Chasing hearts

~Chapter Seventeen~ Austin's POV

I waited outside sleeping with sirens tour bus then the door opened and Vanessa stepped out " Hey sorry to keep you waiting the guys didn't want me to go" she said while giggling " Oh its no problem so Im guessing the guys really like you" I say while smiling "Yeah I guess so" she replies while walking beside me "Starbucks is just across the street I hope you don't mind walking" I ask looking over at her " Oh no I don't mind Im use to walking" shes says with a little smile " Really whys that?" I ask " I don't have a license or a car so I walk to a lot of places" she says while opening the door to starbucks I follow in behind her "So what are you gonna get" she asks looking over at me "Oh just a regular coffee probably" I say looking back at her we had ordered our coffees and sat down at a table I couldn't help but want to know Vanessa's life story like where she was from and if she traveled here alone so I had to ask "So tell me about yourself" I say while looking up at her " Well Im an open book what would you like to know" she says with a small smile "Well how old are you" I ask " Im twenty" she replys "And your from Texas right?" I ask "Well I was born and raised in Carolina I moved to Houston Texas when I was 18 and now Im here"she says while taking a sip off her coffee " By yourself?" I ask curiously " Yeah" she says looking down I kept wondering why she was alone "Well wheres your family?" I asked looking up her face had become saddened as if I struck a nerve " Are you all right" I ask concerned "Uh yeah" she replies looking up "I dont have much of a family anymore my father passed away when I was eleven and my mother abandoned me and my brother when I was thirteen" she says looking down I felt horrible for even asking " Im so sorry Vanny I didn't know" I say almost above a whisper "Its okay it feels good to talk about it honestly" she replies her eyes looked sorrowful but she still managed a smile "What happened to your brother if you don't mind me asking?" I kinda regretted asking but I had to know "He got into a lot of drugs it took his life" she said, shes had such a hard life it killed me inside "Im so sorry... is that why you moved to Texas?" I asked hoping to change the subject a little "Yeah I also left cause I had to get away from a crazy ex" she says while rolling her eyes "Crazy?" I say curiously "Yeah he was jerk a bit abusive so I saved up my money and ran away" she replies she didn't deserve to live that kinda life at all "Damn its good you left you'v really had a rough life haven't you?" I say looking up at her "Just a little" she says sarcastically "I'm glad you never gave up tho your a strong person" I say while looking at her she smiled in return we sat there for a few more minutes while sipping our coffees "So when are you going back to Texas" I ask curiously "I dont know honestly I might stay down here" she said while looking out the window "Why?" I say concerned "Well its complicated" she says "What do you mean" I asked curiously "I got evicted from my apartment in Texas and I got fired at work all in the same day" she says looking down then back up at me " Im sorry I feel like I'm giving you an ear full" she says apologetically " No don't be sorry its always good to talk to someone ya know" I say reassuringly "Thats true I feel like I could talk to you about anything really your like a long lost brother" she says smiling a little "And your like my long lost sister" I reply smiling in return we sat there till we finished our coffee talking about anything and everything I really got to know her and I really cared for her and thats when I got an idea "So we should be getting back" I said while standing up she nodded and followed me out the door. I pulled out my phone and sent kellin a text "Hey bro we need to talk"
