Chasing The Sun

Oh

: a u s t i n :

" Morning sunshine. " Lilly giggles as I sit up. She's making breakfast. I get up from the couch.

" How'd you sleep? " I ask her as I walk into the kitchen.

" It was a nice rest. How about you? "

" Your couch surprisingly comfortable. " I laugh and I walk up and hug her from behind and lift her small figure up.

" I made you breakfast. " She hands me a plate of bacon, eggs, and toast as I put her down.

" Aren't you eating anything? " I ask slightly confused.

" Oh. No. I have a job interview today. I'm going to start working. So I have to get ready and get going. " She says fiddling with her hair. She never answered my question though.

" But why aren't you going to eat something? " I ask now concerned.

" No. I need to go get ready. " She says walking to the bathroom and closing the door behind her.

" Okay. " I say even though she's already gone.

" Austin! " Someone calls from behind me. I spin around to see her.

" Oh.. " I look down and wish I hadn't turned around as she runs over to me.

" How are you? " She smiles widely showing off her pearly white teeth.

" I'm great. Why are you here Skylar? " I ask annoyed. She is the most irritatingly happy person and it makes me want to strangle her. I can't believe I ever dated her. What mind set was I in?

" I was just on a morning run. " She chirps while bobbing her head just so her blonde curls will bounce.

" That's wonderful. I have to get going. " I grumble and start to walk away, but she follows me and keeps talking.

" But you're out in the park. There's no rush at all. " She smiles and starts walking faster as soon as I do.

I make a split second decision to leave the park.

" There's a rush. I have to go. " I say, desperately trying to get rid of Skylar.

" Okay. I'll walk with you to your car. " She says trying to keep near me.

" I walked here. " I try.

" That's fine. I'll walk with you there. " She says, practically skipping down the sidewalk.

" No. I'm fine walking myself home. I'm a big boy. " I say starting to walk faster.

" Really though. I just want to chat with you. " She says trying to keep up to me.

I stop and turn to face her.

" Skylar. We're not dating anymore. We were done 2 months ago. I don't want to chat with you. " I grumble.

" My name is Sky. Not Skylar. " She screeches and runs across the road and down the boulevard.

Thank God.

" I don't have work today. Wanna go out and do something? " I offer as I walk out of the bathroom in a towel after my shower.

" Nah. Can't we just stay here for a day and hang out? " He asks.

" Sure. I'm gonna go change. " I say turning around.

" I like you like that though. " He mutters, mostly to himself.

" You are something else. What am I to do with you? " I laugh and he smirks.

" I have a couple things in mind. " He says getting up off the couch.

" I'm going to go get dressed. " I yelp as he runs for me. I make it to my bedroom before he does and just to tease him I lock the door. He stands out there whining and grumbling about how 'mean' I am.

I slip on a pair of comfortable sweatpants and a blue t-shirt.

I open the door and Zayn practically falls into my room.

" Oh hello. What are you doing here? " I laugh as he blushes bright red.

" You are satan. " He grumbles.

I laugh as he stands up and walks to the kitchen with his arms crossed.

I walk up behind him and wrap my arms around his waist and grab his hands. I pulls away from my embrace and plops down on the couch with his legs up by his chest.

" Hey Mr.Grumpy Pants. " I tease, poking his arm.

" Go away. " He grumbles, turning his back to me. I can hear him trying not to laugh.

I jump over the arm of the couch and land awkwardly with my feet by his face and my back between him and the back of the couch.

" Can I have a bit of space? " I say after a few moments of being squished. He stands and I tumble off the couch.

He grabs my ankles and starts dragging me across the floor by my feet. He ignores my protests and drags me all the way to the stairs and threatens to pull me all the way up the stairs but I finally get out of his grip and I run to the other side of the room behind the couch and grab the bar of chocolate bar he was eating off the coffee table and I run down the hall and into my room and he follows.

" Stop! Stop! " I laugh as he pins me down on the bed.

He grabs the candy out of my hands and runs across the room and backs up against the wall as I stare him down.

I run and embrace him, he shrieks and I can't help but laugh.

: l i l l y :

I love him, but I don't see how this is going to work... I can't see how we can just start over and pretend that he didn't break my heart before... Austin was my first kiss and I gave everything I had to him... I want it to be like it was when we were together before... But I know in my heart that it'll never be like it was...
