Theres Always a Catch. (Austin Mahone One DirectionFAN FIC)

Controversy

**** Austin POV ****

"Then why are we together!!"

I know keeping this from her was terrible, but I cant just blurt it out. Why cant she just trust me!

"I dont know why are we!?" I wanted so badly to take back what I had just said.

"You know what Austin, I dont remember much about you. I dont even remember our first kiss. Worst part is, I dont remember how our relationship was before this ALL happened! But if I was as mad at you because you couldnt tell me the truth like you said you did, tell me, why did i forgive you? Why cant you just be my boyfriend and tell me things I need to know. If you can tell my mom, you can tell me! ITS NOT FAIR ANYMORE. You guys have been keeping secrets since I first woke up and Im tired of it. You both promised, no more secrets. So knock it off! Just tell me!"

Tears streamed down her face. I didnt know if it was because of now or the whole day in general.

"Eli, please. Just trust me. Its nothing to worry about. I just want you to get some rest, please. Ill explain everything in the morning."

"Dont bother. If we are as in love as you said we were, why dont I feel it? I dont feel in love just yet. Im not in love. I cant be in love. Because Ive seen what love is like and if you can not tell me one thing, then what exactly do you think love is?!"

How do I tell her that the label wants us to announce that her, so called best friend Stacy's mom, killed her dad? Or that I have to give her a promise ring on stage? I express things in songs, not words!

"Eli, listen to me. Give this time. Me and you. I promise to make you feel what I feel. As for the secrets, theyre not the easiest things to say. Theyre terrible secrets and after everything you've endured today, you wont be able to handle it. Ill tell you tomorrow morning. I promise, just please, get some sleep."

I wiped away her tears and once she was done I held her in my arms. "Austin, I cant wait. I cant have a secret hidden from me. Not anymore. I just need to trust you. And you need to trust me."

"Lets focus on getting you back. Your moms probably having a fit."

She nodded her head and sat back in her seat. We drove the five minutes back to the hospital. Silent and you could feel the tension between us.

The girl that was always smiling and independent was now broken and hurt and I had only contributed to the problem. I couldn't help but hate myself for all of this.

Her helping to kill Elisa was never part of the plan. I planned on telling her everything once we got back but she can't handle all this is in one night. Plus, Stacy will be in the room next to her healing from the gun shot she took earlier.

Ill tell her when they're both up for talking. I will have to have Stacy to tell her the part about her mom. Ill tell her the rest. I can't and I wont see the look on her face when she knows what has happened with her father.

We got.up to the floor me and Eli had to be on and were greeted by Lucy.

"ELI!!! AUSI!" That's what she called me so she could make up some silly song for me and Eli. "I'm cancer free!!!"

I picked up Lucy and hugged her tight. Eli joined in on the hug and I knew she was extactic. Lucy let one arm off my shoulder and pulled in Eli. Eli grabbed my shoulder Lucy let go of and I put one hand on her waist. I lifted my head up from the hug and saw Jen coming towards us with the biggest smile and a couple tears appearing.

Just as she opened her mouth to say something, I noticed Harry sitting in the same position I had been in a week ago. Hands in his hair and sitting on the floor awaiting an answer. I observed as the doctor came up to him. He stood up as tthe doctor told him the news.

He dropped to the floor and balled his eyes out. I knew something was wrong because it took a lot to make this boy cry.

"Hey Haz," I walked toward him. He simply acknowledged me and put his head in the same position as before. "You alright?"

"I'm fine.." He was struggling to catch his breath and was sniffling. "Stacy, on the other hand, isn't.." his voice trailed off and I felt my heart beat grow faster.

"What's happened?"

"She left you this .."

"Well where is she.."

"She's... gone." He burst into another fit of tears and I put his head on my chest. I didn't care how gay this looks.

I grasped the note I had in my hand and read the letter that was addressed: To Eli.

She knew she would die.
