What Are You So Scared Of?

Ten

Austin came by after about five months of us not talking and Anne was excited to see him. I dyed my hair blue and added red highlights to Anne's hair. She was back in school now and she's gotten bigger.

"Hey troublemaker." He greeted smiling.

"Hey Austin guess what?" She asked.

"What?"

"I got a perfect score on my science and math test."

"Awesome job!" He exclaimed giving her a high five.

"She took after me." I said smiling weakly.

"Yeah, I see. Brendon wasn't always that smart but he was smart."

I nodded and Anne ran up to her room saying she was gonna do homework.

Austin and I stayed in the living room and we sat on the couch.

"How have you been?" He asked.

"Okay. I've gone out a couple of times with some old friends but not much." I replied.

"I wanted to tell you why I haven't been around."

"Okay." I replied.

"Hayley, it's obvious that I can't compare to my cousin and honestly, I don't want to. I really really like you Hayley and I want us to be together. I want us to get married and have kids of our own with Anne as my little girl too." He said.

"Austin-"

"Marry me Hayley." He said cutting me off.

I gasped when he showed me an engagement ring that looked just like the one Brendon gave me.

"Hold on." I told him running up to my room. I took my ring off the dresser and ran down to Austin.

"Look at this ring." I said holding up my old engagement ring. "Now look at the one you're giving me. They're almost the exact same."

"Kitten-"

"Stop, only Brendon calls me that!" I yelled and my head was starting to hurt and I was starting to cry.

"Hayley, are you alright?" Austin asked but he was starting to look like Taylor.

"Oh my fucking god, Anne!" I screamed.

I put something down and I struggled to get off of my bed and I ran down the hallways.

"Anne!" I screamed.

"Hayley, what are you talking about?" A voice asked.

I turned around and it was Taylor wearing a concerned look.

"T?"

"Hayley, who's Austin and Anne?" He asked.

"Kitten?" A voice asked.

I looked at the stairs and Brendon was there holding a bag.

"Brendon!" I screamed happily running to him and throwing my arms around his neck kissing him hard and passionately.

"Hayley, what's wrong?" Taylor asked concerned.

"What is he doing here?" Brendon asked.

"He was about to kiss me. And then you walked in and threw my ice cream at me and punched him in the face. Then you had alcohol and were on a cliff and I got you off after failing numerous times. Then we were gonna crash in a lake and we were both hospitalized and I had a miscarriage. Then we broke up and the next time I see you after high school is in prison. Turns out, Taylor put you there and we got back together but Taylor with the help of Chad and my old best friend Cassadee, they killed everyone I loved including you. Also I was pregnant with twins and one of them died but I gave birth to a girl and you wanted her name to be Anne. So Anne and I were living together and we met Austin at the cemetery. Austin and I start dating and that's when I found out he is your cousin. Then we have sex and afterwards, I'm getting interviewed on the anniversary of your death. Kellin calls me saying Anne is in the hospital because she had an allergic reaction to pecans. Then I yelled at Katelynne and Kellin and then Austin and I got into an argument and he didn't talk to me for five months. He came back saying he wanted to marry me and he held up a ring that looked exactly like the one you gave me when you proposed back when I was pregnant the second time. Then everything blended together and I'm here." I explained.

Brendon and Taylor both gave me blank faces and I said what.

"I kill our friends and your family?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah."

"Thanks for making me seem sadistic." Taylor replied going in my room, grabbing his guitar and leaving.

"See you at school!" He called out.

"Brennie, you believe me right?" I asked.

"Let's just eat your ice cream, okay?" He asked smiling.

I smiled and said okay.

"Brendon?" I asked as we lay on my bed us cuddling.

"Yeah Kitten?"

"I love you."

"I love you too." We kissed softly and I snuggled into him more.

*At School*

"Dakotah!" I yelled.

She looked at me weirdly when I gave her a big hug.

"Um, hi?"

I ended up explaining to her what I told Brendon and Taylor. Pretty soon everyone in our group knew and they made fun of it.

"Austin?" I called out when we were all in lunch. Brendon and everyone else turned their head quickly and I ran up to him and hugged him.

"Hi Hayley." He replied smiling.

"Austin, what are you doing here man?" Brendon asked shocked.

"I moved here yesterday."

I looked at Austin and he winked at me and I gasped.

"What's wrong baby?" Brendon asked concerned.

"Anne." I replied. "She's kicking."

Everyone except Austin felt my belly saying random things and I looked at Austin and I gave him a toothy grin he smiled brightly at me.
