Hello hello!
I'm sad to say that the story is coming to an end. And don't worry, things may seem bad now but just you wait... :) As the story is winding down, I've posted my other story that I promised; You're No Good For Me. You should check it out if you want to read something different. :)
And I've also changed the formating of the story. It looks a little better now. I was just lazy and rushed whilst in school, so I didn't have time to proofread or line break things. I hope this looks a little bit better. :)
Okay, okay, without further blubbering adieu.
Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally or Taylor Swift
Austin groaned and fell off the edge that he had been perched upon the night before. He moaned in pain as he hit the ground harshly. Austin rubbed his eyes as he lay on the floor, thinking about why he was even here on a new day.
He found his phone somewhere under a mess of paper airplanes. Austin loved to make them when he got bored. Seems like he had began to make them again sometime yesterday.
He really didn't remember.
The blonde rubbed his tired eyes pitifully as he glanced at the bright screen, almost dropping his phone due to the sudden flash of light.
"Gah!"
It was about one in the afternoon, on a Wednesday.
His phone flashed with about five new messages all under different names. Austin decided to ignore all of them and figure out why his phone displayed 'Wednesday' instead of 'Tuesday.'
Incidentally, he hadn't remembered a thing from yesterday.
Maybe that was why there were so many paper airplanes in the corner of the room. Or why his hands were wrapped in duct tape.
And why was there a stuffed dolphin tucked in his bed?
Austin groaned and gingerly took the tape off his sore hands.
Oh that was why there was tape on them.
Austin's hands looked like they were raw hunks of meat rather than hands. They were red all over, with new protruding scratches from - whatever reason. He gingerly tried to stretch his fingers, gasping when they hurt like fire. He couldn't even straighten out his fingers without wincing.
This was so unhealthy.
Austin put the tape back on, congratulating himself that he thought of such a clever way to avoid the problem.
Just then, it dawned on him that his date with Kira was in... an hour.
Oh.
Austin scrambled to the washroom to get cleaned up.
He'll have to figure out why it was Wednesday some other time.
Austin grabbed a clean shirt from his suitcase, buttoning it up as he went. Austin was about to roll the sleeves, struggling with the buttons due to his uncooperative hands. He stumbled into the washroom and began to brush his teeth, using the biggest amount of Aquasmile he could fit on his toothbrush.
His breath didn't smell the greatest in the morning.
Austin suddenly squealed, his mouth burning. His eyes even started to water.
Too much Aquasmile.
Austin spit the toothpaste out and finished with his mouth. He gurgled some water and then spit it out as well, clearing his throat. Austin grabbed some hair gel stored behind the mirror cabinet. He tried to style his hair at least a little decently.
His hair wouldn't budge.
Austin groaned as he just made the mess worse. Austin tried to find a comb or something to help with the mess he just created. Luckily he found one that Ally had given him.
Austin shook off the memories that were creeping onto him. He combed his hair out, making it slightly better than what it looked like before. Austin flipped his hair and tested it a few times, making sure it looked like it always did.
Finally, he slipped his feet into some wrecked converse, bending over to lace up his sneakers.
Ugh, force of habit.
Austin grabbed his keys and phone and slipped them into a leather jacket that he had gotten even without Ally's permi - nevermind.
"I'm going out, Dez!" He called as he opened the door to his room. Austin furrowed his eyebrows when no one was even in the living room. He glanced at the clock and saw that it wasn't even two yet. Dez doesn't even get up until three!
Austin sighed and closed the door to the apartment, making sure it was locked. Austin twirled his keys around his fingers, wincing when it pained him.
He felt this strange feeling in his gut as he walked into the elevator. It was like his insides were twisting up, telling him that this was a bad idea. Austin just furrowed his eyebrows and told his gut to keep it together.
Maybe he should've brought some duct tape for his stomach.
...
Austin slowly made his way to the restaurant Kira had told him about. He had taken the subway for the first time, since being in New York.
That wasn't such a good idea.
He was half an hour late to Kira's designated time. The restaurant - Golden Panda - was busy with people. It looked like a pretty expensive place.
He scanned the crowd with his tired eyes and looked around for Kira. He suddenly saw the little bracelet covered hand wave him over, in which he shot her a forced smile.
"Austin!" Kira smiled with her bright, white teeth as he slid into the seat across from her. She had deep, tanned skin with dark brown eyes and hair. She wore a floral dress with a braided brown belt around her waist. The dress barely past her thighs.
"You're half an hour late!" She said enthusiastically through her gritted smile. Austin smiled - a genuine - smile at that.
"Yeah."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Okay." Kira's gaze remained happy, but he could see that she was already clearly annoyed by his demeanour. Already. He was late, and looked pretty sloppy since he wasn't even interested in giving her a second glance. She looked like the kind of person every guy would be wanting to get some ass from.
Not him.
Austin had already learned that Kira was pretty shallow.
Just then a waiter appeared and placed ice water on the table and took their orders. Austin grumbled as the waiter shot him a flirty smile and flipped her hair over one shoulder.
"I'll have the caesar salad," Kira told the brunette waitress, giving her a warning glance. The waitress didn't take notice of Kira however, and just jotted down her order. She turned to Austin.
"And you?" The waitress asked, giving him yet another flirty smile while biting her lip. Austin didn't even look up. He was daydreaming. Austin snapped his head up.
Austin was slouched in his chair, feet hanging out. He rubbed his forehead and sighed, squinting at the lights.
"I'll have the turkey burger," he told the waitress without looking at her, and closing the menu. He saw Kira smile.
"So, Austin," she started, twirling her hair around her finger. "Do you have any hobbies?" Kira asked. Austin furrowed his eyebrows. She was interrupting his dreams.
"Uh, I like playing music and stuff," he told her gruffly. Kira looked disappointed. She shook it off fast though.
"What about sports? Do you play sports? You look like you've got a football player's build," she said, swooning a little. Austin silently rolled his eyes. All she seemed to care about was his athletic build huh?
"Sure, basketball, football. Just hobbies," he told her, in which she nodded and smiled, glad they were getting somewhere. Austin sighed. Kira was great and all. But honestly, all she seemed to talk about was him. And yet here he was trying to know her.
The lunch/dinner date went on as Kira kept saying how handsome he looked, and would sometimes accidentally kick him in the foot, giggling when he groaned in pain. Austin sighed, rubbing his aching ankles.
Kira sounded better on the phone.
Austin grumbled when she opened her mouth again.
"So, Austin, I heard you were staring in a movie? That's so cool!" She tried to sound interested, but he could tell even she was getting bored of the date. Austin just blinked at her, taking a few seconds to respond.
"Yeah."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Okay."
He saw Kira grit her teeth again. He chuckled. The silence became tension in the air. Kira was eying him. Austin didn't let it bother him, however. He wasn't here to impress anyone. And certainly not Kira.
"Your shirt, the buttons are all in the wrong buttons holes," she gasped suddenly, as if she was holding that in the whole time. Austin glanced down at his shirt. Sure enough, the buttons were all in the wrong slots. Austin just shrugged, clearly not affected. Kira on the other hand, looked almost embarrassed that her date looked like a hobo.
Austin wasn't usually a huge dirtbag like this. But at the moment, he was occupied about thinking about a certain brunette who probably had his heart jammed in between the pages of her leather book. Probably writing trash about him in that book of hers too.
The date was horrible. All Kira talked about was how nice he looked, shirt aside. Sometimes, she would even hook a leg around his. He was getting real agitated by her at this point.
Austin had stayed silent, only talking when Kira asked him a question. Austin gave up on trying to ask her questions. She would only direct them back his way. He saw even Kira started to give up on the date. She sighed and smiled at him.
"I'm going to go to the washroom," she told him sweetly before walking off in extremely high heels. Austin frowned. High heels made girls uncomfortable, but yet they still wear 'em.
Austin began to drum his lifeless fingers on the table, playing a sick beat. He even started nodding his head, feeling happy for once in his miserable life. Austin sighed as the table jabbed a sore spot on his hand.
He slipped his phone out of his pocket when she hadn't returned in ten minutes.
Austin glanced at some texts he had received. Austin replied to a few before his phone vibrated in his wounded hands. He smiled when caller ID showed 'Dez.'
"Hey Dez," he voiced into his phone. He heard a lot of muffled noises coming from the other end. Austin scratched his head nervously, waiting for a reply.
"Hey Austin!" Dez cried from the other end of the line. He heard Dez go oomph and then an ear shattering noise pierced the call. Austin rubbed his ear and furrowed his eyebrows.
"You okay?" He called over the commotion. Austin heard a grunting noise and then something like the phone being picked back up after getting knocked down.
"Yeah, fine. Hey, do you wanna hang out?" Dez asked suddenly like he just got the greatest idea in the world. Austin could practically hear the excitement in his voice. Austin furrowed his brow, even though Dez couldn't see him.
"Sure, this date was a total bummer anyways. Where you at?" Austin checked the time. It was almost five.
"Uh... How b-bout you come back to the hotel, and I'll drive?" Dez said nervously. Austin furrowed his eyebrows again. He shrugged. That didn't make sense, but so did Dez.
"What for? What're we doing?" Austin asked suspiciously. He heard a lot of whispering and shuffling on the other end of the line and was wondering what the hell was going on. Finally, Dez reappeared on the line.
"We're just gonna have fun!" He yelled so convincingly that Austin got excited. He glanced around for his date. She still wasn't back. Austin grinned, even though his red-head buddy couldn't see him.
"Sure, why not?" Austin left a tip on the table and left the Golden Panda. He smirked as he wondered what Kira thought once her date wasn't there anymore.
Austin shuffled his feet out the door, taking the subway once again into uncharted territory.
I don't hate Kira or anything. I just needed another female character to fit this role in the story. Oh, and where do you guys think Dez and Austin are going? Maybe some video games or uh... something else?
Next chapter is gonna be a big one, just to let ya'll know. Big and important. ;)
