Austin Mahone saved me...

Why did he leave?

Callin's P.O.V

I hadn't heard from him for two days. He was avoiding me again. Why did Austin do this to me? I never understood what I did wrong, he ignored my calls and texts. I waited for him at school, but he was never in. It was like he was trying to erase himself from my life, which I didn't want to happen.

Now I felt lonely, completely out of place. For being described as one of the most 'popular' girls in school, I felt like an outcast. For the past two days, I had gone through enough cigarette packets to last a week. Ignoring the calls for all meals, Luce's calls and text messages. I just sat there waiting for Austin to phone or text me back.

I was still shocked that it was Caine who had been harassing me; it scared me to think that someone could get an obsession over you. Especially if it's not healthy. When I met Caine I wasn't well, but I recovered and left, forgetting that he still wasn't well. But now he was locked behind bars, and I didn't want to know for how long. I chose not to know, as it would make me feel guilty and feel as if it was my fault.

Everything was my fault.

Walking to class, I kept my head down, not wanting anyone to notice me. I looked a mess. I was a mess and it was an embarrassment. My mind was occupied with thoughts. I walked in a daze, not noticing anything anymore. I just wanted to know what I had done wrong. Why had he never called me back?

I had become desperate for Austin Mahone's attention. I craved his touch. Missed his presence. I had judged him and now I was paying the price of having to be without him. I snapped out of my deep thoughts when someone shoved into me, knocking me to the floor.

"Shit." I cursed.

Panic rose when I realised that all my possessions had fallen out of my bag. I tried to stuff everything back in quickly, but it was too late as someone had picked up the thing I wanted to hide the most.

"Look what I have found!" A familiar voice sniggered

Looking up, I met the the cold, blue eyes of Kim Wild. She had kept her distance from me as she probably had felt a little bit sorry because of the Caine incident. It had been peaceful without her annoying voice mocking me every minute of the day.

"So now you are a coke addict!" She snorted. "You really are worthless."

"Give it back to me!" I snapped.

She knew she was getting to me as a smirk played at her lips. I just wanted to slap it off. I could feel everyone's eyes on me, this was going to be all over the school. 'Callin Constancio? A drug addict!' If Alex found out, he would hate me.

"You like to sniff up some cocaine, don't you Callin?" She waved the packet of drugs in front of my face, tauntingly.

Quickly, I snatched the packet from her hand, before picking myself off of the floor and making an exit from the school. I didn't want anyone to see me cry, so I made it as far to the car park before sitting on the floor and beginning to sob.

"Cal, are you okay?" I looked up to see Zach and Robert standing over me.

"Yeah, I'm fine..." I lied.

"We saw what happened in the hall... If you give up the cocaine we won't tell Alex. If you don't, we will have to tell him..." Robert said slowly.

Sighing, I took the packet from my jacket pocket and placed it into his hand. Zach offered his hand and pulled me off the ground. We began to walk over to Robert's car.

"Why are you two bunking?" I asked.

Alex and Robert exchanged a look before looking back at me. "We are going to water Mrs Mahone's plants..."

"Why would you water her plants?" I questioned.

Zach started to try and think of an excuse; there was definitely something wrong. Robert rolled his eyes at Zach before looking back at me.

"We are watering them as Mrs Mahone is at work. We do them every Wednesday." Robert said, getting into the car.

Austin could do them, he was obviously in the house at the moment. Then I realised, I would be facing Austin. Resting my head on the car window, I began to think over how to act when I saw Austin. To be honest, I was dreading it. He had walked away, leaving me confused.

He hurt me, and I didn't want that to happen again...

* * *

Slowly, we pulled into the driveway, where both of the cars were missing... I tried to hide my disappointment as I got out of the car. Robert got the spare key from the plant and unlocked the door. As I stepped into the house, a gasp escaped from my lips. Most of the things were missing from the house. Robert and Zach were avoiding eye contact.

"Where is he?" I shouted, making them flinch.

Robert rested his hand onto my shoulder, giving me a sad smile. Where was Austin? I needed Austin. I bit my lip to prevent tears pouring from my eyes.

"Callin, Austin is gone... He left for Miami two days ago. He didn't want us to tell you because he didn't want you to get hurt..." Robert said softly.

Austin was gone. I couldn't contain myself and began to cry. Robert wrapped me into a hug and let me cry on him. Everyone that I let in always left me. I just thought Austin was different.

"Why did he leave?" I sobbed.

"He got offered a recording contract. We kept it a secret as he wanted his last few months at school to be normal. Callin, I know this is hard for you, but you have to understand that this is what Austin has always dreamed of." Robert said, pulling away from the hug. "We will see him again, Callin, he will come back."

I nodded my head understandingly. This was what he had always dreamed for. Austin was really talented, he deserved it. But it hurt to know he had lied and kept secrets from me. He had left. It was obvious Austin was going to become famous, he would forget about me.

"Why don't you go upstairs and check if all the windows are closed?" Zach suggested.

I left the two boys alone and walked upstairs, checking the windows in the bathroom, and Michele's bedroom. Then I found myself outside a familiar door. Opening the door made another tear fall from my eyes as it was empty. Something caught my eye on Austin's bed. A smile tugged at my lips as a pile of photographs were sprawled out on Austin's bed.

They were all of Austin and I, one of us in the kitchen at Austin's party. I was sat on the side, talking to Austin while he grinned up at me. The next at school us sat in the stands, staring at each other at the basketball match. Placing the photograph back on the bed, I smiled at the next one of Austin kissing me on the catwalk at the pageant. My eyes trailed to the final one, taken in Austin's house before we left for the dance. Austin's arm wrapped protectively round my waist, while we grinned at the camera.

That was the last time I had been with Austin. I noticed something on the back. My heart broke, as I read the words on the back.

'I am sorry'...
