Fresh Start Fever

This One's For You

Austin's POV:

As I pounced around the middle of the stage in front of the crowd I turned to the side of the stage searching for Lani. I had to squint my eyes to see through the glaring bright lights but I finally made out the small figure of Lani. I felt a weight drop of my shoulders knowing she wasn't with Mike anymore.

As O.G Loko came to an end I made my way to the center of the stage and stood myself on an amp that sat at the front of the stage. I pumped my arms and hands in the air motioning for the crowd to make some noise, and boy did they. I bent down on one knee and wiped the hot beads of sweat from my forehead as I roared the last lyrics of the song.

"This is faithfulness!," the crowed screamed as the song ended and I rose from my knee. The boys started playing the intro into 'This One's For You' and I could hear the girls squeal but I didn't just start the song like normal.

I looked back over to Lani and she was crying as she talked to someone beside her. I bought the microphone up to my lips and cooed Lani's name into it earning a chorus of "Aw's" from the crowd hoping to catch her attention. Her head turned so she stared in my direction. The boys continued to softly play the intro as I tried to lure her out on stage now wondering if what I was about to do would cheer her up. I lifted my hand and wriggled my finger begging her to come out on stage. She shook her head violently but I placed my hands together bringing myself down on one knee again begging, praying that she'd come out.

"Lani baby, would you come out on stage please I want to make up for earlier," the crowd started chanting her name and I knew I'd won the battle when she wiped her tears and pushed the wheels of hair chair. She rolled herself onto the stage and the fans went ballistic. I stood up and pushed her into the middle of the stage before coming around the front of her again so she could see me. I cupped her pale face in my gigantic hands and bent down as I placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Get a room!" Aaron called into his mic making everyone laugh including Lani.

"Shut up dude you're ruining the mood!" I poorly defended myself jokingly.

"What are you doing?" Lani whispered to me in shock. I felt like my heart was going to beat its way out of my chest as the nerves set in. I've told Lani I'd loved her but not like this and I was so scared she and everyone else would laugh in my face. I sat in front of her and placed her soft hands in mine and started rambling.

"Leilani," I spoke into the mic, "I love you, I want you to know that and I'm so sorry for what happened before the show. I find it so hard to believe that in this cynical world, where love is so hard to find, that you found love in me. I'm this beat up guy with a bunch of tattoos and messy hair with a shitty heart yet you put your heart and soul into loving me as I do to you and I can't believe it! God Lani I'd die for you and I'm so fucking lucky to have someone like you that loves me like you do and life doesn't get any better than that. I'm saying this because it's so important to me that I convey my true feelings to my dearest love and to me the simple and timeless 'I love you' is never enough. I mean yes that's how I feel about you and I will never fail to mean it when I say those words to you however I want to serenade you with words that mean much more than 'I love you' because you deserve that. You and me baby, we're forever no matter what and I'll always be there for you, I can only hope you'd do the same for me," Lani's hands were now draped over her drooping mouth as happy tears rolled down her face. The crowd was screaming and 'awing' some were even clapping as Lani conjured up the words to reply. She bounced in her seat and even kicked her feet a little in excitement and I was so glad that she'd not thought I was a joke.

"Oh Austin I love you too! I love your messy hair and shitty heart, I love everything about you," she cooed as she gripped firmly onto my sweaty hand once again. I stood myself up and let go of her hands pulling the mic back up to my face.

"Lani," I started, she looked up at me with her beautiful green gems and nodded in response, "This one's for you, literally," I told her as Alan wheeled her back to the side stage and we started the song that I had dedicated to her.

Leilani's POV:

Alan sat me back next to Oliver at the side of the stage as Austin started screaming the lyrics to 'This One's For You' as he dedicated it to me. I watched on in awe repeating Austin's beautiful words over and over in my mind. He'd completely made me forget about how upset I was as he poured his heart out to me on stage.

"How could you be upset by the fact that a man that great, that loves you so much, could be the father of your maybe baby?" Oli asked and I knew he was right, that I shouldn't be worried by that because Austin, no matter how scared, would make a great father.

"Maybe baby," we laughed at the term he'd made up before I continued, "You're right though Oli, I can't be upset by that. He's, he's amazing, I can't even put it in words," I mumbled back in response to his question.

"But love, you shouldn't be stressing yet. I'll take you to a drug store tomorrow and get a test, you might not even be pregnant but either way Austin will love you just the same," he reassured me.

"What if it's Mike's?" Oli shrugged his shoulders.

"You'll just have to see what happens when it happens," was all he said before he jumped up and started wheeling me back towards the stairs.

"Where are we going?" I couldn't help but wonder.

"Of Mice's set is nearly finished and the guys have to go do an interview so I'm taking you to the car to go back to the hotel," he explained through his thick accent.

"I'm not staying for yours or Pierce's set?" I was disappointed and I could feel my smile disappear.

"Not tonight love. Sorry kiddo," he patted me on the shoulder before lifting me from my chair and plodding me down the staircase. He sat my on the last step as he ran back up the stairs grabbing my chair and bringing it back down again. Nothing else was said as he took me out to the car and helped me in.

"So I'll see you tomorrow then?" he nodded and gave me a freakishly weird smile as if he knew something I didn't and it began to creep me out.

"Yep see you then! Have a fun night," he continued to smile as he winked.

"Doing nothing by myself?" but he just winked again as he closed the car door before the driver drove away from the venue.

***

The driver helped me out of the car and into my wheelchair, he even wheeled me into the elevator of the hotel but then he left. I reached my floor and pushed myself out and continued to roll towards the door. I pulled the key card to the room from my pocket and swiped myself in not expecting what I saw when I entered the room.

"Surprise baby!" Austin grinned adorably. I let my eyes wonder around the room taking in the aroma of vanilla that came from the numerous amounts of candles that illuminated the room. Before my feet on the floor was a trail of rose pedals that lead to the bedroom and over at the dining table there was two dishes full of pasta and a bottle of wine that smelt absolutely divine. I couldn't believe the romantic view that Austin had set up just for me.

"Wow," it was all I could fathom.

"Do you like it?" he worried as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Love it," I beamed, "I thought you had an interview?" he laughed and shrugged his shoulders.

"The guys can do it without me, I wanted to spend one of our last nights together with just us," he walked closer towards me closing the distance between us and lifted me from my chair. He held my waist as he steadied me on my feet and helped me move slowly to the dining table.

"Last nights?" I quizzed as he sat me in the wooden chair before my plate.

"Yeah I mean once the tours over I go back to America for my American Dream Tour with Bring Me and you go home," he explained like it didn't even bother him as he sat in the seat opposite me.

"Oh I just thought," I didn't know what I thought so I just stopped talking mid sentence as I picked at the fettuccine alfredo with my fork not bothering to look up into his warm, chocolate orbs.

"Thought what?" he pondered as he poured me a glass of red wine. I pushed the glass toward him and shook my head letting him know I didn't want it as I thought about the possibility of being pregnant but I wouldn't tell him that. "Still not feeling well enough for a drink?"

"Uh yeah my stomachs still queezy," I lied also trying to avoid his first question but it didn't work.

"So you didn't answer my question before. What did you think would happen after tour?" he pushed for an answer.

"It's stupid really I just thought you might stick around a little bit like obviously you wouldn't stay but then you could always visit but I was wrong obviously," I choked back the tears and swallowed the uncomfortable ball of sadness in my throat as I admitted how scared I was of losing him.

"Lani," Austin sighed obviously upset too, "you're not stupid. I wish that was how it was going to happen and if I didn't have another tour straight away I would but I have to go. We'd just be doing this long distance, I love you and I'm willing to try that," his words made me feel a little better, it was comforting knowing he wasn't just leaving me.

"You'd come back and see me?" he nodded as he downed a mouthful of pasta.

"Of course baby," he smiled softly as he held onto my hand across the table. "How about you say we go have a shower and then head to bed," he smirked at his double meaning of the word 'bed' making me blush. He stood from his chair and gracefully stepped around to my side of the table and began to lift me from my chair but I stopped him.

"Do you think I could walk their myself?" he didn't reply, not even with a simple nod or shake to the head, he just stared at me shocked as I pushed my arms down on the table and lifted myself from the chair to stand on my own two feet.

"How?" a wash of surprise washed over his freckled face.

"I practice when you're all out but I never got it until Oli showed me how so I just let you guys help but I wanted to show you I can do it. Austin it's great it's like Oli helping me that night woke up my body and my limbs were just like 'hey lets work'!" before he could respond the sudden force of his strong arms wrapped around my waist as he lifted me from my feet and spun me across the room. He placed me back down gently but let go of me standing back so he could watch me balance by myself.

"This is, just wow, I can't even begin to describe how great this is for you. I mean yeah you walking with our help had me excited but now I'm over the fucking moon!" he was like a child all gitty over the ordeal. He took a few more steps back I'm guessing so he could get a full view of me but I moved each foot closer step by step until I could feel his breath on my cold skin.

"So how about that shower?" I joked shrugging off the fact that I'd just taken my first steps since the accident.

"Fuck the shower, you just walked Leilani this is amazing!" he crashed his smooth lips against mine. Our lips moved in sync and he gripped at my hips but I pulled back a little giving him a pout. I was more interested in the shower now than I was before, hungry for his body on mine.

"Aw but I was really excited about having that shower, race you there?" I turned away from him and began to speed up the steps I was taking to the bathroom. I could hear his footsteps trailing behind me on the tiles but I still beat him.

"Slow down cowgirl, one step at a time," he joked through gasped laughs as he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind me. As I stared back at our reflections in the mirror I couldn't help but feel at home in his loving hold. I rested my head against his bicep that cradled my body and giggled like a school girl when he kissed the back of my head, "You're beautiful Leilani," I felt my cheeks turn a hot pink and turned around burying my face in his chest in embarrassment but quickly pulled away when I felt what I did eat of my pasta come back up in my throat.

I dove midair to the toilet in a race to flip the lid open as I hurled the contents of my stomach into the porcelain bowl. I shuddered when I felt Austin's calloused hands on my clothed back but quickly relaxed when he began rubbing small circles against my skin. Once I'd managed to stop barfing I wiped my mouth against the shoulder of my dress and flushed the toilet. Lifting myself from the ground I walked to the sink and washed out my vile tasting mouth with mouthwash. The entire time Austin stayed in the room with me worried about me but I knew I couldn't carry off where we left off.

"Sorry I kind of killed the mood, I should probably just get some sleep.." I trailed off annoyed with myself as I yanked my dress over my shoulders. I walked through the door of the bathroom and into the bedroom slamming the weight of my body down onto my side of the bed leaving Austin by himself in the bathroom. I curled up under the blankets so that they covered my face and tried to close my eyes but the rustling of the sheets as Aus climbed in next to me interrupted my chance of shut eye.

"Don't be sorry you can't control that you're not feeling well," he stroked his hand through my tangled hair lightly before cuddling up next to me. I simply nodded against his chest as I yawned and my eyes became heavy.

I took in his scent and relaxed into his warm skin as it felt like we melted together. Aus placed tiny kissed on my shoulder and back calming me into a deep sleep.

Notes
