My First Love

Being Apart

So I decided not to go on tour with Demi. I want to but I much rather stay here with Austin.

I am about to go for a run with Austin in like 20 minutes so I am going to play my guitar for a little bit and then get ready.

*15 minutes later*

I slipped on my black running shoes and but on a black tank top with dark blue ankle laggings. Put my hair up in a pony tail leaving my bangs hanging in front of my face.

(door bell goes off)

I opened the door and it was Austin

"Hey you ready?"

He was wearing his favorite white t-shirt with black basket ball shorts. And of course running shoes.

"Yeah let me just get a water bottle, come in."

Austin nodded and came inside.And sat on the kitchen counter.

"Where is your aunt?"

"She went out partying last night around 2 and hasn't come back."

"Are you worried?"

"Hell no, She is a grown woman she can do what ever the hell she wants."

I paused to take a sip of my water.

"And even if something bad happens to her it's her fault. She is the one that got herself in the mess she is in she can get herself out."

"Wow you have a ruff side!"

"You didn't notice that like one minute after you met me?"

"Well yeah I did but never like this."

He gave me a gentle kiss on my cheek.

"Wait"

"What?" I was concerned for a second till I saw the smile on his face.

"If I got myself into trouble would you help me?"

"Naw. You're the guy here you have to stay out of trouble!"

"Uh! So you would just leave me alone to die!?!?!"

"Yep!"

He just started tickling me and when I got out of his grip he looked down at me and said the sweetest words ever.

"You look so beautiful."

"I look ugly I am not even wearing makeup!"

"You have natural beauty you don't need makeup" I felt my cheeks heating up.

"You're not so bad your self." I said playfully punching his shoulder.

"We should go now..."

"What ever you say Jem!"

I ran out the front door motioning him outside. Then quickly locked the door. We started running and we didn't say anything until we stopped at our first stop to drink water.

"I have something to tell you."

He sounds sad... Crap this isn't good.

"Okay what is it?"

"We both sat down on a bench and he put his left hand over my right hand gently squeezing it.

"My mom is going to California and I have no choice but to go."

"How" I paused with a lump in my throat I don't want to be away from Austin for more than a couple hours so this is probably going to be really hard. "How long are you going to be gone?"
