Chapter 9
The movement of my legs as I walked ruffled my long, white dress. I looked around me, noticing everyone that had ever meant something to me was sitting around, watching me. I looked to my right and saw my dad, his left arm linked with my right as we took gentle steps up the carpeted aisle. His expression was unreadable. He was staring straight ahead, his lips formed into an unmoving straight line. Then I realized where I was. I was at my own wedding. I brushed it off, turning my head towards the surrounding audience again. I located everyone important: Tucker, Robert, Payton, Jacob, my mom, and so on. But there was one person missing: Alex Constancio. Why wasn't he here? I looked up at the alter to find the man I would be wed to. Austin Mahone.
I shot my head up, taking deep and heavy breaths. My room was completely dark. Why was I dreaming about Austin? I was probably just thinking about him considering I hadn't talked to him since the night I was at his house, I told myself. I looked over to my right, checking my clock. 6 AM. I groaned, pulling the covers off me and turning on my light.
Monday. Personally, I hate Monday's, but really, who doesn't? I walked over to my closet, wiping my eyes, as if it would take away the tiredness.
No such luck.

"Hey!" Alex greeted me as we walked to school together. Usually, my mood would change for the better when I saw Alex but today, I felt distant from him. Like he didn't mean as much to me as he used to.
"Hi," I responded meekly.
"So guess what!" He shouted, ignoring my sudden change in attitude.
"What?" I asked.
"Payton's my girlfriend now," He announced with a proud smile on his face.
"That's awesome," I responded, discretely rolling my eyes. Don't get me wrong, I was happy for them.
"I know," He smirked, "So I heard you and Robert exchanged saliva under a lamp post on Saturday?" I couldn't help it. I laughed.
"Alexander Ruben Constancio!" I hit his shoulder, pushing him backwards a bit as he chuckled. "When you say it like that, it doesn't sound very nice!"
"I'm just kidding, Ali. I'm happy for you guys." I smiled. "But I can't believe you didn't tell me. I had to get Robert to tell me. What's up with that?"
"In my defense, I tried to call you but you were too busy with Payton."
"Oh, yeah! What did you need the other night?"
I started to remember what I was going to tell him. I was going to tell him everything. Everything about Austin, my parents, Tucker, Robert. Everything. But now, I can't. It doesn't feel right. "Nothing. It was nothing," I responded.
"Oh," He replied. He knew I was lying. Alex always knows when I'm lying. "Well, anyways, Robert really likes you."
I blushed and tried hard to smile as much as possible. "I really like him too."

I walked up to her desk, looking down at my hands. How was I going to phrase this? "Yes, Miss. Jones?" She spoke, pursing her small red lips.
"I need to change partners for the project," I responded quietly, wishing I wasn't doing this. She locked her eyes on me, probably wishing I didn't have to make everything so difficult for her. That's all I seem to be doing for people lately: making their life difficult.
"Who were you partners with?" She asked.
"Austin Mahone," I responded, my bottom lip quivering as I choked out the last syllable of his name.
"Okay, have a seat," She instructed me. I nodded, turning on my heels and walking towards my desk. I kept my hair hiding my face as I sat down. My teacher approached the front of the room as she began to speak, "Have a seat students."
Everyone shuffled towards their seat, sitting down and turning their attention to the front of the room. I glanced quickly over at Austin as he slouched in his seat, looking unusually awake. "Oh, and Mr. Mahone," The teacher began. I held my breath. "You will now be working alone for the current project."
I kept my head down. I didn't want to see him but I could feel him looking at me. Eventually, I couldn't take it. I glanced up. His hazel eyes which were tearing up, adding a red tint to them, stared at me with the most hatred and hurt I'd ever seen. I didn't want to stop working with Austin on the project, but working on the project requires being together, and being together requires breaking my parent's rule.
Austin scooted out of his seat, pushing past people and stepping into the hallway. I sat there, motionless. I wish I could tell him why I did that. I wish I could be hugging him again. But I can't. Austin just left, out the room, and I can't be with him anymore. He left. And he took a huge part of me.
I could feel myself starting to cry. So I did the one thing I knew how to do in these situations. Run. I stood up from my chair, following Austin's action and stepping out into the hall. The vacancy of the hallway was relaxing and soothing.
I walked down the hallway, listening to my footsteps echo though the empty corridor. I headed towards the water fountain. Once I reached it, I look a long drink to quench my dry throat. "Hey, Ali," A familiar voice said from behind me.
I turned around, wiping the leftover water away from the corners of my mouth. "Hey, Tucker," I responded, gazing into his perfect hazel eyes.
"Are you crying?" He asked, taking a step closer to me. I quickly wiped my eyes. "Why?" Tucker asked, rubbing his thumb underneath my eye.
"Long story," I responded, not being able to say much or move, being paralyzed by his touch.
"Please don't cry anymore." I nodded slightly, trying to obey his command. I felt helpless to Tucker as if he could control every move I made and every word I spoke. Before I even could comprehend what was going on, his lips were on mine.
I hesitated but kissed back. His hands traveled to my lower back, pulling me closer to him. I wrapped his arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. I tried to control my thoughts. Impossible. My mind was scattered all over the place.
Tucker eventually pulled away as his eyes changed from love to desire and passion. "You're amazing, Ali," He whispered, holding my cheek. He pecked my lips passionately one last time before turning and heading down the hallway.
I stood there, dumbfounded. What just happened?
