When You Can't Sleep At Night (Austin Carlile)

Melanie's POV

I ran from mine and my brother's apartment crying. Alan and I had gotten into another fight. He was still pissed that I dropped out of college to be merch girl for him and the guys' band. College wasn't my thing anyway. I hated it and I was still being bullied. I ran to the only person I could trust right now to comfort me. Austin. He was my best friend and I was secretly in love with him. I ran to his house and I knocked on his door. He answered and pulled me in for a hug instantly. "Mel everything will be okay, I promise. Alan will eventually calm down and understand." He said rubbing my back. "No Austin, he won't he never does." I sobbed. He smiled at me and wiped away my tears. Thank god I wasn't wearing any makeup or I would look like a raccoon. "Want me to play for you? That always makes you feel better." He said. I nodded yes. I walked over to the couch and sat down while he went to get his guitar. He came back and sat down next to me. He started strumming and I recognized the song. It was my favorite When You Can't Sleep At Night. He finished and I felt so much better. I hugged him tightly. "Thanks Austin." I said. "Anything for you Melanie." He said. "So Austin you never told me who that song was about." I said. He looked down and twiddled his thumbs. "It's about you." He mumbled. I placed my hand under his chin and brought his gaze up to mine. "It's about me." I said. "Yes Mel, ever since I first met you I've been falling for you. I love you Melanie Elizabeth Ashby." He said. He kissed me and I kissed back. "I love you too Austin Robert Carlile." I said. He smiled and pulled me on his lap. I cuddled my face into his chest as he kissed my head. I finally have the man of my dreams.
