*Tiffany POV*

Sam ran over to me, I automatically lifted him up in my arms.
“What are you doing here? I thought you were going to your friends party first?” Austin asked with a confused face. The guys that he walked up with were quietly mumbling back and forth to each other.
“This is my friends party and Where is your grandmother?” I looked at Sam in my arms.

“SAMUEL CHRISTOPHER SULLIVAN!!” I heard my mother yell from behind me.

“You ran from grandma, didn’t you?’ I looked at him with a questioning look. In return, he hid his face in the curve of my neck. ‘He’s fine, mom.” I said as she grew closer. I looked at Austin who was making faces at Sam. I don’t how he got him to but Austin got him to look at him and laugh. Sam hasn’t been keen to men except to his uncles and grandfather since my divorce. I was amazed at the fact that Austin was able to get him to acknowledge him let alone laugh.
“That not the point, Tiffany, He has to learn just because he sees you or just something he wants or likes doesn’t mean he can run off like that. It’s not safe!” My mother put her hands on her hips.

“I know mother. Sam, what are you supposed to say?”
Sam turned around and looked at her “I am sorry grandma. I love you and I promise I won’t do it again.”
“Okay I accept your apology you handsome little devil.” She took him from me. Austin had walked away then and was talking to his friends.
“So I just have a question… What are you doing here?” I asked with a shrug of my shoulders. I noticed Austin had popped back up back by my side and friends were making their way inside.
“You’re Austin Carlile.” My mom looked at Austin with a smile.
“In the flesh.” Austin smiled back.
“I love your band. You guys make amazing music.” Was my mom seriously flirting with Austin in from of me?
“Mom you don’t even listen to the bands I tell you to. How would you even know?” I placed a hand on my hip.
“Who doesn’t know Of Mice and Men? I swear she think just that I am older that I don’t know anything about good music. I don’t live in the stone age hunny!” She snapped her fingers and flipped her long black hair behind her.
That’s when it all came to together. I knew who he was. I knew his band. I raised a hand to my mouth as It all became clear. I slept with Austin Carlile. I looked back and forth between the two of them. “I like your tattoo. Mommy I want that one, can I get it?” I looked at the geisha tattoo on Austin’s neck. “Sure hun. but remember you have to wait till you 16.” I looked back at my mom then and a gave her a look tell her ‘This is him.’, reminding her of what I told her earlier today. It took her a second to realize what I was trying to get a cross to her.
“That’s my cue to go’ She mumbled ‘Well Austin, It was nice to meet you. I’ll see you soon Austin. Here, give Chris his wallet he left it at the house.” I kissed her and Sam goodbye and waved as they started to walk down the driveway back to my mom’ s car.
“I am so sorry for my mom. She kinda thinks she’s a cool mom.” I turned back to him embarrassed by what just happened.
“Your fine.” He laughed ‘Wanna go inside now?” His hand slide around my waist pulling me into him. I nodded my head. We walked in and were greeted by Oliver and Hannah.
“You too look cozy.” Hannah whispered into my ear. I looked away smiling trying to ignore her comment. Austin hug Hannah and kiss her on the cheek still holding on to me. I slid out of Austin’s arm and hugged Oliver. I looked around the beach house trying to ignore the fact that his hand had started to make his way back on to my waist. There were a couple of new faces I didn’t know and some old ones. I looked over and saw Lionel.
“Hey, I gonna go to talk Lionel for a little bit.” I said looking at Austin to Oliver then Hannah.
“Yeah okay. I’ll catch you in a little bit.” Austin leaned down toward me, bring his lips closer to mine. I turned my face and he pecked my cheek. I didn't really have anything to talk about with Lionel. I just wanted to get way from Austin. I knew that the guys would make a scene. I didn’t want that to happen. I actually liked Austin. Not just because of his story but him in general. I didn’t want my idiot brother’s to fuck it up before it actually was something more than a one night stand.
“How was your night?” Lionel asked as I came up.
“Amazing till I came back and got all this brotherly love.”
“So you and Carlile do the dirty?” Lionel cocked an eyebrow at me, whispering. He took a sip of his beer waiting for an answer. I had no reason to keep my sex and romantic life from Lionel. He had been my best friend since middle school. He was there for me when things were good and even when things seem like they were never going to get better. I wasn’t going to lie to him now after everything. Even if I tried he would know I was.
I nodded and looked away.
“Yes!!!!!” Lionel yelled and threw a fist into the air. I looked at him so surprised at his outburst, spilling his drink on my dress in the process. I groaned and threw him a glare. I could feel all eyes on us. “Just really excited to being on tour again.” I stated for everyone to hear to take their eyes off us.
“You’re paying for my dry cleaning asshole.”
“Fine.” He said pulling me into a side hug before I walked away to go clean myself up. Once I got to the bathroom, my phone started ringing. I smiled as Break shit started to play, I knew exactly who it was.
“Hey numb nuts.”
“Hey, fuck you my nuts are never numb.’ I heard Fronz laugh. ‘So guess what I just heard from a little birdy.”
“What?” I said trying to balance my phone in between my ear and shoulder as I clean the front of my dress after I found a clean clean washcloth under the sink.
“That you slept with a friend of mine.”

“And who the fuck told you that?” I stopped what I was doing, grabbing hold of my phone with my hand.
“Well, Lionel did. I just expected to hear it from you when you finally let another man touch you if you weren’t gonna let me be the first to hit it after two years.” He was trying tease me but I knew that he was very serious about it. Chris and I were together when we were in high school. He always brought it up, even in public. We were great together but I thought we were better off as friends.
“Chris, lets not even go there okay? How do you always find a way to bring up the past?” I looked down at the space in between my breast and started to clean there since it was sticky from the beer.
“I just don’t want you to forget the amazing nights and sex we use to have before you started dating that asshole, Devin.” My head snapped at my ex husbands name. That’s when I caught a glimpse of a tall figure and jumped at the sight of him, dropping my phone in the process.

*Chris POV*

“I just don’t want you to forget the amazing nights and sex use to have before you started dating that asshole Devin.”

I regretted saying it as soon as it came out. The only thing I heard next was something falling and hitting the floor.
“Tiffany!” I yelled into the phone.
“I am sorry I didn’t mean to scare you. I knocked but you didn’t say anything so and the door was unlocked.” It was a male voice in the background. I sat there on my tour bus, listening confused.
“It’s fine actually I was just caught a little off guard.” I heard Tiffany say.
“I was wondering if you wanted go for a walk on the beach. Its kinda boring out here.” The male voice spoke again. He sounded so familiar, I just couldn’t figure out who it was.
“Yeah, I would love too.’ I could hear the smile in her voice. ‘Oh shit! I almost forgot.”
I could hear the phone being moved. “Hey Chris, I’ll call you tonight or maybe tomorrow. Okay?”
“Sure. Um. That’s cool. Kiss Sam for me okay?
“I will.” I could hear her smile again at just the sound of her son’s name. I knew how much she loved Sam. He was her life.
“Bye.”
“Bye.”

I hung up and put my phone down in front of me on the table. I stared at it frustrated that she left to hang out with some guy and do god knows what on the beach.
“Man, you need to fucking stop pining over her.” Sean said walking into “dining/living” room of our tour bus. I looked up from my phone knowing he was right.
“But I can’t. I don’t even know why.” I ran my hands through my hair. I have loved Tiffany since the day I meet her in High school. We hit it off instantly. She was nicest person I met there and she instantly took me under her wing, showing me the school and things in town. She was the one that introduced me to Sean. Even helped me start Attila. But somewhere in meeting her and hanging out, I fell hard for her. I told her I liked her, scared to actually tell her I had fallen in love with her. And just like that we started dating. After a month of being together though, I could tell she wasn’t feeling the same way. A few weeks after our four month anniversary, we broke up. I cried for weeks and put on a fake smile whenever I saw her. That’s when I noticed that Devin started popping up when she was around me Lionel or her brothers. It was only a month later that they were inseparable. I tried to warn her about him. I knew he was no good for her, we all tried to warning her. But she is so fucking stubborn. Two years later they would be married and She would adopt Sam after his parents passed away. Over time I noticed the way she acted when Devin was around. I knew what was happening, but there was nothing I could do If she wouldn’t tell me. If I didn’t show up that night, I know She and Sam wouldn’t have made it.

*FlashBack*

I walked up to door with my son, Blaise, and rang the doorbell. That’s when I heard a scream. I automatically turned back to my car and dragging Blaise back to my car. “Stay here okay bud.” I looked down at him.
“Okay daddy.” I quickly turned on car and buckled Blasie back into his carseat. Before I ran back to the house I made sure that the AC was on. I ran to the door and tried the door knob. Realizing it was locked, I started to kick it in. Once the door gave way. I followed the sound of Tiffany’s scream and cries. I ran upstairs to find Tiffany down on the floor holding on to an unconscious Sam.

“Please Devin! I love you! Don’t do this! I swear I’ll never leave you! I have stayed this long haven’t I !?!”

Devin had a gun pointed at her and Sam. There was blood all over her face, chest, and arms. I walked up slowly behind him. I signaled for Tiffany to not say anything. I looked around for something to hit him with. I quickly and quietly picked up the lamp that was on the dresser beside me and hit him over the head with it. A shot ran through the air.

I snapped back to reality with Sean’s hand in my face. I shoved the dark memory to back of my mind.
“ You can’t keep replaying that fucking night you head, man. It’s not good for you.”
“I should have done something.” I returned my head back to it original position, in my hands.

“You were there when she needed you. Even if she did fight you on it, you were there.”
I knew he was right, I just didn’t want to accept it.
“We’ve got tomorrow off, so why don’t we get hellafucked up tonight?”
“Maybe that’s what I need.” I said finally looking up from my hands.
“Not Maybe. It Is.’ Sean got up and walked back to his bunk and came back over with drumsticks in his hands. ‘Now lets go kill it. The guys are waiting for us backstage.”
Sean placed a hand on my shoulder and walked off the bus. I picked up my phone pushing it into my back pocket.
“Let do this.” I followed after Sean, ready to leave every emotion and feeling on that stage tonight.
