Bad Romance

It's been about a month since I've seen Austin. I felt childish about blowing up on him like that but I guess it doesn't really matter since he never tried to get in contact with me again. I guess you could say I moved on. I'm back together with my ex, Maxwell. I knew I'd go crawling back to that dirtbag but I know deep down he's changed. And maybe this is good for me. Maybe this is what fate is afterall.

"Ready Maxxiepoo?" I giggle, kissing my boyfriends pale nose.

He grins, lacing our hands together, "Leggo." and we are off into the cool night.

It's date night for us. We always did this back in highschool so we brought the tradition back. Tonight we were going to the movies. Maxwell picked out some horror movie I don't even know the name of. As long as I'm with him I will be just fine though.

"Two tickets for Dark Skies." Maxwell tells the man behind the glass.

He hands us our tickets while I bounce around, trying to warm myself up, "Huurrry Maxxieee!" I shiver out.

"Imma coming sweat pea." he wiggles his way over to me, pressing his cold lips to mine, his black hair drooping over my thin face.

"Nixan?" I hear a voice I never ever thought I'd have to hear again.

Spinning around my mouth drops wide open when I see Austin standing there, a blonde bimbo attached to his side.

"Hey." I murmur out, clutching Maxwell's hand.

Austin scrunches his face at Maxwell, probably judging him since well.. he kinda looks like a hobo on the outside, "Wh- How have you been?"

"Good." I tell him. "This is Maxwell, my boyfriend."

Austin shakes Maxwell's hand politely.

"This is Gielle." he tells me, aka the blonde bimbo.

I give a warm wave while she sticks her nose up to me. How on earth could Austin be dating that?

"What are you two seeing?" Maxwell asks.

"Dark skies." Gielle answers.

I mentally stab myself 100 thousand times.

After we all awkwardly bunch together in the movies, of course me getting shoved next to Austin, I can't help but ask Austin the question I've been wondering.

"Why'd you never call?"

I can see through the dim lighting he looks hurt, "Why would I?" and I have my answer.

The rest of the movie is hell. Austin can't keep his mouth of big fake boob bitch barbie and Maxwell is too involved in the movie to pay attention to me. I end up falling asleep, only to have Austin shake me awake. It makes me want to punch him in the face even more. And oh of course Austin has to give me the most awkward hug before we leave. Thanks a lot to whatever higher power is up there.

"So what was that shit about?" Maxwell bursts out when we get back home.

I look at him confused, "Huh?"

"That fucking horse shit with Austin? What's going on there?!" he yells at me.

My whole body shudders, "He's just some guy Maddie tried hooking me up with but it didn't work."

"Didn't work?"

"No. I'm with you so no."

Maxwell cusses under his breathe as he grabs a beer from the fridge. I hate when he drinks. Or smokes. Or does any type of drug. Most of all I hate when we fight. Which seems to be all the time.

"This is just like highschool." he mutters.

"What are you talking about?"

In an instant he slaps me across my face, "Don't talk back to me."

"Okay sorry." I wince and grab my burning cheek.

"Don't fucking talk!" he yells, this time punching me right on my cheekbone.

I cover my mouth so I don't scream out in agony. But really, I should be use to all of this. Since it started right on the first day we got back together. Seems to be getting worse everyday I'm without my medication.
