A/N: This is the shortest chapter I've done, I just think this chapter is like a tiny filler for the next ones. I hope you enjoy the Ausilly and Dally. Also, Trish is a little OOC, but she gets back into character. She turns into a nice person, usually Trish isn't nice. Anyways, enjoy the chapter.
CHAPTER THREE: I DON'T WANT YOU & HIM
And so the thought came across my mind, what do I do to get Ally?
I don't want to ruin my friendship with Austin, but crushing on her is already ruining it. If I told Austin what I felt for Ally, he would lie about his feelings. Why? Because when my best friend gives that girl a smile, I know. I know that he's secretly skipping a beat when she mentions his name. I know that he's scared about losing her to Dallas, and that everything he said was a lie. He does want Ally in his arms; I know that one day Austin will fight for her. But if I tell Austin, there is no chance he will ever be happy. He will sacrifice everything for me, because he's my best friend and he's that one friend that would give up love for a friend.
And I don't want Austin to lose Ally. But, I don't want to lose Ally. Ugh.
"Hey, uh, Dez?" Austin waved his hand in my face, "come back to the real world."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," I sighed, "unfortunately I must return to the real world."
Austin lightly laughed along with me, only he gets my humor, that's exactly what I would lose if I choose Ally. I'd lose someone who knows me so well.
"What were you thinking about?" Austin asked, and I knew Austin would found out. He knows whenever I'm lying, and I could be trying as hard as possible. But Austin has skills when it comes to me and lying. So, I kept my mouth shut and decided to just pretend that he didn't ask me anything. "Come on, Dez, tell me." He whined, and began to start jumping like he was going to have a tantrum. "Deez, Deeez!" Austin continued to whine.
"I was…thinking about," I looked at my bag in hopes of an idea, "the assignment we have tonight." Gee, Dez, you're so smart.
"Yeah, and I like vegetables," he laughed, "come on, Dez, tell me." I knew he wouldn't take it that easy, Austin knows me, he practically knows when I'm crushing on someone. I'm surprised he hasn't found out about me and this Ally thing.
"I was, uh, thinking about," I took a look at Austin and immediately thought of something. "Your mom and her luscious hair, yep, she's gorgeous."
"Er, okay, Dez, that's weird." He started, and then instantly backed a few steps away. "I thought you got over that crush."
"It all comes back to me in the rarest of moments," I held my hand up to my chest, "her eyes are beautiful." I think I was just having fun with creeping Austin out. I mean, who doesn't like to see most of his expressions, especially his 'disgusted' expression.
"Dez, let's forget we had the conversation."
"What conversation?" Ally asked, popping into the discussion about Austin's mom. I bet if I told her what I was talking about, she'd get crept out as well, and I love to see people crept out. I felt like I was enjoying something that shouldn't be enjoyed. Austin slightly turned his head to her, and began to mouth 'no'.
"The conversation about Austin's mom, and her luscious hair." Ally's expression changed, and her 'crept out' face came on. As soon as she changed her expression so did mine, I was smiling and crossing my arms. "I just always thought maybe one day, Austin's mom would be mine."
"You do realize that's Austin's mom? As in held him in his womb?" Ally reminded me, and ultimately I didn't have a crush on his mom. I had a crush on Ally, but if I told Austin the truth, everything would be ruined. So I went along with the crush thing, and I ultimately enjoyed every minute of it. I didn't actually think this would so much fun. The only problem was, maybe it wasn't a good thing to creep Ally out?
"Can't a guy just dream?" I yelled, as Ally rolled her eyes and turned to Austin to tell him something.
"So, I was thinking," she started, and I knew this was going in the wrong direction, "my dad is taking care of the shop today, so I have time to-"
"Oh, you want to go to the movies with us? Sweet, Ally." I said, and I have no idea what got over me. I mean, like, I've never, ever, done something like that out of jealousy before. Austin turned to me, like he really wanted to go alone, but also didn't want to exclude me. And in the moment, I felt awful and I actually couldn't believe I did that. "I mean, if you want to."
"Yeah, you can come." Ally choked, she sounded mad, like if in reality, she couldn't stand me being there. I felt a small amount of guilt build on me, but I just couldn't help hating them alone together either. "Uh, what do you want to see guys?" She made it clear that she didn't want me there, after chuckling and extending the 'guys' in her sentence.
"Zombies 3!" We yelled in unison, Ally's face fell, I guess that's why she only wanted to go with Austin. If I didn't go, they would have watched a cute movie and end up holding hands. I can't let that happen- I mean, yeah, I ruined everything. I regained my composure and smiled, "or we could watch Silly Me? I know you've wanted to watch it for days now, so..?" Ally's face brightened, and she began to giggle. She turned to Austin to see if he would approve.
"Fine, Silly Me it is..." he groaned.
"I have to admit that movie was," Austin turned to look at Ally, "good." He gave her a light smile, and continued to walk ahead with her.
I for one was walking in the back with the popcorn leftovers and soda too. Despite me being there, the two continued to share glances and smirks, it sucked being there, then it actually was to not be. I grumbled lightly, which I've never done for a girl before. I just hated it, Austin and Ally were all over each other and just being so in love. Meanwhile, I was just here in the back, alone. I hate feeling this way, it's just wrong.
"Hey, Dez, did you like it?" Ally asked, turning to give me a smile. I loved seeing her smile, it always managed to turn my day better.
"It was good," I said, "although I thought Laura was going to end up with Benny." I said, Ally ran over to me and we quickly began a conversation about the movie. She had all the same ideas I did, and the only reason I knew so much, was because I wasn't talking during the movie like Austin. I actually pay attention- I mean, yeah, Austin pays loads of attention, it's just that he likes Ally so much, he was looking at her.
After a short walk, we arrived at the Sonic Boom. Ally and I were talking the whole entire way there, while Austin had his head down like I did. I immediately stopped talking to Ally, and walked back to Austin. "So, want to watch Zombies 3, next weekend?" I asked, Austin lifted his head and laughed.
"Yes! More smashing, more trashing, and more slashing!" Austin said; we both mimicked each other's actions. As if we knew what we each of us were going to do.
Ally just laughed, "Since we saw my movie this weekend, maybe we can see it together, Austin." From that moment on, I felt a slight push on my chest, and I knew it was jealousy.
"Cool, I hope you guys like it." I lied, and slightly pushed Ally out of the way. I didn't mean to, but she was just ruining everything between me and Austin. I never have this type of envy over Austin, and I never get this mad. She was just transforming me into this monster, because normal humans don't envy others this much. I quickly entered the Sonic Boom, and sat on the stairwell, like I always do when I'm mad. I don't like her and him, and I wish I could tell her. I don't want you and him, I want us.
"Hey, freckle face." Trish said, approaching me with another uniform.
"Do you have a closet with uniforms in it, or do you recycle them?" I said, staring at her new carrot outfit. It was a uniform for the Fresh Market store, all the vegetarians shop there. I mean, there is meat, but it's all organic, which I heard means 'made out of vegetables'.
"I recycle them," she titled her head in a smile, "anyways, where's Ally? I have this amazing idea for props for the next video."
"Out with Austin," I said, as my face formed a small pout.
"Oh and why are you here?" She asked, sitting on the other side of the stairwell.
"Because I wasn't invited."
"Oh, the third wheel problem," she said, getting up from her position, "I'm pretty sure Ally likes you just as much as Austin." No, no she doesn't, she never glances at me or smiles at me. It's always Austin, he always gets her attention, and I don't know why. If I could be Austin for a day I would, just to receive one of her smiles, just to be in one of her hugs.
"No, she doesn't. She doesn't ever notice me when he's around, it's awkward. I just wish I could be the one that makes Ally smile- er, I mean-"
"I know what you mean," Trish said, "and Ally does laugh when you say something, and she always talks about you whenever she's sad. It's like you make her happy again, I mean, she remembers something silly you did, and in the next minute, she's laughing."
"Wait, what do you think I mean?"
"You wish Ally would find you likable, and she does, no one hates you, Dez. Well, I do, but it's a frenemy thing we have going." She smiles, and pats me on the shoulder.
"Oh, okay, thanks." I said, and gave Trish a smile. What Trish said actually made me feel better, knowing that Ally talks about me too, that she remembers me whenever she's sad. The feeling against my chest elevated and went away. I didn't feel jealous anymore, knowing that I have made Ally smile, is good enough for me.
Afterwards when Trish left, Ally and Austin came into the store hours after I did; turns out they went to out to eat. That's supposed to be us.
"Hey, Dez," Ally said, "I knew you liked pizza so I brought some." She approached me, as I lifted my head up and smiled. Ally extended her hand and returned one of my own smiles. Again, butterflies fluttered, and I felt dizzy again. Austin never makes me feel like this, and he never will; it would be awkward if he did. I grabbed the box wrapped around with a plastic bag, and opened it. Pizza with…mushrooms?
"Ally, this is so cool. I can't believe you actually bought me a pizza," I said, with a bit of too much excitement.
"How can I forget to buy you something, you're Dez." She said, moving a little to the left, then going up the stairwell with Austin. Before I knew it, I realized I just made a decision, I think I already picked someone. I think I now know who I choose, and I guess I choose….
Ally.
A/N: I hope you liked this chapter. It was actually real hard to decide who to pick, I love Austin, but I also think Dez should become mature and realize that he might lose the girl. Review what you think about this chapter, and some constructive criticism.
