This Is Faithfulness At Its Finest
Darling You'll Be Okay
- Nicole's POV -
I explained everything to Mia.
Michael.
How I'm 18 now.
That I need to find my own place.
"Whoa hey, you can stay with me at my apartment!" she smiled.
"Really?" I perked up.
"Of course!"
I hugged her.
"Thank you."
I felt my phone start to buzz.
I took it out.
Austin was calling.
I looked up at Mia.
"Answer it!"
"I don't know.."
What am I doing?
MY ALL TIME CELEBRITY CRUSH IS CALLING ME.
She frowned at me.
"Okay, okay."
I pressed answer.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Nicole! Hey."
"Hey."
"So would you like to hang out today? Like, right now?"
"It's only been an hour." I laughed.
"Yeah, I know.." he chuckled.
"I'm just messing with you. Of course we can."
"Yes! I mean... Alright. Where can I pick you up from?"
Before I could speak, Mia butted in.
"10918 e 26th street. See you there!"
Then she clicked the phone and hung us up.
"Hey, why'd you do that?!" I asked.
"I didn't want you guys to be that 'you hang up first', 'no you hang up first' kind of couple." she said sarcastically.
I laughed and shook my head.
We headed down to where her apartment was and went inside.
She helped me with my make-up and outfit.
I slipped on black skinny jeans and a Star Wars shirt.
Another thing I loved.
I smiled at Mia.
"Thank you. We don't even really know each other and you're letting me stay with you... Which is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me."
She grinned and hugged me tight.
There was a knock on the door.
I looked at her.
"Shall I answer it?"
"You shall."
We both laughed as I walked to the door, and opened it.
Austin was standing in the door way wearing a Slipknot shirt and skinny jeans.
"Yes!" we both shouted as we pointed to each others shirts.
I giggled and gave him a hug.
Mia was standing behind us with her hand over her mouth, smiling.
Austin looked over at her.
"Hey, is this your roommate?" he asked pointing at her.
"Um, actually yes, since today." I smiled looking at her.
"And you're a fan! Well you'll be seeing me a lot more often now." he walked over to her and gave her a huge hug.
"Thank you for keeping me alive."
A tear began to roll down her face.
"Hey, don't cry. You're amazing and I love you, okay?" he hugged her again.
He was such a great person.
How could anyone ever hurt him?
He turned back to me and grabbed my hand.
"Let's go." he smiled and we walked out the door.
He opened his car door and led me inside, then hopped in.
"I'm going to take you to Starbucks. Alright?"
Oh no.
"Um, I don't know if that's such a good idea.." I rubbed the back of my neck.
"Why?"
"I kinda live right beside there... And I don't want my.. "dad" to see me again. I don't even want to see him as a matter of fact."
I shook my head.
He looked at me with a confused look.
"I know, I know... Always respect your parents. But how can I respect a parent who doesn't even respect me? Who doesn't love me? Who hates me? Who's the reason for my self harm, depression, eating disorder issues, and everything else? Who abused me everyday? Who... Did things to me? I just.. I just can't go back there Austin. Please understand."
He put his hand on mine.
"Hey, hey, it's okay. We don't have to. I don't know what you're going through, but I know it's not good. I'll help you through every minute of this. I promise."
He bent down and kissed each one of my scars.
I loved this man for so long, and look where I am now.
I couldn't believe this was happening, but I was more than grateful that it was.
"Let's just go back to my house. I want the guys to meet you up close and personal."
I smiled slightly and looked out the window.
He started the car, but didn't let go of my hand.
Did he really like me?
I knew I really liked him.
But I want to know if he likes me as much as I do him.
I was about to really meet my idols.
The people I basically worshiped.
My stomach was churning.
I met them at the signing, but this was different.
I'd be seeing these guys almost everyday.
What if I do something stupid like always?
I was terrified.
I started to shake slightly.
Austin looked at me.
"Hey, it's okay, you're gonna be fine. I know you're scared. They'll love you."
That made me feel a little bit better.
But I still wanted to puke.
I had the worst social anxiety anyone could imagine having.
I looked at Austin and smiled.
Then we arrived at his house.
He let go of my hand.
Here we go.
I explained everything to Mia.
