No Regrets

Valentine's POV

Today is the day. Well, not my day. But still the day of someone. Or more. Okay, the day of Colussey's wedding. I was really exited, even though it wasn't my wedding. It'll probably take some time until I'll marry. But anyway. I was making myself ready in the bathroom. Putting some eyeliner and mascara on my eyes and was curling my hair. I was already wearing my dress, but I didn't put on my shoes yet. I just gonna put them on when Jack is here to pick me up. I don't want that my feet are dying more than they already had to. Such shoes really should be forbidden! They look beautiful but hurt like hell! I bet I already said it thousands of times, didn't I? Well, anyway. I put this hair-bow in my hair and checked my face for the last time in the mirror before I went down to kill my feet with the shoes. Ian was downstairs and searched something in the fridge. When he heard that I came down, he looked at me and wided his eyes. "Damn, Val" he said and nodded because he was really impressed. "Uh, thanks?" I said and smiled. I walked to the couch and sat down. The shoes were on the table. Those are my enemies. I looked at them evil for a long time until Ian sat next to me and looked confused at me. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Maybe when I'm staring long enough at those shoes, they'll hurt less" I explained still looking at the shoes. He shook his head and left. I smirked when he left and then took the shoes. "You're going to be on my feet for hours now. If you don't act stupid, I'm neither gonna act stupid, deal?" I said to the shoes. I took the silence as a 'yes'. I looked at the clock, it was time for Jack to pick me up. Or better, time for me to put these shoes on. I put them on my feet and carefully stood up. I didn't fall over! Be proud of me! I could walk without swinging, so I walked to the stairs. "Ian! Jack is gonna be here anytime!" I yelled upstairs. "Okay, have fun!" he yelled back. I smiled and walked to the couch, where everything was. Just when I grabbed my clutch, I heard the door bell ring. 'That must be Jack' I thought and went to the door. I opened it, and as soon as Jack saw me, his jaw dropped. "Holy fucking shit. Val, you look fucking hot" he complimented, still looking up and down on me. I blushed, like really hard. Oh, do I have to mention the butterflies in my stomach? "Thank you" I said and looked down on the floor. He was still looking at my body but then shook his head to think clear again. "Okay, let's go" he said and turned around. I followed him to his car and sat in the seat while Jack was already sitting in the driver's seat. "You sure you can drive?" I joked when he started the motor. Like you probably already know is Jack not the best driver. "Shhh, I'll never let a lady drive when she's that hot, even if I have to die" he said while pulling out the driveway. I laughed and then smiled at him. I didn't really look at his clothes until now. He was wearing a black suit, white shirt, black tie and black shoes. I have to admit that he looked hot indeed. I think this is the first time he wasn't wearing any skinny jeans. But it still looked good on him. "Where are you staring at? My dick?" he asked without looking away from the street. Normally I would have a good answer in my mind, but now, nothing. His hotness was distracting me. I damn you, hotness! I just blushed once more before looking at my hands awkwardly. Jack risked a look at me, because he was kinda surprised that I didn't answer. To break the silence, Jack turned on the cd-player and 'Up All Night' by Blink-182 blasted through the small speakers. "Mh, I LOVE that song!" I yelled to Jack and began to sing along, of course trying to imitate Tom Delonge's accent. Jack smiled and seemed to be glad that I was 'me' again. Just when the song finished, we reached the church and he parked his car in a parking lot. We both got out of the car and walked in the church. Most of the people were already here and sitting in their reserved seats. "Here they are!" I heard Alex say in front of us. Alex, Zack and Rian walked to us and hugged us. Rian was with Cass here and Zack with Sandy. Alex brought a blond girl which was like my height. So she wasn't really tall. Alex introduced her me as Lisa. I've heard of her... "Val, you can walk on those shoes?" Rian joked and pointed at my shoes. I punched his arm while the others laughed. "It's all because of your girlfriend" I said and Cass smiled at Rian. "Uh, I think we need to go our seats..." Alex said when we were the only ones that were standing yet. We nodded in agreement and sat on the seats which were left. I was (of course) sitting next to Jack and Cass. Cass kept looking at me and Jack the whole time. But of course she did it that only I could notice it and Jack not. What kinda surprised me was, that Jack suddenly put his hand on my thigh. I first looked at his hand and then up to him, to see him smirking at me. I didn't mind that. If I'm honest, I actually enjoyed this physical contact. When Colussey's future wife Kate walked in, with her beautiful white dress which lightly touched the floor, everyone stood up. So Jack's hand wasn't on my thigh for this moment. But as soon as Kate reached the end of the altar and her father delivered [I'm sorry for this word. but I couldn't translate the German word, I wanted to use, in English :S] her to Colussey, we sat down and I felt his hand on my thigh again. I could see from the corner of my eye, that Cass was smiling at me, when she noticed that. The ceremony was really cute and I could see in Colussey's and Kate's eyes, that they're really in love.

After the ceremony, we all drove to a really big restaurant to celebrate this wedding. All Time Low band and their chaperonage was seated on one table, near to the table of the Colusseys. Because it wasn't time to eat already, there was a band playing music and a lot of people already dancing. Okay, everyone was dancing except of me and Jack. It was a bit awkward, because of both watched all the couples dancing and then looked at each other and looked away again quickly. This kind of atmosphere was never between was until now. "You wanna dance?" Jack (finally) asked and held his hand to me. I smiled and took his hand. Together we walked to the dance floor and began to dance. It was really funny, because we didn't take the dancing serious. And yes, I could dance on those shoes! I have no idea how I managed it, but I did. We danced really long together. Then they played a really slow song. So Jack put his arm around my waist and I did the same with my arm. Our hands were interleaved and held up a bit. I blushed a bit at the sight of his perfect smile. We swung slowly in the rhythm of the song. I really enjoyed it to be that close to his body...but still wearing clothes. "Aw look how cute Colussey and Kate are looking together" I said to Jack when I saw the fresh married couple dancing together. "Their looks at each other are like the ones from Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus" Jack said. I laughed and put my forehead on Jack's chest. "Really, Jack?" I asked when I looked up to him. "Yeah, I'm sorry! But it's true" he said and looked in my eyes. "You know, Mark Hoppus was my celebrity-crush when I was a teenager" I admitted after a little moment of silence. "Oh hey, mine, too!" Jack joked which made me laugh again. "You always make me laugh" I said and looked smiling in his eyes. He smiled and deepened our eye contact. I looked at his lips quickly and then in his eyes again. His face was slowly coming closer and closer to my face. I wanted it. I wanted that our lips meet and I wanted to kiss him. I closed my eyes and our lips were just a few centimeters away. But then I heard loud squealing. We tried to ignore it and continue what we wanted to do, but then Jack's name was yelled. Together with Alex', Rian's and Zack's name. "OH MY GOD! ALL TIME LOW WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" four girls suddenly squealed. Jack and I pulled away in shock and looked to those girls. I didn't see them here yet. And it seems like neither Colussey nor Kate seem to know them. Eatch of the girls ran to a ATL member. So there was suddenly a black haired girl stranding in front of Jack and me. It seems like the girls crashed the wedding party and are fans of All Time Low. "Oh my god. Jack I love you so much! Can I please have an autograph?!" the girl yelled at Jack with a really bright smile. Jack was confused just like his other band members. I tried to cover my face, because she would probably know me, too. She turned her face and looked at me. Uh-oh. "Oh my god! Are you Val from No Regrets?! Oh my god, I love your band so muuuuuch!" the girl yelled now at me. I didn't know what to do, so I just stood there, starred at the girl and bit my bottom lip. "Who are these girl?! They're not invited! Can somebody kick 'em out, please?!" Kate yelled. Soon there were guys and pushed the girls out of the restaurant. But before, Kate lost her shit ever them. The girls seemed really guilty, that they crashed their wedding-party because they had all their heads down when Kate was shouting at them. After Kate was finished, the kicked the girls out and everyone began to talk about what just happened. "Wow...well...that was weird" Jack said after some moments. "Oh yes" I agreed and nodded. "Uh, I think I need to go to Colussey and...apologize" he said and pointed with his thumb in direction of Colussey and his wife. "Sure, I'll wait here" I said and smiled. He smiled back and then went to Colussey to talk to him. The rest of his band was already there and talking to him and his wife. I didn't want to wait there alone so I went to the table where Cass, Sandy and Lisa were sitting and waiting for the guys. When I sat down, I heard that they were talking about what was happening earlier. "That was really weird" Cass said and the others nodded. "How did they get inside anyway? I thought there are people who look that no one who isn't invited gets to the party" I asked them. "I heard that they told those security that they're nieces from Kate and they believed them" Sandy told. "Doesn't seem like good security" I said. We talked about this and other things until the guys came back and sat to us. "And?" I asked Jack when he sat down next to me. "Colussey is not angry, but Kate is a bit. Not at us though" he told. "Oh okay" I said. Just a few minutes later was time for the dinner. They served everyone the food and we began to eat it. This food was seriously fucking delicious. After the dinner and the desert, came the alcohol. The band was still playing and the bar opened. So you can say that everyone began to drink. And when I say drink, then I mean A LOT. ATL band and crew was of course really drunk. But I wasn't. I drank a bit but not that much. Everyone was singing and dancing around. I was with Cass standing on the side and watched all of them. "I saw you with Jack" Cass said and smiled at me. "What do you mean?" I asked, but I already knew what she meant. "You two almost kissed" she whispered so no one could hear it. "Yeah, I know. But then those "fans" interrupted us" I told a bit annoyed. If these fans wouldn't have interrupted us, Jack and me would have kissed. So what would we be then? "Maybe you can catch that up tonight" she said and smiled. I smiled back and looked at the guys how they were singing and dancing. "Don't let him slip away. He's a really nice guy" Cass said before she got dragged to the dance floor by Rian. I was then standing there alone and watched Alex and Jack dancing.

"C'mon Jack, I'm gonna drive you home" I said and tried to drag Jack to his car. "Noooo I don't wanna go yet" he said and refused to move away. "But everyone already left and the restaurant wants to close" I said. "Hm, fine! But I'm driving" he finally agreed. Good Jack was so drunk, so I could take his keys out of his pocket before he could take them. "Without keys?" I asked and held the keys in front of his face. "You know that you almost touched my crotch when you took the keys" he said and smirked at me. I rolled my eyes and dragged him outside. It was really freezing outside and I didn't take a jacket with me. When the cold air hit my blank skin, I rubbed my hands up and down my arms, trying to heat them up. Suddenly I felt a warm jacket around my shoulders. "I think you need this more than me" Jack said. I thanked him and put the jacket on. We walked to his car and I sat in the driver's seat. When I turned the motor on and drove out of the parking lot, Jack was trying to turn on the cd-player. "Turn the cd-player oooooon" he pleased like a little kid. I rolled my eyes and pushed the right button. 'After Midnight' by Blink-182 softly blasted through the speakers. Jack, the wasted dude he was, was singing along really loud which made me laugh. It just took us one song to reach Jack's house. I turned the motor off and got out of the car. Jack did the same and staggered to the door. I followed and helped him opening the door with his keys. When we finally opened the door, we went inside and I helped him walking up the stairs. Well, it wasn't really a "helping" it was more like 'C'mon move your sexy ass up those stairs'. When we reached his bedroom, he lay down on his bed. "Okay, so I gotta go now" I said and wanted to leave. But then I felt how Jack's hand grabbed my arm and pulled me down on his bed. I fell down next to him and he immediately pulled me on his chest and put his arm around me. "Well...I think I can stay a bit longer" I told surprised about what he just did. "I need someone to cuddle" he said and pulled me even more closer, so I was almost lying on top of him. I pushed my shoes off my feet and they fell on the floor. I was so glad to finally take them off. "Don't you want to take your shoes off?" I asked when I saw that he was still wearing them. "Nah, I can sleep with shoes on" he said. "Sooo....how long do you want me to lie here?" I asked after a moment. "You'll sleep here" he said and smirked. "Uh...okay then" I agreed spontaneous. "Goodnight" he wished and kissed my lips. It wasn't a long kiss and ended as quick as it started. Jack closed his eyes like nothing special happened. But I was really surprised about that. He never did that before..! And that's not what friends do. That's more than friends. But we aren't together. Maybe it was just because of the alcohol? Or did he wanted to continue what we started at the wedding? Jack was already asleep but I was wide awake. We're definitely not like normal friends. I mean, I'm lying in his arms and he just kissed me out of nowhere. Dammit, our relationship is getting weirder and weirder. "Jack? Psst, Jack!" I whispered and poked his chest. I wanted to clear that right now and not like the other times, just ignore it. "Hm?" he mumbled without opening an eye. "Uh....do you know that you just kissed me?" I asked quiet. "Yeah, I do" he mumbled. Eyes still closed. "Dude, you usually don't kiss a friend" I told and tried to pull away a bit. But this guy is stronger than he looks like. "I'm doing this all the time with Alex" he said and now finally opened his eyes and looked at me. "Yeah, but it's something different with me. I'm a woman and you're a man and we're not together" I explained. He looked at me and put his hand on my cheek. "We could be together" he said and made this side-smile. Wait, what did he say?!
