"Have you figured out a title yet?" Jack asks as we sit in my living room eating the cake we made yesterday "yea," I smile 

"Are you gonna tell me?" He laughs "You're just gonna have to wait to figure it out," I say and he groans 

"How about you just call 'Jack's songs' it's a great name," He says and I roll my eyes "You are bold," I laugh 

"And like I said not all the songs are about you," I say emphasizing the 'all' "If you'd let me listen to all the songs I'd know that," he says, ever since I showed him a couple of songs yesterday he has been nagging me to show him all of them, when he left last night he texted me about twenty times just asking

"You're gonna have to wait," I shrug and his head falls into my lap dramatically "How long do I have to wait," He says looking up at me 

"Well I think tomorrow I'm releasing the title and the tracks so you can figure that out but then you'll have to wait like a month to hear the actual songs," I say and he nods "You're gonna be like a full-blown rockstar after you release this," he says and I shake my head in disagreement 

"Yes you are, I can already see it now, Indigo Reid, playing alongside Taylor Swift," He says and I smile "That'll never happen but god it's good to dream," I say 

"Just from the three songs I heard, I already know that this album is gonna break records," He says and I smile down at him "There is no way I'm breaking any record but thanks," I say and he smiles and it goes silent 

"Indi," He says breaking the silence "Yea," I say softly "I'm sorry," He says and I look ahead 

"I know," I say lowly "No, like I'm so fucking sorry," He says while sitting up and I turn toward him 

"I know I'm here, with you, but I just feel guilty," He says and I sigh "Being with you is making it easier for me to forget about it Jack," I say 

"I don't want you to forget about it, I hurt you, you went through so much and that's not something you can just forget," He says and I look down at my hands 

"Jack," I start before setting my plate down "What I went through was because I was stuck in my head, I had convinced myself that you'd rather her than me, and now that I know it wasn't entirely your choice, that makes it more my fault," I say and he immediately shakes his head no

"It wasn't your fault at all Indi, you had no clue what actually happened so no it wasn't your fault it was mine for not talking to you sooner and telling you everything that had happened. I feel so entirely sorry that I had put you through that, I'm still in shock that you'd even want me in your life but I thank god that you let me explain it," He says with tears slightly forming in his eyes 

"I don't ever expect you to forgive me slowly but I will work at it every day until we can both find peace. I'm going to be here for you whenever you need no matter what, you need a little pick me up, I'll come here with a basket of your favorite food and then we can watch your favorite movies. You need someone to fucking I don't know learn another language for you so you can talk to different people, I'll do it. I want you never to feel the way you did ever again. I want you to know that you are worth more than anything and that you are still and will always be the most beautiful person I've ever seen," He says and I smile before pulling him in to kiss me 

He doesn't move his lips for at least ten seconds but then once he realizes that I'm not pulling away he starts to move his lips on mine and put his hand on my neck, after about a minute I pull away from him but rest my forehead on his 

"You do make a good point," I say breathlessly "Yea?" He asks trying to catch his breath also 

"I do forgive you, Jack, because if I didn't then I'd be living in guilt knowing that you break yourself down each say over what happened, and I care about you, more than I care about myself sometimes. So You're forgiven," I say and he smiles before pulling me back into another kiss
