A Warped To Remember

Movie Night

I walked back to Christofer and handed him his ukulele. I'm assuming Talia did the same with Jack's guitar. Christofer gave me a big hug. "Heaven, I'm actually so proud of you!" he hugged me tighter. Talia walked over holding hands with Jack. He was trying to ask her about the song. She was obviously a bit uncomfortable but I can tell she wants to open up. Jack smiled and hugged me.

"Hey! I've never got to talk to you before, but I'm Jack! You guys are amazing together!" 

I smiled, "Thank you! You guys are amazing together too!" I winked and made a gesture to Talia and him. Jack kissed her forehead and pulled her closer.

"Yeah I guess we are."

"So how about we get to know each other more and have a movie night?" Christofer suggested. 

"Yeah that would be awesome!" Talia and I said at the exact same time.

"As long as Home Alone is playing I'm in for sure. I bet most of the band would be down too!" Jack said thinking about it. We decided to go have a movie night in the All Time Low bus because they had a bigger flat screen. Alex, Jack,Talia, Christofer,Hayden,Rian and I were all getting comfy some on the floor and others on the couches. Christofer introduced me to Hayden.

"Oh I've heard a lot about you already" he said smiling.

"Really?" I said blushing, looking up at Christofer.

"YES!" Hayden began to mock Christofer,"Oh my gosh she's so perfect and beautiful and I want to be the one that always makes her happy!" He laughed so hard even after Christofer shoved him to the side. 

"HAYDEN!" Chrisotfer screamed. I looked over at Jack, Talia and Alex laughing really hard too.

"You must be in love" Talia chimed in.

"TALIA!" I gave her a glare. Just then Zack and Taylor walked onto the bus and we put the movie in.

I saw sitting next to Christofer. I rested my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his hands around my waist pulling me closer. It was crazy to think that I was fangirling over this guy yesterday, to the point of tears because I was meeting him and now here I am cuddling him on freaken ALL TIME LOW'S COUCH! Well I could say I would die happy right now.

Talia's POV

The movie finished and Jack and I laughed the entire time. Its great having the same favorite movie! I looked over at Heaven and Christofer and they were passed out. "Jack I'm going to take a picture of them, this is adorable." I snapped a pic and giggled. Hayden came up from behind me and tapped me on the shoulder. 

"We're all going to our bus to play video games, wanna come?" 

Jack replied first ,"Naw, we're actually going to try to get to know each other more! So maybe next time" he beamed. Oh no I thought. As everyone else went to the NeverShoutNever bus I walked to the back and got a blanket for Christofer and Heaven. Jack grabbed my hand and brought me to the back. Him and I sat down on his bed and he started to play with my hair.

"So tell me some things about yourself Tals?" he said softly.

Just breathe Talia... you can do this.

"What do you want to know Jacky?" I asked preparing myself for the worst.

"How many siblings do you have? Whats your favorite song? Color? Animal? What instruments do you play? How many kids do you want? What do you want ti be when your older?

"Well actually I'm an only child, my favorite song is either Lullabies, Amelia, On the brightside, miserable at best, hospital for souls, and can you feel my heart." I laughed, "I cant choose! ?Sorry I love them all!" Jack laughed with me.

"Its okay I know the feeling." He comforted me.

I continued," My favorite animal is a fox, I play drums, guitar, bass, ukulele, and I sing. Id like to have 3 kids, and I want to be in a band, I want to show them you can do it. Iot will get better." I whispered the last part. Jack kissed me on the forehead.

"You'll inspire so many people. I can tell you that right now. You have a story to tell, and people WILL listen." He went back to playing with my hair. "I know you rather not talk about it, but I want you to know that Ill be here for you. Okay? I know we just meet today, but you make me feel... alive. More alive then before, you made me open my eyes. Thank you. But honestly you can talk to me about anything, I cant let you beat yourself up about whatevers bothering you Talia." He said holding my hand and staring at my wrist. "I know you cut." He whispered.

I couldn't take it . I just started to cry and I tried to get up to leave to the bathroom. He shouldn't have to see me cry. He shouldn't have this on his shoulders. "Talia!" He grabbed me and pulled me into a long hug. He wouldn't let go no matter what. I cried for I don't know how long before he decided to let go.

 "I'm sorry about your shirt." I said and whipped my tears."

"Talia I don't care about my shirt! I care about you!" He said. We sat back down on the bed and this time I laid on his chest. "So do you want to talk about it ?" I stayed quiet and drew circles on his chest. "Do you trust me?" I looked up at him.

"Of course I do! I just." I paused. " I haven't told anyone but Heaven and one other person. They kind of told a bunch of other people at my old school. Let's just say It got worse.. Heaven found out by reading my diary. Before you laugh, my therapist told me I should write my thoughts and feelings out." Jack looked at me.

"I wouldn't tell anyone if you didn't want me to. Honestly I would write my thoughts down too. I don't go anywhere without them." Jack got up and grabbed a notebook and handed it to me. "Here read it. Even if its just a couple pages." He said and laid it down again. I started to read. Their was pages about him being confused about his sexuality because of all these Jalex rumors, some about how he misses his family, even how  he though he was a disappointment. But then I came across the last page and it read.

Hey me. Today I need you to remember that  most beautiful, kind,funny, and perfect girl came into my life. I dont know why but she just, she seems different more than everyone else. When you're dying, or loosing your memory Jack, remember today at Vans Warped Tour. Remember her blonde hair. Remember her sparkling green eyes. Remember the way she made you feel kissing her. Remember all this and I can guarantee you a happy death. ~Love Jack

I started to cry again. "Jack do you really think that?" I asked in a quiet voice.

"Tal, I know it. I don't now why but I feel as if this was planned. We were meant to meet today. I know  we were. Why else are we here right now? I believe everything happens for a reason, whether it be good or bad." he said and kissed my cheek. 

I breathed. "Alright. When I was 4 I was taken from my parents. My mom was a crack addict and my dad was an alcoholic. He beat me for the entire time I remember being with them, Then I went into foster care. Don't get me wrong, some families were really nice, but those were the families I was terrified about. They could turn their backs on me at any minute.. or they could be faking. Some families saw the scars and bruises and didn't want me right away. I was with a nice family when I was 13, I got really close to a guy named Zander. I trusted him with everything so I told him what happened. I showed him my scars." I choked but kept going, "He thought it was disgusting. He didn't want someone like me in his life. He told me to kill myself. And left. You could probably guess what I tried to do." I cried. " Then a really nice Lady adopted me when I was in the hospital but good things only last for a bit. When I went back to school after being in the hospital it was hell. Worse than before. Everyone called me an emo freak. People handed me their sharpeners for blades. Some people actually spit on me at recess and stuff. I didn't get it! I cried to my new mom that night. I never went back to that school. I've been a wreck since birth pretty much. Are you sure you want to be with me?" I asked with my eyes stringing with tears. 

"It makes me want to be with you even more. Not everyone's an asshole like that bitch Zander. I would never ever hurt you like that. Never. Okay?" He rubbed my back and I just nodded and fell asleep on his. As I was half asleep I heard him whisper, "You deserve the world. That's what I'll give you."
