Welcome To The Fallout - A Crown The Empire fic

You're an artist

Once I got up from the table, I felt something shake me. I shreaked. I looked behind me, it was Bennett. I covered my face with one hand. Does anyone realize that when someone pinches my sides I squeal or scream? I wished that nobody knew that now. I think I woke up the rest of the bus. 

"Sorry, everyone! It's Ben's fault!" I whispered.

"You okay?" Ben asked.

"I'm fine, just don't do that ever again, you hear me?" I say.

"I hear you. So I saw Brandon and you make up. How are you now?"

"We're fine, I just had my first kiss." I stuttered.

"Awww, that's so cute." He pinched my cheeks.

"Stoppp thattttttttt" I whine.

"Okay, but how was that?" Ben winked.

"It was nice." I say awkwardly.

"I bet it was more than that." He winked more.

"It was just a kiss. No. Big. Deal." 

"Okay. Anything else you want to tell me?" 

"Not really, but I guess now you know everything."

"I take it I do." 

"Okay, well I need to get back to Brandon." I say walking back to the table.

"Go get him, girl!" Ben said putting his hand on his hip and walking away.

I rolled my eyes. Once I got back Brandon turned my notebook around and saw all my drawings inside. All I could feel was embarassment. I want to say all these things, but I don't say a thing.

"You're a good artist!" He pointed to one of the drawings of a pin-up girl with curly hair and tattoos on her.

"Thanks, that's not one of my best, but I appreciate your complement." I started to blush. My hands were pressed to my cheeks and trying to hide the redness on my face.

"You're cute when you're blushing." 

"Thanks." I bit my lip and let go.

"How long have you been into drawing?" 

"Since I was really young, I just loved to draw and write all the time. It was kinda like a getaway for me." 

"That's cool, I've always been into music, I never had a dull moment when I had an instrument around."

"Aww, did you put on shows for your family?"

"All the time, whenever we had visitors around, I would make them happy."

"That's so cute."

"I can do that for you if you wanted me to." 

"Sure, anytime." I smiled.

Brandon got up and got his guitar and started to tune it. The rest of the guys came out of the bunk area and started making sarcastic comments, I smiled at each comment. Brandon tried to shoo them away, but they would just keep coming back. Unfortunately, they wouldn't leave so they were there when Brandon serenaded me with one of their songs called, Lead Me Out Of The Dark. I couldn't help, but cry. It was just so kind of Brandon to do this for me.
