Change; An Edwin Honoret Fanfiction

7

I decide against knocking on the front door of the prettymuch household, Edwin and I have a lot of unsaid words and I'd much prefer it if he didn't answer, so instead I text Austin

To Austin Porter - I'm at the front door, come open it subtly.

From Austin Porter - Coming :°

About a minute later the front door opens and Austin stands in front of me, on his tippy toes with a mask covering his face

"Aus-" I'm interrupted by him placing his hand over my mouth

"Shhh, subtly" he whispers

"I hate to break it to you, this isn't subtle" I laugh

He sighs and laughs whilst pulling off his mask "maybe, and maybe this is a bad first impression but it's whatever" he says, still whispering.

"Let's just go inside"

"Alright"

He leads me into the house, I can see Zion, Nick and Brandon sitting around a breakfast bar talking and laughing but my mind wonders to where Edwin is, maybe he is in his room and I'm overthinking it but from what his told me during our little bants he doesn't really go in there. We head up the stairs and he opens the second door on the right, I suppose it's his room.

It's decorated really well actually, photos of him, his girlfriend and all his friends were above his dresser and around his room he has little useful decorative pieces such as a shoe rack, a skateboard and a night lamp of Totoro.

"Its a little messy, I figured you wouldn't really care seeing as you're kind of known for being messy"

He isn't wrong, his room was a mess. He also wasn't wrong about the fact I don't care because I'm known for being messy, have you seen pictures of my room?

Probably not.

"Yeah it's all good" I reply as I sit on his bed, he comes over and sits next to me

"How are you doing, you know, since your breakdown?" I go to answer before he cuts me off "oh my god wait you don't have to answer that it's rude of me to ask and stuff, sorry"

I laugh "Austin really it's fine, and so am I. The guy cheated on me and I saw him with his tongue down the girls throat, I broke, that's all"

There is a very awkward silence before one of us dare to speak up, after that the conversation flows really well, we talk about his girlfriend, our careers and my funny experience with lesbian shit which, by the way, was platonic. I'm straight.

Not that being gay is a bad thing of course, aren't we all a little gay inside?

I'm kidding..

Sorta.

All with the conversation was good for about half an hour before I remember the question I had thought to myself beforehand

"Where's Edwin? I didn't see him with the boys"

Just as I say that I hear a female scream something that is inaudible, then a male voice that's all too familiar say something along the lines of "calm down"

"He's trying to get his... ex I suppose to leave him alone, she's very clingy and the whole you-and-him situation has her twisted. She wasn't really even his girlfriend or anything though, it shouldn't bother her at all"

"He said I wasn't causing any problems in his love life"

"He wasn't lying, if anything you've sped up the ever-long process of her leaving for good"

"What if she gets angry at me for being here?"

"We'll just stay in here I suppose, I invited you not him so she can't say anything. By the way, how are things between you and Edwin, you seemed very tense earlier"

I think about it for a second

"Okay I think, I found out a little about him and I suppose he isn't as bad as I had initially thought although I'm still not his biggest fan, I mean he can be a real douchebag"

Austin nods his head in agreement

"He cares about you though, he hides it but he does. I mean, he is my best friend and I've never seen him snap let alone swear, he is normally super zen, it was strange seeing him like that"

I look at him with shock across my face, why would Edwin allow himself to snap for me? Although, it's probably just for publicity just like he said. I tell Austin this, but then he informs me that when this whole thing played out Simon was on a plane to New York to deal with some Fifth Harmony breaking up drama so he couldn't have told him to come see me.

Firstly, I didn't even know Simon was in New York so I'm definitely the dumbest bitch out. Secondly, how did Edwin know I was at Venice Beach?

I'm so confused.

"Look, however he found out I was there and whatever reason he had to snap, I'm thankful. I may not like the kid but he really saved me out there"

"Why don't you like him? He hasn't given you any reason not to"

I think about it, and to be fair, Austin isn't wrong and Edwin wasn't wrong in the car either. Edwin has honestly been amazing, it's just this stupid grudge against the male population that was caused by Lucas.

"It's not that I don't like him I suppose, it's that I don't trust him because of the whole Lucas situation"

"I get it, you know before I dated Fiffany I told myself love doesn't exist because my ex cheated too, she broke my trust just like Lucas did to you"

"Really?"

"Yeah, she hurt me, and I decided to tell myself that we purely choose to believe in the idea of love, because without that, without believing in something, without believing in love, all we really have is a world full of hatred. I still agree with that, but only when it comes to society's definition of love, the love I feel for Fiffany is different. Don't let Lucas ruin love for you like she almost did for me, please" he practically begs

Wow, he really opened up to me like that. Suddenly my respect for Austin has multiplied by about 1,000,000.

"I'll try" is all I manage to say, wow 10/10 Abigail he opens up to you and that's all you can say

"Thank you" he says as he opens his arms, motioning for me to hug him. I do so as a way to show gratitude for him opening up because truth be told I really am thankful

Just as we're about to pull away from one another the door opens

"I can't do it she's a psychopat-" I turn to be met with Edwin's eyes, they widen as he realises that he is looking at Austin hugging me and not Fiffany

"Hey"

"Hi"

And with that Edwin walks away

"You know I'm just going to let myself out, thanks for today though, I really appreciated it"

"You're.. welcome?"

I flash him a smile before walking down stairs, but before I can leave Zion opens the door to a face I didn't want to see for a long time.

My mother.
