I took what Daniel said to me into consideration, Even though I only met the girl once. She seemed nice but from what daniel told me she's more than what meets the eye. And the fact that Austin enables these behaviors was very telling of how their relationship is. It's obvious he has some feelings for her still, and if he treats daniel like that over her 

Where does that put me?

----

I threw on a fleece jacket and headed towards the door. I need some time to think, My mind Is always a mess I have to sort through but I can't do that in this house."Y/N" A soft voice came from behind me

"Austin?" I could barely see him due to how dark the house was. His tall frame was the only thing I could see.

"Where are you going princess? It's so late" His voice was heavy with worry and distress. I felt bad for him I've never seen him be so timid. 

"I'm just going out....I need time to think Austin" His heavy steps creaked the floorboards. He came right in front of me, practically leaning over me. I finally got a good look at him. His hair was disheveled. his eyes and cheeks tinted red. His eyes covered with concern.

"where are you gonna go? when will you be back"

"I'm going to the beach I need to be alone right now"  he placed my hand and his "I don't know when I'll be back"

"It's too late princess anything could happen to you" why is he so concerned with what I'm doing? is it because of everything with daniel? Is he really sheltering me like a little kid because he can't be a decent fucking boyfriend?

"Austin I am leaving" 

"please princess just come to bed"

"No Austin I told you I need time ALONE away from all the bullshit"

I open the door turning to look back at him, He stood there holding himself as if he was about to cry. he turned away from me, letting out a sniffle.

"fine goodnight y/n" he walked down the hall back into the darkness.

I closed the door, took a deep breath, and headed towards the beach.

I walked barefoot through the cool sand, the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore automatically calmed me. The wind blew hard against me but I kept walking. I continue to walk along the shore. My thoughts running wild. 

Why was Austin so discombobulated earlier? Why was he acting like that as if he needed me? did he need me? what did he need me for? what got him so upset? is it because of the fighting? Did daniel say something? do something that hurt him that much?

--

The further I walked the less I recognized my surroundings. All there is are big rocks, gagged cliffs, and a beach.  I could be in a whole different part of town and do I care? not really to be completely honest. But who knows how long it's gonna take for me to get back...

Something just moved. Something in the shadows just moved. Nothing is there your imaging things y/n. You need to get back home as soon as possible-

There it was standing at the shore. A tall dark figure, only an outline. The soft moonlight could only light up the area so much. There they stood looking out into the water. Almost as if They came to do the same thing as me.

Think without distractions.

"Y/N PLEASE"

Austin found me 

"Y/N PLEASE COME BACK IM SORRY" I stand in shock he has barely anything on. Just some pajama pants and socks. the temperatures weren't low but the hard winds made it feel like it was in the low 40's.

"AUSTIN GO HOME IT'S FUCKING COLD YOU BARELY HAVE ANYTHING ON" he continued walking towards me. I kept telling him to go home, he wouldn't respond, he just kept walking. He didn't say anything else until he got over to me. I'm sure he was freezing the way he was waddling over rubbing his arms to create some type of warmth.

"I'm not going home without you, I can't sleep without you" I stared up at him, His soft but tough expression showed that he wasn't leaving without me. I turned back around looking for the tall dark figure. But was met with empty space. It was gone. 

Where did they go?

"Can we go home now?" 

"yes"

Three hours earlier

This day has the worse day I've had in years

Daniel and I have been fighting for the last week, Y/n has been ignoring me, My Job has gotten more stressful, and on top of that, the urges are coming back. It's because of all the shit I've been dealing with lately. I get stressed and all I want to do is forget, forget all my problems. 

That's what my therapist told me, I was only 22. I had told him about my little 'problems' He told me that I do it because I don't know how to deal with my issues on my own so I do other things to forget, to not feel anything.

Genevive was one of the main things that caused me stress. Our relationship was so toxic, we fought every other day. We'd get incredibly angry if we say the other with the other gender, doesn't matter what they were doing with them. And all of the convincing and manipulation not even including the "Upperclass rich people lifestyle" and All the horrible shit I did that would probably get me arrested if I told anyone.

Genevive also introduced me to a lot of fucked up shit. Even though I was a rebellious kid, I never experimented with anything. The school I went to showed us Drug PSA's every Friday before the weekend just in case we "got any ideas" by the time I met Gen I was terrified of it. Until she got me into one of the biggest clubs in NYC.

Flashback  5 years ago

 At the time we had only been dating for 5 months. For her to only be a year older she was so much mature than me. She knew so much more about life and how to live to the fullest. She had invited me to this club for a night out on the town. That was her thing partying, living it up, Being awake from late nights to early mornings, and doing all over the next day. This night was no different.

"I wanna show you something Aussy I feel like your gonna enjoy it" 

"What is it gen?"

"You'll see when we get there"

The driver pulled up in front of an all-black building lined with red neon lights. 'MISFITS' (the name of the club) Also lined with neon red lights. The line outside probably went down the block, but just walking up to the velvet rope the bouncer immediately let us in. Which wasn't received well from the long line of people. The club itself was very dark except for the flashing neon lights. The room itself was filled to the brim with sweaty bodies and loud music. 

We spent at least 20 minutes at the bar before a few of her party friends came over and introduced themselves. It was about 5 girls and 4 guys. They all seemed to already be on....something. Me being unfamiliar with drugs didn't see the signs. Gen and her friends soon led me upstairs where my life would take a turn I wasn't expecting.

"Just try it... it's not that bad " I stared at the older male who was persistent on me taking the small, pale pill.

"I don't really thi-" He then slammed me against the wall, putting both his large hands on each side of my head. He leaned in close, his heavy breathing and the thoughts of what would come next sent shivers down my spine.

"come on cutie I'm sure you've done worst" His deep green eyes met mine, His stare became less harsh and more lust-filled.

"Unless you're as about angelic as you look"
