"Alan, wait!" He called after me as I sprinted towards my house.

I knew that he was faster than me so I used all of my energy just to get to my house a few streets away. The only reason that he hadn't caught me yet was because he had to grab some shoes before he could chase after me. I was feeling so many different emotions at once and my brain didn't know how to deal with them. Anger, sadness, confusion and betrayal were just a few of them.

After what felt like forever, I finally got to my house. With shaky hands, I grabbed the key out of my pocket and unlocked the door. Austin was close but I really couldn't face him right now. I ran inside and just as I was about to shut the door, Austin was there blocking it.

"Alan, please just let me explain!" He begged with his foot still in the door.

"No! Just leave me alone!" I growled and furiously tried to shut the door on him. But it was no use...he was too strong.

"I'm not going anywhere until you let me explain!" He demanded and pushed on the door. I stumbled back slightly leaving the door wide open. He quickly came in before shutting it behind him. I was furious now...he can't just do that!

"You can't just storm into my house!" I shouted, "Especially when I told you to leave me alone!"

"I just want to explain," He tried to reason with me; "It's not what you think!"

"I think it's pretty self-explanatory... "you're still the best fuck I've ever had"...what other meaning could there possibly be behind it?!" I was fuming. I never got angry but I knew that I was just putting up a front because of how hurt I was.

He groaned, "I know how bad it looks-."

"How do you still even have his number?" I interrupted him.

"Well, if you let me explain then I'll tell you," He told me.

I folded my arms across my chest as a lump rose in my throat, "No...it doesn't matter. I don't want to hear it."

"Ash-," he took a step towards me.

"Just-just get out..." I shook my head.

His face contorted in pain, "No...please-."

"Leave!" I demanded but my voice was cracking. I wiped the tears away furiously.

"No," He refused. What the fuck?

"Get out!" I demanded again but he just took a step towards me.

For some reason I was glued to my spot as he grabbed my face in his hands and kissed me. It took me longer than it should have to realise that he was just trying to win me over. My eyes fluttered open and I pushed his chest as hard as I could.

"You can't just do that!" I yelled, "You can't just kiss me to try and make everything better."

"I know..." he gulped guiltily, "But I had to get you to calm down."

"Well, I am far from calm!" My bottom lip trembled and I hated that I was about to cry. But I couldn't just cover up how hurt I was with anger anymore. I sighed in defeat and wiped away my tears. I felt a big pair of arms wrap around me and this time I didn't fight it. I just grabbed hold of his t-shirt and tucked my face into his chest.

"Now will you let me explain?" he whispered.

I peeked up at him, "It better be a good fucking explanation."

"It will be," He promised.

"Because it looks really bad..." I said.

"I know it does," He said sincerely.
