The Princess of San Antonio

Chapter 25

I sat there shocked. They killed her?

She was in pain and was struggling everyday so, I wasn't as upset, I knew my parents would be though, so that upset me more.

I let out silent tears as Austin held my hands.

"I know I'm supposed to be comforting you right now, but it will only get worse. This isn't the end. I don't know who's next, but it's coming soon, but I'm gonna be here for you." Austin said.

"You're staying the night." I than began walking upstairs.

I slipped on my sleep shirt and knee high socks.

Austin was in a white tee and basketball shorts. The boys had left and Austin ran upstairs and picked me up bridal style.

"You're so beautiful."

AUSTIN'S P.O.V.

I carried her to the bedroom and laid her down on her pillow.

I laid down beside her

She's not going to think I'm serious. I could at least try.

We laid there, my arm under her neck, staring into each others eyes.

"Lace, will you marry me?" I bit my lips, what would her response be?

She burst out into loud laughing and then she noticed I wasn't even slightly giggling.

"I was serious. I know how bad this is gonna get and if something happens I would like to know that you would have married me."

LACEY'S P.O.V.

I started to think about what he said:

"I know how bad this is gonna get."

I honestly did not believe it would be this bad.

I kissed him, letting him know yes and felt a smile on his face.

The next day we decided to go the park.

We really needed to wind down and a day in nature sounded perfect.

We stayed all day and just ate some sandwiches.

We watched the sunset and then we had to leave.

The car ride was silent, but we enjoyed it.

He turned to me "I'm leaving."

"Why are you leaving me? I asked

"No, I'm leaving town."

"Why?"

3 Months Later:

"Lacey, could you set the table? my mother asked.

I was wearing a burgundy dress and some ankle boots. I didn't really dress up for Thanksgiving anymore, honestly I don't dress up for anything ever since Austin went missing. Tomorrow will be two months. Yes, he did tell me he was leaving, no I never got a date or explanation why. I got a call from his mother on a Friday at 7:00am, she said he was gone and I needed to come over now, of course I went and when I arrived his window was busted like 3 shirts were missing and a couple of other things including his phone. I went over to Alex's to see if he was there and he had no idea he was even leaving or gone. I called Austin and yes, he picked up, here was our conversation:

"Austin?"

He let out a sigh like he was exhausted of me and didn't want to talk.

"Please come back, I love you. I need you even if you don't feel the same. I just need to know you are ok..I need you to be around. Come back!" I begged.

"You will hear from me"

and I said I love you and he hung up.

A week later I found a note:

WE are not ok <3

And then I found another note:

I will see you when it's time to give thanks..make sure our moms cook some mean turkey. ;)

I showed Alex and he told me he got a note too, one saying Austin wanted Alex to take care of me.

So it was Alex and I all the time and we are dating now, no not exclusively, I think about Austin all the time I love him, just dates like skating and dinner.

Now, I believe you are all caught up.

Austin's mom is here for thanksgiving.

Guest List:

-My Mom (dad is away with work)

-Michelle

-Alex

-Me

-Austin?

"Alex is here!" Michelle yelled.

I grabbed Alex and we went and sat outside.

"Look." Austin's car was parked out front and I was consumed with excitement.

"Is he in there? Have you checked?!" I exclaimed.

"I wanted to wait on you"

We grabbed hands and ran to the car.

We swung open the door and sitting there was a note taped to the GPS saying "Follow Me" and the location pulled up was the location where we ran into The Suits. I cried, but only because of disappointment. I wanted to see him so badly and I couldn't.

It was time for lunch and we would have to go in the morning, so we hid his car and went in.

"This taste great!" Alex said...it was awful and he is a suck-up.
