Flowers & Problems

Austin's POV

After I left the room, I ran through the empty hallways with the only sound being tapping of my feet hitting the glass tile floor. And from a distance, I saw a familiar array of bright colors sitting beside the library.

"Hey Dez..." I chuckled nervously as I approached the red head sitting on the bench.

"What do you want?" He replied coldly. I immediately frowned. I guess he didn't like the kiss... Oops.

"Look. I'm sorry for that. I shouldn't have gone up and kissed you. I should have known better." I sighed.

"You should have." He said standing up. "You know why I can't be in any kind of relationship. And you know I only dated you when we were younger because I was being a good friend and I wanted to be there for you."

"It was just-"But then I was cut off.

"It wasn't just any girl! It was Carrie! I loved her with all my heart! I did my best to make her happy! I did everything I could! And what do I get?" He paused as if he wanted an answer from me. I didn't reply. "I find out in our anniversary that she's been seeing other guys! All because I was too sweet! She said I wasn't mean enough! I didn't take enough risks when we were dating! She thought it best to end it before I could even have a chance to fix anything!" He screamed.

"Dez... I'm-" I started but I soon cut myself off. Knowing it was pointless to answer.

"Don't be. You never noticed how upset I was because you were too busy bullying those innocent kids and making out with random idiotic girls to even notice your best friend got his heartbroken!" He shouted.

"But-" But then I was soon cut off again.

"No. Just shut up." He spat.

"How come every time I asked if you okay, why did you said you were?" I asked.

"Because I didn't want you to worry. It's not like I matter to you anyway." He gritted.

"But you do matter to me! You're my best friend!" I defended."

"Not to Carrie. I don't matter to her. At least you matter to Ally." He mumbled.

"Carrie's missing out then! You're an amazing guy!" I pointed out.

"You're just saying that!" He snapped.

"But-"But then I was cut off for the third time.

"No. Just forget it. Go back to trying to get Ally to like you and be extremely lucky she does." He grumbled.

"Wait. Then why did you keep saying I shouldn't try and she'll break my heart?" I questioned.

"Um..." He hesitated nervously.

"Wait a minute. You tried to stop me from ever liking Ally just because the girl you loved broke your heart?!" I shouted furious.

"I was trying to help you." He defended.

"No you weren't! You tried to push me from liking her since you and Carrie broke up! Well, news flash Red, I still like her and I'm still going to ask her out! No matter you say!" I snapped.

"Fine. But if she breaks your heart in pieces, don't come running to me." He hissed before turning the corner.

"Yeah. I'll definitely ask her out and everything's is going to be perfect." I mumbled to myself as I walked to my locker.

I opened it and pulled out a small bouquet I got this morning because I may have planned to ask her today. Nothing strange about that. I hope. Maybe...

I walked back to the music room and knocked on the door. I heard the footsteps approaching the door and my heart started racing. I felt my palms get sweaty and I got jolt of mixed emotions.

"Austin?" I hear her voice snap me out of my thoughts.

"Oh. Hey." I gulped.

"Need anything?" She asked.

"Um... I-I... Was... Wondering if you wanna go on a da-I mean go hang out with me this Saturday?"

Way to go Austin. You almost blew it.

Shut up.

Whatever man.

"Um... Sure." She replied smiling.

"Really?! Yes! I-I mean awesome. See you then." I grinned. Idiot.

Shut up.

Nah son, I can't leave. I'm your mind.

Dammit.

Before she closed the door I stopped her. "Wait!"

"Yes?" She asked.

"Um..." I paused revealing the flowers from behind. "These are for you." I smiled nervously.

"Aww! Thank you! They're beautiful!" She cheered as she gleefully took them into her tiny hands.

"But you're more beautiful." I mumbled to myself.

"What?" She asked.

"Oh! Um... Nothing. It was nothing!" I chuckled nervously.

She looked at me strangely before chuckling and going back to the piano. Afterwards, I left the room and headed toward my locker, feeling happy, then, looking at the time, it was time to go home. I looked up and watched everyone pile into the buses and cars.

"How'd it go?" A voice asked. I almost jumped out of my skin before I turned around. It was Dez. Again.

"God dammit Dez can't you be any louder!? And it was fine. She said yes." I smiled.

"You're just making a mistake and I can guarantee that something will go wrong." He warned.

"Seriously? Why are you so against Ally? She hasn't done anything wrong!"

"That's what I thought of Carrie." He mumbled

"Carrie and Ally are two completely different people!"

"You don't know that!"

"Well. Neither do you!" I retort.

He huffed and mumbled, "Fine. Whatever." Then he walked away.

I raised my eyebrow in confusion as he walked away... What's his problem?
