Cold, Empty Mattresses And Falling Stars

*Austin's POV*

"Can we stop off at my house so I can get my things please?" Cassidy asked as she fixed her running make up in the vanity mirror, "Yeah sure" I said softly before turning into her street and parking in her drive way, "Umm you can come in" she smiled scratching her wrist before umping out, I could tell she was nervous, about what I don't know, "Can you get Fig in her cage please?" She asked as she made her way up the stairs, I smiled and nodded before she disappeared, I picked Fig up from her basket and put her on the floor, I put some blankets and a small deep dish full of food biscuits in at the back as well as her teddy before putting her in too, she didn't seem to care as she just went back to sleep, I heard banging and crashing upstairs and quickly raced up to see if Cassidy was okay, when I went in I saw empty drawers sitting open and her taking stuff out of her wardrobe and dumping it in her suitcase, "It's not all going to fit!" She said in distress, "Cass, hey Cass, stop" I said soothingly pulling her close to me as she started to cry, whilst she was in my arms I could feel her crying harder, "Calm down okay, we can buy things when we get there" I said kissing the top of her head which seemed to make her relax a little, she nodded and pulled away from me before taking a deep breath and closing her suitcase, "I'm going to get changed" she said weakly as she took clothes from the bed and put them on. When she came out, she had took all her make up, her wedding dress and wedding/engagement rings off, "Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked, she smiled and nodded, before pulling her suitcase off her bed and putting her back pack on, "Did you get Fig?" She asked as we walked out of her room, I nodded and took her suitcase off her when we got to the bottom of the stairs so I could put it in the car, "Austin I don't have a ticket!" She said panicking as she rushed out to the car, "It's okay, I have two as my sister was supposed to be coming but she didn't want to" I smiled, she sighed and nodded before putting a sleeping Fig in the back of the car with her backpack, "Did you leave a note for Mike or anything?" I asked, she nodded and clipped her seat belt on, "I texted him" she smiled locking her phone and putting it in between her legs, "Do you have your passport?" I asked, she took it out of her back pocket and held it up smiling, "Can we just go please?" She asked, I sighed and nodded before reversing out and driving to the airport, thankfully Fig got to come on the with us as the seat in between Cass and I was not occupied and the flight attendant was a fan of my band.

On the way over to Florida Cassidy fell asleep, I pulled her phone from her pocket and used her thumbprint to unlock it, as shady as it sounded I just want to make sure Mike wasn't throwing any tantrums, I went on her texts and looked through her and Mike's I finally found the text;

"Mike, I honestly don't want to speak to you, let alone see you at all never mind right now, I can't believe you would do something like that to me, that's my sister Michael, my fucking sister. I don't want to argue as I've had enough of everything right now. I agreed to go away with Austin and I honestly don't give a fuck what you think about that because as far as I'm concerned, you and Tamara are dead to me, when the baby is older I might think about bringing him over to see you but right now I am highly against that idea. Tell everyone I love them and that I am sorry that I had to leave, what you have done is unforgivable, I don't care if you think I'm over reacting but when Vic and I were close you started throwing shade at the both of us for nothing, the most physical thing we did was hug. Please do not try to call me or text me, the same goes for Tamara, you were the biggest mistake of my life and that's me putting it as bluntly as I can.

Have a good life with Tamara, I wish the both of you two the best" I was a bit taken back at the words she managed to type out but none-the-less proud of her, she's strong, stronger than I could ever be if that happened to me, I looked over at her sleeping soundly as I reached over and put her phone back in her pocket and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead which made her stir a little but a smile appeared on her face, I can't wait to live with this girl.
