Love Will Find It's Way. {Austlan Cashby} BoyxBoy

Epilogue.

{@CarlileAshbyIrwin is the winner of the contest on chapter twenty-four. I just want to say thank you so much for reading my story, it means a lot! Secondly, it's okay to be unsure about your sexuality. I'm going to be honest, I was also unsure of whether or not I liked girls or boys and it turns out I like both. Yeah, that's right I'm bisexual and there is nothing wrong with that! Don't ever be ashamed of being you, whether it's being transgender, lesbian, gay, bisexual or straight. You seem like an awesome person by the way! Have a great day :)}

"And now I sing for everything that I've lost. And now I scream for everything that I've loved. Everything."

Austin's voice cracks and he stops, he breathes heavily as he stares out at the cheering crowd. He looks down at his naked chest and stare's at his tattoo that is directly where his heart is. The tattoo was a heart, not one of those hearts you see everyone drawing, but a heart that you would find in someone's body. In the middle of the heart, Alan's name is written in cursive. He smiles as tears make their way down his cheeks and he looks over at his band members. They're all standing there looking at Austin with concerned looks and he just smiles in return as he brings the mic back to his mouth.

"That part always gets me." He laughs a little before continuing. "It reminds me that I lost my mom, my ex wife and the love of my life, Alan. But then it reminds me that I love all of you guys, my band, my family, my life and Alan Ashby. He'll always have my heart."

The crowd screams and they all start singing the beginning of Another You. The band takes the hint and starts to play, Aaron sings with the crowd and Austin just smiles at everyone.

"Say anything, say anything, say anything that can make this all okay. Take it away, take it away, take away all of this empitness I feel cause I will never find another you. Another you, another you."

Austin places his hand over his heart as he sings his parts and Aaron glances at him every now and then. Ever since that day in the hospital, they've all taken the role of watching Austin because that's what Alan wanted. He wanted them to make sure he was healthy. But Austin only wanted Alan by his side and he wishes nothing more but to be in Alan's arms. The heartbreak and trauma that Austin faced was enough to get him going to therapy for a year and a half. He's taking the situation a lot better now but he still can't help but tear up whenever he talks about how Alan saved his life.

The band was excited to be back on the road after taking almost two years off from touring for Austin's sake. The fans understood and constantly sent things to each of the guys. Of course they kept those things from Austin for a whole year until he could handle seeing pictures of Alan. Austin was pissed at first but he respected their decision and thanked them for helping him.

A lot of bands came out to see the Of Mice guys and to pay their respects, but the one band that came every month was Issues. They wanted to be there for them and they wanted them to know that they weren't alone. Everyone thought that Austin would just give up and take his life but he surprised them all and got better. He showed them all how strong he truly was and from that day on, he's been fighting to keep his strength for himself and others around.

To say that Austin was fully recovered is not quite true but he's close. So with the help from close friends, family and fans, Austin believes that everything will get better in no time. Phil, Tino and Aaron continue to show great support towards Austin.

Austin's P.O.V:

"So you're telling me that we can't fit in one more song into our setlist?" I ask our tour manager.

"No, all sets have to be cut short due to the incoming storm. Once it hits, we won't have time to pack everything up. It's suppose to come around 6, meaning we have to close the whole thing up by 4." He explains.
