~Mackenzie's P.O.V~
What? He likes me? I never thought he would...but he does. I don't know what to say, what to feel. So many emotions take over my head.
"Austin..." I start but stop.
"Yeah?"
I take a deep breath before saying, "Okay."
A smile takes over his face. I cant help but smiling myself. When I'm with Austin, I forget my problems; I forget my dad even. He makes me feel safe and okay, like nothing can hurt me. It's a great feeling I have when I'm with him. I never want it to end. Though I know someday, somehow, it will.

He's gone. I knew it. I fell asleep then woke up some minutes later and he was gone. I knew it would end. I just knew it. I'm alone. It's like my destiny was to be alone. No one to love this broken girl. No one to love, no one to care. It's all my fault. If I was never born...people would be okay. But I was born, a burden on my parents and soon a burden on Austin. My only friend who cared before and after my Mom died. I need to go before I hurt anyone else. I grab my bags I brought from home and run out the door, not once looking back.
