AUSTIN'S POV
Shit. ... What have I gotten myself into !!???
"Wait here I'll be right back, orrrrrr. ..... do you want to come inside..." she said shyly.
"Wait you still want that private show don't you," I asked teasingly and wiggled my brows, "Okay you. ..but.."
" Look, I was just going to simply offer you something to eat, but not anymore, " she said firmly.
I laughed at this but I just followed her into her front yard.
The place hadn't change a bit. Her mother loves to garden so everywhere was pretty much adorned with a lot of flower bushes. On the patio still had the bird feeder Skylar and I made when we were ten. This place brought back so much memories which I would never forget, yet she did.
You know how painful it was watching her grow up and not even remember me, she was a piece of me....
FUCK that she was the most important piece of me.
That sounded extremely corny .
Then that Luke came into the picture. When she's with him I can't think straight, just the fact that he had something that was mine from day one ticked me off.
What hurts even more is the way she smiles and laughs when he's around. .. I was supposed to be the one.
"I'm not sure if my mom's home, " she said breaking me out of my thoughts.
I just shrugged in response, breathing a subtle sigh of relief.
FOLKS, BULLET DODGED, REPEAT, BULLET HAS BEEN DODGED.
.
Even inside of her house was the same. The same cream walls, same kitchen and the same stairs. The only thing that changed was Skylar...
"There's some snacks and drinks in the fridge, help yourself I'll be right back, " she said as she ran up the stairs.
I wasn't really hungry but still found myself going through her fridge. I hear shuffle of footsteps... she sure moves quick.
" Austin, " not the voice I was expecting.
As I turned around it was the last person I wanted to see or even know I was here. She looked freaked out, I mean I am too.
It's been years....
FOLKS, BULLET NOT DOGED, REPEAT, BULLET HAS NOT BEEN DODGED.
"Hi, Mrs. Brooks," I managed myself to say.....
"What are you doing here? !?" She sounded shocked and happy with a little-known concern in her voice.
"Skylar's giving me a ride home," I said awkwardly.
This is finally happening, I never thought about what Mrs. Brooks and I would talk about when we re-united.
"Austin we've talked about this before, you can't keep..."
I cut her off. " It's just a drop Mrs. B don't worry, but me and Skylar kinda got paired up for most of our assignments," I didn't know how to say it.... I didn't know how she would take it.
After everthing happened our parents thought it would be best if we don't see each other anymore, for Skylar's good, but only so much could have been done because we went to the same school.
" Austin, I'm fully aware that you know what could happen, I'm sure you care for her but I don't want anything happening to her and I'm sure you don't as well," she said in a stern voice. Mrs. Brooks was always like a second mother to me, when my parents were off on business trips she would look after me, but in time all that changed. I would only catch a few glances of her when I see her at the mall or anywhere really.
"Yeah, trust me I know , you have nothing to be worried about, have a little faith Mrs. B. " was all I could say since I myself was still hoping for some. She was about to say something but then Skylar appeared.
" Austin I'm read..... orrrr, Hi mom, this is Austin, Austin, this is my mom," she chirped as she tried to introduce us.
Awkward..
I was about to repy but shockingly cut off by a warm chuckle.
Mrs.Brooks smiled lightly at me,"It's finally nice to meet you Austin,Skylar doesn't stop complaining about you."
My mouth widened slightly but I caught on soon after,"Nice to meet you Mrs.Brooks..ignore everything Skylar has ever told you about me, she's a terrible liar anyway."
Mrs.Brooks laughed again,"I know, she got that from her father, the man can't lie to save his life."
I chuckled and Skylar snickered but then realised we were bashing her father and her,"HEY!" she proteseted.
Her mother stuck her tongue out at Skylar, while I winked at her.
'Would you like to stay for dinner Austin?"Mrs. Brooks asked.
Sklar's eyes widened,"No! He has to go home, right?"
I was about to agree but then watched Mrs.Brooks who nodded her head reassuringly, gesturing it was okay to stay a while .
''I'd love to stay Mrs.B" I smirked.
She winked and left the room but not before saying,"Great, we're having pasta and baked chicken."
Skylar watched me with her blue eyes almost popping out of her eyeball sockets.
"So princess, about that room tour?'' I grinned.
"Come on,"She muttered.
