Weightless [Jack Barakat]

Epilogue

Eleanor's POV

"Get in! Hurry, we're gonna be late!" I scolded Juliet as she got into my car when I picked her up from her Dad's.

"Calm down, sheez! The concert doesn't start for like two hours!"

"Yeah, but the meet and greet is only in an hour. We got the special tickets, remember?"

It was spring break, and both of us were home from college. All Time Low was playing a home show in Baltimore, and we got VIP tickets to surprise Alex and Jack.

"You know it would've been nice if you had said something like, 'Hi Juliet, I haven't seen you in four months, how's life? How's school? Get any interneships or apply for any jobs lately?'"

I rolled my eyes. "Don't be such a drama queen. I've called you on the phone almost everyday. Don't act like you're all deprived of me or something. I mean, I know I'm great, but you're kind of cramping my style."

In response all I got was a glare.

We arrived at the venue, and there was already a line of fifty or so kids waiting. We went to the end of it and were standing behind two girls who looked like they were fourteen or fifteen. One of them had purple hair.

"Oh my god, what if they notice us?" Purple hair said excitedly to her friend, who looked like she was trying her hardest to stay calm and not freak out.

"Well I would feel pretty crappy if they didn't because then I got a VIP ticket for nothing."

A guy wearing a yellow security jacket at the front of the line called for everyone's attention.

"Anyone who has a VIP ticket come up here and start another line. You can go in for a signing with the band in twenty minutes.

Somehow we ended up in front of the two girls when we finally were let inside, and they got into an intense conversation about how they wanted to marry Alex Gaskarth's face. I chuckled to myself and the line started to move forward.

Over all the excited teenager's heads I could see a long table set up with the guys. Zack and Rian sat at one end with a stack of posters, and Alex and Jack were next to each other on the other end. They had it set up like an assembly line. My heart spead up at the sight of Jack, and I couldn't help selfishly wanting the kids to hurry up so I could see him.

As we got closer I could hear Jack and Alex's conversation between fans.

"How can you disagree with that? Come on, I'm the cutest thing on this planet-like a little turtle. Add Eleanor, and we are definately the cutest couple," Jack said to Alex.

I looked next to me to see that Juliet was listening to them too.

We took another step, and in just a few short minutes we would see them face to face. All four of them were so engrossed with the fans, they couldn't pay attention to anything else. I loved seeing them like this.

"Have you seen my girlfriend? She makes me look ten times more attractive than I actually am," Alex argued back, continuing with who was the cuter couple.

I looked down and the table was in front of me.

Rian grabbed two posters and he and Zack signed them.

"How's it goin-holy crap," Rian stopped when he realized it was us. "What are you guys doing here? I mean, hi-do Jack and Alex know you're here?"

"Nope," Juliet said. "Surprise surprise!"

Zack grinned. "That's awesome!"

"Sorry," Rian said apolijetically. "But we have a schedule. Go see your boyfriends now."

"Good luck tonight," I said, and we moved on to Alex and Jack. Each of them went to sign our posters.

"OMG I ship Jalex so hard. Is it real? Because that would just be the greatest thing ever," Juliet said. She nudged me.

"Yeah, I mean really! Are you guys going to kiss on stage tonight? That would just be the best thing ever!"

They both looked up, clearly very shocked.

"What the hell?" Alex said, rubbing his eyes.

Jack laughed and leaned forward to kiss me. "Hi," he said.

"Hi," I replied, laughing.

Juliet and Alex kissed too.

the two girls behind us were also extremely shocked. Their jaws hung open, but neither of them said anything.

"Meet us after the show? We'll tell security to let you backstage," Jack told us, and we reluctently left to go find our spots before the stage.

As always, they gave an awesome performance, and security let us through to go see them.

We got sweaty kisses then met back up with Jack and Alex two hours later when they were clean and more calm.

"Ah, so romantic," Juliet said as she rested her head on Alex's shoulder. "You two really know a way to a woman's heart."

"We try," Alex said, taking a sip of our gas station wine.

The four of us sat on a blanket in the park, catching up. The wine was passed around, and we were told new tour stories in exchange for college life that they'll never get to experience.

It was close to one a.m. when Juliet and Alex decided to call it a night. Jack and I were left alone and I scooted over closer to him.

"Remember our first date?" He asked me.

I nodded. "How could I forget. Breakfast Club in the park.'

"Same place we are right now."

I looked up at him and he smiled, leaning closer to me.

Our lips met and I felt everything that I had missed out on all those years of not caring, of not feeling any sort of positve emotion. Those years I didn't get to live.

All the parties and experiences I missed in high school-which I actually didn't really miss-just didn't matter anymore.

Because in that moment, I felt Weightless.
