How Could This Work? 14. Florida, here we come
The weekend arrived sooner than we expectet. Maybe that was because Austin and I had to focus on a new thing for both of us. Our relationship. The last few days I watched every soccertraining after school on the sidelines, we kissed in the storageroom, texted through all our classes and he practically moved into my room. So we didn't even recognised that our time was up. ,,Allright, that was the last box, finally. Say your goodbyes, son, and we can get going!", my dad Jack announced, closing the trunk.

,,Make yourself at home.", I said and gestured to my room. ,,Thank you for the invitation." Austin stepped in and looked around my room as if it were the first time he saw it. ,,It's not the first time you stayed over, what's impressing you so much?" Austin set his school bag next to my desk and took a seat on my bed, but still looking around my room. Is it just me, or is he feeling strangely comfortable already after the second time here?

,,Do you want to go out with me?" I knew for a while now, that Austin would ask me that. For the month I started at this school, I could see that he would ask me eventually. And I did my best to avoid this situation all this time. Actually for as long as I can remember I ran away from this question and to face this now, not knowing what it would lead to in the end, was scaring. So before I took the jump, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes ... let's try that." Austin hugged me tight, not letting go of my hand and I could feel his bright grin against my shoulder. "You finally said yes! Don't be scared, we can overcome every challenge life will give us. I'm so glad to be able to be together with you, I promise I won't hurt you, honey." The nickname made me shiver a bit, but it wasn't all that bad. "Your overreacting. I'm your boyfriend because I trust you and believe in you, but I will ne

,,So, ... it's not a date? I guess, I never asked you officially on a date. So ... want to make this our second date?" It was noticeable that he avoided eye contact, which was unusual for him. That I wanted to talk about something must have totally put him on edge. ,,You know, I don't get you. You seem to be interested in me, you went on the first date with me, but rejected me when I asked you out or when we talk about feelings at all. And on the other hand you're sometimes so seductive, like being all cute and vulnerable and all. After the bathroom incident, I understood that you had some seperation anxiety, because of your bad experiences. That time I just hoped that we could stay friends, because I really want to stay in contact. When you said that you had something to say, I feared it was a rejection of some kind again. And then you start with asking me for a date? What's all that supposed to mean? I don't understand anything anymore." Austin looked

"What happend yesterday after we left?""Nothing big. He just walked me home and we talked. Jonathan is such a nice guy.""Oh? Nice guy, huh? So Gab DOES like him too. Hopefully it all will end well.", was what I thought when I read his answer."Nice guy? In what sense?"Gab blushed a bit when he read my note and played with his fingers flusterd."Nothing, just he was so worried about me when I woke up in the nurses office. Jonathan and Jacob always went easy on me. I was just happy that they apollogized and trying to make it up to me."Well, that was a good response. Hopefully he won't get his hopes up too high.I honestly don't want him to get a heartbreak from his bully."Ok buddy, but don't get your hopes up too high. Don't jump into something without thinking it through and talking the whole bully situation out, please."When he read the note, he looked over to me, nodded and smiled slightly.Gab wrote one la

Shortly after that, Austin and I were laying in my room.Luckily my new family wasn´t home tonight and were staying with some friends, or the sleepovers with Gab and Austin wouldn't have been possible.Austin was taking a shower right now and I switched through the TV channels to search for something good to watch."Thanks for letting me stay over and for the change of clothes ..."Austin stood in the doorway, looking funny but also sexy in my way too tiny top and shorts.My top was too short on him and showed his belly and therefore his packs.Sadly it was embarrissing for him, so he pulled the top down."Hahahaha, your way to big for my stuff!""Thats not funny! I can't do anything about it, that I'm taller than you." The shame set his face on fire. "Thats the biggest stuff you have?""Sorry, I didn't meant to be rude. I don't like it if my stuff is too big for me, so I don't have many wide shirts."He acc

"And here I thought you wanted to talk about how you called me your crush.", I faked ignorance.Hot soccerguy choked on his own salvia."Uhm ... that was ... abou that ... I'm sorry." He stuttered so bad, he didn't know what he was saying."Don't worry, Austin, I just wanted to tease you a bit." I tried to reassure him."So, I can call you my crush?" With saying that, he seemed more confident."It's your choice who you fall for. What do I have to say how you feel about other people?"His smile in that moment could compete with a hot summerday."I really love you, Ash!" He looked like a child who got his favourite candy.While I didn't respond and just turned my head to hide my blush. Eventhough I was sure he saw it. Because he put his hand on my shoulder, turned me to face him and looked dead serious."You're blushing again. And I still don't know how your feeling about me."I felt like getting dragged into

Suddenly the door to the boys toilet opened and would show Austin standing in the doorway, looking surprised."What's going on here?"He looked at the situation, almost seemed like he tried to figure what happend with these guys and us."Dude, nice that you're here! Come here, we're having some fun with these weaklings! Do you want to mess with them too?", shouted the biggest guy, who was with Gabriel.Austin only exchanged a look with me, most likely to check if I'm ok, before he turned back to the guy."Daniel, what were you thinking to pick on people again?" Austins voice was menacing and ice cold. ,,The last time you messed with people, you promised me to stop this bullshit! Because I beat the shit out of you, have you forgotten that already?""Calm down, man! This tiny crybaby here is crying no matter what you do to him. And the other one walked in, so we had to keep him from telling on us. So it's no big deal."Austin grabbed Da

The last few days were an emotional rollercoaster. First there was this call from my Nona, the fear of the murders coming after me and now the realisation that I had a crush on the hot soccerguy. To be honest, I didn't expect that I would have already been falling so hard for him. Of course he's good-looking and always being nice, but thats not enough reason to fall for someone, is it? ,,Whatever happend between you two, I think you should make up. He seems to be important to you." Vanessa proposed. ,,And don't worry about a home, you're always welcome at our home.", Jack was being nice. It was nice, that I would get a new family with 16 years of age. But would it all end like in a fairy tale? I'm quite pessimistic! ... Well, old habits won't die. Because, honestly all my past adoptive parents were nice and the first few times I was quite optimistic and believed in a future. Thats why it was that words had such an big i

Prologue
13 years agoI don´t have many memories of that day, because I was bearly 3 years old.This October day I was playing in our backyard, it was later in the evening but still pleasantly warm.Dad and I had built a tree house, which I liked very much, and played in there this day too.My attention were caught when there were noises and loud voices. The voices of my parents, they were fighting inside.Nothing new for me, but I think no kid appreciates it, if their parents are fighting. So I climbed down the ladder to dispute their argument.Shyly I peaked into our living room, were my Mom gesticulated wildly and shouting at my Dad. He, on the other hand, stucked his hand in his side and holding his head as if he had a bad headache.I stand there awkwardly, not confident enough to interrupt them, fidgeting with my fingers.After a while their fight was interrupted by the bell of the front door. My Dad broke away
