Chapter 1
Introductions and Flashbacks Part 1
Ally's POV
Hey there; my name is Ally, and I'm 16 years old. I really don't know what to say, I'm not very good at first impressions. They make me nervous and gnaw on my hair; it's a habit I got from my mother. She died of cancer when I was 4. I can vaguely remember her face, but becomes clear when I look at her pictures. My dad said I was just like her. *sigh, I remember that day like it was just yesterday…
FLASHBACK…
I was sitting next to my best friend, Austin Moon on the porch swing in my front yard, eating fruity mint swirl ice cream; then all of a sudden we hear a faint thump, and my aunt Kyra scream for my dad. We both look at each other, confused and a bit worried. We see my dad carry my mom to the car; but my mom has no movement. Austin's parents come out to help my dad. I call out, "Mommy!" I start to run after them, but to only be picked up by my aunt. "Sweetie, your mommy needs to go to the doctor right now", she said. I started to cry, I suddenly remembered I was with Austin.
"Austin…" I started, but he cut me off by giving me a hug. It was what I needed at the moment. He soothingly said, "Everything is going to be alright…"
I wished that was true, because when we got to the hospital, everyone was crying; even Mr. Moon…
I ran up to my dad. "Daddy, where is Mommy?" He turned his head to me; "Mommy is in a better place. She's an angel now, but she can't come back to us." I started to bawl. "NO! Mommy has to be here, she HAS to be here." His tears began to flow again, as he embraces me with in his arms.
That's when we moved to Miami a year later, to restart. I can remember how hard it was for my dad to separate me from Austin…
It was our last day, and I spent every second of it with Austin. "I really am gonna miss you Ally-Cat", his voice threating to crack. "Me too. Promise you won't forget about me?" He gave me a sad smile; "I promise I won't forget you, as long as you don't forget me." "My dad said we would be back, when he feels better." "WAIT! I HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE YOU!" we both shouted. I ran to my room and grabbed Dougie the Dolphin; my favorite stuffed animal. But I knew that Austin loved it as much as he loved pancakes. I figured it would remind him of me.
I ran outside to find Austin waiting with his arms behind his back. We both shouted "ONE, TWO, THREE!" He revealed a leather book, with a big, red A on the front. My mouth agape open, just like his when I showed him Dougie.
My dad came up to us, and told me we had to leave now. I asked him for five more minutes. I gave Austin a big hug as far as my short arms could go and a kiss on the cheek. I giggled as he turned a bright pink. "I'll be back Austin. I promise." He smiled, "And I'll be here waiting for you." I jumped into the back seat of my dad's SUV. A tear rolled down my face as my best friend was disappearing behind us.
