Austin's Perspective:
"Oh my god, this has been a long tour. I love the fans, but I hate the traveling. I can't believe I was sick for the first week of tour. I hope this show turns out to be the best show of the tour considering, I feel like I gave them crummy shows even though, I had fun. I need to finish strong. I kind of miss my girlfriend." I thought to myself, as my tour bus drove into Albuquerque, New Mexico. I decided to look out the window, because the games I brought have gotten kind of boring. When I look outside I see the rain drops sliding down the window. I saw a girl with Reno looking purple looking hair and she was with this guy who seemed to be her brother. He had long blonde hair like mine, but a bit longer, and snake bites. They were smiling and laughing like nothing was wrong. I turned away and picked up my teddy bear, I had named after my girl. I hugged it tight with tears in my eyes. "I miss you Destiny." I said out loud, without realizing it.
Half an hour later my manager woke me up. "Sorry I was...um...taking a nap." I said.
"What's up with the tear stations Austin? I thought everything was just fine." He sat down. "C'mon talk to me." He continued.
"Nothing I just miss Destiny."
"Well this is the lady show and then we're headed back, so you'll get to see her."
"Okay."
"Now, c'mon let's rock Albuquerque, New Mexico." He got up pulling me with him. I got ready for the show made sure my hair was perfect, and I was rocking my own merch. Everything's going so smoothly. 7:30 came, so quickly. I did my warm ups, as the doors opened for an amazing show. I suddenly heard two people arguing. It was my manager, and what sounded like a female. I walked in to put a stop to it and standing there was that girl, that beautiful young girl with the purple hair. She looked at me and smiled. "I'm guessing this is your manager?" She asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"He wants me to help work the show, when I've already paid for my tickets." She said as she held up two VIP, backstage passes to my show.
"How about this?" I said. "What if I gave you money back, and then after the show you can come hang backstage with me for free."
"You can't do that Austin!" Said my manager.
"I understand, its not fair and blah, blah, blah, but I'm not that famous yet. These kids just want to have fun. Just give her a shot. You know her name, not her story." I continued.
"Okay, fine, but when something happens you'll understand." He said, as he walked away.
"Thank you, so much Austin!" Alex said as she ran over and hugged me. I hugged her back tightly and didn't want to let go.
She smelled, and felt just like her. She was, so pretty. She seemed, so gentle and caring, so kind and loving. How could I not give her what she deserved? I'm sure she's done, so much to help others. I pulled back enough and almost kissed her and pulled away real quickly, so she hopefully wouldn't notice.
"So how much were the tickets?" I asked, smiling.
"Did you just...uh...um... never mind. I... uh... I paid $300." She responded.
"Here." I said holding out $300 in cash. She handed me her VIP passes, and left to do her work.
"I can't believe she noticed, shit,I can't believe I almost kissed a most likely underage female instead of my girlfriend. How could I do that to my girl?! I love and care about her so much! She doesn't have to know just as long as I keep quiet." I thought to myself. "I can't do that ever again." I continued.

Alex's Perspective:
"I can't believe I just met Austin Jones. He almost kissed me! I must tell everyone, I can't keep this to myself" I thought to myself as I walked away from Austin. I left the room and headed to where they needed me for security. They want me working the ticket booth. At least I get to watch the show after the first half hour of the show, and they're only the locals. I'm, so happy. I can't wait to hang out with him.
Austin's Perspective:
I whip out my phone and call Destiny. It took her a minute to answer, "Hello?" In the background I heard someone say, "C'mon babe, who is that?" Before I could say anything the phone hung up. Day ruined. My girlfriend of two years is with someone else. I think about texting her, but I don't. I ignore the sudden pain that surges through my body. I throw the bear that I have named after her in the trash. I keep repeating what just happened over and over in my head. I can't help it. Its eating at me. "What did she tell him? Did she tell him I was just a friend? An ex-boyfriend? Or worse, a wrong number?" I think to myself. I continue to attempt to shrug it off. I hear a knock on the door for my bus. I sigh as I walk over and open the door pretending to be alright. When I do there's Alex standing there. I blush slightly but not noticeably. "Hey!" She exclaimed enthusiastically. I get her pretending to be alright. "Hey, I was just leaving the bus. What's up?!" She doesn't buy it.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't wanna talk about it"
"Anything I can do to help?" I want to tell her no, but something else inside me tells me I should try to get with her after what just happened with Destiny.
"Nah, don't worry about it." I say with a smile. "How old are you?" I continue on as we start our way toward the stage.
"I'm 16" she says. I knew she wasn't of age. I feel a slight disappointment cross over me. "Why?" She adds.
"I was just wondering. So what made you come to my bus?"
"Your ass of a manager sent me to grab you. Scarless is opening up for you right now. They're close to finishing."
"I'd rather you come grab me than him." I mumble.
"What was that?"
"I dont feel like playing the show tonight."
"You have too!"
"I know. I'm going too. I just don't feel it." We're almost at the stage.
"Oh okay. You sure there's nothing i can do to help?" I think for a second and before I say and turn to kiss her. We lock lips. We kiss for awhile, putting my hand gently on the side of her face. Her lips locked with mine feels perfect. Hers are so soft. I finally pull away slowly.
"We'll talk after the show." I say as I walk onto the stage.
