The boy next door (with Austin Butler)

chapter 17

(Indias pov)

🦋5th August 2019🦋

I wake up to Austin's voice coming from the bathroom.

"India!! You need to wake up!!"

I get up and walk into the bathroom to see austin drying his hair, except his hair is black.

"Oh my goodness, that suits you so well!" I walk up behind him and wrap my arms around him resting my chin on his shoulder.

"Thank you sweetheart. First day of shooting and I'm a bit nervous."

"Hey you will be fantastic, I promise." I kiss his cheek and smile at him.

"I'm really glad you will be there, my little cheerleader."

I walk out the bathroom and go over to my wardrobe and grab a black summer dress and put it on. I walk over to the dresser table and start putting on makeup.

"Baby girl, you dont need makeup, your perfect." Austin walks in putting on a t-shirt.

"I want to make a good impression babes."

"They are going to love you! Dont worry about it." He kisses my head and sits on the bed and goes on his phone.

"Hey, India. Whats this?" He asks.

I turn around and he shows me his phone. I look and its the tweet I posted. It had gone viral.

"I- Well, everyone was being so mean and i couldn't take it. They got to me so I had to say something."

"Hey, you cant let them get to you. Its you I want or I wouldn't be here right now." He says whilst walking over and wrapping his arms around me.

"I know but so many people hate me, the press and your fans made a complete fool out of me."

"Listen, you cant let them get to you. You are perfect and if they cant see that then they are no fans of mine."

"Thank you baby" I say turning back to finish my makeup.

I finish my makeup and curl my hair and put it half up half down. I grab my bag and car keys and we head to the car. The whole car ride we sang along to Elvis and finally we arrive. I follow Austin to his trailer and watch him get his makeup and hair done. I look at his face and he seems nervous. Once all the stylists had left the room I walk over to him. I kneel down infront of him and look up at his beautiful blue eyes.

"Aus, whats up?" I ask with a worried look on my face.

"Just nerves baby, I'll be ok." He replies shaking his leg.

"Hey, look at me. Just look at me Aus." I put my hands on his cheeks and guide his face to look at me. We lock eyes and he looks petrified. "You are going to kill it, coming from.the biggest elvis fan ever babes. I'm proud of you no matter what ok?"

"I couldn't ask for a better girl." He smiles and kisses me.

Mid kiss I hear the trailer door open. I look up and see Baz stood at the door.

"Sorry for interrupting but we are ready on set, and whose this lovely lady?" He smiles and gives me a hug.

"I'm India, Austin's girlfriend. You must be Baz! I've been an Elvis fan since I was young. I'm so glad you have brought back his legacy to live on through another generation. I am so sorry it's Austin your here for and I'm rambling." I laugh.

"Its fine darling, its good to hear that and your a very lucky lady." He shakes my hand and looks over at Austin.
"You ready to go?"

"Yeah, its now or never." He stands up and walks over to me.
"You coming?"
