a/n: I think I'm going to have one more time skip of a chapter, then we're going to let some shit hit the fan.
:austin:
I walk back to my dorm after dropping my mom off at the airport. She just left after spending the entire winter break with me in Pennsylvania. She said she was excited to finally see a white Christmas. It was nice to see my mom, I could tell that she's been sobering up, and I believed her when she told me that she's clean.
I also asked her about Griffin, as if she knew and when she shrugged her shoulders, I knew that she didn't. So now, once I'm back at my dorm, I pull out my phone and call Tiana, since she's the only one who can tell me.
"Hello?"
"Hey Tiana"
"Hey, you want an update?" She snorts and I sigh.
"Yeah"
"Well-" She begins to say but cuts herself off, her line going silent for a moment.
"Hello?"
"Sorry, my mom was calling me. Anyways, she's doing okay. She has a boyfriend now, or at least kind of does"
"Oh..." I trail off, a feeling of sadness washing over me "Is she happy?"
"She seems it, he's a nice guy"
"That's good for her, I hope he treats her right"
"She says that he does, so you know, I guess she's okay"
"Yeah" I nod before clearing my throat "Okay, uh, I'll call you soon then"
"Okay, bye" She says and I hang up the phone. I toss it onto my bed before falling into it, pulling a blanket over my head. I can't believe she has a boyfriend. I shouldn't be surprised, I mean, she's not with me anymore. But I don't want her to move on and be with someone else. I want her to be with me.
I've always wanted her to be with me, I'll always want to be with her.
It sounds stupid to say, when I broke up with her and got another girlfriend, but I couldn't deal with not being able to see her everyday. I love Griffin with every part of me, but I missed the affection of having a girlfriend, and I couldn't stand being away from Griffin.
I miss talking to her, I miss seeing her face, I miss holding her, I miss kissing her, I just miss her and I can't stand not being able to see her everyday and if I could go back and change things, I would've gone to University of Miami so I could be with my baby.
I pull out my phone, sending her messages, against my better judgment, only to have them being ignored.

[A/N: ignore the calling thing at the top. I'm on the phone with my friend]
"Fuck" I toss my phone on the floor in my room out of anger. Laying back down in my bed and putting a pillow over my face.
I miss my Griffin. I want her back.
:griffin:
"Ooh, it's him" Tiana says looking down at Austin's name on her screen "I'm telling him you have a boyfriend"
"But, I don't" I shake my head.
"You do today" She winks, answering the phone.
"Hello?.. Hey you want an update?" She asks with a snort "Well-" She starts but I take the phone from her putting it on mute.
"Don't lie to him" I tell her, and she rolls her eyes "I mean it T, I don't want him thinking I have a boyfriend when I don't" I hear his voice on the other line and she takes the phone back, turning off mute "Sorry, my mom was calling me. Anyways, she's doing okay. She has a boyfriend now, or at least kind of does... She seems it, he's a nice guy" She says and I facepalm.
"She says that he does, so you know, I guess she's okay... Okay, bye" She says, before hanging up the phone. She sits it on the bed beside her and pouts "He got so sad"
"Oh my god" I huff "I told you not to lie"
"I know, and now I feel bad" She says.
"This is why you should listen to me" I frown.
"I should call him back and tell him I was lying, but I don't wanna" She shrugs.
"I know" I laugh slightly "I gotta go though, I need to write an essay"
"Okay, have fun" She says and I leave her house, getting into my house and driving off to mine. When I get home, I realize I left my phone at Tiana's house, and I sigh loudly and tell myself to get it later because if I do now, I'll never finish my essay.
I don't finish my essay until like 10 pm, and when I do, I drive back to Tiana's house. I walk straight into her house, her parents loving me enough to be okay with me just walking in. I walk up to Tiana's room, and open the door.
"Your phones right there" She says, and I pick it up.
"Anyone text me?" I ask, and she shakes her head.
"Nope, you've got no friends" She laughs and I roll my eyes playfully.
"You're right though" I laugh "I'll see you tomorrow" I say before leaving her house again and driving back to mine. When I get into my room, I plop down onto my bed, scrolling through my phone to see that I did not get any messages like she said.
It's not like I was expecting any, but for some reason I still check for messages from Austin every now and then. I miss him like crazy, and I know it's stupid because he has a girlfriend, but I can't help it.
I wish he would've stayed here as selfish as that sounds. But since he didn't, all I hope is that he's happy, and isn't regretting anything. Someone as amazing as him doesn't deserve to feel that way.
