CHRISTMAS SURPRISES!

Goodbyes & Concerts

*1 month later*

I stand in the airport with tears in my eyes. My arms are around Austin's neck, his arms around my waist. I sniffle.

He kisses my forehead. "Don't cry, Love. I'll be home soon enough for good. I love you. When I get home we have a wedding to plan, yeah."

I bury my face further in his chest and sniffle more, hugging him tighter not wanting to let him go.

"I know. Just hate saying goodbye. Can't wait to plan our wedding."

I lean up and kiss him. "I love you too. 3 months seems like a long time though."

He kisses me back. "I know it does but we'll call, text, Skype, face time. You will also keep yourself busy so it will go by faster."

I sigh and frown, looking down at the floor. He grabs my chin so I'm looking at him.

"Hey." He says softly. "Look at me. Don't frown, smile. I wanna see that beautiful smile before I leave, yeah."

I look at him and smile weakly.

"Close enough. I'm gonna miss you though." He says hugging me tighter.

"I'm gonna miss you too." I say trying to will the tears away but it's not happening.

We stay like that in each others embrace until they call his flight. He hugs me to him and kisses me again, mumbling our 'I love you's' once more, before he pulls away and grabbing his carry on.

He walks away to the plane turning to wave. I frown and start crying harder. I watch him frown before boarding.

I stand there and watch until the plane leaves.

*2 days later.*

I get up and start getting ready. I sigh sadly missing Austin. I send him a quick text.

I go in the kitchen and make a quick breakfast.

*1 hour later*

I pull into mom's driveway getting out and heading inside.

I walk into mom's room.

"Hello?"

She comes out the bathroom. I sit on her bed and text Austin back.

"You almost ready?"

"Yeah." She says putting her flip flops on.

"You ok?"

"Yeah, just missing Austin, but I'll be fine. I'm ready to have fun."

She nods and grabs her purse.

We head out to my car.

"I'm so excited can't believe I get to see Toby. Your the best."

"You have no idea." I say under my breath before clearing my throat.

"You're gonna be so close as well."

We make small talk while heading to the restraunt for lunch.

*2 hours later.*

We head to the New Orleans Superdome blasting Toby's hits.

"I WANNA TALK ABOUT ME, I WANNA TALK ABOUT I, WANNA TALK ABOUT NUMBER ONE OH ME OH MY. WHAT I THINK, WHAT I LIKE WHAT I KNOW, WHAT I WANT, WHAT I SEE . I LIKE TALKING ABOUT YOU, YOU, YOU, USUALLY BUT OCCASIONALLY I WANNA TALK ABOUT MEEEE.

YOU. YOU. YOU. YOU. YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU. I WANNA TALK ABOUT ME."

We continue to sing and laugh and have fun.
----------
We finally make it to the dome. I pull into a garage and park near the top.

We still have some time to waste. The show doesn't start for another two hours so we stand by the car and continue to jam to Toby before its time to go stand in line.

Just as 'Who's That Man' comes on my phone rings.

"Hello?"

"Hey Love, I miss you."

I smile hearing Austin's voice. "I miss you too."

"What are you doing?"

"At the Superdome waiting till it's time to go in."

"Is that my future son-in-law?" Mom asks.

"Yes."

"Hi! Future son-in-law."

I have him on speaker at this point.

He laughs. "Hi! Future mother-in-law."

I roll my eyes.

We talk to Austin for a while.

"I have to go,Love. As much as I don't want to I have to."

I sigh sadly. "I know. I have to get going as well. I'll see you soon though. I love you."

"See you soon. Love you too. Bye."

"Bye." I say hanging up.

I grab my purse and open it making sure I have the tickets and the passes.

I open my door and get out. I wait for mom to get out before locking the door.

(A/n. This next part I'm going off of personal experience when I got to see Garth Brooks live and I was on the floor.)

We wait in line outside of the arena and wait to go in. We talk for a while and sing different Toby Keith songs.

Finally, after what seems like years they start to let us in.

After getting our bags checked we walk through the doors and follow the crowd.

I ask an attendant how to get to the floor seats, he points to the stairs. I nod and thank him.

Mom and I fight through the crowd coming up the stairs to go down the stairs. (A/n. That actually happened at the GB concert except I was by myself and it was very overwhelming for me but it was so worth it in the end.)

We finally make it down the stairs and stand in line for the floor seats.

The line is moving semi slow but we eventually make it to the front.

I hand the lady our papers showing we have floor seats.

She then waves us through pointing at someone behind her.

We walk through and over to the person and they put bands on our wrist.

We walk through to the main corridor.

I stop at the merch stand and buy us a few merchandise. I got mom a T-shirt and picture and me a keychain and rubber bracelet.

After making our purchases, we head through this huge curtain feeling the excitement immediately.

We find our seats. I look at mom with wide eyes after noticing how close we are.

She hugs me. "Thank you so much. Best Christmas present ever."

I smile and hug her back. "You're welcome glad you love it."
==========================

A/n

Oi! This took forever writers block and depression is a bitch.

For the Garth concert I was on the floor by myself in section c so I'm using that for reference except here we were section A row 3.

I've also been busy with my niece and nephews rarely have time to myself anymore except naptime and bed time and by then I want to sleep or read other fics I also don't have WiFi except certain days so its harder to update.

Ummmm that's about it for now.

Next chapter will be the show and meeting Toby also it will be the last chapter before the epilogue sadly but I just don't have much inspiration for this anymore and I have other stories to focus on so the sooner I get this done the faster I can write the others.
