"Come on mom! The school dance would be... fun" I lied to her so I can actually go to Austin's and watch a movie with him. She shook her head no while laughing. "Remember the last school dance I let you go to?" I slowly nodded my head understanding why she's saying no. "Mom please can I go? I promise I'll be fine, I swear. I'll have Austin with me and the rest of my friends ." I said to her as we both sat on the couch facing each other. "Ok fine, you can go" I squeal and start jumping up and down. "But you have to call me at the end of the dance so I can come pick you up." She says and I nod my head smiling widely. I run upstairs and text Austin telling him I can go. I drop my phone on my bed and walk over to my closet changing into some denim shorts and a black crop too that had small rips on from the car accident a while ago. I put on my white converses and just let my hair down naturally in its wavy state. I didn't do any makeup cause just why?. I grabbed my phone and left to Austin's.
*Knock, knock* I stepped back a little so I'm not that close to the door when it opens. I looked around seeing another car here, it was a black Jeep. Mhm. I knocked again and when the door opened I saw my worse nightmare. My bully's. Ethan and Grayson fucking Dolan. They used to be my best friends but in the middle of the year they turned on me for no fucking reason. "Wh-at are yo-o-u doing h-e-re?" I stuttered and Austin looked at me confused and I rolled my eyes at him. Ethan's eyes went wide when he saw me. Grayson's too. They both turn around and looked at Austin and pointed at me. "This is the girl you're talking about?" Ethan said and I was taken back. Why were they talking about me or some girl? Austin nodded his head and smiled and pulled me in past the twins and kissed me. We pulled away and I looked into Austin's eyes but he broke it. He looked at the twins and pushed them out and shut the door and I finally felt safe ... enough. "What the hell were they doing here?" I asked as calmly as possible. "Me and them have been friends for ever and they just wanted to come and say hi" my heart hurt. I'm probably gonna have to deal with them again. I looked down and Austin picked my head up with his index finger from under my chin. "What's wrong?"He asked but I ignored the question and we sat on the couch.
Later on, it's been like 20 min since I've been here and all Austin can talk about are the stupid twins. "His best friends" . I've faked my smile for that whole 20 min. None of those a smiles were real. Not even a little. He kept going on and on and on about them. I was finally sick and tired of listing to him. "Austin.." I said but he didn't hear me and kept talking. "OK! I GET IT! YOU LOVE YOURE BESTFRIENDS OK? I DIDNT COME HERE TO LISTEN ABOUT MY PAST BULLIES! AND THAT GIRL U WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT YOU GUYS BULLIED....that was me" he stopped talking and looked at me with his eyes wide at the last part. I wiped a warm tear off my cheek that I didn't know that was coming down until it tickled me. I grab my phone and walked out of his front door and started to walk home. Tears came down my face and I wiped them away and kept walking.
I got home and told my mom I just walked home because the dance was boring. I went up to my room and shut my door and flopped on my bed sighing. My phone kept going off like crazy, but everytime I checked it, it was from Austin. I ignored all of his texts, call, FaceTimes, dms on insta, snapchats, everything . I finally turned off my phone and plugged it in and took a small nap.
"Honey, dinner is done." I heard my mom while my eyes were still glued shut. I hummed in response and beard my door quietly shut. With my eyes still closed, I took the blanket off of me and sat up. I rubbed my eyes and opened them to see my phone next to me. I groaned and grabbed it, turning it on. Right as it turned on it started to go off with millions and millions of notifications. All from one person. Yep you guessed it. Austin. I rolled my eyes and put my phone in my pocket and headed downstairs for food. At the end of the stairs I looked up and saw what I never wanted to see again. Well at least until tomorrow or Monday. Austin. My mom smiled at me and my dad put a fake smile on. I glared at Austin and he put in a pouty face indicating that he was sorry. I rolled my eyes and I guess my dad caught on. "Honey what's wrong?" He asked me and I looked at him and back at Austin. "Nothing, just didn't know he was gonna be here" I said with a sass in my voice. "We can have him leave if you want honey, I mean we only invited him for you" my mom said to me and I smiled. "Oh please leave Austin, I wAnt family time." I smirked at him. He looked down with sadness all over his face. "Okay havah, What is going on? You Never want family time" my dad said and looked at me with a serious look. He points at Austin "did he hurt you babygirl?" I looked at Austin. "Yes... no... I mean maybe" my hands got clammy. My dad got up and walked towards me and in the middle of me and Austin. "What did he do?" He asked. "Uh...Dolan twins and the one kid I used to always tell u about?..Ya well he was that one kid... but-". Before I could finished my dad went over to Austin and punched him. "DAD"I yelled and ran over to Austin and fell of my knees right next to him making sure he was ok. Austin held his cheek and sat up. "Havah I don't want you with him, does he know that he hurt you badly and what you would do when u got -". I cut off my dad before Austin could hear what I would do when I got home every day I came home after school. "Dad! No! Don't tell him that!" I yelled at him but it was to late. Austin wanted to know, and my dad didn't care so he took him to his office and told him...everything. My mom held me in her arms.
Austin came out of my dads office with tears rolling down his face and his eyes were puffy and red. I got out of my moms grip and ran over to Austin to see if he was ok. He held my upper arms right under my shoulders. "Havah can we talk? Alone?" I nodded my head and we made our up to my room and I shut my door behind me. He sat down on my bed and I kneeled down between his legs. "Tell me, what's wrong ?" I told him and he started. "I made you cut? Hurt you're self? You almost died because of me?" More tears came out of his face and his eyes became more red. I felt my eyes water at his words and my tummy was doing back flips. My heart was braking at the sight of him crying. "Havah I hate myself for doing what I did to u. I broke you into pieces. You're family found trying to kill you're self because of me. I never want to do that to you. I don't want to hurt you. Scare you or anything." He kept going and kept crying. I cried at his words at the sight. "I love you Havah, but I don't want to hurt you again." "Austin please don't say it" I said as my voice cracked. He shook his head and held my face softly in his hands and I closed my eyes. I put my hands on his legs and reopen my eyes. "I swear I will NEVER hurt you again in my life, you mean everything to me" he said and I pulled him down by his neck slowly and kissed his soft, wet, plump cheeks. I pulled away and rested my forehead on his. He smiled and so did I. "Here, come on." I held my hand out for him to grab and we left back downstairs to see mom and dad quietly talking. They looked at us and started talking...
