Save Me

Chapter Thirty Five

~Minnie P.O.V~

Everything hurts.

But my heart hurts the worst. These pass five months without Justin is completely killing me. Every time I here a slight bang or a creak it think it's him sneaking up on me and ready to hug me and tell me it's gonna be alright.

I feel empty without him. Why'd he leave me? After nearly a year of a relationship together, he got up and fucking left me. In a way I kinda expected it. He didn't seem happy with having to protect me and always worrying about me. I tried to give him the things that he needed. All I could give him was all the love in my heart. Apparently it wasn't enough.

I never expected it to hurt so badly though. For my heart to feel like it's been ripped out my chest and burned in front of my eyes. I wonder if he's hurting half as bad as I am. Nope.. I highly doubt it. He left me through a fucking voicemail! He doesn't care about me.

I should hate him.

I should burn every memory of him.

I should forget him.

But my heart can't. My heart cries out for him and I hate it. I just wanna forget him.

I got up from my bed and slipped on Justin's big black sweater and some sweats. I'm completely torturing myself with his smell that's coming off his sweater. I put on my black low top nikes and tied up my hair in a messy bun. I grabbed my book bag and walked towards the door. I opened the door to be greeted by Austin. I pulled him into a hug. He wrapped his arms around my waist and held me tight.

He's use to this by now. Comforting me. He's been there since the beginning.

"Ready to go?" He asked, pulling away. I nodded. Austin helps take my mind off of things. Sometime it works and sometimes it doesn't. I sighed and walked towards his car. He got in and we drove to school.

I stared out the window.

I miss Justin so much.

~Justin P.O.V~

"You've been depressed." Dest spoke, as I sat down on the couch looking through my phone. I sighed and looked at her. She looked worry.

"For the last time I'm fine. Okay? Some girl isn't gonna ruin me. I can practically have whoever I want." I rolled my eyes at her.

'But you don't want just any one..' My thoughts screamed at me. I shook away that thought. "She's not just some girl. You're dying to call her. You're dying to go back to Brooklyn and to hug her and make sure she's okay!" Dest's voice got really stern. Geez! She sounds like Mom.

"Destenei you make me sound like a fucking fruitcake. So what if I care about her still I'm doing this to make her safe! So just butt out of my love life. I'm 21 I can handle it myself!" I said through clenched teeth, trying to contain my anger. She huffed standing up. "Justin Drew, for one, I don't like to be called Destenei our sperm donor game me that name! Two, you are a fucking fruitcake when it comes to love cause you love hard! You'll do anything for the person you love! And three, I'm Dest asking me to butt out of something is simply just inviting me more into it! So suck it up!" She practically yelled at me.

I stood up and put my hands on her shoulder. "I don't love her." I simply spoke with no emotion. My heart nearly crushed at those words. Dest's eyes grew sad. "So please don't worry about her no more." I continued, and walked to my room. I closed my door and unlocked my phone. A picture of Minnie and I together. I miss her. I miss her so fucking much. Five months is too long. I know she hates me. The way I left her was completely messed up.

I sighed and took off my shirt. I laid down and stared at the ceiling.

I pulled out my phone again and dialed Kayla's number.

"Took your ass long enough." She picked up after the third ring.

"Just come over to my place now." I said taking off my shoes.

"With pleasure." She giggled hanging up.

I need to get my mind off of things.

Sex. Is the best way to do it.

I put my books in my locker sighing.

I feel really empty.

"Wanna hang out?" I jumped at the sound of Austin's voice behind me. I turned and looked at him.

"I didn't mean to scare you." He smiled a little. I nodded and closed my locker. I grabbed Austin's arm and walked to his car with him. Austin owned a black Prius. I climbed in and buckled my seatbelt.

"Let's go to your place. We can watch movies and just have a relaxing afternoon." He suggested starting the car. I nodded in agreement. I'm happy he suggested this over going out. I'm trying to get over Justin but it's best if I start small.

Once we arrived at my apartment that Justin bought for me and also decided to pay 5 years rent in advance on it. Austin and I went to my room with chips and soda. We decided to settle for Grown Ups 2 cause I wasn't in the mood for romantic movies.

Halfway through the movie Austin laid down next me. I grabbed his arm cuddling with him. He was use to this by now. It really didn't seem to bother him. Austin doesn't really have a girlfriend which confuses me cause I mean come on! He's fucking hot with an amazing personality! Who wouldn't want that? I looked up at him as his eyes focused on the screen. His warm hazel/green eyes, pink lips, beautiful jaw line and just perfect hair..

NO!

I'm not falling for my best friend.

"You still hungry?"

I just stared at him.

"Hello! Boo!" That snapped me out of it. The name Austin's been calling me since 7th grade. 'Boo'. I know that name sounds like a cheap nickname that a boyfriend would call a girlfriend or vise versa. But Austin hasn't called me Boo in a long time.

"Yes?" I smiled softly. He chuckled, pulling me closer to him, "You hungry?" He asked again. I shook my head no, laying down more.

After two movies I was tired.

"You're staying. I don't wanna be alone." I said pulling Austin back down to my bed. He nodded, not questioning me. I cuddled up to his side.

"I love you, Austin. You're my best friend forever." I grabbed hand intertwining our fingers.

"Love you too." He said sleepily.

"I really love you." Tears were

beginning to form in my eyes.

Austin is all I have left.
