Swan Song (A Cody Carson Fanfiction)(Completed)

Swan Song - Chapter 5

"Yeah I'm not Cali. Sorry to drop by unexpectedly I just wanted to check on you."

My eyes widen more at his words and at the person saying them. Why is Austin here? Why does he want to check on me? More importantly, how does he know where I live?  We only talk in my store and plus when I was at the party that was the only time I talked to him out of the store.

Get out of my thoughts as I give a small smile to Austin.

"No don't be sorry it's fine. It's very sweet that you wanted to check on me. Do you want to come in?"

I open the door more and step out of the way as he slowly and awkwardly walks in. I close the door and ask the obvious question.

"How did you find out where I lived?"

He smiles and laughs slightly as I let out a sigh, well more like a huff as I cross my arms over my chest.

"Oh yeah this seems weird huh? Well, I heard what happened at the party from your friend, Cali and I wanted to make sure you were alright so she gave me your address because she knows that you and I kind of know each other."

I nod, grasping what was told to me. So Cali told Austin what happened, not to mention where I live as well. I'm going to have to talk to her about giving out my address.

I push my glasses up as I nod.

"Oh, well it's sweet of you to check on me but I'm fine. Whatever happened at the party is in the back of my head."

I smile lightly and run a hand through my hair, waiting for him to say something because I don't know of anything to say.

He places his hands in his pockets and lets out a sigh.

"You sure, because I saw you leave the party and you didn't seem too happy."

I nod, putting a hair behind my ear as I begin to look around nervously.

"That's because I wasn't."

I immediately regret saying that as it leads Austin on, now wanting to talk to me about it and I just don't want to do that.

"Do you want to talk about it? I mean I only know what you said, not the whole story."

I shake my head, my right hand rubbing back and forth on my arm, uncomfortable with the situation I just put myself in.

"You sure? I mean I know we barely talk but you told my best friend you hate him so I kind of need to know. Why do you hate him? How did you know him before?"  

I shake my head again, looking away as my body begins to shake. I let out a little laugh as I speak to lighten the mood.

"I'm not answering that Austin. If Cody hasn't told you then I'm not telling you because it's between me and him. I don't want to talk about this right now."

He steps closer to me as I move back slightly.

"Ok maybe don't tell me your whole background with him, just tell me the context of the party or something."

I move away, walking past him away from the door and near my kitchen. He's too close to me for this.

"Long story short he tried to kiss me that night ok? So there, you got the story now, could you leave if that's all you wanted to know? I just can't deal with this."

My backs towards him that whole time I spoke. I didn't turn around at all, just stared into space hoping he'll get the message.

He lets out a heavy sigh that fills the room, a room that needed to be filled with answers and not just awkward silence.
