you're my downfall

[autumnhynes]

"Don’t be such a brat." Autumn teased looking over at him. "You know my feelings about used shoes.." she made a face. "I’ll keep looking around to see if there’s anything else." she shrugged continuing to look through the rack. "Have fun over there." she stuck her tongue out at him jokingly.

[carson-williams1]

"A brat? I'm appalled Autumn!" he said, his hand clutching his chest like he was wounded. Carson cackled at her face over the shoes. "Alright, I will!" Carson made his way to the men's rack, looking through the cloths there.

[autumnhynes]

"You can always count on me." Autumn laughed softly. "Finding anything." She asked moving over to the next rack looking through it. "Not finding cute vintage anything." She said with a shrug. "Which is a shame." She mumbled to herself as she kept looking through the rack.

[carson-williams1]

Carson laughed and shook his head. "That sucks." he said. "I'm going to go look. You have fun here, not finding anything. What about the shoe rack?" he asked, and pointed to the wall in the back.

[autumnhynes]

"You have such a manly scream." Autumn glanced over at him as she walked over to the other side. "Uh, groping yourself in public is illegal I believe.." she paused in thought. "Or at least frowned upon." she laughed as she continued. "I won’t let anyone take your innocents away." she teased. "That’s my job." she laughed looking through the rack.

[carson-williams1]

"I know" Carson laughed, pretending to throw his non-existing hair over his shoulder. "I wouldn't be groping myself Autumn." he said, pretending to pout. "Thank you, Autumn." he pretended to fake cry. "I always knew that I could count on you."

[autumnhynes]

Autumn nodded glancing over at Carson with a slight smirk. “I don’t want you to be kidnapped,” she paused looking through a rack. “I’d never forgive myself.” she continued with a pout glancing at him. “Plus, your fans would love the opportunity for you to be alone.” she teased. 

[carson-williams1]

"They are going to take advantage of me." he cried. "Whatever, I'm going to go look, if you hear girly screaming, it's totally not me being groped or anything like that." he laughed and headed off.

[autumnhynes]

"Um his.. sorry." Autumn said looking down at her feet. She looked up at him and laughed nudging him. "On your side of course." she shook her head. "Oh yeah? You’re hiding my ex from freshmen year? He was a douche." she laughed walking inside. "We can somewhat split up.." she paused looking around. "Don’t want you to get kidnapped." she teased walking over to the women’s side. 

[carson-williams1]

"Damnit." he sighed, and shook his head. "Oh really?" he asked, perking up and grinning. "Yep, he's just laying there." he laughed. "Alright." he nodded. Carson was about to walk off when her comment stopped him. "Seriously?" he asked, laughing and shaking his head and then heading for the mens.

[autumnhynes]

"Could I watch? I mean I’m sure it’d be hot." Autumn teased with a wink. "But, not something we have to worry about.." she paused. ".. unless you’re hiding someone from me." Autumn joked before getting out. She walked to the front of the car meeting up with him again. Autumn followed him to the front door running a hand through her hair looking around quickly before walking inside with him.

[carson-williams1]

Carson laughed. "On my side or his?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows at her. "Yea, remember that one guy you dated your freshmen year? I'm hiding him. He's strapped underneath the tour bus. Getting inside the shop made him smile, something about second-hand things was so cool, that someone had owned them before, who all had stories and troubles and triumphs, it made him happy. Not to say he didn't enjoy brand new things, because he did. "Wanna split up? Or would you prefer me to stay with you?"

"I’m very bad ass." Autumn joked laughing looking over at him. "I think so, it’d be pretty interesting." she shrugged slightly with a smile. "Plus if they can’t handle you then they aren’t worth my time." she noted. "That’s true.. you can’t be with anyone that you actually like if they can’t handle dealing with your managers and whatnot." she nodded in agreement. She looked out the window again looking around knowing the fans would realize that all they did was drive down the street. 

[carson-williams1]

"Of course you are." he laughed. "Probably, I'd have to rough him up a bit of course." Carson pursed his lips. "That's a good point." he smiled at her. "Yea, it just kinda sucks." he shrugged and pulled the keys out, hoping out and waiting for her before heading towards the first door. 

[autumnhynes]

"I'm bad ass. I can scare someone." She laughed softly. "I'm sure you will do that." Autumn smiled. "I'd probably enjoy it if you did that." She nodded. "I can understand that, they're just trying to keep you safe and whatnot." She nodded looking at him.

[carson-williams1]

"Oh yea, so bad ass, so scary." he laughed and shook his head. "You'd enjoy me interrogating whoever you end up with?" Carson asked, an eyebrow raised in question. He pursed his lips and nodded. "It's a pain in the ass though." he told her honestly, spotting the area where he'd seen a row of several thrift shops earlier, he pulled into the spot. 

[autumnhynes]

"Oh yeah definitely." She teased. "Maybe a dark room with one hanging light between us that flickers every couple seconds." She joked. Autumn glanced over at him and smiled. "You deserve the best either way." She placed a hand on his arm. "But management does that..? Or are you joking?" She asked.

[carson-williams1]

"Oh yes, that would work well. We can beat your knuckles up a bit too so they try and get on your good side." Carson smiled. "Thanks Aut, you do too. I'mma sit whoever you end up with, and have a nice long talk with him." he joked. "Nah, it's just standard, confidentiality and all that." 

[autumnhynes]

Autumn smiled looking over at him. "Well of course." She teased. "I need to make sure girls are up to par to date you." She joked with a smile.

[carson-williams1]

"Oh really? Are you going to sit them down for interviews like Managment does?" he asked, an eyebrow raised as he pulled out of the parking lot and down towards the vintage stores.

[autumnhynes]

Autumn crinkled her nose at his comment. "I can't believe someone did that." She shook her head. "I try to avoid magazines and stuff like that." She noted. She followed him around the car and smiled at him as he opened the door for her. "Thanks." She smiled getting into it putting the seatbelt on.

[carson-williams1]

He laugh, "I know." Carson pursed his lips. "Why? You don't like reading my perfect idea of a girlfriend?" he laughed. He didn't know how many time he'd read pre-teen magazines like J-14 that management had given some sort of shit responde. "Course." he smiled and close the door, going to his side and climbing in, turning the car on. 

[autumnhynes]

Autumn glanced over at him after the pictures were taken and smiled softly. She waited for him to give them one last hug. She used her right hand to place her hand on his arm softly. “Now we’re going to have dating rumors everywhere.” she joked as they walked back to the car. 

[carson-williams1]

He laughed and shook his head. "Eh, there was once the mistake that I was dating Thalia." he grimaced, his oldest sister had once come into town, and they'd gone out for dinner, sick of room service, of course there was other people who had gone with them, but some stupid magazine had then commented on his newest "fling". He walked around, opening her door for her. 

[autumnhynes]

Autumn didn’t really know what to do while Carson was taking pictures with fans. She ran a hand through her hair before crossing her arms loosely. Autumn glanced up as she heard her name. “Yeah I’m Autumn..” she replied moving closer to Carson. Autumn looked up at him and nodded wrapping an arm around his waist. “I’m fine with it.” she smiled before looking back at the fan. 

[carson-williams1]

He smiled, because she could've said no, she was not cool with it, but she didn't, and he was happy now. Holding her left hand up in a peace sign, grinning. After the pictures were taken he gave them all a final hug and then waved by, his arm still wrapped around Autumn, he made his way back to the car. 

[autumnhynes]

Autumn looked around at the fans getting closer to them. No matter how many times they were going to be mobbed on tour, she still wouldn't get used to it. Autumn didn't understand how he could be even close to used to it. She held onto his hand looking over at him smiling slightly. She looked back at the group letting go of his hand as he did as someone launched onto him. Autumn moved over to the other side of him holding onto his arm softly.

[carson-williams1]

He grinned and rubbed the girls back, "Hi love." he laughed and shook his head, this was insane. He let go of her, and glanced back to Autumn making sure she was alright. Nodding in content, he quickly took pictures with each of them and then hugged each of them. "Heyy, do you mind if we get a picture of both of you, your Autumn right?" the boldest one asked. Smiling, he shook his head, stepping back, and wrapped his arms around her shoulder again, dropping down to whisper. "Are you okay with that?" 

[autumnhynes]

Autumn tried hiding her face the best she could as they walked towards the car. She glanced up at him as she heard someone call his name. Autumn was hoping it was just a fan trying to get his attention. “Just a fan right?” She asked holding onto his shirt.

[carson-williams1]

His eyes scanned and then fell to a group of three girls grinning at him. He nodded, and dropped his arm from around her shoulders and slipped his fingers through her's. "Hello." he greeted as they got close them. "Oh my god hi." one of them called, presumably the one who had called his name. He let go of Autumn's hand as the smallest one of the group, launched herself around his middle. It used to surprise him, but he was used to it, a grin spread across his face. 

[autumnhynes]

"Only to you I am." Autumn said softly moving closer to him. She wrapped an arm around him staying close to him. Autumn shrugged slightly looking up at him. "No.. but we can’t stay in here in the rest of our lives." she laughed softly. 

[carson-williams1]

He laughed and nodded and then pushed, walking with his head down as his bodyguard walked quickly with them. "Almost there...." he called as they kept getting closer. "Carson!" someone called and his head, by mistake snapped up.
