Austin and Ally woke up the next morning, both in good moods. It was Friday. The best day of the week. Ally got Alyssa up and was currently trying to get the sleepy little girl dressed. Austin drove them to the day care and they both walked Alyssa in. Austin bent down to the four year olds height.
"Bye Lyssa. I love you." He said. Alyssa looked up and smiled at him. She kissed him on the cheek and wrapped her small little arms around his neck.
"I love you too daddy." She gave Ally a hug next.
"I love you mommy."
"I love you too. Have a good day at daycare sweetie." She said. They watched happily as Alyssa ran off to play with her friends.
"Take me to the store?" Ally asked looking at her husband. He nodded. They got into the car and headed to Sonic Boom.
"Morning kids." Lester said hugging his daughter.
"Morning dad. Kristen." Ally said smiling.
"So Lester, Ally and I are making dinner tonight and we'd like it if you and Kristen would join us. My parents will be there too if that's alright." Austin said, always polite.
"Well of course!" He said.
"Maybe you could drive Dez to our house and he could drop my car off so I could go to the store later." Ally said looking at Austin.
"Yeah and I can pick Lyssa up from work if you like." He offered.
"Okay, and tell Keegan that I don't work here on Monday so I can come with you to look at the new lyrics." Austin nodded. He leaned down and gave her a kiss. He rubbed two of his fingers against her flat stomach when Lester and Kristen weren't looking.
"I love you." He whispered. She smiled.
"I love you too." She watched as he left and then went to help the nearest customer.
-A FEW HOURS LATER-
"Ally, I brought your car. It's around back." Dez said coming in and handing her the keys.
"Austin outside?" She asked. He nodded.
"Yeah, we're on our way to go get Alyssa." He looked back at her dad and Kristen they were busy working. He leaned in closer to Ally.
"Congratulations by the way." He said smiling. He hugged her.
"Thanks Dez." She said. "Dad, I'm taking off now." She called. He and Kristen looked up.
"Okay honey, thanks for your help. See you at dinner." Ally grabbed her bag and walked out of the store and headed for her car. There was a note on her windshield and she smiled thinking it was from Austin. She unfolded it and her eyes widened at the words written on the crinkled up piece of paper.
Don't turn around. IF you value your life.
Ally, in a moment of nervousness turned around quickly. Oddly, nothing was there. She shrugged it off, this was the mall. Surely it was just some teenager playing a prank. She got into her car and headed for the store. Once in the store she decided to make tacos. She began pushing her cart around and collecting the many items she needed. She was standing by the soup aisle when she heard a rumble. She looked around wondering what the noise was. She looked up to see that shelf beginning to shake. Her eyes widened in fear when she realized it was going to fall right on top of her.
"Look out!" She heard, just as someone pushed her out of the way. She fell to the floor a few feet away from the section of aisle lying where she once was standing. She looked to her side where there was a boy that looked about twenty next to her.
"Are you okay?" He asked helping her up. She looked at the aisle curiously.
"Uh yeah. Thank you, that's uh really strange." She said. He nodded.
"Definitely. I wonder how it happened." She shrugged.
"Well, thanks again." She said.
"Yeah, no problem." She was about to turn away when a worker came running up to her.
"Are you alright ma'am?" He asked. She nodded.
"Yeah, a guy pushed me out of the way." She told him.
"Okay well when you check out I'll come find you and you can get your things for free, and I assure you this won't happen again." He said.
"Well thank you." He left her and she continued shopping. Sure enough when she was going to the check out, he was there waiting and explained to the cashier about what had happened. She drove home still completely confused about what had happened back at the store. When she got home she found Austin and Alyssa playing dress up in her room. Alyssa had put eye shadow and bright red lipstick on not only herself, but Austin too, that was a sight Ally couldn't help but laugh at. Austin went across the hall to wipe the make up off.
"Lyssa, daddy's gonna go help mommy cook dinner for Kristen, grandpa, nana, and papa okay?" Austin said. She smiled and nodded. Austin followed Ally down the hall. He put his hands around his waist and brought her to him. She turned around in his hold and kissed him.
"I missed you today." He said. She smiled.
"I missed you too." He held her hand as they walked to the kitchen. They began cooking the hamburger meat and the taco sauce. Ally had a look on her face and Austin knew something was wrong.
"Alls, what's wrong?" He asked her. She looked up.
"Nothing, I'm fine." He rolled his eyes.
"Ally, I know you. I know when something is wrong." He said crossing his arms across his chest and looking at her, waiting patiently. She sighed.
"There was an incident at the store." She said. She looked up to meet confused eyes.
"What happened Ally?" She rolled her eyes.
"It's nothing big. I was just standing there, thinking about all I needed for dinner and one of the shelves came down, it would have hit me, but a guy pushed me out of the way." She explained to them. Austin's eyebrows raised.
"Not a big deal? Come on Alls, that could have crushed you easily. You're really tiny for your age." He said hugging her close. They continued cooking dinner and soon both their parents were there and they all sat down to eat.
"So, what's the occasion?" Lester asked. Everyone nodded their head, wondering the same thing.
"Austin and I have something to tell you." Ally said.
AN: Well, I thought that was a pretty good place to end it. Pretty weird right? A grocery store shelf just randomly falling down? Hmm... oh well you'll find out what happens soon enough :) Hope you all are enjoying(:
