On the Road- Awsten Knight Waterparks

Chapter Eleven

Isla's POV:

My alarm went off at 8am. I groaned at the annoying jingle but remembered why I set it. I was about to go on my first date with Awsten.

I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower to heat. The hot silky water soothed all tense muscles and achy joints, OMG I'm literally an 80 year old.

After turning the shower off, I wrapped my white towel around my frame. I stepped out of the bathroom to find an outfit for my date.

"Morning." I jumped and snapped my head around to see a sleepy looking Awsten.

"Literally you need a bell! Morning." I wrapped my towel tighter, just incase.

"Sorry. Do you mind if I use the bathroom? I'll be like 5, 10 minutes." Awsten ran his fingers through his fading hair.

"No go for it. I still need to figure out what to wear." I chuckled.

"You'd look beautiful in a trash bag." Awsten laughed.

"It's a bin bag but thanks." I blushed.

Awsten walked into the bathroom.

"It smells so good in here! It smells like you!" I heard him shout, disregarding the rest of the sleeping bus.

I started to search my bag for a suitable outfit. If we were going for breakfast and a walk, it needs to be casual and warm.

I grabbed my nice mustard jumper and ripped blue jeans. I also got my nice matching black bra and knickers, not that I would be doing anything, I just feel confident in them. Don't ask!

I had plaited my hair last night so it would be cute and wavy.

Awsten had finished in the bathroom and left it extremely steamy. I got in and wiped away the condensation from the mirror.

After getting dressed and brushing my teeth, I decided to just do my makeup and hair on the sofa in the back room with natural light.

I did a simple natural eye with a not too dramatic winged eyeliner. I coated my face lightly with my liquid foundation. I'm not the palest shade they sell! I'm the second palest. I guess you could say I'm pale with a ghost obsession. Wow I hate myself.

I filled in my eyebrows with my natural brown hair colour even though I have green hair but I'm a rebel. Then finally exfoliated my lips with a sugar scrub that tastes amazing, and put some lip balm on.

I untied my plaits and added some dry shampoo onto my roots and salt spray to enhance the waves. I was pretty much ready.

Awsten had gone back into the bathroom, so I put on my blessed avocado socks on and then my docs. I gave myself a final spritz of my perfume and took my phone off charge.

I was ready for my date with Awsten.

He walked out of the bathroom, now clad with some black ripped skinny jeans and a cute ugly jumper. (If you don't know how an ugly jumper can be cute, then I don't want to be your friend.)

He was wearing his glasses, he looked adorable. I blushed.

"You ready to go?" He smiled.

"Yup!" I pushed my hair behind my ear.

"Then let's go." I walked to the door of the bus and opened it. Awsten shut it behind him.

"So I did a little research last night on wear we could grab something to eat. I found this world peace cafe that looked really nice. It's not too far from here." I smiled at his kindness. It hadn't even crossed my mind where we would go, I was too busy freaking out that I had asked Awsten Knight on a date and he agreed.

"That would be awesome thank you!" I hugged him. Awsten held his hand out, I took it. Fuck my palms were sweating he probably thinks I'm gross.

We started to walk in the direction into the town centre, not that Awsten knew but I knew Nottingham quite well. My brother Eli was actually at Nottingham university.

"Why do you look like you know where your going?" Awsten asked.

"Eli, my brother lives here." I laughed.

"Wouldn't you rather see him then go on a date with me?" He looked at his feet.

"No, plus he's coming to the show tonight. He actually really likes you guys. He was the one who took me to the All Time Low concert last year. He got into you guys after that night. I had been telling him how good you were for months before the gig but he never ended listening to you guys until after. I'm sorry I'm blabbering." I blushed and he laughed.

"No no, it's fine. I like listening to you. Wait, did you make him pay for his ticket?" My face dropped when I realised that I could have just had him put on the guest list.

"Oops. I didn't think." We both laughed.

"Give a backstage pass so you guys can hang out a little more." I smiled up at him.

We had gotten to the cafe. We had to use a little bit of Google maps but I got us mostly all the way there.

I ordered some blueberry waffles and a caramel latte and Awsten got chocolate chip pancakes and his infamous orange juice.

"Do you think it's a little weird that there's six and a half years difference between us?" I asked him the question had been playing on my mind ever since I had asked him out.

"Nope. You're mature for your age, I'm immature for my age. It's perfect." I giggled when he stuck his tongue out. "Why do you?"

"Erm, I'm not sure. Like I know in myself that there's nothing wrong with it, but what will other people think?" I sighed.

"You shouldn't care what others think of you." Awsten said, I ran my fingers through my hair.

"I know. I can't help it sometimes. It's just my anxiety plays up and I start listening to it. Seeing some of the fans being a little shitty in comments of that photo, kinda just made it louder." I don't even think I've been that honest with my therapist.

"Wait you have anxiety?" Awsten looked at me, in slight shock.

"Yeah I was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and depression when I was fifteen. I went on medication when I was sixteen but I stopped taking them just over a year ago because I didn't like they way they made me feel blurry." I was being way too heavy for 9:30 in the morning.

"Honestly, I understand. I've been diagnosed too. A lot of people don't see how this loud mouth blue haired singer, could have anxiety. I'm just really good at hiding it. I guess you are too seen as I didn't really notice." I smiled at him, the waitress brought over our drinks. I took a tiny sip of my latte which burnt my tongue.

"The truth is always in the eyes not the smile." Fuck good song lyrics. "Wait I need to write that down!" I took a pen from one of my many jacket pockets. I grabbed Awsten's napkin and wrote it down.

"I do that all the time! I'm always carrying a pen with me." We both laughed. His smile made my heart melt. He was truly beautiful, I was starting to see myself falling for him. No stop Isla. You'll only ruin things.

Our food came and we talked about dogs, music, and tv shows. I was happy.

A/N
Sorry it's a little shorter than usual.
I had a spell of inspiration last week and now I have none. Also I've just been stressed with college and writing my music as well as this.
Entertainment is amazing they are all my favourite!
And can we just appreciate Awsten's voice in tantrum, it brings me life.

Thanks for reading! I feel like this author's note has been longer than the actual chapter😂
