Austin has gone out with girl after girl since his breakup with Ally, all of whom have broken his heart, whereas Ally has been going steady with Gavin for a while. Trish and Dez are concerned about if he's ok after his latest breakup.

"I'm really worried about Austin" Trish exclaimed. She would never call Dez, in fact, she wasn't even sure why she had his number, but right now she was glad she did. "He hasn't talked to anyone for the whole day, and I don't think he's even come out of the house. Ally's out with Gavin and he needs to talk to someone. Can you go over and take a look? He listens to you."

"Sure Trish, I've been worried too, he's definitely been hiding something" Dez said. Trish was surprised to hear him sound so serious; he never took anything seriously. She figured that something had to be really wrong if it managed to make Dez stop making jokes.

"Do you want me to come? I don't want to put all the weight on you, especially if it's something big." Trish asked.

"Sure, I don't care, as long as we can help him. I'll be over there in 5 minutes in my car." Trish was surprised. She didn't know that Dez had a car, and he normally always hitched a ride with Austin, no matter where they went.

A couple of minutes later, Trish heard a car pull up on her driveway. Interested to see Dez's car, she ran to the door, only to be shocked at what she saw. Dez's car was an orange and yellow striped Volkswagon, and seemed to be a very old make of car, even though it looked newly painted. However, this wasn't the time to talk about his car, they needed to get to Austin's, as soon as they could.

The door was unlocked and they ran in. Downstairs was eerily silent. But as they climbed the stairs, a quiet, barely audible sob could be heard. It was coming from Austin's room, where the door was wedged shut. Dez knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Finally, Trish shoved open the door, to find a shocking sight.

His room, which was normally always so neat and tidy, was a mess. Most of his things were smashed or broken and some of the pillows were torn in to two pieces. Someone had clearly had a major meltdown in here. But the worst part was yet to come. Sitting in very corner, the normally giggling and happy Austin was silently crying his eyes out. There were tear tracks all the way down his face and it was clear he had been this way for a while. Trish let out a gasp of shock and Dez put a reassuring hand on Austin's shoulder.

"I- I- I can't do this anymore. I can't keep going out with all these cheerleaders and models who just want me for the money, I can't keep telling them things I don't mean, and making promises I can't keep. I can't keep kissing them like I love them and then watching them leave when they realise the truth. I can't do it" Austin said, his voice breaking, his words coming out in a ramble, as if he has been waiting for someone to tell this for a while. "I can't hide away any longer. I just can't". Trish and Dez looked at each other, Dez raising an eyebrow in surprise.

"What are you talking about? Did someone else break your heart? What are you hiding from?" Trish asked, her voice taking a worried tone. She had never seen Austin this upset, not after any of his breakups, not after any fights or arguments. Something was definitely up.

"No. Today, for the first time, I broke up with someone. I've told you about so many girls who broke up with me, did you ever wonder why? Did you ever realise that they all broke up with me for the same reasons?" Austin cried, beginning to shout.

"I just thought-"Trish began, but Dez cut her off.

"Ally. It was always Ally. They- you- they always- oh god, Austin" Dez said, looking like he had just realised something, but to Trish this made no sense.

"What does Ally have to do with this? I thought you just said you broke up with Piper." She asked, seeming puzzled

"Everyone always realised that I still had feelings for her. As soon as they saw me laugh at one of Ally's jokes, or helping her pick out an outfit, or even just high diving her, every single girlfriend I've ever had became convinced that I was in love with her. No one ever even said I still had feelings for her, they always used the strongest words, telling me that I was in love with her and they were leaving me, before I came to my senses and left them for Ally. And they were right. From the day after we broke up, I've wanted to get back together with her, but I've been too scared to show it. So I dated the hottest girls I could find, the ones who most guys would pick over Ally in an instant, but I couldn't. I would act, I'd pretend to love them, again and again but they'd always catch on eventually. But I've had enough. I can't keep acting. I still have feelings for Ally, and I need to do something about it." Austin got to his feet, but Trish grabbed hold of his shoulder.

"Stop right there Austin. I understand that you're upset, and I get that you still have feelings for Ally, but you won't go and ruin what she has for Gavin. It took her a long time to find a guy who's right for her, and you won't go messing it up. YOU WILL NOT DO ANYTHING, DO YOU HEAR ME AUSTIN!" She yelled. Trish had been there through Ally's breakdown, when Ally saw how easy it was for Austin to get a new girlfriend after their breakup, and she wasn't about to let Austin mess up the one person who Ally had finally let through her barriers. Trish knew that the second Ally found out about this, she would go running to Austin, only to find that it screwed everything up and break up again. And Trish de la Rosa was not about to let that happen.

Will Austin listen to Trish and leave Ally alone, or will he go to her? Keep reading to see what happens next... Reviews and favourites make me happy :D.
