Unforgotten Love (Austin Mahone FanFic)

Chapter 21

My eyes widened to the point where they couldn't open anymore. My hands began to quiver so I immediately placed my mug down before I would be able to break it. My heart started pounding harder and harder as the person came closer to our table. I duct my head towards the window hoping that they wouldn't see me even though I knew they noticed me when they walked in. 

"What's wrong Brooke?!" Renee slightly whispered to me directly above the table. She leaned towards me over the table, keeping her head low to hear my response.

"It's... It's... It's Austin." I stutterly said silently. I could feel my palms begin to sweat as all my nerves and emotions went crazy. 

Both Renee and I stayed in that awkward position for a few minutes thinking that he would be gone by now since we heard no movement or conversations happening. I straightened myself up and turned to my right to see Austin standing there with a huge grin on his face, obviously laughing at us for thinking hiding would work.

I silently cursed under my breath as I prepared myself for what was going to happen.

"Hi Brooke." He said softly. I missed the way he said my name.

"What are you doing here?" I snarled.

"Well the boys didn't wake up as early as me and I was starting to get really hungry so I thought of what better place to eat a nice breakfast than IHOP? I honestly didn't know you girls were going to be here."

"Look Austin I really don't want to talk to you right now." I spoke sturnly.

"Brooke listen I just want to talk. "

"I don't want to talk. I don't need to discuss anything with you."

"I just want to start over. Start fresh."

"Start over?! Austin. No. I can't." I gave Renee an annoyed look and started to get out of my seat. I pushed Austin out of my way and started walking, motioning Renee to follow. Renee stayed and pulled out her wallet to pay for a breakfast we couldn't even be served yet. I wasn't going to wait so I started walking out the doors.

"Brooke wait!" Austin called as he trotted his way over to me. He followed me all the way to the middle of the parking lot before he caught up to me.

"Brooke. Wait!." He said grabbing my arm.

"Let go of me Austin." I said through my grited teeth.

"I'm sorry Brooke. I really am. I really do miss you. I just want it to be like the way it was before."

"It can't be that way Austin! You broke my heart! I have suffered so much here without you." I yelled as a lump in my throat started to form making it difficult for me to swallow.

"Don't you forget it was you who broke up with me." By that time I was already crying.

"You don't know how much crap you've put me through Austin! I loved you!" I cried.

"Loved... As in past tense.." His voice drifting off in the end. I stared at him stil crying and just ran straight to Renee's car. Renee had already caught up with us and ran towards the car, unlocking it for me. I opened the passanger car door and ploped down on the seat, slamming the door closed. I bawled myself up and just cried. I cried as I watched Austin stand there in the parking lot with his hands burried in his pockets. I cried all the way to school. That was a horrible start to the day.

Renee drove us to the school were we stayed in the car before first period gathering our thoughts together. I took a deep breath and entered the school building filled with people that I care about and people I hate as well. Eight hours in this building for five days each week is pure hell. Renee and I separated to go to our first class and start our school day before we face Austin again later that day. 

During second period which for me is English, I recieved a text. When my teacher turned his back to face the board, I quickly pulled out my phone from my back pocket and clicked the home button to read the illuminated letters on the screen. It was from Austin. Of course. I set the phone on my lap so I can glance at it without looking suspicious. 

Austin: Hey Brooke. I'm really sorry for earlier.

I rolled my eyes as I locked the screen and refocused my attention on my teacher. When the bell rang, releasing us from class, I darted out of the room and into the hallway where I pulled out my phone. As I walked to my next class I read Austin's text over and over again. When I finally got my courage up I replied.

Me: It's okay.

Within a few seconds he responded.

Austin: I should't have gone up to you but i missed you so much. I just wanted to see you again.

Me: Oh...

Austin: you didn't miss me?

Me: umm..

Austin: oh.. i didn't know that you felt less of me now..

Me: no! .. I did miss you too .. a little.

Austin: are you coming over to Alex's house later?

Me: i dont know yet..

Austin: please come! I need to see your beautiful face again :)

I admit that message made me melt. I slightly curved my lip to form a small smile. I had made my way to my third class and went to the locker room. I didn't text Austin back because I didn't feel like talking anymore. Simple things like that text made me love Austin again. But do I want to love him again? Do I still love him? Austin why do you have to make this so difficult and confusing? I placed my phone in the pocket of my bag and closed my locker.
