as we pull into the restraraunt parking lot we spot atleast 10 paparazzi people outside with their cameras ready. "thomas-" "i know kid, just stay in the middle of us" he says as he opens the door for us.
i climb out last, clinging onto jackson's waist, as we walk past paparazzi they spot me. "hey annabel what's the deal with you and mads lewis? she posted a shady-"
"please dude not tonight" jackson says cutting him off before he could finish his sentence.
"who are you?" the paparazzi guy asks. "i'm her boyfriend now please, stop pestering her" he warns.
we rush inside to our table, jackson lifts me onto the bench, luckily there was a wall so paparazzi couldn't see us.
"bub, focus on your breathing, focus on my heart beat" he says placing my hand on his chest, i feel his heart beat.
focusing on it my breathing goes back to normal. he's rubs my back as i lean my head on his shoulder.
"what drink do you want?" he whispers as the waiter had came over. "water" i mumble.
"she'll have a water" he tells the waiter. "have a look at the menu, she's gonna come back soon" he says trying to hand me the menu.
i shake my head "i'm not hungry" i shrug. "baby you gotta eat" he says softly.
"i'll eat later" i tell him, once the food comes i lay my head on the table so jackson can eat.
"it's fine u can lean on my shoulder, im using my other hand to eat anyways" he says rubbing my back.
i lean back on his shoulder, closing my eyes. "she okay?" Bryce asks across from us. "just hates paparazzi yknow" Jackson says mouth full of pizza.
"cmon, just take a bite of this. you need to eat something" he says softly as he holds up a bit of pizza.
"okay" i nod grabbing his wrist softly as i take a bite. "there you go" he smiles as i chew and swallow it.
i lean my head back on his shoulder for the rest of dinner, taking small sips of my water.
"i'll draw the car round to the side of the building, just run down the side walk k?" he tells us before him and mia head out.
i squeeze jackson's hand, tightly as i see more paparazzi arriving.
"baby it's okay" he whispers rubbing my back. "jackson i don't wanna be a wimp but can you carry me out to the car?" i whisper as we head out seeing thomas's car drive by.
"ace can you run and carry her? i can't run for shit" he asks looking up at ace. "kristian can, sorry i'm kinda in a dress" he laughs.
"cmere kid" kristian smiles at me before picking me up. "you'll be okay with kristian yeah?" Jackson asks kissing my lips quickly.
i nod before hiding my face in kristian's neck as the all began heading out, paparazzi shoot up yelling over at us.
he quickly gets us in the cars as the others trail behind, as soon as Jackson gets in i cling onto him.
he rubs my back as i cry quietly. "big surprise tomorrow for the boys" Thomas says as he drives.
"no Thomas I'm not jumping off a cliff" ace says sarcastically. "we're all getting maid dresses" Thomas laughs.
