I glared at Austin and he just glared back at me. His eyes were hazel and dangerous. Making you feel like he was about to murder someone. Sometimes it made me jump thinking about how his eyes could show so much hatred without speaking.
" I don't know how in the world I ended up being stuck here with you but you better not get on my freaking nerves. Or i'll leave you here to die".
He spat at me. His eyes narrowed. I just glared at him and turned around. Looking at anything but his eyes. He turned his attention to the waterfall that lied ahead. I began shivering at the sudden temprature change. I didn't have a jacket and I was sure that Austin wasn't gonna give me his. My body shook and I closed my eyes. Thinking of the warm beach I was supposed to be at with my family and my best friend. But instead I was on a boat in the middle of nowhere with the person I despised the most.
'"Take it." Austin demanded while holding out his jacket. He said it so rudely that I had rather shiver to death them take anything from him. I glared at his and just hugged myself. Trying to ignore him completely.
"Dawson, take the damn jacket! I'm not about to get killed because you were stinkin sick."
He narrowed his eyes, his pupil getting smaller. I snatched the jacket from his hand and wore it. Since he was taller the jacket was big on me and it made me even more warm. I yawned and closed my eyes. Allowing the darkness to leach my vision of the world. I dreamt of running at top speed, wind in my face. But someone was ahead of me. And a good distance too. I had a huge grin on my face. The boy turned around and he had beautiful hazel eyes. It was full of happyness and love. He stuck his tounge out childishly and began to run backwards. He was teasing me trying to show me that I was slow. He stopped and grabbed me. I laughed and he twirled me into his arms. We fell backwards on the grass. He laughed as well. I took a good look at him and saw who he was. He was no other than the infamanous Austin Moon.
"Wake up". He said. I just blinked. Confused on what he was talking about.
"I am awake." I answered. But the soon the beautiful view washed away. I opened my eyes to see Austin glaring at me. " Get up and go find food." He said angrily. His blonde hair was a bit messed up which put him in a worse mood. He had blood coming from his right shoulder. I gasped in shock. Had that been there the whole time? Austin seemed to get why I had gasped and waved it off.
"My shoulder's fine Dawson. But my stomach's not. So go get some food." He ordered. I was seriously fed up with this guy.
"I am sick of the way you treat me. What did I do for you to hate me this much?" I asked. But still shouting at him. He rolled his eyes and laughed bitterly.
" I just got shot trying to fend off twenty nightstand soldiers. While you got to sleep. Something I haven't gotten to do for two days now. Therefore, you deserve nothing more than my help. And you are very lucky that I protected you from being shot in the head".
I didn't say anything but picked myself up and hopped off of the boat. I heard Austin curse behind me. He was struggling to get off the boat. I went to his aid and he groaned. He leaned on me while I looked around the forest for food. I saw a giant batch of bannas in a tree. I set Austin beside the tree and climbed up to get the bannas. Austin looked as if he was in pain but he was alert. I hopped down the tree. Wagging the banannas in his face. He pushed them away.
"Hey! You are not aloud to pass Nightstand grounds". The man yelled.
I looked around panicking. Austin glowered at the direction he heard the voice. He pushed me down and began kissing me. I tried to scream but his lips were against mine and it was hard to scream. His lips felt like a light fluffy pillow making me melt. I felt butterflies flutter in my stomach. But I was still wondering why he was kissing me at a time like this. Or why he would kiss me in the first place. The gaurds gasped at what they saw.
"What are you two doing here?"The gaurd screeched. He had a disquisted look on his face.
Austin looked at him but before he gave me a glance that read: "Don't ever speak of this".
"Sorry sir, I wanted to find a place to makeout with my girl here." He said quietly. He probably hated hearing that come out of his mouth. The man just shook his head and signaled for the troops to leave. Austin got up and held out his hand. I reached for his hand but he pulled back.
"Not you, the banannas". He said annoyed,
I handed the bananna to him . He began to walk away and I stood up. Mimicking him. I hated him with a passion. I kept a good distance from him. The kiss still in my mind. Actually it was was more like a make out but I think kiss would be more 't he just find a hiding spot? Maybe the lack of time got to his head? I hated how just one kiss could mess me up.
"Stop scowling or you'll make yourself more ugly then you are". Austin said.
I glared at him and I saw a small amile form on his lips. But he still had that serious expression on his face. He didn't like trusting anyone. Especially with his life. So he had a hard time with me. Sure I haven't saved his life yet. But he knows what I'm capable of doing. Things like this makes us so different but we have to try and deal with our difference. He hates trusting people, He dwells on the pass, there is always a fire in his eyes that grows when someone makes him angry, He's rude and he could care less, He's protective over things he likes and on the other hand trusts everyone, I don't dwell on the past, I usually have a sparkle in my eyes, I'm polite and I care about what people say to me. We were totally different people. So trying to live and create a good enough bond would be nearly impossible. But I was told that nothing is impossible as long as you have faith. But did it have to be Austin. I would be even fine with Larry the gold digger. And his only treasure is the gooey stuff he finds in his nose. I felt a slap on his face . I glared at Austin.
"This place doesn't feel right". He muttered. We were following the map to a small town named, Hide. The name kinda creeped me out but Austin kept on walking when I tried to reason with him. His logic was better than mine. Therfore he won and things would go his way.
I rolled my eyes. I was seriously getting tired of Austin trying to scare me. It was getting on my last nerve.
"Moon stop trying to scare me because I am seriously tired of your childish ways. Grow up". I hissed.
He looked at me. His facial expression was hard to read. He looked mad, confused, and a bit hurt. But the blue fire that arose in his eyes had made those feelings melt. He was angry. And it was going to to take a lot calm him down.
"Don't you ever call me childish Dawson! Because me saving your damn life is not childish. Me keeping us alive while you sleep is not childish!" His nostrules flared. The flame grew.
For the first time I actually took a good look at him. He had dark bags under his eyes, his saindy blonde hair was sticking in all directions, he looked a bit hurt and confused. But the flame just grew stronger.
"You treat me like I'm some heartless jerk. You don't know heartless and you can trust me on that. I could of left you there to shrivel up and I didn't!"He roared. He was on a roll now and I knew he wasn't gonna stop now.
"You don't how how it feels to loose someone close to you. How it feels to have your heart ripped out of your chest. How it feels to balme no one but yourself. To loose the one thing that made you human. Trust".
He breathed in deeply. He just stared at the grass. I let all his words sink in. He was staring at me now. The flame was gone. He looked sad and determined. Probably determined to get out of here. He put his gaurd up for so many years. And now it was falling apart. I ran up to him and hugged. I knew he hated me and I hated him but all that didn't matter right now. He was fighting the world and loosing. And I knew he needed help.
