Maybe // Jack Grazer

53

"Shh!! Please just be quiet!! " Finn begged as the rest of us looked around to make sure it wasn't causing a surrounding crowd.

"OH MY GOD!"

We sent around nervous smiles and begged them to keep quiet with our eyes.

The small group of 5 crowded around us.

"Are you guys dating??" One asked while tugging on my sleeve.

"Can we take a picture with you, Finn?!"

"Sophia you're so beautiful, can you sign my phone case?!" One asked while thrusting her phone and a marker towards Soph.

"Can you tell one of my friends 'hi' for a video she's a big fan! It would mean so much!"

"Wyatt! Please let me touch your hair !!"

My head was spinning and this was only a small group.

Pictures were being snapped and more footsteps I heard coming our way.

I heard Jaeden let out a sudden curse under his breath realizing this was attracting more people.

"Valerie!! Are you dating Jack?! I mean it's pretty obvious but can we get it confirmed!!?" One asked while holding up her phone.

The boy I assumed that was with her spoke up, "They're not, there's no way he would want to hide the fact he's dating her." Even through the growing crowd and screaming fans Jack heard this and his head snapped towards the voice who it had come from.

"Ignore it." I whispered as I grabbed a poster a girl was waving around so he could sign it and handed it back.

"Can we get a picture, Valerie?!"

"Me?" I asked confused as two girls waved me towards tbem excitedly.

I moved my way through the small crowd towards them and stood between them as another friend had taken the photo.

"Thank you soo much! You're so sweet! We love you !" She said as the others nodded in agreement. And again they were on their way.

But why?
What had I done for that sort of attention?
Nothing.

Finn and Jaeden now stood on wooden crates trying to calm the crowd.

"Okay guys! We want to thank you for all your love and support but of course we want to try and make this quick , I know I'm sorry-" he said as the crowd began to 'aw'.

"But we want to make sure everybody gets a picture so as soon as you get one, then please enjoy the rest of your day and go have fun with all your friends ! " it sounded awkward but it was made up on the spot so props to them. Pictures and videos were taken while the crowd became smaller. Some of them did stick around though and that included the boy that seemed to irritate Jack and the girl who determined to get everything recorded.

"Come on! Lets go already ! I'm tired!" He complained.

"Shut up Cameron!"

I watched as the boys handled this in such a mature way and I felt myself grow so proud with the group of losers who were my friends, no doubt Chosen and Jeremy would've had handled the situation a lot better though.
The thought made me let out a small giggle and Jack looked down at me with a small smirk.
I smiled back and admired him.
The tip of his knows red from the cold and also making his cheeks a rosy color.
I was so close to standing on my tippy toes and landing a soft kiss on his cheek, but I held back.

I felt a tap on my shoulder as the same thing was being yelled at Jack by multiple people, "KISS VALERIE!"

I felt a pang of guilt.

I turned to face whoever tapped my shoulder and flahed a smile only to the face the boy who I now believed was Cameron.

"Hi, mind if I get picture?"

"Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!" the crowd continued to yell.

"Course not." I said as he slipped his arm around my shoulder. I felt Jack's eyes on us and the sudden need to pull away, it was only a picture after all.
Until it wasn't anymore and Cameron was now holding out a slip of paper.

"Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!"

"Fuck it." I heard Jack mumble as I felt him tug on my arm pulling me away from Cameron to face him as his hand slipped behind my neck and the other on my lower back. As soon as his lips had crashed into mine, I melted into him.
His lips were soft against my own and the yelling of the crowd sounded distant, all was forgotten.
His tongue brushed against my bottom lip as reality had set in again and the sound of pictures being taken had pulled us back down from the cloud we were floating on.

And then regret.
Because our faces were about to be plastered everywhere.
And in that moment we didn't even care.
