Save Me

"But Austin. What if I don't want to look girly? I'm just hanging with Tony for the day." I complained as Austin pulled out a dress that he wanted me to wear. "Because baby, you look so gorgeous in this dress." he argued. "Fine." I said, giving in and grabbing the dress. "I'm going to go get in the shower." I let the warm water run over my body as I thought. How did I end up with such a great boyfriend and amazing friends?? I had no clue... but I did know one thing.. I hadn't talked to Kellin in weeks. I needed to repair our relationship.. into a friendship that is. I couldn't just leave us in a humongous argument when him and Austin were such good friends. I knew I'd have to face him sooner or later and-. "Jezabelle!! God, you take forever! Get out! I gotta pee!!!" Aaron whined, banging on the bathroom door. "Chill, bro!! I'm getting out!" I yelled back at him. Yeesh. It was hard sharing one bathroom with five guys. I quickly got out of the shower, put my bright blue hair up in a towel and got dressed. "Finally." Aaron said, squeezing past me and shutting the door quickly. I laughed. "Don't fall in the toilet, Aaron." He didn't answer me. I walked back to the bunks to get my makeup and straightener. "Well hello, my gorgeous love." Austin said when I walked back to the living room area. "Hey, baby." I smiled at him and sat down, starting on my makeup. "Hey, hey, hey!! There's my favorite sister!!!" Tony said excitedly, sitting on the couch next to me and hugging me tightly. "Hey, Tone." I said, hugging him back. "Where do you wanna go???" he asked. "Doesn't matter to me." I said. "Let's go to lunch." Tony said. "Okay, sounds great." "Hey, hun. We're about to leave for the signings." Austin said, grabbing my hands and helping me up, then pulling me into his arms. "Okay, baby. I love you." I said, giving him a kiss. "I love you too, sweetheart." he said and then him and the rest of the band left, leaving only me and Tony. "Alright. Let's go. You're driving, though." Tony said, dragging me out the door. "I'll have a salad, please." I said to the tall blonde waitress who was eyeing Tony. Definitely checking him out. "And for the boyfriend?" the woman asked Tony. "Oh no. The brother." Tony laughed. The waitresses eyes widen but she quickly recovered her cool. "For the brother?" she asked. "I'll have a double cheeseburger with a side of fries." "God, turtle you eat like you've never had food before." I commented and the waitress laughed, walking off with our orders. "She thought I was your boyfriend. Little does she know that Austin Carlile, lead singer of the band Of Mice & Men is." Tony laughed. "She was totally checking you out, Tone." I said. "She was hot." Tony blurted and then covered his mouth. "Tony, you're so blunt." I laughed at his reaction to his own words. "I don't mean to be." Tony pouted as the waitress came back with our food. "That was nice, Tony. Thanks." I said as we got back into my car and headed back to the bus. "Thanks for coming with me." Tony said. It was silent for a few minutes. "Jezzy.. can you pull over? I need to talk to you without you being distracted." Tony said. I pulled into a gas station. "Yeah, turtle?" I asked. "You know Vic really really likes you right?" he asked. "Well.. yeah." "It's killing him to see you with every other guy but him." "Tony. If you seriously just made me pull over so that you could try and convince me to leave Aus for Vic, then you can go ahead and get your butt out of my car an walk home. It's not happening." I said. "No, no. That's not at all what I'm trying to do. No. What I mean is that I can tell you and Austin are in love. You can see it in the way you look at each other. I mean that maybe there is some way you can let Vic down easy? Without shattering him?" Tony said. Now it made sense. "Of course." I said. "Oh.. and I think you need to talk to Kellin.. and work things out. Become friends again." Tony said. "Yes. I do. Thank you, Tony for opening my eyes to see the things that have to be done in order for me to move on in my life and relationships." I said, leaning over to hug him. "I'm always here for you, Jezzy." he said. "Same to you." I said, cranking the car back up and heading back to the busses once again. "Kellin.. we need to talk." I said as I was standing in the middle of the living room area of the Sleeping With Sirens bus. All the other guys were gone. It was just me and Kellin. "We do." he agreed. "Look.." I said. "No. I'm gonna go first." he said. "I'm sorry. So, so, so sorry Jez. Please forgive me. Give me another chance, Jezzy. I shouldn't have done that to you." he pleaded with me. "No, Kellin.. me and Austin are dating.. but I do want to be friends." Kellin sighed. He seemed to be thinking about this news for a few minutes. "Friends. I like the idea." Kellin smiled at me and pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back. "Trying to steal my girl back?" I heard Austin's voice say from the doorway. I laughed and let go of Kellin. "Nah, man. I tried, but she refused." Kellin said. "Hey, baby." I said, running up to Austin hugging him tightly as he picked me up and spun me around. "Hello, love." he said, kissing me gently and putting me back down on the ground. "We were just repairing a friendship." I said, smiling up at him. "Good. Cause I want him to come with us, Pierce The Veil and Oli to dinner tonight." Austin said. "Of course, dude." Kell said. "This dress. It's perfect." Austin said, grabbing yet another dress out of my closet so I could wear it to dinner. Instead of arguing or fussing, I grabbed it from him, loving the way his eyes lit up and he smiled at me, realizing I was actually going to wear it. --Austin's POV-- "This dress. It's perfect." I said, handing her a dress I had chosen out of her closet. She didn't say anything, but took the dress and left to go get ready for dinner. I smiled. She was wonderful. My world. "Aus.. what the heck are you smiling at mate?" Oli said, walking into the bunk room. "My wonderful girlfriend." I replied instantly. "You really do love her don't you?" "With all my soul." "Hey, mate. Uh.. when are you going to tell the public about you two?" Oli asked. "That's why I've invited y'all to dinner.." I said. "Oh. Okay. Good." "She looks so gorgeous in that dress, Oli." I said., thinking about the way she smiled when I said even the tiniest compliment. "I bet." Oli let me think for a little while before interrupting my thoughts. "So, how long do you think you guys will last?" he asked me. I looked at him. "I don't know, man. I don't want to put a time limit. I just want to let things happen, you know? But I hope for a very long time." I replied. --Jezabelle's POV-- My thoughts ran through my head repeatedly. I was terrified. Of losing everything. Darn. I forgot to take my meds. I quickly finished getting ready and took them. Soon. Soon, my thoughts and depression wouldn't immobilize me. As soon as the medicine kicked in. I sighed to myself. It was sad that I had to take medicine to escape my own thoughts. My own mind. "What do you want?" Austin asked me. "Uhh.. salad please." I said, not really hungry. "You had that for lunch." Tony said. "And?" I snapped back. Tony raised his hands in mock surrender. After we had all finished eating, Austin spoke up. "So. I invited all of you to dinner for a little help.. I need to know just about when we should tell the public about Jezzy and I." Austin said, looking at each one of the men at the table. "In a month." Oli said. "Tomorrow." Mike said. "How about you're too late?" the waitress slapped a newspaper down on the table. It had a picture of me and Austin holding hands on it. The headline said: "Austin Carlile has some new arm candy.. and it looks like ex girlfriend of lead singer of Sleeping With Sirens, Kellin Quinn, Jezabelle Andrews, does too." I sighed. "Looks like everyone already knows." I said, getting up and going to the bathroom. "I'll never hear the end of this." I thought to myself. They'd all hate me.
