Austin lowered his head, his lips al mine, and confessed, "Ti amo, Pix Ti amo tantissimo"

"You… you love me?" I asked, still in shock

Austin nodded "More than the stars in the sky"

I felt like fireworks exploded inhand, I laid it on his rough stubble and whispered back, "I love you too, Austin I love you too"

Austin pressed his lips againstback, he said, "I need you to get better, Pix I need you, period And you’ve been scaring the shit outta me for the past few days"

I could only stare

"You’re beautiful, Pix And I think we’d be pretty fkin’ beautiful together I know I’ve fked up But the dealing’s done with I see that now Axel has taken off, and I swear I’ll get Levi out of the Heighters if it’s the last thing I do"

Tears filled his eyes, and he said, "You gotta start eating, Pix"
