Would You Still Be There

Dealing with my mother.

After the show was finished, I met Austin back at the bus. "Hey!" he said pulling me into a hug. "Hey there" I said with a giggle. "Would you like to come to the bonfire with the bands tonight?" He asked hopefully. "Uhhmmm I need to ask my mom first" I said. "Okay text me the answer. I have to go do a meet and greet" he said giving me his number.

I thanked him and dialed my moms number. On the third ring she answered. "Hey baby girl how's it going?" she asked. "It's great. You know my favorite band Of Mice & Men? Well, I met them, and they invited me to a bonfire tonight. Can I please please please gooo?" I begged. "Well" she sighed. "I guess" "YAY THANK YOU THANK YOU THA- "HANNAH!" She yelled over me. "sorry mom" I replied. "as I was saying" she cut me off. "I want you to text me every hour or two. If it gets late stay at a hotel or something. I don't want you girls diving. And make sure you and Shelby stay with each other at all times." She said. "Thank you so much mom" I said giddy with excitement. "Your welcome baby I love you be safe." With that we hung up.

Shelby was with me the whole time listening to the conversation. This would be a great night. I texted Austin and he said he would be back at the bus by 5 and said we were welcome to eat anything and make ourselves at home. Around 5 the guys came in.

"Hey beautiful" Austin said to me. "Hey Austin" I replied. "Bonfires at 8 so were just gonna chill till then" he said. Shelby walked out with Tino and said she would meet us at the bonfire. I may have been disobeying my mothers orders on staying together, but we both had people with us. As for Alan, Phil, and Aaron, they decided to go looking around and meet fans. It was just Austin and I.

He grabbed my hand and looked me in the eye. "Hannah, can I have that kiss now?" he asked. "Yes" I said shakily. I had never kissed anyone. I was so nervous. Suddenly his lips crashed on mine, making everything around us disappear. I wanted to stay like this forever. After what seemed like a long time, we pulled apart. He grinned toothily at me. I blushed an looked away. Holding hands, he asked me if I wanted to watch starwars with him. Of course I said yes.

About an hour later everyone was back on the bus except Shelby and Tino. We got ready for the bonfire, and headed out. Walking over to All Time Low's bus, hand in hand with Austin. This night was perfect.

As soon as we got there, Jack and Alex came out with a huge cooler full of alcohol. "LETS GET SHIT FACCCEED!!" Alex yelled. They got a response from Pierce the Veil, Motionless in White, Asking Alexandria, and a few more yelling "SHIT FACEDDD" Austin on the other hand, politely passed knowing I was under age. As the night went on, Austin and I laughed and joked about Kellin Quinn grinding on Vic Fuentes while Jaime ran over and started smacking Kellin telling him to get off Vic. "FUENCIADOOO!" Jaime yelled. I rolled my eyes at them. Holy cow. Shelby was dancing with Tino completely oblivious to her surroundings. I was staring in space while Austin talked to Oli Sykes from Bring Me The Horizon.

Soon I was pulled out of my daze by Austin's arm around my waist. I blushed furiously and rested my head on his shoulder, barely reaching. He's so tall. It was around midnight and I was tired.

"Lets get you back to the bus sleepyhead" Austin cooed in my ear. He picked me up effortlessly and took me to the bus. He laid me in his bunk and I was out like a light.

I woke up in a place I didn't recognize. A long tattooed arm was wrapped tightly around my waist as I remembered what happened last night. I felt Austin stirring beside me. "Good morning beautiful" he said groggily. "Good morning handsome"

He leaned in and kissed me. The butterflies in my stomach were going crazy. "Hannah, will you be my girfriend?" "A-Austin... Well you're on tour... I'm only 18..." I said "Please Hannah, I love you" he said. "You love me?" I asked completely and utterly shocked. "Yes I do" he said. "I will be your girlfriend Austin. And I truly love you. Not the fangirl side of me or anything. I have real feelings for you" I said. "Thank you. I love you so much. Oh and.... You can stay on tour with me. It's okay I promise. I already checked with the guys. I love you" he said kissing me. I kissed backed and smiled as we pulled apart. "Ever since I saw you, I thought you were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I love you so much Hannah. More than you know".
