His mom always called them mother's instincts. She always had a sixth sense when it came to him getting hurt no matter where he was.
Well Austin Moon is definitely no mother but today he couldn't shake the feeling that something life changing was about to happen today, and he wasn't quite sure if it was going to be in a good way.
It first started when Austin woke up that Tuesday morning. It was the middle of summer break and his career had been off the charts since his performance on Times Square on New Year's Eve. Austin was planning on going over to Sonic Boom after breakfast to spend time with Ally before Trish and Dez showed up. He loved spending alone time with his girlfriend.
Yep, that's right, girlfriend. He had finally gone on his first date with Ally one month ago and had asked her to be his girlfriend shortly after. So far it had been the best month of his life. They had both already admitted that they loved each other. He still smiled when he remembers how it happened.
Flashback to one week ago
"Austin, what are you doing?" Ally asked as she caught Austin on her laptop. She had walked into the practice room to check on him after Dez left. The boys had been locked in here for over an hour so really she had come to see if they had caused any damage (not that she would tell Austin that).
"I know that your Dad is gone to conventions a lot so I thought I could make something to make it a little less lonely." Austin replied and opened a video of him. He left Ally alone to watch the video while he minded the store for her. Her dad was at a bongo convention for the weekend so Austin had been helping his girlfriend as much as he could. Not that he minded. He loved spending the entire day with her.
Ally sat down on the couch in front of the computer and pressed play. As the screen came to life she recognized the time stamp as 45 minutes ago. "So that's why he and Dez had stayed up here so long." Ally thought to herself.
"Hey Ally," video Austin said, "I know you get lonely at home sometimes and though I want to be, I can't always be there. So I thought that this would be a good way to keep you company. I have made several videos so you can have something new to entertain you. I also want you to know that even if you watch all the videos, if you still need me all you have to do is call and I will be there no matter what. You are the most important thing in my life Ally. You are even more important than my music. If you asked me to, I would give up my career in a heartbeat. I love you Ally, with all my heart. And I hope you love me too."
By the time the video ended Ally had tears pouring down her face. She had never realized that she meant that much to Austin. Without thinking twice, Ally bolted down the stairs.
When she reached the bottom she saw Austin locking up for the night. He heard her coming and turned around. The sight of a sobbing Ally ripped his heart to pieces. He never wanted her to cry. Just as he was about to apologize Ally ran to him and jumped in his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist and burying her head into the crook of his neck. He was glad he realized what she was about to do a split second before she jumped or they both would have ended up on the floor.
"Ally, what's wrong. I didn't mean to make you cry. Please stop crying." Austin begged. Ally raised her head and rested her forehead against his. As she looked deep into his eyes she whispered "I love you too." If he hadn't have been paying close attention he wouldn't have heard it. Thankfully, he did and pulled her into a passionate kiss that made her melt into him. Once the ran out of air, they pulled out of the kiss just enough to breathe but still close enough that their lips were brushing against the others. Austin kept Ally in his arms but leaned back against the counter since he was a little dizzy from the lack of oxygen and passion from the kiss. Not that he minded.
Without meaning to, Austin and Ally both said "I love you" at the same time and then said "I love you too" on purpose. Smiling, Austin kissed Ally one more time and carried her to their practice room for a make out session that lasted until it was time for them both to go home for dinner.
End of Flashback
When Austin awoke from his daydream, he looked at the picture he kept by his bed of him and Ally from the day he took her to watch the Zaliens movies. He loved how she looked like his swamp bride and couldn't help but wonder what she would look like as his real bride. A vision of Ally in a white dress walking towards him came to him mind and he couldn't help but beam. Most guys would freak out at the thought of marriage but not Austin; he knew that Ally was the one for him. He had even started saving up for a ring. Nothing major, just a little here and there.
"Enough daydreaming about Ally. It's time to go see the really thing." Austin said to himself and walked out of his room for breakfast. He went downstairs to discover that his parents had left for work already. He wasn't too sad though because his mom had left him a plate of pancakes. He decided to watch TV while he ate, so he sat down and turned on Houston and Halley, a TV show about a singer and his songwriter. He loved the show, but he thought it was kind of weird since it basically described in detail his and Ally's life. He was watching the episode called "Robberies and Rattraps". He thought back to when Team Austin caught the alphabet bandit.
For some reason an uneasy feeling settled over him as he watched the songwriter chase after the robber. His thoughts shifted to Ally and couldn't help but think that something was wrong. He decided to go make sure everything was okay and walked out of his house.
This strange emotion kept getting stronger. Austin was trying not to freak out but it was getting hard. He stopped walking for a minute and for a split second all he could see was a terrified Ally huddled in a corner. That image was enough for him to break into a full run.
Since he lived only a few minutes from the mall, he made it to the Sonic Boom in 4 minutes. Racing through the front door, Austin let his eyes immediately searched for Ally. When he didn't see her, he panicked. "ALLY!" Austin screamed. He heard a thud coming from the practice room. He bolted up the stairs and almost busted the door down, but in the nick of time he was able to twist the knob.
He found Ally picking herself up off the floor. It looked as if she had fallen off the couch. Austin flew to her side and pulled her up into an embrace. He was finally calming down from his near heart attack.
"Austin, what is it?" Ally asked. She was a little mad at him at first for scaring her, which resulted in her falling off the couch she was napping on, but when she felt him sigh with relief when he had her in his arms, all of her anger melted away. "I'm sorry for scaring you Ally. I just had a really bad feeling and needed to make sure you were okay." Austin replied. He was still holding on to her. He wasn't quite ready to let her go yet.
"What do you mean 'a bad feeling'?" Ally inquired. She was really starting to worry now. "I don't know. I just got this feeling that you were in trouble. I tried to ignore it this morning but it kept getting worse. By the time I was ready to come over here, I was losing my mind. I started wondering what it meant and all my ideas terrified me so I ran here as fast as I could." Austin replied, "You mean so much to me Ally. I can't stand the thought of something happening to you. I love you." "I love you too." Ally said while snuggling deeper into Austin's chest.
Ring Ring. Austin and Ally heard the bell from the door downstairs. Ally usually put it on there when her Dad wasn't watching the store (as in always) and she wanted to go to the practice room. Austin released Ally from the bear hug he had her in but kept one arm across her shoulders. The couple then proceeded to walk downstairs.
"Welcome to Sonic Boom. Is there anything I can help you with?" Ally asked the customer. When the customer looked at Ally, she scooted a little closer to Austin and she felt his grip on her tighten. The customer was a tall, well built man that looked a little like a biker. What really scared Ally though were his eyes which had an almost evil glint to them.
The man pulled out a long knife and made a move towards Ally but Austin was too quick. Austin pushed Ally behind him which caused the man to put a cut on Austin's arm. "Ally, run!" Austin commanded but he didn't look back. He knew Ally would trust what he said and would listen to him. Besides, he wasn't letting the knife wielding psycho out of his sight.
"This guy messed with the wrong girl. NOBODY touches my Ally." Austin thought to himself as his protective side completely took over. He heard Ally run up the stairs and slam the practice room door. The man smiled at him and lunged. Austin always considered his dancing skills just a cool thing he had, he would never take them for granted now. When he saw the guy shoot forward his was able to turn enough where the guy went flying past him. Without hesitating, Austin leaped onto the guys back, knocking him to the ground. Austin saw the knife fly across the floor and under the violin display. The guy then started to turn over, causing Austin to lose his balance. The guy was now on top of Austin. Using his very flexible body, Austin managed to wiggle out of the man's death grip and sock the guy right on the left eye. The two fought and wrestled, during which both guys were able to punch the other several times, but Austin managed to get back on top of the guy. Austin didn't hesitate; as soon as he could he punched the guy in the nose so hard that he heard the sound of bones breaking. The man screamed in pain but Austin didn't let up. Letting his rage take over, Austin punched the guy as hard as he could. Within three more punches the guy was out cold.
As Austin was getting up, two police officers ran in the door. One helped Austin up and the other handcuffed the attacker in case he woke up. The officer helping Austin asked if the bloody teenager wanted an ambulance, but Austin refused. He shook the cop off and as fast as Austin could without falling, he went up the stairs to the practice room. Austin didn't care if he was in pain; he had to go see his girl. Using the spare key they keep on top of the door, Austin unlocked the door and walked in. He heard a whimper coming from the corner. When he looked that way, he saw Ally hiding in the same spot that he saw her in on the way over this morning.
"Austin?" asked a very timid Ally who was clutching her phone to her chest. "Yeah babe it's me. Come here." Austin said softly while making his way to her. Ally didn't need to be told twice. She scurried as fast as she could from her cubbyhole and into Austin's awaiting arms. Austin had to fight to keep his balance because she lunged at him so hard. She was squeezing him so tightly the he was in a lot of pain but he didn't say anything because it felt so good. He felt water seep through his shirt. He just stood there, held her, and shushed her as she sobbed on him. When she finally calmed down, he tilted her face up to him and kissed her gently, silently letting her know that everything was okay. She finally released him to inspect his injuries. What she saw made her start crying all over again. Austin had two black eyes, a busted lip, bruising all over and probably a few other injuries she couldn't see.
"You should see the other guy," said Austin as he grinned. Ally was comforted to know that he wasn't hurt enough to reduce his cockiness. Tearily she looked up at him and said "I love you." Austin kissed her forehead and whispered, "I love you too."
Knock Knock. Austin and Ally looked up to see the African-American cop that helped him standing at the door. "I'm sorry to interrupt. Are you guys okay?" the officer asked kindly. At both of their nods the man introduced himself as Officer Morgan. "I know this is tough but we need to take both of your statements." Austin motioned for the Morgan to sit down as he and Ally sat down on the piano bench. Austin kept Ally close to him throughout the entire time; occasionally he would kiss her forehead in order to make sure she didn't break down again.
Just as Morgan was getting ready to leave, Ally's dad, Austin's parents, Dez, and Trish ran in. All of them squeezed the life out of Austin and Ally. Officer Morgan drew Mr. and Mrs. Moon and Mr. Dawson to the side to explain what happened while Austin and Ally talked to Trish and Dez.
"Austin, are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?" Ally asked. "Honey, for the last time, I'm fine. I'll be sore for a little while, but I promise, I'm fine," Austin replied and kissed her softly.
"Sweetie, I'm sorry but I have to go to an emergency convention. I don't want to but if I don't our cymbal vendor will quit on us. Are you gonna be okay?" Lester Dawson asked his daughter. "Yeah dad, I'll be fine. Go." Ally replied. "Okay I'll see you in a week." Lester gave Ally one last hug and left.
"Austin, are you ready to go?" Mimi Moon asked. Morgan, Trish, and Dez had left just before Lester did. "Yeah, about that, would it be okay if Ally stays with us. Lester is going to be gone for a week and I don't want to leave her alone." Austin said pulling Ally closer to him. "Sure dear. We would love to have you Ally if that's okay with you." Mimi replied. "That would be perfect. Could we stop by my house to pick up some clothes?" Ally asked. "Sure sweetie. Why don't you and Austin lock up and meet us in the car. "Mimi said and left with Mike.
"Are you ready?" Austin inquired. "Yeah let's get out of here, "said Ally. "I love you, Ally" Austin said while looking at her with those kind brown eyes and gently tugging on one of her curls. "I love you too, Austin," Ally replied. He then kissed her sweetly on the lips. When they broke the kiss he leaned their foreheads against the others and whispered, "Let's go." With one last look around, they both walked away with their arms wrapped around the other's waist.
They both new that it was going to be a long way to get their lives back together. It will take awhile but they will make. Because they are better together.
Finally finished. So happy! I might do another chapter about how they help each other through their nightmares. You can pm me or put it in a review if you guys want that. Just let me know. I hope you guys like it.
