No Regrets [Jack Barakat]

What's going on?

__________________________________________________________

Jack's POV

Warped Tour was actually just concerts, parties, interviews and a lot of fun. I spent the last nights at parties and I clearly drank really much. But this night I wanted to stay at the bus because I had a massive headache. But the others were going out tonight because they didn't party that much like me. So I was gonna be alone today night. "Jack! It's time for our show" Alex said next to me. I was in thoughts and he seemed to notice that. I nodded and took my guitar. We walked on stage and played an incredible show. Like always.

After the show, we all walked to our bus and sat on the chairs in front of the bus. We sat there for hours and just talked and told some jokes. But then they "had to" leave and go to the parties. That left me alone at the bus and I had no idea what I should do. I went in the bus and sat on the couch in the back lounge. I turned the TV on and switched through the channels. But there wasn't anything interesting, so just 5 minutes later, I turned the TV off again. Sitting on the couch and just being bored wasn't the thing I actually wanted to do. But it seemed like that was the thing I was doing this night. Hm, I think the guys from No Regrets will be out, too? Let's see. I took my phone from the table and looked through my contacts. I decided to call Val. Maybe she was at the bus. It didn't take long until I heard Val's voice through my phone. "Hey Jack" she said happily. "Hey Val. Are you at the bus?" I asked. "Yeah, I am. Whyyyy?" she asked. I smiled and run my fingers through my messy hair. "I was just wondering. Do you wanna watch some movies with me? The guys went to a party but I-" I told but got cut off by her cursing. "Fuck!" she yelled. "What happened?" I asked confused. "I just dropped our last chocolate pudding and it's now all over the floor" she whined and it sounded like a kid who just lost her favourite toy. "Oh, it's just a pudding. No reason to cry" I said and almost laughed because of her reaction to the pudding on the floor. "I'm on my fucking period and I need chocolate! And if I drop it on the floor then I'm about to fucking cry" she whined. "Too much information. But wait, I'll come over and help you cleaning" I said and stood up from the couch. I walked to the front and took my leather jacket, because it was already pretty late and cold outside. "Okay, I'll be here waiting and crying over this pudding" she said and sounded upset. I laughed and then hung up. Hm, I think we have somewhere something which has chocolate in it. Chocolate chip cookies! Jackpot! I took them and hid them under my jacket. Hopefully those aren't Alex' because when he would find out that I took them, he would fucking kill me. But I risked that for Val. I opened the door of the bus and went outside, fastly walking to NR's bus. When I reached it, I didn't knock, I just opened the door and walked inside. Val was sitting on the couch and almost crying over the pudding on the floor. When she heard me, she looked up to me and pointed at the pudding. "It doesn't deserve to end like this" she said and put her bottom lip out. I laughed and then searched for a rag. She still sat there and grieved over the pudding. When I finished cleaning, I remembered the cookies in my jacket. I put the rag on its place and then turned to Val. "I've got something for you" I said and smiled. She looked confused and raised an eyebrow. "What?" she asked. I took the cookies from my jacket and handed them to her. Her face lit up and she smirked wide. "Cookies! Thanks Jack! That's gonna save my evening!" she thanked and hugged me tight. She released me from her arms and opened the pack. First she put a cookie in her mouth and then handed the pack to me, like she wanted to ask me if I want one, too. I nodded and took one. "So, where are your guys?" I asked when I noticed that the bus was totally empty. "Oh, they've gone out. Ian has another date with Elisa. And the rest went on a party somewhere" she explained and walked to the backlounge. I followed her and put my leather jacket on the couch before I sat next to her on it. "So, what do you want to do now? I think you wanted to watch movies with me when we phoned, right?" she ask and took another cookie. "Yes, exactly. Where is your movie collection?" I asked and searched for the DVDs. With her mouth full of cookies, she pointed to the little commode which was under the TV. I searched for some movies and then decided to watch Austin Powers. This movie is a classic. "Austin Powers. Good choice, I haven't seen this movie in a long time" she said and smiled. We made it comfortable on the couch when the movie started. "That's so weird" Val suddenly said in the middle of the movie. She already ate all of the cookies I've brought, by the way. "What?" I asked a bit surprised. "Everyone is finding their perfect partner" she said in thoughts. I never thought about that, but she's right. Rian has Cassadee, Zack has Sandy and it seems like Alex is going to be back with Lisa again. So there's just me. "Bob has Brandy, Ian has now Elisa. They aren't officially together but they will be soon. And Steve and Jerry aren't the relationship-types so they don't count. That means there's just me" she continued. "Are you feeling lonely?" I asked and winked. "You know that I'm pretty emotional right now! I can't help my thoughts" she complained and crossed her arms. "Awww" I said and put my arm around her and pulled her closer to me. She put her head on my chest and laughed. "You know Jack, you're a such a good man and it's such a mystery to me that you don't have a girlfriend" she admitted. I looked down to her and saw that she was blushing a bit. "It's a mystery for me, too. I mean, how can somebody be single with that body?" I joked and she hit my leg. "Can't you be serious for some seconds?" she joked and sat upright again. "Barely" I said and smirked. "Well, let's watch the movie before I say something that I don't want to say yet..." she said. Her expression on her face was like the one, when you could punch yourself because of something you said. "What do you mean?" I asked confused. She probably hoped that I didn't hear her but I did. "Nah, nothing...important. Oh, look there's Dr. Evil" she said and tried to get my attention to the movie again. "No really, tell me" I begged. "No. I will tell you when it's time for it" she told and bit her bottom lip. I shrugged and tried to focus on the movie again. What was she talking about? What didn't she want to say yet? And why? Sometimes this girl is such a mystery for me...
