Sorry for the long wait

Austin's Point of View

I stared blankly at the room, it was terrible. There were blankets and pillows scattered everywhere, the mattress was flipped over off of the bed, and the lamp was on the ground.

"How did this happen?" I breath out, surprised at what this room looks like. I heard the door open, causing me to look back, seeing Alex entering the room with the cleaning lady. He looked startled to see us.

"Oh, hey guys. I didn't expect you to be back so soon, but I can explain the huge mess, just give me a sec," he said, shoving the lady in the room and dragging us out.

"Why the heck is Austin and mine's room destroyed?" She asked, furiously. I could see the anger fuming in her eyes. I’ve only seen her this angry once before. I remember the tears streaming down her face as her hands were clenched in fists, her mouth in a straight line as she rocked back and forth on her heels.

Her ex-boyfriend Tyler had cheated on her, right before her eyes. I remember her telling me about how hard she punched him in the nose, and how many names she had called him. I held her for two days straight, telling her that he never deserved her, and that he was the biggest asshole for putting her through pain like that. But, this time, she was jumping to conclusions. She thought it had happened again.

I saw the tears brim at the corner of her eyes, as she forced out some words squeakily.

“What the hell happened in here, Alex?” Ali asked, trying to sound calm, sniffling her nose a bit.

“I swear, it wasn’t supposed to happen..” he trailed off, the cleaning woman had left the room to give us time to talk it out. “She just barged in here. I couldn’t stop here. I told her to get out. Before I knew it she trashed everything. She was unstoppable.”

“Who was it?” she asked impatiently.

“Megan.”   I saw Ali stiffen at the mention of the name. Her old best friend. Alex’s ex-girlfriend.

“Why?” I asked, confused. Ali breathed out, sighing.

“She’s been after me for the past four months, ever since Alex broke up with her, and ever since people found out that Alex liked me. It’s not usually like this, it’s only through hateful messages through facebook, twitter, texting, basically anything she can do to get to me. I don’t want anyone to get hurt. Could I talk to Alex alone for a few minutes, Aus?” she spoke. I nodded my head and closed the door behind me, giving her privacy to talk to Alex, before leaning my head against the door, closing in on their conversation, only to hear muffled voices that I couldn’t understand. I gave up and walked away from the door.

*Ali Point of View*

“I’m sorry she came after you.” I said, my arms crossed while I looked down at the floor.

“It wasn’t your fault. I should have stopped her. I had no clue she was this obsessed, to the point where she would attack any of us.”

“I know. You should never have started liking me. Never should have broken up with her, that way none of this would be happening.”

“I can’t help what I feel, and I lost all feelings towards her, and I would love nothing more than for her to get hit by a bus right now, but I’m not quite that cruel.”

“You shouldn’t say things like that.”

“Why not?”

“You could have just jinxed her, and that would be terrible. Just because she backstabbed me, and cheated with my ex, doesn’t mean I still don’t care for her. She will always be considered my best friend, even if I wish she never had been, I’ll still consider her one.”

“I know what you mean. Remember my old friend Seth?” Alex said, lowly chuckling. I nodded. “Remember when he left? He took my friends away, and I hated him for it. Sure, it was only fifth grade, but that was a big deal back then. I’ll always care for the dude. Just like how I’ll always care for you, Austin, and any other people that I’m friends with now, whether it be that we’re not friends in the future or not, I’ll always care. I’ll even always care for Megan, deep down.”

“I know.”

It was silent for a bit. Us just awkwardly standing there in the middle of the mess of mine and Austin’s room. I took that time to inspect the room. The bed sheets were everywhere. The lamp was knocked over and broken. The drawers were all spilled out. My clothes were thrown in all places of the room.

“Alex.” I said, looking up at him.

“Hmm?” He hummed out.

“If this keeps happening, this is not going to work out.”

“I don’t care if it keeps happening, Ali.”

“Yeah, but I do. I don’t want anyone to get hurt by her. Even though she’s not dangerous, I don’t want anything to happen.”

“Ali..” Alex began, but I cut him off.

“Alex, I’m sorry, she wants you back, and she’ll keep hurting both of us if we stay together. I’m so sorry, but we’re done here, I think. I’m so sorry.” I said, giving Alex one last kiss on the cheek before exiting the room, leaving him stand there alone, single.

Author’s Note: Hola! Finally, an update! I’m so sorry this is taking forever, but this story is now marked as ‘Slow Updates’ I’ve gotten some ideas now, and this story should be ending in probably ten chapters or so.

I have a huge question for you guys! Do you like my other novels? This is the one that I get the most reviews on. I’m going to be publishing story ideas soon, some up for adoption, most not, though.

So, lately I have been obsessed with 5 Seconds of Summer, and I’m thinking of doing a ‘Coming Soon’ fanfiction of it, once I figure out a plot and such, or I’ll put it into my story ideas. How does that sound? Oh, and who’s your favorite member from 5SOS? Mine is Luke :) He’s just so perfect! asdfghjkl. <3 But the rest of them are, too. If I do a 5SOS fanfiction, which boy should I do it for? I could probably do one for each one eventually, but only one at a time.

Here’s the deal, I’ve read this on a novel I have read on here, it’s called ‘Cupid, the Bad Boy, and Me’. I love that novel! But the thing she uses, is the word COTE. It’s Vote + Comment, which equals Cote. So, erm, Cote for me?

This is a long authors note, so I’ll let you guys go ahead and cote for me, and tell your friends to read, comment, vote, and follow!

Each and every one of your comments I appreaciate, and I love hearing your opinions.

Stay beautiful,

Michaela xox
