Hey everyone! This is my new story, Moon Beam! It's the sequel to my first story "Sunshine", so I suggest you read it first or you will be very confused. Enjoy!
I don't own Austin and Ally
Ally's POV
Hi, I'm Ally Moon. I just can't get used to saying that! Anyway, Austin and I are packing up to go home right now. We went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for a week on our honeymoon, and in my opinion, it went A-MAZING! Every second I spend with Austin makes me fall even more in love with him, even though we're already married.
I used to have horrible commitment issues due to everyone, besides Trish, in my life always leaving me. I grew up with no parents, my first friend leaving without saying goodbye (even though he's back now), being bullied all throughout my school years (by my daughter's biological mother), being abused by the orphanage caretakers, my brother and my worst enemy having a baby together, my brother ditching me on my eighteenth birthday leaving me to raise his baby on my own, and MANY more things that could just make the list go on and on forever. But all of that changed when I met Austin.
Now my life is absolutely incredible. I have a wonderful and daughter, who I love with all my heart. Also, Dez is back in my life as a brother/brother-in-law. Now I have three parent figures in my life…well, four if you count Dr. Murphy's wife, Linda, who's really nice. Then there's Maddie and Trish. Trish has always been there, and I found out I've known Maddie since she was just three days old. Oh, and I can't forget our adorable puppy, Lucky. I love my family so much.
"Hey Als, you almost done packing?", Austin yelled from downstairs snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Uh…yeah", I said. Truthfully, I had finished about half an hour ago, but as you can probably tell, I got lost in my thoughts.
"Well come on then. We need to get going", he said picking up my stuff and dragging me down the stairs of the hotel we've been staying at for the past week.
"Are you seriously that eager to get home so you don't have to spend any more time alone with me?", I joked. Apparently I forgot he's the guy who takes all my jokes seriously.
"No, no, no. Trust me Ally, it's not that. I love you, it's just that I really want to see Ella again", he admitted making me smile.
"Awe, how sweet. You know I was just kidding Austin. I'm not as insecure as I used to be", I said.
"I can tell", he said and kissed me. As soon as we pulled away, he was dragging me to the car again.
Austin's POV
I love being married to Ally. She's the best! Right now I'm dragging her to the car so we can get home. I really miss our daughter…no matter how much I loved the honeymoon.
"Austin I-", Ally started, but cut herself off. "Oh, get in the car. I really miss her too. I can't wait to see her. I've never been away from her this long", she said. I just laughed.
"Okay, but you do realize I missed the first four years of her life right?", I asked pointedly.
"Well I missed the first three months and the whole pregnancy. I know that may not be as much as you, but it nearly kills me every time I think about her having to spend that much time with her", Ally said shuddering.
"I'm sorry Ally. Let's just think about the future we have with her, and not the past we missed", I said. She nodded and slowly fell asleep on my shoulder about ten minutes later. I just watched her for a few minutes before drifting off to sleep myself.
9 hours later
"Mr. Moon, we're here", the driver said waking me up.
"Thanks", I said paying him for driving us all this way. I turned to Ally who was still sleeping. "Als, wake up. We're here."
"What time is it?", she asked tiredly.
"I don't know baby, but we're home. Don't you want to see Ella?", I asked She immediately shot up, pushing her way to the door with me laughing hysterically at her then whole time. She was tripping all over the place from not being fully awake yet, but she was determined to see our daughter.
"Austin, hurry up", she whined.
"MOMMY! DADDY!", Ella yelled running out the door and tackling us both.
"Hey Sunshine", I said laughing.
"Ella! We missed you so much!", Ally exclaimed.
"I missed you guys too. Please don't leave me alone with this crowd for that long again", Ella exaggerated.
"Why, did they lose you again?", Ally joked.
"Yes, about three times, but I wasn't supposed to tell you", Ella said.
"WHAT!? Who lost you?", Ally asked.
"Uncle Dez. The when him and Aunt Trish found me, they started fighting about it, and ended up leaving me there again, but they remembered me about five minutes later", Ella said.
"What about the third time?", I asked specifically remembering her saying three. She smiled sheepishly and the door flung open.
"Ella! There you are! You had us worried sick!", Trish said walking over to where we were.
"Now", Ella said laughing as she answered my question from earlier.
"So this is the fifth time you and Dez have lost our daughter", Ally said when Trish finally noticed us.
"Ella, I thought we agreed not to tell them about that", Trish whispered, biting her bottom lip.
"No, you agreed. I never said a thing", Ella said smiling victoriously.
"Dez! Get your butt back here right now!", Maddie yelled from the door. Ha, glad that's not me anymore.
"Hey guys! It's great to have you back. Please hide me!", Dez said panicked. Maddie ran out of the house with a hoodie over her head, looking very angry.
"Maddie, what's wrong?", Ally asked.
"I don't want to talk about it", Maddie replied. Her voice was muffled, and she sounded very upset. When she started to walk away, I pulled her hood off to reveal her beautiful strawberry blonde hair, now cut different sizes and had streaks of purple in it. Her eyes were red and puffy from where she had been crying so much.
"See, this is why I don't trust people", she said running back inside.
"Dez, what did you do!?", Trish yelled.
"I was using scissors and air die for a funny video, when she walked in. She scared me and the hair die went all over her. I ran to her, inspecting her hair, but I forgot I still had the scissors in my hands", Dez said looking down. I sighed, then looking around I realized Ella wasn't there anymore!
Maddie's POV
I ran all the way back in the house, because I could tell I was about to burst out crying…which I did. I trusted him! I trusted everyone here, which is really new to me, because I never really trusted anyone until I came here. That must've been a mistake. I wanted to keep my hair its natural color, and the length was fine, but now it's ruined.
"Maddie!", I heard Ella yell. Suddenly, everything that happened to me was forgotten as I raced downstairs to make sure she was okay.
"Ella, what's wrong!?", I asked.
"Nothing's wrong, I just wanted to make sure you were okay", she said, and I felt the tears well up in my eyes again. At least I know I still have her.
"Thanks Ella. I'm okay, but look at my hair", I said sighing.
"I think I know a way to fix that", she said running back outside. What?
Austin's POV
We were all about to freak out when we realized Ella wasn't there, but she then came running out the front door. "Aunt Trish, Maddie needs your help", Ella said when she got to us.
"What? Is she okay? Why does she need my help?", Trish asked just as confused as the rest of us.
"She's a mess in there. You have to fix her hair. The rest of you need to help calm her down, because she already thinks she can't trust any of you right now", she said going back inside with us following close behind.
"Maddie, are you okay?", I asked putting my hand on her shoulder, only to have it swatted away.
"Go away!", she yelled.
"Maddie, come on-", I tried again, but stopped when I saw the look of fear in her eyes when she looked up at me. She let of a shrill scream and ran up the stairs.
"Oh no, not her too", Ally said. Now I'm really confused.
"What?"
"I'll explain later. Just let me handle this", Ally replied running upstairs after Maddie.
Ally's POV
"Maddie, its Ally. Please open the door", I said. I partially know what she's going through right now…and it's definitely not Austin, or even Dez. She's having a mental breakdown from trust issues. I could tell she was hallucinating back there, because she knows Austin would never do anything to hurt her, but she looked scared to death when she saw him. I can tell it wasn't really Austin that she was seeing.
"NO!", she screamed loudly.
"Maddie, calm down. I'm Ally. I'm not Tina, or Max, or Samantha. I promise I would never hurt you", I said calmly.
"LIAR! I know this is a trick to get me to come out and get beat again!", she yelled. I managed to pick the lock and ran to her hugging her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.
"LET ME GO!", she yelled.
"Maddie, Maddie look at me. Look me in the eye. I'm not any of the bad people that tried to hurt you. I'm Ally, and I've been through this myself. Please, look at me", I said sternly, still hugging her tightly. When she finally looked up, she just let her head fall and started sobbing uncontrollably.
"Shh, Maddie it's okay. They can't hurt you now. We won't let them hurt you. We love you sweetie. We would never hurt you", I said rocking her back and forth just as Trish had done to me one day when I had a breakdown.
"Ally, it was so real", she cried.
"I know baby. They always seem so real, but I can promise you they're not. That was Austin back there, not Max", I said stroking her hair. Poor girl's been through so much.
"What if I lashed out and hurt someone? I wouldn't be able to live with myself if that happened", she cried.
"Maddie, did you ever try to hurt anyone that hurt you before?", I asked. She shook her head. "You wouldn't hurt anyone baby. You are too good for that. Even if someone ever hurt you, you would never try to hurt them back because you're so good. That's the good, Christian thing to do. Don't ever change that about yourself", I told her.
"Ally, how did you deal with it?", she asked quietly.
"I didn't really. I cried myself to sleep every night what I could've possibly done wrong for any of this to have happened to me. It was overwhelming. If I didn't have Trish back then, I don't know what I would've done. She was the only one there with me through everything, but you have all of us. We're not going to let you break. We all love you too much", I said.
"Thanks Ally. I love you guys too. I think I'm feeling a little better. I should go apologize to everyone", she said getting up.
"You have nothing to apologize for", Austin said leaning in the doorway. Oops, I never told him about that.
Austin's POV
"You have nothing to worry about", I said. I had been listening to their entire conversation. I was in the doorway just in case Maddie freaked out on me again, but instead she ran up and hugged me.
"I'm so sorry Austin", she kept saying while hugging me like her life depended on it.
"Maddie, stop apologizing. You didn't do anything wrong", I assured her.
"Are you kidding me? You were trying to comfort me, and I screamed bloody murder in your face then ran away thinking you were a completely different person", she exclaimed.
"It's okay Maddie. You couldn't help that", I said laughing a little.
"Thanks Austin. I'm going to go apologize to Dez", she said pulling away.
"Oh and Trish said she can absolutely fix your hair…even though you still look just as beautiful as you always have", I said making her smile.
"Brothers", she said rolling her eyes. "Oh, and by the way, get out of my room. I don't want your germs in here", she said laughing while she ran down the stairs. There's the sister I know and love.
I turned around to Ally, only to be sprayed in the face with a water-gun, where she found it, I'll never know, because my personal stash of water-guns are nowhere near here. "Awe…is whittle Austy wet?", she asked in a baby voice, before spraying me again and running out of the room.
"Oh, it's on!", I yelled running to my rather large water-gun collection, to find that there's only one left. So that's how it's gonna be…I grabbed it anyway, and ran off to find the rest of my family who were all apparently hiding. We had a huge fight that was so fun. First day back was interesting to say the least.
