On the Road- Awsten Knight Waterparks

Chapter Thirty Two

Isla's POV:

As we sat on a patch of dewy grass besides the Eiffel tower, I watched the smile on Awsten's face as he people watched. Suddenly he turned to face me.

"How you feeling?" His fingers entwined with my own.

"To be honest, I don't know." I sighed. "It's like I'm so grateful to be here with you, but at the same time it's all going to be over tomorrow and I feel terrible that our last day together is filled with my drama."

"Isla, none of this is your fault. Seriously, stop thinking that you're somehow making my life worse because from the moment I met you, there's been this unexplainable glow that lights me up on the dark days and makes the good days feel ten times better. There's no one who I'd rather be sat here with but you." His face was painted a beautiful picture, with his smile being the centrepiece.

"It's hard to not think the worse. I'm having to relearn how I see myself and the world, it's exhausting. I've just spent so long stuck in rut, thinking so lowly of myself." I stirred the straw in my coffee to distract my brain.

"I just need you to let me love you. I'm not going to hurt you and you're not going to hurt me, I promise." He lifted my chin so I was looking at him.

"How do you know that?" I avoided his gaze.

"I just do. I care about you so fucking much." His fingers brushed loose strands of my hair behind my ear.

I remained silent. I just didn't know what to say.

"We can do this." Awsten added, before pressing his lips to mine.

"Ugh!" I dramatically laid in the grass. "Why do you have to be so cute and supportive?" I whined.

"Because I'm an angel." Awsten laid besides me and snuggled into my side.

"Yeah that's right, give me all the cuddles." I laughed pulling him closer.

********
The last show of the EU tour was a blur. It was filled with frantic packing, perfecting the stage, making sure everything was running as smooth as possible, but mostly importantly celebrating.

We all went to a late night dinner, (that had vegan options thank God!) and just made some amazing tour memories.

We all witnesses and laughed at Geoff spilling his Mac and cheese all down his shirt, which then caused Jawn to choke on his beer and have it come out of his nose. It was a genuinely fun time.

Mia told us that she wouldn't be doing roadie work anymore and that she's got an interview at bbc news for a long-term lighting gig.

We were just enjoying our last moments of the tour. It was truly bittersweet.

As we all walked back to the bus for the final time of the tour, Awsten and I walked slightly behind everyone else. Hand in hand.

"I'm going to Skype you everyday. I would FaceTime you but you just have to have an android." He laughed.

"Dude, I have a fucking Mac in my studio space." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah but I won't be portable, I wanna be able to come with you if you go to the toilet." I looked at him concerned for his mental state.

"The fact that you look semi serious about that worries me deeply." I laughed.

"I'm going to miss you, beautiful, I'll get any Isla content I can get, even if it's the sound of you peeing." He tried to say with a straight face but failed miserably.

"You know what, I just realised what a creep you are and have decided to break up with you." I smirked.

"I hate you." He said smiling adorably.
