Promises Were Meant To Be Broken

Chapter 19

Austin's Point of View
I pulled her closer, craving more and more of her.

One hand holding onto her waist and the other cupping her face

I pushed Ari into her house and pinned her against the wall, not breaking the kiss

My tongue glided against her lower lip for entrance which she hesitantly accepted

I went down to her jawline, leaving light kisses. Then down to her neck.

Her fingers running through my hair, lightly tugging as soft moans escape from her mouth

If only she was Becky..

"A-Austin" she moaned

A smirk formed on my lips. Her legs wrapped around my waist as my hands supported her

My lips travelling back up to her luscious lips

I carried her up to her room and gently lied her down. 

Her lips once again reconnecting with mine

This feels so wrong yet feels so right

My hands went up her shirt, about to slide them off

.. until Ari pulled back and stopped me

Bring my eyes to hers, I gave her a confused look

"Austin, we can't do this" she whispered out of breath

"why not?" I asked and kissed her again

But this time, she pushed away

"Because I'm Becky's best friend and you're the love of her life. It's wrong what we're doing"

I sighed

"I'm sorry Austin but I know what you're doing. You did this with Taylor.. Mickey told me everything.." she looked at me with sadness in her eyes

A struck of guilt went through me as flashbacks came back

How I lost my virginity to Taylor because I was angry

The day Becky almost got kidnapped.

How it was my fault Becky got sent to the hospital and was in a coma

How I almost lost her for good..

Without realizing, my cheeks started getting wet

Tears formed in my eyes and slowly escaped

Remembering how much pain I  caused her

"Why do I always mess up?" I thought out loud

Arms started hugging me

"I'm sorry Austin. I shouldn't have--"

"It's not your fault Ari. It's mine. I kissed you. I always mess up and hurt Becky when that's the last thing I want to do"

"But I-"

I lift up my finger up to her lips so she could stop

"Stop. You're the one that pulled away and said it was a mistake. You wanted to tell her but I didnt let you. This isn't your fault"

I heard her sigh and that's when her phone vibrated 

Her facial expression looked shocked as she read it and quickly replied

She put her phone a side and looked at me

"Well, are you going to talk to her?"

Silence filled the air for a couple of seconds until I spoke up

"I don't know. I don't think she'll even want to look at me."

"Maybe you should go talk to her. Straighten things out and tell her it's a mistake-"

"But it wasn't a mistake!" I raised my voice and got up

She looked at me with widen eyes

"W-What do you mean it wasn't a mistake?"

Letting out a loud groan, I leaned my back against the wall and slid down

Covering my face in my hands before looking up at her

"I-I kissed you because I wanted to" I admitted and continued "I don't know what came over me but I wanted to. It seemed right at the moment. You were standing right in front of me and memories from the past came up. How I use to have feelings for you... everything came back.." I tailed off

"But after you pushed me away, that's when I came back to reality"

She looked down with tears in her eyes

I stood up and sat next to her, using my thumb to wipe away the tears

But she slapped my hand away

"What's wro-"

"Just g-go Austin!" 

I was taken back by her anger

She stood up and ran her fingers through your hair

"You're really good at doing this Austin" she stated

"Doing what?"

She groaned in frustration 

"Making girls fall for you! Do you realize how many girls fell for you?"

I still dont know what she's talking about

"Me, Taylor, and Becky. Becky told me how much she loved you but it was also the same time I did. I didn't move to the U.K. with my dad because I wanted to. I had a choice to stay but I didn't because I knew you and Becky should be with each other but NO went with Taylor because you were too stupid to realize how she feels for you"

My breath became short with every word she said

Her eyes fell on me with anger

"oh, but then you called her a jealous bitch when she tried to warn your about her and made her go into a coma. And just yesterday, she was ready to commit suicide by jumping off a damn cliff BECAUSE OF YOU! The moment you were going to make things right, you mess up. Now you -"

"Why does this matter to you if it's none of your damn business anyway?!" I yelled

She just stared at me and shook her head

"You don't realize what you're doing. You still have feeling for Becky, you hurt her, you came to me, we made out, you talk about how you use to feel about me, and...." she trailed off

"and made me have feeling for you again..." she mumbled

Now I know why she's acting this way

"Ari I-"

"Just go Austin. Just go with Becky and try to make this right with her. I don't want to be the girl you come to whenever you have a broken heart. Im not your rebound."

I took a step closer to her but she moved back

"GO! Just go fucking call Taylor if you want to know where she is"

Call Taylor?

I glanced at her and nodded to her command and walked out

Call Taylor if I want to know where Becky is? How would she know?

"I don't have anything to lose so.." I said out loud and took out my phone

I dialled her number and called

After a few rings, she still didnt answer

I tried again but she ignored it

And again

Finally after one last call, she answered

"What do you want now, Austin?"

I cleared my throat and spoke

"Ari told me to call you. Do you know where Becky is?"

"Why do you want to know? Didn't you hurt her enough?"

I switched my phone to my left hand and ear and opened my car door

"Why would you ask that question? and since when did you care?"

"Austin, she's tired of getting hurt. I think it's better if-"

"Austin?"

A different voice appeared on the other line

"Austin are you there?"

"B-Becky?"

"Im here"

"Becky what are you do-"

"Shut up Austin and just listen to me"

I stayed silent and unbelieving how Ari knew where Becky was

"Austin..........
