All My Heart: A Very Warped Summer Sequel (Austin Carlile x OC)

A Love Like War

A Love Like War – All Time Low (& Vic Fuentes)

"For a thrill of your touch I will shamefully lust as you tell me we're nothing but trouble. Hearts on fire tonight, feel my bones ignite. It feels like war...and the bitch of it all is that I'm running from the desire of the people to whom I belong...we go together or we don't go down at all. Is this the end of us, or just the means to start again?"

Danielle walked past the Of Mice & Men room as Austin opened the door and walked out. She barely even acknowledged him. The image of that girl standing beside him with his face filled with lust as she whispered something in his ear made her tightly clench her fists at her sides. Austin trailed nervously behind her, keeping his distance.

"Are we meeting fans outside?" He asked.

"No."

"Then where are you going?"

"Back to my bus. I'm expecting someone." She turned around, making him stop short only centimeters from her. "I believe you're expecting someone, too, am I right?" She raised an eyebrow and whipped around, continuing walking.

As she opened the back door, Austin closed it before she could walk outside. She angrily looked at him leering down on her. "Who's going on your bus?"

"Why does it matter? I'm single. I can flirt with whoever flirts with me, right?"

"It's not safe for you to let random guys on your bus. Especially after what happened at Warped."

"He's not a random guy. He's in one of the bands."

Austin's eyes narrowed and then widened. "Vic?"

She laughed. "Please, no. He's in the band from Southern California."

"I'll kill him if he lays one finger on you." His voice was hard.

"Why?"

"You know why."

She stared at him. He stared back, anger deeply set in his pupils. "Get off the door, Austin."

"Not until you promise me you won't do something stupid." His voice sounded shaky.

Danielle suddenly felt really bad. But why? She knew she couldn't have Austin. She knew it wouldn't work. She loved him more than anyone and in some ways, she knew this was a stupid mistake. She just wanted to go back to Austin's bus with him and fall asleep watching some cheesy movie in the back lounge. But she knew that was next to impossible.

So instead, she looked him in the eyes and grabbed his free hand that wasn't leaning on the door. "I promise."

"Put my mind at ease, Dani..." he said quietly. "How many guys have you been with since The Thing?"

Danielle smirked and snorted. She wrenched her hand back and burst through the door. Austin leaned off of it and watched her leave, terrified to wonder what that meant.

"Andrew, our drummer; Erick, our guitarist; Jeff, our bassist; Eddie, our tour manager and Nick, our merch guy." Dani smiled at Jake as she introduced everyone on the bus.

Jake smiled and waved at all of them. "Nice to meet you all."

"I've heard you guys play." Erick said. "Pretty awesome. Could use some work. But I'm not one to talk." He laughed.

Jake shrugged. "A starting band always could use improvements along the way, you know?"

"Exactly, my friend."
