"You don't have to answer." I looked up, realizing I was facing downwards and that I haven't said anything since his question. "No, no. I want to answer just give me a second." I said and he nodded I breathed in then out, let's hope I don't start crying.
"I was maybe around thirteen when I had my first boyfriend. His name was Erick. Our relationship was the most popular at school. We bragged it to everyone." I said and smiled a little remembering. "He was sweet, woke me up every morning to an adorable text, we always said that if he treated me like a queen I would make him my king and vise versa,
One day his dad took him to his soccer game. They were on their way back when a drunk driver hit their car on the same side Erick's dad was sitting in. His dad died right away and Erick was transferred to the hospital." A tear slipped down my cheek and I quickly wiped it. I looked at Asutin and he was paying attention. He rubbed soothing circles into my hand making me go on. "Erick made me promise that I would find someone new to love. To give a guy a chance. So I did. It was Erick's brother, John.
He reminded me so much of Erick except for how demanding and bad he treated me. My friends told me to get out before he would become abusive and I tried. He said that if I was to break up with him he would kill me and then kill himself. I was thirteen, I didn't know what to do. I stayed with him. Then came- then came the day I was tired and I broke up with him. I broke up with him through the phone, just to stay away from him.
He yelled at me. He said that Erick's death was my fault. That if I wouldn't have convinced him to play he would've never died. Then John said that his death would lay on my hands too." I took a sharp breath, suddenly being out of breath. "Everyone then began blaming me for their deaths, even his mom! She said that before I appeared John and Erick were bestfriend but as I soon as I entered their life they were enemies. I began thinking and I noticed that everything they all said was true." I whsipered the last part and I felt Austin's strong arms embrace me and I laid there.
"It wasn't you-" I shook my head. "Don't try convincing me, what's in my head is already in. I just don't want to hurt you. That thought is what drives me crazy. It's what makes me want to stay away from you. I can't though, you're making me fall for you more and more every second." I said and he smiled a little. "You make me fall in love with you more and more every second too plus, you can't hurt me, I'm a grown man." He teased a little and I smiled. "Sure you are." I muttered and pecked his lips.

We were back at my house and walking up to my door. "You have a good time?" He asked and I laughed. "The only part I enjoyed was getting to spend time with you, everything else? Horrible." He shrugged. "Same here. Try again next Friday?" I raised my eyebrows. "The Austin is asking me, Alma Marsha out for the second time?" I asked and he blushed a little. "So is that a yes...?" He asked and I smiled. "Ofcourse." I said with a small chuckle.
"Great! See you." He came up to me, kissed my lips quickly and then ran off. I smiled and entered my house. I heard barking and Lola came running towards me. "Hey girl!" I said and pet her. "She ripped my shirt!" Xander came in shirtless with a ripped shirt. Lola hid behind me and I chuckled. "You have millions of shirts, one ripped doesn't hurt." I said and skipped to my room humming. "Why so happy?" Danielle and Xander walked into my room. "You know how I was scared to love?" I asked mostly directed to Xander. "Austin is making that fear leave bit by bit. I'm falling deeper and deeper in love with him every minute I'm with him." I sighed and they laughed. "Same here! Marcus is just so sweet!" Danielle said with a small squeal. "Well I've been in love she just makes me feel the way I felt the first day I saw her! My heart begins to race, I get nervous and there's this weird feeling in my stomach. Then to add to all of that she has a baby, my child growing inside of her!" Xander says and I smile. Lola barks four times as if to add something which made us all laugh together. "You love someone too girl?" Danielle asked Lola and she simply wags her tail and rolls around.
Everything is finally falling into place, everyone is happy, my siblings are in a relationship so am I, No one found out about Danielle's birthday just like she wanted, mom and dad's wedding is in a few weeks. Everything perfect. "How long have we been on this roller coaster?" Danielle asked referring to all the events that have happened. "Well if I arrived a month and a half ago and you guys already were with each other for a month that means it's two in a half, almost three months." Xander answered. "In our whole roller coaster three months have passed. It seemed shorter." I muttered and the nodded. "Well, I'm tired goodnight girls." Xander got up kissed our foreheads and got out my room. "I should go to bed too." Danielle yawned and hugged me then left. "Well Lola, let's go to sleep." I smiled and she jumped on my bed and laid besides me. I turned off the lamp besides me and as soon as I rested my head against my pillow I was consumed by dream less sleep.
