TINE'S POVAustin being an introvert did not leave us many choices about his victory. If there was anything that could tip the scale in his favour, it would be his good looks and his gentle smile but with that half-blind director, I felt like that might not work either. Everyone stared at him with bated breath, hoping he would at least try his best while also hoping that the Director wouldn't insult him the same way he insulted others who didn't do well. However... Everyone was stunned by his acting. No one believed he could be so good at acting. His confidence, his actions, his demeanour, and even the way he handled the sword were great! Fantastic! Even the Director seemed stunned. The way Austin swirled under the dim light, the reflection of his face under that light was hypnotizing even for a guy like me. I felt my heart racing repeatedly, drawn in by his face and my eyes fell on his lips, causing me to swallow hard. Kelvin held my hand and I turned around to look at him "Austi
AUSTIN'S POVTwo months later.Adrian and I continued our weekly lovemaking, sealing our deal. At first, I hated it and it made me hate him more but as time went on, I no longer felt the anger anymore... Sadly, I at times waited impatiently for that day.Tine continued acting strange, always fighting with Adrian's friends while telling me to stay away from Adrian. He would sometimes waylay them to beat them up with other guys. So many times, I would want to chastise him but I wouldn't be able to... It was complicated. I feared that if I defended Adrian and his friends, They might find out about my feelings toward him and that was something I wasn't ready to deal with.It was my father's death anniversary and like every year, I needed to visit him but I was just too scared to do that. I had betrayed him and disappointed him by having things to do with the person who killed him. I was even developing feelings for that kind of person.I was supposed to bring his killer to justice but not
AUSTIN'S POV After a while, I stood up from the bed and entered the bathroom. No matter how much I felt sad and guilty toward my father, I knew I had to visit him as he would be lonely without me. I could get there and ask for his forgiveness while also letting him know that I would discard any silly feelings toward Adrian, his killer. He loved Adrian so much when he was alive so he might not be too angry with me. I took a bath and returned to my room where I wore black trousers and a shirt, keeping my gun on my waist. According to Jason, I shouldn't go anywhere without my licensed gun especially when I had been receiving threat letters for days already. I got the first one in training and the one who read it was Jason, I got the second one in school and the third one was received today. I wondered who the coward was but it didn't matter. If they happen to show up in front of me, I wouldn't hesitate to put an end to their miserable lives and make them pay for trying to bully me wi
AUSTIN'S POV"What do you have to say? How dare you talk about that day again, Adrian?" I asked him, disappointment obvious in my tone. "Do you know what my only regret is?" I asked but didn't wait for him to reply. "It's that I didn't hand you over to those policemen then and that I didn't tell my mother or anyone about what you did to my father!' I yelled, grabbing his clothes."Do you even know why I did that?" A bitter smile lingered on my lips. "It's because..." I stopped and laughed bitterly, tears rolling down my eyes "Even though I saw you killing my father, I still saw you as a friend. I still wanted to protect my only friend and even though I knew my father would hate me for it, I chose you over my father, Adrian!" I yelled, pushing him away.I staggered backwards as more tears rolled down my eyes. I had been finding it difficult to accept that word since I lost my father. I couldn't believe that I really chose Adrian over my father as it was the silliest thing a kid could h
AUSTIN'S POV When I opened my eyes, my head was bandaged and I was lying in bed in a hospital! I looked around with surprise written on my face. Why am I here?The last thing I remembered was driving and then... Everything went blank. Did I hit someone? I clearly didn't. Did I crash my car? Maybe that was the case~I was still deep in thought when I heard the door open and a doctor came in, accompanied by Adrian. I stared at Adrian for a while, my mind messy and my heart ached. His hands were stained with blood which I knew was mine. "You saved me?" I asked softly and he nodded. The doctor finally got to my side and checked me "I'm glad you are up, Austin. You were almost..." He stopped and let out a deep breath "I've never seen anyone who would happily embrace death like you before. It was like you had no will to live anymore and no matter how hard we tried to wake up, you refused to wake up." The doctor seemed frustrated as he scolded me. of course, after what happened then, I
ADRIAN'S POV The word regret was an understatement. I decided to help Austin live right after the death of his father but never did he imagine that he only worsened the case. All over the years, he had been hurting, crying and feeling bitter but he thought he had made the right choice, in as much Austin could be happy. Each time Austin fought with him or talked to him harshly, his heart would ache but there was always a part of him that would always commend him for a job well done until he saw Austin in the bar alone that night. While he was taking him home, a tear suddenly ran down Austin's face and he was surprised to see that so he asked. "Are you okay?" Austin looked at him and smiled bitterly "I just miss my old friend. How I wish life wasn't so cruel on us like this." He mumbled and closed his eyes as another tear rolled down. "You see, I wished I could turn back the hands of time and stop that incident from happening. If only I hadn't gone inside to write my assignment that
POV: Austin Brad " You like it, huh?" A voice whispered coyly into my ears and my whole body shook violently. My knees turned to jelly and my body went out of control. "What's this? What's going on? Why is my body out of my control?" My mind was messy and my brain couldn't process anything. I felt a hand on my waist and I looked down only to find two strong hands wrapped around me. " Who is this?" I asked myself but I found it hard to look straight into his eyes. " Adrian. Will you like me to go further?" The voice asked again and without knowing, I nodded my head. " Hm..." I groaned in pleasure as his rough hands squeezed hard on my br**st. It was a feeling I had never had before but it was a feeling I could easily get addicted to. " What have you done to my body? It's no longer in my control. " I grunted as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. It was a long passionate kiss that got my body jerking, his wayward hand wor
Adrian Beckett's Pov I never could have imagined that Austin would take the initiative to punch me like that. It was a complete surprise to me and I was shocked! I staggered backward with shock evident on my face and I wiped my mouth only to find out there was blood dripping from the corner of my mouth. " Austin!" His friend, Kelvin shouted and it was obvious he was just as shocked as everyone else that saw us. Austin was always the calm type and he would never fight me head-on in school because everyone knew and respected him unlike me who was known as the vagabond by everyone. I rushed toward him and grabbed his collar "Are you nuts?! How dare you punch me like that?!" I questioned with anger-filled eyes and I was ready to start a big fight right there but he looked to be ready too and I was very sure he wasn't going to hold back like he used to. Why? This was the question I wished to ask him but I knew asking such a question would only make me loo
