Will You Still Love Me? (MAHTW Sequel)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9:
"Ugh. God damn that's bright." I groaned, shading my eyes from the sunlight filtering in through the window.
"Yeah, you're telling me." A voice that wasn't Austin's groaned in return. My head suddenly snapped to the side to discover Sam laying beside me.
"What? Why are you still here?!" I hissed frantically. "The guys will be home soon!" That's when the voices from below in the kitchen started floating up to us. "Oh damn, they're already here, get out!" I hissed.
"Okay, okay, I'm going." He said, raising his hands in defense. He scrambled up from the bed and headed for the door.
"NO!" I hissed, "do you know what it'll look like if you walk down the stairs in front of everyone!?"
"But we didn't do anything..."
"I don't care, it won't look that way, go out the window!" I whispered.
"Fine, fine, going out the window." He said, crossing the room and opening the back window. Luckily there was a fire escape he could use to climb down. He swung his legs out the window and climbed out then sat crouched down looking in from the other side. I leaned down onto it from my side to hear what he was saying.
"What about your car?" He asked. "When should I pick you up to go get it?"
"Later." I stated, "or I'll ask Angel to drop me off."
"Why can't I just run around the building and walk in again like I'm coming back to pick you up?" He asked.
"I don't know, it just feels suspicious to me so no." I said.
"Okay, fine, text me later." He sighed.
"I'm sorry for pulling you into this, I shouldn't have asked you to stay." I said, lowering my voice even more and leaning closer so he could hear, our faces were only a few inches away and suddenly his eyes drifted away from mine and over my face, they held a weird expression in them. "Oh no, don't look at me like that.." I warned.
"Like what?" He chuckled.
"Like I'm beautiful or something, your eyes stay on mine, got it?"
"But you are beautiful." He said without a moment of hesitation. I was stunned quiet, is he really doing this right now? Before I could process what he was doing his hand snuck its way into my hair behind my head and pulled me closer until our lips met.
My lips felt tingly and warm against his and it took me a few shocked seconds to finally pull away and I just stared at him in for a moment in a daze. In that moment his face fell too, realizing what he had just done.
"Oh shit Evan, I-"
"Just get out!" I hissed slamming the window shut. He stared at me like a pathetic puppy dog from the other side of the glass, his blonde hair hanging down into his eyes. I pointed off in a random direction other then my room with a stern look and he finally started climbing down the fire escape.
I fell back onto the bed, letting go of a breath I didn't know I had been holding and suddenly the full gravity of what just happened hit me along with the worst guilt I've ever felt. I quickly pulled my phone out of my pocket since I didn't changed from last night.
"Get up here right now! Don't make a scene or anything just quietly excuse yourself." I quickly texted Angel.
"Okay..." I got back. As I waited for her I ran to my closet and pulled out my night gown and changed into it then ran back and laid back down in bed. A few minutes later Angel snuck in.
"Hey, what's up?" She asked in concern.
"I kissed Sam." I blurted out, "wait, no, that's not right, he kissed me, I didn't mean for it to happen!"
"What!?" She hissed, her eyes going wide as she jumped onto the other side of the bed. "When!?"
"...like 2 minutes ago..."
"What!? He's been here all night?"
"Yeah but I was, oh my god it's a long story." I groaned, burying my face in my hands.
"Start from the beginning." She urged.
"Okay so I got off work yesterday and I ran into him at the mall and we started talking and we drove over to the bar he works at and hung out and talked and I just wanted a few drinks to get relaxed a little and instead I got super drunk so he had to drive me home, my car is still at the mall by the way, and I asked him to stay because I didn't want to be alone but then we fell asleep and I woke up and he was still here so I yelled at him and told him to leave through the window, which he just did, and we were talking after he climbed out and he just suddenly grabbed me and kissed me and oh my god I feel so bad, I don't want this, I love Austin." I spilled, speaking so fast it came out as one long sentence. Angel looked at me with a freaked out look for a moment but soon recovered her composer.
"It's okay. You weren't the one to make the move so he can't get angry with you, you just gotta tell him what happened." She explained as calmly as she could. I nodded but I knew my eyes were as wide as saucers.
"He's gonna hate me." I choked out, my eyes suddenly filling with tears.
"No he won't honey, just tell him." Angel urged gently. I breathed deeply, trying to get my heart rate and breathing under control and nodded, she was right.
"When did they get home from the studio?" I asked after I had recovered a little. She looked at me funny.
"At the studio? They played a late show and went out partying." She said.
"What? Austin texted me saying they were pulling an all nighter at the studio." I said.
"That's not what they've been telling me." She said. My eye brows pulled together in confusion.
"But why wouldn't he just tell me that...?" I wondered softly to myself. Angel shrugged.
"Oh and I don't know what you meant by your car being at the mall, it was in the parking lot when I pulled in last night." She said. My jaw hit the floor.
"What? What the hell is going on in the world!" I groaned, she shrugged. Since our room's window faced the back of the apartment and not the parking lot I couldn't check if she was right from my room so I jumped up and ran down stairs with Angel quickly on my heels.
I could hear many voices coming from the kitchen but I ignored them.
"Hey Evan!" I heard Tino say when I hit the bottom step but I walked straight past him and to the window. Looking out, sure enough my car was sitting out there.
"How eve- What the hell?! Oh no, no, no, no I'm done. I'm going back to bed, I'm so done with this day already." I squeaked in shock.
"Calm down Evan." Angel laughed.
"I will not calm down!" I said hysterically.
"You have a problem." she giggled, watching me stomp back up the stairs.
"Tell me something I don't know!" I groaned, slamming the door shut and flopping back into bed.
My head feels like its going to explode between Sam, and the car magically appearing here, and the damn hang over and now I've just stormed around the house raving like a lunatic. There was a knock on the door,
"What?" I groaned. I heard the door crack open and I curled up into a ball with my pillow.
"Heyyy." I heard Austin say gently, dragging out the word, sitting in bed and pulling me into his lap. "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry." Was all I could say, burying my face in his shirt, it felt beat red.
"About what?" He asked in confusion. It was on the tip of my tongue but I still couldn't admit it. Then suddenly my brain kicked in and I remembered what Angel had said earlier. My anger flared up and I pushed away from him sitting at the end of the bed and giving him a cold stare, he looked totally lost now. "Wait, before I get all emotional with my guilt, what about your's, why did you lie about being in the studio all night?" I snapped, wiping the tears that had escaped away. He sighed running his hand through his hair and looking away.
"Look, it was the boys who went out, I just needed an excuse to go do something." He murmured.
"Like what?" I asked.
"I-I can't tell you." He said.
"Why not?" I urged.
"Because it was suppose to be a surprise for you, but of course I should have known you'd find out." He sighed in frustration.
"You were planning a surprise for me?" I asked skeptically.
"Yeah, for our anniversary next week." He said, looking at his phone in his lap. I blushed and felt so embarrassed, I had completely forgotten that it was next week.
"But now that that surprise is ruined, what are you sorry about?" He asked.
"Oh um..." I blushed again.
"Just say it I bet it's not too bad." He said, now typing on his phone.
"Sam kissed me." I said softly. His head instantly snapped up and his eyes were clearly angry, I looked down feeling super guilty again.
"What?" He said partially angry, partially shocked. "When did this happen." I bit my lip, I didn't want to tell him that Sam had been here all night because he'd get the wrong idea but I couldn't not answer and lying now would just make it worse.
"Recently.."
"You know what, I don't care when it happened, I want to know why the hell it happened." He said through a clenched jaw.
"We were talking and he just suddenly reached forward and grabbed me, I wasn't expecting it and now I feel so bad because I feel like its my fault even though I never wanted it. You know I love you." I croaked, my voice breaking. His face softened slightly and I relaxed a little more.
"Come here." He said, grabbing me and pulling me back into his lap and pressed me tightly to his chest. His chin rested on top of my head and I felt him take and release a deep breath. "It's not your fault, but I am going to kill him next time I see him, you can't stop me from that." He murmured. A hysterical giggle escaped my lips.
"I feel bad though because I didn't do enough to stop it. I think I led him on somehow." I said.
"I don't think you've led him on at all, I think he just still has feelings for you and he saw an opening." Austin said, still hugging me tightly.
"I gotta be honest with how it happened..." I sighed, I could feel him tense a little beneath me as if getting ready. "I ran into him at the mall and we went to the bar to have a drink and talk but I drank a little to much so he had to drive me home but then I realized no one was here and I was scared to stay alone so I asked him to stay but he fell asleep here and when I woke up I freaked out because you guys were here and if he went down the stairs I knew what you'd assume so I made him crawl out the window and that's when he did it." I said, explaining it much slower and calmer than I had with Angel. I thought he'd get angry but he suddenly laughed. "What's so funny?" I questioned.
"You made him crawl out the window?" He asked still chuckling.
"Yeah, and he was much less graceful than when you do it." I said.
"Well I do climb up the sides of stages for a living." He said, "and he cheated, he had a fire escape." I smiled and nodded. "I was mad when you first said it but I trust you, I know how you feel and I know you wouldn't do that on purpose so I can't stay angry." He said. "I love you." He murmured, kissing my forehead. "And I know you love me too." I smiled up at him and threw my arms around his neck, attacking his lips with mine. I felt him smile against my lips and he tried to pull me up closer but I turned and straddled him, tangling my fingers in his hair.
"God I love you." I said against his lips. He tackled me, rolling me onto my back and laying on top. He continued kissing me before he suddenly pulled away, remaining over me, looking down into my eyes, I cocked my head questioningly.
"Let's just go have some fun today." He murmured, running his thumb over my lip.
"What happened to having to work?" I asked.
"It doesn't matter right now, I'll take a break today." He replied. I nodded,
"So what do you want to do then?"
"Anything, I just want to be with you."
"No, not just anything. I think it's time we talked." I said, he looked at me in confusion. "For real, anything you want to know, I'll talk." I said, taking a deep breath. This was a step I needed to take. I loved and trusted him so he had a right to know everything, I shouldn't be keeping secrets from my other half. He smiled,
"I'm holding you to that." He said.
"You can hold anything you want against me." I said with a coy smile, making him laugh. "But yeah," I said getting serious. "it's time I stopped keeping secrets."
