Good Bad & Undecided. (Austin Mahone Love Story)

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

I didn't respond. I was frozen in place. Tucker stood in front of me, bursting with anger. "Well?" He snapped at me. I bit my lip and looked down. "Ali, are you going to explain to me why you did that!?"

"I-" I began, only to be interrupted.

"There's no excuse. You know, I had actually fallen for you. It seemed like you were the only girl who liked me for me. Not because I was popular," Tucker spoke, running his hand through his hair. "Jus-just-just leave me alone," He stuttered, jogging off somewhere into the house with his friends soon following behind.

Everyone's eyes were locked on me. I felt my eyes start to water as I stood there with my head down. Soon enough, the music started blasting again and everyone began dancing again. I took deep, choppy breaths, trying to calm myself down.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to face Robert who's red eyes matched his cheeks. He ran a hand over his face and then over his eyes, to keep himself from crying. "How could you do that?" He whispered. His crying caught me off guard. Maybe he was drunk. I could never imagine he could care enough about me to cry in this situation. Then again, maybe he did.

"Robert, I'm-"

"Don't say you're sorry cause you're not! Do you really like Tucker? That's what I wanna know. Cause if you don't and you were just playing him, we can work this out," He whispered, cupping my face in his hands. I blushed at his touch.

Should I lie? Could I lie? I'm not exactly an expert at lying and this kid sees right through me. "I do like Tucker," I mumbled and almost immediately, he pulled his hands away.

"You-you-you slut!" He shouted, causing a few heads in the room to turn. I cowered back a bit as his eyes burned a whole through me. That hurt. It really hurt. He took one last glance at me before storming off out the front door. I stood there, letting the tears build up in my eyes and letting them flow freely down my cheeks at a rapid pace.

I was paralyzed. I couldn't move. I looked up and through my blurred vision, I saw Alex making his way over to me. He put his hands on my shoulders and began leading me out of the house. As soon as the cold air hit me, I felt myself instantly relax. The music was no longer pounding in my ear drums. I listened to the steady beat of Alex's footsteps as he lead me towards the road.

When we reached the road, he sat down on the curb, letting his head fall into his hands. "Ali...Ali...Ali, you've done it this time, haven't you?" He said, a little smirk playing across his lips. He reached out and took my hand, pulling me down onto the curb next to him.

It stayed silent for a few moments until I found the nerve to speak again. "Why am I so stupid?" I asked, turning my face towards him. He did the same, looking at me with sympathetic eyes. "Robert is amazing. I love everything about him. But of course, I have to go and mess it up."

Alex reached over, letting his thumb run softly under my eyes, wiping away any tears that were left. "They were both dumb enough not to fight for you," He whispered, almost hypnotizing me with his voice. His voice that I loved hearing so much. Alex didn't remove his hand from my cheek. "I know I told you this before but Ali, you're beautiful."

Then, I made my next stupid act of the night. I leaned in at the same time Alex did, hoping maybe kissing my best friend would solve all my problems. Don't ask my why I thought that. His lips touched mine for the first time ever, momentarily catching me off guard. Damn, he was a good kisser. His free hand traveled down to my waist, pulling me closer to him. I moved my hands from his neck up to his precious hair that I loved so much. He chuckled through the kiss as I used my fingers to mess it up.

"You whore! Get off of my boyfriend!" I heard someone screaming behind us. Alex and I pulled away from each other and as our eyes locked for a brief second, I saw the desire he was just feeling for me, his best friend. But soon enough, he stood up, straightening out his shirt. I looked behind me to see Payton running towards us.

Alex immediately ran towards her, holding his arms out in front of him. As she continued jogging, she pushed past him and headed right towards me. I stood up cautiously and fixed my hair that Alex had just messed up. "How dare you!" She shouted, pointing her finger in my face. "First you hurt my cousin and now you stick your tongue down my boyfriend's throat!" I zoned her out. I didn't exactly want to hear what she had to say. But I became in touch with reality again when he palm was slapped across my face. I gasped, holding my cheek in pain. She grunted before walking away towards her car, leaving me there.

"Babe, come back!" Alex shouted, running after her.

"Leave me alone, Alex!" She shouted before speeding off in her car down the road. Then Alex did something I was not expecting. He hopped in his car and drove after her, leaving me there on the road, without a ride home.

I tangled my fingers through my hair nervously as I sat back down on the curb. I bit my lip, trying to comprehend everything that just happened to me. Tucker hates me, that's clear. My boyfriend broke up with me before calling me a slut. Understandable. My best friend kissed me. Why? Then he left me alone, chasing after his girlfriend who had previously called me a whore. And now, I don't have a ride home. Perfect. Just perfect.

"Ali?" I heard a faint whisper behind me. I stood up and flicked my head around. Wow, just the person I wanted to see. Austin. He took dainty steps towards me, as if he was scared of me.

"What do you want!?" I shouted, probably a little louder than I should have. His eyes immediately softened. He looks different from the last time I saw him.

"Are you okay?" He asked. I looked at him. Really looked at him. I missed him. I reached for him, wrapping my arms around, holding on to him tightly. He smelled amazing. I missed that smell. "Ali, I'm sorry," He muttered, running his hands through my hair. I stayed silent, crying quietly into his shoulder, probably soaking his shirt. "Where's Alex? I thought he came out here with you."

I whimpered. "He-he left."

"Do you need a ride home?" He asked, his voice was soft and comforting.

"Yes, please." My parents would never have to know. Plus, I don't think I could bring myself to stay away from Austin anymore.
