He Rode the Roller Coaster // Austin Mahone

Ch. 7

Michele just sat there with her hand over her mouth.

"H-h-he is?" she said and Austin nodded.

"H-how? I dont u-understand." she sounded so scared and she had that scared look in her eyes.

"He showed up at Kaley's house tonight and her and Alex saw him and ran and called me."

"We'll keep you safe honey." Michele said looking at me concerned.

"Wait, what? Safe from what? Who is he? How do you know him?"

"Kal, its ok. Ill explain in a minute." Austin said again.

"Take Kaley to our house, she can spend the night." 

"But what about my parents?"

"Why don't you give me their number and I'll call them and let them know that you ended up crashing at our house?" She said with a smile.

"O-ok."

Me and Alex hugged Michele and walked out. When Austin hugged her, I could hear her whisper, "Keep and eye on out, ya never know."

We walked to the car and Austin dropped Alex off at his house.

"You guys gonna be ok?"

"Ya, Alex, I can handle it." Austin replied with a chuckle.

After about 5 minutes, I broke the silence.

"Soo, do you wanna tell me whats going on?"

"When we get home." I sighed.

We pulled into his driveway and walked in.

"Want aything to eat?"

"Its ok, Im still full from that pizza." I said as I giggled.

"Ok, do you wanna know now?" He said as he pointed to the couch and I nodded in excitement.

"Ok, so this guy that you saw tonight, has a history with my family. When I was about 10, he got to my mema-"

"What do you mean got to?"

"Im getting there." He laughed

"One night, I was spending the night at her house and I was in bed and I heard the door burst open. I automatically thought it was my granddad. I heard my mema scream and new something was wrong. So I went to go look and she was laying there with a knife in her shoulder. My grandad was asleep too so I called him down and we called 911 and she ended up being alright but they never caught the guy. But I knew it was him. I just knew it. I remember looking around to call for my grandad and see a black figure running out of the door-"

"Austin, Im so sorry." I said cutting him off and holding his hand.

"Im not done. About 2 years later on the news they announced that this guy was going around, killing as many women and girls and he could because he was trying to do labs on bodys or trying to clone people or whatever, I dont really remember I was 12. Anyway, they found his lab and he had a list of last names he wanted. My last name was on there for my mema and mom. So after that, we were on the look out cuz they still didnt catch him when I was about 13. One night he caught my mom, just as she got home from work. I was of course upstairs, being a stupid teenager, on the phone with Alex and i heard her scream. I swear Kaley, my heart dropped to my feet. I dropped the phone and ran downstairs to see the guy holding a knife to her neck. Honestly, i didnt know what to do. I wouldve done anything. I remember threatening him to drop the knife or i would take out another one from the drawer next to me. He was covering my moms mouth so she couldnt really say anything. But he went to cut her and I immediatly took the knife out and went to stab him in the chest but i missed and hit his arm. He dropped the knife and went to take my mom but I punched him and he cut my wrist after he picked the knife back up and ran out." 

He lifted up his the sleeve of his sweatshirt to show me the scar. "oh my god!" 

"But the point is, he was after my family and somehow he mustve known we were on a date or something and wanted to go after you. I knew something didnt feel right when we were there. Thank god Alex was there with you, i dont know what I woudlve done."

I picked up his head, "Austin, everythings ok now." I just hugged him. It mustve been really hard for him to say all that.

"I havent told that story in a while. I guess it just gets to me."

"I'll always be here if you wanna talk." I said rubbing his back.

He stood up and held out his hand for me to take. 

"Where are we going?"

"To look at the waves! They're amazing this time of night!" He said as I smiled and grabbed his hand.

He grabbed his keys and we stepped outside, only to see the guy in black walking up the driveway, "What did you think I would give up?" he said with a grin on his face.
