SORRY I KNOW IT IS LONG BUT PLEASE READ BELOW!
Hello everyone I am back and welcome to the first official chapter of my second story! Woo hoo! I'm so excited to start my next story for you guys and also I'm so sorry for the wait. It took me a long time to pick which story I wanted to do first. I was so undecided and very back and forth and even created another story idea in the mix, making my decision even harder. For the longest time I was sure I was going to wait to do this story or not even do it at all because I know the idea isn't quite as original as my other ones. I was thinking of making the one I was originally going to do first into a short 3/4 shot because the whole story is based off of a random section that I wrote for the middle part of the story but then I had a slightly better idea. On my last story there was a few comments saying "make them have sex" and things like that but of course I didn't because it was a T rated story and sex wasn't really fitted for the type I was writing. But that gave me the idea to make the story into an M rated fan fic instead of T …. I think it could work really well and there aren't many really good multi chaptered M rated ones out there so maybe I could do it justice? I don't know it's just a thought. Comment in the reviews if you'd like my next story to be T or M rated! I'm fine with both. Obviously this one is going to be T but it's just a thought for the other story's future and my development in writing. Before I get on with the most important part, in my last story I recommended you all to listen to the song Ally sang to Austin but then I realized that I didn't tell you what it was … SO SORRY! It is called Mirror by Meaghan Smith and it is so amazing so seriously go listen to it if you have the chance! Now that that is out of the way I want to say thank you so much for all the feedback on my last story! You guys are awesome and I mean it when I say I love you! I hope you guys know how much I appreciate that you read my stories 3 without further ado, I present the very first chapter of Camp Heartache!

"Ally, are you sure you have everything?" my mom asked for the hundredth time.
I groaned louder than intended.
"Yes mom. For the final time, I have everything so please stop worrying." I told her.
"And can we leave soon?" I asked kind of annoyed with the all the waiting we were doing.
We were currently sitting in the car, still parked in the drive way. We are supposed to be on our way to my favorite place on earth; Eastwood Camp. The only reason for the holdup was my mom and her crazy concerns.
"I'm sorry dear it's just that I'm going to miss you so much!" she exclaimed.
Thankfully she started the car and actually made it out of the drive way. If we would have waited any longer I would for sure be late for registration and check in.
"And I'm going to miss you too but you're acting like I've never left home before! I mean I've only been going to the same camp for almost seven years now." I pointed out.
"I know. It's just you're so grown up and soon you'll be gone for more than two weeks, you'll be gone forever! And you're my baby." She stated.
"Oh mom you know I'll always visit you and Dad no matter how old or busy I'm going to get." I said honestly.
"Good." she smiled.
There are a few moments of silence before she speaks up again.
"So who are you most excited to see again? I can't keep up with all your camp friends." she asked.
I laugh at her before answering.
"You know just the usual but mostly Austin." I replied.
Where do I begin with Austin Moon? Basically he and I have been best friends since we were ten and first attended Camp Eastwood together. Unfortunately we live in far different parts of the state and only get to see each other at camp or on special occasions that take a lot of time and planning. Now that we are older we get longer camp time, which means more Austin & Ally time.
"So … Do you and Austin have a-" she spat out awkwardly.
I wasn't exactly following.
"Are you and Austin, oh umm how do I put this?" she asked unsure and slightly frustrated.
Suddenly I was following and knew exactly what she meant.
I immediately shook my head side to side in a hurried motion.
"No. No! No not all! Eew. Mom that is so not cool. He and I are JUST friends and nothing more." I defended.
"No need to get hasty. I was just wondering." She teased.
"Well we aren't." I said, trying to convince myself more than her.
"But you have to admit he is pretty good looking and so-"
"MOM!" I interrupted before she could finish her stupid sentence.
"Alright I'll stop." She laughed.
Thankfully we were almost there.
"Please try to not embarrass me if you could? And definitely don't say anything like that in front of Austin." I told her.
"Yeah, yeah." She replied casually, shrugging it off.
I secretly hoped she was joking.
We roll up into the crowded parking lot filled with many new and familiar faces. This camp wasn't filled with too many people but it was popular enough to stay in good conditions. As my mom tries to find a parking spot I'm looking for Austin through my window. There was no sign of him until I spotted a fairly large group of guys and obsessed girls surrounding a familiar tall blond. Austin is kind of a big deal here: he's friends with everyone, cool with all the guys, and almost every girl desperately wants to date him.
I think he spots me too because just as we are parking he smiles and waves at me through my window. I feel my heart jump at my chest when he does so. As soon as my mom shuts the engine off, I waste no time in getting out of the car and running to meet him. I watch as he pushes his way past the group of people he was talking to and now becoming open for me to see all of him. We both were smiling like idiots but I could care less. I jump into his embrace, my arms tightly wrapped around his neck and shoulders as his were squeezed around my waist and lifting me off the ground. I found myself stuck in a fit of giggles as he spins me around in our barely breathable hug. He practically covered my entire body because he was so big and muscular compared to tiny me. I mean he had muscles last year but he had clearly started to work out and it really showed. Not that I was ogling him or anything. We held each other tight for a few more moments. I forgot how much I missed his bear hugs and just his touch in general.
"Is it me or have you gotten shorter?" he teased as he sets me down.
"Wow Austin, I missed you too." I retorted sarcastically.
My hands fell to my hips as I rolled my eyes at him and waited for his next response.
"Still cute as ever though." He commented before booping my nose.
I felt an infuriated blush spread across my cheeks and was at a sudden loss of words. I tried to hide the crimson red on face but it was very difficult to do anything at the moment.
Since when was Austin so bold with these things?
Before I have time to say something else my mom decided to join us.
"Hey you two, sorry to interrupt but Ally here has to check in." she informed us.
"Hey Mrs. Dawson, good to see you." he greeted and hugged her.
"Good to see you too Austin." she replied, hugging back.
"You know I can take Ally to check in and help with her bags." He suggested.
My mom glances between him and I as she makes her decision. I furiously nod my head yes to his idea trying to make it clear on what I want.
"Sure. I guess I'll be on my way then." She said in agreement.
"Bye mom. I love you." I said as hug her goodbye.
"I love you too and be good ok." She reminded me.
I don't say anything, I just nod.
"Watch out for her Austin ok." She told him.
"Of course." He agreed like that was already his intentions.
I hug her one last time before watching her get in the car.
"See you in two weeks!" she shouted at us before driving away and back into town.
"C'mon let's go get you checked in." he says.
I go to grab a bag but he beats me to it, carrying both for me.
"Austin." I protested.
"Don't worry about it." he said casually shrugging it off.
"Thanks." I said softly, a smile forming on both of us.
We slowly started to make our way to the main building so we could sort out all of my camp details. We took advantage of finally being alone and happily walked side by side.
"So fill me in on your past year! I got to know everything." He says breaking our comfortable silence.
I laugh slightly.
"Well what do you want to know? I'm still same old Ally." I answered halfheartedly.
"Seriously? You're not going to tell your best friend anything exciting? I mean don't you have a boyfriend or something?" he asked randomly throwing something out there.
"No, actually." I whispered, looking down at my feet.
It suddenly got really quiet.
"Wait, I thought, I mean last I checked you and Dallas?" he started confused.
I shook my head still looking at the ground. I felt all the past memories of the last few months come rushing back to me.
"Long story short he was bad news. Not the guy I thought or said he was. He cheated on me." I admitted.
I tried to cover up the hurt in my voice but Austin was too smart for that.
This wasn't how I wanted to start off the summer.
"But it doesn't matter. That was a while ago." I reassured him, well tried to anyways.
He didn't say anything for a while. He just listened to what I had to say.
"Ally," he started again.
The concern in his voice filled the sky and he was looking at me like I was some kind of sad puppy.
"Dallas is a jerk and a lot of other words I can't say. He is the stupidest guy on the face of the Earth for cheating on you! He has no idea what he lost and he clearly doesn't deserve someone as amazing and beautiful and perfect as you, ok? I'm sorry I wasn't able to be there for you when it happened but I'm here now." he said starring right into my eyes.
I hugged him tightly, knowing he meant every word.
"Thank you." I whispered softly, still hugging him close to me.
I was in dire need of a subject change at this point. This topic was too sad for a day that is supposed to be wonderful.
"So what about you? Got your eyes on any girl in particular?" I asked, raising my eyebrows at the second question.
He smiled, just what I wanted to see.
"Well sort of. She just thinks of me as a friend though." He answered.
I laugh at his joke but realized he was being serious.
"Oh please? What girl doesn't want to be with you? Let's be real here Austin." I teased.
"Hey I'm being serious!" he defended.
I roll my eyes at his stupidity.
"You are such a boy." I told him.
"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked confused.
"Wouldn't you like to know." I teased again.
I really loved this right now. Teasing Austin is another thing I missed.
I laughed as his eyebrows furrowed together in frustration.
"I don't understand you girls." He commented.
I can't help but let out a loud laugh when he says that.
"Oh Austin, I missed you a lot more than you know." I told him.
His cute smile had spread across his face again.
"I missed you too Ally." He replied.
This time it was my turn to smile.
