? When did you find out?" I ask.
"Uh, last week but I wanted to tell you in person. I've been gone for a month." Jack says laughing.
"I'll go, how long is it?" I ask.
"Two weeks. It's just England this time." Jack says.

I watch as Jack walks down the runway of the stage and yelling something about being better than Alex.

I'll leave you standing watching all alone
From that pane glass window one million miles away

"I do have an announcement for everyone actually." Jack says. "But I need someone to get onstage with me but she's, where is she?"
"She's all the way back there." Jack says.
"Hey, what are you doing all the way over there?" Jack asks looking at me and I just shrug. "All I got was a shrug."
The audience laughs.
"Are you gonna come over here?" Jack asks me.
I shyly walk on to the stage and meet him where he's standing.
"Isn't she gorgeous?" He asks into the mic he's holding.
The crowd awws at us and I laugh. I see Jack started to get down on one knee and pull something out of his jeans pocket. It's a ring.
"Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" He asks.
"Yes!" I yell and he stands up and pulls me into a hug and slides the ring on my finger. The crowd is yelling and I'm crying tears of joy.

And I'm sorry when i tell you
But I'm coming back someday

"I love you so much." Jack says.
"I love you too." I say.
"Guys she said yes!" Jack yells.
The guys are all smiling at us and the crowd starts to yell again.

Because I'm leaving what i know behind
And I'm living out my chance to shine

"Hey Jack, I'm gonna miss you." I say. Jacks 30th birthday was yesterday and today they were going on a "Last Young Renegades" tour. I would be staying home with our new baby.
"I'll miss you too." Jack says.
I kiss him goodbye and walk to the door sad to see him leave.

Like the stars now fading from your eyes
And I hope you'll understand

"You look exhausted."
I rub my eyes and look up to see Jack. He's home?
"Jack?" I ask.
"Hey, how were you? How's baby Barakat?" He asks me.
"The baby is good. When did you get here?" I ask.
"Not too long ago. I just dropped my stuff off in our room and checked on baby Barakat." Jack says.

Woah, woah, please wait till I come home
Woah, woah, don't turn my heart to stone.
Woah, woah, please wait till I come home
Woah, woah, don't turn my heart to stone.
Don't turn my heart to stone.
