Cecilia's POV:

I wake up randomly in the morning, I look around to see I'm cuddled up against Jack. I sigh happily, remembering everything that happened last night, and rest my head back on his bare chest. I love being this close to him, I feel so safe. Then it hits me, we are together now. Like, an actual couple. I smile to myself at the thought of last night and how perfect it was when he asked me out. No more denying my feelings for him, and honestly, it feels good to not reject them. I kiss at his chest lightly, not wanting to wake him up, but I adore him so much I can't help but kiss him.

"Hey Cece I'm ho-WHO THE FUCK IS IN YOUR BED? DID YOU HAVE SEX?!" Ally yells upon opening the door. I shoot right out of bed, falling to the floor, waking Jack up in the process. Oh shit. I look up at Ally as she frantically looks back and forth between me and the guy on my bed.

"What is going on?" He asks, scratching at his bed head. His voice is coated in sleep, making it sound so adorable, but now is not the time. He looks at me on the floor with a confused look, then over at Ally and his eyes go wide.

"Is-is that really Jack Barakat?" Ally asks uncertainly. She looks me up and down and sees I'm only wearing a t-shirt. Then she sees Jack doesn't have a shirt on. She definitely knows what happened last night.

"I can explain." I say with a sigh, running my fingers threw my sleep knotted hair. I get off the floor and stand there.

"WHAT IS JACK FUCKING BARAKAT DOING IN YOUR BED IN OUR DORM?!" This is the response I knew I'd get. She's on the verge of fangirling, I can tell.

"Take a seat." I say to her, running my fingers through my messy hair again as I sit down on my bed. Jack wraps his arms around me from behind, making me lean against him. This little gesture gives me the encouragement to tell her.

I explain to her everything, even how Jack saved my life. The past few months, vacation, full frontal, and last night (but not the sex), every single detail about us. She sits there with her mouth a gap, and Jack is just silent.

"We are officially dating." I finish off. Ally covers her mouth to hold back her scream.

"So you're his lucky lady?!" She asks pointing at me.

"Yeah, I guess so." I say looking up at Jack. He gives me a gentle smile and I return it. Our fingers are looped together, he gives my hand a reassuring squeeze.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Her voice holds betrayal.

"I tried to ignore my feelings for him, I really did, but I can't do it anymore. I didn't tell any one 'cause I didn't want to be used just because I know him and the band." Jack once again squeezes my hand, I never told him that. Maybe he could tell I was reluctant, so maybe he just knew.

"I would never use you, okay? I mean that's really cool and all but that is just being selfish. You're my friend, and I love just hanging out with you, but if they want to join I'm not complaining." She says with a laugh, making me smile. We talk for a little bit longer about nothing important, it's mostly about Jack and I since she is so curious about us. I like this new feeling of being somebody's, well officially someone's. And I like getting this off my chest, I hated lying to both of them.

"You know we are going to have to tell Syd." Ally says. This is the hard part. Sydney is thick headed and once she thinks something, it's hard to get it out of her head. It's also a good thing that she isn't too big of a fan of All Time Low.

"Yeah I know. Might as well get it done with now." I text her and ask her to come to our dorm because it's super important. She texts back a few seconds later saying she will be here. What an eventful way to start the day.
