CHANCES (L.T.)

~~~TWENTY SEVEN~~~

Let us take the time to appreciate him

Austin's pov. 

I was stupid yesterday. I should not have taken his cigarettes and chuck them out. It was pure stupidity. And after I said shit he left with out a word. I haven't seen him since yesterday well I kind of locked myself in my room not really getting out. But now I don't have a choice because I have to leave for school in half an hour. 

I tie the laces for shoes and throw my bag over my shoulders and leave my room for breakfast. When I went downstairs I saw Jenifer and Louis there talking. I take my usual seat and Jenifer places a plate of food in front of me. 

"So did you boys survive on take out the whole weekend?" She asks. I couldn't help but grin at that question. 

Louis was about to say something but I cut him off and answered it instead. 

"Well yeah if you minis the little incident" I say my smirk growing bigger .

The minute I said that  Jenifer looked at louis and said "What did you do?"

"What makes you think I did something?" he asks offended. 

"You have a long and very convincing history of it" she answers. 

Louis again opens his mouth to say something but I cut him off again. 

"He may or may not have set off the smoke alarm" 

I sort of expected her to yell at him but she bursted out laughing while louis was glaring at me. 

"Why are you laughing ?" I asked confused.

"Because this would be the 5th time he has set the smoke alarm off" She says in between laughs.

Now it was my turn to burst out laughing. While the two of us were laughing louis just sat there turning crimson. 

"What did he try and make?" Jenifer asked once she sort of calmed down. 

Louis was giving me a death glare from across the table but I could care less. 

"He tried to make pancakes in the oven!" that just made her laugh harder again. 

Louis rolled his eyes at us and mumbled   "How was I supposed to know pancakes are not made in the oven?" 

We all stopped laughing after a bit and continued our breakfast while Jenifer was cleaning the kitchen. 

Louis's pov. 

The two of them laughed their asses of because I set of the smoke alarm for the 4 times before. Even though everyone was laughing and stuff what Austin said yester day was still in my head. 

"I lost mom to cancer I don't want to loose another person too" and I have taken the decision based on that. 

We were all eating while Jenifer was cleaning up the kitchen. She took some stuff ti chuck n the dustbin. But she stopping in front of the dustbin. 

"Who's cigarette packs are these?" she asks.

I could see Austin tense up but he does not look up and continues to look only at his food. 

"That would be mine" I say looking at Jenifer but from the corner of my eye I could see Austin look up a bit confused. 

"Why did you throw them?" She asks confused.

"I am trying to quit smoking"  I say.  That catches Austin's attention he looks at me completely confused. 

"Really?" he asks softly so I can only hear. 

I nod with a smile. 

To that Austin smiled. But this smile was different it was more genuine it was a smile that I would remember for ever. Because for the first time I am the reason he his smiling and I want to do whatever I can to keep that smile on his face.
