Say We Will Fly {Saywecanfly fanfiction}

Nine

So I'm skipping to the last tour date of Warped. I know this destination is Not accurate, but who gives a fuck?

"I'm glad to be going home, but I'll miss Warped." Braden frowned

"Ahhhh don't be pouty!" I pinched his cheeks "There's always next year."

"Yeah, I know, but I want to make this one special." He said

"Well I know we can do that." I smiled

"What do we do after Warped?" He asked

"I guess we could do independent touring, but I was really hoping to take a few college courses."

"Oooooh what ya gonna study?" He asked like an eager puppy

"Psychology." I said

He looked at me weird

"I'm not gonna be a psychologist, I'm just studying it."

He looked relieved

"You can't have a full time job on the road," I said

"Maybe... We could buy a house together..." Braden said

"Really?" I asked unsure he was talking to me

"Yeah! It'd be awesome Aud! We could have Cook outs and stuff, we could have neighborly friends. You know." He said

"That sounds perfect, but I want to get the hell out of Canada!" I said

"We'll decide on a destination laterrr."

I got up to get an Evian and I was slapped on the butt by Braden, I glared at him

"I will be back." I said in my best terminator voice

Let's just say I got him back that night...

****

We finally arrived at our last destination, Maryland Heights, Missouri. But there weren't just teens here, there were kids, like ten year olds... And parents. Lots of those.

We got to our venue after hanging with BVB for awhile and finished our normal routines, hair, makeup, wardrobe etc...

In the middle of the concert Braden came over to me on stage and pulled out his phone and snapped a selfie with me.

"Okay everyone I want you all to check my Twitter, like right now and if someone doesn't have Twitter, show them."

I checked his Twitter to find the selfie with the caption,

"Hanging with my girlfriend @AudTaylor in the middle of the concert"

This took me back a bit because we had decided to let the fans figure it out. Suddenly the crowd seemed to shout it all at once "SHE'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND???!!!"

I looked at him shocked and then hugged him.

His picture had hundreds of comments within minutes

Undeserving bitch...

Ahhhh so happy for you two!

Awwww look at the two emo fags together!

After the concert we were backstage meeting fans when a girl who looked to be about 14 came up to us. She was very pale, short, a bit too thin, and she had these piercing blue eyes that could stab you. She wore all black and her arms were not only covered with scars, but bruises too. She didn't try as hard to hide the bruises on her arms as she did the ones on her face.

"Hi! What's your name?" Braden and I asked

"Addilyn."

"And how old are you?" I asked

"I'm 13."

"Cool! It's good to know we have a younger fanbase!" Braden said

After she was done talking to Braden I led her to the lounge and asked her to sit.

"I don't have long to talk... My boyfriend is waiting." She said

"Who drove you to warped?" I asked

"My brother. Is there something you needed?" She asked

"I want to know if you're being abused. I can see your bruises. All of them."

She suddenly broke into tears and I comforted her until she was ready to talk

"Yes. My mother does hurt me more than occasionally. It's no big deal though."

I could only say three words to her

"Tell. Your. Teacher."

She nodded, but I knew she wouldn't. Why didn't people want to be helped?

****

We finally made it back to Braden's empty apartment and he grabbed me from behind.

"Aud?"

"Yeah, Braden?" I asked enjoying his warm embrace

"Dress nice. We're going out..." He released me and walked away
