Meet My Dedication

After the show the guys went around the back to go take pictures and sign autographs for everyone, leaving me to clean up by myself. I packed up everything into their appropriate boxes, with the help of Marshall. He was talking about all the fun things he and the band did together, I asked him how he got to be Set It Off's merch guy.
"I was in another band a few years ago. Danny, the guitarist, and I were really close, we've been friends for as long as I've known your sister. She actually introduced us. He offered for me to go work with them. Eventually my band broke up and I took him up on his offer. I've been with them ever since."
It seems like my sister has had some adventures of her own.
"What about you? How'd you get to become apart of the Of Mice & Men team?" He looked over at me, continuing to fold clothes.
"Oh, I'm uh... actually dating Austin, so that's how," I smiled, nervously. I hadn't told anyone I was seeing him, not even Milly. I was pretty sure she already knew, I just never said we were official.
"No way, you're Austin's girlfriend?" His smile was as big as the Atlantic Ocean, and I was just as shocked as he was by the statement.
"Yeah," we finished packing everything up and got it on the carts to bring it around to the buses. "It was nice to finally meet you, Marshall." I waved and got everything loaded up and then went inside, to finally relax. I had sold probably over 200 items, altogether, which was pretty good. I got plenty of tips to last me a while, too. I could honestly make this a living, but I had bigger plans for myself.
I looked at the clock on the microwave, it was only eleven. I sighed and went into Austin's designated bunk, and waited for everyone to get back, slowly drifting off to sleep...

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"... Died upon impact. I am so sorry, for your loss."
... Police sirens drowning out the world...

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Please, Geremy..... Please wake up..."
The endless beeping screamed into my ears....

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Mikey.... Mikey! Mikey wake up..."

"Mikey!" Austin was holding me close to his chest, "it's okay, it was just a dream," he soothed me, running his hand in my hair. I didn't even realize I was crying. "I'm right here, it's okay."
I couldn't stop crying, and talking would be useless.
Austin and I didn't move for a few minutes, until I was entirely calm and stable. I hated waking up like that, and I hated even more that Austin had to see me like that.
"I came inside and I heard you screaming and crying. You were thrashing around, I had to wake you up." His face looked pained, and there was concern in his voice. I didn't say anything, I couldn't. "You were dreaming about your friends, weren't you?"
I nodded, my memories flooding back into my brain. "I hadn't had that dream since... after Warped Tour." I had it a few times after Austin had left, before he rescued me from my dad. I never told him, though.
"I'm so sorry," he kissed my forehead. I sat up and laid my head on his shoulder, taking him in, he smelled like sweat and monster,
"I know," I wrinkled my nose. "You stink, sweetheart."
He couldn't help but laugh, then pinned me down, I yelled.
"I'm gonna wait until we get back to the hotel to shower, so deal with it, princess!" He laid right on top of me, crushing me.
"I... hate...you" I muffled, his shirt was drenched and in my face.
"No you don't, you love me! Remember? You're stuck with me now." He rolled over and made it so I was on top of him.
"You know... I'm slowly starting to regret that...." I winked at him, he had a mock shocked look.
We laughed the whole way back, taking my mind off of my nightmare. Austin always knew how to make me feel better.

I was laying on my bed, reading one of the books I had brought with me. I was half way done with Fallout by Ellen Hopkins with Austin came out of the bathroom. I didn't notice him until he jumped on the bed and started kissing up my arm. I looked over at him, and he looked up. His smile said innocence, but his eyes said a completely different story.
I put my book down on the nightstand, then turned to face him.
I giggled and kissed him, "it's late."
"Says who?" he just smiled.
"Says the rest of the world," I poked his nose and he wrinkled his face.
"Well, I say no sleep!" He jumped up, and I just realized he was in nothing but his boxers. He ran over to my side and picked me up bridal style. "I say that a certain merch girl gets some love from a certain rock star."
I held onto him and giggled, "and how is said rock star going to do that?"
He set me down and started kissing on my neck, "like this." He went to unbutton my pants and slide them down, kissing my legs and rubbing the inside of my thighs. I let a low moan escape me as I stepped out of my jeans.
I took off my tank top and started unhooking my bra when Austin pushed me onto the bed. He took off my bra and stared at me.
"You're beautiful, Mikey." He traced his hands around the memorial birds I had on both of my hips; a pink sparrow for Issy, and a blue one for Geremy. Each bird had a ribbon, spelling their names, birthdays and death dates. I had scars around both of my sides from cutting, and all up and down my arms, even some on my thighs. He took notice and kissed every single one of them. "I want to make sure this never happens again. I don't want you hurting anymore," he kissed up and down till he made his way back to my neck.
I hands explored his chest, going over all of his tattoos, there were so many. My favorite was his ocean theme on his arm. "You're beautiful too, you know. A canvas covered with beautiful art." I kissed one of his hands, and he took it over my breast, playing with it, as his response. His other hand was in my underwear, feeling my wetness and warmth.
"Austin," I moaned as he pulled down my underwear and took them off, taking his off as well. He climbed on top of me.
He kissed my lips, biting my lower and left a trail of kisses down my body until reaching my lower region. His lips were doing a number on me and I was almost to my breaking point, "you're such a tease," I giggled.
"Only for you." He smiled, coming back up to my face. I bit his bottom lip, making his eyes roll to the back of his head, my hand on his member stroking it, my other hand digging into his back.
"Now who's the tease?" I winked and pushed him over so that I could be on top. I bit at his neck, then slowly moved down, my lips reaching their target. I had never been this adventurous towards sex, but something about Austin made me want to try everything. I wrapped my lips around him, making him gasp, and slowly moved up and down on him.
"Oh God, Mikey..." I looked right up at him, and he looked right at me. His hand moved to the top of my head, stroking my hair, as I kept sucking him off. I released him and got on top of him again, grinding myself against him. "You win! You win, I surrender. Please, take me prisoner." The desperation in his voice just turned me on even more, I moved up and he slid into me, making us both moan in unison.
I moved up and down, slowly at first, until he gripped my hips and moved me the way he wanted. He flipped me over and thrusted in and out, harder each time, "you're so tight, Mikey... it's amazing." He wrapped me up in his arms, going deeper, making me moan in his ear.
I screamed his name over and over reaching my climax, with him reaching his own as we came together. He fell to the side of me, but continued to hold me, and kissing any skin he could get a hold of.
"I love you," I whispered as I snuggled closer into him. I didn't know, or care, what time it was, but all I knew was that I never wanted to leave this moment of pure bliss.
"I love you too, more than you know," he held me close to him as I started to drift into probably the best sleep of my entire life.
