"What?" she asked.
"Not that." He said.
She looked at him through demanding eyes.
"Why? Don't you love me?"
"Oh course -" then Taylor started laughing. "Hey, isn't this supposed to be the other way around?"
Jade giggled. Then she laid down next to him.
"It's just that you're gonna be going soon. I'm gonna miss you."
Taylor started playing with her hair.
"I'll miss you too."

"So, do we have everything? And everyone?" asked Walker.
"Nope." Zac replied with a cheeky grin. "I don't think Alanna is here."
His father gave him a confused look.
"Of course she isn't here. She's not coming Zac."
Zac's eyes widened.
"What?" he asked. "Ike's actually not taking her with us this time?"
Taylor started laughing at the even more confused look on Walkers' face.
"He's talking about the guitar dad."
"Oh!"
Zac laughed.
"But seriously, I don't think Alanna's here."
"Yeah she is Zac." Taylor said. "See? Right next to Claudia."
"Ohh, ok. I see."
"Ok then. Lets get going." Walker looked around. "Say, where is Isaac?"
Zac and Taylor looked at each other.
"Umm, I think he said something about saying goodbye to Alanna." Taylor said.
"Alanna's coming with -"
"His girlfriend Zac. Not the guitar. Jokes' over."
"The joke is never over." Zac declared. "There he is."
"Come on Ike, we wanna go."
"I'm here, ok. Sorry I took so long."
Zac started laughing. They stared at him.
"What's so funny?" Taylor asked.
"Ike... Ike, you either have a secret life that none of us know about, or you've been kissing Alanna. You might wanna wipe your mouth." Zac chuckled.
Taylor snickered. Walker attempted to hide a smile.
"Oh yeah, that's it exactly Zac." Isaac replied, wiping away the lipstick. "I have this secret life, uhh, no."
Zac just laughed.
