Please Be My New Memories | Kellic

Chapter 26 ~ The Wedding

I felt as though after blaming myself for Kellin getting beaten up I needed a small bit of time away from him and so I decided that I would get myself a well waited for third tattoo. For as long as I can remember my favourite song of all time has always been the same, 'Your Guardian Angel' by 'The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus'. It was when I began making friends that I was afraid to lose that the song was given a real meaning to me.

I had in mind a pair of angel wings stretched across my back, up by my shoulder blades. Above the wings I'd have

'I will never let you fall,

I'll stand up with you forever,' written in the same italics as my first tattoos. Beneath I'd then have written

'I'll be there for you through it all,

Even if saving you sends me to heaven.'

Floating down the rest of my back I wanted simple yet beautiful feathers falling, each feather to represent someone important in my life.

I walked into the tattoo place, Alex and Jack sat in the middle of a deep discussion. What it was about I'll never know because the moment I stepped in their heads turned towards my direction and I was greeted by warm, welcoming smiles.

"Hey," Alex said, looking happier than usual making me feel happier myself. As long as Alex was smiling, I'd be smiling too whether I wanted to or not, "Come for another tattoo?"

he added.

I simply nodded and sat down, explaining what it was that I had in mind. Jack simply laughed and said, "I'm the biggest feather, right?"

I scoffed, "No, why would you be a feather?" he seemed genuinely hurt and I immediately felt guilty, maybe my joke was too harsh? "You're the set of wings," I said smiling and his eyes lit up until I chuckled again, "Just kidding, that's Biersack. Nah, you're not on there." he put his head down in mock offense, pouting whilst staring out the window.

"I'm one of the feathers, right?" Alex asked as he sat down next to me and cleaned off the skin in preparation for the tattoo.

"Of course," I smiled and turned my attention back to Jack for a moment, " I was joking, Jack. Both of your feathers are the ones near the top."

"Who are the other feathers then?" Alex asked intrigued. I looked at him for a moment and thought of the best way to explain it.

"Well, there's you two obviously. Jenna because I don't think I'd be able to even consider not having a feather represent her. My Uncle even though he stalked me for ages but he's been there for me so why not? Kellin, like I even need to explain that one," I paused before continuing, thinking about the last two people, "And my Mum and brother. I know I can't remember them so it's like I've never even met them but they must've been important to me, how could I not include them?"

I began to feel myself become emotional and decided to drop the heavy subject and move on to interrogating Alex as to why he appeared so ecstatic.

"You really want to know why?" he grinned and I nodded my head quickly. He leaned in closer and cupped his hand around his mouth, the space between his lips and my ear closing as he was about to whisper his answer.

"We're getting married, that's why!" He suddenly screamed making me quince at the pain shooting through my ear at his loudness. Then I realised what he had just said. I looked between him and Jack, wide eyed.

"What?" was all I could manage to quietly say as I continued to stare at him, "Alex, Jack, you're both still really young."

He laughed lightly, "Since when did we care?"

True.

"So aren't you happy for us?" he asked, a little hurt that I wasn't happy for him straight away which was completely out of character for me although I was worried about them making the right choice or not. I didn't want the results of this marriage to be either of them getting hurt.

"Of course I am! I couldn't be happier," I pretended to wipe a tear away from my eye, "My little boys have grown up so fast."

Alex just punched my shoulder lightly and carried on preparing me for the tattoo. They both seemed so happy and the whole place was filled with such a good aura I was left smiling for the whole day.

"So who proposed to who?" I asked and wasn't really sure who to direct the question at so I stared into space, looking at nothing in particular.

"I proposed to Alex," Jack spoke up and to be honest I wouldn't have expected it the other way round anyway but nonetheless I smiled and Alex's smile somehow got wider.

"Got any wedding plans yet?" I asked Alex this time.

"We're thinking something simple, not too many people. Not everyone exactly approved of this whole getting married thing so it'll be some family, a few really close friends and you and Kellin. Speaking of Kellin, where is he?" Alex said and suddenly I switched back to my sad self as I pictured Kellin's bruises from last night.

"He's just tired so he's getting some rest," it wasn't a complete lie.

"Ok, well, tell him we say hi," and I just nodded letting Alex start my tattoo as Jack and I spoke about nothing in particular.
