Ok before we start it's personal story time. I don't know why but I just feel the need to tell you this. So I know this will sound really crazy but I think that some of the things I write about are actually happening to me in real life. In Camp Heartache when I wrote about Austin & Ally fighting and ending their friendships, the same thing happened to my best friend and I. Now we aren't friends. And the next thing I wrote was in 326 miles away and how Austin told her he loved her and needed to see her and how beautiful she was over the phone, well last night a complete stranger called me and told me the same things! It's so weird and I know these two things are probably just coincidences but if something else I write about happens to me then things are getting seriously freaky. Sorry, I just wanted to let you all know I guess. Anyways thank you so much for all the wonderful feedback on the first chapter! You guys make me so happy :)

Chapter 2: Reuniting With You


Eighty two days. It's been eighty two whole days since I had seen Austin in person and the wait was finally over. It almost doesn't seem real you know. Like I'll wake up to find that this was just another dream but it's actually happening! I could finally stop missing him for the next few days. Austin would be here really soon and knowing that I'll be able to have my arms around him again is making me feel light headed. I just want what little time we have together to be really special.

"Ally honey you need to calm down." My mother told me.

"What do you mean, I am perfectly calm." I replied nervously.

"You've been pacing back and forth for ten minutes now and you keep doing that weird thing with your hands. You have nothing to be worried about." she reassured.

"Nothing to be worried about? He is going to be here any minute now and I just want everything to be perfect! Do I look ok? Oh who am I kidding I need to go change! And I already know dad is going to give him a hard time and you're going to be embarrassing and what if I mess something up too?" I let it all spill out of my mouth so fast that I'm surprised I even understood what I was saying.

She took a moment to take it all in, her expression now puzzled.

"I'm not embarrassing. Am I?" she asked to herself.

I didn't reply but I did give her a knowing look.

"Don't go change, you've already changed three times and you look good! I'm not sure why you are worrying so much, everything will be fine Ally." She said as she tucked a stay strand of hair out of my face.

I let a long breath and suddenly felt a lot calmer. She was right. This long weekend was going to be perfect and nothing was going to ruin it. Not my parents or an evil girlfriend or anything.

"Thanks mom." I smiled while pulling her in for a hug. I really needed that.

And then I heard a car pulling up outside the house and I knew it couldn't be dad because he had work for another few hours still. I subconsciously ran to the window to check who it was. It had a perfect view of our drive way and I felt my heart drop when I saw Austin getting out of his car.

Even though there was a window separating us, I was somehow left speechless. My heart was rattling inside its ribcage and the only thing I could focus on was how the sunlight hit his every feature so well.

"He's here." I smiled widely.

My instincts told me to run outside so that's what I did.

"Austin!" I shouted excitedly as I ran up to him.

He dropped his bags as I threw my arms around him so he could grab hold of my waist. He spun us around so fast that he was the only thing in perfect resolution, the rest of the world fading together in a blur. That was when I really took it all in. Immediately I started to giggle and his smile made my heart beat incredibly fast. Never have I felt more at home than at this exact moment.

"Als." He sighed contently.

He set me down but his arms stayed in place. Despite our incredible height difference our foreheads managed to touch and our lips, well that was a totally different story.

Neither of us had to say anything. He just sealed the gap between us, it now no longer existing as his lips pressed into mine. The moment we finally connected at the lips was when everything felt right again. Every nerve inside me felt so alive and the familiar tingle in my lips had returned. It had been forever since I felt that tingle. My hands found their favorite place, tangling themselves into his messy blond hair as he deepened the kiss. His arms wrapped tightly around my waist, pulling me in even closer.

The taste of his lips was still very much the same and I was going to get as much as I could get. We had been deprived of each other for too long. Just like I need air, I need Austin if I want to live. And this was our most magical of kisses yet. It was soft and gentle yet burning with passion and desire. Our lips just moved together like nothing had changed. And that's just the way I liked it.

He pulled apart much sooner than I would have liked but I know that is just the first of many kisses. Our breaths were heavy and in perfect synch as I took a moment to really admire what had been gone for so long. His dimples and nose and big brown eyes were still the same as I remember, possible even better than before. Gosh am I ever lucky to have him.

"Hi." He whispered against my ear.

"Hi." I giggled.

"You're here." I smiled widely.

"I missed you so much." he replied.

His arms wrapped tighter around me, pulling me in to his chest for a bone crushing hug. I nuzzled my head into his chest, completely giving in to the embrace. He was so warm just like I had expected and I think his muscles had developed some more if that were even possible. But the best thing about this hug was his heartbeat. My ear was pressed up against his chest, giving me full access to the thing that keeps him living. Its beats created a rhythm designed only for Austin and it was a sound I could never get sick of. I missed his hugs so much, but mostly I just missed everything about him in general. I closed my eyes and just let myself enjoy this moment.

"You two are so cute!"

We pulled apart to find my mom standing a few feet away from us with a camera in her hand. Moment definitely ruined. Was she actually videotaping us?! I want to die right now.

"Hi Penny." Austin laughed.

"Mom." I groaned.

My cheeks turned a lovely red out of embarrassment. I couldn't even look at Austin. Instead I just hid behind my hands.

"Say something adorable to each other! This is going to be played at your wedding!" She told us excitedly.

Great. Because you know Austin and I are totally getting married at seventeen.

"Please turn that thing off." I asked desperately while mentally face palming myself.

"Ally don't put your hands in front of your face, it's blocking your view." She said, completely ignoring my pleas.

I felt Austin remove my hands as he chuckled at the situation we had gotten in. He shook his head and then placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, giving my mom what she wanted. The kiss forced a smile on to my face and he gave me a reassuring nod.

"Perfect!" My mom gushed as she shut the camera off.

"Mom! I only you asked you to not do one thing and you go and do it. Seriously?" I exclaimed.

"Honey, don't be so dramatic! I'll get plenty of other videos, don't worry." She reassured.

"Awesome." I said with a blank look on my face.

"Ok I'm going to give you two a moment alone while I go save this to the computer!" she said cheerfully.

I waited for my mom to go back into the house before I let out my frustrated groan.

"Don't even worry about it." Austin chuckled.

"She ruined what was supposed to be a cute and romantic moment for us!" I said to him.

"I wouldn't say she ruined it but it's definitely more memorable now." he added.

"How was the drive here?" I asked, wanting to forget about my mom.

"Long but totally worth finally getting to see you." he smiled.

"I've really missed you." I told him while wrapping my arms around his neck.

His hands instinctively moved to my waist as I leaned in to kiss him. Every inch of my skin blazed like fire the moment our lips touched. We moved in perfect synchronization and I couldn't help but be captivated by the warmth and goodness of him. I would never get enough of this.

We pulled apart before the whole neighborhood could see anything past rated G, not that Austin and I would do something like that in public anyway.

"C'mon let's go inside before my mom starts naming our nonexistent children." I laughed.

He took my hand in his, our fingers lacing together as we made our way into my house. It was really nice to finally be able to hold his hand.


"Sorry my dad is forcing you to sleep in the guest bedroom. He's a little overprotective." I giggled.

Once I had gotten my mom to stop taking a hundred pictures of us we went upstairs so Austin could unpack. I was currently seated on the bed he would be sleeping in for the next four days, watching him unpack his belongings.

"It's alright. The last thing I need is to get on his bad side." He shuddered at the thought.

"Trust me he still likes you. You're probably his favorite guy that I've ever dated. It's just that he's trying to put on the tough dad act because he doesn't like the idea of his little girl growing up." I said while shaking my head.

"Well it's different now that I'm your boyfriend. He didn't have to worry about us when we were twelve and just best friends." He pointed out.

"I guess I'm just going to have to sneak in here every night so we can kiss and cuddle and sleep together." I informed him with a casual shrug.

"Ooh Ally Dawson breaking her parents rules? I like it." he winked at me.

"Whatever!" I laughed.

"We are going to have the best weekend ever." He smiled.

"I agree. And I think the first order of business should be to cuddle upon your request while my mom isn't harassing us." I suggested.

"I like that idea." He nodded while chuckling at my sudden seriousness.

I patted the spot next to me and he easily complied, making his way right beside me. I pulled a blanket over us and he pulled me closer by the waist so that my back rested against his chest. His arms wrapped protectively around me, enveloping me in his warmth. He nestled his head in the crook of my neck and his breath tickled my skin. I drew small circles on his forearm with my thumb and tangled my feet with his.

"This is so much better than a computer screen." I said quietly.

"Your feet are still freezing, your skin is still soft, and your body still fits perfectly with mine. Nothing can beat this." Austin nodded in agreement.

"I can think of one thing." I smiled.

"And what's that?" he challenged.

"I think it's better if I just show you." I replied while biting my lip.

I turned on my side so that I could be face to face with him. I snaked my arms behind his neck, bringing our faces closer together. I brought my lips to his, just barely ghosting over them at a painfully slow pace. Our noses brushed against each other's, our chests pressed tightly together. Time stood still and my mind raced as we lied there connected at the lips.

"Ok cuddling is a close second." He said against my lips once we pulled apart.

"I missed your kisses so much." I said while playing with the hair at the back of his head.

"It's kind of weird being able to kiss you whenever I want. So many things are taken for granted when we live so far apart." He sighed while playing with a strand of my hair.

"I know but we are wasting valuable time talking about kissing instead of actually doing the real thing." I reminded.

"Right." he laughed.

He took the hint and went back to placing gentle kisses across my lips. My eyes immediately fluttered shut at the pure bliss of it all. Like each kiss soothed and healed anything bad or broken inside me. Everything from his scent to his physical touch put my body on high alert, making me anticipate every breath he took.

But the kisses quickly turned from soft and sweet to heated and full of desire. Like a simple flick of a switch and Austin was kissing more than just my lips. His hands slowly slid down my body and landed firmly on my hips. His mouth traveled down my jaw and left a trail of heated kisses behind my neck, creating a path to their final destination. My collar bone.

And during all of this my eyes were glued shut and my fingers tugged at his luscious blond locks as I struggled to form comprehendible thoughts. He made it hard to focus on breathing at the rate he was going at. Who knew that sweet and loving Austin had such dangerous lips. And it was when he started to work at my pulse point when I gave in.

"Austin." I moaned out softly.

I could feel his lips form into a smirk against my skin and I know he didn't miss when I nervously swallowed down the new lump forming in my throat. Oh god isn't it a sin to have lips like his. I felt his gripped grow firmer on my hips and as he captured my lips in his once again. I kissed him back with just as much force, suddenly growing hungrier for more.

My hands moved from his now messy hair to his shirt, grabbing at the hem with fistfuls of the material. Our lips never separated and just as I was about to discard his shirt, the door opened.

"I brought you two some snacks because I'm sure Austin's- oh my!" she gasped as she walked in.

Her mouth was wide open and her eyes were big with shock. Instinctively I pushed against Austin's chest, making him fall to the left of me with a loud thump. There was no point in trying to fix our wrinkled clothes or messy hair or flushed cheeks as my mom had already seen too much.

"Mom, I know what you're thinking but it's really-"

"Both of you just meet me downstairs in two minutes ok." She ordered in a rather calm tone for just catching her daughter making out with her almost shirtless boyfriend.

She left as fast as she came, shutting the door behind her before either of us had a chance to say anything.

"We should have locked the door." I groaned at my own stupidity.

"At least she didn't have the camera with her this time." He chuckled.

"Why are you laughing? Do you realize that now she is going to give us a sex talk when we go down there?" I exclaimed in a frustrated tone.

"You're so cute when you get all flustered you know that." He smiled and winked at me.

"Austin now is not the time to be flirting with me!" I argued.

"Ok, ok. We can finish what we started later." He promised with a smirk forming at the corners of him lips.

I just shook my head at him and let out a loud breath.

"Besides, how bad could it be?" he asked with a small shrug of his shoulders.


Oh it was so bad.

She had Austin and I seated on the couch, but made sure there was enough room for a whole other person to sit in the gap between us. She was sitting in the chair across from us with her hands clasped together and resting against her chin. Her focus switched between Austin and I every so often and the longer she stared the more awkward the room got. I tried to look at anything else but my mom and Austin just looked down at his feet.

"Now Ally, you're a smart girl. I know I've never really had the talk with you but now that you have a serious boyfriend and relationship, it's never too late!" she started a little too enthusiastic.

This is the direction I don't want to head in with my boyfriend sitting two feet away from me.

"Honey, you have grown into a beautiful young lady, there's no doubt about it. I know you're good kids and I'm sure Austin appreciates every aspect of you, but after all he is still a guy and at your age they only want one thing." She looked at Austin with her protective momma bear eyes as she let her words hang above our heads.

I sent him a very apologetic look and right now I was really wishing we had locked the door.

"I know you both love each other but I want to make sure you two are considering all the factors. What if something were to happen? Do you have a plan for all situations? I want you to be ready for anything!" She said in an almost cheery tone.

I couldn't find the words to say anything right now. Mom talking was too much for me to focus on more than this horrifying topic.

"You guys are just lucky I walked in on you and not your father." She halfheartedly laughed like this awful subject was a joke.

"Dad would have knocked." I muttered under my breath.

"Anyways, I understand that you both are young adults and that you have wants and needs and urges like everyone else. It's perfectly normal if you are sexually active but I need to know that you are at least using proper protection and are well educated." She informed us with a serious tone, completely dismissing my previous comment.

I could feel my face growing redder by the second and I can't imagine how Austin feels about this. This felt like some sort of intervention and the last thing I needed was my mom talking about my sex life.

"Mom." I groaned into my hands.

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about Ally." She said with a wave of her hand.

"No I'm not embarrassed, I'm mortified. Aren't parents supposed to not want to hear about their children's sex life?" I asked.

"Penny, I think it's great that you are looking out for us but Ally and I are not that intimate with each other yet. I assure you that we've talked about it ourselves though and we know our limits. Things will only go as far as Ally wants them to. I respect and love her a lot and I don't want to ruin anything between us. She knows that I'll wait a thousand years if that's how long it takes for her to be ready." He reached over to take my hand in his and looked at me the whole time he spoke. Talk about making my heart melt much.

"And when we do take that step, I promise we will be smart about It." he told her with all sincerity, never loosening his grip on my hand.

I mouthed a very grateful thank you over to him and he smiled in return. Thank god for amazing boyfriends.

"Ok now that we've talked about actual sex we still have to cover other things. Are you educated about oral sex because you can still receive an infection this way." she always knew how to ruin the moment.

"Mom, we aren't doing any of that either. We are just taking everything really slow ok." I replied.

"How are we with protection?" she asked next.

"We are fine! I promise all you did was walk in on us kissing. Next time we'll lock the door. Now are we done with these interrogating and personal questions?" I asked desperately.

"Alright, good talk. You two are free to go." She smiled.


After all that's happened today I don't think this is the smartest idea but I wasn't going to let anything get in the way of being with Austin tonight. It was just after midnight and mom and dad were for sure asleep by now so it was now or never if I wanted to sleep next to Austin. I made each foot step quiet as I hurried through the hallway and straight into his room. I opened and closed his door within a matter of seconds and let out a breath of relief when I saw him lying in bed and waiting for me.

"Hi." I whispered.

"Hi." He whispered back.

He waited for me to crawl into bed next him before greeting me with a small peck on the lips and then turning the lamp off. I snuggled close to his shirtless chest as he protectively wrapped his arms around me as the darkness surrounded us. The only light came from the street lights and moon shining through the window.

"Today was wonderful, thank you." he whispered into my ear.

"Wonderful? My mom took a thousand pictures of us and then gave us the most horrifying sex talk ever. And dinner was exceptionally weird with my dad interrogating you and my mom giving us heart eyes the whole time. Today was more like a disaster." I said with pursed lips.

"Your parents are fine, trust me. Those things weren't even that bad but what made today so wonderful was you." he smiled at me.

"Getting to hold you in my arms and hear your laugh and see your beautiful smile and kiss you as much as I want again makes the wait all worthwhile." He said while tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear.

I couldn't help but smile back at him before giving him a gentle kiss for being the sweetest guy in the world.

"You know I don't deserve you." I sighed.

"Why would you say that? You know that's not true." He said softly.

"Because you give me so much and you would do anything for me to be happy when you could easily be with a girl who isn't such a prude and can give you the one thing a guy wants." I admitted quietly.

"Oh Ally, having standards does not make you a prude. Yes I do want those things but I also just want your company and love. I love you and I know you love me and that's more than enough." He reassured.

"You really mean it?" I asked unsure.

"I would never lie to you." he promised.

"I love you." I whispered to him.

"I love you too." He smiled again.

He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead, his lips lingering there for a moment after.

"Goodnight Ally, sweet dreams."

"Goodnight Austin."

My eyelids fluttered closed and I feel asleep to the beautiful sound of Austin's heartbeat.


Well let's just say I wrote this instead of doing homework and I'm probably going to regret it. I'm splitting Austin's visit into two chapters just because I wanted to write about a lot of stuff. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this mix of humor and cuteness. Sorry this is up so late, i would have had it up way earlier but my power went out so I could not access my internet. But better late than never!Thank you for reading and please tell me your favorite part in the reviews! I love you guys a ton!
