Sharpen Your Teeth and Bite as Hard as You Want

After the introductions were made, PTV got on their bus, and my band went back in the van. I hopped on OM&M's bus with Joel so we could spend time together. I spent the next 3 hours in a bunk with Joel, talking about what we had been up to. We barely got to talk over the last three weeks because I was on tour and Joel was busy recording his EP.

"Wanna hear the new tracks?" he asked me, while pulling out his laptop.

I nodded my head excitedly and took the headphones, placing them on my head. Joel pulled up the demos and pushed play. It was called My Little Earthquake.

Meet me at the top of the world tonight,
So we can watch it fall
Like we don't care at all.

You're just what I need, a natural disaster.
I want you to move me,
I want you to break me.

You're my little earthquake.
Oh, you make the earth shake,
And even when I can't be reached,
Oh, you break your way to me.
My little earthquake,
Oh, you take the pain away,
And even when I can't be reached,
Oh, you break your way to me,
My little earthquake.

Tell me all your secrets, while the world divides.
This is the last call, so let's feel it all.
Stronger than fiction, love is hard to fake.
Take my hand and show me all the things I can't see.

You're my little earthquake.
Oh, you make the earth shake,
And even when I can't be reached,
Oh, you break your way to me.
My little earthquake,
Oh, you take the pain away,
And even when I can't be reached,
Oh, you break your way to me,
My little earthquake.

If the ground gives way beneath our feet, will the destruction set us free?
I hear the sound I need.
Your voice completes, what’s unfinished inside of me.

You're my little earthquake.
Oh, you make the earth shake,
And even when I can't be reached,
Oh, you break your way to me.
My little earthquake,
Oh, you take the pain away,
And even when I can't be reached,
Oh, you break your way to me,
My little earthquake.

When the song was over I was bobbing my head and had a huge smile on my face.

"That was amazing." I said looking at him.

He had a cheesy grin on his face as he put his laptop away.

"I wrote it with you in mind." he said while taking my hand.

"Really?!?" I asked getting excited.

The only person that's ever written a song for me was my ex...and it was about how he wanted to kill me because I broke his heart. I didn't go anywhere alone for a while after that.

Joel nodded his head at me then looked down at the blanket that covered us. I put my hand on the back of his head and pulled him closer, kissing him softly.

"You're amazing." I said when I pulled away.

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me down on top of him in the bunk. I laid my head on his chest.

"We're almost to the venue!" Austin called from outside the bunks.

Joel groaned and tightened his grip around my middle.

"Ready to play your first show with your favorite band?" he asked me.

"I was born ready." I said looking at him.

He smiled and me then rolled me over so I was underneath, taking me by surprise. He leaned down and put his nose on mine.

"You're so cute." he said.

I giggled and kissed him again.

I love my life.
