~Austin's POV~

I looked up from my menu laughing at something stupid Alan said when I saw this girl getting out her car. She took my breath away. Alan noticed because he asked me who I was staring at, I pointed at her. He was silent, which was not like him, and in utter shock also.

“Dude close your mouth before a bug flies in!” I said jokingly. Alan wasted no time to close his mouth. I guess he was embarrassed because he started blushing.

“Damn dude! Your face is starting to match you red ass hair!” After I stated the facts he punched me in the arm. I couldn’t help but laugh.

I was quickly pulled back from my laugh marathon by Alan tapping my arm and pointing at that girl outside. I looked up and saw her frozen, and crying. I am guessing her friend was trying to pull her back together because I could only see the little bit of her face from over her friends shoulder. The tears just kept coming from this beautiful, mystery, girls’ eyes. I became really worried about this girl.

Why is she crying? I knew I had to talk to her. I knew I had to help her.

‘Austin why the hell are you so concerned? You don’t even know this girl. Ypu just saw her in the damn mirror. Stop using your penis and think with your brain! You just got back from tour you need to take a break before your next tour in 5 months.’ My inner thoughts took over. Although I knew I wasn’t thinking with my penis, I started to go with my brain and try to forget about her. I looked up, to see her one last time, and she was gone. I knew right then I had to meet her. I needed to know her. I know I looked stupid looking for some mystery girl but frankly I couldn’t give a two fucks.

I began losing all hope of seeing her again. I thought she left all together. Then I felt a light tape on my arm, followed by a hard punch. I turned to see no other than Alan, again pointing to the side of me. I turned my head so fast that neck popped. The pain did not faze me, I was too concerned on finding this damn girl.

I finally spotted her again. She was on the other side of IHop. That’s when the idea came to me to go bump into her. I know what you’re thinking, that is the worst idea anyone has ever thought of. But, I am not good at picking up girls. I mean come on now the best pick up line I have is “How much does a polar weigh? ... Enough to break the ice!” I knew I had to use something else with this girl, so I just went bumping into her, then playing it off like it was my fault.

As I was making my way over to her I pulled out my phone to make it look like a distraction. It was a perfect idea. The worst that could happen is her falling, but I would make sure to catch her.

She was closer than I expected, so the worst did happen! She fell on her ass! Though it was funny, I felt bad.

“Ouch.” She held out her hand for someone to help her up so I took her up on the offer. I grabbed her hand pulled her up so she was balanced.


"I am sorry... I didn't see you there." I said with a genuine smile, hoping that she would get that I could lighten up the mood.

Her friend leaned into her saying something. I couldn’t really hear her so I just looked down at my phone, trying to seem like I didn’t really want to know. Honestly, I wanted to know what the she was saying and why couldn’t she say it in front of me?

Then I saw the mysterious girl’s shirt. It was a PTV sweat shirt, then it clicked she was a fucking fan. I loved my fans but I vowed that I wouldn’t get with a fan. But that was before I saw this girl.

“Who bumped into me??” Her voice was just as angelic as she was. I felt like I was high. Just her fucking voice and her beauty made me want to scream. I surely did… in my head though. I didn’t want to embarrass myself to much. I already knew I was cheesin for days!

"You know who Pierce The Veil is but you don't know who I am?? Am I not that recognizable?" I had the biggest grin on my face, but I couldn’t remove it even if my life depended on it.

‘What the hell is this girl doing to me?!’

"No I didn't recognize you because I can't see..." She said in a harsh tone. I couldn’t help but tense up. My smile fell faster than it grew on my face. Her and her friend began talking, but I couldn’t pay attention to them. I felt so stupid! Why didn’t I see it earlier?! All of the clues were there.

‘You are so stupid fucking Austin!’ My inner me was taking over, and beating the shit out of me. I didn’t mind. I deserved it. I face was in complete disbelief. I didn’t know what do or say.

I figured they were done talking because her friend was looking at me with a half-smile and the once beautiful girl looked beyond pissed. Honestly, she looked so fucking adorable when she was mad. I just wanted to grab her face and lay one on her, but I did the next best thing.

I grabbed her and gave her a hug. I figured she would accept a hug over and ‘I’m sorry’ any day.

She was very hesitant at first but then realized I wouldn’t let go of her until she hugged me back.

When she finally hugged me Alan came up to see what I was up to, causing us to separate.

‘Great fucking timing Alan!’ I yelled at him from inside. He knew what I was saying because gave me this apologetic smile.

I just didn’t want to let her go. She fit against just me perfectly. She wasn’t too short or too tall. She was perfect in every way possible. If she would ever give me chance I wanted to be the one to insure she knew that.

“I am sorry I seemed rude. It is just…” She began but I immediately cutting her off.

“Don’t you dare say you’re sorry. I should have noticed all the signs. I am sorry that I offended you. I can see that it hurt you. That is, by far, the last thing I wanted to do.” It felt amazing talking to this girl. Even though it was an awkward conversation, it was still a conversation.

She was smiling. I can tell that it was only half of her smile, but I was glad she was finally warming up to me. I wanted to see her full smile so bad!

“I am Valentina and this is my best friend Victoria.” She said pointing at her then to her friend who began holding onto Valentina’s arm.

“Please call me Tori.” She said releasing her hand for us to shake.

“Yeah, you can call me Tina, Teen, Val, V, anything you want, really it is just up to you. I am down for anything.” She rambling, which was also so adorable. i believe she realized because she began laughing. Her laugh made my smile come back. My face was starting to hurt with how much I was smiling.

“Well I guess Austin here is taking away by your guys’ beauty, because he is being extremely rude and is not doing our introductions.” Alan said. My face immediately dropped and I punch him in the arm.

“I am sorry. I am Austin, and this is Alan.” I finally spoke up. I grabbed their hands and shook them. Alan grabbed them and hugged them both, individually. Alan hugged Tori a little longer than Tina. He must be smitten by her. I wasn’t complaining, as long as he stays away from my girl we are okay.

“I just wanted to say that…” Tina started but you could tell that she was getting shocked up. Alan and I just waited patiently on her to calm down. Tori was rubbing her back help the process move faster.

“I know y’all have heard it all before, but I promised myself that if I ever got the chance to meet you again that I would say Thank You.” She finished with a couple of tears falling down her little rosy cheeks. Her eyes were still covered by sunglasses. But I was glad, I don’t think I would be able to handle seeing this girls eyes while she is crying.

“What did our music do for you if you don’t mind me asking?” Alan spoke up. I was glad because I was also trying to ask the same question, but I didn’t know how to word it. Alan and I automatically knew that our music helped her in some way. That is what every fan tells us.

“To make a very long story short, when I was with my ex I was very suicidal. He beat me every day. When I found out that I was blind I was very lost and depressed. Whenever I have a panic attack, feel depressed, or feel like giving up I put on some of your songs. I have spent days with just your’s, Pierce The Veil, Bring Me The Horizon, Memphis May Fire, All Time Low, and many other bands music playing. It is what has kept me going. And my girl Tor here.” She paused and squeezed Tori’s hand with a reassuring smile on her face. Then she began again, “Other than that I would not be standing here today… I am sorry for sounding so depressing. It is just I wanted to let you know that I am beyond thankful.”

When she finished she had Alan and I both had tears waiting to escape. A couple of tears were able to escape, but nothing bad. I saw she was also crying a little but immediately wiping her face clear of any trace of tears ever being there in the first place.

Instead of saying anything to her I pulled her into another hug, but this time Alan and Tori joined in. We were all hugging this little, fragile, girl.

After a minute or two Tori and Alan let go of her, but I didn’t let go neither did she. It felt like the whole word flew around us while we were into each others arms. I have never felt this way with any of my ex’s not even Gielle and I married her for fucks sake! After a few more minutes of us just standing their holding each other, she finally pulled away. That is when I realized Tori and Alan were gone. Before I could look for them Tina called out.

“Austin?” Oh the way she called my name made me get Goosebumps.

“The one and only babe.” I slapped myself after realizing I had just called her babe. It didn’t seem like she minded, if anything she had a huge smile on her face. I felt like a little 5 year old in front of their first little crush.

“It was really nice meeting you. Really. It means so much to finally speak to you, but Tori and I have to go…” She said with a fake looking smile. I could tell she was holding back a frown, because when her smile dropped she bit her lip.

I couldn't help but let my arms drop from her side and my inner thoughts take ever.

‘What?! No! Why does want to leave?! Was it the hug?! It was the fucking name calling. It was all of it! I ruined it all. I am such a fucking idiot!’

I finally grew the balls to ask in a low upset tone, “Why do you have to leave?”

“Because I am really hungry. And I don’t want to keep up any more of your time. I am sure you need a break from crazy fans, like me, for a little bit and I want to give you your time.” She said, a surprisingly, happy look on her face. I couldn't help but smile again. Only if she knew how much I loved being around her. We weren't even together for 20 minutes and I never wanted her to leave my side.

I wanted to be the one she depended on. I wanted to be the one to bring her back from her moments. I wanted to get to know her, the real her.

“You are no trouble at all. In fact how about you and Tori come sit with Alan and I? We haven’t ordered out food yet so we can eat together.” I said with a bit of anticipation.

“I don’t know… Tori?” She called out. I was her eyes. I was searching for Tori and found her sitting at the table with Alan. Alan was the best wing man anyone could ask for. My smile grew even bigger on my face, if that was even possible.

“Tina. I found her. She is sitting with Alan at our table. So I guess you have to come with me now.” I said smiling. I knew that it would be hard for her to reject the option now, but you never know. I waited for her to disagree, but instead she held out her hand.

“Would you mind leading the way kind Sir.” She said in a British accent. I couldn’t help but let out a little giggle. I heard a small whisper type of giggle. I turned to see if that was her. Sure enough that was Tina who had her hand over her mouth giggling. I really wish she didn’t hide her laugh, but all in all it was adorable to see her in like little shy state.

As I turned to pull a chair out for her, I realized I was falling for this girl, hard, and fast.

I just hope she feels the same way and is not like one of those other fans who love the thought of me instead of the real me.
