Would You Mind? (A.P Fanfic)

Pact (40)

Danielle's P.O.V
Define the word Austin:
A sweetheart of a guy who can light up anyone's day in an instant. Austin is definitely the coolest guy out there and is easy going, easy to talk to, funny, and super cute. He's a little shy sometimes but insanely outgoing around his closest friends. He can make anyone laugh, and of course, knows how to treat a girl.

All of that is correct but the definition did not mention how an Austin acts when he is sad

The word sad is actually a complete understatement when referring to Austin Porter

Instead of sad, I mean a stage of depression

Which I pulled him into

But it's more like we made a silent pact that dragged both of us into that stage after the rough confrontation and breakup

I sat at the table Brandon and I were previously sitting at, tapping my foot on the ground nervously

I was staring at the table as my mind flipped its shit

My hands were beginning to sweat and I just felt like I couldn't get up, move, or do anything at all. Let alone speak

Grabbing me by the collar and forcefully pulling me out of my thoughts was the sound of the chair in front of me being dragged across the concrete to make space for a golden haired boy to sit down across from me

I looked up but I really wish i didn't

Hold back the tears

Hold back the tears

I've never seen Austin so... destroyed

His outfit was clearly dirty joggers, an old ripped shirt, and slides

His hair was pulled back into a extremely messy man bun because he still doesn't know how to do it well enough himself

His usual bags were dragged farther down on his face and were a couple shades darker than his pale skin

He seemed to be noticeably skinnier which reminded me of my previous actions

"H-Hello." I stuttered

Austin looked up from his lap at me; a cold and emotionless expression

"Hi." He said

"I... I don't really know where to start off other than I'm sorry." I said

"You shouldn't be the one apologizing here so stop." Austin replied in a shocking tone

"Sorry... I mean- ugh." I said, Throwing my head into my hands

"I, am sorry. I clearly cheated without even trying. I could've stopped myself but my dumb drunk self took control over my body even though my sober self was arguing with it. I guess I just missed you and wanted someone to satisfy the emptiness I felt without you. For now on, I know that I just have to fucking deal with it instead of doing something I would regret. Although, I don't even know if you still want a prick like me." Austin finished his speech with a sigh

"Austin." I said, causing him to look up at me

"Yes?" He asked, hope shining brightly in his eyes

"I love you, with all my heart. Although what you did was completely wrong, I just don't have the strength to leave you. I just can't. Even after pretty much starving myself and cutting off any communication with people outside of my room, I still forgive you even though I should hate you right now." I said to him

"Danielle, you can hate me. You can hit me. You can tell me that I'm a worthless piece of shit. Anything and I will still keep coming back to to you. I deserve all of that. I just... I just want you back." He said

At this point, Austin and I were both struck with tears

"I won't do any of that Austin. I just want your word that you will never hurt me like that again." I said

"I swear." He replied

Austin and I linked pinkies

He leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on my forehead

We unlinked pinkies and pushed our chairs out from under ourselves, standing up

I looked at Austin and noticed that his once slightly toned body was nothing but skin and bones

I slowly walked up to him and wrapped my arms loosely around his thin torso in fear that the blonde boy in front of me would fall to a million pieces with one wrong move
