Forever is Crashing Down on Me (Austin Carlile)

Chapter Ten Memories that Fade Away

Chapter Ten Memories that Fade Away

So, the beginning of this is a flashback/dream in Devon’s POV. It’ll probably clear a few things up for you guys. Alright?

Also, dedicated to xxsnuggles since she is my most recent follower and nobody actually seems to give a flying fuck about this story. 

Be warned, this is the biggest filler chapter in the world and it absolutely sucks. Its really long though, and that’s mainly because it’s got two parts, and the second part is really odd, and unexpected probably.

A week and a half after Devon had officially moved in with Austin, and gotten rid of her apartment.

I answered the home phone, sitting on the counter as I did so, “hello?”

“Hello, can I please speak with a Miss Devon Kelso?” the voice on the other end asked, the voice being gruff and manly. I definitely didn’t recognize the voice, it wasn’t one I knew at all.

“She’s speaking.”

“This is Detective Warner, from the San Diego Police Department. What is your relation to a Mason Kelso, a Jeremy Kelso, and a Kiana Kelso?”

“Kiana is my mother, Jeremy is my father, and Mason is my brother,” I muttered down the phone, not sure why a detective would be calling me, asking me about my family.

“I hate to inform you of this, but they have all been admitted to the hospital.”

“W-why?” I ask, I may be fifteen, but I don’t ever deal with things like this, nothing has ever happened to any of my family. We’ve always been healthy.

“We’ve already informed Robyn and Johnathan Kelso, we would appreciate if you could please make your way to the hospital. You’ll be able to get more information there.”

“C-can you please just tell me what happend to my family?”

“They were in a car accident on Interstate 5...”

I shot up in the bed, this was the fifth time I had dreamt about that since I got here. I usually never dreamt about it, I never even thought about it. I also never talked about my family, and I had been lately. Ever since Alan and I compared ourselves, we had been finding more similarities between him and Mason.

I stood up, being careful to not wake Austin up, not wanting him to worry about me. I knew Austin well enough to know that he would worry, want to talk about it, something like that. I didn’t want to talk about it though, I just wanted to let myself cope with suddenly talking about them like nothing was wrong with my family when they were alive. I couldn’t pretend that my mom and dad were perfect, and I couldn’t pretend that my brother was my best friend in the entire world.

I slowly made my way downstairs turning and going into the bathroom, groaning as I realized that I started my period. I took care of business before walking and laying on the couch. I knew this would be a long week, Austin having plans with Alan through most of it, Tino being busy with Zooey, Phil being out of town, and Aaron and Amanda planning their wedding.

I sat on the couch, not really thinking about much, watching the random documentary that was playing on History Channel. I really didn’t pay attention, I was just staring at the screen, waiting for something to happen.  

I glanced at the clock on the wall at the end of the documentary, 7:57. I got up, walking into the kitchen, grabbing a glass and filling it with orange juice from the fridge. I didn’t think that Austin would be awake for a couple more hours, unless I woke him up.
