Save Me

"More than anything?" "More than myself and my own life." I said, and I meant it. "You're my life, Jez. Nothing can change that for me. If someone took you away from me, I have no clue what I would do. Before you, I thought I'd never find another girl. And I did, and now I have you, and I love you so, so much. More than you could ever imagine, baby. You mean so much to me. I cannot imagine life without you." Aus said, squeezing me to him and kissing the top of my head. I silently starton the ed crying. And then I couldn't hold it anymore, right there in the middle of the water, I started bawling into Austin's shoulder. "Baby, why are you crying?" he asked, concerned. "Because.." I said between sobs. "I've never had someone care about me so much. Ever. And I don't deserve it." I finally choked out. "Oh, love. Of course you do. You are such an amazing woman. You deserve every single bit." he said, gently playing with my hair, trying to soothe me. "Let's go home." he said, and without another word, we grabbed our stuff and left. "Aus?" I said as we laid in our extremely comfy bed. "Hmm?" he asked. "Why me?" I asked, and he knew exactly what I meant. "Because. You're amazing, beautiful and perfect, and I can't see myself with anyone else. I love you." he said, pulling me into his arms where I snuggled up close to his warm body. "I love you too, hun." I said, drifting off into a very comfortable sleep. I was in a deep, deep sleep and dreaming. "Oh you won't ever amount to anything, you freak." Acealeigh Wilkers mocked me. Acealeigh was head Varsity cheerleader and my worst enemy. She was such a jerk. But I guess when you're the most popular girl in school, you get to bully people who are different.. I kept my mouth shut. Then, she walked up to me and started whispering. "I know your mom beats you, you worthless piece of trash. I'm glad she does, you're an abomination." she said to me. I blinked hard, holding back my tears. Don't you dare cry in front of Acealeigh. You'll never live it down. Just think of how the heck her pea-sized brain even comprehends the word "abomination". I had thought to myself as she kept insulting me without anyone knowing. And finally, she walked off. And that was the end of y flashback- dream. I woke up and Austin was still asleep. I sighed and got up, getting dressed. I threw on a cute dress and shoes with my leather jacket and Chanel handbag, putting on my floral headband. I couldn't stay in this house any longer. I felt cooped up and stir crazy. I was going to go insane if I didn't get out. I left a note for Austin. Hey baby. I needed to get out of the house for a while, and when I got up, you were still asleep. Didn't want to wake you. If you need me, I'll be at the mall with Millie. I love you, to infinity and back. Meet us at the mall when you see this. xoxoxo~ your babe, Jezzy. I set the note down and left in my Bug. "Hey, Jezza, what's wrong?" Millie said when I walked straight into her house without knocking. I hugged her tight. "Jez? You okay?" Millie asked, hugging me back. "No. No, I'm not okay at all." I said, not letting my best friend go. "What's wrong, Jez?" she asked, walking me over to the couch and sitting down next to me. "I had and awful dream about Acealeigh.." I said, feeling stupid. "Acealeigh Wilkers? As in head Varsity cheerleader at high school?" Millie asked me. "Yes. as in Acealeigh Wilkers. And I have a bad feeling that we're gonna see the witch soon." I said. "Okay, well, I know you want to go to the mall, so let's go to the mall and get your mind off of things." she said, dragging me out the door and to her car. "Oh looky here, we have the two FREAKS still hanging around each other. Guess freaks and geeks never disband." Acealeigh said venomously when we ran into her at the mall, just like I thought. "Excuse you, Acealeigh, but I think you lost your title as bully of smart people, when you had to give up cheerleading because you flunked Junior year." I said, finally retaliating at her for the first time ever. "Ha. You finally got guts enough to talk back." she said. And at that moment, I felt strong tattooed arms wrap around me and Austin kissed my cheek gently. When he did this, Acealeigh's mouth dropped and I could swear you could park a car in there. "Yeah, hi. I'm Austin Carlile, lead singer of the band Of Mice & Men, and Jezabelle's boyfriend. Who are you, exactly?" Austin said to Acealeigh. "Uh- uh- uh. I- I- I- I'm Acealeigh Wilkers, Jezabelle, Millie and I went to high school together. "Oh, yes. I remember her speaking of you. You're the worst bully I've ever heard of. And listen here. If you EVER, ever speak rudely of or to my Jezzy, you will completely regret it. So don't you dare do it again, because I won't do anything, that's not fair, but I will have someone take care of it." Austin said. She was speechless. "Uhm, I'm sorry." was all she could say. "Better be." I said, grabbing Austin's hand and walking off into Hot Topic. AJ immediately walked away from the cashier area and over to us. "Hey guys!" he said, kissing Millie, hugging me and shaking Austin's hand. "Hey, AJ. How are you?" I asked, having not seen him in a while. "Oh, he's just great." a tiny girl with jet black, teased hair walked up and put her arms around AJ. "EXCUSE YOU. I'm his girlfriend, now get your hands off of him." Millie said, pulling on AJ's hand. AJ looked frightened. And totally busted. "No, honey. He's been cheating on you for the past two months." the girl said. Millie dropped AJ's hand and slapped him extremely hard across the face. "You scumbag! You better get going. Because if your stuff isn't out of my house by the time I get home, I'm making a fire pit out of it." she said, stomping out of the store. "You are lower than the scum on the bottom of the sea. Never speak to us again." I said, dragging Austin out, following Millie to her car to check on her. "Are you okay?" I asked her. "Perfectly fine." she said, but I knew she wasn't. Yet, I let it go, because I knew she wanted to be alone. --Austin's POV-- *ring..ring..ring* "Hello?" Alan's voice was groggy, so I knew he had just woken. "Hey, Alan. You're my bestfriend, so I can trust you with a huge secret right?" "Of course man. What is it?" Alan said, yawning. "Well, I kinda can't tell you over the phone, so how about a guy's night out? Me and you? I'll get Jez to go out with Bell and Mill." I said. "Yeah, sure." he said, hanging up without so much as a goodbye. "Baby?" I said to my sleeping girlfriend. "Mhm?" she said, her sweet face smiling when she opened her eyes, looking at me. God, I loved this girl with everything in me. Tomorrow would be our one year together. "Alan and I are going to have a guy's night out, can you go hang out with the girls for a while?" I said. "Yeah, babe. Sure." she said, getting up and stretching. I walked over to her, wrapping my arms around her small waist. I lifted her chin up so I could kiss her. I kissed her softly on the lips. "I love you, Austin Robert Carlile." she said, kissing me back. I smiled. "I love you more." I said, pushing her into the bathroom so I could go ahead and leave. "Okay, jerkface. Guess you wanna get rid of me, I love you. See you later." she said, closing the door. "I love you too, babe!" I yelled back as I grabbed my keys and bolted for the door. "So what's the big secret?" Alan said, ready to know what I was about to say. "Well.. I.. I'm going to propose to Jezabelle." I finally spit it out. "OH MY SWEET JESUS ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!" Alan screamed across the bar, sounding and looking like a complete madman. "God, Alan. Chill. Yes, I am. Tomorrow. But we need to get he ring tonight." I said, shushing Alan. "Okay, okay." he said, paying for our drinks and rushing me out to our cars. "Meet up at the jewelers?" I asked. "Yep." Alan said, hopping into his car, and I mine. "So you're going to propose to this girl tomorrow? And you're going to pay for it ALL tonight?" The guy at the jewelers said, astounded. "That's right." I said, scanning for the perfect ring. "How about this one, Alan?" I asked my best friend, holding up a gorgeous ring with a huge diamond on it. "Too big, Aus. You know how dainty she is right?" He said. "True. What about this one?" I asked holding up a smaller diamond with a silver band that had the words "my one true love" engraved on the inside. "Perfect, man. She's gonna be so happy." He said. I went to the register and gave the man the ring, paying him and leaving. "Okay, so I want you to tell all the guys, Oli, Bella, and Millie, SWS, PTV, Andy and his guys, and my dad to be at my house at noon tomorrow. Tell everyone to be hiding and have the lights off, we're throwing a surprise anniversary party. Okay? And if your ginger butt isn't there, by God I'll kick you into next year. "Okay, okay. Will do. See you tomorrow." He said, getting into his car and leaving. --Jez's POV-- "What do you think is taking him so long?" Bella asked me as we were curled up on the couch watching TV. "Dunno." I mumbled. ♪PRODUCT OF A MURDERER, YOU STOLE EVERYTHING!!♪ my phone rang. It was Aus. "Hey, baby." I answered. "Hello, love. I'm home, but can I talk to Bella?" He asked. Hm. Odd. I handed the phone to my sister. "Yes. Okay. Uh-huh." She said, walking out of the living room and into hers and Oli's room. A few minutes later, she came back into the living room. "Please spend the night with me?" Bella asked. "Yeah, sure." I said. I had an extra outfit in my car anyway. "Okay, yay. Girl's night. But Aus said the max time is noon tomorrow." She said, winking at me jokingly. I laughed and turned on the Titanic. The rest of the night we spent watching Titanic and crying, eating ice cream and popcorn. "Let's go! Aus'll kill me if I don't make sure you're at home on time!" Bella yelled across the house as Oli grabbed the keys to her car. I hopped in my car and drove home. I waited in the driveway for them. The lights in the house were off, so I assumed that Aus had ran down to the gas station or something. I went up to the door, sister and Oli on my tail. I unlocked it and flipped on the light. "SURPRISE!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!" everyone came out of nowhere, making me want to pee my pants. I smiled. Everyone was there. BVB, SWS, PTV, OM&M, Aus' dad, Millie. I felt like I was going to cry. Austin came up to me, dressed in a suit and tie. He wrapped his arms around me, kissing my forehead. "Happy Anniversary." He said sweetly. But what he did next caught me by surprise. Austin knelt down on one knee and pulled a gorgeous ring out. "Jezabelle Marie Andrews. Will you be my beautiful, and amazing wife?" He asked. My hand went over my mouth. I was speechless and tears were streaming down my face. "Yes. Yes. Of course." I said as he put the ring on my finger. It was gorgeous. "Ladies and gentlemen, my fiancé and future Mrs. Carlile!" He said picking me up and spinning me around. "I love you." I said, kissing him, not caring who was staring. "Always and forever?" He asked. "Of course." I said. "Congrats, lil sissy." Mike said, hugging me tight. "Thanks, Mike." I said, moving on to talk to Vic as our party raged on for the fourth hour. "Vic." I said, smiling at him. "Jezzy." He said, smiling back and picking me up off the ground as he hugged me as tight as he could. "Congrats, Jez. Love ya girly." He said, putting me down. "Thanks, Vic. Love you too, bro." I said going to talk to Andy. "Hey shorty!" He said, hugging me. "Hey, skyscraper!" I said, laugh as I hugged his small waist. "Can't be any worse than your fiancé." Andy joked. I laughed and thanked him as he congratulated me. And the party went on the rest of the night.
