More Specifically, Me Maxine

Maxine’s POV
*Weeks later into Warped Tour*

We have been on Warped Tour for about three weeks and it’s been the best time of my life, right now we are in Virginia so our car should be here. I have still been getting the text messages though, I’ve gotten four so far saying “First”, “Grew”, “Up” and “In” I don’t really worry about them though, plus today I finally am eighteen!
Kevin told us to stay on the bus all day though until he calls us out so that’s just what we’re doing now, I’m currently on my laptop just watching DaveDays videos, he is one of my favorite YouTubers of all time. I wish I could meet him. Oh and Kevin also said that the only person who could leave was Martin so he’s been off doing stuff leaving me, Razor and Matt to find fun on the bus.

My stomach growls when I get up to get a snack but before I can get something Razor gets the call from Kevin to come to the Main Stage so that’s what we do.

Everyone around me makes way when I come around, like something you would see at a movie prom scene where the boy makes his way to find the girl he wanted to dance with.

I see Martin on the stage with an acoustic guitar singing Two is Better than One. Martin what are you doing? By the time he reaches the first verse I reach the front of the mosh pit straight in front of the barrier.
“Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Today in the blink of an eye I'm holding on to something and I do not know why
I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation
For what I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know
Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Today I'm on my own
I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone
I don't know (I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside
Just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think we'll make it out
But you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder, and I said
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder”

Martin sings the whole song before saying a small speech and getting down on one knee.

“Maxine, I finally found someone like you. Before I was learning to fall, I felt so cheated from my ex-girlfriend and was a broken man but she’s a got a boyfriend now and I needed someone to take me home because I learned that the first one was the worst one when it comes to love Now though when I’m with you I feel on top of the world, free and like we made the great escape. You did from leaving your hometown right here in Virginia, its not California but we can make memories and go on holiday. With me, you and your medication nothing will have to be a dance hall drug and we can just go, no red cups involved. I know I lied before and we almost went through a heart, heart heartbreak and it was such a real thing that it was like a shot heard ‘round the word and chemicals collided. Before you I was the the life of the party and I was so stuck in the middle when I kept saying “Hey you” and “I told you so.” I was thrown up against the wall in past relationships and every New Years and it was five minutes to midnight I just wondered if someone could kill me in a record shop and shoot me because I felt so stupid. Every time I look into your eyes it’s like the first time when I met you, I fell heels over head and wanted to take over this crazy world with you, be your everything because your love is contagious and I want you to be my heroine and I’ll be your heroine. If all mine and your ex’s could see us now and look at us being so encased in a love drunk sickness then that would be perfect. So Maxine Note Gaskarth I’m thinking two is better than one and you are the only way that I know how to feel, so will you be my thunder and be my wife? I love you so much!” He says, making me cry but laugh a bit because of using all of his songs into that speech.
The security picks me up from behind the barricade and puts me on stage to meet with Martin.

“Yes. Yes. Yes. A ten million times Martin yes!” I cry into his chest.

“I love you thunder.”

“You and your puns over your own songs.” I say, tears still flowing.

“You love them babe.” He says, pulling away from the hug and talking into the microphone.

“She said yes! Now I’d like to dedicate this song to all those people who lost someone close to them!” My fiance says before starting On Top of The World, knowing it’s meant for me and my dad.

The song ends and Martin thanks the ground and telling the crowd Boys Like Girls will be releasing their new album sometime late fall.

We head back to the bus and Martin and I snuggle for the rest of the day just watching Disney movies and laughing about nothing.
