Stay Strong for Me (Austin Mahone Love Story / Fan Fiction)

Chapter 10: You're perfect, Austin.

Chapter 10: You're perfect, Austin~

            I woke up the next morning, determined to follow my mother's advice. I took a quick shower and decided to curl my hair in bouncy, loose curls. I straightened my side bangs and let them hang in front of my face. I applied light make up not only to my face, but to my scars as well, and picked out a short, flowing white sundress, similar to the one my mother wore on my 11th birthday. I know it might sound stupid, but I feel like dressing like this would have her there with me somehow, helping me. Today, I needed all the help I could get.

I was just about to leave my house when I realized I forgot something. I dug through my dressers, hoping I still kept it all these years. I let out a sigh of relief when I felt the cool metal in my hand. I took the bracelet Austin had given me on my eleventh birthday and clipped in on my wrist. Now I was ready to go.

With my mom’s advice in mind, I ran across the street to Austin's house. Once I reached the door, I lifted my hand to knock, but quickly pulled away, hesitating. Was I ready to do this? Is this the right thing to do? Would this ruin everything?

Follow your heart, Courtney. Fight for what you want.

I swallowed hard, preparing myself.

A few minutes later, I was greeted by beautiful big hazel eyes, and the smile I fell for since day one.

Oh god, help me.

***Austin's P.O.V.****

God, she is so beautiful...

                I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear when I saw her, remembering last night. There’s something about Courtney that made me drawn to her, like I could never stay away. I don’t know what it is; I’ve never felt this way before. When she basically told me she liked me yesterday, I couldn't help myself. I had to kiss her. I needed to kiss her.

             But it’s different with her. When I’m around her, all I want to do is make her smile and laugh. I’d do anything to see that smile. Normally, when I’m with a girl, I’m usually – no always, trying to hook up with her. Not Courtney, all I want to do is make her happy. This is all new to me and I’m not sure how to approach this.

              Whenever I'm around her, I feel nervous. I’m always scared I’m going to say the wrong thing. I’m scared I will unintentionally hurt her. The last thing I want to do is hurt Courtney. She means so much to me.

               Courtney makes me feel like a better person, like I need to change my ways. I will change for her. I’d do anything for her. Now that I know she likes me back, there’s nothing standing in my way. I am willing to give up anything and everything to be with Courtney.

I will make her mine. Courtney will be my girlfriend.

"Wow, you look gorgeous," he smiled.

"Thanks," I blushed, hoping my makeup would cover it up.

I knew it didn’t when he laughed and said, "Come in."
