Carlie's POV

I just stood there shocked. What the hell did he just say? He told me to get out...he practically told me he didn't want me anymore. I felt my face get hot and I knew I was gonna start to cry any second, but I tried to hold it in. I didn't want to show that I was weak and that what he said hurt me. I didn't want to turn around because I came here for a reason, but at the same time I wanted to run away and never see anyone ever again.

Instead I just took another step towards Austin. He heard my footsteps, I knew that, but he didn't turn to face me again and he didn't say anything else. I kept walking towards him until I was just inches from him. I curved around him so I was in front of him and he was looking directly at me. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. His face was right I front of me and I could see him more clearly. His eyes were red and puffy and he looked like he didn't get a lot of sleep last night. His beautiful hazel eyes had a depressed look to them and he wasn't smiling....at all. Overall he looked awful, he looked like he had a lot on his mind and that my presents just made him even more upset.

I really just wanted to kiss him right now.. I stepped closer to him and he didn't budge. I leaned in closer and that's when he took a step back. Austin whispered lowly, "stop...I can't do this..I-I'm sorry" he ran his fingers through his dark, wavy hair, then turned away and walked back toward the door. His words broke me, but this time they didn't make me want to cry...it made me pissed.

I started walking after Austin and followed him into the house. He was just about to go into a small room at the end of the hall when I caught up to him and turned him around. "What the hell Austin? You really think you can tell me you want me back then leave me like that. Like, I don't care if couldn't remember at first, but I sure as hell know that you can remember now. If you don't want me anymore you could at least tell me to my face instead of being a complete asshole and putting me through this hell. I've been going through this shit for days and you really don't care do you? God, I'm such an idiot." I said with tears streaming down my face and running my hair through my wavy hair.

"I should have listened to Anthony...I should have never even came..." I trailed off. Then I recognized the look on Austin's face. "Anthony? Why the hell did you come with Anthony?" Oh my god...was he really asking me this. He's the one who should be answering the questions not me. "Yah Austin I did. And why do you care?" I muttered uninterested, even though I really did want an explanation. "Look Carlie... Anthony May be here with you now but he's not always going to be and I wou-"

"Are you serious? Your the one who left. Why the hell would you even put Anthony in that situation when he did nothing wrong!" I yelled clearly pissed off. Then Austin started speaking just as loud, maybe even louder. "Holy shit Carl. This is what I was talking about that first day of school, you never let me finish what I saying. I was trying to tell you how I feel and you cut me off like you always do. You're falling more and more for him when you should be falling for me!" He sighed loudly then started speaking a little bit lower. "Carlie....I just don't want you to get close to him....he's keeping a lot more secrets than you think, and he's not as 'sweet and innocent' as you think either. He has secrets like the rest of us, and he's just....just be careful with him around....that all I can say." He shook his head and turned to go back into the room.

What was he talking about? What kind of secrets can Anthony have? I opened the door to the room and surprisingly Austin was still standing there silently like he was lost in thought. Usually I wouldn't interrupt someone who was in a state like Austin...but I had to. I put my hand on his shoulder and he turned to face me slowly a little shocked I didn't just leave him and go back to Anthony. Austin's face was still showing signs of depression and I could sense he felt hurt that I was getting close to Anthony, but why? Did it have something to do with this secret? I needed to know. I had to ask....

"Austin.. I need you to know that..that I'm not falling for him. Only you, but I-I just need to know, what's his secret..what's he not telling me?" I asked with a slight puppy dog face. He looked up into my eyes and I saw a slight smile form when he saw my face, but then he went serious again. "Why don't you ask him yourself" he said while pointing in the direction behind me.

I turned around and Anthony was standing right behind us... "How long have you been standing there...I mean, how much did you hear?" I asked a little worried although I didn't know why.

"All of it...."
