Love is a Four Letter Word…

Austin woke up to the sound of his phone buzzing on his nightstand. "Hello?" He mumbled into the phone. He was surprised to hear Ally's voice. Sure it wasn't early, maybe ten in the morning at the latest. "I'm surprised you woke up Austin!" Emmaline was sick last night so Austin was up with her most of the night. "Yeah, I just woke up. What's up?" Austin sat up as he tried to not fall asleep on Ally. "My dad is out of town and I really need your help at the store. I know you weren't supposed to come in until Monday, but can you please." She was rushed and out of breath. Austin reluctantly got up and began to get dressed as she shouted words of gratitude in his ear. "I'm gonna check on Em and then I'll be there."

Austin felt his mouth fall agape at the sight of Sonic Boom. Customers were lined out the door. The short Latino Austin vaguely remembered as Ally's best friend was bossing them into a line. Austin took her yells of exasperation as his cue to get inside. Trish seemed to brighten at the sight of him hurrying inside as her commands to the line got a little less loud. "What the hell?" Austin spoke aloud as he saw customers in every corner of the room. They were all yelling at Ally for help and he had enough. After an ear piercing whistle everyone finally shut their mouths. "We're going to do this one at a time. Go stand by the instrument you're interested and I'll go through the room and help you all." He smiled as he received a gracious smile from the brunette behind the counter. She mouthed him two simple words and sent him a smile that made his heart flutter for reasons he couldn't place. "Thank you!"

Austin collapsed on the floor of the practice room upstairs after they closed up Sonic Boom for a brief lunch. Ally, Trish, and a read head named Dez sat in a circle and ate their lunches. As weird as Dez is for having brought everyone their favorite foods (he even brought Austin pancakes and he never even met him) he was more worried of Ally. She was downing pickles like there was no tomorrow. He couldn't understand it at all. When she looked up shyly his heart swooned. What the hell? I've only known her for a few days. He scolded himself.

Trish and Dez were having an argument when Counting Stars sang from his phone. Austin automatically picked it up, recognizing the ringtone immediately. "Emmaline." Everyone turned their heads at Austins concerned tone. Dez and Trish shared an unnoticed confused look while Ally's heart skipped a beat. "Is everything okay?" She asked barely above a whisper. Austin just shook his head and left. Ally sat there as a small tear found its way down her face.

Austin was welcomed home with screams by his parents in the next room. He sighed and quickly made his way up the stairs to his room. He found his sister curled up in a ball crying. She had obviously postponed calling her brother. Austin put his headphones in her ears and carried her down the stairs and out of the house. He smiled as she was asleep before they reached his car.

When they pulled up to Sonic Boom Ally was waiting outside while Trish and Dez manned the store. When she saw Emmaline asleep in Austins arms she let out a sigh she didn't know she was holding. "Ally, I have something to take care of. Can you watch her for awhile?" Ally nodded and led Austin up to the practice room where he carefully laid Em on the couch and covered her up in his jacket. He placed a chaste kiss on her forehead before leaving without a word.

A few hours later Emmaline awoke to the sound of beautiful music playing. She looked around and saw Ally sitting at the piano. She sang softly the words to the Butterfly song. Austin used to sing it to me when I had nightmares. He told me it was a beautiful little girl he used to go to camp with. They didn't want to know each other's name so they used code names. That's when it dawned on Emmaline. Ally was the little girl her brother used to speak of.

"Hey Ally, do you want know how I got my name?" Ally turned to Emma, startled and confused. "Sure!" She had on a very intrigued expression. It seemed she had been wondering for awhile. "Austin named me." Ally turned her full attention to me at that time. "When he was my age he met a little girl. They didn't think they would ever see each other again so they used fake names. He never mentioned what he told the girl his name was, but she told him to call her Emmaline. He spent almost a full day repeating the name to be able to pronounce it correctly. He really wanted to impress her. Ever since he met her he had been convinced that it was the most beautiful name in the world, but he always wanted to know her true name. Even to this day he regrets that they used fake names." Emmaline stopped her ramble when she saw the expression on Ally's face. "Are you okay?" She hesitantly asked. Ally shook her head as a small smile appeared on her face. "He never gave a fake name Em, he told her his name from the beginning. She was just to naïve to realize it." Emma smiled and jumped up. "I knew it! He sings me the butterfly song every time I have a nightmare or our parents fight. He learned that song from you the day before he left!" Ally couldn't help but smile as she knelt down in front of Emmaline. "Don't tell him this is our little secret. Deal?" Em smiled and held her hand out. "Deal!"
