-Austin’s POV-
There were two more days until this tour was over. Every part of me wanted to see her face in the crowd, but I knew that it wouldn’t happen.
I’m acting like a crazy person right now and I’m pretty sure my band mates are close to locking me away.
I just can’t get this girl out of my mind.
That show was in Seattle…I usually don’t know where I am half the time.
We are finishing our last two shows in California.
Then I’ll be off for a month.
I want to see that beautiful girl from Seattle again. I really hope that she was just there for work or something and actually lives like in California. See how crazy I am?
I’m constantly consumed in my thoughts, I shouldn’t feel like this but I do.
_________________________________________________________
I was getting ready for a party that Pierce the Veil was throwing. Well let’s see if I can meet someone else to take my mind of off Seattle girl. To my disappointment, she never became a face in the crowd.
Alan and I arrived to the party as it was in full insanity.
Those crazy ass Mexicans knew how to party.
"Shit man." Alan said.
"I know. See anyone we know?" I asked.
"HEYYY!" someone shouted at us, I turned to see Tony and Mike.
"Hey! This is crazy!" I said.
"Find yourself a girl and some alcohol!" Mike said.
Alan and I went and got alcohol first.
Then I saw her.
She was here.
She was sitting on the couch, drinking, and talking to Jess and Erin.
"Alan" I said.
"Hm?" he asked.
"That’s her. She’s here Alan!" I said trying not to sound desperate or creepy.
"The chick with brown hair and freckles?"
"Yes dipshit!"
"Damn. Wonder how she knows them." Alan said.
"Knows who?" Vic asked.
"The girl that’s talking to Jess and Erin, who is she?" I asked.
"Oh that’s Scar. She’s kind of a big deal." he said.
"What do you mean big deal?" I asked.
"She’s a fashion marketer. Especially with the celebrity stylist. She’s one of Erin’s best friends…she brought her here because her boyfriend was being an ass to her." Vic said.
My heart sunk when he said boyfriend. Vic must’ve seen that.
"Oh okay, what was her name again?" I asked.
"Scarlett Harris. Sorry that she’s taken man. You should be friends with her though…she’s really cool!" Vic said.
"Thanks man" I said.
"Come on…I’ll introduce you guys both to her." Vic said.
"Umm I’m fine where I am." I said.
"Austin Robert Carlile, quit being a pussy and let’s go!" Alan said.
Vic led us to the girls and I was trying to keep my cool.
"Ladies, I thought it would be nice if I introduce Scar to two of my wonderful friends." Vic said.
"Dear goodness…" Jess mumbled.
"Don’t you boys see we are having a serious chat?" Erin said.
"I’m being polite Erin!" Vic said.
"Fine continue" Erin said.
"Scar, this is Austin Carlile and Alan Ashby, of Mice and Men." Vic said.
She stood up and spoke.
"Nice to meet you both, I’m Scarlett. I’m a hugger." she said and laughed.
She gave Alan a hug first then myself.
Damn I wish she didn’t have a boyfriend.
"Okay boys now leave it’s back to girl business" Jess said.

Later that night I was out having a cigarette.
The front of PTV’s house was calm compared to the chaos that ensued inside.
I decided to sit off to the side of the porch.
For some reason I wasn’t into partying tonight.
"What don’t you understand! I can’t come back to you Parker!"
I heard someone yell that and I turned to see that it was Scarlett.
She must be on the phone with her asshole of a boyfriend.
"Is that a girl in the background? What the fuck! I can’t we are done!" she said and then noticed that I was there.
"Oh sorry, didn’t see you there" she said.
"You okay?" I asked,
"Not really but I’ll be fine." she said.
"You can vent to me, I’m a stranger who won’t judge you." I said hoping I wasn’t coming on too strong.
"You don’t want to hear about me" she said.
"Sit. Talk please. Everyone is too drunk of their asses to form proper sentences in there." I said.
She laughed and obliged. Gosh was she gorgeous.
"I just broke up with a guy that I’ve been with for ten years. I lived with him, now how the hell am I suppose to get my clothes and shit? See I’m a mess Austin, you don’t want to deal with me." she said, as she pushed her hair into her face as well as her hands.
"You just hit a bump in the road. If you were together that long and he decided to turn on you, that isn’t fair to you. You deserve better." I said.
"He’s all I know." she said.
I placed my hand on her shoulder, to comfort her.
She came closer and ended up that she was crying on my chest. Her tears stained my shirt but I didn’t mind.
Suddenly she pulled away.
"I’m half drunk and I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that." she said.
"No you’re fine Scarlett."
"I’m going to go find Erin and head to her apartment then…um…it was nice meeting you!" she said.
"I enjoyed meeting you as well. If you need anything let me know." I said.
"Thanks Austin. Um I’m not usually this forward but the alcohol helps, anyway can I have your number, I might take you up on that offer one day." she said as she handed me her phone.
I put my contact info in and handed it back to her.
"Thanks again" and she hugged me, then went to find Erin.
This might be the start of something great.
