Lucky People 💚 Awsten Knight

Chapter Fifteen: Are You Okay, Awsten?

"Awsten? Awsten are you okay?" Dad said when he knocked on my bedroom door. I sighed, then screamed into my pillow. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I didn't want to speak to anyone besides her.

I grabbed my phone off my bedside table, checked for any notifications, but only came up with one's from Geoff and Otto. I tossed my phone across the room, covering my head with my blanket. What did I do wrong?

I kept on replaying what happened over and over in my head. When I did I chose the wrong dialogue option, when did I fuck it all up? Why did she run away?

I started to cry again. Again. Again again again. My heart was breaking. I didn't know what to do. Otto wouldn't know, neither would Geoff. My dad? Probably. But did I want to talk to him? No. But who could I talk to?

I got out of my blanket cave and got my phone. It wasn't cracked, luckily. I unlocked it and called Dallon's phone number, sitting on the bed.

Dallon's phone rang and he looked at the caller ID number. He looked over at Liam, who was still crying. He answered the phone, stepping out of his sisters room.

"Hello?" He asked, even though he knew who it was. "H-Hi Dallon." Awsten spoke. His voice was shaking. He knew that Awsten had been crying.

"Hey Awsten, are you okay?" He asked, walking to the porch. "Um, I-I could be better." Dallon sighed. "Is it about Liam?"

Awsten grunted.

"Why'd she just leave?"

"Listen, Liam pushes people out of her life when she realizes that she's...she's got feelings for someone. That's what she did with Kenny. When she realized that she was in love. But uh, that's just what I think."

"So you're saying that she's in love with me?"

"I-I'm not saying that in particular, but, y-yes. Yes she's in love with you."

Awsten hung up.

I hurriedly texted Geoff as I jumped off of my bed and left my room. I ran to the shower and took a quick shower, then changed into some pants, the shirt I wore on my first date with Liam and a leather jacket. I grabbed my wallet and keys, bolting out of the door as fast as I could.

I didn't even brother changing what was playing right now, which was Twenty One Pilots, and truly I didn't mind. I drove all the way to the flower shop, getting the first parking space that I saw then hopping out of the car.

Before I entered the shop, I looked at myself though the glass. I looked more like myself then I had in a while. Even though my eyes were still puffy and my cheeks were a bit red. I smiled. I looked good with a smile. I looked good with my purple hair. I felt good about myself. I felt good with what I was about to go head and do.

I stepped into the shop and grabbed a bouquet of red roses wrapped in black paper. I walked over to the cashier without thinking an handed him the flowers.

"Hey Awsten! How's it going?" Chris asked and I smiled, then sniffed. "I'm feeling...weird." I admitted and he looked at me. "Why so?" He looked back at the flowers, then nodded.

"Girl problems, I see. Maybe I could offer some advice?" He said and I nodded. "Well, I-I told her that i loved her and then she ran off. And i Just talked to her brother and he said that she pushes people away when she...when she starts to like them. Well, love them. And I-i can't help but thinking that-"
