You'll Play The Romeo, Ill Play The Juilet. (Of Mice & Men)

I'll Be The Light

I wake up, gasping, and screaming. I roll off my mattress, and onto the foor. I lie there for just a few moments trying to catch my breath, looking aimlessly at the ceiling. 

'It was just a nightmare," I reassure myself, lifting myself off the floor to venture off to see what time it is.

I look at the cock to only see it was 4;30, which woud give me an extra half hour at the shop. I get myself dressed, not bothering to put on any makeup. I brush my hair, and my teeth, and grab my phone, and walk out of the door. 

I walk to the shop, open up, and begin my daily set up whe a couple of my co workers pitch in two hours after i finshed getting everything set up. I was going to leave around 3:30n to make sure I a home in just the right amount time to get out to hang out with Austin.

Before I knew it it was 3:30, and I was heading home. I was actually nervous, but I mean who wouldn't be when they are about to actually hang out with their idol. It almost doesn't seem real to me, but I know it is. 

When I finally reach my apartment, I rush to get into the shower. After I took my shower I whiped my hair around until it was dry enough to straighten it. I straightened it until it was absoluty perfectly straight, and then I slightly teased it so it gave it a cute amount of volume.

Then I moved onto doing my makeup. Al I did was put on eyeiner, and mascarra. Then I headed into my room, and got out a pair of shorts, and a hoodie. I seriously do not have any cute clothing due to the fact that money has been so tight for me lately. 

I head out into my small kitchen to check the time on my iPod to notice that its 5:55. I head into the bathroom, and brush my teeth and do some minor touch ups to my hair, Before I know It I hear a knock at the door. I rush over to the door, and open it to be greeted by the amazing, and handsome face of Austin Robert Carlile. 

He looks down at me, and smiles widely at me. 

"'Are you forgetting somethin?" He asks pointing to my feet.

"Oh yeah, oops" I say sightly embarassed, "You can come in if you want," I say hesitently, "I'm sorry for the lack of furniture.

"Its okay," 

I run into my room, and get my shoes out of my room, along with a pair of socks with Austin on my tail, I turn around to see a wo'rried looking Austin looking back at me. 

"Whats wrong?" I ask him.

"You live in such a shitty place," he says sadly, "I mean you have nothing in your living room if you can even cal it that, Your small kitchen, bathroom, and room. You dont even have an actual bed. How do you live like this?" He asks.

"Its the perks of woking at a  coffee shop for over twelve hours a day." 

HE gives me a sad smile and we begin to walk out of my apartment and then put of the building. We make our way into his car, After around maybe thirty minutes of non stop talking about how hard it is for me to just barely get by, I changed the subject from me to him. I asked him how his band, and his band members, Alan, Phil, and Tino were. HE told me that they were all doing good, and that they were getting ready for warped tour, and that they were going to start writing on tour, 

I told him that every single one of them saved my life, even Shayley even though Shayey was planning on quitting the band to deal with some of his personal problems. Austin had told me that it was perfectly okay with him because in all reality Shayley needed saving too. I felt so bad for Austin to know that one of his best friends was going through such a hard time that he couldn't even stay in the band. 

I could see the hurt in his eyes every time he talked about Shay. I knew he must have been a big impact on Austin because he was close to crying many of times. I felt so bad. I slided over in the seat so i could be closer to him and wrapped my arms around him to hug him. 

"Its going to be okay Austin, its best for Shayley to get his problems sorted out before he makes music, I'M sure you wont loose touch with him. I'm so sorry," I tell him

'Thank you," he says cheering up a little bit. 

We finally arrive at what ooks like the middle of nowhere, and he gets out of the car telling me to stay in the car and rushes to my door and opens it for me. I thank him and folow him to the back of the car, and he pulls out a basket and a blanket. Giving away the fact that we are going to have a picnic and watch the sun set. 

We begin waking for about maybe ten minutes. He tells me to cose my eyes and he guides me to where ever we are going. We walk anothe rmaybe five minutes and he finally tells me that I can open my eyes. 

I look out over the city, looking at all the beautiful buildings right before the sun begins to set. He spreads the blanket out, and pulls out some food. We eat in silence. After we finish eating he says something I never woud have thought anybody would ever say to me.

"You are tuly beautiful, and whatever you have gone through you shouldn;t have. you just didnt deserve it. i understand if you aren't ready to tell me considering this is only the third time w have ever really had  a sit down talk with each other." He tells me 

The words that had just come out of his mouth catches me off guard by a lot. I started crying. The tears just would not stop falling. They were full of hurt, anger, and happiness. 

"Lindsay, I will be here every moment that you want me to be. whatever you want me to be i'll be because there is just something so special, and so different with you that I can't just simply let the opportunity of being your friend slip away from me, or Phil, Alan, and Tino."I'll be the light to guide you through any of the darkness that may come apon you." He says grabbing my hands. 

"Thank you... so much," I tell him the tears rolling down my face. 

He pulls me onto his lap and let me cry into him until I can't cry anymore. He tells me everything is going to be aright and runs his fingers gently through my hair. He softly hums when she can't sleep at night to me, I slowly stop crying, and I look up at him with red eyes, and give him a weak smile.

"You feeling any better?" he asks me

i nod my head in return and lay my head back on his chest. 

"Austin, I don't want to go home," I tell him the tears threatening to spill again. 

"Do you want to go back to my place?" He asks me

I nod my head into his chest.

"Lets go," he says 

I get up out of his lap, and put everything into the basket as he fos up the blanket. We head to the back of the car and put the basket and the blanket in, and we hop in the front. on the way to his house I slowly drift into sleep.

Before I know It i am being carried into a house in the arms of Austin, and laied into a bed, just as Austin finsihes putting the blankets over me I manage to say, "Austin please don't leave." He gives me a tired smile, and takes off his jeans, and hops in the bed aying next to me, and wraps his arms around me, and I snuggle my head into his chest.
