Chapter One: All Grown Up.

"Morning Mom." Austin said walking into the kitchen a grabbing an apple.

"Morning, have you seen your brother?" Sam asked looking up the stairs. "Brett! Get a move on, your going to be late for school!"

"He already left, Clay picked him up half an hour ago." Austin said.

"Well, I'm glad he told me." Sam said sarcastically. "Does your dad know?"

"Do I know what?" Jason asked entering the kitchen kissing Austin on the head and then Sam.

"That Brett left without telling anyone." Austin said ratting out her brother.

"I'll talk to him." Jason said, reassuring Sam.

"Thank you." She smiled.

"Well, I'm going to be late for the first day back to school." Austin said picking up her keys. "Has anyone seen my-"

Sam held up the leather jacket.

"Thanks mom, your the best." She kissing her mom and dad, before throwing her leather jacket on and walking out the door.

"I'm telling you man, she's hot." Brett smiled.

"Way out of your league." Clayton laughed.

"Just because I'm a freshman and she's a senior, doesn't mean I don't have a shot." He protested.

"Yeah, yeah." Clay smiled.

"I wonder were Austin is?" Brett looked around.

"Right there." Clay pointed to the parking lot.

Austin pulled into the parking lot, and whipped her black mustang convertible into one of the parking spaces.

She locked her car and then made eye contact with Brett, before angrily walking over to him and Clay.

"Nice going, genius." She said unzipping her black leather jacket. "Next time you leave, you might want to tell someone."

"You cover for me?" He asked.

"Nope." She chuckled. "I'm not getting in trouble because of your slip, sorry bro."

"Morning Clay." Austin said turning her direction towards him.

"Austin, beautiful as always." He laughed.

"Don't try to butter me up." She stared at him. "This year is going to be different than last year, no protecting me. I'll be fine."

"It's the Corinthos blood. It's in my genes." He said flashing his dimples.

"I'm not kidding, Clay." She smiled. "I'll never get a date."

"That's the point." He laughed.

"Yeah, well, no more." She said before she walked away.

Brett and Clay watched her walk into Port Charles High and they both had to admit, she was one of the most gorgeous girls at the school. And that's why Clay had to protect her from getting her heart broken by someone who didn't deserve it in the first place.

"What can I get you sweetheart?" Mike asked Austin.

"Nothing, thanks. I'm meeting JJ." Austin smiled.

"If you change your mind, it's on the house."

Austin thanked him. Mike always seemed to be a nice man and she knew that he was her uncle Sonny's father and Clay's Grandfather.

She sat down at the bar, while she waited for JJ to show.

"Can I get a hot chocolate to go." She heard someone say beside her.

She turned to see a guy, that looked to be about her age. She knew he could drive because he was holding car keys.

"Are you new?" She asked.

"Is it that obvious?" He turned to her and stared at her with his brown eyes.

"I know just about everyone in Port Charles and I've never seen you before." She smiled.

"Just moved here from Paris."

"Doesn't sound like it." Austin said not hearing an accient.

"I lived in New York until I was five, and then we moved to London." He smiled. "My parents used to live her when they were younger, my age and my aunt still lives here."

"My parents too, my dad's lived her since he was like ten, and my mom came not long after." She smiled. "They have this whole, tragic but romantic love story going on, kind of hard to live up to."

"I know what ya mean." He smiled. "But I heard just about everyone in Port Charles has their own twisted love story."

"True." Austin smiled. "So, you have a name?"

"Liam, Liam Spencer." Liam said extending his hand.

Austin slid her hand into his. "Nice to meet you."

"Do I get to know yours?

"Maybe." Austin smiled. "Where do you go to school?"

"Port Charles High. You?"

"Same." Austin said and then turned around seeing Clay walking toward them.

"Is there a problem?" Clay asked.

"No, Clay. Go away!"

"Your new here, so I'm going to let you go with a warning." Clay smiled just like his father. "She's off limits, unless you want trouble."

Liam nodded.

"I'll be in the car. I'm giving you two minutes to wrap this up." Clay said to Austin.

She rolled her eyes. "Fine."

When Clay walked out the door of Kelly's, Austin turned back to Liam. "Sorry, about my overprotective friend."

"That's okay." He smiled. "I like trouble."

She nodded with a smile and then turned to leave.

"So I'll see you around?" Liam called after her.

Austin turned back and smiled. "Yeah, you will."

"Did you guys have a good first day?" Sam asked as they all four sat down for dinner.

"Oh yeah." Brett smiled. "We have this new girl, and she is hot!"

"Brett." Jason said shaking his head.

"Is she from London?" Austin asked.

He nodded. " Yep."

"I think I met her brother today at Kelly's."

"Really?" Jason asked.

Sam gave him a look.

"Yeah, their parents used to live here and they have family here."

"Huh, I wonder if we know them?" Sam asked Jason.

"His last names Spencer." Austin said taking a bite of her dinner.

Jason and Sam both looked at each other, trying to hide the shocked feeling they both had.
