Living Under A Paper Moon (All Time Low Fanfic)

Chapter 26

I stared into my closet. I grabbed everything and dumped it on the bed and started to pack. I probably needed more clothes than this because'I had no idea when we'd actually get any washing done. I'd packed most of the stuff making sure I had enough sweat pants and hoodies for travelling days, going out dresses, everyday clothes, bandshirts, shorts for hot countries. I realised this is a once in a lifetime experience. I was getting to travel the world with some of my best friends, my boyfriend and bands. I'd get to go to countries I'd never had imagined I'd get to go to, people I never thought I would meet, things I'd never experience. At the very bottom of the pile was a dry cleaning bag. I unzipped it. It was the dress that I'd worn the night Jack told me he loved me. I took it out. There was still his blood on it from his injury. I don't know why but I felt like I was about to cry. I decided to actually bring it to get dry cleaned before we left in a few days time. Time was going quickly. When I came back from touring I'd be twenty one, actually would be allowed to drink then. Hannah paraded into my room. Her ring caught the light and the diamond sparkled, it was beautiful.

"Awwh!" she cooed "I remember that dress! Woah, your nearly packed! I better catch up. What are you wearing to lunch today?" she sat on my bed. I pointed at a blue dress hanging on the outside of my wardrobe.

"Ew, I don't have to wear a dress do I?" she complained. I laughed, we'd been here almost a year and she hadn't changed.

"It's April! You have to wear a dress. By the way, if the rock on your finger didn't remind you, you're getting married honey, you'll have to wear a dress!" I laughed. She groaned and fell back onto my bed. She was still the same Hannah who'd always been my best friend, there was just something different about her, something better.

"Skype every Saturday at eight o clock Californian time." Celine scribbled down in her notebook.

"I'm jealous! All the fabulous place's you two get to go! You'll bring us back presents right?" Sarah giggled taking a sip of her champagne. Sarah was just that small bit older than us so could order alcohol in restaurants, not just clubs.

"And it'll be great for ye to go back home!" Celine added. Hannah and I nodded in agreement.

"I was thinking if I saw dresses I liked for ye that I could buy them, I know your sizes and style so it wouldn't be too hard. Only if you didn't mind not being there when I bought them, I mean ye are the bridesmaids so it's up to ye!" Hannah said finishing her lunch.

"No, dresses from a foreign country would be so cool!" Sarah prompted.

"Yeah! Just don't make them too flashy!" Celine added.

"Hannah honey, you can dress me in anything but orange!" the two of us laughed like idiot at the inside joke we had from when we were kids.

"I'm going to miss you two and your weirdness so much!" Celine laughed.

"I can't believe I have to go a whole year and a half without seeing you two! I barely last a week without it." Sarah said, her eyes glassy.

"Fuck bitches don't start me off!" Hannah wiped the side of her face but she couldn't catch them as they streamed down her face. Suddenly I noticed that my face was soaking too. All of us were in tears like idiots.

"I'm going to miss ye so much!" I sobbed. We all hugged around the table telling each other how much we loved each other. After about twenty minutes of our love fest we burst out laughing at our stupidity.

"Really though guys, I love you all. If it wasn't for ye, I don't know how I would've coped with a lot of things. Sarah raised her glass of champagne.

"To us!" she said. We all raised our glasses and laughed. Times like these were what I was going to miss.

"You're home!" Jack jumped up off the sofa and picked me up to greet me. I saw him wince in pain with his ribs before placing me down on the floor.

"You've been gone too long, I've missed you." he touched his forehead off mine bringing us to eye level.

It was Jack so he ruined the moment by saying "I beat your score in Guitar Hero!" he smiled. I laughed, he really was the biggest child.

"You still haven't taught me how to use my Christmas present!" I protested, he'd already ruined the moment so I decided to play along. He took hold of my hand and started to pull me along to my bedroom.

"I have something to show you!" he announced looking excited and quite pleased with himself. On the bed was the dress I was going to take to the dry cleaners, but obviously Jack already had.

"This was on your bed when I came home earlier. I remembered it, you wore this the night I told you I loved you." he smiled. I stared at him in shock.

"Y-you remember that?" I asked.

"Of course! I'd admired it before I got all shit faced, you looked hot." he winked putting his arms around my waist.

"I don't believe that." I looked down at the floor laughing awkwardly.

"Fuck off! You look hotter now though. That dress is nice and all, I just think it would look better on your floor." he smiled.

"Seriously? You did not just use that line Jack Barakat!" I laughed at him. Before I knew it his lips were on mine and I was moving in time with his. His body heat pressed against mine as we fell onto the bed. His hands played under my dress before he comically waggled his eyebrows and unhooked my bra. I pulled his JAGK tShirt over his head. There was still a fading bruise over the ribs he had broken. I reached up and traced the scar on his forehead lightly with my finger.

"Battle scar, sexy huh?" he joked.

"You're so cheesy!" I whispered. He pulled my dress off over my head before he started working on his jeans. I helped him pull them off and he was left in his underwear. He started kissing my neck, leaving marks. His hands slid down the side of my body and slowly took off my underwear. His hands lingered down there longer than I'd expected and a moan escaped me. He was kissing me passionately again now, more than ever before. He was serious for once now. He wrapped my legs around his waist and stood up. We were still kissing as he looked through one of his drawers and pulled out a condom. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Gotta be safe baby! Damn I should have worn my Boner shirt today, would have been quite appropriate." he whispered in my ear laying me down on the bed and removed his boxers. He started but he was still laughing. Only Jack of course. Thing became more intimate. He was kissing down my body when I couldn't hold it in. I screamed his name. I saw him smile to himself, it wasn't that dark. 

"I love you Sophie." he whispered into my ear, our body's tangled into one now.

"I love you too Jack." I closed my eyes and let him hold me in his arms.
