Will You Still Love Me? (MAHTW Sequel)

Chapter 10

Chapter 10:

"I would be lying if I said I didn't still have feelings for Sam. He was my first love and first everything basically so he'll always have a part of me. But he does have his faults. He hasn't always been the kind caring Sam we know today and that's what I remind myself of any time I feel like he might make a move because somehow I know he still feels the same about me. I don't want to be with him again but I still want him as a friend because he's been one of the best supporters I've had in my life. I know it's selfish and cruel but I can't help it so that's why I still keep going back to him, not because I love him, I just don't want to lose him." I replied to the question of whether I still love Sam or not and if not why keep him around. Austin's hand tightened around mine as he nodded in understanding.

Instead of going on a date we rented a hotel room for the day to get away from the apartment and people and just the world in general and get back to us. For the last hour we've been laying on our sides in bed, facing each other as we both took turns talking and as stupid as it sounded it was actually helping a lot.

"Why is Lucas so bad?" I asked.

"Well.. He's kinda like Keenan in a way but instead of roping in lovers and ropes in accomplices. Like Keenan used his charms to woo girls and get them in bed but Lucas can use his to get people to do whatever he wants and he does it mostly to women." I nodded,

"So he's bad news because you think he can persuade me to do something bad?" I almost laughed.

"No, because I know he can. I'm sorry but you have a mind that is very easily influenced." He chuckled.

"That's not true!" I said playing offended and slapping him on the arm.

"If you are naive enough to take advice from Avery then he can get you to do anything he wants, even if its completely crazy." He said.

"I don't believe that." I scoffed.

"You don't need to, just stay away and you'll never have to." He said. I nodded.

"Why are you always so jumpy and assuming something bad is going to happen?" He asked. I was quiet for a moment and turned to look up at the roof.

"Because he's still out there." I murmured, pausing another moment and taking a deep breath before going on. "I thought my dad was out of my life after my mom divorced him when I was younger but I was wrong and he's back now. Everyone thinks he's content with having gotten to my mom but I'm very sure he's not done yet." I said. He nodded thoughtfully.

"He's a smart guy, the only evidence he left was a few finger prints on her car and he's been a ghost ever since. He'd be an idiot to try coming after you because he knows police are looking for him." Austin reasoned, I nodded.

"He is smart, I'll give him that, cold and calculating also but he's also unpredictable, no one knows that better than I do." I mumbled. "When my parents were still together I used to think he had some sort of mental disorder because his moods worked like a switch. In front of my mom he was perfect and loving then he could be cruel as soon as she walked out of the room but right back to perfect when she came back. I remember thinking how that wasn't normal, but now that I'm older I've come to realize that's just how the world works, people do things as they suit them but can 360 at anytime."

"You know you're safe though, you've got all of us plus the police are a phone call away." Austin said.

"My mom had her phone on her too Austin, and look where that got her." I said, tilting my head to look at him. This quieted him for a while to the point where I actually turned on the TV to fill the silence.
