Friend Zoning Austin Mahone

Chapter 14

~Austin~

+ + + +

I thought for a moment, trying to remember the last time I had seen Stella. She definetly wasn't this messy and exhausted-looking. Her hair was in a ponytail, she had on a long-sleeved white tee shirt, jeans, and Converse sneakers. The normal Stella would be dressed in flashy, expensive clothes. What the heck happened too her? I was beyond confused. Stella's once vibrant brown hair was now washed out and shaggy. It was like a whole different person.

"Stop staring, Mahone." She hissed, covering her face with her bag.

"Sorry." I murmured sheepily, turning my focus to something else. Like Amelia crying her eyes out on the floor, while Zach attempted to comfort her.

"Come on Mel, calm down, its just Stella." He said, holding her too his chest. Amelia let out a muffled, strangled respond. Zachary sighed, then swore under his breath.

"If your that annoyed with my crying that you have to swear, leave me alone, Dorsey." She said, gently shoving away from her.

"Stop being a loser and maybe I won't curse so much." He replied, rolling his eyes. She laughed, then punched him on the arm. Amelia stood too her feet, then rushed too her best friend, enveloping her in a bear hug.

I swear my heart melted.

They both were sobbing, and saying chocked out things I couldn't comprehend.

"Where the hell were you?" Mel asked.

"I told you like a million times, I was in Maine."

"Why?"

" A family vacation! Do you even listen when I talk?"

"Not really..."

Stella laughed then playfully hit Amelia. "Good too have you back, Miss Amelia."

"Same too you, Miss Stella."

My phone buzzed in my back pocket. I yanked it out to see a text from Hunter :

- IS AMELIA THERE??

I hesitated to respond to the text, then I finally answered:

-Yeah. And why in caps?

- Oops, tell her I'll be over in a minute.

"Hunter said he'll be here soon." I said, tapping Mel on the arm so she'd acknowledge me.

She turned to me, a little blush creeping into her cheeks. "Seriously? Why didn't he just text me?"

I shrugged. "You like him a lot, huh?"

"Why'd you ask?"

"You're blushing like an idiot, and all I did was mention his name."

She just grinned back. "Shut up, Austin."

We carried on casual conversation, asking Stella questions about her vacation.

"Yo, Amelia, let's go please." Hunter said, poking his head into the living room, from outside the front door.

Rude.

"Um, okay. But I wanna stay because my friend-" Amelia stopped short in her sentence when she say Hunter's expression. He looked both annoyed and angry. She turned back to Stalla. "Can you sleepover? I'll be back in a few hours."

"Sure, I guess I can sleep here tonight. I'll just text my Mum-"

Amelia never heard the rest of Stella's sentence, because she was already out of the door.

"Hunter is such a rude little shit like how dare he just steal my best friend from me." Stella grumbled from across the tabel at McDonalds. "Is he always like that?"

"Not really.He's rather nice, actually." Robert replied, squeezing ketchup onto his fries. "But I don't like the way he basically shouted at Amelia, like what the hell dude calm the fuck down."

"I guess he was just rushing somewhere." I suggested.

"Why are you defending him? You of all people?" Stella huffed in her usual sauscy voice.

I shrugged. "I'm not defending him, I'm just saying he may have been rushing."

"Also, Austin's defending Hunter cause he has a heart, which you obviously dont." Zach stated.

Stella rolled her eyes."Oh shut up, Zach."

They continued to agrue, making snide comments and raising their voices with every sentence.

"Yo Justin and Selena, cool it, you two are making a scene." Alex whisper-shouted.

I thought for a moment, trying to figure out why I was defending Hunter. He isn't my favorite person and I can easily admit I hate him. Maybe, I had just said it to make it seem like I could actually stand him. I wondered what Mel and Hunter are doing? It sucked to know that she could possibly be falling hard for him right now. Or even worse falling in love with him. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to erase that thought from my head. But it was permantly etched in my mind.

" Austin are you listening?' Alex inquired.

"Um. No not really." I answered.

"I said, 'Don't you have a meeting in a couple minutes?' "

I jumped up. "Crap,yes! I gotta go!" I grabbed my keys then rushed out of McDonalds, only to be greeted by paparazzi.

I usually don't mind, but right now, I needed to get out of here now. How did they even know I was here?! Not a single person in McD's had noticed that I was there, and no one asked for autographs or pictures or anything.

I wove through the paparazzi, ignoring questions, and pushing past photographers. When I finally got into my jeep, I breathed out a sigh of relief, pulled myself together, then attempted to pull out of the parking lot.

I glanced in the rearview mirror at the the few photographers that were chasing my Range, banging on the windows. I quickly sped out of the lot, a little headache settling in.

The meeting was scheduled for four o'clock, and and it was already a quarter to five.

Shit.
