Stay for tonight
If you want to
I can show you
What my dreams are made of,
as I'm dreaming of your face
I've been away for a long time
Such a long time
And I miss you there
I can't imagine being anywhere else
I can't imagine being anywhere else but here


Ella paced across the wooden floor of her kitchen, her perfectly manicured hands clasped behind her back as her curly brown hair fell into her light green eyes. It was almost three in the morning and she couldn’t sleep-her laptop was set up on the kitchen table with the screen open and waiting for the call that she was worried would never come. Jake was over in the states, touring with the band and while Ella was happy that he was happy, she couldn’t help but miss him terribly. They were getting to a point in their relationship where someone was going to have to move and Ella knew it was probably going to be her.


“Babe?” A voice called out to her and Ella jumped as the silence broke and then she squealed as she looked at the screen and saw Jake’s face. God how she missed him-everything about him and even though they were apart, she still liked having these little moments together.

“Hello love! I miss you!” She said with tears in her bright green eyes and Jake only smiled as he ran a hand through his messy long black hair. He still had some make up on his face and Ella only smiled softly at him as she rested her chin on an upturned palm.

“Oh I miss you too Els. What time is it there for you?” He asked as he swept some of his hair out of his face and she only smiled at him. No matter what was going on in his life, Jake always worried more about her than anyone else.

“Nearly four. When are you coming to visit? I miss my Jake-cuddles.” She said, covering her mouth with a long sleeve and Jake only sighed heavily. He missed her, but he knew they wouldn’t see one another for at least another month.

“Maybe another month. I wish it didn’t have to be this way, but I can’t imagine being anywhere else than with you…you’re the only thing I think of when I get up in the morning.” He said and Ella could sense that he was near to tears.


Being away from the ones you loved sucked, but sometimes it brought you closer.



How the hell did you ever pick me?
Honestly, I could sing you a song
But I don't think words can express your beauty
It's singing to me
How the hell did we end up like this?
You bring out the beast in me
I fell in love from the moment we kissed
Since then we've been history


Jake smirked as he walked in to the bar behind Ashley-it was their first time over in the UK and Ashley had said that this bar was great for meeting girls. Being on the road with a bunch of guys had been lonely and Jake was always up for some female company, but he was nowhere near Ashley Purdy ready. No he just wanted to meet a nice girl, have a few drinks and maybe find someone to have a connection with. The bar they had just walked into was pretty packed and Jake kept his head down as they walked towards the bar and he heard Ash order them both a beer. Jake said nothing as he leaned against the bar, his back straight and he began to look around the room.

There were groups of people spattered around and as he scanned his brown eyes around, Jake couldn’t help but lock on to one girl in particular. Her hair was long, ending right around her shoulders, and her wide light green eyes were filled with so much life and laughter it made him want to join her. She was laughing with a group of other girls and Jake noticed that they were all similar-thin, with perfect hair, teeth and nails. They were all laughing, holding small glasses and Jake noticed that the girl he had been admiring had an almost empty glass. Quickly he asked the bartender what she had been drinking and ordered her another one.


“Hi.” He said softly as he walked over to the group and stood to the right of the girl with the gorgeous eyes. She looked at him over one shoulder, flipping her hair and he quickly got a waft of her perfume. She was even more gorgeous up close and Jake knew he was probably out of her league, but he had to try.

“Well hello there. Is that for me?” She asked him as she took the glass from his hands and then just smiled at him. Everyone else in the group seemed to melt away and soon enough it was just the two of them. The girl before him was wearing a skin tight purple dress and her long legs were made even longer by her high heeled shoes.

“Yeah, I-uh-I noticed your drink was getting low and I wanted to come and introduce myself. I’m Jake…” He held out a hand towards her and the girl only smiled and took it softly. She was gorgeous and as he stood there and looked at her Jake knew that she was way out of his league, but he had to try.

“I’m Ella. It’s really nice to meet you Jake…” She was smiling at him and their hands were still clasped together. They couldn’t take their eyes off of one another and maybe that was how things were supposed to be.



They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me


The sun was shining down on his face and as Jake popped open his eyes he squinted them closed before feeling around in the bed. Ella was nowhere to be found and it made Jake sad to see that she hadn’t slept in the bed with him last night. She was out in LA for a visit between tours and last night they had gotten in to it. She wanted him to tour less, but touring was part of his job, just like being naked was part of hers. He missed her while touring, but they had gotten together knowing full well what was going to happen and that they were going to be without one another.

Stretching, Jake soon got out of the bed and began to search around the floor for a shirt and some pants to put on. He could hear the faint sounds of music coming from the living room and so he knew Ella was up, but the music sounded angry and so he figured she was probably was still peeved at him. He didn’t want to piss her off, but Ella was usually quick to a temper and he never knew if he was stepping on a landmine with her or not. As he turned the corner of the hallway and noticed that Ella was running the mop over the kitchen floor, he could sense her anger and decided to approach her slowly.


“Hey babe.” He said softly as Jake approached and Ella was obviously ignoring him. She turned her back to him, her brown hair curling down her back slightly and he noticed that she had on one of his old ragged shirts. She wore no pants-obviously she had just gotten up and needed to clean to keep herself distracted.

“Come on Els…talk to me please.” He begged and finally Ella turned to face him, placing all of her weight on the mop in her hand as she looked to him. Jake was standing there on the edge of the carpeted living room and his bare toes were nearly touching her just mopped floor. Prat.

“What’s there to talk about Jake? You don’t love me…I get it.” She said as she turned back to mopping and smirked as she heard him sigh loudly and soon enough his tattooed arms were wrapped around her. She knew she was being unfair asking him to do less of his job, but she really missed him while he was gone.

“I do love you babe-your love is what keeps me going and if I could survive on our love alone I would do it in a heartbeat.” He kissed her neck, making her shiver and Ella only smiled as she turned around and placed her lips against his.

“I know and I’m sorry. I just miss you…” She said and Jake only smiled as he kissed her again and tangled his hands in her hair.


Their love was forever, but sometimes it broke and thankfully they both knew how to fix it.



It goes to show, I hope that you know that you are
What my dreams are made of
Can't fall asleep, can't fall asleep
I lay in my bed awake, in my bed awake at night
As I dream of you
I'll fall in love, you'll fall in love
It could mean everything, everything to me
I can't imagine being anywhere else


“Jake! Dude get some fucking sleep!” Someone called to him and Jake only smiled to himself as he lowered his hands from the ceiling of his bunk. He had been laying in his bunk, listening to music and he hadn’t even realized that he had been smacking his hands against the ceiling.

“Sorry man!” He called out to CC, who was in the bunk above his and Jake smirked as he heard his bandmate murmur to himself and then there was the shuffling of him turning over.


They were on tour-somewhere in the middle of the states- and Jake was missing Ella like crazy. They had only been dating for a few months and once the guys had left the UK, it had been hard for them to keep up a relationship but they were making it work. It was hard for him to sleep because every time he shut his eyes all Jake could see was Ella. Her hair, curling around her shoulders in that messy but beautiful way. Her eyes-light green and always filled with a mocking laughter. She filled his mind and so lately he really hadn’t been able to sleep very well. It worked for the music process because he was able to stay up with Andy, who was missing his own love interest Odessa, but still-it sucked.

Jake sighed as he pulled out his laptop, placing it on his chest and he could only hope that Ella would be around to talk to him. It was five in the morning where he was-she was eight hours ahead so she should be up, but it seemed like she was out as her skype hadn’t been logged in to since the last time they spoke. Surfing the internet was only so entertaining-tumblr and certain fanfiction sites were good for a laugh, but nothing would beat Ella’s jokes. Jake brought up his picture folder and smiled as photos of he and Ella popped on to his screen. The two of them together, smiling and laughing and it was strange to think that their relationship had evolved so quickly. The fans weren’t thrilled but he didn’t really care.

They had met at a bar, but it wasn’t a sleazy kind of thing. He had gotten her another drink, introduced himself and they had disappeared to a small corner and spent the rest of the night talking. Jake had then invited her to their show the next night and she had stood there on the side of the stage, cheering him on and rocking out with the best of them. He had never expected to fall for someone that night, but as they kissed backstage after he showered and didn’t stink of sweat Jake couldn’t help but feel like maybe this could be love. It was quick and some would say rushed and not thought out, but that’s what made it fun. Their relationship was very flawed, but again that’s what made it the best thing in the world.

They were themselves and they loved on another-their love was forever.



They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me


Ella sat at the kitchen table, her mouth held open slightly and she couldn’t believe her eyes as she scrolled through her Twitter feed. The fucking teens that followed Jake around and sniffed ass like it was the best thing in the world were beginning to annoy her. She usually just let them be, but now that they were attacking not only her and her relationship, but also Dess and Andy’s as well-fuck that. These little teeney boppers needed to fuck off and just as she was about to type in and respond to people, Jake walked into the room with a smile on his face. They had just bought a house together in LA and the place was filled with boxes-they had planned to spend the day together unpacking as much as they could.


“What’s going on baby doll?” Jake asked as he entered the room and then stopped. He could tell that Ella was pissed and one look at her computer screen he knew why. Andy had called him and warned him that the fans had unsheathed their claws once again and silently Jake moved towards the table and closed the top to the computer.

“Your. Fans.” Was all she had to say and Jake only smiled as he took a seat and grabbed for her hands. He loved this girl and loved her passion, but sometimes Ella Cole took things to a higher level than was needed.

“Babe-calm down.” He said and Ella only closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. He didn’t get it-he would always defend his fans and sometimes Ella just wished he would agree with her.
Dammit.

“No! No I can’t let this go! Did you see what they wrote about Dess?! She’s pregnant for god’s sake and they’re calling her terrible names…” Ella felt like punching something and the closest thing to her was Jake, but she wouldn’t hit him.

“Okay Ella, I get it, but Andy said he’s going to take care of it.” Jake said as he placed his hands on either side of her arms and Ella only sighed heavily. If Andy actually took care of this shit like he said he was going to then these fucking kids wouldn’t keep doing it.

“You know what just don’t Jake…stop making excuses for them!” She was yelling and he loved it when she got mad. Her nose got all scrunched up, her green eyes looked like they were on fire and she became completely desirable-not that she wasn’t normally.


Jake didn’t even reply to her, he just grabbed her face and placed his lips against hers. It was the best way to calm her down and he got something out of it in return.



The way that we are
Is the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know we'll be OK


Their fluffy sheets were soft and comfortable and Jake didn’t want to get up but he knew he would have to eventually. They were leaving today for yet another tour and sadly his new wife wouldn’t be able to come due to prior commitments. She was still sleeping beside him, all bundled under the covers with their dog Trixie. Jake smiled as he moved to curl closer to her, their body heat mixing and he knew Ella was awake, she was just playing possum. His arms wrapped around her waist and he could feel her heated skin beneath his own-this was heaven for him just laying here with her like this.


“Mmm…I see someone’s up.” She murmured without opening her eyes and Jake only smiled as he pressed himself closer to her. Ella’s hair smelled like peaches and Jake got lost in her as he rubbed his nose against the back of her neck.

“In more ways than one…you know I have to get going soon babe.” He said into her ear and Ella groaned sadly. She hated days like today-they started off so nicely and yet by the end she was left sad and crying.

“Can’t you just call in sick?” She laughed as he blew warm air against her neck and then smiled as his hands ran up and down her naked skin. She knew he had to leave and thankfully his bags were packed so they had some time to just be together.

“You know my job doesn’t work like that Els.” Jake said as he pulled her closer and then began to tickle her sides. Ella laughed beneath his touch and soon enough he was hovering over her, tickling her until there were fat tears rolling down her cheeks.

“I know but I really miss you when you leave…” She said, her voice sad and Jake wished he could stay here forever. Ella was everything to him and now that they were married he knew leaving her was going to be even harder.

“I know, but just remember that when I’m sleeping in that bunk at night that I’m only dreaming of one thing.” He said to her softly and Ella smiled as she looked into his brown eyes that were filled with tears.

“Oh and what’s that? Your newest guitar…” She crossed her eyes and they both laughed as he smoothed some of the hair away from her face.

“No-you. You are my dream Ella Cole Pitts and I don’t ever want to wake up.” He said before kissing her and Ella only smiled softly as their lips met.


Like most couples they had hit some bumps along the way, but they were in this together and their love was something that no one could take away from them.

It was forever.
