Scott In Name Only
Chapter 30
Dark Shadows Movie Thearter
Hours Later
Austin smiled up at Angela. As she exit the bathroom
"You pulled yourself together so well. No one can tell we didn't watch a minute of that movie." He said. Taking her hand in his.
Angela smiled back at over kissing him hard.
"I'm nothing if not smart and able to put myself in a matter of seconds. We have to go. My curfew is at 10. And it'll take us at 30 minutes to get back to town." Angela said.
Austin took her cellphone from her hands and pulled her close to him.
She smiled into the kiss as he snapped a picture.
"A keepsake from this amazing night. I need to see you more."
"These once in awhile dates. Are not enough for me." Austin said.
"Me either. But that's the way it has to be for now. Two years feels like forever i know.I just hope i'm worth all this effort." Angela said.
"You're worth it and alot more. I'll get you home in time no worries." Austin replied. Leading the way out the exit doors of the thearter.
...
The walk between the two had been going on for some time. And they had barely spoken.
Tristan was only now realizing just how lacking his relationship with Brooke was. She had been in his life for a long period of time and was still a stranger to him. Which was more his fault then hers. She had always made an effort to reach out. It was him who shut down any attempt to build a relationship.
"Why do you keep trying with me. Even though i make no effort in return.?" Tristan asked.
Brooke stopped walking. Turned and looked up at him.
"I have never not cared about you. And wanted what was best. You're dad and I lost touch with each other years ago. For one reason or another. I'll never forget getting the phone call from him about when you were born. It was quiet early in the morning and raining heavily. You're dad's voice was full of happiness and pure joy. I loved you from that moment on. All you ever needed to do was exist." Brooke replied.
The expression on Tristan's face softened. "I'm sorry. For blaming what happened with my mom. I knew it wasn't you're fault. I needed someone to blame for her leaving me."
"I've kept you at a distance all this time. Because i didn't want to go through it again. Losing someone i loved." Tristan admitted. The emotion thick.
Brooke pulled him into her arms. Engulfing him in a hug.
Tristan hugged her back. Once the two pulled apart.
She locked eyes with him. "I'm not going anywhere. You're stuck with me like it or not. I will never try to replace you're mom. I never placed blame on her for what happened she was unwell and needed help not judgement. Hopefully one day you can see me as someone else who you care for that's important in you're life." Brooke replied.

Hours Later
In the morning
The Scott Home
The bedroom to Angela's bedroom burst open.
The teenage girl woke up and got out of bed.
"Ash. School isn't starting for hours. What's going on.?" Angela asked.
"Time's up. You're secret is out. Pictures of you and Austin are all over celeb blogs and various posts. Hollywood's new hottest teen couple." Asher announced. Handing over his laptop.
Angela stared from the screen to her brother with an expression of shock on her face.
