Oh, sorry for the short chapter...I'll try and make this one longer! :) Happy Reading!
"Thanks! These are fine...where's your bathroom?" I smiled at Austin and grabbed the clothes. He led me to the bathroom he had downstairs. It was quite small, located under the stairs, it was practically just the toilet and a little mirror hanging on one of the walls. Quickly, I changed my clothes and put them in my back pack...we did go to the theaters almost straight after getting out of school. Looking at my self in the mirror I sighed, what have I become? I've been faking smiles almost my whole life...but Austin makes me feel alive, like, i'm not just a corpse walking around. My emotions are alive for once, but sometimes sadness just punches me in the stomach and I feel like a lost little girl looking for a way out. I would rather feel physical pain again than emotional and mental pain.
"Hey Austin." After a minute or so I calmed down and walked out of the bathroom, looking for Austin.
"Over here! Hey, want something to eat?" He shouted from what seemed like...the kitchen? I followed the sound of his voice and luckily, found him.
"Huh? Oh...um no thanks. Not hungry." My eyes led me to the table and I sat in the wooden chair, leaving my backpack to the side. The Blondie just shrugged and continued making a sandwich...did he just put? Whatever everyone has their own likes and dislikes in food. Austin served himself a glass of milk and came to the table, sitting across from me. His toned body looked so...welcoming and the expression he had on his face seemed, nice. It's relaxing to look at someone like Austin...so beautiful on the inside and outside. Not like me, I'm so cold and lonely on the inside...the real me is hiding in a corner, away from people, away from lies, away from the betrayal, away from the monsters and all the pain causing people to leave this place...we call "Earth".
"You ok?" Austin gulped down the last of his milk and looked at me with a questioning face. I hadn't noticed that I was still looking at him and quickly fixed my posture.
"Yeah...can I...ask you something?"
"Sure...shoot."
"That picture on your little coffee table...is that your family?"
"Well...yeah is it weird to have a photo there?"
"No! It's just...those people who were they?"
"My Mom and Dad? Mr. and Mrs. Moon...they made me..you know by having-" I quickly cut him off, shaking my hands as in saying no.
"No! No! The baby and the other boy."
"Oh! My older brother is Daniel...he's 22 now. And that baby was my sister, Rosaline or Rose."
"She...was? Did she...pass away?"
"Yeah...she. She. Umm she was angry at me and ran to the other side of the street...or tried to. She would of made it if...if only the stupid car didn't speed up. It was night, the car turned on the headlights and she froze...I tried going after her but my father held me back. All I did was scream her name telling her to move. I asked my father later why he held me back...he answered that he didn't want to lose 2 of his children. For 7 whole years I didn't speak to him." Austin looked at his hands and turned them into fists. It was a bad idea to ask him who they were...if he's feeling regret it's all my fault, I'm so stupid.
"11. She'd be 11 by now. Rose. Anyway, wanna go to the game room and set up your blankets and such?"
"Umm...sure."
He got up and headed for the stairs and I just silently followed him. Austin went to his room and grabbed some blankets and a sleeping bag from the top of his closet and walked down the hall to the game room. We both began to set things up and laid down on the soft blankets. We began to talk about or lives and our different struggles. We talked about stupid little things and it was fun.
"Yeah! Like what the heck!?" Austin shouted and used many hand movements making it very exaggerated, making me laugh.
"Hey Ally...can I ask you something?"
"Yeah sure."
"What...sickness does your brother have?"
"Oh...he's schizophrenic. But he's always scared of the things he imagines and he has panic attacks."
"Oh, it must be tough taking care of him."
"Yeah, but my older brother Chase helps a lot to. Surprisingly. He feels like he needs to be there for my younger brother Beck so he's very helpful in that aspect."
"That's good."
"How was your sister? Or how do you imagine her now?"
"Well she was usually always singing, even say random words and put them in a little melody. It was fun to listen to her and play along."
"How nice."
"Yeah, but she was quite shy around others. I imagine her being the girl sitting alone at the lunch table or the girl who is always the one the rumors are about."
"Oh..."
"So, why'd you chose Miami?"
"Well...it seems like Miami is such of a dream, you know. The beach, sunny weather, famous people come here all the time. The people seem really nice here. Very welcoming."
"Yeah, I guess you could say they are quite friendly and welcoming."
"Yeah..."
We kept talking and talking for what seemed like hours and hours on end. The last I checked it was 4:00 a.m. and we were still wide awake, laughing and giggling after every word. Suddenly, the image of Austin disappeared and the room went black.
Thanks for reading! Sorry if the chapter was short, I'll upload as many as I can tomorrow. Bye!
