Breaking Free

   "Austin! stop." I cried

        I looked at him and starting crying, I coudln't help it I wasn't even doing this because I loved him, I mean how could I love him, I barely knew the kid. I got out of bed and grabbed my clothes, my feelings for Austin were starting to grow and that scared me. I put my pants on and went down the stairs with my shirt half way on, by the time I reached the door my eyes were filled with tears.

        I opened the door and ran out. I could hear Austin chasing after me, I wanted to stop but I just couldn't. I knew I was out running him but somehow I could feel him getting closer. I reached the end of the corner and felt a hand jerk me back, it was Austin.

   "Alex, listen to me you don't have to be scared." Austin said

        His eyes were watery, I couldn't tell if he was about to cry so I just looked away. I wanted to hug him and just cry but I knew it would show my weakness. I looked at the ground and sat at the edge of my curb the only reason I called it my curb is because when my mom lived here we sat there and ate cookies while talking about our day.

   "Austin I don't know where I'm going to go, I mean I have nobody!" I yelled

   "Shh.. You have me okay? Even if you want to push me away I'm going to stay." Austin stated

        I leaned my head on his shoulder and hugged him, I then felt his plump lips touch the top of my forehead. His warm sensation made me feel warm and welcomed. It felt like hours sitting there because by the time we got up the sun was setting.

   "Well should we go up and get your stuff?" Austin asked

   "Austin, I don't have anywhere to go." I exclaimed

   "I told you, you can stay with me." He chuckled

        I smiled and got up the fact that I had somebody to care about me was unbelievable. The walk home was silent and awkward I was tempted to hold his hand but I just walked out on us having sex well almost. A million things flooded my mind all of this bullshit and stuff just made me want to cry but I knew that wasn't an option I was thankful for Austin but I wasn't my feelings were mixed. We reached my door and opened it very quickly which was unusual, I stood at my staircase for a good minute before running up.

        When I reached my door I felt the hinge for one last time and stepped in the room. It was just how I left it the bed sheet smeared and the pillows on the floor. I felt two arms wrap around my waist and kiss my neck.

  "We should get going." Austin said

        I nodded in agreement and packed my bags.
