Staring At the Edge of the World - An Austin Carlile love story

Chapter Fifteen - Dad

Hi guys! Sorry I have a little writers block, so I'm just putting this filler up for you. I hope that I get this really good idea soon, or else it's just going to be another filler tomorrow I guess.

Kat’s POV

I woke up in the arms of Austin and smiled to myself; it really did feel good. I went to the bathroom and did my business; when I came back, Austin had woken up, and he was giving me the biggest smile I’ve ever seen. It really made my heart melt.

“I’m glad I didn’t just dream that you were awake.” He said, making a movement for me to come over to him. I crawled back in bed; he kissed the top of my head, but I wasn’t satisfied with that. I turned my head and gave him a kiss.

“You won’t get rid of me that easily” I said chuckling.

“That’s not even funny Kat; you know I never want to lose you” Said giving me an extra kiss.

“I know, and I don’t want to lose you either” Just as I finished my sentence, the orderlies came in.

“Mr. Carlile? We’re here to take you to your surgery.” One of the men said. My heart immediately dropped to the bottom of my gut. This could be the last time I saw Austin alive.

“Babe everything is going to be all right. I’ve done this before, and I’m never ever leaving you, I promised you remember?” I felt tears forming in my eyes, and I simply nodded. I ran over to him giving him a crushing hug.

“I love you” He whispered in my ear. “Please stay strong; I’ll be out before you know it”

“I love you too. Just please, hang in there all right?” He nodded and kissed me, before the orderlies took him away from me. I remembered that the boys had told me to call my parents, so I found my phone, and their number. This was going to be expensive. I called the number and waited a bit.

“Hallo?” My dad answered.

“Hej far. Det er mig Kat.” (Hi dad, it’s me Kat) I said.

“Kat! Hvordan har du det? Vi var så bekymrede!” (Kat! How are you? We were so worried!)

“Jeg har det fint far, en smule øm, men ellers fint. Hvordan har mor det?” (I’m fine dad, a bit sore but good. How’s mom?)

”Det var godt. Hun har det godt.” (That was great. She’s doing good)

”Der er for resten noget jeg ville fortælle dig. Jeg mødte denne her fyr for nogle uger siden, og vi faldt straks for hinanden. Lang historie kort, vi er forlovede.” (There’s something I’d like to tell you. A few weeks ago I met this guy, and we fell for each other instantly. Long story short; we’re engaged) I sighed, being nervous for his reaction.

“Katelynn Jensen! Du siger du har mødt en fyr, efter nogle uger bliver I forlovet!? Er det ikke en smule for tidligt? Hvad skete der med Justin?” (Katelynn Jensen! You’ve only met this guy a couple of weeks ago, and you’re already engaged?! What happened to Justin?”

”Jeg ved godt det lyder forhastet, men jeg elsker ham virkelig far. Han er under en operation lige nu, og jeg er bange for at han ikke overlever den! Justin er en idiot, som jeg aldrig vil snakke med igen okay?” (I know it sounds rushed, but I really love him dad. He’s having a surgery right now, and I’m afraid that he won’t survive! Justin is an asshole who I will never talk to again okay?)

“Vent, var han I bilen med dig?” (Wait, was he in the car with you?)

“Ja, det var ham der kørte” (Yeah, he was the one who was driving)

“Så der er hans skyld?” (So it’s his fault?)

”Nej! Vi blev ramt af en spritkører. Austin havde ikke noget at gøre med det!” (No! We got hit by a drunk-driver. Austin had nothing to do with all of this!)

“Okay, vil du tale med mor?” (Okay, do want to talk to your mom?)

“Nej, det er okay. Denne her samtale har været dyr nok. Vi ses far hav det godt, jeg elsker dig” (No it’s all right. This conversation has been too expensive. I’ll see you dad, take care of yourself; I love you”

“Jeg elsker også dig. Farvel” (I love you too. Goodbye) I hung up and slung myself on my bed. I knew that he would react that way; he really liked Justin, and I would’ve described the situation, but it just wasn’t something that I could handle at the moment. I just laid there waiting for Austin to come back. At some point I fell asleep.
