Ally's POV

I wake up to a warm feeling next to me. I reach over to the bed-side table to get my phone to check the time. It's not there so I start to freak up when something next to me moves. I turn around to see Austin still asleep next to me. I don't remember ever going to bed. The last thing I do remember is eating dinner and Austin taking my bowl into the kitchen. He must've carried me upstairs. How sweet of him.

I'm about to get up when I feel a pair of arms around me; Austin's. I turn around to look at him and he's just looking at me. "Morning beautiful. How'd you sleep?" He says in a really tired tone. Did he call me beautiful?

"Yeah not to bad thanks. How about yourself?" I say back to him.

"Pretty good considering you were here." Is that a good thing considering he's my best friend?

"Uhh… thanks, I guess?" I say really confused. We're laying here for a while in complete silence. His arm is still around me. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind but it's kind of strange. I'm starting to get a big hungry and actually am wondering what the time is.

"Austin?" I ask really quietly not wanting to break the silence.

"Mmm." I hear him mumble.

"What time is it?"

He looks at his watch then says "12:30pm"

"What!? 12pm. How'd I sleep in so long? No wonder I'm so hungry." I say jumping out of bed. All I hear is Austin laughing behind me. I turn around and ask "And what's so funny?"

He's still laughing while he answers me "It's actually only 7:30am"

I give him a stern look but I can never stay mad at Austin; he's my best friend for crying out loud! I eventually give up and start laughing with him. "I'm still hungry. What's for breakfast?" I ask all too stupidly because obviously the answer is going to be…

"PANCAKES!" Austin screams at the top of his lounges. How did I know?

"Of course it is" and with that he's out of bed and down the stairs. I follow him down to the kitchen and by the time I get there, I can smell pancakes already cooking.

"Couldn't even wait for me, huh?" I say as I walk over to him.

"Nope. You can cook them if you want though." He says while looking over to me.

"Austin, you know that I can't cook anything. I'll probably burn them."

He finishes cooking the pancake then steps away and motions for me to stand in front of him. I nervously stand in front of the fry-pan. He passes me the pancake mix and I take it from him but he doesn't let go. He stands behind me looking over my shoulder and pours the mixture while I'm holding it. The whole time that I'm cooking the pancakes, he is standing behind me looking over my shoulder helping me.

"See, it isn't that hard, is it?" He asks while walking away with the plate of pancakes that we made.

"I guess not" I say quietly still not believing that Austin's arms were around me for 15 minutes!

After we finish breakfast, I found out that his parents had already left for work so I decide to go upstairs and call Trish. I get my phone out and dial her number knowing that she probably won't even be awake yet. I've got to tell her about everything that has happened in the past day. After what seems like forever, she picks up.

Trish: Hey Ally. What's up?

Ally: Not much. I'm at Austin's house. You?

Trish: Wait, why are you at Austin's house?

Ally: We were having a movie night and after dinner I fell asleep.

Trish: Oh, okay. So, why'd you call?

Ally: I need to tell you something but I wanna tell you in person not over the phone.

Trish: Okay. Come over later then?

Ally: Sure. How's 11am sound?

Trish: Good. I'll see you then. Bye.

Ally: Bye Trish.

And with that I hang up, turn around and Austin's standing in the door way.

"How much of that did you hear?" I ask nervous that he heard the whole conversation.

"Only the part where you're going to Trish's later" He says walking over to me. "I've got to go see Dez later anyway."

"Awesome. It's already 10am so I should get ready." I walk over to my bag to get my clothes out. "Where can I change?"

"Bathroom, down the hall" He says looking through his draws for something to wear.

I go down to the bathroom and am walking back to Austin's room when I hear him talking to somebody. I stand outside the door and listen to what he's saying.

Austin: Listen, Dez, I really like her but I don't know if she likes me or not.

So he's talking to Dez. I can hear everything Dez is saying as well because he's on loud speaker.

Dez: Dude, listen, I get that you like Ally but you've got to tell her soon.

Austin: I know, I know.

Dez: And it'll be better sooner or later. You said that she's at your house now. Right?

Austin: Yeah.

Dez: Then tell her before she leaves.

Austin: Thanks man. She's probably changed by now so I'm gonna go. Later.

Dez: Later.

And with that he hangs and puts his phone down. I wait a minute before walking in and putting my stuff away. I look at my phone and see that it's already 10:45am. I was going to walk but it takes 10 minutes to drive there.

"Hey Austin, would you mind dropping me off at Trish's?" I ask.

"Sure, but first I need to tell you something." He says nervously. Oh boy, I know what this is going to be. I gesture for him to continue. "Okay, well I've got these feelings for a girl but I don't know how she feels about me. Should I tell her or wait for her to say something first?"

"Definitely tell her first. Girls hate making the first move. Practice telling her on me. Even use my name instead of hers if you want to." I say back.

"Okay. Here it goes. Ally, I've liked you for a while now but I didn't know how to tell you. I don't know if you like me the same way but all I wanted you to know is that I like you." He said, not even looking at me.

"That was really good. Maybe when you tell her you should look her in the eyes and try and sound more confident in what you're saying." Why am I helping him with another girl, he just said that he liked me.

"Okay. Here it goes. Ally, I've liked you for a while now but I didn't know how to tell you. I don't know if you like me the same way but all I wanted you to know is that I like you." He says more confidently this time while looking directly at me. I can't help but melt when he said it.

"That's really good now after you drop me off at Trish's, go find that girl and tell her how you feel" I say trying to help him again. I can't even comprehend what he's going to say next…
