Wedding Crashers

Part Seven

I was sitting there for a while just thinking. Thinking about my life and everything I've done wrong. I thought I was handling it well here, I mean for someone who spent almost two years being a fan of the kid you were spending 2 weeks with. I wasn't doing anything wrong. They were just being judge mental and overbearing...right?

My phone rang and I checked my messages. It was from Sam.

'Leigh, can you call me?..'

I dialed her number and listened to it ring a few times.

"Hey Leigh."

"Hey Sam what's up?"

"Leigh, I am so sorry but-"

"What?"

"I can't do it tomrorow...or any day you're here in Texas."

"What...why?"

"Something's come up...I-I need to go up north for a few weeks, I don't really want to talk about it..."

"But Sam-.."

"I'm sorry Leigh, have fun in Texas ok?"

And she hung up.

And I sat there.

It didn't really hit me until I thought about it all. I wasn't seeing my bestfriend and I wasn't enjoying myself here. Why did I come to Texas?

All of my emotions hit me and I started crying.

Apparently a little too loud because next thing you know, my door was open and in came the boys.

I quickly dried my tears and turned to my laptop.

Alex came over towards me,"Are you ok?" He asked. I nodded and gave a fake smile towards him. I glanced back behind him at Austin who was staring.

"Yup, I'm fine." I said quietly.

"You don't seem it, are you sure?" This time Alex came closer and put his arm on my back, which made me flinch. I looked him in the eyes and smiled.

"I'm alright." I said reassuringly as I wiped away my tears. Austin had made his way to my bed as well. He was sitting next to Alex looking down at his shoes. "I'm alright, no big deal!"

Alex frowned and stood up. He led Austin out of the room and shut the door. Thank god. I cried a little but more.

I wasn't seeking attention, or making it look like I was a weak little girl. I fucking missed my best friend. I didn't want to be here anymore. I hated it here.

Alex came in my room once again, and caught me crying.

"Listen, you can tell me what's up. You seem really upset, just tell me?" He said looking me straight in the eyes.

I told him about Sam but not about the fact I hated it here.

"Oh, you know, you can still take up that offer and we'll show you around if you want?" His smile was intoxicating. I smiled slightly.

"Yes, that would be great."

"Cool! See ya later tonight ok?" He said standing up. I stood up with him.

"Thank you..and I'm sorry for spilling it all out.." I said looking down

He pulled me into a tight hug and said,"No problem, we're friends now right?" He left after that.

Where was Austin?
