I Hope You Like The Stars I Stole For You
So This Time I'll Make You Proud
I didn't even hesitate to call Austin.
What could he be doing at this time?
He has no girlfriend, and the guys are probably out getting drunk.
He picked up after 3 rings.
"Hello?"
"Austin!"
"Yaressi?" he laughed.
"Um, yeah.. You're kinda the only one I really know around here besides Pierce The Veil and Kellin... So I was wondering if you just wanted to hang out for a while?"
"Sure! Where are you?"
"Um, I'm on the 109th gas station.."
"Holy shit how did you get all the way there?!"
"I didn't really think about where I was going.. But I have Adaa with me, I hope that's okay."
"Of course it is, I love her! I'll be there soon."
The phone clicked and I put it back in my pocket.
I had brought Adaa's car seat just in case, and thank goodness I did.
It looked like the bad side of town.
I didn't really like it.
Before I could let my mind take over and go roaming around, Austin pulled up.
He was blasting Slipknot.
Of course, Austin.
Of course.
I chuckled as Austin hopped out and put Adaa in her car seat for me.
He was such a gentleman.
He turned around and looked at me.
I almost broke my neck trying to look back at him.
I'm only 5'3 and he's about 6'5.
He smiled and pulled me in for a hug.
Even if he had to bend down, it made me feel better to know that someone cared.
"Lets go." he took my hand and led me to the passenger seat.
After he finished helping me, he walked over to his side and got in the car.
He would tap his fingers on the steering wheel along to the beat of the song.
He looked down and smiled.
I realized I was doing the same, but on my legs.
I laughed and put my head back as Austin parked in front of a Starbucks.
We both hopped out and Austin grabbed Adaa before I could.
He smiled at me and locked the door.
He started to hum When You Can't Sleep At Night while gently rocking Adaa.
He had a beautiful clean vocalized voice.
I couldn't help but hum along, which led to me starting to sing.
We sat there, smiling at each other, singing it.
Nobody was there except for a couple employees, which I don't think they minded.
"Pretty little lady with those swollen eyes,
Won't you show them to me?" he sang.
"I know I’m not that perfect,
But you stay awhile,
Baby, then you will see.." I finished.
I didn't think we were singing too loud, but I guess we were because numerous applause's came from behind the counter.
I blushed and looked back at Austin.
"You're amazing! I seen you preform with Kellin, but your voice up close is so much better."
Now I knew that I was smiling from ear to ear and couldn't stop.
Adaa had fallen asleep.
I sighed.
"Do you mind taking me home?" I asked.
"Why?" he looked confused.
"Well Adaa fell asleep and I figured that it's time for you to head off t-"
He stopped me.
"No. You don't have to go back there today. You can stay with me."
I looked up into his eyes.
"I-I can?"
"Of course you can."
He stood up and grabbed my hand, leading me back to the car.
He lightly put Adaa in her car seat and hopped inside.
It was a nice, peaceful drive back to his house.
When we got there, I took Adaa this time, and walked into his house.
It was huge.
There was a coffee table in the middle of the room and a flat screen TV just above it, hanging on the wall.
"Take a seat." he said.
"Oh, but I don't know where to put Adaa.." I looked down at her. "Do you have a blanket and pillow I could put her on?" I asked.
"Um, yeah, hold on." He grabbed a small blanket from behind the couch and a pillow from his room and handed them to me.
"Thanks."
I set Adaa down on the couch that was on the other side of the room, and put her blanket over her lightly.
I walked back over to where Austin was and sat down beside him.
"Why did you leave?" he asked looking at the floor.
I sat back.
I took a deep breath, and explained everything.
All the blood.
The resistance.
The fighting.
The broken things.
Everything.
He pulled me into a hug, and didn't let me go.
"I'm so sorry." he whispered.
He swayed me back and forth slightly.
We sat there for about an hour.
Until the guys walked in.
"HeeeeeeeY AUSTIN!" Alan stumbled towards him and tripped.
Phil fell to the floor laughing, as did Tino.
Aaron shook his head.
"Sorry about that you guys. Just go into Austin's room. Get some sleep, you two look like hell." he laughed and tried to get Alan back up.
I could hear him making little "meow" noises.
"Hey Auuuustin! Get chu some!" Alan rolled over away from Aaron.
Austin shook his head.
"Shut the hell up Alan!" he yelled.
I picked up Adaa and Austin took me to his room, slamming the door.
"I'm sorry." he shook his head.
"That's fine.." I mumbled.
I hated that Alan said that.
I'm married and obviously have a kid.
Drunk or not.
It still made me upset.
I sighed and lied down with Adaa under Austin's covers.
He followed not too long after and faced the other way.
It was nice to get away.
So Tony could cool down.
And so I could also.
I'll go home tomorrow.
