The Sunset // Suicidal Love Story

Chapter Four

   He puts the car in gear. Driving out of the parking lot. He doesn't look at me.
I'm still crying. I hide my face in my sweatshirt but he puts my hood down, revealing my swollen eyes.
"Where are you taking me?" I say sniffling.
"Away from here"
He looks at me with an unknown emotion. Care..?
He looks back to the road. Grabbing the steering wheel harder than necessary.
I still didn't understand why he took me out of class, I don't even know where we're going.
We pull into a driveway with cherry trees along the sides. After we drive up the twisting driveway there was a mansion. It looked to be abandoned.
"We're here" he says looking me in the eyes, once again analyzing me with a slight dullness.
"Why are we here?"
"This place makes me feel better and thought 'it might make her happy'"
   "Why are you doing this?! We barely know each other!" I say a little too mean, oops.
   "Because no one deserves sadness" he says softly.
   I can't believe he said that. He's the nicest guy I've ever talked to. Well, the only guy I've talked to.
   "No one has ever done this for me"
   "I figured as much." He says smirking.
   When I don't return the smile, he frowns and looks at me with these sad, dull eyes. It's funny how you can have bright eyes but they can be so dull.
   He got out of the car and started walking towards the abandoned house. He stopped when he noticed I wasn't following. He stopped in his tracks and walked to my side of the car. He opens it and holds out his hand again. I grab it before I can think twice.
We walk towards the house. He opens the door and all of a sudden the house doesn't look abandoned anymore. It's fully furnished.
I look at him puzzled.
He says,"This is my hideout."
I let go of his hand and put my head down. I can't like him. I'm not going to be alive long enough to like someone.
"You don't have to do that here" he says, sounding concerned (As always).
"Do what?"
"That looking down thing you do whenever you blush" he smirks
I blush even more. I can't believe I'm here with Austin. Did I already die? Cause there is no way this is real. Forget about it Avery, it won't matter.
I sit on the couch nearest to the door. He sits next to me. My hand was at my side, I was looking around the house.
Austin grabbed my hand. My pulse quicken, I looked over at him and he wiped a tear, that I didn't know was falling down my cheek. I notice he has a tear falling down his face too. I reach over to his face to wipe it but he pushes my hand away.
"I'm sorry" I mumble walking towards the door. As I grab the nob, he pulls me into a hug. I quickly push away and say,"I can't be here".
"I'll take you home." He says frowning.
I can't believe I let this happen. Avery, you have to get yourself together! You cannot get tied up with anything, you'll hurt even more people.
We got to my street and finally my house. I noticed no one was home so that was good. I got out and so did he. I walked up to my door. I stopped to look at him.
"I want to be alone. Before you, no one talked to me and never looked at me either. So just leave me the fuck alone!"
He just keeps looking at me, trying to figure me out.
"As you wish"
He turned around and walked towards his car, got in, and drove away without looking at me.
I walked inside and went over to my vent, getting my letter. Maybe I shouldn't do it on my birthday. It's too far away and I can't have Austin figuring me out. I should do it now.

Feel free to send me your own version of covers as the plot thickens. I'm planning on having this story be pretty long so there's more story to be figured out. Ask questions and give me feedback.
