Ok, so this is my first story so please don't hate on it. Please tell me if I should continue or if I should fix anything Thank Yous! P.S ME SO HAPPY A&A IS COMING BACK FOR MORE IN SEASON FOUR!

"I never thought it would come down to this."

I stared at him. This boy, this man who briefly held my heart for the last week or so, was now seemingly cracking it, almost as if he wanted it to shatter just so he could laugh in my face.

"But it probably wouldn't have worked out anyway," he droned on, "there's also the fact that I'm leaving for Seattle sometime soon. It wouldn't be right to start up something."

I wanted to scream, argue, to yell in his face. We did start something.

Possibly the most dangerous fire ever known to mankind.

"Are you seeing someone else?" I blurted out.

He looked taken aback. It was the first time I spoke ever since we began the conversation. Red-faced and flustered, he tried to muster a reply.

"No! Of course not! Are you accusing me of cheating?"

I looked at him skeptically, then sighed. "It's ok Austin. You can't cheat on me if we were never together in the first place."

It was his turn to sigh. "I wanted t- I just never got th-," he took a deep breath, then continued, "Ally, I loved you more than you've ever imagined-I still do, its ju-,"

"Then why are you leaving me?"

A long pause. The silence roared loud in my ears.

"I-uh, I have to go to Seattle, like I told you."

Excuses.

"We can do long distance."

"My family's going through hard times right now."

"I'm here for you," the amusement evident in my voice.

He groaned. "I just- I can't- look Ally-I-," in his word vomit, he looked at me hoping I could just, understand.

I raised an eyebrow. This was going nowhere. And suddenly, we found ourselves caught up in the most intense staring contest.

Chocolate. Chocolate was my favorite color, the color of his eyes, and he seemed to know that. So there I stood, staring up into his chocolate orbs, with him staring right back. And quick as lightning, he pulled me into one of his tight hugs that I had grown to love this past week. I could smell his cologne, my favorite one of his, where I would snuggle up to his chest just to catch a scent of it. He pulls back a bit, and I see that his hair has flopped over his eye a bit, and I know in just a second, he will run his hand through it so it has that sexy-messy look. It's funny how much you learn about a person in just one week.

"I'll miss you Ally."

And with that, he swiftly pulls away and walks down the street with quick, long strides. I have to sprint to catch up.

"Austin! Austin, please don't leave!" desperation now filling my voice.

He doesn't even look at me. "Ally, I have to go now, or I won't be able to later."

"You say that like it's a bad thing." And when he didn't respond, I went on with, "Austin... I don't understand...We had the best week of our lives-well I did, at least-and now...it's like you-,"

He cut in, "Ally I'm probably not your dream guy, or 'The One'. I just don't want you to get hurt. I bet once you know my secret, you won't even wanna be with me."

I gasped. "You are seeing someone else! I knew it! Even though we aren't officially dating, we we're still involved, weren't we?" Tears started to swell in my eyes. "Oh god, I can't believe I-,"

He lunged forward, stealing the words right from my mouth with a sweet kiss. He grabbed my hand a pulled me over to a stone bench, proceeding to plop down with a huff and bury his face in his hands.

"Austin..." it wasn't so much as his name as a warning. He stayed silent. "Austin...you can tell me anything. I told you this before but I care about you, I'm here for you...I love you." Another sigh. He's been sighing a lot lately.

I gave him a few more minutes, and when he spoke, it was so quiet, I wasn't sure if it was in my head.

"I'm broke."

Unbelievable. "That's your secret? Who cares if you're broke?"

He looked at me surprised. "I thought you did. I thought...that you wouldn't want to be with me once you find out. I saw you with your fancy outfits and that expensive Challenger in your driveway. An-and I couldn't take that heartbreak, so I had to leave you first. Of course, it doesn't make a difference because my heart will be broken no matter what. Coming here to L.A for a week was a once in a lifetime chance for me. My dad, he sent me here on his death bed. He told me to go somewhere I've always wanted to go. The U.K was my number one choice but we didn't have enough money for that. I thought L.A would be slightly less expensive-I mean, at least it's not over seas."

"Oh," was all I could think of. I mean what do you say to something like that?

"But now, I've run out of money and I have to stay with a friend in Seattle."

I couldn't help it. "What about your mom?" I blurted out. As soon as the words came out, my hand came up to cover my mouth. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Why would you say that? Do you know how insensitive you sound? "Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to say that," I rushed.

He chuckled. "It's ok Ally, really. My mom...I never knew her...she ran away literally right after I came into this fucked up world. I mean who fucking does that?!"He took a few moments to calm down. "I'm sorry Ally, it's just I've always wondered what it would be like to have a mom."

I needed to change the subject. "So, uh, who's this friend of yours?" I winced. Externally. Not really the best topic to change it to. I didn't need to be reminded that he wanted to leave.

"Her name's-,"

"Her?! It's a girl?!"

"Look Ally, she's a childhood friend, and she's the only connection that I have left in the country."

"What about me?"

"I didn't know how you would react, so I decided not to take that risk." He shrugs and says it nonchalantly like he almost doesn't care.

"You would rather leave me heartbroken than angry at you?" Tears once again pooling in my eyes, my vision blurred, I looked up at him.

He closed his eyes and let out, yet another sigh. I twisted my body away from him, ready to run if I needed.

"Ally-I can explain."

That did it. I managed to get the last word, "That's what they all say." And with that, I sprinted down the street, away, away from him, away from life, away from everything.
