Alan's P.O.V
I could hear them through my bunk, Aaron sounded mad, none of this would of happened if it weren't for me.
"Alan..? Are you awake I need to talk to you..." I hear Austin shuffle his feet waiting for a reply
"Austin maybe you should let him rest, the doctor gave him some painkillers for the cuts, talk to him later" whispers Phil.
"But I need him no-"
"Oh you need him now do you?!, where were you when he needed you the most Austin, you are his best friend and you just ignored him. You ignored all of us! And when you show your face again and act like everything's okay, that's when you need him!" Aaron explodes at Austin.
"Ughhh" I groan, rolling over. Why can't they just leave me alone and let me be, why is that so hard.
"I hear movement, if you two want to fight it out then go, but outside so that Alan can rest." Well, at least Tino has the right mind set.
Aaron's P.O.V
I nod at Tino, his right. Alan needs his rest and if he wakes up to the sound of us two fighting because of him it might trigger him. I walk outside, leaving Austin to either follow or wuss out.
"Aaron, you need to under-" *SMACK* I slap him, as hard as I can across the face.
"Shut up Austin, I don't need to understand anything! You weren't there when he needed you most, when any of us needed you most. You were gone, you knew he was in love with you, and we all knew you loved him too. But noooo you had to disappear and ruin him, we have shows to do soon and you haven't even seen how sad he looks when he practices, because all it does is remind him of you."
I'm panting as I finish yelling, I watch Austin, he begins to slowly drop to the floor, his face is all red after I slapped him.
"Aaron, I.. I didn't know okay, I just.." his on knees now, I'm starting to feel bad.
"Austin, I'm sorry I hit you I just, his been through so much, I can't let him get hurt anymore, you have to fix things between the two of you no matter what it takes."
I look up and see Alan standing behind him, at the door neither of us had noticed he was there. Did he see me hit Austin? Oh god. I watch as Alan begins to walk towards us not saying anything, he picks Austin off the floor and leads him inside without even looking at me, he must of seen everything.
Austin's P.O.V
My face is burning, Aaron's hand must be imprinted on my face. I knew I fucked up really bad with Alan, but I can't believe how it affected the others. I should never of disappeared, but why is Alan leading me to his bunk, it must be the drugs taking effect.
"Alan, I wa-"
"Shhh, austie, it's okay now you're back and that's all the matters"
I watch as Alan leans in to kiss me, oh god it has to be the drugs, I can't deny him anymore. I lean in and kiss him, his lips were softer than what I had ever imagined oh my gosh. Wrapping my arms around him in the bunk, I begin to pull away. In the dim light I can see him pouting.
"Austie! I want more" he whimpers to me
I kiss him softly again before pulling away, I pull him against my chest and run my fingers along his back until he falls asleep, this is the moment I've wanted for so long. Its everything I imagined plus more.
