"Kendra..." he took a deep breath trying to clear his head. He had come here to say goodbye, to cut ties amicably without causing her any more pain than he already had. "How could you even consider anything after what I did..."
"It wasn't your fault." Her voice was soft, trying to keep their conversation private from the rest of the cafe.
His eyes shot to the coffee mug in his hand, he knew he would lose his composure if he looked at her. "I shouldn't have been driving."
"Austin." She sighed, her voice pleading for him to listen to her.
"I was over."
"And he ran a red." She snapped back quickly, leaning in to the table closer to him.
"I should have seen him coming, I should have been able to avoid it."
"Austin it was an accident, they happen. No one blames you."
He took a steadying breath. Maybe, maybe there was a chance he could accept that part. "And the rest. You really think that wasn't my fault?"

Hold My Breath - Post Malone
Austin Post's life has been on pause for ten long years. Since the day his wife Cleo fell into a coma, he's been tethered to her side, living a life of half-existence while the world continues without him. He's built a successful career, traveled the world, and watched his family grow, but his heart remains with Cleo, waiting for her to wake up. His sister Tina doesn't understand. She's desperate for him to move on, to find someone new, but Austin's not ready to let go. When Tina arranges another "friendly" dinner, Austin knows it's not just a meal. It's one of her latest attempts to set him up on yet another blind date. And when Sandra, a beautiful doctor, appears at the table, Austin's worst fears seem to be coming true. He's trapped in a world where his love for Cleo holds him prisoner, and Tina's push for him to move on only deepens the divide between them. As tensions rise and emotions crack, Austin is forced to confront his past and his future. Can he continue living a life built around waiting for something that may never happen? Or will he learn to live without the constant ache of the woman he once knew? "Normal" no longer exists in Austin's world. His life is one of heartache, love, and unwavering commitment. But is it enough to keep him grounded, or will he break under the pressure to move on? An emotional and gut-wrenching journey about love, loss, and the price of waiting for someone who may never return.Terminé

Chemical - Post Malone
"Whatever, just call him and get him to sign the papers. It's not that hard," Kitty adds before taking another sip. Miya is going to have to drive her home for sure. "That's the thing, Kitty...I did. He won't sign the papers," Miya says. Kitty's jaw drops open, clutching the bottle to her chest like a baby. "That good for nothing bastard!" Her head is spinning a little but she is not sure if it's from the wine or from finally entering into a conversation about Austin. It's been five years since she has allowed herself to even think about that miserable asshole. "He said, and I quote..." Miya says and watches Kitty carefully, "you tell my wife that if she wants a divorce, she needs to come over with the papers herself." Dickery...absolute dickery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kitty married Austin on a whim - silly teenage love. He had promised her the world, literally. Then he disappeared along with every ounce of her dignity. It's taken all of five years to piece of herself together, but she has and it's been a bitch of a time. Now she has found someone who is man enough to give her the life Austin ran away from. The only problem is she is still married to Austin - nothing that a simple signature can't fix. Austin, however, has now decided he wants to talk, but it's five years too late and Kitty can't think of anything she wants less. So while Austin tries his hand at finally talking to her, Kitty blows up his truck, buys an elephant and gets well acquainted with the police department in an attempt to get her point across - she does not want to talk, she only wants his signature on those dam divorce papers.Terminé
I like you - Post Malone
She has to at least try or she will never forgive herself. She stops and turns, walking back to Austin, but stays behind him. Zeus is now fast asleep in his arms, his head hanging over and pressed into the grass - sweet boy. She is now so nervous she can't for the life of her remember the speech she had been practicing. "Ummm...you don't know me and I know you have had a hard day so I am sorry for adding to your stress. I really don't mean to, but Zeus is very special to me and my nephew. My nephew has grown very close to him and would be gutted at not seeing Zeus again. We have been looking after him while you have been away and he has a special seat in my van and his own crystal and he has a job when I groom my clients - he keeps the skittish animals calm and he is very good at it. We love him...and..." she lets her voice die as she sees he is not even bothering to look around at her. He does not care what she is saying. "We...we just want to say goodbye...please." "Doesn't look like he cares much for a goodbye," Austin says with a bit of an obnoxious grunt as he lights a cigarette.Terminé
Same Bitches - Post Malone
She has actively tried to get as far away from him as possible after he dumped her belongings she had left behind on her friend's front lawn and then set them alight, flipping her off as he lit a cigarette and walked off to his car. Honestly, she expected more from him. She knew what the thought of her cheating on him would do - it had been an irrational fear that had kept him up at night during their six months together. Their relationship was toxic from the start. Both were nineteen, both selfish, both hot-headed, and loud-mouthed; and both not knowing what the fuck to do in a real adult relationship, plus they were both putting more effort into their careers than each other. Neither of them are toxic people to be fair, both were raised by good families with good morals and too much love. It had just been their timing - it was off, they found each other at the worst possible time. It's a lesson well learned. Her lesson was simple - men can go fuck themselves, especially Austin, and Austin's lesson? Find a woman and marry the fuck out of her - the bastard. ~~~~~~~~~~ Lux has vowed to never cross paths with her ex, Austin, again. Life, however, likes fucking with her.Terminé
Circles - Post Malone
She is well and truly fucked. He looks better, way better than he did in high school. In high school he was delicious but now he is just scrumptious. Dahlia can't move. She knows if she tries - her knees will buckle. Fuck how does he look even better with age? Shit. He has cut his hair although it is still an unruly mass of curls on the top of his head. His jaw has a serious amount of hair on it making him look mature but not old. He is also covered in tattoos, from what she can see, they cover him head to toe. Face and neck tattoos often look like overkill, but on Austin they just work. They add to his presence rather than take away from it. But then again she is inlove with him so she may be a tiny bit biased. Austin is looking directly at her with a slightly furrowed brow. Does he recognize her? Did Gina tell him she was coming? She is sure Gina said she had. "Dahlia, come here," Gina says walking over to Dahlia and grabbing her elbow then tugging her toward Austin. "Picking up strays already, Gina?" Austin asks when they get to him. "Oh Austin, you can be so silly sometimes," Gina hits his chest softly and he grabs her hand, holding it to his chest while he continues to stare at Dahlia. "This is Dahlia. Remember? From school..." Gina explains. Dahlia just stands in front of Austin like an idiot as he looks her up and down. "Dahlia...isn't that a stripper name?" Austin asks.Terminé
FALLEN

~Completed~ 'I'm bold.' 'I'm ever confident.' 'I don't give a fuck about what anyone thinks and have to say about me.' 'I'm who I am.' 'I'm Stella Downer.' That's how it has always been, but what happens when things don't go exactly the way she planned... ~~~ He said nothing more, he had a sly smile on his face as he ran his hands through his hair. No doubt he was gorgeous. No doubt he's got good lips. No doubt he got any girl he wanted. No doubt I'm having crazy thoughts right now. "You're my boyfriend's bestfriend" I blurted. "It doesn't matter, I respect that but he's the only thing standing between 'us'" he replied, his voice still as calm as ever like nothing was weird... Like 'THIS' was normal. "'We' are not possible" I said mustering all the courage I could, trying not to melt under his gaze. "Does it mean you're considering it?" He asked. I wanted to reply but I couldn't, I couldn't just make out words right now. Was I perhaps considering it? What is wrong with me?! I just stood there, staring at him, his eyes piercing into mine like he was trying to read me. There was something about those dark eyes I couldn't quite comprehend. His presence was doing something to me! Everywhere was suddenly so quiet. Where is everyone?! Few seconds later, his face was inches away from mine, I just hope it wasn't what I was thinking. Every foward motion he took, I equally took a step backwards till I felt my back hit against one of the lockers. I could have pulled out. I could have pushed him away. I could have walked away. I could have hit him or slapped him away from me. But I did nothing... My body felt numb. The only thing I could feel were the weird sensation inside me. We were a breathe apart. I could already feel his body heat... •••••• Book #1 of the Downer Sisters Series. CAN BE READ AS A STAND ALONE BOOK!Terminé
