Corey:
I woke up early from the doorbell ringing. I brushed my hair and went down to open it. It was just the mailman.

"May I help you?" I ask.

"Oh, sorry. I might be at the wrong house." He went down the porch.

"Wait!" He turned around.

"May I know who you're looking for?"

"I'm looking for Jane. Jane Gonzales?" He said showing  mail. 

"She lives across from here." I say showing him to the right.

"Thank you!" I closed the door and I went to the kitchen and got some food since I can't go back to sleep.

"Hey, Corey! Why up so early?" Piper came in the kitchen.

"I got the door." I said with a sleepy tone.

"Who was it?" She asks.

"Mailman." I say shrugging.

"Oh." She took a seat on the counter island.

Austin:
"Hey, Aussy!" A familiar voice greets me as I walk down the stairs.

"Courtney!!" I gave her a hug.

"What are you doing here?" I say as we pulled apart.

"I came here for you." Those words gave me back memories. Childhood memories.

"Yes!" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" I take a seat on the brown leather chair in the living room.

"Remember that day, before I left for London?" She asks. I remember everything. I asked her to be my girlfriend. But she didn't answer because of her mom.

"Court, I can't."

Her smile dropped. "Why not?"

"I have a girlfriend." I feel different. I feel guilt. Why?

"Aussy, you promised." She started to tear up.

"I forgot." I pulled her into a hug.

She pulls away, "You said, and I quote, 'I will NEVER find another girl. I will wait for you.' What happened to that, Aussy?" She says crying.

"I'm sorry."

"Who is she?" She asks.

"What?"

"What's her name?" She says a bit angry.

"Piper." I say as she covers her face and wipes away the tears.

She sniffles. "If she makes you happy. I'll leave it that way." And as she said that Piper walked in.

"Hey, babe." She smiles, "wrong timing?" I nod.

"You must be Piper." Courtney says biting her lower lip. I know she's trying to hold back tears.

"I am." Piper replies.

"Okay, bye Aussy. I will leave your relationship alone. If she makes you happy, then I'll just go back to London." Courtney says getting up and leaving the house. I started to tear up. Why?

"Hey, Austin. What's wrong?" Piper asks as she rubs my back.

"I'm what's wrong." I say tears falling down faster.

"Austin, we need to talk." Oh no! Things are going great this morning. Sense the sarcasm?

"About?"
