Promises Were Meant To Be Broken

Chapter 30 (Part 1)

Austin

I stared at my phone, trying to decide if I should call her or not. I've been like this for about two hours. I want to hear her beautiful voice, but I might be pushing things too fast. I just got her back, well technically. 

I dialled her number. My heart started racing. Just after the first ring, I hung up. Sighing, I threw my phone across my bed. My fingers ran through my hair as I closed my eyes, letting out a frustrating sigh. My mind thought back to that day on the tree house

Flashback

Me and Becky were 14

I strummed my guitar, thinking of what else to sing until I heard someone coming up

I stopped until I saw that it was Becky

“Becky! What are you doing here?” I asked surprised

“I was walking back from the mall when I heard you singing up here” She smiled

I loved her smile. It always gave me this feeling inside before I even knew I was in love

And I don’t know why

She came and sat next to me

“Keep singing. I like hearing you sing."

I smiled at her then strummed my guitar, knowing exactly what to sing

"The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful stop me from stealing my breath. Emeralds from mountains, thrust towards the sky never revealing their depth."

My back straightened as a smile formed upon my face

"Tell me that we belong together. Dress it up with the trappings of love. I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above."

She put on the beautiful smile of hers. I admire her beauty. Her beautiful face and personality. I strummed my guitar louder as I went into the chorus.

"I'll be your crying shoulder, I'll be love suicide. I'll be better when I'm older, I'll be the greatest fan of your life"

I don’t know why but that just felt like the right song to sing to her. I continued singing while she started blushing. I thought it was cute. Her eyes gazed at me never leaving with each word that I sang out my mouth.

By the time it I was finished, she was amazed

“Austin, you have an amazing voice!” She yelled amazed. I sighed releaved

“Oh good, I thought I did bad. And thanks. I was singing it to you”

“I know” She told smirking and kissed me in the cheek

We always did that

“I love you Austin.”

“I love you too Becky”

I meant in a sisterly way

But when she said it to me, I felt like we had a connection

I ignored it. We hugged

I’m so glad I have a best friend like Beck

I shook my head, thinking of how much of an idiot I was for missing all the hints. My mind thought back to another flashback. 

“Please wake up Becky. I love you. I’m sorry for what I’ve done. I didn’t mean any of it. I broke it off with Taylor. Please. Don’t leave us. Don’t leave me.” I whispered.
