She really should have kept her mouth shut.
She's good with writing words, singing words, and hell she can even do a decent rhyme or two.
Though when it comes to talking, she just can't shut up. Once she gets going, there's no stopping until she's made her point. But maybe, just maybe, if she kept her pie hole shut this one time, shit wouldn't have just hit the fan.
We should probably back the story up a bit so all of you out there know what's going on. It was a few days ago. They were all sitting in the Moon backyard, complete with Austin's four siblings, Dez, Trish, Ally, her sister Vanessa, and of course, Ratliff.
It started out as a nice day. The boys were running around the large field playing football, while the four girls sat a ways away, pretending to watch but were actually rifling through a bridal magazine, searching for a dress for Vanessa's upcoming wedding.
"Oooh, Ness, look at this one! It just looks like you." Rydel squealed, pointing at a trumpet-style gown on the glossy pages. Vanessa glanced at the page, squealing with her best friend
Ally rolled her eyes at her sister and future sister-in-law's silliness and sighed. Trish caught her eye roll and smirked. "Ally," the Latina piped up, getting a head cock from the brunette. "You seem a little lonely over there, are you missing Austin already? He's right over there. I can call him if you want."
Ally shot her best friend a glare and responded with, "No, Trish I'm fine. And I don't miss Austin, silly girl, I'm just ready to get all this wedding stuff over with. It's stressing being the maid of honor to bridezilla over here."
Vanessa looked up at the sound of her name and scrunched her nose. "Hey! I am not a bridezilla! And you're just pouting because you're too afraid to tell Austin you have feelings for him. Just go for it, Ally! It's obvious the boy is head over heels for you. And just look at me! Two years ago I was in your spot, scared to confess my feelings but I grew a pair of lady balls and now look at me! I'm marrying Riker in just a few months! If I never told him, he would have never known."
Rydel nods in agreement with the older Dawson girl. "It's true, Austin totally has it bad for you! I mean, come on! The way he looks at you…the way he is around you…and he carries around a picture of you in his wallet! Hahahaha, bet you didn't know that! The kid is totally nuts for you, girl."
Ally blushed at the mention of the picture in his wallet. Does he really carry it around?
"Look, guys, I appreciate you trying to help me, but I'm really not ready nor do I want to tell Austin that-" Ally was cut off as the boys strolled up to where they were plopped down and the aforementioned blonde said, "Tell me what, Als?"
"That I love you. Oh shit!" Ally screamed, surprised at the words that just came out of her mouth. Austin automatically gave her all his attention, staring at her with a dumbstruck expression on his face.
"Oh god..I am just so sorry…I didn't mean to say that…that I love you…god! There it is again! Why do I keep saying I love you? Dammit! Now I can't stop saying it. It's like flying out from my face! I swear, why is this happening? Oh my god." Ally rambled on. Behind her, she could hear the faint giggles of her so-called friends.
"I…I love you. Oh jesus, you have no idea how much better I feel now! I mean, not better really because I just ruined everything but just relieved! I've been holding it in for so long now. Denying it for months, and then once I realized it, it was like BAM. I felt like I was hit by a truck-no, really. It was a horrible experience." At her words, Austin's face contorted into a mixture of confusion and incredubility.
"Okay, no I didn't mean it like that. Wait, maybe I did. It's just that…you're my best friend and I can't get you off my fucking mind! It's like you're like some horrible disease! You make me sick, seriously. I always feel like I wanna puke around you but in a good way. You give me these sickening headaches and you make me sweat and it's all because I love you (fuck I said it again!). And whenever you get close to me-which is all the fucking time-I feel like I'm gonna go into cardiac arrest! I wish they could diagnose me with some type of medicine to get rid of it but you just won't go away! You're so damn annoying because I love you so fucking much!" Ally was panting by the end of her little rant but she was nowhere near done.
"Dammit, Austin! I can't stand you! You're such an idiot sometimes that I just wanna hit you! Other times you're such a sweetheart and you're such a good guy and all I wanna do is kiss you and hug you and just be with you! You're so frustrating-ahhhh! It's just because I love you-dammit!"
All that could be heard by the end was everyone breathing. Austin stared at Ally with wide eyes, not sure of what to do or say. As if a switch was flipped, Ally suddenly realized what she had just admitted and her eyes widened as well.
"Umm..haha…well…I should get going…y'know…I should just…yeah bye." Ally stuttered out, turning around and running into the house. Rydel, Vanessa, and Trish were quick to get up and run after her. Before she left, however, Rydel said to her brother, "Austin, don't fuck this up but give her some space and think things through before you do anything."
Said boy stayed right in his spot, gaping like a fish out of water. He watched his sister, future sister, and Latina friend run after his…well…he's not really sure what she is now. "Dez, Ratliff, Riker, Ryland, you guys owe me money. C'mon, cough it up." Upon hearing Rocky's words, Austin's head whipped around.
"Wait..you…you guys knew?" He asked, face scrunching up in disbelief. The five boys looked at him and sighed. "God, Austin, you're so oblivious. It was totally obvious Ally likes you. I mean, seriously, man there is so much sexual tension between you it's not even funny. No wait, it is kinda funny," Ratliff told him.
Austin twitched and tried his best to both ignore the sexual tension comment and process the fact that his best girl friend is in love with him. Dez sighed at his best friend's obvious confusion and turned on the serious mode. "Look, man, it's a lot to digest. Just take some time to figure your feelings out. And it'll give her some time to calm down. Both of you just need to take a breather. I mean, Ally must be a mess right now. Seriously, do you know how hard it must have been for her to do that? If that were me I would-" The ginger stopped his words at his best friend's deadpanned face.
Right, Dez though, not a time for ranting. Austin just sighed, slumping onto the ground in a mass heap of confusion. He had no idea what to think or even say about this entire thing. Ally was in love…with him! Who knew? Oh well, apparently everyone. The blonde singer chuckled lightly at his thought then sighed once more.
Tonight was going to be a sleepless night. For the both of them.
So you can see why Ally just should have shut up at that moment. Now, everything is probably ruined and Austin probably thinks she's a creepy lovesick partner. Oh, and it just makes everything better that their older siblings are going to be married in only a few months. They're definitely stuck with each other now.
For better or for worse.
A/N: So, um yeah! This just kinda came out and..yeah. So…REVIEW! And maybe I'll think about updating my other story (: Btw, this shall be a two-shot. Maybe three. No more than three. Now I'm just ranting.
