Chapter 17

"Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!" - Who you are - Jessie J

I stumbled through my dark house as I tried to dodge bumping into the furniture. Blindly, I felt the wall as I tried to find the way to my room in the dark.

My parents were gone for the weekend and my siblings were at our grandparents leaving me with the house to myself. I actually didn't mind it since it seems it's always a mad house here.

I could use some peace and quiet this weekend.

But, that doesn't mean that sleeping all alone in a big house is not scary. Trust me, it really is. Which is usually why I call Austin and he would come stay with me or I would go to his house. This weekend though I decided not to because I knew I would be spending my time with Kyle.

Which is where I have been and why I am getting home so late. No, we weren't having sex or anything. Get your minds out of the gutter. We were just hanging out and watching movies with his friends.

He did offer for me to stay at his house since I was home alone and it was late but I didn't feel comfortable enough to do that.

Now I'm wishing I took him up on that offer because it's freaking scary right now.

I flipped on the lights once I found my bedroom and let out a murderous scream when I saw someone lying in my bed.

"Oh my God, Becks. Shut up,"

I breathed heavily and placed my hand on my heart to try and catch my breath when I saw that it was just Austin.

I threw the closest thing I could find at him which so happened to be a shirt.

"You scared me!" I yelled, pointing my finger at him.

He laughed, that asshole thought it was funny that I almost just had a heart attack because I thought a criminal was in my house about to kill me.

"What are you doing here? And how did you get in?"

He sat up from his lying position on my bed. "I got Dauton to drop me off because I knew you would be home by yourself this weekend and since I realized you weren't here, I got in with my spare key."

My heart melted just a little bit at how caring he was. But I was still mad that he scared the living shit out of me.

"You shouldn't be allowed to have a spare key to my house."

He chuckled, "You have one to my house so that would be kind of hypocritical, don't you think?"

I glared at him. Which got out another laugh from him.

I sat my stuff down and started cleaning up my room a bit. I have been spending so much time out with friends and at work that I haven't had much time to keep my room clean.

"Where have you been anyways?" Austin asked looking up from his phone. "It's pretty late."

"Well father, I was at a friends house watching a movie. I didn't think midnight was that late to get home for a seventeen year old."

"I was just asking. No need to have an attitude with me." He said. "It is late for you though. You're never out this late and you know you wouldn't be if your parents were home."

I shrugged, "What they don't know wouldn't kill them would it?"

He gave me a strange look, "Are you okay? You're acting weird."
