We Met Because Of Death

Fight or Hide

( Haylee's part)

I lay on the grass stareing up at the stars. With everything that had happened today it was just hard to not feel the weight of things. Austin has been quiet since his mom had showed up. She just had to fuck up everything didn't she? I look over at him, his back leans against the tree, his eyes closed. He looked so lost, who knew what was on his mind. Probably planning the murder for his mom.
" Close to it!" I hear Brittany laugh in my head. I sign I was gonna have to fix this. I sit up laying my hand on his leg. He opens his eyes and looks at me. I feel my heart skip when I see a warm smile grow on his face.
" My Day!"
I smile at my nickname, he scoots down to me and wraps his arm around me. We both lay down staring at each other. I run my fingers up and down his arm. Everything was quiet and it was a perfect night.
" Are you feeling okay?"
" To be honest I'm not sure, everything with her showing up it's just messing with my head."
" I hate her."
" Everyone does, but you stood up for me again, thank you."
" No one gets away with treating my mom and you like that. What's her deal anyways?"
" I don't know baby."
His voice becomes soft and a hint of sadness lays in his words. I move so I can straddle his lap. He looks up at me laying his hands on my thighs.
" Hey don't worry about them alright? You're mom is just a bitch. Besides she's missing out if she was smart she would see how great you and you're brothers are. Did you see Will? Mr.big bad with his greasy hair?"
He chuckles, sitting up to lay a kiss on my lips. I deepen the kiss and run my hands down his back. He lays his hands on my hips and pulls me down onto the grass. He kisses down my jaw and nibbles on my neck causing me to sigh. His hands slid under my shirt , I shiver from his touch. I pull my shirt over my head allowing him to kiss my skin even more. His lips travel to the top of my breast, and softly scrapes them with his teeth. I moan and tug at his pants. He sits up to allow me to unbutton his jeans and he pulls them down. For a moment it's all a blur of clothes being taken off and skin on skin. He moans into my ear making me let out a deep breath. His movements quicken and I match mine with his. I call out his name and bite on his shoulder.
" Fuck Haylee!"
Time seems to go by slowly although I couldn't complain. The feelings he sends through me, his kisses that seem to burn into my veins. His whispers in my ear were enough to make me tilt my head back, pulling at patches of grass. When it all stops all that I can hear is the beating of our hearts. I let out the last few moans, which he covers with his lips. He rolls over taking me with him. I lay on his chest breathless, his fingers run up and down my back. I lift my head to look up at him , he has a small smile on his face and he stares up at the stars.
" I love you Austin."
" I love you too Day, you don't even know just how much."

We walk hand and hand back to the house. My legs ached and I was tired but I didn't want this night to end. Austin wraps his arm around me as we walk inside. We all say goodbye to everyone and head to our apartment. Lately we had been staying out My old house or his but since Austin's birthday was tomorrow, I told him we should just go home tonight. Dave and Mom were planning the party and I didn't want him to see it yet. Especially since Dave was going to be getting my present for him early in the morning.
I lean my head against the window and watch the trees pass by until they become a blur.
" Did I tire you out?"
I look over at Austin who's not bothering to hide the smirk on his face. I roll my eyes with a grin  and lay my head back down.
" Sure whatever makes you feel better bud."
He laughs and intwines his hand with mine. I close my eyes and  feel myself begin to drift. When I open my eyes I'm laying in bed next to a sleeping Austin. I sit up and look over at the clock 3:45am. I lay back down and rest against his back. Feeling his breath rise and fall. I'm just about to fall asleep when I hear a noise. My heart jumps and I sit up looking at the door. There was a crack of light shining from under the door. I look at down at it breathing heavy. Calm down Haylee it's just really early and you're tired. Just lay back down this probably isn't even real. I close my eyes and open them back up. I hear a creak on the floorboards somewhere in the living room. Max!
" Haylee wake Austin now!"
Is this a nightmare? What the fuck is going on?
" Wake up Austin! You're not dreaming Haylee, now hurry."
I feel myself start to panic, what if they we're going to hurt us? Could it be the people who killed Max? I shake Austin awake, he sits up and looks at me dazed.
" Austin someone's in the house!"
His eyes widden and he climbs out of bed. We both stay still, stareing at the door until I see a shadow from under the door. I feel my heart race, Austin quietly walks over to the closet and pulls out his old hunting gun. No this couldn't be happening not to us! Not now! What if something happens to him? I stand up as Austin opens the door just a crack.
" Haylee Austin wants you to hide!"
No I'm not hiding I don't want him to get hurt!
" Haylee please hid I don't want you to get hurt. Please!"
I can't Max I can't lose him too!
I walk over to Austin and stand close behind him. He looks at me and slips his phone into my hand. We hear another board creak closer than before causing me to quickly dial 911. My voice wavers when they answer. What if they hear me? Did they have a weapon?
  " Hello? What's you're emergency?"
  " Someone is in our house."
" Alright I need you to tell me you're address."
I quickly say our address and turn to see Austin walking down the hall, with the gun ready. My heart races and I quietly walk to the door frame. Afraid to let him out of my sight. My heart stops when he looks around the  corner.

I jolt up and look around the room. I panic and thrash around.
  " Austin! Austin no!"
I feel hands grab me and I kick and shove. No I couldn't let them get me, I had to save him! The hands wrap around me tighter and I scream.
  " Haylee! Baby stop it's me!"
I stop and look up, it was Austin. Brown hair, brown eyes, warm skin it was Austin! I throw myself into his chest and start to cry.
  " Shh it's okay Day, I'm here baby it's alright. Nothing will hurt us I promise!"
