College Years (Sequel to Theres Always A Catch Austin Mahone FanFic)

Chapter 1

** Elis POV**

Its been a week since me and Austin have been living together. Also, a week of us being back together.

We filled each other in on what had gone on in our lives thru those 5 months that we were apart. He produced a new album that he won a bunch of awards for. He dated other girls and he says none of them compared to me. I think none of them compared because they must have been better but he pushes me off the bed when I say that so I keep it to myself. He did a couple duets with celebrities as big as Taylor Swift, Carly Rae Jepsen, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Flo Rida, Ed Sheeran, a bunch of new people. He was homeschooled since he wasnt able to go to school and graduated at top of his class. In his class of one, IM SO PROUD. (Note my sarcasm, please.) No matter how idiotic he can be, I love him. And Ill never forget the first conversation we had together.

-Flashback-

"How- Why- What- Huh- ELI!!!!!" He picked me up and spun me in circles. Still stuttering.

"How am I here? Why am I here? What am I doing here? Huh? Is that what you were going to say?" I laughed at him as he set me down.

"Well, yeah."

"Well Im here because I got a scholarship thru my academic decathalon. Im here for an education, idiot. Im here because its been my dream school for life. Why are you here? You have a career. Singing."

"Singings a dream. Its been a dream. Yeah, its reality now. But I have to have some sort of  back up plan. I gave up when I first was a singer but then I got a reminder of what could happen if I lost everything I thought Id never lose." While he said all of this I had turned back around to finsih setting up my music.

"What was that?" I asked while setting up my microphone next to my computer.

"Our break up.." His voice trailed off and I stopped in my tracks. I prepared myself to say something but was cut off. "No, let me talk, please." I didnt turn around but I nodded my head. "You were my everything and I was an idiot. I thought that just because you were being so stubborn that you would never love me again. I told myself everyday that even thought my tears were coming when I thought about you that we were not meant to be. But then I would realized we were. Your stubborn and I give in to everything. You dont put up with all the crap people bring on you and I get tore down. You are one of the smartest people I know and Im ... not.  Yes, we are two TOTALLY different people. But Eli, our matches cancel out our differences. I was blinded and I still hate myself for it. EVen thought your standing in front of me. I lost one of the most beautiful girls i have ever met. You sing, joke around, eat way more than a girl should, dance like there is NO tomorrow, you have the prettiest eyes, and you arent perfect." I tensed up my body when he said Im not perfect. "But I love that. I dont WANT perfect. Its too over rated. I dont WANT a girl that doesnt eat. I dont WANT a girl that doesnt put up a fight. Because theyre NORMAL. And you know I hate normal. I dont want normal."

I had a tiny flashback of the day he left lying in a hospital bed crying my eyes out with only the reign of thunder in a dark silent room to tell me that it wasnt just a dream. In a cracking tone I said, "Then what do you want?" I turned around to see the face of a boy I thought I loved looking in to my eyes.

He held his guitar in his hand and sang the cheesiest song he could play at the moment. Though it fit.

"I dont want another pretty face. I dont want just anyone to hold. I dont want my love to go to waste.." He stopped and took off his guitar. He stepped towards me and grabbed my waist. A tear streamed down his face, causing mine to come downa s well. Remembering how that was the same vision I saw beffore we said goodbye. And after he sang that EXACT song. I put my finger up to his lips before he could finish the lyric. I did it for him.

"I want you and your beautiful soul.." His eyes pierced in mine like fire through a piece of paper. I still got the butterflies when he touched me and as he leaned in to kiss me, I moved. "Your turn to listen to me.."

He put his hands up in surrender. And gestured for me to say what I had to say.

"I heard everything before you left. Your prayer. About the promise ring." His eyes went from his suitcase to mine in a split second and they were wide. "No. Dont say anything yet. You wanna know why I cried for these last 5 months every night? Because I realized, I would have accepted it. Because I was the dumb one. I let my head decide for me and never listened to my heart. But YOU were my heart. I never listened to what you had to say. And you should not be sorry for the mistake I stupidly made. I realized too late that you WERE the one for me. But it didnt help for you to leave me with no explanation. I stayed up every night since then asking whats wrong with me. I didnt date anyone. I didnt go out other than for school and I gave up music. I gave up the reason that I met you. I sit in my room and play for Lucy who just got in to the Academy of Performing Arts for Kids. I let myself die inside because you were my everything. So if anyones sorry, its me. Sorry for being stubborn, idiotic, dumb, naive, and all in all oblivious to the fact that I loved you. But Austin, I left my past on the graduation stage. I left my depression outside of this whole city. I let go. And I gave up on us. Maybe we were meant to be friends. You made too much of an impression on me. I cant take the pain anymore. I want to be single and explore new things. Im happy for you and your music. Im happy we are rooming together. But it will take time before I can just give you my heart again. Last time I did, you broke it. And when you did, It hurt like a mofo. And your right Im not perfect. I have TOO MANY FLAWS. You are perfect. You have everything. Opposites dont always attract, Austin."

I turned back around to face towards my bed and walked towards it. I turned back around when I heard Austin going thru his suitcase. He was throwing everything in it to find something in it.

"Austin, what the hell are you doing!? Your making a huge mess! And EW! You just threw a pair of boxers on my bed and they have Soingebob on them! Seriously!?!"

I shut up when he put something behind his back "Im not letting you get away this easily again. You are not leaving me again. Because even though I am a complete and utter dumb ass for leaving you, Im not too much of an idiot to know your MY girl. Your MINE. I want to be with you forever. Forever and a day. Ill die before I allow myself to let you walk out of my life again because tehse 5 months were HELL. Your my rock. Your my glue. Your my god damn Patrick if you want me to sum it down or you. Point is, your MINE! Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine. I dont share things that are mine. I dont break things that are mine. And I dont give up MY things that easily. SO Eli, please.. give me one chance. The chance of promising you I WILL love you forever and I WILL be yours. Becasue I love you. And I promise not to break this promise." He pulled his hand out from behind his back to reveal a black box that contained to beautiful rings. They matched the infinity sign on the necklace he had given me for my birthday 7 months ago in July.

I picked one up and looked closer at the engravings on the sign.

"Eli, I promise until I Do."

"One chance......Lover boy." I winked at him and he took the ring and placed it on my finger, I did the same with his.

And then we kissed.

-End Of Flashback.-.

I still havent taken it off and he hasnt taken his off either.

With Christmas next week, we bought matching ugly Reindeer Christmas sweaters and we got matching red Supras and black skinny jeans and he HAD to buy me a snapback like his. So we could walk around campus matching. His idea. Not mine.

He got a Tumblr account last week for all his fans and he has not stopped complaining about how tumblr couple are adorable and we should be more like them. Um, no. I made fun of him with a picture I saw on Twitter that tagged me to show Austin.

'Hoes be like TUMBLR COUPLE' and it was a picture of a girl holding up a cardboard cut out of Austin that is so much taller than he really is. He got so annoyed he didnt talk to me the whole day. Of course he gave in when I fake cried.

Oh, that was today! He is now out buying us a bunch of my favorite movies, chocolate, ice cream, pizza, midol, our mail, and starbucks.

Millions of people. And I fell in love with him.

Luck was on my side.
