6months later:

Hazel pov:

The intense floral smells of birds of paradise, orchids, and ginger filled the air.
The subtle smell of coconuts and bananas eased my muscles remembering the familiar taste buds.
As the scarlet sky was spread out across the sky like crimson blood smeared smoothly over a large canvass, as the golden sun slowly sank behind the epic landscape. Glimmers of light reflected off the still water, sending slithers of rose coloured shafts of light through the forest below.
Eventually the dimming sun was tucked away behind the rolling hills which rolled on endlessly.
The clouds floated by in soft cotton like puffs of pink and the sky became darker.
As I looked down at the beach shore I saw a light humid mist lingers in the air, hovering over the foamy blue waves that licks the moist gray sand and slaps at the seashore rocks.
Kids play in the cold water, getting knocked back, pulled under, or stay on the sand, laying down and pressing angels. A salty breeze weaves all around,.lacing in the hair of girls tanning and casing sand castles to tumble over, transform into a pile of grainy rock.
I wish we could stay here longer but we can't.
A month away from the funeral and the stares and whispers at prom soon fade away as the tropical island breeze of Barbados takes over my body easing the tense muscles.
I take up my surrounding and finally feel free and relieved.
"This is what we needed"
I say as I look over to see Austin laying in bed relaxing and actually enjoying himself since Memas passing.

"It definitely is no school. no drama no worries ...just nothing but peace"
He added with a smile on he's face as his gazes into my direction.
"I love you Austin so much and I want you to be okay when we go back home to not drink away your sorrows like you did before I know it's hard but well get thr-" I responded but was interrupted

"Don't finish that sentence and I suggest you be quiet unless you want to get punished again...you don't know what it's like so just shut the fuck up"
He retorted through gritting teeth while standing up.

"You don't know anything... I just used you for what I wanted, don't you get it? Colby was right, you we're just a high school fling" He whispered just inches away from my ear as he walked away with a beer in his right hand.

"You don't mean that I know you don't...your just upset ...YOU CANT JUST SWITCH OFF LIKE THAT AUSTIN" I screamed as I collapse on my knees as serval droplets of tears drops tickled down my cheek.

"You mean nothing to me"
He uttered as he swung the empty beer bottle towards me but missing and hitting the wall behind my head before he walked up to me and started  punching and kicking me.
My vision blurred as my hearing became fuzzy.
This was a daily routine since the drinking started to increase.
It all happened after Memas funeral it only started out as one or two drinks then there was the parties and coming back late with strangers.
He got kicked out of his part time job in the mall because of his absents was reducing as he would stay home due to the hangovers and the late night partying.
Then the verbal abuse started kicking in when I wouldn't give him money to buy beer or let him go out partying.
The one night stands got me the most.
He would come back home or even to the hotel that we're in now bringing back some girls from the club and undressing and kissing them in front of me I would always have to listen to them right beside me as tears caressed my cheek dripping down on my pillow as I looked the other away trying to get the noises out of my head.
Just three months ago he started to get aggressive and violent he would find anything to punish me with one night it could be fists and him kicking me then the next would be throwing bottles at me and hitting me with the belt when I wouldn't obey his orders.
I know his hurting but I can't live with him no more just a month ago I threatened to leave him but he begged and pleaded for me to stay.
He said he would change pfft how many times have I heard that.
As soon as I came back into his arms for threatening to leave he become more violent.
It was better to keep my mouth shut.
He was smart especially when it comes to punishments he always hits me where know one could ever see my bruised skin. I failed him. I failed Mema and I failed myself.
Mema last wishes was for me to take care of him but look at me I'm letting him drink and abuse me.
This is not how it's meant to be.
Eventually when he became tired I crawled towards the bathroom to clean myself up.

"If you ever speak out of line with me again they'll be trouble"

This was always his exact words to me.
But tonight I'm planning to leave him ...for good.

Is hazel finally going to leave Austin?
Will Austin sober up to win his princess back?
Who knows ...until the next chapter
