in the forgiving of forgetting

Chapter 8

Mercedes POV,

stopping the reaction of how uncle John and aunt Bailee made dinner for us is not how I pictured in my head. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, They were the spittin image of my parents as they stood in the kitchen smiling and laughing as it looked from the dinning room. I looked acrossed from me and looked at Austin. Why does he have to be right about being the kid with no parents? I just don't get how the nerdy girl with no siblings looses her parents just because her bestfriend says so. I may not know everything when it comes to loosing someone who was apart of you but I do know how it feels to not have anyone to call mom and dad! I stood up and walked into the kitchen and into the fridge. I stood there as I pulled out a can of pop realizing that the room suddenly got quiet. I turned around and looked at uncle John and aunt Bailee, Stan and Judy.

" I know you all feel bad for me but please lighten up I lost the only people I call my parents do to a incident that happened on the road. I get it if you all feel like it would never be the same. Your right I know in my heart It will never, ever be the same again! The people I do have here with me is my aunts and My uncles but most of all I also have my best friend here with me cause you all care so much and I am truly great full that I get to spend so much time with you. But something crossed my mind, do I get an option on where I want to live?" aunt Bailee nodded and said,

" you sure can kiddo. Where would you like to go?" I walked up to the counter and leaned against it.

" if it's no trouble I would like to go with uncle John and aunt Bailee." I looked down at my pop can when I felt a hand against my skin. I looked up at aunt Bailee as she smiled.

" it's no trouble at all sweet pea you can go where ever you like."

" I want to go with you!" she nodded and held out he arms. I walked into them and hugged her tightly.

" so your leaving this state?" I pulled away to see Austin standing in the door way. I immediately looked down and nodded.

" yeah I um....uncle John and aunt Bailee said I can go where ever I want."

" why can't you stay here with us?" just like that he turns around and walks away. I gave aunt Bailee my pop and ran after him. 

" Austin wait...."

" No!" 

" Austin please?" I said as we reached his bedroom he stopped running and turned around.

" Look i'm...." out of no where he grabs my arms and gives me a good shake. 

" Do you have any idea what your doing to me is hurting me? You're leaving me
