Hey everyone! :) After my first story 'Lost Without You', I found myself wanting to write more, so I started thinking about a plot and I got one! So here it is! I hope you like this Auslly two-shot! :D

Warning: Some parts of this are pretty dark and may be triggering. Ally's going to have a dark past and she self-harms and stuff. So it's VERY OOC and AU. But I hope you like it anyways! So it's pretty risky.

Here we go! :D

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot!

Ally's POV

I curled the last piece of my hair and took one last look in the mirror. I sighed and turned my curling iron off. I looked at the clock. 6:30 am. I have to be at school at 7. I sighed and grabbed my phone. I looked down at my arms and decided to change. I don't want anyone seeing my arms.

I decided to wear a purple long sleeve shirt and purple converse with some jeans. Comfortable, just the way I like it.

The bus pulled up in front of the school. I grabbed my bag and started walking towards the bus. "Bye, thank you." I said to the bus driver with a small smile. I stepped down and looked around and found Trish at our spot. "Hey Alls!" She ran over to me with a huge smile. "Hey Trish," I gave a small smile and a hug.

"Let's go!" She said, grabbing my hand and pulling me inside. "Who are you meeting today?" I asked, rolling my eyes. She laughed, "Dez" We sat down at our usual spot on a bench in the hallway. "Dez Fisher? I thought you didn't like him" I said, surprised. She shrugged it off and we waited for them to come.

"So Alls, you wanna go to the movies tonight?" Trish asked while we waited. "Umm, sure. What movie?" I replied. "The Purge?" She wondered. I groaned. "You know I don't like movies like that!" I whined. "Alright, alright, we'll see when we get there." She looked around and saw Dez and his friend Austin come towards us. Trish nudged me to stand up. I rolled my eyes and did. While Dez and Trish talked, I grabbed my headphones in my phone.

"Dez, Austin this is my best friend Ally" Trish introduced. "Hi" I said quietly, not making eye contact. "Hey" Austin said. "You're so short!" Dez commented. I glared at him. "Dez!" Austin and Trish said. I giggled. "It's okay, I know I am." I admitted, finally looking up at them. "You're so tall" I breathed out, looking at Austin.

He has messy blonde hair and hazel eyes. I had to admit he was pretty cute. But I couldn't tell anyone that, not even Trish. She'll try to interfere and try to get us together. And I'm done with all the dating stuff.

"So I'll see you at the movies?" I turned my attention back to Dez and Trish's conversation. "W-what?" I spoke up. I looked at Trish who was looking at me apologetically. "Yeah what? I thought we were going to the movies tonight" Austin asked Dez. "Well Trish is gonna be with us." Dez said. "So is Ally." Trish spoke up. I raised my eyebrows and glanced at Austin, who looked pretty annoyed and surprised. "Alrighty then," I said before grabbing my stuff and walking away.

At the movies.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me" I told Trish. "I'm sorry Ally, but I knew you wouldn't come if I told you!" I sighed, knowing she was right. "Fine," I rolled my eyes. "Yay!" She squealed. "You're the bestest friend ever! " I chuckled and rolled my eyes.

"Wait so this isn't like a date is it?" I questioned. "No. Yes? Maybe? I don't know." Trish finally admitted. "Well I don't care as long as I'm not stuck on a 'date' with Moon boy." I put air quotes around the word date. "Hey, in all honestly you guys would make the best couple." She said. I blushed. "You're so tiny, he's tall and muscular. Your skin tones go perfect together. Your ha—" I cut her off when I saw them walking toward us. "Hey Austin and Dez!" I said a little too enthusiastically.

"Hey!" Dez exclaimed. "Hey," Austin said ,stuffing his hands in his pockets. "So what movie?" I asked. They all shrugged. "How about The Purge? I heard it was really scary" Austin grinned. "You like scary movies?" I asked him. "Only with other people." He looked at me. I rolled my eyes. "Other people as in girls. Because they'll jump into your lap when they're scared and need protection right?" I changed the tone of my voice into a more girly one.

Austin looked shocked. "Well I-I um" He stammered. "Yeah I don't think so." I grabbed my guitar and purse and stood up. "Sorry Trish but I really don't feel like watching a movie right now. You three can, I'll wait at the mall." I said softly. She sent me a small smile and nodded. "It's fine Alls".

"You play?" I heard someone ask. I looked up to see Austin eyeing my guitar. "Um, yeah." I nodded. "Do you mind if I tried something?" He asked. "Don't you have a movie to go watch with them?" I pointed to Trish and Dez. "Oh, um" He turned to Dez. "It's okay buddy. I know you didn't wanna come. You can stay here with Ally!" Dez told Austin. "Is that okay?" Austin turned his attention to me. I shrugged and nodded slightly.

We sat on the edge of the fountain with the guitar set on my lap. "So how long have you been playing?" Austin broke the silence. "Ever since I was 7." I replied. "So 10 years." I continued. "What about you?" I asked. "Since I was 4" He answered. "Woah, that's a long time." I said. He chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, I know. But I've always loved music and playing instruments. Especially guitar." He continued.

"Really? Me too. Music is my basically my escape. As cheesy as it sounds, music speaks to me." I chuckled. He laughed and nodded. "No I get it," He said sincerely. I gave him a small smile and looked down at my guitar. "Hey, what's that?" I looked up and saw him pointing to my arm. Crap, I forgot I rolled my sleeve up. "Um, i-it's nothing." I rolled my sleeve down. "Ally, it's not nothing" He spoke louder. "Austin, I have a cat with long claws okay? It's nothing." I lied straight through my teeth.

I felt a wave of guilt hit me as soon as I finished my sentence. But I couldn't tell the truth. I barley know this kid. I looked at him, hoping he bought it. He looked uncertain and I could tell he wanted to argue. I pushed a strand of hair behind my ear and bit my lip. "So play me something?" I blurted. I had to distract him. He grinned and nodded. I handed him the guitar and looked at him patiently.

He started playing and I immediately knew the song.

Slow down, the world isn't watching us break down

It's safe to say we are alone now, we're alone now

Not a whisper, the only noise is the receiver

I'm counting the seconds until you break the silence

So please just break the silence

The whispers turn to shouting

The shouting turns to tears

Your tears turn into laughter

And it takes away our fears

So you see, this world doesn't matter to me

I'll give up all I had just to breathe

The same air as you till the day that I die

I can't take my eyes off of you (1)

I opened my eyes as he strummed the last note. I found him staring at me. Immediately I felt insecure. "Um.. what?" I asked as nicely as possible. "Huh?" He asked in confusion. "You were staring at me…" I trailed off, feeling a blush rise to my cheeks. "Oh, um sorry. You just have a nice voice." He said quietly. My eyes widened. "I was singing?!" I exclaimed. He laughed at my reaction and nodded.

"You have an amazing voice. Why are you embarrassed?" He asked. "I-I have stage fright." I admitted. "Oh." Was all he said. I nodded. "You shouldn't. Your voice is the best I've heard in a long time." He complimented. "Thanks, but—" He handed me the guitar. "Come on, play me something." He said. I shook my head vigorously. "Nope." I said with a serious face. "Come onnnn!" He pleaded. I shook my head again.

"Pleaaaaseee?" He whined. "Austin it's been 5 minutes. I'm not gonna sing." I said sternly. "Come on it's just you and me, no one else is he—". "I'm not singing Austin!" I finally snapped. I realized that I yelled because everyone was staring at us. "S-sorry." He mumbled. "Look Austin I just—". "I'm gonna go see where Trish and Dez are." He got up and started walking away. I sighed and put my head in my hands.

I'm going home Trish. Tell me everything later, but I have to go right now. –Ally

I pressed sent and grabbed my things and started walking home.

I lay back in my bed looking at the ceiling. I was about to fall asleep when my phone started vibrating. I reached over and groaned. "Hello?" I answered. "Ally! Why did you go home? Austin went back to get you and you were gone. He got worried." Trish replied. I rolled my eyes. "I just wasn't feeling good." It wasn't a complete lie. "Did something happen between you and Austin? He was acting weird." Trish asked. I sighed and explained what happened.

Trish groaned. "Allyyyy!" She extended the y. "It's not my fault! You know how I am! I got really self conscious he saw me arm and scars." I whispered. She sighed. "Alls, you stopped right?" She asked, worried. I looked down at my arm and ran my hand over my scars. "Yeah. I'm 3 weeks clean" I said with a smile. "Promise?" Trish asked. "I swear Trish." I assured her.

We talked for about an hour more before I had to hang up. I went to the kitchen to grab water. "Wh-where are you g-going?" My aunt asked. She's drunk. See, I live with my aunt, since my dad left and my mom passed away when I was little. I have a little sister name Nicole. She's 7.

My mom passed away because of a disease she had. The doctors wouldn't tell me what it is, my mom asked them not to. So now, Nicole and I live with our aunt. Our aunt is an alcoholic, and our uncle works basically 24/7.

"I'm just getting water Aunt Jessie." I reply quietly. "W-why are you dr-drinking water? Alcohol i-is the r-real drink!" She slurred. "I don't drink alcohol." I reply, not making eye contact. "Here! Here! Take it!" She said, handing me a bottle of beer. I shook my head and started walking away. "Take it! You ungrateful little whore!" She threw the bottle at me.

The bottle shattered into tiny little pieces. It didn't hit me it hit the wall. "Cl-clean that up!" My aunt yelled before she fell asleep. I sighed and shook my head, picking up the pieces of the bottle.

As I walked up the stairs I saw Nicole at the top of the stairs wrapped in her blanket crying. I ran up the stairs and wrapped her into a hug. "It's okay sweetie, it's fine." I hugged her tighter and kissed her forehead. She sniffled and looked up at me, then pulled back. She examined my body and pointed at my arm.

I didn't realize a small piece of glass hit it. I guess I'm used to it, so it didn't hurt. "I'm fine hun, come on." I took her hand and let her to the bathroom. I took the glass out slowly. It wasn't deep at all, so not much blood came out.

I cleaned up my arm and put a bandaid on it. "See? I'm fine!" I smiled at her and gave her one last hug. "Did you brush your teeth?" I asked. She nodded and sent me a small smile. "Okay, go to bed."

She shook her head and tugged my shirt. "Come with me," She begged. I chuckled and shook my head, walking to her room with her. We both eventually fell asleep.

Austin's POV.

I met a new girl named Ally. She's pretty cool, but can be a little snappy and rude at times. She had these scars on her arms, I'm not sure from what. I think I have an idea but she blamed it on her cat, and I didn't want to push it. She doesn't seem like the kind of person who opens up to people easily.

But, I really want to get to know her. She seems mysterious and interesting. I want to be friends, so I'm going to try. "Hey Dez," I said, pausing our video game. He looked at me, gesturing me to go on. "When are you hanging out with Trish again?" I asked. "I don't know, we haven't planned it yet." He shrugged.

"Why?" He wondered. "I kinda wanna see Ally again." He smirked, giving me a knowing look. I rolled my eyes. "She just seems… interesting" I shrugged. He smiled and nodded, grabbing his phone. "Well go get ready." He gestured, upstairs. "Wait, n-now?" I asked. He gave me a blank expression and I nodded, running upstairs.

Before I knew it, there was a knock on the door. Dez went and greeted Trish. "Hey Trish," I smiled and her. "Meh, hey." She replied, not caring much. "Where's Ally?" I asked her. "Oh yeah, she couldn't come. She had to babysit or something." She shrugged. "Where does she live?" I asked.

Ally's POV.

The doorbell rang and I raised my eyebrow, wondering who would be here. "Wait here Nicole," I told her, smiling a bit. I ran downstairs and looked through the peephole. I opened the door with a shocked look. "Austin?" I couldn't believe my eyes. "What are you doing here? How'd you know where I live, why are yo—" He cut me off. "Hello to you too." He let himself in. "No one said you can come in." I said, harshly.

He gasped, "I'm hurt." He said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes. "What are you doing here?" I asked again. "I wanted to hang out with you and Trish told me yo—" Now I cut him off. "You wanna hang out with me?" I asked, shocked.

"Yeah, you seem cool." He grinned. "Well I can't I have to babysit." I said, opening the door, waiting for him to leave. "And that's what I'm here to do." He said, smiling. "So where's your sister? Up here?" He said, going up the stairs. I stared at him weirdly. "What even…?" I mumbled to myself before closing the door and going upstairs.

"So Nicole, this is Austin. Austin, this is my sister Nicole." I introduced them. "Nice to meet you," Nicole mumbled shyly. Austin grinned and looked at me, then at her. "Well you too, Nicole." He shook her hand.

The whole night we hung out and got to know each other better. With Nicole too of course. She grew to love Austin so much. He treats her like his little sister. I love that.

I heard the door open and widened my eyes. "Allyson!" My aunt yelled. "Crap." I said, closing my eyes. She slammed the door hard, making the whole house shake. Then she came upstairs. "Well who's this?" She pointed at Austin. "Umm, this is Austin." I mumbled.

"You little whore! What kind of influence are you for your little sister?!" She wasn't sober. "Come on!" She said, taking Nicole's hand. "Come on you!" She took her vigorously, running out the door. "No!" I yelled, running after her.

I ran downstairs, but she was already gone. I sat on the couch with my head in my hands. "So…what was that?" I heard Austin's voice. I looked up at him. "Really?" I asked. "I mean who was that." I sighed. "Can we go find them please? She's drunk and I don't know what she's gonna do." Austin grabbed my arm and his car keys and ran out the door.

"It's been 2 hours!" I whined. He sighed, and kept driving. "What are we supposed to do?" He asked, looking at me. "I-I don't really kno-" My phone rang. "Hello?" I answered. "Yes, this is she…" I trailed off. "W-what?!" I dropped my phone in shock. "H-hospital, now.." I said, shaking.

I ran into the hospital panting. "Nicole D-dawson." I told the receptionist. "Right there." She gestured to the room across the hall.

I walked in there slowly, closing my eyes. "Ms. Dawson?" The doctor said. I nodded, almost in tears. Nicole had wires hooked up everywhere. He took me outside. "Ms. Dawson, your sister was involved in a horrible car accident. Apparently, your aunt was drunk, and crashed into a bridge." I swallowed a lump in my throat and nodded slowly. "Your aunt was killed on the spot, and your sister is, - well here." I felt relief and sadness at the same time. "H-how is she?" I choked out. "We don't think she'll be able to make it." The doctor said. That was it. I burst into tears. "We're so sorry Ms. Dawson, but we're going to run a few more tests and we'll let you know. You can go in now." I nodded and went in, sitting by her bedside.

I continued crying for 2 hours straight. Then I felt a hand on my back, and looked up realizing Austin was still here. I completely forgot about him.

Nicole woke up the next day, and Austin went home to get some new clothes. "So am I really gonna get to see mommy and daddy?!" Nicole said excitedly. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. "Y-yeah. Yeah sweetie, you are." I choked out. "You're gonna be so much better." I squeezed her hand and let a tear slip down my cheek.

"Austyyy!" Nicole grinned, looking at Austin. "Hey sweetie," Austin gave her a small smile. He sat on the other side of the bed and took her other hand. "Ally, you need to eat." Austin looked at me with tired eyes. I haven't slept since it happened, and he slept for around 4 hours. I haven't eaten either. I shook my head vigorously. "N-no, I wanna stay next to Nicole." I said, beginning to shake.

"Ally, it's been 24 hours. You need food." He said. I was too tired to argue, I just shook my head again. "Ally, you need food!" Nicole spoke up. I looked at her with a small smile. "I don't wanna leave you." I told her, squeezing her hand. "Austin will stay with me." She assured. I looked at Austin and he nodded, mentally telling me it was ok.

I went and tried eating but I couldn't. I took two bites and I was done. I couldn't eat anymore. It's not I didn't want to, I literally could not.

Later that night.

"How are you feeling sweetie?" I asked Nicole."Meh," She mumbled. She hasn't been talking much anymore. Trish and Dez came and visited us. Surprisingly, Austin stayed. I guess he really does care for her.

"Are you coming with me to see Mommy and Daddy?" She said quietly, looking at me. I felt my eyes water. "I will, one day. But not now." I told her. She nodded weakly. "Tell them I love them ok?" I told her. She nodded again. "And I love you Nicole. So much." I began crying. "I love you too sissy," She said, smiling weakly.

She passed later that night.
