Falling For You (Austin Mahone Love Story)

Part 18: I Was Right

We stood there staring at each for what seemed like forever. I still didn't know what I wanted to do. The fact that I don't want to leave my mom, but also I don't want to not see him for a year. Although what he said about us not being able to be together kinda pissed me off. I looked down at my feet until Austin broke the silence.

"Girl I see it in your eyes you’re disappointed
‘Cause I’m the foolish one that you anointed with your heart
I tore it apart
And girl what a mess I made upon your innocence
And no woman in the world deserves this
But here I am asking you for one more chance"

He started singing. Of course he started singing. He knows that I melt at his voice and the fact that he looked in my eyes the entire time. Well I did something that surprised us all. While looking down at my feet I replied with..

"I took a chance, I took a shot
And you might think i'm bulletproof, but i'm not
You took a swing, I took it hard
And down here from the ground I see who you are"

I sang right back at him. I don't know what told me to do it or why I did, it just felt right. I looked around at everyone's faces and their jaws were literally on the floor. No one has ever heard me sing before except for Austin and my mom. I smiled a little smile at them. It felt good have people hear my voice.

"Darling, I know your heart's seen better times
I know our songs had better rhymes
Before today
Darling, I guess I made the wrong mistakes
I understand if you need your space
Please take your time

Before you go away, so far away you need to realize

Baby, it's not just you
You know it hurts me too
Watching you leave
With tears on your sleeve
 Don't you notice that mine aren't exactly dry
Baby, it's not just you
That's hurting
It's me too"

Somewhere during that he walked towards me so now he was standing right in front of me. We were both staring into each others eyes. I felt everything rush out of my mind. I instantly forgot about everything. I didn't care about what he said, I didn't care about my mom or anyone else, and lastly I didn't care about staying home anymore. I just wanted to be with him. After he finished that last note he crashed his lips onto mine.

"I'd hate to break this cute little thing up but we gotta get going. We still have to drop Alex and Sarah off at the airport." Dave yelled from across the street where everyone was standing looking at us. When I said everyone I mean Alex, Sarah, Mama, Rocco, the dancers, and of course Dave. We laughed and pulled apart.

"So, are you going to come with us?" He looked at me with hopeful eyes. I stood there silent. I thought everything over again. Did I really want to go away for a year. Yeah, I would miss him but what about my mom? I mean we already lost my Dad....I think. I just wouldn't feel right leaving her here. If Austin really cared about me, he would accept my decision.

"I....I can't leave my mom. If you honestly care and love me then you'll understand where I am coming from. I am going to miss you like crazy, but I have to do what I think is right. If coming on tour was the right thing to do then I wouldn't have second guessed it. I am sure our relationship will be fine as long as we are both willing to make it work. I trust you with my whole heart and I'm willing to make it work. Are you?" I was the one looking at him with hopeful eyes now. He looked down and just turned on his heels and walked away toward the bus. Was he not willing to make it work? I feel like my heart was just stabbed twenty times. "I still love you." I mumbled wondering if he even heard it.

"I still love you too and if you think we can work out then I believe in us too. I'm willing to try anyways. I just really wish you'd come with me."  He turned and walked up to me placing his lips on top of mine only to be dragged away by Dave. "Bye, I'll text you when I start to miss you." Austin said letting me go.
