Becky's POV:

Austin. Austin is the only thing on my mind as I dial his number yet again.

"Austin?"

*silence*

"Okay. If you're there, I just want you to know that I didn't tell you I went to New York because I love you. I didn't want to see the look on your face when I told you I was leaving and I knew how much I was going to miss you."

*silence*

I wait one second, two seconds, five seconds, a minute.

"And your Dad breaking up with me?"

It feels so good to hear his voice on the other end that I almost cry.

"What?"

"You didn't know?"

"What?" I repeat. "He broke up with you for me? Austin, I'm sorry! I didn't know, baby!"

"Yeah..." I hear his voice crack as he sniffs. "And he must've blocked me 'cause I've been trying to phone you to tell you this; Camila kissed me, and I'm proud to say that I pushed her away. I didn't feel anything at all!"

I feel his happiness radiating through the phone.

"Are you mad, baby girl?"

"Of course not!"

"Hang on, cutie pie. I'll be there soon," Austin says excitedly.

"What?" I exclaim.

"Starbucks at the airport. Now."

Austin's POV:

"Surprise, baby girl!" I yell as Becky runs in and wraps her arms around my waist.

I hold her tight, my grip solid. Our hearts beat in sync, and the butterflies in my stomach take flight. She is warm, and she smells sweet, like home, like Becky.

I never want to let go.

"Austin?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you ever gonna let go of me?"

I grin widely. "Never."

She sighs against my chest and I feel her soft, warm breath.

"I love you, Austin."

I kiss her in response.

Becky's POV:

"You ready?" Austin asks as he pull up in front of the art school.

"Yes, I'm so excited!" I smile. He grabs my hand as we slow to a stop in front of the school.

"You got this okay?" He looks into my eyes for what seems like an eternity, his warm gaze melting my heart.

I press my lips to his. Warmth spreads across my face as I feel him smile. I let a small grin creep across the corners of my mouth.

I lay my head on his shoulder for the ten minutes we have left to spare.

The rain pours down on the glass in a warm pattern and I feel safer than I have in my entire life.

Austin's POV:

I watch Becky go, waiting until she's entered the school before I pull out of the driveway and leave.

Good luck, Becks.

Becky's POV:

"Sing this piece of music, please," my vocal coach instructs. "This is to get your voice warmed up, then we can start something in your style."

Obligingly, I breeze through the warm ups.

"Mrs.-"

"Call me Gemma, Becky." Gemma smiles at me through her gorgeous green eyes.

"All right. Gemma. I just wanted you to know that my style is more hip-hop and rapping."

"Of course."

She hands me some music. "Want U Back, by Cher Loyd," which is one of my favourite songs and artists.

Smiling, I begin to sing it.

Louie's POV:

"I don't give a sh-, no one else can have ya, I want you back, w-want you back, w-want you, want you back."

There's a beautiful voice coming from Gemma's room. It captures my attention. I peer inside, and a gorgeous girl stands there singing.

Woah.

Becky's POV:

"How could you?"

"It was for the best, Becky," my Dad sighs.

The rain pours heavily on the front window and I no longer feel safe without Austin.

"I love him."

"You don't understand what love is, Becky."

I let the hurt sink in.

"And you don't know shit about me. I love Austin. You can't tell me what I don't know."

As soon as he pulls up to my apartment, I storm inside without giving a second glance back.
