Come Around

I couldn't believe Lynn and her band had finally done it... It was amazing! It was a once in a lifetime chance and she got it! I can't even remember a time when she wasn't successful. As soon as that EP dropped...it was history.

"I'm so happy for you." I mumbled, kissing her forehead as we stood in the middle of the band's brand new tour bus. 

"Thanks." She squeaked lightly, holding me close. "You're coming on tour, right?"

"Definitely. I took a semester off." I rejoiced. As excited as I was to go on tour and travel with Lynn, I was a little more excited about not having to go to school. 

"Oh...hey guys!" Brian and Alex stepped on. Lynn and I separated. 

Our relationship was a sensitive thing. Sure, Alex and Brian knew, but no one else knew; not our parents, not our other relatives, and even not her fans. I never worry about it. I like staying out of the limelight. I don't know how Lynn deals with all of the publicity!

"I'll leave you guys to enjoy the bus." I smiled at them and headed off.

I waited right outside the bus, addicted to my phone screen. I heard them laughing on the bus. I started to even feel a little bit left out! Taking a bigger look, this was a big thing...hundreds of thousands of people would pay close attention to her and the band...

"I'm just tired of keeping it a secret, you know?" I overheard, breaking out of my deep thought. I peered through the shades, my eyes barely reaching the window.

"I got'cha." Alex nodded. Their voices were muffled from behind the bus' metal walls. 

"Have you talked to her yet?" Brian asked, crossing his arms. I had no idea she felt this way. My heart started to hurt. I didn't want her to feel like she couldn't share things with me...

"No." She sighed, biting her lower lip. God, I loved it when she did that. "She likes the intimacy..." My heart fluttered, knowing that she cared overpowered her reluctancy to speak to me.

"Maybe you should." Alex continued Brian's thought. "It wouldn't hurt. You've been together since before the band got together."

"I guess." She smiled at them sweetly. "I'm going to head out for lunch."

I panicked and looked away, acting like I wasn't eavesdropping. My phone glowed into my face again. 

"Hey, (Y/N)." She smiled, acting as if the previous conversation never happened. "Wanna' go get some food?"

"Uh, sure. I think I left something on the bus though." My lies were horrible, but she nodded and headed out to our car.

"Brian, Alex..." I addressed the two of them. They were rooting through the little added compartments and extras on the bus. 

"Hey!" Alex greeted me. "Bus is fuckin' sweet." Brian just gave him a weird look. 

"Right...well, I need you guys' help." I looked at the two of them. I now had their full attention. "I overheard your conversation." I held no guilt whatsoever. 

"Oh...yeah." Brian blushed and looked away. "What'd you have in mind?"

"I want to surprise Lynn on stage." My eyes were wide with excitement. "In between one of your songs, I want to come out on stage and...ya' know...kiss her." My own blushing set in.

My mind raced after that. I wanted it to go down perfectly. I had so many different ideas, but knowing me I'd just be too in the moment to really focus on a plan. I had a few more days before it would all have to go down.

I stood side stage, watching my beautiful girl bounce around and sing her heart out on stage. The crowd was going crazy and I was just thankful that the five hour drive was over. I had many more hours to go but for right now...it was show time. 

St. Patrick had just finished. Mirrors started to slowly play in the background and my heart was pumping. Lynn was having a moment with the crowd and that was when Brian and Alex motioned me out on stage.

I slowly walked out: calm, cool, and collected. The crowd's eyes shifted and Lynn turned around with a shocked look on her face.

I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and kissed her roughly on the cheek.

"Oh, hey..." Lynn's face turned pink and her voice was bubbly. 

"I figured it was time to tell them." I whispered in her ear. A smile grew ear to ear on her as she introduced me confidently to the crowd. 

What a feared was no more. The crowd cheered wildly for us and Mirrors started full on playing. I have no idea what I was so worried about!
