My Cinderella.
Knight In Shining Armor
Austin led me to the stage, kissing me the whole way there. "Austin, did you not get enough of this earlier?" I said laughing "No way! I could never get enough of you, you're absolutely perfect!" He took my hand in his and we walked in the back of the venue. "Where the hell have you two been?" Alan asked us as soon as we got back.
"None of your damn business." Austin smiled at him and dragged me past him. I waved as we went by and Alan winked. I rolled my eyes and turned around to see where he was taking me. He stopped as soon as we reached the side stage. Memphis was finishing up their set, so we waiting for them to go offstage. The venue cleared out and the place felt so huge.
Out of the back all the bands came running. Someone hit the music, just a little Attila playing in the background. We all jammed out to the music ,recklessly dancing on stage, bands and band whores of course. Austin was spinning me in the middle of the room, not exactly a magical, fairytale ball, but it was definitely up to my standards. "Could I please have this dance Cinderella?" Alan gestured towards my hand, acting like an idiot. "No way in hell dude!" Austin grabbed both my hands and threw me over his shoulder, let's just say I'm not a fan of heights and this was so much far from the ground than I was when standing. "AUSTIN! This is not okay!" I yelled in nervous laughter.
He sat on the edge of the stage and then gently made his way to the ground below, still carrying me. The rest of the guys followed, leaving the venue to party at the buses He finally put me down after the hundredth time of me punching him in the back. "What the hell was that for?" I yelled trying to catch my breath. "So the evil little idiot Alan couldn't take away my princess." He smiled at me, placing a peck on my lips before both of us entered Asking Alexandria's bus.
The thick smell of alcohol and smoke made me cough when I walked through the door. I could also smell a small hint of marijuana coming from the back of the bus. I looked around and all the bands had continued their party on the stage to here. "It's kind of a tradition, that we party on stage and then carry it over to one of the buses." Austin yelled slightly in my ear. He had his large hands on my hips guiding me through the bus to the back room. "Ever done weed before?" he asked me. "Austin... let's just say the only trouble I've ever been in, was when I was late for class... I'm a fucking goodie-two-shoes... But I'm willing to try anything." I said letting a smirk cross my face. He did the same and sat me in the back next to Phil, in his hand was a bong. I'd recognized it, only because I was the one who stayed sober at parties, to drive my friends home.
Austin leaned down towards Alan and whispered something in his ear. "Never. Not even once?" Alan asked Austin who nodded. "What else have you never done? Have you ever had a sip of alcohol?" He asked me with a stupid face. "Oh trust me, I've had plenty of alcohol..." I said thinking about my past, how I tried to forget it all. "Look, I don't wanna talk about that, I came here to have fun so can I please enjoy myself?" I said to him, and he only nodded handing me the bong. He showed me what to do and I caught on pretty quick, I almost lost a lung but ya know, whatever I've got another one.After what felt like an hour, but was only about 15 minutes I was completely in another world. I'd heard weed can affect a person in different ways, obviously, cause everyone was laughing at me.
"Shut up you fucktards! Screw you!" I yelled at them, When I was the sober one, I'd always have to make taco bell runs at 1 am to grab a few tacos for my friends with the munchies. I was now a friend with the munchies and I was craving a taco at the moment. I stumbled my way through the party, getting shoved every now and then. I pulled open a cabinet to find whatever chips were hiding from me. I was pulled out of my thoughts by a hand on my ass and that was not happening. "I'm not that high!" I slapped the hand away and looked up to find Alan in my face. "Oh shit! I had no idea, Pres sorry! I seriously didn't know that was you! Fuck is Austin around?" He looked frantically left and right, no one was in their right minds at the moment so I brushed it off.
"There you guys are!" Austin came from around the crowd of people. "Tino's doing weird shit now, so we're heading back to the bus." Alan nodded and went to go help Phil carry Tino out. "You okay Pres?" He muttered in my direction. "Huh? Yep I'm good."
"Weed really fucks you up... Just another thing you'll have to get used to." He smiled and kissed my lips making my heart race. Yea it really fucks people up... "Alright let's head out Austin!" Phil called snapping me back to reality. "Okie Dokie!" He grabbed my hip and led me back through the crowd, the strong smell of liquor on his breath, the memories shot back.
"You'll never be good enough! Just give up on that dream, you're worthless. You'll be the disgrace of this family! Fuck you! Ya little bitch!" I scrunched up my nose and covered my ear, I stopped in my tracks and Austin stopped right behind me. "Pres, you okay?" The other guys turned around to face me. I let the words leave my brain before returning to the real world. "Yea I'm fine..." I breathed a sigh of relief and Austin motioned for the guys to walk on ahead. They left us standing in the middle of the field.
"Is there something I should know?" I let a tear fall down my face. "Austin I- I don't exactly have a perky past, but who does anymore... My dad... he... I don't wanna talk about it." I dropped to my knees. He kneeled down next to me. "Pres you don't have to tell me, I'm fine not knowing. Obviously it hurts to talk about, so I'll just let you tell me in time... if you even tell me at all... Come on let's go get some sleep." I nodded, and he picked my head up. He looked me in the eyes and smiled, making my heart melt. He pulled me into a hug and I lost it. "Austin, I'm not that good of a kid... I'm a horrible person... I fuck things up all the time, I- fail at living, I fail at dying, how does somebody live with that?!?" I yelled into his chest.
"What do you mean you fail at dying?" He pulled me away from his chest so he could look me in the eyes. They were blurred and my nose was running, but I could feel his gaze warming my insides, making me wanna spill everything. He made me want to spill everything, but I'll tell him piece by piece. "I got drunk, and I tried to make myself forget it all, and then I decided I'd leave it all... behind. I pulled a gun from my father's desk, a pistol that was loaded with one bullet." I felt the words run out of my head like a stream flowing downhill. "I played Russian roulette with myself, if I died in the next three clicks it was over. But if I didn't I would have to live the rest of my life as a failure, like he always said I was..." I sat there, still crying, trying to breathe, but I was hyperventilating.
He didn't say a word, he just kneeled staring at me. He fell backwards and landed on his hands. I looked at the ground, "See! I am a failure! I can't even get a relationship right! I fucking suck!" I cried into my hands letting go of everything. Useless. Worthless. Unworthy. Helpless. Stupid. The words so often used by my father, ran through my head, came out through my tears. "Preslie. You're beautiful, why would you wanna get rid of a precious life like yours?" Austin held me in his arms. I could feel him fighting for me. He was my knight in shining armor, he battled the words in my head. "You're an amazing girl, this world would never be the same without you! Don't ever do that again! People are fucking assholes! Trust me, I know how hard it is to go on, but giving up is never the right option." He pulled me into his arms in the middle of the field, and picked me up. Somewhere from that point to the bus I fell asleep. I dreamed for the first time in years. It was about Austin and my dad, they shook hands, and my dad had a smile on... he waved to Austin and walked away.
I hadn't seen my father's face happy, ever, but just then, it was perfect. Thank you Austin. One day I'll tell you everything.
I woke up the next morning to the sound of the bus moving. I jumped up but hit my head on the ceiling, well the bottom of another bunk. I was scared but then I remembered I was with Austin. "Morning Cinderella." He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and leaned on his arm to face me. I was closest to the wall so I looked out the window. We were moving and I realized, MY CAR! "Austin my car!" Calm down! It's hitched to the back of the bus, we just wanted to go grab some food before we hit the road." I sighed in relief but then tensed up again. "You're gonna leave me?" I let my eyes well up and my heart sunk deep in my chest.
"Only for a little! It'll be for two more weeks, finishing up the tour, and then I'll come right back here! Don't worry Preslie I'm not that kind of guy." he pulled me over to his side again and made sure his arms were wrapped tightly around me. He kissed the top of my head and I drifted back to sleep, only to be woken up 10 minutes later by Alan screaming wake-up call. I wonder if Alan remembers the other night. I won't say anything unless he brings it up...
"Morning Pres!" Tino said.
"Morning guys, I'm kinda sad I'm not gonna see any of you for the next two weeks." I pouted a little and sat down on their couch next to Phil. "How about a picture?" Alan suggested. "Yea! Then I can even prove to Aaliyah I was on your bus!" I yelled out, only Austin knew who Leah was. "Who?"
"Leah! She's my friend, I would have told her to come party with us but she's in Jersey for the rest of the week." I giggled a little remembering the last time I talked to her, and how Austin even took my phone, and she STILL didn't believe me. "Austin come in here!" He came around the corner shirtless, his tattoos showing, and the scar right down the center of his chest. He leaned over and kissed my cheek and the others posed in the background. I smiled and took the shot. "Thanks guys, I can't wait till I see you again!" The bus driver parked the bus and we all climbed out for breakfast. We were getting weird looks from the locals, one girl walking in with four tattooed men, followed by the rest of their crew.
"Anything I can get for y'all to drink to- PRESLIE!" The waitress lady screamed and flung her arms around my shoulders. "You know her?" Austin Mouthed at me. I pushed her shoulders back and my eyes got huge. "Haley! Holy shi- I mean Hey!" Her mouth dropped open, "Did you almost say a profanity! Your father would have slapped you silly! It was tragic what happened to him... I was so sorry to hear, I thought you'd moved on..." She leaned in to my ear and whispered. "Not turned into one of those jezebels that follow bands around..." She pulled away and looked me in the eye. "Can we stop talking about this Haley? I don't feel comfortable talking about him..."
"You know as well as I do he would be ashamed of this..." She talked to me like she knew him. "Haley I don't really think it's your place to tell her what's right or wrong." Austin said and grabbed my hand under the table. "And how long have you known her? For like two days? Where is it your place to tell me not to say what she needs to hear?!? Hmm? Go ahead hun."
He stood up. "Because I'm her boyfriend and you're a bitch." He said instantly covering his mouth. My mouth dropped, I swear in hit the floor, as well as everyone else's in the room. "OUT! get out of this restaurant! We do not welcome rift-raft like you all here! Preslie you have been guided by the devil!" She screamed shooing us through the door. "SAYS THE ONE WHO GOT AN ABORTION AND DIDN'T TELL ANYBODY ABOUT IT!" I screamed back at her through the door. I saw people drop food and faces shocked. The doors closed and I saw her fall to her knees. Fuck I didn't mean to say that...
I tried to walk back through the door, but Austin took my arm. "I don't think she wants to see you right now..." I nodded and followed him back to the bus. "How do you know her?" He whispered in my ear. "She used to be my best friend... like I said... used to. We did everything together, until she turned into a Jesus freak... which I'm okay with her religion, but... she wouldn't even talk to me after she found out I listen to punk music... She called me a devil worshiper and told my dad... He told everyone the problem was taken care of and I guess that's why she was talking to me..."
"Well it looks like McDonalds!" The rest of the guys laughed. "Nah I'll call my mom... and tell her where I've actually been for the past few days... I'm sure she'll feed you for helping me out the other day." They looked at each other and they were debating whether or not they wanted to intrude. "Trust me... She loves to cook."
"But from what that chick just said your dad..." Alan started to talk. "You guys don't have to worry about him... He won't be around." I turned back, and walked to my car. "It's either Mickey D's or a nice home cooked southern breakfast, take your pick!" I grabbed my car keys out of my pocket and unlocked my car. Inside my phone was on the charger, I had 15 missed calls, one from my mother, and 14 from Leah. I decided to call mom first.
"Hey mom..."
"You know... Leah called looking for you... she said you weren't at Katy's... but with a guy named... Austin."
Oh shit... "Let me explain." I went along and told her my events, the guys who attacked me, how OM&M stood up for me, how Austin and I are together (Leaving out the Virginity part). "Yea and now we're hungry..." I said trying to break the silence that she had held for a good minute now. "Well I suppose I owe them for taking care of you, not to mention, YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND!" She screamed through the phone loud enough for the guys to hear. My mother could even embarrass me through a phone. "Let me talk to him! Right now!"
"Hell no mama, you'll see him in like ten minutes!" Before I could protest any further Austin took the phone out of my hand. "Hey not again! Asshole!" I whisper yelled at him. "Hey there I'm Austin. Yep I'm the boyfriend. No ma'am I haven't..." He started looking uncomfortable. He laughed a little. "Yes ma'am I did." He looked at me "Told ya you shouldn't have talked to her." I mouthed at him. "Haha, can't wait to meet you either. Yep here she is..." He handed me the phone."Yes mother?" I asked her.
"He sounds like a nice guy... can't wait to meet, him and he seems to be taking ... proper care of you... Did he use protection?"
"MOM! IS THAT WHAT YOU ASKED HIM? I cannot believe you!"
"I just don't want a grandchild yet!" She said innocently through the phone. I sighed. "Oh God mom... Anyway I'll see you in a few goodbye." I hung up our call and looked back at the 14 missed calls from Leah. "Here you wanna call her back?" I asked Austin who took my phone. "Hey guys come over here." Tino, Phil, and Alan made their way next to Austin. He rang her number and waited for her to pick-up, putting the phone on speaker. "PRESLIE YOU LITTLE BITCH WHY HAVEN'T YOU ANSWERED MY PHONE CALLS I MISS YOU AND I'M FUCKING STUCK WITH MY PARENTS ON VACATION FOR THE NEXT WEEK! HOW DID YOU EXPECT ME TO SURVIVE WITHOUT COMPLAINING TO YOU!?!" They all stood there without saying anything. Austin piped up first, "Well hello to you too Leah..."
"Holy Fuck! Austin Carlile... or so she says..."
"Hey there Leah... I just wanted to prove to you it was us." He turned on face time and waited for her to pick up. "Hey!" he waved at the camera. She sat on the other side speechless. "Over there's Tino, Phil, and Alan. Oh and Preslie!" I waved to my friend, whose eyes got huge. "Oh and by the way I'm dating her now." He smiled and handed me the phone. "Hey." I weakly smiled at her cause I knew she was about to fangirl her ass off. "Preslie Prudance Harper! How the HELL DID YOU SCORE AUSTIN CARLILE?"
"Long story but I'll tell you on our way to my house." I handed Austin the keys to my car and I sat in the passenger's seat, telling every detail to Leah. She's the only one who knew everything about my past, the only one I trusted at the moment. But I wanted Austin to be that way too, I just needed some time. "GAAAHHHH I'm so happy for you! You haven't had a boyfriend since- well you know..."
I nodded and grinned towards Austin, "Yea he's a keeper." She said and I rolled my eyes at her. "Whatever..."
"None of your damn business." Austin smiled at him and dragged me past him. I waved as we went by and Alan winked. I rolled my eyes and turned around to see where he was taking me. He stopped as soon as we reached the side stage. Memphis was finishing up their set, so we waiting for them to go offstage. The venue cleared out and the place felt so huge.

Tino, Phil, and Alan made their way next to Austin. He rang her number and waited for her to pick-up, putting the phone on speaker. "PRESLIE YOU LITTLE BITCH WHY HAVEN'T YOU ANSWERED MY PHONE CALLS I MISS YOU AND I'M FUCKING STUCK WITH MY PARENTS ON VACATION FOR THE NEXT WEEK! HOW DID YOU EXPECT ME TO SURVIVE WITHOUT COMPLAINING TO YOU!?!" They all stood there without saying anything. Austin piped up first, "Well hello to you too Leah..."
"Holy Fuck! Austin Carlile... or so she says..."
"Hey there Leah... I just wanted to prove to you it was us." He turned on face time and waited for her to pick up. "Hey!" he waved at the camera. She sat on the other side speechless. "Over there's Tino, Phil, and Alan. Oh and Preslie!" I waved to my friend, whose eyes got huge. "Oh and by the way I'm dating her now." He smiled and handed me the phone. "Hey." I weakly smiled at her cause I knew she was about to fangirl her ass off. "Preslie Prudance Harper! How the HELL DID YOU SCORE AUSTIN CARLILE?"
"Long story but I'll tell you on our way to my house." I handed Austin the keys to my car and I sat in the passenger's seat, telling every detail to Leah. She's the only one who knew everything about my past, the only one I trusted at the moment. But I wanted Austin to be that way too, I just needed some time. "GAAAHHHH I'm so happy for you! You haven't had a boyfriend since- well you know..."
I nodded and grinned towards Austin, "Yea he's a keeper." She said and I rolled my eyes at her. "Whatever..."
