I'm sick today so I had time to write! On top of that I had 6 reviews so I was able to post! Sorry it's short! But it's a major breakthrough between Austin & Ally's relationship! Thank you so much! Enjoy!
I am currently sitting next to Austin at the door still stuck inside the room where Trish locked us in. "You know this is your fault. You're always finding something to argue about." Austin says.
"Excuse me? You are always find something to argue about. I may say something ridiculous but you always have to find some awful retort."
"Oh, my God. You actually think you do nothing wrong here." He laughs.
"Yeah, I do."
"You're always swearing at me. Every single sentence you make when we fight you swear."
"I fucking don't!"
"My point exactly, cupcake!"
"You swear too."
"No I fucking don't!"
"Oh, my God! You just did it again! You just fucking swore!"
"Who the hell cares? It's just a few words that mean nothing in the English dictionary."
"Whatever." I scoff.
"Whatever." Austin mocks.
"Mocking? Seriously? What are we in, grade 2?"
"One of us is."
"Come on. This just proves it."
"Proves what?"
"That there is no way we can be friends."
"I agree. What is Trish thinking?"
"I know. We always fighting."
"You know we fight over the stupidest things, right?"
"Yeah." We both laugh. "Austin, I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Always swearing." We start to laugh. "And all the mental abuse I probably give you."
"It's fine. I always yell back so that doesn't make me any better."
"Austin, can I ask you something?" I turn to face him.
"Sure." He says still looking ahead.
"How come you never tell me anything about yourself?"
The moment I asked that his head instantly turned to me then sighs, "Don't take it seriously. I don't tell people much in the first place. I don't tell people things about me is because it's hard to trust people nowadays. It's because I never want to be the one to get hurt in the end. I'm scared I'll regret it later."
"Oh, Austin."
"How come you're friends with Amanda even if she's obviously not a good friend?"
"I don't know. How come she was in your room?"
"My dad let her up. She barged in practically demanding me to go out with her again."
"What'd you say?" My heart beat started beating faster not wanted to know right after I said it out loud. My body started to tense up. I don't know why.
"I said no." My body relaxed. Why do I feel this way? I shouldn't care who Austin dates.
"Oh." I said a little surprised than I was supposed to.
"Now back to my question, how come you're friends with her."
"I-i don't know..."
"Ally, I think you do know. And you're afraid to tell me. It's okay if you don't."
"No." I sounded a little disappointed. "I'll tell you. The reason I'm friends with her or anybody that I didn't like anymore is because of something in my past that keeps me from ending friendships."
"If you're not happy why not do something about it?"
"Something happened to me and I don't really feel like telling people about it."
"It's okay."
"I'm a terrible person."
"No, no you're not."
"It's fine. I'm a bitch. Everybody knows it. But I'm not the person who I use to be." Austin sits up. "I've changed from who I used to be. I never want to show my true emotions anymore and that's why I can't the way I am."
"Are you happy the way you are?"
"Yeah, I'm happy."
"How come you want to be popular so bad, knowing that when we graduate, none of this stuff is going to matter?"
"If I'm not popular, I'm a nobody and I never want to feel that way again."
"Again?"
I sigh as a tear falls down my cheek, "In the beginning of high school freshman year at my old school, I would be to,enter and bullied by everyone. Tripped, kicked, beat up, thrown in lockers. I was the cliche of high school nerds. But I never knew why I got bullied. I didn't know if it was my looks, the fact that I couldn't do math." Austin gives me an apologetic smile. "I was dumb. So nobody liked me. "I mean, my parents tried to stop it but it never worked. The only way I knew to fix it was to change. The come one of them. I never physically hurt anyone. I only said things to people who deserved it, and who hurt me."
"Ally, I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I-"
"Stop feeling sorry for me." I snapped. Austin's face was kept the same. "I'm not the same person anymore so you shouldn't treat me like something to be fixed because I'm-"
"Ally?"
I sit back down, "Austin. I'm sorry. Sometimes I forget who I am. I don't know who I am. Hiding my true emotions makes me have a better life sometimes."
"Would you rather have a fake life and temporary happiness or have a true life and always be happy?"
"That's a good point. Man, are you smart." We both laugh.
"I'm scared to open up. I don't want to be hurt again."
On instinct I give Austin a hug. We stay like that for a while. "It's okay Austin. Opening up to you doesn't mean that you have to open up to me. I opened up because I wanted to not because I thought I had to."
"I like this." Austin says in my ear.
"Like what?"
"Being able to actually talk to you. It feels right."
"I think this is exactly what we needed."
No Ones POV
Trish lightly knocks on the door but no one answers. Trish got ready for being tackled to the floor by Austin and Ally. She slowly opened the door twisting the doorknob and looked inside the room. Suddenly Trish felt the door hit something. She entered the room and saw Austin and Ally passed out on the floor practically cuddled together. Trish took out her phone and smiled as she took the photo of the two. "They'll thank me later." She said to herself as she walked out of the room leaving the door wide open for when they wake up.
