Let Live (An Austin Carlile Love Story)

Something to Believe In

Hey everyone! I've been updating this story a lot lately because I just have so many ideas! I hope you are all liking it so far!

The song that "Tyler" sings is over in the sidebar. Song belongs to Automatic Loveletter......just using it as Tyler's for fictional purposes!

Enjoy :)

Tyler's P.O.V:

"Okay, what about.....this," my co-worker Ryan asked as he strummed a few notes on his guitar. We were on our break in the back room jamming together, writing a song; this was something we did together often. Usually he didn't bring his guitar to work, and I'm honestly not sure why he did, but whatever. I shook my head and smiled.

"Yeah! Yeah, I like that a lot!" I responded after he quit playing. I looked down and quickly jotted a few lyrics in my notebook.

"I'm glad you're back to feeling better, Ty. I missed us playing and writing together!" He said happily as he reached for the water bottle that was on the floor next to his feet. "The rest of the guys miss you too. They keep bugging me about when you're gonna come play with us again." He smiled and I did too.

"Awww how sweet! Hopefully soon. I loved playing with you guys." Ryan was in a band with his 2 older brothers and his best friend Luke, who was another one of our co-workers as well. A few months ago Ryan and I wrote this song together; I was in charge of the lyrics and rhythm guitar part and he took over lead guitar. He ended up getting his brothers and Luke in on it and we all got together at Ryan's house and busted out an entire song written in just a few hours. We spent the rest of that weekend hanging out and playing together; they even let me sing our song during their practice, and it was one of the best experiences of my life; I absolutely loved the adrenaline rush of performing, even if it was just in Ryan's garage. With everything that was going on lately I hadn't managed to make it over to jam with them again.

"Speaking of the guys....any chance you're free tonight?" He asked slyly.

"Well, I'm a very busy woman I'll have to check my schedule and get back with you," I said as I rolled my eyes and flipped my hair dramatically. He laughed at me and kicked my chair with his foot sending the rolling chair back a few feet. I laughed along with him.

"We have a gig tonight at Lucky Strike, that bar downtown, and I was gonna see if you wanted to come hang for a while." He smiled at me as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Of course! I would love to come see you guys!" I paused as I got an idea. "Mind if I bring someone with?" I questioned, thinking about Austin.

"Oooo who is this mystery person you're going to bring? New man candy, perhaps?" He smirked at me and I tried to hide the big smile that was threatening to spread across my face; Ryan and I were really good friends, and I hold told him that Kody and I were dunzo......leaving out the major details of course.

"Okay, first of all never say "man candy" ever again!" He rolled his eyes at me. "Andddd.....something like that, I guess," I responded referring to his comment. "But, you have to promise not to act weird. I'm serious!"

"When do I ever act weird?" he raised his voice in defense and I just arched an eyebrow at him. "Okay, fair enough. Why? Who is this man?"

"Oh, you'll see," I dragged the words out dramatically as I spun in my chair. He stopped it with his foot.

"Wait. It's not Ashby is it?" I laughed thinking back to the time he practically fangirled when he met Alan.

"No! I'm not seeing Alan! But remember how you acted around him? Yeah.....please don't do that, okay?" I scolded him and he pouted his lip out and nodded.
