Unforgotten Love (Austin Mahone FanFic)

Chapter 31

"Sweetie are you okay?" My father's soft hands rub against my back.

I slowly nod as I grab my stomach in pain. I grab a few napkins from the door pocket and wipe away the left over disgust from my face. I attempt to control my breathing from its accelerated speed by taking deep breaths in and out to calm myself down. 

"I-I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me." I protested my unannounced behavior.

"It's okay honey. I understand you're feeling a little bit nervous or overwhelmed by this huge step in your life, but I'm here to tell you that everything is going to be just fine. Would I let you go if I knew this wasn't going to benefit or be good for you?" 

"No. I guess not." I said, climbing back into the car, shutting the door. "Thanks dad. For everything. I love you so much." 

"I love you too. Now are you ready to get going once again? You don't need to throw up again right because if you do, do it now or forever hold your peace." He chuckled at his corny joke and I joined in with him. I sure am going to miss his reassurring jokes and advice.

"Yes! I think my stomach has gained it's strength again so I'm good. Let's go! I don't want to be late for the flight dad!" I playfully yelled at him as he merged back onto the highway.

"Okay okay! But when we arrive you better run to the restroom and brush your teeth because I know Austin don't wanna kiss no girl who just threw up!" He joked back.

An overdramatic gasp escaped from my mouth as I grabbed my heart. "DAD! Stop!!" I yelled at him, covering my face with my hands.

We both burst out into laughter at our miniature war or agruement. I felt my cheeks burn slightly at his comment about Austin kissing me. Even though my father has seen us kiss before, it still makes me extremely uncomfortable to even discuss that topic with my dad.

As we continued to drive to the airport that was getting closer and closer, my dad decided to take this oppurtunity to restate all the rules and regulations of this move. Ever since I asked him for permission to go, he has none stop been telling me the rights and wrongs of life and telling me to make good choices. Things I've heard from him my entire life. I feel like he's taking this time to summarize all his life lessons in one car ride before I board that plane to Miami. After each statement he makes I just roll my eyes and tell him I know and he questions me if I really do know or not. 

"Dad I know all of this already. Calm down. I'm going to be fine I promise!" I said monotonously and annoyingly at his repetitive questions.

"Okay Brooke. I'm just making sure you are aware of all the choices you are going to be making while over there. I want you to be extremely careful because I don't want you to get hurt nor get in trouble." The exit sign for the airport was now in view as we began merging off the highway towards the grand building. "I love you too much for you to make stupid mistakes that you will regret later."

"I know dad. I'm going to be okay, there's nothing you should worry about. I'm in good hands! You trust Michele and her parenting skills. I'm going to be just fine! Plus I'll call you every chance I get so we can discuss our days together like we always do."

We pulled up into the departure drop off area and parked the car since my dad didn't want to walk all the way from the actual parking lot where we were supposed to park. I drew in a deep breath and looked back at my dad.

"But the difference Brooke is that you wont be here in person to discuss our days with. You won't be here in person to talk to, and make breakfast with, or watch scary movies with." His voice cut off before he could say more. I knew he was about to cry and my mouth immediately became dry. I can't see my dad cry, especially right now at my weakest point.
