It’s been two weeks since CC asked me to marry him and since then everything’s gone somewhat smoothly. CC and I found and moved into a small house so I could get out of Juliet and Andy’s hair. Finding a place wasn’t hard, but finding a place where it was private and had nature around for me wasn’t easy. CC’s the kind of person that likes to be in the city and in the groove of everything and I’d rather spend my life in the woods. I convinced him that with all the touring he’d be doing that coming home to a secluded home will be good for him. So we settled on a small four bedroom ranch home tucked away from the city, but were 10 minutes from the nearest highway. Eli was currently back home in Indiana finishing out his senior year at Ball State since he only had a few weeks left. When he came back to LA after graduating he was going to stay with us until he gathered enough money to find an apartment and live on his own.

We started Warped about a week ago and it’s been the best thing ever. I remember going to Warped with Eli so many times to see Of Mice&Men, Falling in Reverse, and Bring Me the Horizon and moshing; basically just going fucking nuts and now I get to be a part of it with my best friend. Today we’re in Arizona for the venue and I must say living with guys is the most disgusting thing ever; especially for a person with OCD.

CC and I had just gotten back from taking a walk around the bus lot. He was sitting on the couch watching me as I dug through my bag trying to find my pair of Vans. I sighed heavily, giving up on my bag. “Babe, do you know where my Vans are?” I asked as I went through our bunk.

“What, you mean these?” I peaked over my shoulder and saw him holding up my shoes.

“Thank god you found them.” I walked over and went to grab them, but he pulled them away. I went for them again, but he pulled back again.

“C, come on, give them to me please,” I pleaded and faked a pout, but I received an eye roll from him. “Alright, what do you want?” I asked. He raised a finger and tapped his lips, smirking playfully. I gave him an eye roll back and sighed. “You know, you could’ve just asked me.” I smiled softly and sat down on his lap, quickly diving into the kiss. My hands instinctively went up to his neck as his wove around my waist. The single kiss quickly turned into a full out make out session, but neither of us cared. My right hair carefully slid into his hair, gently tugging on it. I received a slight moan from my action in which he started to tug on my lower lip a bit harder than I expected. He started to nibble on my lower lip gently which made me pull on his hair slightly harder.

“Are you two in there?” I heard Jake yell from behind the door. We pulled away abruptly, breathless.

“Yeah, we’re in here.” CC replied.

“Dude, hurry up we’re playing soon.”

“Shit, okay. I’ll be there in a sec.” CC took a deep breath and looked back at me. He cradled the sides of my face and kissed me again, without as much intensity. I kissed him back before he pulled away and smiled at me. “We’ll continue that later on,” He had a goofy smile spread across his face. “Come on, we’re going to be late.” I nodded and quickly slipped my Vans on. We walked out of the bus and started to run when we hit the concrete.

We ran backstage and saw the other guys tuning their instruments. “Hey, sorry we were late, Annah couldn’t find her shoes.” CC said breathless.

“That’s alright, good thing we already had sound check.” Jinxx spoke up, walking toward us. I smiled at him and he returned it. I gave him a quick hug, Jake a fist bump, and gave Ashley a kiss on the cheek.

“Play well, guys.” I said, giving them a smile. They nodded and returned the smile before I turned back to CC. I grabbed his drum sticks from my back pocket and handed them to him. “Beat the shit out of those drums.” I whispered. “I love you.” I smiled brightly and kissed the tip of his nose. He laughed quietly and tapped his sticks on the top of my head.

“I love you too.” He replied before joining the rest of the guys. I made eye contact with Andy and he gave me a slight nod. I smiled half heartedly as they ran out on stage. I walked over to where they were just standing to get a good view of the concert.

Their set was amazing this round. They played most of the songs off of Wretched and Divine plus Knives and Pens and The Legacy. They thanked the crowd for coming out and ran off the stage full of energy. CC ran up to me shirtless and picked me up, spinning around in a circle. I erupted in a fit of laughter and stuck my tongue out at him. He smiled and put me down, “So, how’d you like it?”

“You’ve been asking me that for the past week. It was amazing!” I said, matching his ecstatic tone.

“They guys are going to head to party after they find Tony, Jack, and the others. Wanna come?” I nodded quickly. My throat was already burning at the thought of alcohol.

“Hell yes! What are we waiting for?” He chuckled at me.

“This is part of the reason why I love you.” He joked.

-Later That Night-
I down my fourth shot of vodka. The liquid burned as it went down my throat, but it was an addicting burn. I set the glass down and looked around. I was already starting to feel like shit because my body can’t tolerate liquor very well. I tried to spot CC, but it was useless. I rubbed my forehead and started to make the short walk back to the bus. I barely found the bus, but when I did I was relieved. I made my way slowly up the steps and walked to the fridge. I pulled out a bottle of water and lay down on the couch. I stayed there for about 20 minutes before someone else walked in the bus.

“There you are!” CC yelled.

I kept my eyes closed and waved in his direction. “Here I am!” I yelled back. I heard him laugh as he made his way over to me. He gently lifted my upper body up and sat down; carefully laying my head back down in his lap. I opened my eyes, “Hi there.” I smiled up at him and sat up, leaning against his shoulder. He took a moment to study me before pulling me to him, crashing his lips on mine. I was caught off guard by his actions, but brushed it off quickly. I quickly picked up on his intensity and tangled my hands in his hair. He wrapped one hand around my waist and rested the other one on the skin of my hip under the material of my shirt. His tongue was aggressive against mine as I pressed myself against him. I started to gently pull on his long black hair, clearly turning him on. One of my hands left his hair to rest on his left thigh. He pulled away slowly and looked at me again. He took my hand and stood up, pulling me to the back of the bus and into the bedroom. I was confused at first, but I heard a bunch of rambling going on outside of the bus and nodded. CC took out his phone and turned on some music to overpower the drunks outside. The first song that came on first was a Pierce the Veil song that I didn’t recognize at first. He led me over to the bed and sat down. He patted his lap and I sat down smiling widely at him. He took my left hand, running a hand up the inside of my forearm. Before I knew what he was doing he raised my arm to his lips and started to kiss each one of my scars, new and old. I started to listen to the song that was on; it was A Match into Water. I smiled up at him and kissed his cheek.

“I’m so proud of you. Over two weeks clean…” He trailed off. I smiled at him as he bit his lip. I held either side of his face and kissed him desperately. He kissed me back, but lovingly. He reassured me that it was okay by holding me close to him. My body started to tingle as he deepened the kiss to a level we’ve never gone before. I returned it as best as I could, hoping it was enough for him. Stop it. He loves you; let your feelings take over. I told myself and I did just that. I let my actions do the talking. I slid my hands under the material of his shirt and worked it off of his chest. He pulled away, sliding it over his head. He slowly slid the material of my cut-off off of my torso and over my head. He brushed my bangs out of my face and stroked my cheek gently. I looked into his beautiful hazel eyes, seeing my reflection in them. He showed the same thing in them that I felt and he took that as confirmation. He slid the both of us back onto the bed, connecting our lips again. He kissed me deeply and passionately as he cradled the back of my head, bringing me as close to him as possible. His other hand slowly made its way up to the button of my jeans, undoing them easily. I did the same with his only with two hands. We slid both of our jeans off and kicked them on the floor.

CC moved to hover over me, placing his hands on either side of my head. My hand gently traced the paint on his chest. I felt goose bumps appear beneath my finger and smiled against his lips. He started to tug on my lower lip forcefully, but still being gentle with me. I felt one of his hands trail down my chest and down to my waist, his touch as light as a feather. He started to mess with the fabric of my underwear and before I knew it he slid them off, adding them to the pile of our jeans, quickly adding his boxers and my bra to the pile as well. “I love you,” I heard him whisper on my lips. “I love you too, forever will I love you.” I whispered back.

The rest of that night was for us to remember, something for only the two of us to cherish and shall be only for our minds forever.
