Glass Hearts

The crowd behind is just going absolutely mental as the guys play one of their song, "The Depths". Of course I have listened to this song before but holy fucking shit. It sounds ten times better live.

I have taken so many pictures since they came onto the stage and they are just now on their second to last song. I might have peeked at their set list. Oops. Anyways, Austin is dripping with sweat and is performing with every fiber of his being. I just worry about him because of his heart condition but he seems to know how to handle it well. I am currently standing somewhat underneath him as he is leaning over, screaming out lyrics. With my camera in my face, I don't have time to react to him shaking his head, slinging sweat all over me.

"FUCKER!" I scream, gagging a little while trying to wipe away the grossness. I look up to see him laughing his ass off as the song comes to an end. He kneels down on the stage and I glare at him.

"Aww don't be mad." He talks into the mic, pulling the attention to him and I. He taps the security guard's shoulder and says something, I can't make out, in his ear. The security guard smiles and looks at me. He nods now looking around for something. I'm so confused as I look back up at Austin. He just smiles at me and stands up to address the crowd. "Alright everybody. Before we go into the last song of the set, I want all of you to meet someone. The ones at the meet and greet earlier saw her but most of you didn't." The smile never leaves his face as he talks, making me take at least ten pictures of him just because he is so gorgeous. The security guard from a moment ago taps my shoulder and I avert my gaze to him.

"He wants you to get onstage." He informs me and my eyes grow wide. Before I can refuse, he's helping me up on what looks like a paint bucket and Austin takes my hand to pull me fully up onstage. My heart is pounding so hard I'm surprised he couldn't hear it. Austin throws a sweaty arm around my shoulders, I hold back from cringing because sweat is gross, and talks to the crowd again. I just stand here being as awkward as I can be.

"Get your phones on video and record this because it's very important." I look over at him and he pulls me closer. "This beautiful women is Faith. She is our photographer for the tour and more than likely for tours to come." That makes me smile widely. He continues but I just have to take a few pictures of the amazing crowd. "We have known Faith for a little over a month and I have never met anybody so fucking strong and driven in my life. I have already mentioned she is beautiful but I don't give to fucks, I'm going to say it again. Faith," he turns to me and stares into my eyes, "you are so unbelievable gorgeous, talented, kind-hearted, funny, and so fucking strong. From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were something special and I was right." The whole crowd erupts into 'Awws' and cheers but Austin holds his hand up, politely silencing them. You can actually hear the other bands that are around stop playing to hear what Austin is saying. He steps towards me and runs his thumb over my cheek, brushing away tears I didn't realizing were falling.

"GET IT AUSTIN!" I hear someone yell into a microphone from a different stage and the two crowds erupt into cheers. I giggle and Austin laughs, his face burning a crimson color.

"Shut up Kellin!" He yells but laughs at the same time turning towards the other stage quickly. Kellin holds his hands up in defense and gestures for Austin to continue. He turns back to me and my heart flutters from how bright his eyes are shining. "Faith my mother told me something before she passed away and it never seemed true until I met you. She said 'When you find the one, you'll feel it in your bones. That person will make you feel invincible. Just by looking at them, you can see they were meant to walk into your life. You'll find the one and you'll feel it, Aus. I promise.'" He takes a deep breath and by now, I'm full on crying. "What I'm trying to say or more like ask is, Faith Mason, will you be my girlfriend?" The whole speech sounded like a marriage proposal and I am breathless because of it. Somehow I manage to squeak out an answer.

"Y-yes. Of course!" My voice is shaky as fuck because I mean shit! He brought me up onstage and asked me out infront of hundreds of people! The crowd erupts into cheers as Austin pulls me to him and kisses me with so much passion. I melt against him, totally forgetting how sweaty he is, and kiss him back with just as much passion. He pulls back after a minute or so with the biggest smile on his face and I am definitely mirroring him with a smile just as big.

"That was so fucking sweet. Damn it, Austin! You made me cry, man!" Kellin's voice is heard again and I start laughing, leaning my head against Austin.

"That just shows you have a heart, fucker!" Alan joins in, making everybody chuckle a little. Alan and Kellin fight back and forth jokingly as Austin looks down at me.

"You just made me the happiest man in the world." He breathes out before kissing my forehead.

"Well, Mr. Carlile, you just made me the happiest women in the world. Really, that whole speech was beautiful." I kiss his cheek. "We will have time to talk later but you might want to play your last song." The look on his face makes me think I just brought him back to reality.

"Oh shit. I forgot we are still onstage." He chuckles as I step away from him to jump offstage. "Alright! Thank you guys from sharing that amazing, touching moment with us. We are going to wrap up the set with 'Second & Sebring'. Mom, this is for you!" He gazes up at the sky as he says the last part. My heart clenches at the gesture and I quickly capture the moment. I watch as Austin starts to get emotional towards the end of the song. The guitars and drums stop as the crowd sings the lyrics and I have never heard something so beautiful. My heart swells with love hearing it. Austin is standing on one of the ego risers with his arms wide open, staring up at the sky looking like a perfect angel.

"Thank you!" All the guys shout together, pulling me back to reality. I smile, taking a few more pictures before they walk off stage. The crowd is buzzing with adrenaline from the set and I would be lying if I say I don't feel the same way but for a completely different reason. Smiling widely to myself, I kneel down and start packing my cameras back up. I can hear talking around me usually I would ignore it but when I hear my name, I strain to listen.

"I don't like her. Now I can't be with Austin!" Are you kidding me? You're like thirteen. I mentally reply to the girl but keep my mouth shut, like I don't hear them at all.

"Shut up. He's like thirteen years older than you and she's really fucking pretty. Just fucking be happy." Well I was right about the girl being around thirteen. I giggle to myself and shake my head, standing ready to walk away when someone calls my name. My mind is yelling at me to ignore it but I don't want to come over as I bitch so I turn around. A girl, who is really fucking sun burnt, waves me over to her.

"Hi." I say as sweetly as I can because quite frankly, I'm confused.

"Hi. Um, I wanted to ask you a question and please please please don't take it the wrong way." She rambles out and looks like she's about to either throw up or pass out. I nod at her, telling her to continue. "Well I.. umm... noticed your scar and I was wondering what happened?" She mumbles out the last part almost to the point where I can't understand it. I chew on my bottom lip and go to open my mouth to speak but she blurts out before I can. "I mean I have one too and it's from my step brother trying to kill me last year." My eyes grow wide when I finally notice the long scar on her face. It goes from her hair line to the middle of her cheek. My heart aches for the girl.

"Well umm... this happened recently. Basically in the same manor as yours happened." I didn't want to come out and say everything that happened so I just sugar coated it. A lot.

"Oh. I'm so sorry that happened to you too but I'm really happy for you and Austin. Can you give this to him for me?" She holds out a colorful stuffed octopus that has an envelope attached to it. I smile and nod. "Oh my gosh, thank you so much." I take the cute little thing from her before pulling me phone out.

"Can I get a picture of you so he can put a face to the sweet gift?" The girl literally squeals so loud my ears start to ring. I quickly take a picture before telling her I should get back to the guys. She says thank you again and I walk away before anybody else can grab my attention.

Today has been exhausting but truly one of the best days of my life. I just hope the whole summer is like this.
