Chapter 9: The confidence to follow my heart and fight for what I want~
***Austin’s P.O.V.***
I ran up to her, grabbed her by the waist and crashed my lips to hers. In that moment, it was the only way to show her how much she meant to me. It was the only way to show her that she shouldn’t be scared of falling for me. I want her to be able to trust me and not be scared that I’ll hurt her.
I must sound like a total hypocrite right now, considering my past history with girls. I’ll be honest, I was a jerk. I used to hook up with random girls, not care about their feelings, and dump them the next day. I’m not going to lie, I thought that was ok. I thought that’s what every guy did and it was no big deal. I was a total asshole.
But now, since Courtney and I started being friends again, I haven’t so much as looked at another girl. I wasn’t sure why at first, but then I realized, it because I actually like Courtney. I have ever since we were little. Now, all those feelings from when we were younger are coming back. I’m starting to go back to being the old me, the real me, the real Austin.
When I decided to choose being popular over my friends, I thought I lost my chances of ever being her. But now, she basically admitted she likes me too, but she’s just scared. I have to show her that she shouldn’t be scared. I would never intentionally hurt her. Now that were on good terms and I know she likes me back, now it’s my chance.
I could tell she was taken back at first when I kissed her, which is understandable. But then, suddenly, she draped her arms around my neck and kissed me back. My hands slid down to the lowest point of her back as our lips moved in sync.
***Courtney’s P.O.V.***
My best friend, who I have had feelings for since I was a kid, is kissing me. Finally fulfilling my silent desires, I wrapped my arms around his neck, depending the kiss. His arms slid to the lowest point of my back, pulling me closer, closing the space between us. Our lips moved in sync and it was as if nothing else mattered. It was just me and him. I don’t know how to describe it other than it felt right, like were meant to be together. This is where I was supposed to me, in Austin's arms.
A feeling I wasn't too familiar with filled my body, happiness. For the first time in two years, I felt happy. Austin made me happy.
That's when I felt it. You can say I'm insane, you can say it’s cheesy, but I felt it. I felt those cliché sparks. I've never felt this way about a kiss before, ever. But something told me it wasn't just about the kiss; it was the boy I was kissing. It was Austin. Austin made me feel this way. I've never felt this way about someone before. I never wanted this moment to end. I wish I could stay like this forever, kissing Austin until I took my last breathe.
Suddenly, I didn’t feel scared any more. Any ounce of fear of getting hurt by Austin completely left my body with just one kiss. Something told me Austin wouldn’t hurt me, that I was safe with him.
My thoughts and Austin and I were interrupted by Zach swinging the door open and saying, "Hey Austin, your TV is being a retard and - "
