No Regrets [Jack Barakat]

I don't wanna lose you

I know that ATL wasn't touring before Warped Tour, because they were in the studio :) but in this story they did ^^

Ian's POV

She was just sitting there and it seemed like she didn't know what to answer. "No" she finally said quiet. "I'm not planing it" she continued. I was so glad that she said that! "My life is just pretty hard right now, you know. But I'm not planing to commit suicide. I was just wondering how it would be...if I wouldn't be here anymore" she admitted and seemed a bit ashamed for her own thoughts. I put my arms around her and pulled her into a hug. "The world would suck without you. We all love you, please never leave this world before me. I love you, you're my sister. I don't wanna lose you" I said. "Thank you so much. You helped me so much in my life, Ian" she thanked when I let go of her. "I promise, I'll never again talk like that" she promised me and kissed me on the cheek. Then she got up from the couch and walked towards her bunk. "Goodnight" she said. "Goodnight" I wished.

Valentine's POV

"Thank you Baltimore! You were amazing!" I screamed and walked off stage. It was summer and so fucking hot. And it was an open air concert and the sun was shining so much. Sweat was all over my body and my shirt was so wet. "This show was amazing!" Bob yelled. We highfived each other and then collapsed on the couch. "It's.so.fucking.hot" I said. "What do you expect? It's fucking summer" Jerry said as he grabed a water bottle. I stuck my tongue out at him. "Can you believe that this was our last show on this tour?" Steve asked. "It feels so unreal" I said and the other agreed. Baltimore is our hometown so it felt even more awesome to play here. It's ATL's hometown, too so they'll enjoy it just like us. We were sitting backstage until the guys from ATL came here, too. "Hey guys, incredible last show you played" Rian complimented us. "Thanks" Ian thanked. "So, have fun at your hometown show" I wished and winked. "Oh we will!" Zack said and looked at Jack and Alex. "What? My parents are here tonight, I can't show my dick..." Jack said. We laughed and then they went on stage. We watched them perform from the side of the stage. I think this was like the best show they ever played. Yeah, I mean you always play the best songs in your hometown! Ian and me danced to some of the songs and Steve acted like he was a crazy fangirl. Jerry and Bob were more drinking their beers and just listening to the music. When the boys walked off stage the crowd was yelling and wanting more songs. We went backstage, too where they were already spread around in the room. "That was pretty rad!" I said and sat next to Jack on the couch. "Thanks" they all said in unison. "Let's go to a bar!" Alex yelled and held a fist in the air. Jack cheered and Rian yelled "Yeah!" Zack just nodded. "Are you guys coming, too?" Alex asked. "I'm totally down" I said and the others agreed.

So, like 15 minutes later we were sitting in the lounge of a bar. We were all glad to be in a familiar bar but also a bit sad that tour was over. Everyone was casually drinking their drinks and I took a sip of my beer. I'm not really into drinks, they're too strong for me. It doesn't need much to get me drunk, so I always just drink some beers. "Well guys, tour was pretty awesome with you" Alex said and then took another shot. 5 shots later everyone was drunk, except of me. I was still drinking my first beer. I don't like getting drunk, I always feel so horrible when I'm drunk. So I'm always careful with alcohol. Not like the guys from All Time Low. Band and crew was completely drunk now. I mean my guys are drunk, too but they can still speak very well. While the others were mumbling. Anyway, we stayed at the bar until like 2am. Then we went to our buses and the bus driver drove us home.

My apartment is actually pretty small, but after like 2 months in a tiny bus it seemed like a huge house. But it was still so empty. No one of my band members was around so I felt a bit lonely. I put my suitcase and my bags somewhere in my tiny living room and then quickly changed into my pj. My pj was actually just a over-sized t-shirt and some underwear, since all my "real" pj's were still in my suitcase. After I got changed I lay in my bed.

I got waked by my phone ringing. I moaned and rolled over to grab my phone from the commode. "Why are you calling that early in the morning?" I mumbled without looking who actually was calling me. "It's noon" the person said. I know this voice, it's our tour manager Tim. "What do you want, Tim?" I asked and yawned. "I wanted to tell you, that next tour is Warped Tour in about 2 months. Some band can't be part of it so they asked you and I accepted" he said. "Oh nice that you make decisions for our band" I said sarcastically. "Well, I wanted to ask you yesterday about that, but you were all drunk. So I just said yes" he explained. "I wasn't drunk" I corrected him. "Whatever. Anyway, you're going to Warped Tour. Tell the others, I'll call you when I have more infos" he said. "Okay, I will. Bye" I said. "Bye" he said and hung up. I put my phone on the commode again and then slowly moved my body out of my bed. While walking to the kitchen, I yawned like 10 times. I was still so tired. I'm not really a morning-type. When I was younger, it took Ian at least 15 minutes to get me out of my bed. I made some coffee and a bowl with cereals and milk. After having breakfast I took a quick shower and then texted my guys the news.

Hey guys. Tim just called me and told me that we're going on Warped Tour on 2 months. more infos to come xx

It didn't take long until I got the first "Woohoo"'s texted back. When I went into the living room, I saw my suitcase and bags lying around. So I decided to unpack them. I just my Fall Out Boy CD in my CD-player and turned to volume up. Everything makes more fun with music. It took me like 45 minutes to unpack all the stuff I had on tour. Clearly I came home with more stuff. After I was finished I sat on my couch in the living room and put my laptop on my lap. I wasn't on Twitter or Tumblr since the time I was on ATL's tour bus. When I saw my account on Twitter, I almost dropped my laptop. I gained some more followers. Well, like 5 thousand more! I just realized how famous our band got through the tour. I got so many e-mails from magazines and tv-shows which want to interview our band. Incredible. I never thought we'll get at least a bit famous. When I turned on the TV, I saw that our band was at 2 different channels. 2 different channels! Before we weren't even on one channel and now two! We really got this famous in this little time? It seems like..! Oh well, let's tweet something.

@ValNoRegrets: holy fuck, I think our band got pretty famous...! two different channels are playing our music videos.... #hellyeah

And yeah, my mentions exploded. Everyone begged for a reply or a retweet. But I clearly couldn't do that for everyone. I mean, there were just too many! After spending some minutes on Twitter, I decided to text Tim about all those magazines and tv-shows. He should manage all of them.

Val: Hey Tim. got pretty much requests about interviews. manage it! Haha just kidding, no really ;) xx

Tim: Oh Val... Sure, I'll look at them and pick some. BTW, maybe you should spend your next months giving interviews and maybe writing some more songs... after Warped you can record some new songs. BTW, your album 'On Fire' sell pretty much...! you're almost at gold status!

Val: Holy shit, are you kidding?! I'll talk to the guys about new songs

Tim: No I'm not kidding! You got really famous. Almost everyone knows you now and owns your album. Just some more hundred solds and you're at gold status

Holy shit!
