No Regrets

Valentine's POV

"What do you think of this one?" I asked and walked out the changing room. I turned around so Cassadee could see me from all sides. She rubbed her chin with her fingers and shook her head. I let down my shoulders and walked back in the changing room. It was like the 5th dress I was trying on and it still wasn't the right one. Either I didn't like it or Cassadee didn't like it. "But this is the last dress I'm trying on!" I yelled out to Cassadee. "Yeah yeah, I know" she yelled back. I changed and walked out the room to see Cassadee's open mouth. "Dang it" she said, still with an open mouth. "What? What is it?" I asked and looked down on me to see if there's something wrong. "You look...hot!" she said and couldn't stop looking at me. I looked in the mirror and liked what I saw. This dress was really beautiful. It was actually a normal, rose coloured, strapless dress which reached to my knees. It didn't have a motive on it or so, it was just blank rose. I really liked it. "You need to take it! I really matches your hair as well" she noticed. I once more looked in the mirror and then walked in the changing room again and took the dress off and put my normal skinny jeans and t-shirt on. I stepped out the changing room with the dress in my hand and walked to the cashier to pay it. After I did that, we went to the next Starbucks to get some coffees. "Shopping is really exhausting" Cassadee said when we reached the Starbucks. "Yeah, it really is. But it's also fun" I said and smiled. We opened the door and walked to the counters and ordered our things. When we got everything, we walked to the next table and sat down. "Okay, what have we got?" Cassadee asked when she took a sip from her coffee. "Okay, we've got a dress, a bracelet, a necklace and a bow for in my hair" I specified took a bite from my cookie. "So, we need some shoes...Oh! I know a good shop where we could get a good pair" she told and smiled. "Good, so after we're finished here, we can go there" I said and smirked. Cassadee nodded carefully while drinking her coffee.
After our stop at Starbucks, we drove to this shop Cass told me about. It looked really luxury and pretty expensive. "You sure that that's the right shop?" I asked when she parked her car next to the shop. "Yeah, just trust me" she said and smiled when she got out the car. I shrugged and got out of the car, too and followed her in the shop. I had no idea where I should go, so I just continued following Cass. She's such an expert in everything that has to do with clothes. "Look at them!" Cass squealed and held a pair of white high heels in front of my face. "They look nice...but have you seen how high they are?! I can't walk on them" I told and took them, to look at them for a moment. "Nah, you'll learn it. It isn't that hard" she said and smiled. "What's your shoe size?" she asked when she looked at all the shoe boxes. "9 ½" I said, still looking at the shoe. "Wow, you have big feet for your height" she noticed and searched the right box. Yeah, that's right. That's in my family. All women have bigger feet than usually others have in that size. I mean, I'm about 5 feet 5 inches, so my feet are big. "Here! Try them on" Cass said and put the shoe box next to a chair. I sat down and took my Vans off and put the high heels on. I carefully stood up and could barely stand. Not telling about the walking! I really couldn't walk on them, it was hopeless. "I can't walk on them!" I said and sat back on the chair. "Oh, c'mon! I promise you, before the wedding, I taught you how to walk on those babies! But you need to practice at home, too" Cass told like a teacher. "But I'm moving right now. I can't really carry boxes around and walk on such shoes" I told and began to took the shoes off, because they hurt so bad! "Moving doesn't take a week. As soon as you're finished moving, we'll meet and then the first lesson begins, okay?" she suggested. I put the shoes back in the box and thought about it. "Well, okay" I agreed. Cass squealed and then hugged me quickly. "Okay, then let's buy those babies!" she said and dragged me to the cashier. After I paid, we went back to her car and sat in the seats. "So, what now?" I asked. We didn't need anything else and it's not really late yet. "High heels lesson one begins today!" she said, smirked and then started the motor of her car. "Whaaaat? Todaaaay?" the lazy-me whined. "Yes, today!" she said and drove out the driveway of the shop.

"That fucking hurts!" I whined. Cass shook her head and helped me to stand upright on the shoes. "Some when you'll get used to it" she said. "I get used to pain?!" I asked and almost fell on the floor. "Sssshhh, don't talk! You can't walk and talk" she told. My feet hurt like hell. Those shoes are like the most uncomfortable shoes EVER! But I can't go to a wedding with Vans or Converse. So I must learn to walk on those babies. And I think it'll take some time until I can it. Dammit.

"You did what?" Bob asked in between laughters. "That's not funny! My feet are fucking dead now!" I whined and pointed to my feet. I wasn't wearing any shoes right now, because that hurts too much. Bob was still laughing and almost falling off the bench we were sitting on. We were now at my new house. That means actually Ian's house but I just moved in here so it's now my home, too. And I had like 4 high heels lessons behind me and I can't really feel my feet anymore. But I'm getting better and better at walking! "Stop laughing!" I said and punched Bob on the arm. He calmed down and whiped his tears away. "If you would have to walk on such shoes, you would immediately fall over or break your ankle, so shut up" I told. He thought about it and then nodded. "Yeah, actually you're right" he admitted. A little pause before he spoke again. "Valentine, I wanted to ask you something" he broke the silence and sounded really serious. Oh, he's calling my full name, that means it's really something important. "Spit it out" I said and smiled. "I asked Sophie if she wants to marry me and she said yes" he told. I pulled him in a really tight hug. "Oh my god! That's so awesome!" I squealed and didn't want to let him go. "Yeah, and I um...wanted to ask you...if you...wanna be m-my Best Man? Or better Best Woman?" he asked. Wait, me?! "Oh my god! Yes! Of course!" I agreed and hugged him once more. "Oh my god! I'm gonna be your Best Man! I mean Woman!" I cheered and laughed. Bob laughed, too and seemed really happy that I was so happy about it. "Wait, does that mean that I have to organise a stag party for dudes?" I realized that "Best Man" actually means. "Uh, yeah, I guess" he said. "Oh, that's gonna be fun...!" I cheered, even though it would be a bit weird. But I love weirdness. "So, what are we gonna do now?" Bob asked to break the silence. "Hm, I don't know. Movie night?" I suggested and smirked. As answer he just smiled, stood up from the bench and walked inside. This guy is awesome. I followed him in the house and saw, that he was already searching a good movie. I went in the kitchen and searched for something to eat. I found cookies, ice cream and beer. You can never go wrong with beer when it comes to Bob. I walked with everything to the couch and put it on the table in front of the couch. I sat on the couch and Bob sat next to me. I seems like he chose a movie. "Which movie did you choose?" I asked when I took a cookie. "A classic: Walk The Line!" he said and took a beer. "Aw, I've seen this movie so many times!" I told and breathed out annoyed. "Oh, c'mon! You can never get enough from Johnny Cash!" he said and took a sip of his beer. Oh well, he's right. Johnny Cash is really good. And seeing this movie again maybe isn't that bad.

"Val, get up! In like 30 minutes we have to be in the studio!" Ian tried to wake me up. I moaned and buried my face in the pillow. I hate getting up early in the morning. Especially when it's earlier than 9 or 10. "It's too early" I whined. Ian began to poke my cheek with his finger. "Get.Up.Now" he said. Everytime he poked my cheek, he said a word. "Okay, in 20 minutes I'm downstairs" I mumbled in my pillow. "We won't be in 10 minutes in the studio. It's not that near" he said and I could hear that he crossed his arms. "Then call the guys and tell them that we're late" I told and waved with my hand to tell him that he should leave my room. I heard from his steps, that he left my room. I'm always annoying him when it comes to getting up in the morning. I just need so long to get out off this bed. When I was a teenager, I came a lot too late to school because I slept over and missed my bus. Then my Mom or my Dad always had to bring me. Those weren't great times, because my Mom always took the moment to tell me that I always should do what she wants and never release my real me. Anyway, I don't wanna think about this right now. I lay 5 minutes in my bed and then I finally got up and walked in the bathroom to wash my face. After that, I put some make-up in my face and brushed my hair and teeth. I knew, that there's no time to eat breakfast, so maybe I can somehow make that Ian and me are making a stop at Starbucks or so. Even though we're late. I walked to my closet and searched for some clothes. I chose black skinny jeans, a black, long tank tip and this grey AWG pullover I once got from Glamour Kills. When I got changed, I walked downstairs to see a really annoyed Ian leaning against the door with crossed arms. When he saw me, he pushed himself away from the door and took his car keys. When he already was about to leave, I quickly took my black converse in my hands and followed him outside. Just in my socks, I walked to his car and sat in the seat. Still annoyed, Ian drove out the driveway and drove in direction of the studio. "Jeez, you're still angry at me?" I asked when I was putting my shoes on. He just shrugged without looking away from the street. I rolled my eyes but smiled anyway. "Oh, can we maybe have a little stop at Starbucks? Just to buy some breakfast" I asked and closed my eyes because I was somehow scared of his answer. "What?! Are you serious now?! You know that we're late because of you!" he told angry. Yeah, he has every right to be angry, but does he want that I'm starving? "C'mon..! Do you want me to starve?" I asked and stuck my tongue out. He rolled his eyes. "Fine!" he agreed annoyed. I smiled because of my success. When we reached the Starbucks, Ian undid his seatbelt and got out of the car, without a word. Yep, he was probably angry. I shook my head and followed him. He can be really childish sometimes. In Starbucks, we ordered and bought our things. When we got everything, we walked back to the car and rushed to the studio. We were now like 30 minutes too late. Yep, actually just because of me. I'm nocent. I finished eating my cookie before we even reached the studio, but my coffee was still there. When Ian parked the car in front of the studio, we both got out and walked in the studio to see everyone sitting on the couch and waiting for us. "It's Val's fault! Fist she over slept and then we MUST buy coffee and cookies at Starbucks" Ian told the story. I shrugged and sat next to Steve on the couch. "Okay, now let's begin!" Jerry said and smiled. So, we began to record everything. In two days Alex was coming to record his part of the song. Until then we had to record everything else. And it's going pretty well actually. We all can stay longer at the evening when we need to, so we always finish the things we said we wanted to finish. We're like studio geniuses. [dammit, what's the plural of genius?!] We always finish things in the studio so fast, it's not normal. Maybe that's because we drink tons of coffee so we're sometimes really hyper. Ooooooor we're just genius. I think it's the mix of those two things.

[I didn't read through this one before I published it, like the others, so there are maybe more misspellings or some other things :) I didn't have time to read through it, because I'm uploading this from my Mom's shop, because I'm working here this afternoon and slept the whole morning, sooooo ^^ but I hope you enjoy it and listen to Johnny Cash, because he's awesome :D >http://youtu.be/jmHNfWRw-qg< please, comment, vote and whatever c:]
