Chapter Three: First Date
Austin looked around her room. All the clothes in her closet were one the floor and she couldn't find anything to wear.
She picked up some skin tight dark blue jeans and slid them on, while shaking out her black button up shirt.
Looking in the mirror, Austin was pretty pleased with her outfit choice. She zipped up her black knee high boots and threw on a long necklace and some bracelets before grabbing her purse and heading downstairs.
"Wow" Sam smiled when she saw Austin.
"Thanks." Austin said running her fingers through her curled brown hair.
"Where are you guys going?" Sam asked.
Austin shrugged. "He didn't say, did dad decide on my curfew?"
"Eleven." Jason said walking into the living room. "Fair?"
She smiled. "Fair."
"What time's he picking you up?" Her mother asked.
"I'm meeting him at his house." Austin laughed. "You guys would have embarrassed me!"
"Ugh! We wouldn't have!" Sam defended herself.
"So, I shouldn't make Max and Milo follow you?" Jason smiled.
"Dad" Austin kissed him on the cheek. "I'll be fine."
They both hugged her.
"We'll be here, if you need us." Sam called as Austin walked to her car.
"Love you." Austin smiled before getting in her car.
She walked up to the front door and nervously knocked on it.
Liam opened the door with a smile. "Hey."
"Hi" Austin smiled.
"Uh, my parents kind of want to meet you." He said inviting her in.
She nodded. "Okay."
Austin walked beside him through the living room and into the kitchen.
"Mom, Dad." Liam said making Lucky and Elizabeth look up from what they were doing. "This is Austin."
Austin smiled and said hi, to Elizabeth and Lucky.
"We should get going." Liam said.
"Have fun." Lucky smiled.
Hearing the front door close, Elizabeth looked over at Lucky. "She looks just like Sam."
Lucky nodded. "Yeah, I know."
"Your mom looks familiar, I think I've seen her somewhere." Austin said as they pulled out of the driveway in his silver Jeep Wrangler.
"Probably at the store or something, it's a pretty small town." Liam smiled.
Austin nodded, but that wasn't it and she knew it. She had seen Elizabeth somewhere else.
Austin smiled as they pulled into the Port Charles Fair. "I had a feeling you'd take me here."
"You wanna play some games?" Liam asked.
Austin nodded. "Sure, as long as you win me something."
He smiled. "Okay."
"So are you going to try out for the baseball team?" Austin asked holding the pink bear he had one for her, by knocking down all the milk bottles.
Liam nodded. "Yeah, I think so."
"You should, I mean, your really good."
"Thanks." Liam smiled.
"Well, I really didn't expect to see you here." Clay smiled approaching the two of them.
"Likewise." Austin glared at him.
Clay's smile faded when he saw Liam. "Your with him?" He asked in disgust.
"Yes, I am. Do you have a problem with that?" She crossed her arms.
Clay was about to speak when Austin cut him off. "My parents already know, Clay. They don't care and you shouldn't either."
"Give us a minute, would ya kid." Clay smiled.
"No, that's okay. We were just leaving." Austin said turning to leave with Liam.
"Wait a minute." He grabbed her arm.
"Clay, let go of me!" Austin yelled trying to jerk her arm free.
"I just want to talk to you for a minute."
"Stop, your hurting me, Clay!"
"Hey!" Liam pushed Clay. "Back off man!"
Clay let go of Austin and moved towards Liam. "Did you say something?"
"I said to back off!"
Clay shoved Liam and Liam countered with a punch to the face, knocking Clay to the ground.
"Come on, let's go!" Austin grabbed Liam's hand as they ran out of the carnival only hearing Clay's threats in the background.
"I'm sorry." Austin apologized once they got into the car.
"It's not your fault." He said looking at her and then at his swollen hand.
"Let me see." She said gently taking his hand.
"It's nothing, I'm fine." He promised.
"Still you need to get some ice on it." Austin half smiled.
He nodded. "This isn't really what I had in mind for our fist date."
"I guess that means we'll have to have another."
Liam leaned over to Austin and kissed her gently on the lips.
