chapter 9
Austin point of view
"So, did you and Dez get along on free night?" Clara asks me as we are doing our lessons. I chuckle a bit cause yeah, we did get along.
"Yeah, it was fun"
"Do you like him?" She asks innocently and I almost fall over.
"What?"
"Do you like, like him as a boyfriend? Cause if you do, I totally don't mind! It's cute!" She screeches.
I chuckle. I really do want to call Dez mine but I just don't want to screw up like I did with my last boyfriend...
I always had to watch what I said and do what he wanted when he stated I should do it . If I didn't, I would get a punishment. It was pretty abusive. But it's over now. I shouldn't think about though, it's not worth it.
When Clara and I's lesson was over, I was disappointed not seeing Dez. Why isn't he here? I decide to call him.
"Hello?" I hear his voice say
"Hey Dez. It's Austin. Why didn't you pick up Clara tonight?"
"I'll be honest, I wasn't feeling the best today" he says
"What's wrong?" I ask
"Noting" he says and I don't believe him. I've Said that too many times and usually things don't turn out well because of it.
"I'm coming over. Can I come over?" I ask him.
"I guess, but-"
"I'm coming over" I say sternly and hang up.
Whatever is bothering Dez, I'll help him. He can trust me.

I arrive at Dez's house and he answers the door and we go up to his room.
"So what's wrong? And don't say nothing because I know your lying because I use the same lie"
Dez sighs and shows me his phone. I see a bunch of texts that are negative. I guess these really get him down. I go to settings and block all these numbers.
"I blocked the numbers" I say and he smiles and hugs me. I don't realize why he couldn't do it himself though.
"Thanks" he whispers into my chest and I run my hand trough his hair. He then mumbles, "so what are we?"
"I thought I told you that I wanted to wait and ask properly" I say
"It's just .. I've been used before and i don't want to go through it again"
"Same with me"
It seems we have gone through some of the same things ... And hopefully we can overcome them together.
