I Said I'd Never Let You Go

Both of their heads shot toward me and they looked like deer caught in the headlights. Austin snapped out of it first and took a step forward and in turn I took a step back. I gave him a look that warned him to stay back.

“Will someone say something?” I yell.

“Autumn I was going to tell you.” Jenna says. “I didn’t mean for it to happen. I don’t even know what I was thinking when I started it.”

“Jenna, what did you do?” I ask as a nervous feeling engulfs my body. I wanted to know, but I also was scared at the same time.

“When we started to hang out we instantly hit it off. You told me about everything with Austin and I could tell how you felt about him. You also told me about Tony and how amazing he was.” She started. “Well I could see that you cared for Tony, but you didn’t have the same look in your eyes when you talked about Tony as when you talked about Austin.”

I gave her a strange look, but didn’t say anything. Austin was looking at his feet. What was his part in what Jenna was telling me? I looked back at Jenna and motioned for her to continue.

“Well I saw an opportunity to get you and Tony to break up. I never meant for you to get hurt. Tony really cares for you and I know you really care about him too, but I could tell that you were meant to be with Austin.” Jenna explains.

“What did you do?” I question her again.

“The texts. The ones you received about telling Tony the truth were from me. I just wanted you guys to break up. I never thought that Tony would grab you like that. I am so sorry Autumn. I am a terrible friend. I just wanted you to be with the person you were meant to be with.” She tells me.

My stomach drops. I couldn’t believe this. One of the people I trusted the most was behind it all. My throat started to close. I couldn’t breathe.

“Autumn please say something.” Jenna pleads.

“It’s okay. I don’t blame you.” I say to her surprised by my own words. Both Austin and Jenna’s faces showed shock.

“Really?” They exclaim together.

I nod my head before walking up to her. She smiles weakly at me. I pull my arm back and let it loose into her face. She crumpled to the floor holding her face as blood started to seep through her fingers.

“Of course not! I can’t believe you! We were supposed to be friends Jenna. You had no right to do that no matter how much the fact that I still love Austin is true. A real friend would have just accepted that it was my choice and let it be, but you couldn’t do that could you? You know for a fact that I am a firm believer in if things are meant to be they will be. If Austin and I really were meant to be together it would have worked out that way. You didn’t need to try and force fate. You are un-fucking- believable. Don’t you dare try to talk to me again. You are no friend of mine. Fucking Bitch.” I scream at her causing a couple of nurses to turn and look at me.

I turn on my heel and stalk back down the hallway. I feel someone grab my arm and I knew it was Austin. After I just admitted that I still loved him there was no way that he was just going to let me go.

“Autumn please wait.” He says.

“Were you in on this? Was this your idea to get me back?” I ask harshly.

“What?!” He says incredulously. “No. Autumn I would never do that to you.”

“Then how did you know? You clearly did since you were arguing with her about it.” I demand.

“I found out the other day. I didn’t think it was my place to say anything. I wanted her to come forward and tell you herself. I gave her two days to tell you or I was going to. I wanted to see if she was going to own up to her mistakes.”

I nod my head before wrapping my arms around his waist. Even after everything that we had been through a simple hug from him calmed my nerves so much. I couldn’t believe someone that I trusted so much betrayed me badly. Then again it seemed like it was becoming a regular thing. Since even the one I was clinging to for comfort right now had betrayed me at one point.

I felt him pull me tighter against him and I could have sworn that I heard him whisper ‘I love you.’ into my hair. I decided to let that be a conversation for a later date and instead of answering him I in turn gripped onto him tighter.

Notes

So Autumn knows now! I am not sure how many chapters this story will have left. I have typed up all of the stuff I had pre-written so from now on I will be posting chapters as I post them.

Hope you are all still liking this.
