Persistence

Chapter Nine - Console.

The loud thud at your door was only getting louder and faster. You thought by acting as if you wern't in would make them think that you really were out. But it didn't, It just made them a lot more angry. 

Creeping towards your door, trying to be as quiet as you could be you finally reached the door. Placing one eye against the door your body was shaking. Outside there was a tall man. Part of you sighed with relief. However you were angry at Austin and didn't want too see him. "What do you want, Austin!" you screamed. "Please, let me in to speak to you please, Summer." Rolling your eyes you reluctantly opened the door.

Austin walked straight in with a worried look on his face. "What on earth, Summer. What's happened? Are you okay?" Austin was asking question after question then you snapped "It's all because of you someone wants too kill me!" Straight after you said that you put your hand over you mouth and said "Oh no... What have I just done, Fuck". Austins face was confused. He placed both his hands on your shoulders and pulled you in for a hug. You flinched at the slightest touch he gave you. His hugs felt amazing, warm, kind and for once gentle. You hadn't had a hug like this in a long time. Then Austin asked "You need too tell me what's going on, I'm here for you I won't let anyone hurt you I promise." You looked at Austin and just knew you had to tell someone you had been keeping it in for two long years now. Finally you took a deep breath and told Austin to take a seat, In which he did and that's when you began too talk".

"Don't freak out, and Promise not to tell a soul". Austin promised he wouldn't tell a soul and you believed him. "Okay so this sounds kinda weird considering I've known you like the whole of two days. But basically i've been with this boy called Matt for two years now and he is very abusive". As you were telling your story your eyes were filling him. Austin reached across the table and rubbed your elbow telling you it is okay. So you carried on with your story. "He calls me a lot of names and physically abuses me. That bruise you saw on my leg wasn't from my desk." Austin quickly interrupted you. "It was from him wasn't it?!" You nodded in embarrassment when Austin added "I will fucking kill him." Cutting in you carried on your story "I told him about this job and told him I had to leave too come here and he said he would kill me. And trust me Austin he means it. I didn't mean to swear at you I was angry and upset and you wern't the person I should have took that out on and for that I am truly sorry. Matt said you tagged a picture of what hotel I'm in and Austin he is on his way, I know the way his mind works he is coming for me. I'm so scared". With that you broke down in hysterical tears. Austin walked around to your side of the table and lifted you up by your arms and pulled you in for a tight hug. His hugs felt like nothing you had felt before so warm and gentle and you knew you were safe in his arms. "He won't hurt you I promise, I will never let him hurt you. I didn't think about it being a problem I am so sorry for this, It's all my fault". You quickly interrupted Austin, "In no way shape or form is this your fault, It's all mine for being with such a douche". As you pulled away from Austin's arms you moved too the couch because you didn't feel very stable on your feet. Of course Austin followed and sat next to you with his arm tucking you into his chest and stroking your hair.

You must have fallen asleep because Austin was playing with your hair. You woke up startled only to hear Austin's voice reassuring you, "Shh, Shh, Summer. It's okay. It's just me". So relieved to hear his voice you said "I'm so sorry for all of this, you don't wanna hear this kind of crap. You must have to be somewhere or something?" Austin answered honestly "Well I did have plans but they can be put on hold I'm staying with you. You can't be left like this by yourself. What sort of friend would I be if I just left you?" smiling you stated too Austin "You're one of a kind, Thank you so much". 

Austin decided that you should pick a movie for you both too watch. Of course you picked the Little Mermaid as Ariel was your favourite Disney princess. It wouldn't matter what movie it was considering it was Disney. You absolutely loved everything Disney. "Sorry it's not a manly film, Austin but I love my Disney". You let out a chuckle. By your surprise Austin said he also loves Disney, even the Disney princesses. You both sat down and watched the movie.
