Let Love Consume Us (An Austin Carlile Fan Fiction)

Star Wars

"Hay!!! Hay!!! Wake up, you sleepy head, you!!!!" Raven was jumping up and down on my bed, laughing.
"Oh my frikin glob... I hate you." I spoke, trying to pry my eyes open.
"You love me. Now move! Getcha cute butt dressed!" She smacked me on the butt, and ripped the covers and sheets off the bed.
"HOLY SHIT!! IT'S FREEZING" The air was crisp, probably from me keeping the air conditioner on all night. But this got me moving. I ran to the bathroom and closed the door. I heard Raven laughing, as she plopped down on my bed.

I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair waved down a little passed my shoulders, and had different natural highlights. By the way my face was glowing, I already knew it was going to be a good day. I put on my makeup, and realized I had left my clothes in my room. As I walked out of the bathroom in only a bra and underwear, Raven was no where to be seen, I grabbed my clothes.

I didn't want to look in the mirror when I was getting dressed. I knew what was there, but I didn't want to remember.

After I was finished, I looked in the mirror. I felt confident in my new clothes. The pants fit just right, and my shirt was fabulous. I haven't tried the shoes just yet tho. I stared at the mirror, and something was missing. Belt.

I walked to my closet to look around, but when I opened it, I didn't see clothes or a belt. Raven jumped out, and screamed as loud as she could. Making me scream as well.
"You shoulda seen your face!!" and just like that she was on my bed laughing. I just looked at her. Her short black hair was thick, but when she straightened it, It looked perfect. Her skin was like just coming from a beach. Not because she tanned all the time. Nope, she was just Mexican. That was an inside joke. This girl was a vampire. You couldn't make her tan.
"Hurry up, hun! I want my coffee." She said smiling.
"I know, I'm just looking for a belt." I said as I turned toward the closet. "But which one shall I wear?" I said in a British accent.
"I don't know, darling." Her British accent was always better than mine, "Why don't we go along with the Star Wars theme." She said while reaching for my Millennium Falcon belt buckle.
"You sure about that?" I raised an eyebrow while I looked at her.
"Shush, yes." I trusted her, so I did as she said. I put on my belt and grabbed my shoes (They fit perfectly), and started walking out of my room. Raven followed suit, and closed my door. I passed Hannah's room and peeked in. They were still asleep. "Remind me to text her" I whispered to Raven, who was just behind me. She nodded. We walked to the garage and opened it.
"I hope you know you're driving." She said while hoping into my front seat.
"Okays." I loved my car. It was a 97' Saturn. All the kids wanted new cars like a new Chevy, or a Charger. I just wanted something reliable. So, when we picked out my car, I grabbed the one with the most character. He is now known as Zak.
I smiled.

I plugged my iPod into the stereo and played my new favorite song. Purified.
"What. is. this." Raven said while trying to grab at my iPod.
"Of Mice & Men" I said, not realizing that I blushed.
"You're blushing.. why are you blushing?" She nudged me playfully.
"I'm going to their concert today.." I looked at her qyickly, trying not to look off the road for to long. Her nose was turned up. She didn't like then at all.
"Fine.." I said while handing her my iPod. "Play some 69 Eyes." I said smiling. "Wait, no, play HIM"
"You know me to well." She flipped threw the albums until she found what she wanted.

We drove to the coffee shop talking about random things on the roads, while The Sacrament played in the background.

When we got there, we got out and walked to the door. I ordered a chai tea, and she got a a regular coffee. After making the drinks to our liking, we picked a booth and sat down. I told her everything that happened in the previous days, and she told me about Christian.
"I'm gonna have to meet him. He sounds awesome. Are you gonna date him?" I made a kissing noise and she just looked down.
"I don't think we will." I stopped and looked at her. She was even more confused then I was with Zak.

When me and Raven got to the house, I saw my dad's truck in the driveway. My mother was gone. As I walked into the house, I saw him in the living room. He was sitting on the couch, watching some TV. My father has always been handsome. You'd never think he was as gentle as he could be. His hair slightly above his shoulders, had the same natural highlights as my own, and his jaw was covered with hair. He's had one ever since I could remember. I walked over and wrapped my arms around his shoulders and laid my head on his back.
"Hey punkin" He said without hesitation.
"Hey, daddy, How'd you know it was me?" I was slightly surprised, he hadn't even seen me come in.
"I know my daughter." I let him go, and he stood up. At 6'1", He looked terrifying to most people, but to me he was daddy. The first man I'd ever love, and who I'd run to whenever I was in trouble, hurt, or sad. I walked over to him and hugged him.
"You okay?" I said as I let go.
"I'll be fine, baby, your mom just needs some time." Time for what? I just looked at him. "Whats your plans for today?" He asked while walking to the kitchen.
"Well, I'm going to a concert with Alyn, and Hannah" I looked down at my feet and swayed.
"Oooh, really now? Who you gonna go see?" He raised his eyebrow. So that's where I get that from?
"Of Mice & Men." I said, smiling with teeth.
"Alrighty, just be careful" He smiled.
"Always."

I walked up the stairs to Hannah's room, and knocked.
"Come in!" I heard Hannah say, so I opened the door.

Hannah was sitting on the bed doing her makeup, while Alyn put on his shoes.
"How long?" I asked while sitting on the bed.
"30 Minutes."

Raven walked up the stairs and said goodbye, hugging me and telling me to have a good time.
"Text me when you get home, okay?" She said.
"Of course" I smiled at her, and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Be careful." I shouted down the stairs as she was walking down the stairs.
"I will!"
