Chapter 25: He Caused The Misery

CHAPTER 25: He Caused The Misery

A figure stood before me. It was tall, about 5'10. There were actually two figures. But the other one was a bit smaller.

They took a step closer to where I was standing, and into the light, away from the shadows. That's when I saw their faces.

It was Greyson. And the person beside him was a girl. This girl was unfamiliar to me. I haven't seen her anywhere before. She had her arm looped around Greyson's and I couldn't help the jealousy burn inside of me.

"Greyson?" I called out. He looked at me. Once his eyes met mine, I shivered. Those weren't the same eyes I used to get lost in a few years ago. He looked different. Kind of, soul-less.

The girl beside him tugged on his sleeve, obviously demanding his attention. "Baby, who is that girl?" she asked, with a disgustingly innocent voice. "Just someone who broke my heart. Lauren, let's go."

With that, that girl and Greyson disappeared. I processed his words in my mind. Broke his heart? I never broke his heart. He broke mine. With that text of his. I don't get this.

"GEEZ ALLISON GRACE KNIGHT WAKE UP!" A girl screamed in my ear. I opened my eyes, only to see a very worried Katie sitting on top of me.

"SHE'S AWAKE!" she yelled across the room. Aunt Mel and Austin suddenly ran towards my bed. Wait what? I'm in a hospital?

"What happened?" I asked.

"You seriously don't remember?" Katie said. I shook my head. "YOU WERE ALMOST KILLED, ALI. AND YOU DON'T REMEMBER?" she yelled.

That's when I realized. That guy who attempted to rob me, sliced me across my cheek and elbowed me in the stomach. I ran my fingers through my cheek and saw that it was all bandaged up.

"Wait," I said, "Who brought me here? I remember hearing a guy's voice then I passed out." Austin and Katie looked at each other.

"What? Is there something you should tell me?" I raised a brow, and crossed my arms around my chest. They sighed.

"The truth is.." Katie started, "..the one who brought you here was well, umm..." "SPIT IT OUT, WOMAN!" I yelled. "Geez fine, it was Greyson." she coughed out.

I widened my eyes, just hearing his name. "WHAT. HOW. WHY."

"Well, actually he was with a girl." Katie said. Austin stayed silent the whole time. Wait a minute. A girl? The one from my dream? "Why did he leave?" I asked, sadly.

"He said that he doesn't want to see you, and you probably didn't want to see him either." What the hell? I looked at Austin. He avoided eye contact with me. What's his problem?

"Can I talk to you in private?" Austin asked, still keeping a steady gaze on the floor.

Katie and Aunt Mel nodded at me and hurriedly stepped out of the room so that we could talk. I wonder what there's to talk about anyway.

"I am really very sorry, Ali! I didn't mean to do it! Well at first, I did. But I regretted it the minute when I did it, promise! But then I couldn't do anything about it so I just let it be. I let my emotions take over me. It was all a mistake! Please don't hate me! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me, Ali! I'll do your homework for 5 years, just please. I'm really so..." he began ranting on so fast, that I had no idea where this conversation was going at.

"What the hell are you talking about, Mahone?" I kind of snapped.

A tear slid down his cheek and guilt took over me. What did I do? "Austin, I'm sorryy! I didn't mean for it to come out like that. Stop crying please, I'm sorry." I flustered, patting his back.

He continued weeping softly as I comforted him. We stayed like that for about 2 minutes. Why is he even crying? Is it my fault?

He then decide to break the silence. "I caused all those years of misery you experienced..." he said in between tears. "You didn't, Austin. You were always by my side. You were always there for me, through all the ups and downs. No one will ever get a bestfriend as awesome as you are. Because I have the only one." I replied and gave him a warm smile.

At that moment, he gently pressed his lips onto mine and quickly pulled away before I could. That took me by surprise, I couldn't even move.

"I've always wanted to do that." he admitted.

"I didn-" He put his finger over my lips.

"Let me go first. I've always liked you, Allison. Always have and always will. I don't see you the same way you see me. I know you see me as only your best bud or bro thing, but just give me a chance to confess. Ever since we were kids, I had this crush on you. You made me weak to the knees, Ali. And you still do. Remember when you got bullied by those group of guys and they called you ugly? That made me furious. I beat them up. I disagree with them, okay? You're the most beautiful human being to ever walk on this planet. Then I got expelled and then I moved and never had a chance to see you again. All those years that I was away from you pained me. Your voice, your smile, your image, your scent. They kept replaying in my mind like a broken record. I couldn't get you out of my mind. I promised myself that I would make a move on you once we meet again..." he confessed.

"I don-" He cut me off again.

"I'm not finished. I finally got the chance to come back to Oklahoma again and the only thing I thought of doing when I first got here was rushing over to your house and seeing you. You were even more beautiful than when I last saw you. You were stunning. You used to cry and used to lack confidence, but when I saw you again, you changed. It made me fall for you harder. We talked a while at your place and you kept texting. Greyson. You were texting him and kept giggling at his replies. Never have I met this guy until a few hours ago, but he made me furious with jealousy. Though you probably never noticed. I always tried to get your attention but you didn't bother to look at me the same way you look at him. It hurts me a lot. But then I did something horrible and I regret it with all my heart. Just please don't hate me. Two years ago, I came over and we were in your room. You spent loads of time in the bathroom and I was bored. Your phone was on your pillow and I decided to snoop. Since I'm your bestfriend, I know the password to your phone. So I checked your messages and it was filled with Greyson's text messages. I got way too jealous again and typed him a mean text. I said, 'Greyson? I'm sorry but I have someone else now. Please never text or call me ever again because I just don't like you anymore bye'. I sent it and regretted it after. But I knew I couldn't do anything because it was already sent. He replied almost immediately. I didn't open the message. I just deleted Sent Items and put your phone back. I'm really sorry."

My jaw dropped and I just stared at him, not wanting to believe what he just said. Those two years of hell I experienced was because of him and his jealousy.

I clenched my fists. You wouldn't believe how angry I am now.

I was probably turning red because of anger. "What is wrong with you, Austin! Because of what you did, you troubled everyone, especially me! What kind of friend are you?!?" I snapped.

"Ali, I said I'm sorry..." he mumbled, sadly. "Don't call me Ali. And do you think that sorry can fix everything you caused?!?" I yelled and jumped out of bed.

I ran out of the room. "Katie, do you have any idea where Greyson is?"
