DEVIL {Austin Mahone Love Story}

Chapter 24

-Madison's POV-

I sat there in class, next to Grace with Riley on the other side of her. Looking over at them, I couldn't help but notice their over friendly behaviour. Grace's hand was on Riley's shoulder as she pushed him away from her, giggling. Shaking my head, I looked back down to my work trying to figure out the last equation before the class was finished.

Maybe this wasn't what I thought it'd be. I'm sitting here in class doing math when I could be sleeping right now.

It'll be worth it in the long run.

Giving up completely, I closed my book shut as I pushed back out of my chair just like everybody else seemed to be doing. My mind just isn't in the right place at the moment, I'm just so confused. Why did Austin and I fall out so much over something silly. Sure, some hurtful things were said both ways, but this kind of thing's happened before and it's nothing that isn't sorted out in the morning. So why is it so different now? Why didn't he catch me by surprise like he does every morning, kissing my neck with his arms around me from behind. Why was I left so excluded and why wasn't he so protective of me like he usually is?

"Bye Riley! See you Thursday!" Grace called out as we walked separate ways. I looked over my shoulder to see him give her a single nod of his head. "Grace!" I scolded, once we were all clear of his hearing range. "What?!" She asked innocently. "You have a boyfriend" I pointed out, as if she had forgotten in just three hours. She rolled her eyes, "I don't know what you're talking about, I was just being friendly." She said simply, with no sign of guilt, proving she meant nothing by it. "I know, but Finn wouldn't see it like that" She gave me a look, "Well, thanks for looking out for me Madi, anyways he knows I have a boyfriend." She shrugged and I decided to just leave the conversation at that. I'm still not keen on that Riley kid.

"Hey if Austin's still being a douche we'll go out for a girls night okay?" Grace whispered before opening the front door. I giggled, "Thanks Grace. I owe you one" She flipped her hand down as if to say it's no big deal.

Walking into the house, I didn't take notice of anything. I just wanted to go straight to bed to take a nap for a few hours. Obviously getting space apart from Austin for a few hours didn't clear my mind, so hopefully sleep will.

I opened the door to the bedroom and plopped my backpack on the floor by it. Looking up, my eyes connect with Austin's for a split second. He was looking at me over his shoulder as he was halfway through getting changed, most likely wondering who was at the door. I didn't hold his gaze for longer than half a second though. I knew if I did, I'd just cave in and apologise for everything even though I'm not in the wrong at all.

Walking to the other side of the room where my clothes were at, I slid my top off and shuffled through the draw of clothes, trying to find some sweatpants. Anything comfier than my skinny jeans would be good. Realising I didn't have any, I went over to Austin's drawer to scavenge through them. I saw Austin lick his lips from my peripheral vision, trying to tear his eyes away from my body. "Second drawer" He mumbled, realising what I was looking for. He knows by now that I like to wear his clothes better than mine. "Thanks." I muttered, finding what I was looking for.

Walking back over to 'my' side of the room, I slid his clothes on and jumped into bed. "How was class?" He said in the same tone of voice as before. "Great." I said bluntly. "You wanna fucking talk or not Madison?" He groaned, looking at me. I narrowed my eyes, "Don't even start. You're the one in the wrong here." I stated. "Now that makes a change" He said sarcastically.

After a few moments of nothing passed, her turned to me. "Fine, you know what? I'm sorry okay." He sighed. Needing more than that, I stayed silent for him to carry on. "Mads" He laid onto the bed, but was propped up by pillows. "Mm" I hummed. "I'll take you out again tomorrow if that's what you want" He suggested. "You're not apologising because you're sorry, you're apologising because you don't want me to be mad at you." I stated. "Oh for fuck sake Madison" He suddenly got up off the bed, and I stood up along with him. "Why do you always have to fucking complicate things?" He yelled. His jaw was clenched, his breathing heavy. "Me?! I'm the one who complicates things?!" I shrieked, "You can talk about fucking complicating things! We can't stay in for one night without you having to go and kill people!"
