So, this story is slow,y coming to the end, I think it's going to be this chapter and the the epilogue😇

It's snowing rn and I'm upset about it...

| HUDSON |

"So, what'd you learn about people?" Zach asks.

"Just, that some people lie to fuck shit up" I shrug, and I see Austin shift uncomfortably, in his chair.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll explain later" I shake my head, not wanting Austin to hear. The bell rings and I stand up, Zach grabbing my wrist and dragging me to his locker.

"Now tell me"

"Someone's eager" I laugh "But anyway, if you must know. Austin and I had ended things because his girlfriend is pregnant, and I told him I wouldn't continue because he's having a baby. A few days later, he texted me telling me that he didn't care that I didn't want to be with him, and he's better off without me and what not, but when he saw Blake ask me to prom he got pissed off. So he lied to me, so I'd come crawling back to him, but little does he know I don't actually give a fuck" I explain with a laugh.

"It's because he likes you" Zach flicks my forehead.

"You're funny" I roll my eyes, there's no way Austin could possibly like me.

"He may not act like it, and he may not think he does. But I know he does. I know my best friend and I can assure you, he loves you"

"Woah woah, why'd you go from like to love?" I ask I surprise.

"Because I know if I started with love, you'd flip shit" He chuckles "But really, he does and I know it"

"You're being ridiculous"

"If telling the truth makes me ridiculous, then I'm extremely ridiculous" He shrugs, walking away from me.

"Hey, you wanna go dress shopping with me?" Mandy, Jason's girlfriend, asks me.

"Sure" I shrug, and we walk out of my car, driving to the mall. We get out and head straight to the dress shop, Mandy more interested than I am. I just can't get the thought of Austin loving me out of my head. I've never thought about Austin in that way, but in reality I can't say I don't have any feelings for him. Like, for example he's extremely attractive, compassionate, caring, sweet, and though he can be a total pain in my ass, I wouldn't trade the time we had together for anything.

"Hudson!" Mandy yells in my face.

"What?" I snap out of my daze.

"I found a dress for you" She holds up this dark blue dress and I raise my eyebrows.

"Wow, it's nice"

"Put it on you dumb ass" She tosses it at me, shooing me to a dressing room. I try on the dress, looking at myself in the mirror in surprise. I walk out of the dressing room and Mandy gasps.

"You look amazing!" She gushes, and I laugh "We're buying it" She pushes me back inside the dressing room. I change back into my clothes and carry the dress to the cashier, handing her my dads credit card. She takes it and hands me my dress, and I wait as Mandy pays for hers.

"Ready?" I ask, and she nods the two of us walking to my car.

"So, are you going to tell me what you were thinking about?" Mandy asks as we pull out of the parking lot of the mall.

"Nothing" I shake my head.

"Oh bullshit, tell me" She smacks my arm.

"Just some guy" I shrug, and she gasps dramatically.

"Tell me who!"

"It's nobody" I shake my head, and she rolls her eyes.

"Hudson, please. Dating the same guy for 4 years is boring"

"Austin" I mumble, and her eyes widen.

"Mahone?" She gasps and I nod "Oh my god, why?" She asks, and so I tell her everything, and as I tell the story she nods, and listens intently, and the best part is, she hadn't judged me for it.

"... And I think I might be in love with him" I finish in a mumble, and she sits back with her eyes wide.

"Why do you think that?"

"Because, thinking over everything just made me realize the feelings I actually have for him"

"I'm not judging you, but he has a girlfriend" She says, as I pull into the driveway of her house.

"I know he does" I sigh, running a hand over my face "And that's why I'll never tell him how I feel"
