This Heart; it beats, beats for only you.
Falling
Austin’s POV:
It was a long flight but we finally made it to L.A.X. I hugged the guy’s goodbye.
“I’ll text you in the morning!” Alan shouted to me as he got into his cab.
“Okay, man! I’ll talk to you later!” I shouted back as I put my bags into the truck of my cab and gave the cabbie my address.
I can’t wait to see Kali. She’s so perfect. From her long black hair, to her dark chocolate brown eyes, to her tattoos. She has a few tattoos, not as many as I do though. But my favorite of hers is one that I had written out, way before we had started dating. It feels like yesterday, it was during a meet and greet we had with some fans at warped tour. She came up to our table and hugged all the guys and told Alan she named her mom’s cat after him. Then she came up to me, she looked so excited and happy yet so scared and fragile. I glanced over her and noticed she had some older and healed scars on her arm. She must have noticed that I was looking at her scars, she moved her arm and placed it behind her back. I just smiled up at her, making a blush spread across her face.
“Hi! I’m Austin!” I said as she beamed with happiness.
“Hi, Austin. I’m Kali.”
“Do you want me to sign something for you?”
“Yes, actually that would be awesome.” She handed me a notebook. “I actually have a favor to ask of you. Could you write “You’re too young to live this way, just look around and see life is beauty..”
I smiled at her happily as I saw tears starting to well up in her eyes. “Of course, I will, Kali.”
“Thank you! Those words mean everything to me…”
“I’m glad to hear that Kali.” I sighed, I hate seeing a fan sad.
“Thanks again, Austin, for everything.” She walked away before I could say anything more.

“That’ll be $27.50 sir..” A voice said interrupting my thoughts.
I nodded to him and handed him $40. “Keep the change.” I said quickly.
“Oh, thank you” He sounded surprised that I even tipped him at all.
I grabbed my bags and headed towards the front door. This is it. I’m going to see the love of my life for the first time in over a month. I knocked but no reply. I heard music blaring from the house. Of course she’s jamming to something, she always has her music nearby. I fumbled through my luggage, looking for my keys. I finally found them, of course it would be the last place I looked. I grabbed my keys and opened the door. There she is, the most beautiful girl in my life. She’s screaming along to her music and nodding her head back and forth, trying to gently head bang. She looks so stunning in her dress, it makes all her features stand out. I was standing there, falling in love with her all over again.
“There were never any fingerprints to hide, because your death was a suicide. There was no evidence to hide, because it wasn’t me who committed the crime.” She sang along to the music. I’ve never actually heard this song before, let alone knew what band it was.
“We were not the same! You made the wrong moves at the right times! Was it fate or was it in your mind? We were not the same, you made me insane. We were not the same!” She screamed proudly. For someone who hasn’t really screamed before, she’s pretty good.
I closed the door loudly behind me and dropped my bags on the floor, startling her.
“Austin! You prick! You scared the shit out of me!” She said as she clutched her heart, sounding completely winded, like she just ran a marathon.
“Glad to see you too!” I said sarcastically.
She smiled and ran up to me and put her arms tightly around me. I embraced her, leaning down to kiss the top of her head, engulfing me with the sweet scent of her hair. Floral and beautiful, just like her. Damn, I really fucking missed her. Her smile, her laugh, her touch, her kiss, everything. I know we’ve only been together for over a year, but I know that I’m gonna marry this girl one day. To spend the rest of my life with her, waking up next to her, fighting with her, and laughing and crying with her.
We stood by the front door embracing each other for ten minutes. Then she pulled away gently and looked up at me. I could see that sparkle in her gorgeous eyes, letting me know that she truly loves me. I’ll never understand why. I’m never here for her. I’m either on the road or recording a new track or writing lyrics. She is so stunning, she could have anyone she wanted, but she chose me.
“I want you Austin.” She said reassuringly.
“Oh, so now you’re reading my mind?” I stuck my tongue out at her and she bit the air.
“No. I just know you that well. Plus you had this really concerned and hurt look on your face.” She said before kissing my chest.
I smiled and chuckled and planted a sweet kiss on her soft and flushed cheek. How did I ever get so lucky, to have a wonderful girl like Kali? After Gielle I never thought or even wanted to feel this way towards anyone. I never thought I could be close to someone in this way ever again. But with Kali it came so naturally. I couldn’t help but fall for her.
