Idols and Anchors [Austin Carlile]

Chapter 14 - Oh, Calamity!

The end if Warped Tour was slowly creeping it's way to us. We were all sad it was coming to an end but we were excited for the tours after that.

Flyzik managed to get a tour together with om&m. Weird mix of music but the fans were stoked nonetheless. A small underground band was the starting band, then ATL was opening for om&m. Austin had invited me to join them on tour and I was beyond stoked. I didn't have to deal with the heartbreak of him having to leave me.

I was also happy I could still stick with a band that I knew. More long parties with my best friends and I couldn't be more happier waking up with a massive hangover from them. But we had another week of warped before that could happen. Lately ever since Jack found out Alan and I had sex, he's been a little close but distant. He hasn't told me about his one night stands like he does almost every morning, but he's been hugging me more than usual and taking me to places alone. I was slightly confused at Jack being more affectionate but I'm pretty sure he just was being friendly.

I was currently watching a movie and cuddling with Austin when I received a text.

Barakitty: hey ugly, want to go get some Starbucks in a little? I know Austin has a set so I thought you could use some company while he was away.

Me: sure loser, but you're paying ;)

Barakitty: fine :c but I'm pretty sure you'll owe me Taco Bell then.

Me: ugh fine, ass face.

Austin got up to get ready, as did I. I put on a pair of high waisted black shorts and a cardigan over my tank top. I quickly shoved my feet into my Creepers and grabbed my 'crew' laminate to put around my neck. I gave Austin a quick peck on the lips and made my way to the Starbucks down the street.

I entered the inside to order a caramel frappucino, extra caramel sauce on the whip cream. I smiled to myself as I took my first sip of the creamy coffee.

I saw Jack walk in with Alex following close behind, and order their drinks.

They then made their way towards me and sat down.

"Yo ugly, you look like a loner boner."

"But you guys have now saved me from my thoughts and stopped me from looking lonely." I smiled.

"I think we deserve something for being your saviors." Jack winked at me.

We practically talked nonsense the entire time, until we realized it was actually getting dark. They had performed first thing this morning, so we didn't have to worry about any interruptions.

Finally we decided it was time to get out of there and return to our buses. I went to quickly buy an extra coffee for Austin. When I turned around, I realized Alex and Jack were no where to be found. Great.

I shook my head slightly annoyed and left Starbucks to walk by myself.

I turned the corner of the building to get back.

"BOO!!" Jack and Alex screamed to scare me. I jumped up, letting the coffee go, making it spill all over my white tank top. I screamed as I tried to cover my bra with my arms.

"Jack! Alex! You assholes! God dammit help me!!"

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry Hailey! Here..." Jack took off his shirt then handed it to me. I quickly took off mine, not caring that they watched me. I pulled on Jack's 'boner' shirt suddenly more happy I wasn't drenched in coffee.

Suddenly, it started to rain out of nowhere. My hair started to curl up and my makeup dripped, making me feel like a raccoon.

We ran all the way to the buses, and Alex left to their bus. Jack ran with me to om&m's bus and we stopped running, catching our breath.

My hair was in my face and quickly, Jack tucked the hair behind my ear, and wiped the water from under my eyes with his thumbs. He had this look in his eyes that I've never seen before and truthfully I like the way he was looking at me. He started leaning in closet and soon before I knew it, his lips were on mine.

"Oh my god, Hailey. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that, I'm so fucking sorry. God dammit Jack, you know she's with Austin, fuck!"

"Jack! Jack! Calm down it's okay. Don't worry, it was actually kind of.... Nice."

I pulled his face in again and started kissing him. What was wrong with me? How could I be doing this? I pulled away and kissed his cheek before going back on the bus. I immediately regretted it but I couldn't get it out of my head.

The way Jack looked at me before he kissed me was mesmerizing. I don't remember Austin ever looking at me that way before. Why was I so caught up with this kiss?

I can't cheat on Austin. He's been cheated on before, I can't. I just can't. I won't. Being broken hearted isn't fun and I can't do that to him.

~ Austin's POV ~

I haven't seen Hailey all day. We had a set today and a photoshoot. I haven't seen her and I miss we. She's changed me so much and I love her with all my heart.

I decided to search around for her, she had to be here somewhere. She wasn't on our bus, she hadn't even answered my texts. Where was she?

I walked onto the PTV bus and she wasn't here either. What the hell!

I looked at my phone right before I was going onto ATL's bus.

Babe: sorry I was hanging out. See you in a few seconds.

The bus opened and Hailey stepped out. She looked a little upset before she completely ran into me.

"Oh sorr- oh hi babe."

"Hey where have you been?"

"Oh I was just hanging with Alex and Jack. We had a 'girls' day." She said laughing. I smiled at her and went down to kiss her neck. She shifted away from me and ran towards the bus, laughing. I laughed and ran after her. God she's amazing.

~ Hailey's POV ~

Fuck. I had to run. He was so close to seeing the fucking hickey Jack gave me. I feel like shit. My life fucking sucks. I'm stuck in this hole with no way out.

~ Jack's POV ~

"Dude, do you not realize how wrong this is? Hailey is dating Austin. If he finds out he'll cancel the next your, he'll hate you and you'll ruin everything Jack! Please for the sake of the band, and so Austin won't beat the living shit out of you, please stop seeing Hailey. She doesn't need to be broken hearted again, and neither does Austin."

I wasn't really listening to what Alex had to say. But I know what he was talking about. He was right and I really should stop before someone gets hurt. I don't want to lose Austin or Hailey as a friend. What do I do? This has to stop now. I can't risk getting caught and losing people I care about. Fuck me man.

~ Austin's POV ~

I knew something was up when Hailey kept dodging my kisses. Then she just left to go meet up with Jack. What is with her? She's been over there quite a lot these past couple of days.

I left to walk towards the ATL bus and heard yelling from the inside.

"Jack what the fuck! I told you this needs to stop! Hailey what the hell are you doing anyway?! You really are going to break Austin's heart?! If he finds out you guys are dead. Come on, he's been cheated on once, he doesn't need to feel this again. Two times is more than enough. Please stop this!" I heard Alex yell."

Wait. Hailey is... Cheating on me? WITH JACK?!

I walked on the bus and immediately saw Hailey tear up.
