I didn't go to school today, so I'm going to update.

I'm sorry for being such a shitty writer these past few months but I don't deal with stress very well, and I'm easily overwhelmed with things.

Chapter 11.

"Hi, I come with snacks and movies" Austin walks into my apartment. He sits down next to me on the couch, sitting the bag in his hand on his lap "I got you a vanilla coke because I know it's been a while since you had one" He hands me a vanilla coke. I smile and sit it on the table, looking to see what else he brought.

He lists off everything else he has, which ranges from candy to chips. I grab the bag of hershey kisses, and sit back against the couch, opening the bag. I kick my feet up onto the table, and grab a hershey kiss, taking off the aluminum and popping the chocolate into my mouth.

Austin and I have been getting along a lot more lately. He's been here a lot more than before which is nice.

"You know, I don't want to watch a movie" I sigh, turning to him and throwing my legs over his lap.

"What do you want to do?" He asks, his hand on my thigh.

"I don't know. I feel like I've been in this apartment for months" I roll my eyes.

"Then, let's go Babe" He stands up, pulling me up with him.

"Let me change my clothes" I walk to my room, putting on a pair of leggings and a clean sweater, sliding on a pair of nikes, and spraying perfume.

I walk back out into the living room, seeing Austin on the phone, his back towards me "No, I'm not busy" He shakes his head, and my heart twinges.

I knew it wouldn't last long.

"Yeah, I'll be there in a few minutes" He says, and I can hear the smile in his voice "Okay, I love you more, Baby"

He hangs up the phone, and I make it look as if I had just walked out of my room "So, I was thinking we could go to the park, maybe walk around the trail they have or something..."

"Actually, can we take a rain check?" He asks "I forgot about this huge project I had to do, and I only have a day and a half to finish it"

"Oh" I say "You can't take like an hour or two to hang out with me?"

"I wish I could, but I can't" He sighs "I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you" He hugs me, kissing my forehead. He lets me go and walks out of my apartment, leaving me alone. I let out a frustrated groan, especially at the fact that he, once again, lied straight to my face.

I sigh and walk out of my apartment, slamming the door behind me. I take the elevator to the bottom floor and walk to Jesse's apartment, the walk taking twenty minutes. I knock lightly on his door, and he opens it, smiling at me.

"Hey, I thought you were hanging out with Austin today" He says as he lets me into his apartment.

"Me too, but apparently someone else is worth his time more" I huff.

"Well, if it helps, you're worth my time the most" He wraps his arms around me in a hug, kissing my cheek. I grin and hug him back, his presence bringing me a sense of comfort.
