Oli's P.O.V

I sighed and sunk my way into the back of the cab, Austin caught my gaze as he climbed in beside me, I shot him a sheepish smile and hoped it would be enough. As he relayed the directions to the gruff looking driver, I took the time to let my surroundings sink in. I could see the glow of the city out in the distance, something that felt so familiar...yet so foreign. I turned to catch eyes with Austin once again, he smiled in triumph as we began are journey to his...our...house.

I could tell Austin was was excited for his arrival, and I found myself gulping and my hands shook with tremors, this was all so unreal. The ride to the house was quiet, except for the occasional outbursts from Austin as he pointed out landmarks around the LA scene, I simply nodded then found myself once again succumbed into a deep thought. I couldn't fathom how pathetic I must come off as, with one suitcase of items and cloths to my name and not a dime in my pocket, I must have been a charity case for Austin.

'Yesthatsexactlywhatyouare.' I jumped as the voice pushed its way into my head, It had been so long since it had haunted my mind, plaguing me with horrible thoughts and leading me down a self-destructive path. I felt tears well in my eyes, and my hands shot up to my ears, doing anything I could to drown out the sound of the voice chanting over and over again.

'JuststopOli,youknowthatwontwork.'

"Get out."

I muttered under my breath, that's when I felt a warm hand sneak its way on my shoulder, causing me to jump once again. I shook my head before daring let my hands drop to my sides, the felt like anchors. I hadn't noticed the tears that formed in my eyes, or even noticed as they pushed their way down my cheeks, 'waytogoOli,makehimfeelevenmoresorryforyou.'

I choked back a sob, earning a strange look from the driver in the rear view, Austin scooted next to me and placed his arm around my waist and pulled my body to his. He took his other arm and carefully wiped the tears from my eyes, before pushing my head into his chest. I pulled him closer and used my free hand to ball it in his shirt, finally letting the realization of everything that had happened spill over me. He didn't say a word, nor ask me why I why i was crying to start with. He just held me into his chest and uttered "everything will be okay." over and over again until I felt myself calm down, though i still found myself clinging onto him like my life depended on it. In a sense it did.


Austin's P.O.V


I tried to lighten the mood in the dreary cab, by showing Oli some of the more notable landmarks, but he seemed out of place, like his mind was elsewhere. I sighed sadly, and rolled my head to the side trying in vain to get the kink out of my neck from sitting on the bus. That's when I caught Oli sitting with his head in his hands and uttering something I couldn't make out under his breath, he was shaking violently and tapping his feet in a fast rhythm on the floorboards. I reached out to him, causing him to jump as if he was shocked by my actions, or forgot that I was here. He shakily took a breath before looking at me, his beautiful hazel eyes were fogged over with tears that had already made a way down his porcelain cheeks, I caught the driver shooting him a curious look, which i shot back; signalling to pay attention and leave us be.

I pulled Oli into me and was surprised as he wrapped himself around me and wiped the tears from his eyes, noting all the while how his bottom lip quivered. I hastily pulled his head towards me and felt as he automatically began to cry harshly into my chest. I forced myself to remain calm, as I stroked his hair and whispered heart felt things into his ears; after a while he calmed down. Just in time for us to pull in front of my house, I carefully reached into my pocket and handed the money to the driver, I nodded at Oli who nodded his head in assurance before grabbing his bags, and handing mine to me, I slipped my guitar case on as we made our way out of the cab and up the driveway.

"Wow Austin, this is an amazing place you have." Oli beamed at it, in total awe.

I chuckled, "Thanks, it's really to much for me...but I like it alright."

As we made it up to the front door and i fished my keys out of my pocket, and unlocked the door. I could see Oli's jaw drop as he followed me inside, looking at everything but nothing in particular, before locking eyes with me and grinning like a mad man. He dropped his bag and flung himself into my arms, almost knocking me down but I used his momentum to spin him around; earning a chuckle from him. I wasn't sure what was bothering him earlier but I hoped that this was the start of something perfect.



Unknown P.O.V


I was shocked when Austin and this man didnt even notice me follow them back to the house. I parked across the street as I watched them enter the house, leaving the door wide open. I saw the strange man fling himself into MY Austin, and watched in disgust as he spun him around, like he used to do to me...this wasn't going to happen.

I was going to end this.

I'm going to get those two separated.

I will do whatever it takes to make Austin mine again, even if that was going to be the death of me.

Notes

Is Austin starting to get even stronger feelings for him?
and just what on earth is this stranger planning??
