Jennie's POV —the day before the wedding—
I haven't seen Jack in a few days and it's weird. We've FaceTimed and crap and just talked about the wedding. And now that's happening in..like 16 hours. It's 12:20 at night and I cannot go to sleep. The girls are sleeping over at the house then we'll leave here about 2 or so and head to the venue. Tossing and turning, I decide to text Jack.
Me: are you up?
Almost immediately I get a text back
Jack☺️: yes ma'am, what's up?
Me: I don't know tbh, I just can't sleep
Jack☺️: your nervous Jennie, everything will be fine
Me: ik ik, I'm just scared, and I haven't seen you in forever 😂☹️
Jack☺️: you saw me like three days ago 😂 but I understand where your coming from, I mean I was going to sleep but I'm scared too.
Me: are all the boys asleep? The girls are
Jack☺️: I think Johnson and Derek are still up but other then that, Yea they are asleep.
Me: ughhhhh, I guess I should then too
Jack☺️: that's probably best 😂
Me: shut up, I'll see you tomorrow 😂
Jack☺️: okkkkk, Goodnight And Love you
Me: Goodnight, Love you too ❤️❤️
I turn my phone off and set it next to me and sigh. I then close my eyes and attempt to sleep.

—1:48 pm—
"We need to go girls!" Mollie calls
"Coming!" Sarah calls running down the stairs with the girls behind her.
"Let's go." Mollie says openin the door and then we all walk out to her car. Everyone gets in and then we head to the venue. I find my leg starting to nervously bounce. Sarah puts a hand on it and gives a reassuring squeeze.

We reach the venue and I see my moms car and Kathrine's. Jazlyn grabs my dress and we all grab something else then head up to the dressing room. Once we reach it, my mom and Kathrine hug me.
"Today's the day." Kathrine says and I nod smiling.
"Well come on. We don't have all day to get ready." My mom says and I nod. Jazlyn takes my dress out of its cover and sets it on a hook. I smile looking at it.
"You made a good choice." Kathrine tells me and I nod. The girls help me put the dress on, I put on some nipple covers cuz I can't wear a bra with this.
"Comfortable?" Mollie asks and I nod looking in the mirror
"As comfortable as a heavy wedding dress could be." I say and everyone laughs. I sit down and Jazlyn tucks a towel in the top part of my dress so Sarah could do my makeup while the others get ready.

As Sarah finishes with a touch of lip gloss, there's a knock on the door. My mom answers it and I hear a frantic Johnson
"Where's Jennie?" He asks and I quickly get up and walk to the door
"Jack left. He said he couldn't do this to you, and he's leaving." He says and I look at Kathrine and my mom.
"Jennie no-" but it's too late. I'm already out of the door and down the hall, holding my huge dress up as I do so. I see Jack in his suit and sigh. I'm not late
"Jack!" I exclaim
"Jennie. Don't." He says not turning around.
"Jack please." I say and he stops and turns around. His eyes light up as they land on my dress. Like I said before, this was Jack's favorite dress. Which is why I wore it. I finally reach him, out of breath of course and sigh
"Why are you leaving?" I ask in a breathy voice
"I can't do this too you Jennie. Your 18." He says and I shrug
"And?" I ask
"And I just can't ok?" He responds. He turns around to walk out of the little dressing place and I sigh
"No Jack. It's not ok. It's not on at all. We've spent 6 months with each other and gone through everything together." I say causing him to stop
"I love you Jack. And I wanna get married to you. You can't just runaway when your scared. If that was the case, I would've been gone already." I say and he stays turned around. I walk to him and grab his arm and turn him around.
"Jennie, Your young-"
"I don't care Jack. What's the real reason you don't wanna get married?" I ask
"I'm scared." He says
"I'm scared too. But you have to understand that we can get through this together. Like we have been." I say. He doesn't say anything so I let my hand drop, knowing I'm probably not going to convince him. I wait a little and nod
"You wanna tell the 150 plus guests out there that the wedding is called off or should I?" I ask and then turn around and start to walk away.
"I'm not leaving." He says and I turn around and sigh
"Oh thank god. I was about to cry." I say and he laughs
"I love you too and I guess the nerves just got the best of me." He says and I nod.
"I like the dress tho." He says and I laugh
"Yea, it's your favorite." I say and he smiles. He grabs my hands and pulls me to him. He then plants a soft kiss on my lips. Nothing like the kisses we've shared in the past. This one is full of passion and love. He pulls away and I laugh.
"You have lip gloss all over your lips." I say and he laughs. I grab a napkin from a random room and hand it to him and he wipes his lips off.
"Let's get married." He says and I nod
"Lets do this."
