The Boy Next Door - A Austin Mahone fanfic. - COMPLETED

The Fight - Part 2

Taylor POV

I take a deep breath in. 'Use to. I adored you actually. You know before you decided to be a complete asshole to me for no apparent reason. Everyone could see that except you. Then you decide to make my life a living hell.' I start. 'Do you know my mom hated seeing me like that? Her last days were spent telling me everything would be okay, that it was a phase and you would grow out of it. Those last days of hers were when you decided to find me before school and had me bawling before school had even started. I couldn't hide anywhere because y'all would find me. I skipped school to goto the hospital with my mom. On the seventh day of you guys bullying me, I skipped school to goto the hospital. I was already freaking out enough because I overheard the doctor telling my dad that my mom had a day or two at most.' I pause to wipe tears away. 'She died before I got there. I was devastated.'

I move closer. 'I knew your mom told you because I saw you at the memorial.'

Austin POV

Taylor's face goes hard. 'But did that stop you? No. You stepped it up. I'm amazed I didn't kill myself by the end of 7th grade. You hurt me so much that everyday while tears were streaming down my face, all I could think was 'I want to die, I hate my life, I hate myself, I hate everything. Heaven is so much better than here. I could be with my mom.' I almost went through with it. I had a bottle of pills in my hand, just waiting for the right time. I had a letter written to everyone. My dad, Bailee, my siblings, you, Riley and Lindy. Do you know what stopped me? Bailee. I called her everyday and told her everything that had happened that day but I hadn't called her that day and she wanted to see why I hadn't called her and to see if everything was alright. I was standing there listening to leave a message, I don't remember what she said but she changed my mind.' She pauses and takes a deep breathe. 'If if wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here. Thanks to Riley, Lindy and you I never would have gotten the motivation to lose weight so thank you Austin. I use to be the girl everyone despised now I'm the girl everyone envies.' She laughs and starts to walk away. 'Payback is a bitch. Y'all deserve everything you get. Karma decided she wants me to do the honors.'

'What is that suppose to mean?' I ask.

'You'll see.' She says sweetly. 'Night Austin.'

I reach for her wrist to stop her. 'But Taylor,'

'But nothing. Let me go.'

'Even though I did all that you can't look past it and see that I'm the same boy from elementary just grown up?'

She flashes me a sad smile and I can tell she's trying not to cry. 'More like wont. Don't you get it? I don't like you as more than a friend. Goodnight Austin.'

I watch her swim away, silently cursing my middle school self.

'I may have sounded harsh but it's the truth. The cold, hard truth. Don't beat yourself up over it. That part of our lives is over for the better.'

But it's not okay. I beat myself up a little bit more every day for it; even more since you came back.

Taylor POV

'Omg, WHAT did I miss last night?' Bailee shouts.

I yawn and groggily sit up. 'No school dad.'

'Taylor Sophia Kingsley, you have some major explaining to do. Why is Austin in my bed? And what are you wearing?'

I look down to find my bra showing. 'Long story, I'll tell you later. Goodnight.'

'No tell me now. What is he doing in my bed?'

'What does it look like? He's sleeping like I was. Bye now.'

'This is not over Taylor Sophia Kingsley. I will find out the truth and when I do man you better hope to god I don't-' She pauses and looks at Austin. 'He's really cute asleep. He looks like an angel. He could be your guardian angel Tay.'

I chuck a pillow at her. 'Alright, I'm leaving. But it's true.'

Bailee runs out before I can throw something harder at her.

Okay, so this is a kinda short chapter but I promise I will make the next ones longer. I'm rushing to write and post this before I goto bed so pardon any mistakes. Hope you enjoy! Vote, comment, share! Thanks!
