Capture It Remember It

Question...?

"Good guys are not drug dealers neither drug addicted nor into mafia and all that shit! " Austin explained

"Huh? What..?" Taylor asked

Joe almost gasped. He turned his hands into fists. He's screwed. Swiftly, he punched Austin's face once, and pushed him against the closet with his hands choking him.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY??" Joe asked

Austin did his best to talk but Joe was choking him.

"JOE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!? STOP!" Taylor ran to him and tried to pull Joe's hands away from her brothers neck

"TAKE IT BACK!!" Joe screamed at him

"N-no..." Austin's face was reddening up...

"JOE PLEASE STOP! YOU'RE CHOKING HIM!" she was too close to cry

"T-taylor y-you needd to r-run away from him as s-soon as possib-ble" Austin stuttered

"Joe, stop...please" this time, the tears were rolling down her cheeks

Then, he turned his head at her direction. Her tears, and her sad face were enough to make him loosen his grip around Austin's throat. He bit his lower lip and closed his eyes, sighing.

Austin gagged, coughed and tried to take in deep breaths. Soon, he was getting back to his normal color shape. However, he tried to support himself onto the closet.

She got close to him and put her hand on his chest. "Are you okay!?" Taylor was concerned.

He coughed again and again and again "I- I am"

After that, she looked back at Joe. His face seemed to be blank. No emotions were filling it. She swallowed at the sight of him being emotionless. This time, she was scared of him... No...

"I-Uh, A-Austin... I'm terribly sorry..." he ran his hurt fingers through his hair

"SHUT THE FUCK UP" Taylor yelled at him and hugged Austin

Joe took a step back and lowered his head. "I couldn't accept the fact that he lied about me" Joe said

"I didn't lie" Austin whispered

Breathing in and out, Joe knew Austin wasn't lying but he couldn't tell all these to Taylor.

"How do you know that Austin?" she asked

"I-... I got a strange call from someone. I don't remember who. That guy told me everything about your 'lover'. By that time, I knew that staying with him under the same roof was wrong. And I came here to tell you to watch out and pick up your things and come with me "Austin explained once again

Immediately she looked up at Joe who was staring at her and only her" Is it true...? "she whispered "Is it true?!" she said louder "IS IT FUCKING TRUE?!"

"It's not" he said in a monotonous way

"IT FEELS LIKE IT IS" She screamed and got close to him and started to hit his chest.

"Taylor... Stop, it's not true. I...I promise you"

"My brother wouldn't lie!! He-would-never-lie-to-me! But you would...!" she hit him again "I HATE YOU! I FUCKING HATE YOU! I'M SICK OF YOU!"

"Taylor, it was a random call!" he said a bit louder "You need to trust me!"

"HOW CAN I TRUST YOU WHEN YOU ACT LIKE THIS?! WHEN YOU BREAK MIRRORS WITH YOUR OWN HANDS OR WHEN YOU ALMOST CHOKE MY BROTHER TO DEATH!? HOW CAN I TRUST YOU!?" she pushed him back, and she was about to hit his chest again but he grabbed her wrists and stopped her
