A Friend Of A Friend

Chapter Sixty Four

Chapter Sixty Four:
Countdown

~POV: Jaiden~

Nine days later, my family and friends from home started arriving. Friends stayed at hotels, while my family stayed with myself and Aaron. They had all just settled in when my dad ran in.

"Where's my beautiful little girl?" He yelled.

"Dad!" I yelled. I ran and hugged him tightly. "How've you been?" I asked him, slowly releasing him.

"Fantastic! I'm glad to see that you've gotten everything done so quickly." He admitted. I nodded.

"Hard work, and abuse of Ben." I joked. He laughed.

"Come on, I want to see the groom." Dad said, putting his arm around my shoulders. Mom's side of the family rushed around, ignore me and my dad. Aaron stood amazed at the end of the hall. I motioned for him to join us. He managed to get over to us.

"I'm stunned at how they work." Aaron said in disbelief. I smiled. "Good to see you again, Robbie." Aaron greeted my dad.

"Good to see you, too, Aaron." My dad said.

"Jaiden!" I heard my mom call. I walked back to my room where my mom was. She held up my wedding dress. "Where do I put it?" She asked.

"Closet. Aaron had strict instructions not to go near anywhere in my room for a bit, anyways. At least until we're in our bedroom." I smiled at the thought. Mom put the dress away and walked out.

"Robbie, good you're here. The rest of your family?" She said, referring to his mother and father. Them only were invited.

"Arriving soon." He reported. The door flew open. Nobody has time to register what was happening until I was on the floor with all four of the All Time Low boys on me.

"Boys!" I screamed.

"Jaiden!" They screamed back. They got off me and Zack helped me up. Lisa and Casadee stood at the door.

"Hi, ladies!" I greeted them. They hugged me and the house was back in madness. "Lisa, was it this stressful at your house five days from your wedding?" I asked her. She laughed.

"Jaid, I was in state. Your entire family is across the States. It's bound to be way more chaotic than normal." She said. I sighed.

"Send me Jesus Vibes, cause I'm in need of them already." I said. She laughed again.

"JENNA!" Aaron yelled over the chaos. He made his way through people and got to me. "I'm going to start opening the gateway to my apartment too to get rid of some of the chaos, especially since your dad got a text saying that his parents are on his way, plus my parents are, too." Aaron said. I nodded. He ran across the street.

"HEY!" I screamed. Everybody stopped and looked. "Thank you. Aaron's apartment is over there, too. Jack, Zack- my music room. Stuff is set up. Jack you know where the key is. Rest of ATL, I'm sorry, but I'll see you later. Mimi, Pappy, and boys, across the street. Tasker's are staying with Shayley and Jordan. Mom, Dad- the guest room with the two bed. Abby and Ben are staying in the other guest room. Everybody got this? Okay. Good. Move people, move!" I yelled. Lisa nodded.

"I am impressed. Good luck keeping them calm the day before the wedding." Lisa said before she left with Alex, Casedee and Rian.

Jack got the key, he and Zack put their stuff in the room before locking the door again and putting my key back. Everybody listened and finally, Pauley's and Tasker's showed up. Aaron and I hugged his parents and I hugged my grandparents while he shook their hands. I laced my fingers with Aaron's as they walked into the kitchen where everyone was. He pulled me close to him.

"Can't we just elope and not suffer like this?" He asked. I grinned and shook my head.

"We're in too deep." I said. "We missed our shot." I joked. He leaned forward and kissed my lips. I heard a camera go off. We broke away and turned to see our moms and Adam Elemakis standing there, Adam with a camera in hand.

"Adam! How are you doing?" Aaron greeted his old friend with a smile and a hug. I hugged Adam, too. He quickly went over what he wanted to do with us in two days before kissing Aaron's head and leaving.

"Let's go be social." I complained. Aaron laughed and kissed me one last time.

"Come on." He said, pulling me into the kitchen. We talked to our family.

After awhile, we all broke apart, to go to the beach, explore the city, or just sleep. Aaron and I left to go walk the beach. We got down there and took off our shoes, leaving them in the car. We walked down the beach, holding hands.

The sun was slowly setting over the sea. I swung our hands back and forth as we walked along. Aaron smiled and shook his head, his fringe falling in his face a little. I stopped us and faced him. I gently pushed his bangs out of his eyes. Since he had gotten a hair cut, he looked better and less shaggy.

"There we go." I whispered. He put his hand on my hip and pulled me closer to him. I put my hand against his chest. We both started leaning in.

Our eyes flicked from each other's eyes to their lips. When our lips finally met, we let go of everything- the stress, the anticipation, the anxiety, the frustration, nerves, fear, everything. It was just us being in love. But only for a moment that went by too quickly. We broke away for air a few minutes later.

"I can wait, as long as I get you in the end." Aaron whispered. I smiled.

"Just a few more days." I sighed. Aaron grinned.

"I can't wait for our honeymoon. I'm packing for you." He said. I giggled and nodded.

"Okay." I whispered.

"I love you, Jaiden." He said gently.

"I love you, too, Aaron." I said back. He kissed me one last time before we continued to walk the beach.
