Save Me

The past two weeks I had been hanging out with Millie and Bella a lot. Almost every day. And I'm pretty sure Austin was getting very agitated, but he didn't show it whatsoever. I could see it in his eyes. He was getting jealous of my best friend and my sister. But I tried to ignore it. "So, how have you and Aus been?" Millie asked me when I was over at her house when AJ was gone. "Uhh.. I think he's getting mad at me, if he's not already mad at me." I said, stuffing my mouth with my fruit parfait. "Why do you say that?" she asked me. "Because I've been with you and Bell more than with him." I said, looking down at the counter. "Well then maybe you should go home and spend some quality time with him. He must miss you." she said. "Yeah, that's probably a good idea." I said, grabbing my parfait, hugging Millie, and taking my keys and leaving. As I headed home, I thought of what was to come. Surely he won't make too big a deal out of it.. right? I thought to myself. But I didn't have much time to think because I only lived two blocks down from my best friend and was home as soon as I left her house. I shut off the car and went into our huge home. Austin was sitting on the couch, staring blankly at the wall. "Hey, baby. Are you okay?" I asked, coming to sit next to him. But instead of pulling me into his arms as I expected, he shoved me away. As an instantaneous reaction, I flinched away and covered my head. No. No. Not Austin too. Not my baby. No. He can't start hurting me too. Not like my mother. Please, God. Please don't let him hurt me, God. I prayed silently in my head. "No I'm not okay! You've been ditching me for your sister and Millie for the past two weeks!!" I sat in silence, staring at the floor. I knew it was always better to just keep my trap shut. Better not to retaliate. "What?! Now you're not gonna talk?! Huh?! Why's that Jezabelle?! You don't love me anymore?! I figured!!! I knew you'd leave, lose feelings for me.. JUST LIKE YOU DID WITH KELLIN!" he screamed as loud as he could at me. By this time, I was curled up into the fetal position, scared for my life. I was bawling my eyes out, but he wouldn't stop screaming at me. I heard the door open. I heard footsteps approaching quickly, even over Austin's yelling. "Aus! What are you doing, man?!" I heard Alan's voice, and Austin stopped yelling. "What's wrong with you?!" Alan yelled at him. "I-I- I don't know." Austin calmed down then, and I got up, running up to our room, slamming the door and locking it. I ran to the bed, laid down and started crying even more. I cried so hard I gave myself a headache. I cried until I couldn't cry any longer. I'm the worst girlfriend ever. What the heck is wrong with me? I'm such crap. Maybe I should disappear.. I thought. There was a knock on the door. I ignored it. "It's Alan." he said, trying to open the locked door. I went and unlocked it, going back to the bed immediately. Alan opened the door and sat down next to me on the bed. Alan wrapped his arms around me, rocking me back and forth. I wanted to scream at Austin and ignore him for days. But I knew it would only make things much worse. "Hey, he was just overreacting. He just misses you a lot." Alan tried to comfort me. "I thought he was going to hurt me.. he shoved me.." I said, still crying. "Austin would never hurt you. He loves you way too much. You are his everything. He would die for you, Jezzy. It's just that sometimes, when he doesn't know how else to handle his feelings, he gets angry." Alan said. The door opened again. Austin's tall figure was all I could see in the doorway. He came towards Alan and I. Alan let go of me. Austin pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead. "I'm so, so, so, so sorry, baby. That was so wrong of me. I shouldn't of done that. Any of it. Especially pushing you. That was very wrong, and I apologize a million times over. I love you. Please forgive me, love." Austin said, kissing my forehead again. Alan left us alone, then. "It's okay.. but I'm sorry too, I should have been spending more time with you." I said, crying more. "Shh. No, it's okay. I was just getting jealous and selfish." Austin said, hugging me to him. After that, I fell to sleep, exhausted from us fighting.
I woke up about 3 hours later, around 12 pm. Austin was standing out on the balcony just outside our room. I went out there and wrapped my arms around his waist. "Hello, love." he said softly. "Hello." I said. "Jez, you know that you're my everything, right?" Austin said, turning to face me. "Did you know that you are my everything as well?" I said to him. "I love you more than anything in the world, Jezabelle Marie Andrews." he said, kissing me. "I love you too, Aus." I said. "To infinity and back?" he asked. "To infinity and back." I replied, laying my head on his bare and tattooed chest. "Hey, why don't we go to the beach? It's a beautiful day." Austin said, lifting my ace up so that I was looking at him. "Yeah, sure." I said, going into the room and getting my bathing suit on, grabbing my stuff. "Hey, will you put Lily in her cage with some food and water? I don't want her making a mess in the house." I asked Austin. "Yeah, I got it."
"Austin!" I screamed as he picked me up and threw me off the dock and into the deep water. He jumped in after me. I came to the top of the water and slapped him on the back. "OW!" he said, rubbing his back. "PAYBACK SUCKS HUH?!" I yelled at him. We both busted out into laughter. "Come here." Austin said, swimming over to me and pulling me into his arms. He kissed me softly. "I love you." he said. "I love you too." I said, kissing him again.
