Bella’s Pov:

He stared at me, disarray spilling through his emotions, my words definitely capturing his attention. “Brody? As in your ex Brody?”

“Uh, yeah.” I answered hesitantly.

He seemed a little uncertain but positively intrigued. “What about him?”

I paused for a moment; trying to string together some words that would explain the situation perfectly clear without causing any fights. “We went to the park…and got some ice-cream…” I was stalling, something I had a very bad habit of.

“Cut to the chase.” Austin told me impatiently.

“I told him about our engagement and he said some stuff…and-” I mumbled my last bit before Austin cut me off.

“What did he say about it?” He was eager…very eager to know. I wouldn’t have thought that he wanted to know what Brody thought about it, but his keenness was clearly evident.

I cocked my lips to the side, frightened how Austin would react. “Bella…” He glared at me.

“He confessed that he was still in love with me…” I announced guiltily.

Immediately Austin shot up from the couch. “He what?!” His voice was rising, making it obvious that he was beginning to grow mad.

I dropped my head on the slightest angle before looking up at his towering body. “I’m s-”

Austin wouldn’t allow me to continue. Instead he had cut me off.  “Why would you even see him? He’s your ex, Bella!”

“We’re still friends!” I retaliated back. “Well…we were.”

He completely ignored what I said. It was like my voice was entirely immune to his ears. “Vise versa you wouldn’t like me seeing my ex. Remember how you acted when I bumped into Stephanie? And that was just a few minutes with her let alone being actual friends with her. You would lose your mind.”

He made a good point, a very good point. “I’m sorry, okay? It’s not like anything happened-” I immediately paused, all of a sudden, realising what else Brody had done to me today.

The sudden pause had definitely caught Austin attention. He shot his head up at me, his expression on his face was apparent that he was curious. He didn’t need to say anything to guess what was happening, to guess what Brody had done. Austin began to shake his head side to side, slowly, trying his hardest not to believe the harsh truth of reality. “No.”

The feeling was unpleasant. I felt bad, like a huge disappointment. As much as I didn’t want to believe it, it was well and truly real. “It was just a kiss-” Austin shot his hands up to his head, turning his direction and began pacing slowly, which only encouraged me to spit my words out faster. “It happened so fast. He leaned into me first when I was about to leave and I pushed him off of me as quickly as possible. I swear to god Austin I didn’t mean it.” I tried my best to defend myself, to convince Austin to understand the situation and where I’m coming from.

The look on his face frightened me in all honesty. He was fuming on the inside and tried his hardest to keep it under control. He struggled with words at first, saying something quick then stopping to figure out something different to say, but all he managed to let out was, “What the fuck?!” He stopped pacing.
