Callie's POV

"Don't cry, it'll be okay, I promise. You wanna know why?" Austin said with a smile. "Why" I asked as I wiped the tears away. "Come with me." I paused from wiping my eyes. "What?" My voice cracked. "I want you to come, with me, on tour." He said quietly. I was bubbling with excitement. If I say yes, I get to tour with him, see every single show side stage, go to meet and greets, meet the other band members that saved my life, and travel the world with them.

"Earth to Callie." He laughed. "Yes." I smiled. "I'll come with you." He smiled at me, pulling me into a big bear hug. "You won't regret it, I promise." He smiled really wide. I laughed at his eagerness. "I know I won't." I smiled. He kissed me on the cheek. I was taken aback and started to uncontrollably blushing. "I'm sorry, I-" I interpreted his sentence by putting my finger on his lips to stop him from talking. "It's fine." I turned to look out the front view mirror. I heard Austin chuckle and put the car in drive.

We arrived at my house in a matter of minutes. Austin put the car in park, shut the engine off and turned to me. "I can't wait for you to come with on us on this tour," Austin said quietly, he still had that smile on his face. "We're gonna have so much fun." I smiled back. In my peripheral vision, I saw my sister staring at us from the window. A devious smile on her face. We both got out the car and began to walk to my door. It was the usual routine every time we hung out. Walk to the door, hug each other goodbye, watch Austin drive away and with not even two minutes after I get in the house, we begin to text.

When I walked into the house, my sister met me right at the door. "So, what were you two talking about?" She asked while twirling a piece of her hair around her finger. "I'm going on tour with Austin." I shouted and jumped up and down. Eleana cheered and hugged me.

I couldn't wait.

Callie's POV

Today was the day that I leave to tour with Of Mice And Men for two months. I'm excited but scared at the same time. Now that my sister is three months pregnant, I was worried that she won't be able to adjust to me leaving and I woudn't be back until she's 5 months pregnant. But she has Andrew but he has to go out of town within those weeks that I'm gone. That's another fear of mine. I never left Eleana before for no more than ten hours. We were practically stuck together like glue. Never leaving each others side. That's how it always has been.

I took a deep breath, picked up my suitcase, laptop bag and other necessities. I said a silent goodbye to my bedroom as I closed the door. Walking towards the living room, Eleana attacked me with hugs. I dropped everything to hug her tightly. "I'm gonna miss you so much." Eleana said. I held back the sob that wanted to escape from my lips. "I'm gonna miss you too." My voice cracked.

The doorbell ringed to break our hug fest. Eleana opened the door to reveal Austin smiling. They hugged and Eleana whispered something in Austin's ear that I couldn't decipher. He nodded to acknowledged what she said. He looked up when he saw me and asked, "Are you ready?" I smiled, picked up my things that were dropped. "Yeah."

Austin came over and grabbed my things out my hands. "I got it." He smiled. With one last hug from Eleana, I was on my way to the tour bus that the guys will be touring in. I was scared to meet the guys because they're my heroes too but I was excited at the same time. "Don't be nervous Cal. It'll be fine, I promise. You wanna know why?" He smiled with a twinkle in his eye. "Why?" I replied. "Because you're with me and that's all that matters." He hugged me. "I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you and so is the rest of the band." He smiled. He pulled away and kissed my cheek. I smiled and walked on the bus behind Austin.

Austin opened the curtain that lead into the front lounge. "Is that Callie?" Alan shouted as we walked out of the bunk area. "Alan, calm down." Austin laughed. "We've been dying to meet you." Tino said excitedly, coming out behind Alan. "Austin can't shut up about you. That's all we hear about." I looked at Austin to see he was blushing just like I was. The guys laughed. "You obviously know who we are right?" Aaron asked from his sit on the couch. "Yeah." I smiled with a giggle.

The driver turned the ignition on. Signaling that we were about to begin our adventure. "Oh, that's Gill, our bus driver for the whole tour." Phil said from behind me. I jumped a little. "Where you outside?" I asked. He nodded. "Did I scare you?" He laughed. I nodded and blushed a little. "Sorry." He said and hugged me. Some of his hair tickled my cheek.

Gill drove off from my house and merged to the highway. Along the way to our destination, the guys talked among themselves as they were playing Call Of Duty on the Playstation that was in the back lounge. I watch on while Austin was beside me watching too. I glanced at him and smiled. He smiled right back and rubbed my arm sending goosebumps to my whole body. He felt it too. He stopped for a second before looking at me. His eyes were silently telling me 'sorry'. "It's okay." I whispered.

He continued and said, "If anything is uncomfortable to you, let me know, okay?" He asked. I nodded. I was comfortable around him. I felt safe, secure, and protected. There was honestly no place I would rather be, than right here with him.
