Unbroken (Austin Mahone Fanfic)

Chapter 7

Chapter 7-

I stepped inside.

"Sit down." She said. I walked to her couch and sat. I looked up at her waiting for her to tell me what that plan was. She was pacing back and forth, then she stopped and tuned to face me. "Go to her and talk to her."

"What?"

"Go and talk to her. Work it out."

"Maya you don't get it. Never mind." I said as my voice started to crack again. I began to get up and walk towards the door. She grabbed my arm and turned me back around.

"No Austin. I do get it, trust me. Just take my advice, because something that simple can go a long way, you know? Just trust me on this one." Her innocent blue eyes bored into mine. She had a straight face, so I could tell she was being serious. I nodded my head, trying to calm myself from crying. She pulled me in for a hug and she wrapped her arms around my shoulders as I did her back, nesting my face into her neck. She rubbed my back. "Everything will be okay, I promise you." I didn't want to let go of her, but I had to.

"Thank you. I'll give it a try and let you know." I said.

She slipped her hands into her pockets and softly smiled and nodded.

"Will I see you tomorrow?" She asked.

"I don't know. It depends..."

"On what?"

"What happens...I gotta go. I'll talk to you later." I said as I waved goodbye. She waved to me as I reached for the door and stepped out. I walked to my car, deeply thinking about the simple thing she said.

Talk to her.

And that's exactly what I did.

------------------------------------------

I started up my car and took off to go to Ashley's house. She lived a couple houses down from Jason. I pulled into her driveway and got out of my car, slamming the door.

I stopped myself in my tracks.

Don't be mad. Don't yell. Just talk.

I knocked on the door. Ashley opened it with a straight face.

"Ashley we need to talk."

"Okay."

"Was it really necessary to post that video? Do you know how fucking disrespectful that is?! You're...you're pregnant!" I snapped.

"Austin listen to me, I-"

"NO Ashley, YOU listen to ME. You made a complete fool out of me in that video! Do you have any idea-"

"Austin!" She cut me off. "I'm..I'm not pregnant..." She said.

"What?! Then why the fuck would you-" I stopped when I saw her crying.

"Jason...he made me make that video..."

"Why did you listen to him?!" I said angrily.

"Because..." She said wiping her tears away...he said if I didn't..." oh god. "he would kill me..."

What? No. Jason's not a killer. He's an asshole but definitely not a killer.

"Ashley do you really think he would kill you?" I said.

"He would...you don't know him. He...he came over the day I made that video and...he had a gun with him. He gave me a paper with the exact words in the video...he told me that if I didn't make this video and upload it then he would kill me. He was standing right outside the camera frame pointing it at me the whole time...I still even have the paper." She said with a shaky voice. She motioned for me to come inside and I did. She quickly ran up the stairs and came back down with a paper in her hands. She handed it to me.

"Hi, my name is Ashley Quinn. I'm a junior in high school and I just want to share a story with all of you today. Everybody goes to teenage parties in high school. Gets drunk, does drugs here or there, whatever. Needless to say, I was one of those people. This past Saturday I went to a party and sure enough got wasted and let some boy take advantage of me. Next thing I knew I was upstairs riding some guy's dick that I don't even know. My ex boyfriend walked in on us and almost killed us both. So I just wanna give a special thanks to Austin Mahone for taking advantage of me that night. Thank you for getting me wasted, taking me upstairs and having sex with me when you don't even know me. Thank you for ignoring me when I tried talking to you after. Thank you Austin for wrecking my 3 year relationship with the man I loved forever. Thanks a fucking lot. I hope every fucking girl watching this knows NEVER to get with you because shit like this will happen. But I guess I'm going to have to permanently accept Austin into my life now, because now something's happened that can't be fixed. Hope you can raise a kid, Austin."

It was Jason's handwriting.

Oh my god. She wasn't lying. I could see it in her eyes too.

"Ashley oh my god. I'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry. Jason will kill me if I take it down. As much as I want to...I can't...I'm sorry." She said as she began to sob into her palms.

"Ashley you can't let him control you...take that video down. Tell someone that you trust what happened and that Jason needs to be watched. But you have to take it down. Now." I said.

She nodded, tears still rolling down her face. She walked over to her laptop and logged onto YouTube.

Fifteen THOUSAND views.

She moved her mouse over to the delete button. She looked up at me and I nodded. She exhaled a shaky breath and closed her eyes, forcing the rest of the tears out. She clicked the delete button, and that was the last time anyone would ever see the video.

"Thank you Austin...I'm really sorry."

"I'm sorry too. I gotta go." I said. I walked towards the door and took out my keys. "Bye." She waved back to me.

I got in my car and pulled out of her driveway. I figured I needed to call Maya.

"Hello?"

"Maya?"

"Yeah."

"Is it ok if I come back over? I just talked to Ashley."

"Yes that's fine."

"Ok I'll be there in a minute."

"Ok, bye."

"Bye."

I could still hear the hurt in her voice. I couldn't wait to tell her what Ashley told me.

------------------------------------------

"Oh my god Austin...I...I don't even know what to say...that's sick! Someone needs to get Jason help before something happens."

"I know. I'm worried."

"That makes two of us."

"How long do you think it'll be before Jason realizes the video's gone?"

"I don't know...but the damage is done. 15,000 people now hate me for 'getting Ashley pregnant'."

"You're gonna be ok, Austin I promise you." Maya said sweetly. She came closer to me and put her arm around me. I sighed.

She looked into my eyes and snaked her arms around my neck, as mine went to her waist. The next thing I knew our lips crashed into each other's, in a slow, steady sync. She pulled back. "I promise you."
