Part 9

I wake up and move Austin's arm away from my waist. I look up at his sleepy face and give him a peck on the cheek. I walk down stairs to get some food to wake him up to.

"Morning mom"

"Good morning!" she said with a smile

"Why are you so happy?" I ask, while pouring 2 cups of coffee

"I don't know.. I slept good" she shrugs " I saw Austin slept over"

"Oh, uh yeah" I say, felling kinda awkward

"don't worry. You're old enough and I trust the two of you"

"Oh my god! Mom no.. I'm still a .. I haven't slept with Austin!" I tell her changing the end of my sentence.

"Oh okay.. Well that's good to hear" I roll my eyes and walk back up the stairs to my room. When I open the door Austin is sitting up and rubbing his eyes

"Good morning" I say to him, handing him the coffee and giving him a kiss

'mm, good morning"

"I need to take a shower. It's still early, go back to sleep" He placed the cup on the side table and pulled the covers up to his neck closing his eyes. I let the hot water pour down my body and started thinking about what Ashley would think about my 'Harry Problem.'  She'd probably just laugh and say I'm turning into her more and more everyday.  I get out of the shower and walk out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body. Austin was still sleeping so I walked over to my dresser and picked out light skinnies and dark blue top. I blow dried my hair and woke Austin up so he could get ready.

"Austin.." I quietly say, nudging his shoulder

"hm?" he rolls over on his back rubbing his eyes

"Get up, it's 5 after 7" he grumbled and groaned but got up and walked to the bathroom still in his blue boxers. He shut the door but I heard the tap going so he was probably washing his face. When he walked out of the bathroom I was applying my eyeliner. He stood behind me and put his arms on either side of the chair.

"can I help you?" I chuckle will applying my mascara

"Just admiring you" I place my mascara in my bag and stood up, placing my arms around his neck

"Go get dressed" I give him a quick peck on the lips before I let go. He walked over to my dresser, opening his drawer and pulling out a pair of grey sweatpants and a light blue shirt. Once he pulled the shirt over his head, he walked back into the bathroom to gel his hair and brush his teeth.  By the time we both where ready to go to school it was 7:30. I walked downstairs with the two coffee mugs and rinsed them out, putting them in the sink after.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah, just let me get my bag" I run back up the stairs to my room to grab my bag. I scan the room one more time until I saw Austin's phone on the bed. When I picked it up it said he had 3 missed calls from an unknown number and when I walked down the stairs it started ringing again. "Austin, your phone!" when I handed it to him he declined it. "Who was that?" I ask while walking to the truck

"Nobody important" he shrugs while starting the truck. I knew there was something he wasn't telling me, but I let it go seeing's how I kissed somebody who I just met yesterday..I was in no reason argue.

"Last night was good"

"It was?"

"Well other than the part when you told me you kissed Harry.. I meant the part of just you and me lying in bed.. I liked it" I could tell he was a little bit embarrassed but honestly it made him look adorable.

"Yeah me too" I say with a smile.   When we get to school Niall and Hannah aren't waiting outside for once. Austin walks with me to my locker, once the bell rung we said our farewells and Hannah and I walked to first

"You guys seem happy?" Hannah says but it sounds more like a question

"Austin and I?"

"Yeah. I don't know.. You guys just seem happier" she shrugs

"Oh. Well he slept over after Harry left" 'shit!" I curse to myself.. I wasn't planning on telling her about Harry.

"He slept over?" Hannah asks with her eyebrow raised and a smirk on her face

"Slept Hannah Slept.. Okay? Sleeeeep" Why is everybody thinking we slept together

"Wait! Harry was over?" she asked a little too loud for my liking

"Uh yeah" I tell her trying to act like it wasn't that big of a deal

"Why the hell was he at your house?"

"I was just getting him caught up"

"Ahhh! I get it now" she laughs

"Get what?"

"Austin found out Harry was over and you guys fought about it"

"I.. well. we.." I tried to finish but the words didn't come out. She was right, more or less

"What happened?" she sighed

"nothing!" I looked at the clock that was hanging on the wall, class should start any second

"Oh bull! Austin wouldn't fight with you just about Harry being over. There's something else"

"There's nothing." I don't want to tell her about the kiss. That's something I want to forget myself and if I tell her I'd never hear the end of it.

"Fine" she huffs. We wait in silence for Mr. Welch to arrive. A blonde lady, young.. Maybe around 24 walked into the room with papers in her left hand a coffee in her right.

"Okay" she huffs " Sorry I'm late. My name is Lea Grimshaw and I'll be your sub for a week or 2"

'Grimshaw... Lea Grimshaw.  I recognized the name but not the face. I looked at Hannah to see her already looking at me.

"I know that name from somewhere" I whisper to Hannah

"Me too, but where?"

And that's when it hit me.. This girl has something to do with my best friends death.  I was quiet the rest of the class. Just watching and examining the lady in front of the room talking about 'A being 24 and 'C being 57.  She died her hair and got a completely different wardrobe. Why would she come back? The police told her not to.. Maybe she knew something about Ashley's case. But even if she did why was she here, at my school, in my classroom?
