Now Remembered. But For How Long?

*Jake's POV*

"Ashley hurry your ass up we're going to be late for sound check" I yelled from the other side of Ashley's dressing room door. God he is so slow. I walked to the stage and saw Juni and Sammi talking. I went over and snuck up on Juni. Sammi saw but I shushed her. I picked Juni up and bear hugged her.

"Jake You Asshole!" Juni yelled as I threw her over my shoulder and walked to the stage.

"I love you too Juni." I hugged her and went to grab my guitar and a custom guitar that I got for Juni. The guitar is red with a batman logo, a wolf tiger that looks like it will rip someone to shreds, angel wings by the neck and black lettering that says 'Never Give In Never Back Down'. She said it was her motto and we ended up making a song with her motto. It's her early birthday present since her birthday is tomorrow and Andy wanted her to play and sing with us at tomorrow's concert.

"What's in the case?" Juni pointed to her gift as I put it down and sat down as I tuned my guitar.

"See for yourself."

"JAKE OH MY GOD!!! YOU- HOW DID YOU AFFORSD THIS!!!" I put my guitar down, got up and Juni came running over to me.

"I fucking love you." Juni mumbled into my chest.

"I know. Happy early birthday Junipie. I love you." I smiled and rubbed her back.

"She saw it?" CC came out and asked. Everyone but Juni knew about the guitar.

"Yea! And I fucking love it."

"Don't cry or else you're war paint will get ruined and that shit took me forever." I looked at Juni who just hit my arm.

"Asshole. I'm not a baby."

"I've noticed that you say asshole a lot that and the word Fuck or anything with the word fuck." CC looked at Juni.

"Why do you all fucking mess with me? I can easily beat you up. Go bite yourself in the ass." Just then Jinxx came out.

"Hey I haven't done shit to you." Jinxx put his hands up in defense.

"I know. That's why you're my favorite." Juni left and hugged Jinxx and stuck her tongue out at me.

"You are so mean. I can take the guitar back and give it to Ash." I looked at Juni deviously.

"NO! Last time Ashley took my guitar it smelled weird and I refuse to touch it." Juni had shock in her eyes. The guys just laughed.

"I will give it to him if you admit that I'm the best person in the world and no one compares."

"Why should I?" Juni said narrowing her eyes at me.

"Ashley!" Ashley ran onto the stage. I had her guitar in my hands.

"You wouldn't."

"I would." I slowly started passing the guitar to Ashley. The CC stood next to Ashley.

"THAT'S IT!! YOUR FUCKING ASS IS MINE!" Juni yelled at me as she ran to me. CC took her guitar and Ashley took my guitar on the floor.

I was tackled to the floor and me and Juni started fighting. Sammi just stared and Andy came out and started chanting "Fight! Fight! Fight!" Soon all the guys were chanting. Then our tour manager John came out and yelled at me and Juni for fighting.

"Can you two go one show without fighting?"

"Nope." Juni smiled.

"Have you guys rehearsed at all?"

"We were just about to." Andy interjected.

"Okay." John walked out.

We practiced a bit and then went back to the tour bus. Sammi went to take photos of the venue and the scenery. Jinxx was talking about proposing to Sammi in June which is next month. Wow, time flies. They've gotten pretty serious too, so it's the best thing for them. It's almost like they were made specifically for each other. It's crazy. The BVB Army kept saying that Juni and Andy were soul mates but it wasn't true. They were together for a long time though. Andy even said that he dated her because he loved her not because he felt bad for her. Oh did I tell you that I'm dating a UK model? Whoops. Her name is Ella Cole. Can I just say that I love her. She's the best.

I left my bunk and sat on the couch. Juni and CC were playing COD: Black Ops on the XBOX. From the looks of it, Juni was beating CC's ass.

"How the fuck are you so good at this?" CC put his controller away once the game ended.

"I dunno. It's not that hard once you learn some basic shit and a few tricks." Juni went and sat next to me.

"Hey Jacklepuff. You ready for tonight's show?" Juni asked.

"Always am. It's the best thing ever."

"How's Ella? I haven't heard from her in a while."

"Good. She's doing a photo shoot right now, but she should be with us for Warped."

"Cool."

"Yea…" I trailed off. Wow. Juni is turning 22 tomorrow, Jinxx is gonna propose, I'm dating a UK model, Ashley is still Ashley, Andy is so happy that this is all true, and CC is dating finally. His girl Lauren is the best for him. They have the weirdest yet loveable relationship ever.

"What's wrong Jake?" Juni leaned her head into my neck since I was slouched on the couch.

"Nothing. It's just that time has gone by so fast. We got signed, you're almost twenty two and we found you, I'm dating a UK model, CC is dating Lauren, Andy is so proud that his dream is a reality, Jinxx is planning to drop the bomb next month and well Ashley hasn't changed but he is really happy." I held Juni close. Its times like these I'll remember the most.

"You're right. Jake, can you promise me something?"

"What is it Junipie?"

"Don't ever lose me again. If you do you better hurry your ass up and find me the minute you know I'm gone. I want these moments to last." Juni sat on my lap and laid her head on my chest. She looked like she was going to cry.

"I promise I won't. Never again. I hated myself for not trying hard enough. I will never let you go. Never again. That is something I can promise you. I love you too much to let you go like that. I love you more than I can ever scream." I hugged Juni and rubbed circles on her back.

"Using your own song lyrics, really? God you can be so fucking cheesy at times. But I guess it's another reason I love you. You big Jacklepuff." She hugged me and just shut her eyes smiling. It was silent for a bit until my phone started ringing. It was Dad. I went to my bunk and picked up.

"Hello."

"Jake. It's Dad. Have you and the guys planned anything for Juni tomorrow?"

"Not really. I mean other than the concert we just planned on going out to lunch with her. Why?"

"I'm coming to see you guys, I feel bad for being such a bad father that I want to be there for her twenty second birthday. I know how much she misses Mom, so I got her an angel winged shaped locket with a family photo of ALL of us and then just one of her and Mom."

Ask for the chain necklace with my ring. It's my birthday gift to my baby girl.

"It sounds perfect. I think she'll be really happy to get it. Do you still have mom's old necklace? The one with the ring on it."

"Yea. Why?"

"Just bring it with you. I think Mom would want Juni to have it." I smiled.

"Alright. Are you guys in Denver today?"

"Yup. We'll be home by eight am tomorrow."

"See you then. You're doing great son. Thanks for helping with Juni"

"Thanks. Bye dad."

"Bye Jake." I hung up. And just sat in my bunk thinking. That necklace was mom's favorite. I remember Juni always asking Mom if she could wear it.

You've done good son. I'm proud of you. I love you. I will be with all of you tomorrow. I just hope your father doesn't get paranoid. I'm going to check on Jinxx and Sammi.

Speaking of Sammi. She's been gone for a while now. I hope she's okay.
