Above is Finn, by the way.

I couldn't move. My body went stiff and unmoving. The crowd went crazy. Everyone was screaming, and taking photos, and I could also hear some faint giggling.

The photographers were taking photos, and I was still frozen in place.

Once Josh backed up, he saw my face of pure shock, and I kept my mouth open, and jaw slack.

"Uh, Doubt, everybody!" Tyler said into the microphone, and the crowd cheered.

"I, uh, um, o-okay." I mumbled, and laughed hysterically. I fell from laughing so hard, and the crowd gasped, including the two boys.

"I'M OKAY!" I yelled and the crowd laughed, and I stood up, getting help from Josh. I hugged Josh, and I didn't let go for about 30 seconds until my phone started to buzz in a very uncomfortable spot.

I released the the hug and I took my phone out of my pocket and looked at my lock screen. Filled with notifications, so many things were being tweeted at me and Josh, and being tagged in Instagram photos.

WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK I DON'T SHIP IT SHE ISN'T EVEN THAT PRETTY'

'@haydensdoubt @joshuadun

oh my god I ship it cute cute cute cute '

Attached to the tweet was a photo I couldn't see, but it was definitely  a photos of Josh and I kissing. I saved it, smiling a little.

I turned my phone on Do Not Disturb, and smiled. I giggled and hugged Josh. He took his phone off on the platform, and started typing something, quite quickly.

"Check your phone." He whispered, and I checked it, a bit confused, and feeling a bit oblivious.

Obviously, Josh liked me. I obviously liked Josh back, so no problem there. We were on tour together and we couldn't exactly not see each other.

'@joshuadun:

@haydensdoubt hello again. hope you had a good break from us. pretty much the whole clique knows we just kissed. only means one thing.'

"Do you, uh, want to go out, or something like that? You obviously don't have to say yes, but–" I cut off Josh's rambling with a kiss, signalling a 'yes'.

The crowd screamed and went crazy. "Congratulations Josh, you aren't a single man anymore. Give Josh and Doubt a round of applause!" Tyler started to clap, and the Atlanta clique started to clap.

Josh did a motion with his hands to say stop, and the crowd didn't stop. "Stop, actually stop." Tyler said into the mic and the crowd stopped and laughed, and I laughed along.

"Sorry about this delay, guys, we have to get back to the concert, and Hayden," Tyler looked at me with an playfully intense glare, "don't hurt yourself again."

I laughed and went backstage, and did a small happy dance. I heard the transition from HeavyDirtySoul to Stressed Out start. My mom would be so proud. I called my dad, frantically wanting to talk to him, even though it's only been a few hours.

"Hello, dad?" I called into the phone when my dad picked up.

"Hi, Hayden. What's wrong?" My dad, Frank Rothwell, was a busy bee. Very work orientated, just like me.

"Nothing's wrong. It's much the opposite, actually." I was smiling really big, and trying not to laugh, so it sounded like a hollow honking sound coming from my stomach and throat.

"What has made you so happy, you have to make that laughing sound, Haze? Did you finally surprise them?" He asked, laughing a little bit. His laugh sounds a bit like my repressed one, but louder.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe I did surprise them, and one of them asked me out." I squealed at the end, and my dad started laughing.

Then the laughing stopped. "What about Finn? Weren't you going to get back with him after he graduates this year?" My dad asked me, sounding a bit concerned. My smiled wiped off my face, and it went stone hard.

"No. He's still with Cassidy, dad. It's been 4 years with him and Cassidy. I don't think they'll break up." I sighed, rubbing my forehead.

"You and Finn were together for 5 years. I don't think 4 beats 5, Haze." He laughed at the end, and I smiled a bit.

"I guess so. He just always posts on FaceBook and Instagram how much they love each other. I don't have a chance. But, maybe he'll keep a beat, and repeat everyday for the last 4 years and stay with Cassidy." I frowned, and shook my head, but I smiled inside at my reference.

"If you truly love one of the band members your touring with, then you and I shouldn't worry about Finn." He sighed, and I nodded, and smiled.

"Thanks, dad. I'm over Finn. Josh likes me, I like Josh back. I think we'll be alright." I smiled, and said my goodbyes, and Guns for Hands started to play, and I 'wooped', even though they couldn't hear me.
