Three days, three days since I saw Austin. I was going through withdraw. His love was my drug and I was craving it. It was now the second day of school and I couldn't be more miserable. I loved all my classes, they were mostly easy. Since it was senior year and I had doubled up on a lot of classes last year, this year would be a breeze. I thought that was a good thing but honestly the stress and work would have kept my mind off missing Austin, well at least helped. He called every morning, texted throughout the day, then facetimed at night. It was a good system but nothing compared to the real thing.

I was brought out of my thoughts when my phone buzzed, I was currently in art. Since it was still the first week, we weren't doing much. So, I pulled my phone out of my purse and read the message.

Austin: This lecture is bogus, much rather be there with you. Thinking about dropping out ;)

Me: Yeah same! We aren't even doing anything. I miss you.

Austin: I miss you more!

Me: I miss your hugs!

Austin: I miss your face

Me: What? My face?

Austin: Yep, I miss all your expressions and your smile and that little twitch you get when you're over thinking things.

Me: I do not twitch!

Austin: Yes you do, and you snore!

Me: No I don't!

Austin: Fine, don't believe me. But I still miss everything about you. I might die.

Me: NOT AN OPTION!

Austin: I know. Look I have to go, ttyl!

Me: Ok, learn something would ya?

Austin: NEVER! Love you!

Me: Love you too!

Me and Austin hadn't actually admitted to saying the full 'I love you' out-loud yet but, over text it was meaningless and harmless. Truthfully, I didn't know if what I felt was love, but whatever it was it was killing me inside not seeing him.

Three more days past and it was now Friday. Austin and I agreed to not visit this weekend, thinking it would help with the process. I agreed but mentally I was fighting myself no to hop in the car and drive. Austin and I texted on and off throughout the day. This morning when he called he said after school he was hanging out with friends or something. I told him to have fun, but he seemed nervous when he told me. It made me nervous, was he lying? Why did he feel the need to lie to me?

I walked out of the school and over to the senior parking lot. I saw my girls by the car, waiting for me. "Hey, are we still hanging out tonight?"

"Of course, I need my girls!" Tori yelled over to me as I approached the car.

"Yeah, we can all talk about how much we miss our guys!" Sydney whined a little as we all got in.

"No, we can help take each others minds off them" I said as I began to leave the parking lot.

"Did you see they are already selling homecoming tickets?"

"Yeah, that's like crazy. It's not till like October!"

"Yeah, isn't Cass in homecoming court this year?"

"Yeah, and I heard Kira might be too!"

"That's so crazy, like guys were seniors. Remember when we were freshman looking up at the seniors? God it went by so fast!"

They both nodded and we continued our way back to my house. I pulled into the driveway and we walked inside. Dropping my bags on the bench, I walked into the kitchen looking for my mom.

"Mom! I'm home!" I sung, my voice filling the almost empty house. I looked to the girls who had sat down at the table. "That's weird, wonder where she could be. She's usually always home."

Sydney motioned towards the fridge and I found a note,

Ally,

Your dad and I went out for the night. He surprised me with a date night! Don't wait up for us!

Love you!
Mom

"Ok well, we've got the house to ourselves for the night!"

If this was last year, I would have thrown a last minute party but, now I wasn't in any mood to party. I missed Austin too much, I knew that it would get easier with time but right now it was just too much.

"Pizza?" I questioned and they both lit up. I dialed the number and ordered two large pizzas. We all dealt with heartbreak in the same way, we ate our worries away then worked it off later.

After I placed the order we all went into the living room and decided to watch some TV instead of our usually romantic comedies knowing that we would all end up in tears. After about 15 minutes the doorbell rang, which was really quick even for the pizza place down the road. I got up and walked over to the door. I unlocked and opened it while looking down for my wallet. After finding it I finally looked up and my breath was taken away.

"Au-Austin?"

He smiled, holding flowers. "Hey Als"

"Wh-What are you doing here? I mean I thought-" I cut myself off, and ran into his arms.

I was so involved in our embrace that I didn't notice Scott and Tony walk past us. The tears flooded my eyes, but they weren't tears of sorrow. They were pure tears of joy. I leaned up and kissed him a hundred times.

Speaking in between, "Thank you, so much"

When I was finally done my freak out he spoke, "God, I've missed you, so much. I know this probably won't help with the distance thing, but I just needed to see you."

I smiled, "I've missed you too, this is probably the best surprise ever." He leaned down and kissed me again. "Ugh, wayy better than pizza!"

He let out a laugh, then gave me a confused look, "What?"

"I thought you were my pizza, that's why I was looking for my wallet."

"Oh, that actually makes sense."

Just then the pizza guy came up and I did the exchange. I walked back over to Austin, and he traded the flowers with the pizzas and we walked inside.

The weekend went by extremely fast. My parents were happy to meet Austin, and for once my dad actually liked one of the boys I brought home. They gladly let him stay in our guest room, but after everyone went to bed I would sneak in for some cuddle time. Saturday I showed him around and we went to lunch, then to the movies. Today, I had introduced him to some of my friends, and now Scott and Tony were here to go back home. This goodbye was even harder than the first, we had been sitting in my driveway for an hour. I refused to let go, but after a lot of whining from the boys I got the courage.

"I'll see you soon!" I said, frowning.

"Yep, two weeks." He said, scratching the back of his neck.

"Hey, it'll be easier, right?"

"Totally!" He said, unsurely, "Oh, who am I kidding? I'm gonna miss you like crazy Als." He brought me into a tight hug.

"Short and sweet, remember." I repeated to myself,

"What?"

"Nothing, why is this so hard?"

"Because you're human, and I'm just so irresistible" He smirked.

I smacked his arm playfully then dug deeper into his chest. Mumbling 'I love you' into it.

He kissed the top of my head, then got into his car and began to drive away. But, stopped at the end of the driveway and stuck his head out the window.

"Always?" He said, slightly smiling.

"You know it!" I answered, smiling completely.

"And forever?" He questioned.

"Of course!"

I waved goodbye and he continued to back out. These goodbyes weren't getting any easier, but at least that meant more hellos were to come. I continued to stand in the driveway until he was out of sight, then walked inside and up to my room.

Austin was out of sight, but not out of mind. He would never be out of my mind, or my heart. All I knew was that we had gotten through one week, that meant only 34 more.

Here it is, the first chapter. I know I named this 'What a Blast' but I don't know if it will stick, it just doesn't sit right with me. Oh well, I wanted to get this to you guys hope you like it! Please review and let me know what you think! XOXOX
