Hey wonderful people! I'm in a very good mood so I am going to make an extra long chapter for all of ya.
Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally – no matter how bad I want to. Anyway back to the story...
At Ally's House – Ally's POV
Something has been bugging me ever since I came home from school. Why wasn't Austin mean to me today? Why did Austin freeze as soon as Dallas mentioned my parents? Why are his eyes so dreamy? Do I have a crush on Austin? How can I have a crush on someone I despise?
Looks like someone has a crush on Austin Moon.
Yeah, that's what I just said.
So what are you gonna do?
I-I-I dunno. I need to know what is up with Austin. I feel like I am supposed to remember something from some years ago but I just can't put my fingers on it...
Um Ally. I know you don't like looking in your photo album but I think that there might be a clue in there. Just trust me on this.
I got up, walked into the living room, and searched for the photo album. Honestly, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack – impossible. Eventually, I uncovered a scrapbook called 'Auslly Forever'. Auslly – what is that? As I opened the first page, I got a real surprise. 'Austin Monica Moon and Allison Marie Dawson' was written underneath a picture of the two of us hugging in the park. It looked like I was in tears and he was comforting me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Austin and I used to be best friends?
I flicked through the pages until one picture caught my eye. 6 – year old Austin was lying on a hospital bed crying his eyes out and so was I. Suddenly, I remembered my secret...
Flashback – 6-year old Ally
Ally's POV
"Auntie, when is Austin going to get here? I wanna play with him. I wuv him. He is my bestest friend. I need him," I asked.
"Aww how sweet. Austin and his parents should be here any minute," replied Auntie.
Just then, the house phone started ringing...
Auntie's face went pale and I started to worry.
"Auntie, what is going on?" I said.
"Ally honey, we need to go to the hospital," Auntie commanded.
At the hospital
I saw mummy and daddy lying on hospital beds. I don't understand what is going on.
"Mummy? Daddy? Why are we here?" I asked extremely worried.
"I'm very sorry to tell you that they are in comas due to a terrible accident. Patricia can you come with me please I need to tell you something very important," said the doctor obviously not wanting me to hear whatever he was going to say next. My auntie walked out of the room and into the corridor with the doctor. I could hear every word that they said, "Mr & Mrs Dawson were in a car accident. They have very little time left to live. A drunk driver crashed into your car and another car. I was told that you know Mr & Mrs Moon?" my auntie just nodded, "They died on impact along with Austin's siblings but Austin survived. He is also in this hospital; he had a bad fall."
I instantly started to cry; my parents are going to die and Austin's parents died. Just then, both heart monitors were beeping and a straight line appeared. Then it hit me; Austin and I are orphans.
I want to go and see Austin. I need to be strong; I don't want him to know I was crying because it would make him even more upset.
"Auntie I wanna go and see Austin," I said.
"Come on then, Ally."
At Austin's ward
Austin was peacefully sleeping but I wanted to talk to him sooooooo bad. I couldn't live without my best friend.
"Austin? Wake up! I wanna pway wiv you. I wuv you!" I exclaimed.
"Allison? Where am I?" asked Austin.
"You're in a hospital," replied the doctor that just walked into the room, "You've had a bad fall but you should be alright in a few days."
I squeezed Austin's hand to remind him that everything will be alright.
"But I am extremely sorry to tell you that your family didn't survive. Your parents and your siblings have gone to a better place..."
I felt so bad for Austin because he cried non-stop for weeks and weeks, he got teased when he went back to school and he had to move into an orphanage.
End of flashback
Oh. My. Daze. Now I know why Austin wasn't mean to me today. I bet he knows about my family and how we used to be best friends. I feel so bad for him and I bet he feels the same for me too.
Austin's POV – Austin's House
I just realised that Ally and I used to be best friends. I feel so bad for her and I bet she feels the same for me too.
