Pinky Promise

16

Posted: May, 20 2017

Hi, I apologize for the long wait, it was a very busy month for me. But my last day of school was yesterday so I'm officially done with high school. 

The only things I have coming up, are on the 24th, and 30th of this month and the 1st, 3rd-10th and 30th of next month. 

So, I hope you enjoy this and I apologize for it being so short.

16.

"Tommie" I hear a voice say from the other side of my door, followed by a light knock. I groan and rub my eyes, sitting up in bed "Tommie" They say again and I sigh, getting out of bed and opening the door. 

"What do you want?" I ask Austin, and he pouts "Just because Jesse left  doesn't mean I'm going to talk to you" I cross my arms over my chest. Jesse had left yesterday, wanting to see his family before he had to go back to school. 

"Tommie, I just want to talk to you, I miss when we were closer. I know it was all on me, but I'm really trying to fix this" He frowns. I sigh heavily, and open my door, allowing him to walk into my room. He sits down on the edge of my bed, and pulls his knees to his chest. 

"Can you explain to me why you decided to try and fix this as 4 o'clock in the morning?" I ask, laying down in bed, turning on my side. 

"I couldn't sleep, and didn't want someone to interrupt" He shrugs. He hesitantly lays down beside me, turning on his side to face me "I'm really sorry Tommie, I know I've said it a million times, but I truly am, I'm an asshole, and I'm scared and I don't know what to do" 

"Why are you scared?" I ask.

"Because I l-" He clears his throat "Because I don't want to lose you, you're my everything" He wraps an arm around me and pulls me into his chest "You're the only one I trust. Please don't hate me, please" He begs, burying his face into my neck. 

I start to feel guilty as he cries into my neck, whimpering how he doesn't want to lose me. I've never seen him like this and it truly breaks my heart. 

"I'm sorry" I whisper "I didn't mean to make you feel that way" I hug him tightly, kissing the top of his head "You know you're my world. I'm not going anywhere, it's you and me, remember?" 

He only nods against my chest, and I sigh "I pinky promise, okay?" I hold out my pinky and he links his through mine. 

"Can I stay here?" He asks "I don't want to leave" 

"Yeah, you can" I nod, and he sighs in relief, cuddling more into my chest, pulling the blanket above him. He falls asleep in minutes, but I can only lay awake, my mind being flooded with questions on why he's acting like this, and how long it's gonna last. 

The next morning when Austin wakes up, he rests his chin on my shoulder, looking up at me "Hi" He says quietly. 

"Hi" I smile slightly. 

"Sorry I stole all the blanket" He chuckles. 

"It's okay, I'm used to it by now" I grin. 

"I uh, I ask Angie to leave... well more like told her" He mumbles "I knew she bothered you, and if I want to fix this I knew she'd have to go" 

"I'm not sure what to say..." I trail off.

"Don't worry about it, you don't have to say anything" He shakes his head, sitting up, and rubbing his eyes "Can we go get some breakfast?" He asks "I'm sure Betty misses us" 

"Oh, I miss Betty" I gush, and he chuckles.

"I'm going to go change, and I'll meet you downstairs" He smiles, and gets out of my bed, leaving a kiss on my cheek before walking out of my room to go change. 

I change quickly, and put my messy hair up, walking down the steps and sitting on the couch waiting for Austin. 

When he comes down the steps, and stops and motions for me to come on, and I follow him out of my house. I walk towards his car and get into the passenger seat while he gets into the drivers seat, and sit quietly until we pull up to the small diner. 

When we walk in, we sit at our usual table in the corner, memories of Austin and I coming here after school during high school coming to mind. 

"Oh my, if it isn't my favorite two teenagers" Betty gasps, walking up to us. 

"Well, we're not teens anymore" Austin chuckles, standing up to hug her. I hug her after Austin and she shakes her head.

"Y'all are growing up so fast, I can't believe it" 

"Tell me about it" I chuckle. 

"Well, what can I get y'all to eat?" She asks "The same thing as usual?"  

"Yeah" We both nod, and she smiles, telling us she'll be right back. 

The rest of breakfast Austin and I reminisce and laugh about old memories, and it makes me wonder how we ended up where we are. We used to be so inseparable and now it's like we can't even be in the same room without an argument. 

"Those were the days" He sighs. 

"I know" I nod in agreement.

"I wish we could go back. I miss when we were us" He mumbles, looking down at his nearly empty place. 

"Me too"
