Austin:

I saw her. In the crowd. Was it a figment of my imagination or was she really there? She was in the front row of my stage. Or “my stage” at the moment. After all, it was Vans Warped Tour. I was singing “Bones Exposed” and I reached out my hand to her. She grabbed my hand and I pulled her up on stage with me.

I was looking straight into her eyes when Aaron was singing. I smiled at her. She smiled at me. It’s been a long time since I've last seen her in the hospital bed. Angry at me for making a decision that I soon regretted the moment I left her in the hospital bed.

I take her hand and kiss it. She hugged me and whispered in my ear. “I’m sorry. I couldn't stand not seeing your or talking to you anymore. I love you, Austin Carlile.”

I guess she hadn't heard. Alexandria and I our now married. It’s been this way for at least 3 months now. I was happy in my marriage but, not as happy as I would be if Natalie was by my side. I really did miss her but, I thought if we ever came to contact again that, she would just ignore me.

Our set was over and I dragged Natalie backstage with the rest of the band. We all headed to the bar just across the street from the venue. Issues was playing their set and man were they just fan-fucking-tastic. I didn't know if Tyler and Natalie were still together or not.

*30 minutes later*

We talked for half an hour. Natalie and Tyler are still together. Her mom just recently had a heart attack but, she’s fine. She still prays every night to her brother even though he always watches over her. I couldn't help but stare into her eyes when she was talking to me. Oh, those eyes. Our memories flooded back into my mind in such a rush. Now tat I look back at my decision, I wonder why I ever let her walk out of my life. Or in our, why I ever walked out of her life. I really missed her and needed her back.
We were heading to Issues’s tour bus because, I want to walk her there. Just as she put her hand on the door of the bus, I had to stop her.
“Natalie?”
“Yes, Austin?” she turns around to face me.
“Are you staying for the whole tour?”
“Yes, Austin?” she smiles warmly.
“Well,” I bit my lip “good night, Nat.”
“Good night, Austin.”

Natalie:
I enter the bus to a very “angry” Tyler Carter. Arms crossed in front of his chest and an “angry” expression right on that pretty boy face. His dirty blonde hair looked wet as it hung across his forehead. His eyes piercing through my bruised soul.

“Where have you been? I've been calling you all day.”

I stuttered and slurred out my words. I was mesmerized by is somewhat country accent that would spill out from his lips sometimes like cinnamon butter.
“I-I was with Austin and his band.” I shut my eyes. I was ready for Tyler to get super mad at me. After all, I told him that I would never speak to Austin again.

I smelt his peppermint gum that he liked. The scent was in front of me. I opened my eyes to see Tyler standing in front of me. His eyes looked like they were filled with lust. He put his hands on my hips and pulled me closer. Now, our noses were touching at the tips.
“Oh, my beautiful Natalie. I could never stay mad at you,” he kissed my neck and let his towel drop, “Looks like you need to be punished.”

I gulped hard. I couldn't help but, fall under his spell. After all, his eyes were piercing my soul.
