Jacksons pov
"Hey stay strong for me. Stay safe. Have fun with your family. Enjoy your time without me breathing down your neck."
"What if I like you breathing down my neck."
"Aww I'm sure you do baby but no longer. We will be back together in 4 months and then nobody goes on tour for a few months thank god and we will be back forever." She wrapped her arms around my waist hugging me tight.
"I'm going to miss you so much baby."
"Me too."
"I really hope you have fun ok your although I know it'll be hell without me." She jokes and I fake roll my eyes.
"I'm joking you'll have a ton of fun meeting a ton of fans on your big arena tour with all of those big names and your cute ass tour suit. And your cute ass man bun with your cool ass microphone moves and your cute ass, ass. And your cute ass face."
"Wait go back did you just call my ass cute?" I ask with slight amusement. She places her hands on my ass.
"Yes I did."
"Woah a little role reversal here."
"Excuse me."
"I'm usually the one who always wants to squeeze your ass." I slip my hands into the back pockets of her jeans giving her ass a squeeze.
"Babe my parents are watching." She says causing me to look and see her entire family peering through the window. Her parents and her siblings plus Sandra who just won't go away.
"Okay okay!" I took my hands and cupped her cheeks.
"Here's the deal beautiful. You will have fun. You will stay safe. You will not be mean to people. I know your period is coming up and you will not exploit that to get things out of people. You will not cry. You will not pout, I don't want to see a blemish on that beautiful skin so no fighting with Dinah. I swear to god one day you're going to break each other. You will be the best person you can be and you will not look at hate and if you do you will ignore it and move forward. You will speak...with...Jesus you're so breathtakingly gorgeous. I can't focus." She blushes and smiles at me.
"That was sweet." She bites her lip a little bit.
"Now you're going to bite your lip. Laur why are you doing this to me? God you're so beautiful and dorky and yet so fucking sexy at the same time."
"Babe stop Im blushing."
"Hey I will never stop telling the truth that is against my ethics." She giggles. I stare into her eyes.
"Please please pretty please stay mine forever."
"I promise."
"God I can't wait till we have kids with your beautiful green eyes which would mean you'd be my gorgeous wife. Which would mean that you didn't leave me for another guy which is a dream come true."
"Hey I'll never ever leave you for another guy. Except maybe like a young Johnny Depp ooh so maybe his son."
"Stop..." I kiss her.
"Talking..."
"About..."
"Leaving..."
"Me..."
"Alright ok babe you better get going to your flight before you miss it."
"I should but first I'm going to kiss you." She leans up on her toes and connects our lips together then placed a hand on my neck pulling me in for a closer more passionate kiss. It was something out of the movies. We separated much to Lauren's dismay. She pulls me back down for another kiss and wrapped her arms around my waist and my shoulder area getting really close. Then we finally separated.
"That is something I'm going to miss."
"Good me too. Now you really better hurry." She pushes me back towards the car.
"Okay bye I love you."
"Yeah me too. Go." I laugh and get into the car and watch her as we drive off. Man I can't believe that the next time we're together that I will be proposing to her. This is absolutely insane. How did I get so lucky. Now to continue my phases of my proposal it's going to be so cool.

Some weeks later~
I was going to meet Big Rob at a cool futuristic restaurant to get Sofi. We're spending the day together so that we can build our relationship. The car rolled up and she jumped out of it and ran straight to me. I picked her up in my arms in a huge hug.
"Hey Sofi!"
"Hey King Jack."
"Let's go inside." I know that the girls left for Dubai two days ago. They're filming their new music video. The fandom is excited. We went inside and sat talking about her school life and about the bullies and laughing and having a good time then we went to the arena. We hang out backstage until the others get here. The younger Jauregui sister arrived next and immediately we started playing some music and dancing around and being stupid. The Jauregui family arrives later then the Cabello family. Sandra arrived later. I forgot invited her. Then Tori and Demi came to hang out. We started singing Hamilton the musical soundtrack. It's amazing. I want to see it so bad. Taylor knew the whole thing just like me. Sofi knew a lot of it as well. We rapped to Alexander Hamilton and Guns and Ships perfectly together. Then we sang the Schuyler Sisters and that one was a lot of fun. After a while it was time for me to get ready so the rest of the families besides Taylor and Sofi and fucking Sandra stayed back in the dressing room with me as I got ready. There was music playing while I had a conversation with Sofi. I got changed then got my hair finished so it was gelled back well. I looked good as always. When it was time to go out the girls patted my back as we walked down the hallway. We made a prayer circle just before I went up. When I was on stage I sang all of my songs and then brought Demi up to sing Yes. I had a surprise guest with me today. He came on stage and everyone freaked out. It was my good friend Maluma. Nobody really knows except my tutor Camila but I learned Spanish. I snag along to his song with him called Carnaval. It was fully in Spanish and I was really proud of my self. I enjoyed every minute of that. I stopped in the middle for my something special talk.
"Hey everybody. Miami in the house! Yeah! So that was my buddy Maluma. He's an awesome guy go buy his album pretty boy dirty boy. Now I need to thank three people for that. I want to thank my tutor Camila, the founders of Rosetta Stone, and Maluma for teaching me that song. Now as many of you know, but some may not, this part of my show is called my something special talk. It's when I talk about something important and whilst that happens my scout is in the audience looking for the one lucky fan who will get to be my angel for tonight and gets serenaded by me. So now for the talk. I want to talk about love. Love is awesome. Trust me it's amazing. Love comes in many different forms romantic, familial, friendly, idolization. It's everywhere and in every relationship. Having someone who you feel comfortable around and who makes you feel yourself, someone you can say they have my back, when I'm down they will pick me back up it doesn't matter what time of day or what happened they just will. Love is a feeling and it's an amazing feeling. If you beleive that you can't be loved, that's not true. If you open your heart and allow love to take it over then you can truly feel it. Love can be from a girlfriend/boyfriend or a parent or sibling or cousin or aunt and uncle and love can be between friends as well. You can love anyone you choose. It's just a matter of will you let them enter your heart. So to all of you out there. I love you. I love you so damn much. Every last one of you." They all clap then they bring up my Angel of the night to whom I sing my angel and then end the concert. I went to my dressing room and got ready for the after party. I got changed into a more comfortable outfit then I headed over there. I walked in and hugged people while getting numerous congrats and positive comments on my show. After hanging around a bit I needed to talk to Mike so I invited him on a little walk.
"Ok Jackson what's up?"
"Uhm I know you don't particularly like me dating your daughter or just like me in general and that's ok. I really love her and I really want to make her life the be it can be and treat her like a queen. I want to make her happy and I know of one thing that me and her both want that can make her happy."
"Ok and what is that?"
"I wanted to know if I could get your blessing to ask your daughter to marry me?" He stops walking and I begin to get nervous.
"Jackson I don't necessarily like you but you make Lauren very happy she was very depressed before she met you. She enjoys life now and she does things and she laughs and smiles. You did that for her. I saw it even when she came back home from Hawaii. Even when she was coming back during the tour then I learned it was you who did that. You treat her like royalty an that's all a father could ever ask for his daughter. So as long as you promise to never hurt her and never break her heart to pieces then you have my full blessing." A wide grin spreads across my face as he says that and I just throw away my inhibitions and my common sense and I go in for a hug. He awkwardly pats my back.
"Thank you sir. You have no clue how happy that makes me. I'm so happy."
"Now tell me how yore going to propose it must be up to my standards."
"Ok so what I'm going to do is..."
I tell him in detail my plans, I ask him to keep it on the DL because the proposal is in three months. I decided then to also ask Chris. I was going to have to wait for that. Also couldn't tell Taylor. Dinah and Taylor both knowing plus Camila. That's a disaster waiting to happen.
