Believe You Me

Cigarette smoke dances back in the window

I sat down in one of the chairs by the unlit fire pit and Austin took the one next to me. It was a wonderful night, with the moon shining brightly in the background and a few stars shining here and there. I lost track of where I was for a minute, until Austin finally spoke up.

"You're not still with that asshole that you were with back during Warped, are you?" His question caught me off guard and I looked at him questioningly.

"Who, Kody? Uhm, no, we actually broke up juts a few months ago." I looked down at the ground, silently begging that he wouldn't ask any more about it. It was still a sore subject for me to talk about and I tried to avoid it the best I could.

"I won't even try to hide the fact that I'm happy about that. He wasn't any good for you, Eve, even I could tell you that. Honestly, I heardyou on the phone with him one night after a show in Orlando. You were standing right near our bus, so I wasn't trying to listen in or anything, I swear about that. You're too good for anyone like that, Eve. You're a fantastic girl and you deserve a whole lot more than him." I was still looking down at the ground, but I could feel his eyes on me, watching me with intent. I looked up and back into his deep, brown eyes.

"Thanks Austin, that means more than you could possibly imagine. My relationship with Kody wasn't the best, I was never really happy... He was kind of manipulative, you know? He broke my heart in the end, and it's just been kinda hard to get over it...." I trailed off at the end of my sentence and looked up to see that he was looking away, staring in the distance hard.

"Yeah, I know what you mean..." His voice was barely above a whisper. He looked back at me for a few seconds before flicking his eyes to the ground. "I was actually married for a couple of months to this girl, but I'm sure you knew that, everybody knew about that." I nodded my head slowly, despite the fact that he couldn't see me. He paused to take a shaky breath before resuming.

"Her name was Gielle, and I thought she was the one, you know? I mean, I was actually prepared to spend the rest of my life with her. I guess she wasn't ready though, and unfortunately I didn't figure it out until I came home early from tour to surprise her one day and caught her in our fucking bed with another guy. I guess I was the one in for a surprise that day..."

His voice was cracked and I saw him blink away a few tears. I didn't know what to say to him. How could anyone treat him like that? He was the nicest guy I knew, I just didn't understand. I reached across the chairs and grabbed his hands with mind. He looked up at me with watery eyes.

"She just didn't know how good she really had it, and she'll never know what she's going to miss out on. Frankly, she doesn't even deserve a guy like you. You're too good for anybody that treats a guy as nice as you like that." I smiled softly at him and he returned mine.

"You're probably one of the most amazing girls I've ever met, Evie." Austin said softly. I felt my heart drop to my stomach again.

"You're such a sweetheart, I can barely stand it. How the hell do you go from this to the angry you are on stage? I wouldn't believe it was even possible if I didn't see it for myself." He let out a small laugh and leaned a bit closer to me, squeezing my hands softly.

"Singing is the way I let my anger out and express my emotions, so I don't have to walk around being that angry guy. That's who I used to be, and I hated it. I'll never let myself be that guy again."

"You're one of the sweetest guys I know, Austin. I don't think you'll even be able to be that guy again if you wanted to." I gave his hand a squeeze and smiled at him.

"Hey uhm, I know this might seem a bit sudden, but do you think you maybe wanna go grab some coffee or something tomorrow? I mean, I know you're not going to be in Huntington Beach for that long, and I'd still like to see you while I can." I hesitated for a second, thinking about everything Jaime and Mike had said earlier this morning.

"You know, I really think I'd like that. It'll be the perfect thing to help me with my hangover I'll have tomorrow." We both laughed and let a comfortable silence fall between us. I was suddenly aware of how close to each other we really were, catching me off guard and making my heart race. I let go of his hand and stood up, stretching my legs a bit.

"Well, hey, I had a really good time talking to you and seeing you tonight, but I think I might turn in. This whole party scene isn't really my thing, but the guys always seem to drag me into it anyways." He drummed his legs a few times before standing up, his tall frame towering over me.

"I should probably go check on Alan anyways before he gets too drunk and embarrasses himself, like usual." He let out a small laugh before the silence fell between us again. I looked up into his eyes to see that he was already looking down at me. My heart started to race again before he opened his arms and wrapped me in a warm, snug embrace. It was better than any hug I've had in a long time, and I let myself relax in his arms.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow?" He said as he pulled away way too soon.

"Of course, text me in the morning. I'll be there." I smiled and waved at him before he walked back into the house and downstairs to find Tino and Alan. It took everything I had to not shout out in joy about what had just happened.

I grabbed my cup off the table and threw it in the trash and headed inside, basically skipping back to my room. I stripped off my clothes and threw on a pair of shorts and loose tank before hopping into bed. I closed my eyes and hear the faint thumping from the music downstairs. It didn't bother me any though, because my mind was still reeling from Austin's hug. It was one of the best ones I had in awhile, but I thought to myself right before I fell asleep that it didn't compare to any of Jaime's.

Notes

It's a pretty short update with mostly dialogue, and I'm sorry for that, but I felt bad leaving for the weekend and not leaving you guys with anything. I know the story is going pretty slow, but I promise you that it's going to pick up here pretty soon, you just have to bare with me. I love you guys and I hope you're still enjoying this! <3
