Summer Love

Chapter 6

Hey peoples! Here's Chapter 6:)

Juliet's POV

The effect the scene had on my is immediate. It felt as if Austin had personally ripped out my heart. My heart felt as if it had been trampled and torn on two. I hear an inhumane noise escape from my lips. Austin turns around, startled to see me.

"Juliet?" he asks, still amazed to find me there. I've lost the ability to speak. I just stand there wide-eyed, frozen with shock. Now that Austin is facing me I have a clear view of who he was kissing. It's none other than Brooke Stevens. At school she was known a slut. I've lost track of every boy she's been with but I know for sure that she's never been near Austin. Because Austin was mine. Oh my god, what did I just say? Austin WAS mine? I take a look at Austin and Brooke. When I came in her thin arms were wrapped around his waist, and his were wrapped around her. Now they've pulled apart but they're standing close to each other. There's a huge smirk on Brooke's face and she flips her face confidently. Yes, Austin was mine. It's clear it's over. We're over. Another handful of seconds pass by before my brain begins to work again. I blink once then bolt out of the kitchen. He didn't bother to put my suitcases up, so they're on the old couch in the living room. I grab them and leap out the front door. I half-run to the sidewalk and drop my stuff on the ground. I pull out my phone and call the last person on my recent call log without really looking at it. I'm sure it's Lizett since she's the last person I called this morning. The phone starts ringing. Ugh, pick up! I need to get out of here. I look around the empty street. Everything seems completely normal, as if what happened didn't happened at all. As if it didn't affect anything or anyone. No one but me.

"Hello?" I hear a voice answer. I answer in a rushed voice, because I know if I start to cry I'm not gonna stop anytime soon.

"Hey, it's me. I'll explain later but right now I really need you to pick me up at 1216 Northwood street. Please just hurry, I promise I'll explain later. Bye." I hang up and start biting my nails, which I always do when I'm stressed. Oh my god, what just happened?! Everything suddenly hits me with full force. My breathing becomes irregular and tears blur my vision.

"Juliet!" Without turning around I know who the all to familiar voice belongs to. Austin. I turn around to face him, he's only about a foot away from me. His light brown eyes are guarded.

"Juliet, I swear it's not what it looks like," he says. The sadness abruptly disappears and is replaced by rage. Anger pulses through me. The tears that were threatening to spill vanish. It's not what it looks like?! I want to yell. But Austin continues before I can say a word.

"I mean come on, you know Brooke," he says as if that explains everything. "And I swear she kissed me first. But I don't want her, I want you. I love you." My shattered heart wants desperately to believe him. But my mind is telling me something utterly different. He's lying. I grit my teeth as I realize this. He's lying straight to my face! That little... I slap Austin across his face.

"What the hell!" Austin cries out.

"You lying jerk!! You're cheating on me!! You know what?! You and that slut deserve each other!! It's OVER!! You rotten, lying, cheating, no-good, piece of--." I don't continue because then Austin suddenly grips both of my shoulders--hard. I've never seen Austin really mad, but now he looks pissed. Oh my god, he wouldn't really hurt me, would he? Before today I would've said no with out a doubt. But now... I'm not sure about anything anymore...

"Ow! Austin you're hurting me!" His fingers are digging into my skin. I'm pretty sure there are gonna be finger shaped bruises on both of my arms.

"How dare you slap me!" Austin screams at me.

"Austin let me go!" I cry out as I frantically struggle to free myself.

"Hey!" I hear a voice say. Is that? I look over my shoulder and see Harry sprinting towards us. Why is here?

"Let go of her!" Harry yells. Once he reaches us he pushes Austin off of me. I wince as I begin to rub my arms.

"Stay out of this!" Austin hisses at Harry viciously. Harry is standing protectively in front of me.

"Keep your hands off of her!" Harry growls. Then he turns to me.

"Let's get out of here Juliet." He takes my hand and begins to lead me toward his car. We only take a couple of steps when Austin grabs me wrist on my free hand. I twist around and jerk my hand back. He moves so his face is only inches from mine.

"Your right Juliet it's over," he says with a sneer. He walks back to his house without a single glance back. The heartache hits me again. I walk to the car mechanically. Harry puts my stuff in the backseat of his sleek black sports car. Once he's inside he starts the car and we drive away from Austin's house. A minute of silence passes before Harry speaks.

"That guy...did he...hurt you, before I got there?" Harry asks me. I don't feel like talking so instead I shake my head no. Harry seems to relax.

"By the suitcases I'm guessing you need a place to stay?" I stare straight ahead and nod stiffly.

"We have plenty room at our place. You can stay with us," Harry informs me. I don't say anything.

Harry glances at me. "Do you want to stay with us?" I nod again.

A short silent moment passes between us. Harry breaks the silence.

"Are you gonna explain to me what happened?" I look down at my hands in my lap and chew on the inside of my cheek. Like I'm gonna tell him what happened. I don't even know why he's here. I could've sworn I called Lizett. Harry doesn't push me further so we ride the rest of the way in silence. We soon pull up to a huge house. Harry and I each take a suitcase. Once we're inside Harry motions for me to follow him. I follow him, not really noticing my surroundings. We climb up an elegant staircase. We walk a little further to a door.

"This'll be your room," Harry tells me. He hands me the suitcase and opens the door for me. Such a gentleman, like Austin... Tears come to my eyes, but I'm holding them back. I walk inside and drop the suitcases on the carpeted floor. I turn around and close the door, with Harry still on the other side. I quickly lock the door.

"Juliet!" Harry calls out while pounding on the door. I ignore him and walk to the king sized bed. I collapse there and finally let the tears fall.
