--Back in Utah--

"WHAT THE FUCK AUSTIN?" I yelled with tears streaming down my face. Austin had another girl on his lap, kissing her when I walked inside. Austin looked at me, like someone had just died. I grabbed the vase off the counter and threw it onto the ground. It shattering in to pieces just like my heart. The girl got off his lap and stared at me with fear in her eyes. Her bangs fell in front of them and she looked away. I screamed and ran upstairs, locking the door and started to pack a bag.

"Fuckin bullshit..." I kept saying to myself. Austin was banging on the door, pleading me to open it up. I threw some of the last things I needed and unlocked the door. I stared into Austin's eyes that look like they have turned black.

"Fuck you." I spat and walked right past him.

"Ash, Let me explain, Please!" Austin said.

"YOU WANT TO FUCKING EXPLAIN WHY THE FUCK YOU WERE KISSING ANOTHER GIRL AND SHE WAS SITTING ON YOUR LAP, IN MY FUCKING HOUSE??!" I screamed. I pushed past Austin and ran down stairs. Something caught my attention. The picture. The picture of when me and Austin first met. I grabbed it, running my fingers over the glass that protected it. Austin stopped and watched me. I turned to him, a single tear dripping down my face. I raised the picture in my hand and slammed it down onto the ground.

"NO!" Austin yelled and ran to the glass surrounding my feet. He looked up at me, bag in my hand, tears running down my face.

"How long?" I asked.

"How long what?" Austin replied.

"How long have you BEEN FUCKING LYING TO ME?" I yelled.

"2 weeks." Austin mumbled.

I was so angry. All I wanted to do was leave, but something wanted me to stay. I looked at Austin with hate. He looked back at me, tears trickling down his face. He stared to move closer to me. I couldn't move. Austin cupped his hands to my face and kissed me. I backed up and hit him.

"YOU CAN'T JUST KISS ME AND THINK EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY!" I screamed. I grabbed my back and walked out of the house. I got into my car and cried. I called Ava and told her what happened.

"I'm going home."

"where Cali?"

"No I mean home. I'm going back to Indiana. Austin obviously isn't in love with me anymore..."

"No Ash, come stay with me and Adam. I promise that's a better decision then flying half way across the country."

"No. I can stay with my aunt or something. It's been years."

"I'm coming to Indy with you."

"No you're not. Stay with Adam."

"But Ash--"

I hung up the phone. I started my car and headed to the airport. Austin was texting me, begging to come back. I blocked his number.

I waited in the Airport for about 2 hours until my flight was called. I unblocked Austin and told him the last thing he would probably ever hear from me.

"Have fun with her. You love her more. I honestly can't believe you would lie to me. I'm going back home. Come visit one time if you feel the need to 'explain'. Just know, I will never stop loving you."

I felt my hands tremble as I pressed send.

Read 6:53 pm.

I stared to see spots as I walked to the terminal. A worker stopped me.

"Ma'am are you okay?" she asked.

Those were the last things before I saw black again.

"Mom where are you?" I asked. She suddenly started to float towards me. She cupped her hands to my face, just like Austin used to. I looked into her golden eyes.

"He doesn't love me..." I mumbled.

"Honey, I'm sorry. But I promise you will find your way back to him, and he will find his way back to you." She spoke softly.

"What do you mean? I'm never going to see him again." I said, raising my voice a little.

"Ashlyn, he gave you something. You will find out soon, but he gave you something amazing. Something you will love forever." She said.

I looked up seeing the light over come me. I hugged my mom as the light took me over again.

I looked around the room, only to find Austin.

"You had an episode..." he mumbled. He looked like he'd been crying. I shook my head and turned away from him.

"She is just a friend, She came and sat on my lap and started to kiss me..." he said. I laughed.

"Yeah and I didn't mean to almost die with Taylor." I spat. "Once I'm okay to leave, I'm going back to Indy. You're fucking crazy if you think I'm going to stay with you."

"Oh but that's a shame cuz' doctor wants you to stay with me for a month, watching your actions." he snoffed.

I rolled my eyes. I felt something hit my gut.

"Ash." Austin said, walking over to the bed. "I will never stop loving you either." And in that moment I knew.

I'm never going to forget him.
