Almost Easy
Through It All
Auden's POV
"Dylan, I'm scared to lose him. I'm so scared. He is so perfect and knows how to help me through things. He completes me in ways I didn't know could be completed. Dad loved him. Then his ex just wants to come back and try to ruin it. I know he is going to be hurt when he wakes up, and I will be there for him but I just don't want him to leave. " I said looking at my brother. In my dream we were back at his house in the living room.
"Auden, calm down. I don't think he has intentions of leaving you any time soon. He loves you trust me he has told me multiple times. He doesn't want Valary back he wants you. You'll see that soon. Valary is just jealous that he upgraded to a non gold digger and someone who actually cares for him." Dylan said looking at me with a 'are you kidding me' look.
"He knows I'm scared." I said.
"Yeah he does, we've talked and I told him why you were scared and he understood." Dylan said.
"Dyl, this has been the first time in a while we've gotten to talk, why is that?" I asked.
"Because baby sister, you've been stressing out and I thought if I came, saw you and let you vent then we talk it out it would help you." he said with a smile.
"You know how to help always don't you?" I said.
"Yup that's what big brothers are for even if I am dead." he said. I frowned. "Remember I am always around. I know everything."
"I know I just wish I knew what was going through Matt's mind." I said
"You will soon baby sister just stay strong, be there for Matt when he needs it the most like he is for you." Dylan smiled
"I will be don't worry" I smiled back.
"Time for me to go you guys are going to have a busy day today." He said kissing my head
"I know, concert #2 can't wait. But is the warning from Brian off?" I asked quickly.
"Yes for now. I love you Auden!" he said
"I love you too Dylan!" I said. Then he was gone and I was waking up.
"Sound check soon everyone get up and move about." I heard one of the Berry's say. I woke up and saw Matt sitting on the edge of the bed already dressed. I moved closer to him and started rubbing his back, he seemed stressed out.
"Matt are you ok?" I asked softly
"Yeah, I've just been thinking a lot." he answered back.
"Wanna talk about it? you know I'm here for you" I said kissing his neck.
"I know baby, but I'm just trying to work some things out in my mind." he said.
"I'll always be here if you need help. I'm not leaving" I said softly.
"Thanks baby, means a lot" he said getting up and making his way to the bedroom door.
"I'll get dressed and meet you at sound check. Can you send Jimmy back here real quick?" I asked.
"Yeah I guess but don't get dressed till he leaves." he said sternly.
"I will don't worry, Jimmy is just a friend babe, I could never do that to you. I don't believe in cheating." I said holding my hands up.
"Good, I love you" he smiled.
"I love you too Matty" I smiled back. Then he left. I sat in the middle of the bed waiting for Jimmy, I knew he would help me.
"Morning Little one" Jimmy said walking into the room.
"Morning JimJam. I need your help." I said.
"What's wrong? What did Matt do? Do I have to bring out the Knife Master skills?" He said.
"No no no Jimmy he did nothing wrong" I said chuckling. "You can sit down you know I don't bite"
"Yeah but you do hit" he laughed sitting down.
"My bad" I laughed
"So whatcha need help with?" He asked.
"I need to find a way to make Matt relax. Everything that happened last night clearly made him a little stressed." I said
"Auden he will deal with it his own way, when he wants your help he will ask for it. I know Matt and he isn't the type to ask for help in those situations, and I've seen that you aren't either. " Jimmy said.
"I'm usually not but lately I've been trying to let him help because I don't want him to feel like I'm trying to push him because that's not what I am doing." I said
"Auden I am have only known you for a short period of time but I can tell you're perfect for Matt. You guys fit so well together. I'm glad to call you one of my friends." Jimmy smiled.
"Thanks Jimmy you just helped me a lot. You better get going or someone is going to come find you" I chuckled.
"You're right, bye little one see you soon" He kissed my head and left the room. I got up and changed getting ready for the concert. When I got a text from Aimee
Wear something cute to the concert lovely <3
I laughed, I knew if I didn't follow her rule she would be pissed.
Matt's POV
Man did last night stress me out. I'm pissed that Valary showed up, she didn't deserve me. Auden did, and tonight I was going to show her that she did. Dylan told me why she was scared, I was glad to know why. Tonight was the night everything was going to happen. I was going to propose to Auden, she could tell I was stress out today, Valary couldn't. Auden was always trying to help me. Valary didn't. Auden didn't care about the money. Valary did. Auden was just so different from Valary and that's what made me love her.
After leaving the back room I walked to the main area in the bus to find everyone there.
"Jimmy, Auden wants to talk to you." I said
"Ok" Jimmy said making his way to the back room and shutting the door.
"Zack, Aimee tonight is that night." I simply said.
They looked at me confused then it settled into Aimee very quickly, she squealed.
"I need her to wear something cute tonight." I said
"I got this." Aimee said pulling out her phone.
"Zack man you gotta help me, I'll be so nervous." I said.
"I got you man." he said.
"What song are you going to play for her?" Brian asked.
"I'm thinking Always by Killswitch Engage. Do you think we can do it?" I said.
"Yeah, I'll make everyone practice, I'll shoot a message to Jesse to ask if we can cover the song tonight." He said.
"Aimee I need you to distract Auden as much as you can tonight." I said.
"Gotcha Matt." she said. Jimmy came back out after 10 minutes.
"Jimmy something big is happening tonight, we need to go to sound check now and Brian will fill you in on the way, I gotta say bye to Auden real quick." I said going towards the back room.
"Babe?" I said walking in the room.
"Yes Matt?" She said turning around to face me, she was only in her underwear.
"I'm going to sound check now, you don't have to worry bout coming to this one. I rearranged for you to spend some time with Aimee before the concert tonight." I smiled my dimple smile.
"Ok babe, but I will be there in time for the concert you know gotta do my job." she chuckled
"I know, but tonight will be awesome." I said making my way to her putting my hands on her hip pulling her closer. Her tits felt great against my chest.
"Every night is an awesome night with you." she said.
"But tonight will be the best." I said leaning in to kiss her. She wrapped her arms around my neck pulling me closer to deepen the kiss.
We parted, "Alright babe I gotta go I'll see you soon. Love you!" I said walking out of the room before I closed the door I heard, "Love you too Matty." Damn she knew how to make me smile big.
Auden's POV
After getting ready I met Aimee out in the main area.
"Damn Auden you look hot." she said,
"Thanks." I said looking down at my black laced sleeved dress and red heels. My hair was done with beach curls and my makeup consisted of a brown smoky eye and eye liner and a nude lipstick.
"Let's go, you're going to help me a little with merch before the concert." she said smiling.
"Can't wait, we can talk" I smiled.
When we made it to the merch booth we got busy right away, I was looking forward to tonight, I was in my home state I am hoping the crowd will be huge.
"So what has been going through that mind of yours?" Aimee asked.
"I'm just worried about Matt" I said
"Why?"
"He just seems stressed out from last night and I don't want him to be." I said looking at her
"There's more to it isn't there?" she said crossing her arms over her chest. I hated that she could see right through me.
"Yes, Aimee I'm scared to lose him. He was my missing puzzle piece. I love him with all I got." I said
"He loves you Auden you're not going to lose him ,trust me Zack and I had a talk like this last night after everything happened." she said.
"Dylan said the same thing maybe I'm just overthinking things." I looked down at the ground.
"Yeah you are babes. It's almost time for the concert let's go." she said grabbing my hand and pulling me away and let the other merch person to back up.
We walked in the back door showing our passes making our way to the dressing room. We walked in and found everyone doing the usual. But Matt was dressed up looking snazzy.
"Matt did you lose a bet to Zack?" I giggled
"Yes I did sadly. Now I gotta dress like him for the concert." he said looking at Zack.
"Yeah poor bastard thought he could out run me to the venue earlier." Zack smiled
"Yo Jesse said we could." Brian said looking at Matt. Matt just nodded.
"5 minutes guy" MB said. Everyone got up and was making their way back stage. Before Matt walked out I pulled him in for a kiss, when we parted I said, "Go rock their world babe"
Watching the guys always amazed me, seeing it from the side of the stage was way better than in the crowd. Aimee and I was dancing around being silly a couple of times we heard Matt laugh. His laugh filled me with joy. They were moving on to the second to last song when I heard the best change, I looked at Jimmy and he was just smiling big.
"Cincinnati how are you fuckers doing tonight?" Matt yelled into the mic. Everyone screamed.
"So tonight we are doing something a little different." He said smiling
"Aimee bring Auden out here." he said looking at us
I looked at Aimee confused she just shrugged her shoulders at me and drug me to the middle of the stage and then went to stand by Zack.
Matt looked at me, "Auden you mean the absolute world to me, these 6 wait no 7 months because today marks 7 months together have been fucking amazing, I've seen you at your worst and best and you've seen me at my worst and best, I can't thank you enough for being there for me when I need it . I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Auden will you marry me?" He got down on one knee pulled out a ring from his pocket and looked at me.
"Yes." was all I could choke out between the tears. He got up slipped the ring on my finger .
"She said yes!" he screamed into the microphone. "The next song is for you baby girl."
Johnny came up behind me and pushed me down in a chair, and Matt started singing one of my favorite songs. When he got to the chorus I couldn't help but smile.
I am with you always,
From the darkness of night until the morning
I am with you always,
From life until death takes me.
When the song ended the crowd went crazy, I jumped into Matt's arms kissing him.
"Get a room lovebirds." Brian said through his mic, I flipped him off.
"We gotta finish this concert don't think the fans would want to see you two make out on stage." he laughed. I parted from Matt.
"I love you so much." I said
"I love you too" he said. I walked back to my spot but came face to face with someone I didn't want to see.
"Dylan, I'm scared to lose him. I'm so scared. He is so perfect and knows how to help me through things. He completes me in ways I didn't know could be completed. Dad loved him. Then his ex just wants to come back and try to ruin it. I know he is going to be hurt when he wakes up, and I will be there for him but I just don't want him to leave. " I said looking at my brother.

Notes
Damn someone always has to ruin a good night for them right? Who do you think she saw?
Thanks everyone that has left comments. I hope you don't get mad with this small cliff hanger! (: I will be updating tomorrow!
Love y'all <3
@Avengedlover
I'm not dropping Cold Little Heart, I have the next 3 chapters written, just not sure when I'll post them. I apologize if I came across harsh. Everyone was coming at me hard and the story has only just started. I was getting blamed for a lot of stuff and I still don't understand why. And a person can only take so much at a time, and if everyone knew exactly how much Jimmy did mean to mean they would understand I'm very sensitive when it comes to him. But that's not something for a comment. Still love you too. <3
