Ally POV

"Whoa," Austin awed in amazement as we walked into Sonic Boom. School ended twenty minutes ago and we immediately came here. Trish and Dez wanted some time alone, so they were off doing something. Probably making out.

"I'm guessing you like it?" I teased, walking behind the counter. He nodded, his eyes scanning the store. I couldn't help but smile at my boyfriend. He looked like a kid in a candy store. It was adorable.

"Well, I have to work, but you can head on up to my practice room." I told him.

"Practice room?" He asked, excitement evident in his voice.

I nodded. "I use that room," I pointed to the room upstairs that said practice room. "To write songs and just relax."

He walked over and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. "Well, I can't wait to see it," He kissed my cheek. "But I'd rather be down here with you. I'm only here for a few days."

"Don't remind me." I groaned, resting my head on his shoulder. "I wish you were here longer."

"Hey, if I remember, you didn't want me here in the first place." He joked, earning a nudge in his stomach.

"I know what I said, but I'm really happy you're here." I turned around and wrapped my arms around his torso, burying my face in his chest. "I thought I was going to have a breakdown before."

He stayed quiet and rubbed comforting circles on my back. We stayed in this position for a few moments until he spoke up.

"I'm sorry."

I leaned back and looked up at him, a confusing look on my face. "What? Why are you sorry?"

He shrugged. "I just can't stand seeing you like this. You've got all this shit going on and I can't be there for you."

"Austin, you're here now, alright?" I told him. "Besides, if I need you, you're just a phone call away."

"Yeah, but it's not the same. Seeing you upset just makes me want to hold you and cuddle."

I giggled. "You really love cuddling, don't you?"

He smiled and nodded. "You know it." He pecked my forehead. "Now get working. You have a customer." I turned around to see a woman walk in.

Throughout my shift, Austin would poke my side or do something to cause me to laugh, and it was definitely lifting my mood. Sure, I would have loved it if he didn't do it while I was helping customers, but there was a part of me that didn't care. These past couple of days had been hell, and Austin just made me forget about the drama. He was definitely something special.

"And I'm officially off the clock." I said as the last customer of the day walked out. I flipped over the sign from 'open' to 'closed.'

"Good." Austin walked up to me and draped an arm over my shoulder. "So, how about I take you out for dinner?"

"Sure." I smiled and kissed his cheek. "Let me just text my dad and tell him we're not coming home yet." He nodded and I sent a quick text to my dad letting him know the plan. He was fine with it.

"So, I have no clue where to take you since I don't live here." Austin said as we started walking through the mall. His hand was laced with mine.

"Um, we could go to The Melody Diner." I suggested.

"Do they have pancakes?" He asked, a childish grin on his face.

I laughed and nodded. "I love you, but you're a child."

"I'm gonna ignore the child part and focus on the 'I love you' part."

"Whatever floats your boat." I shrugged and led him to the diner.

Walking into the diner, we were seated almost immediately. Since Austin already knew what he wanted, he didn't even look at the menu. I, on the other hand didn't know what I wanted. But after scanning the menu for a few seconds, I decided on a burger with fries and a coke.

"Hi, I'm Brooke and I'll be your waitress." The high pitched voice of a teenager broke the comfortable silence. I looked at her and immediately wanted to run and hide. She was friends with Dallas. When Dallas and I were together, we actually got along. Not so much anymore.

As Brooke's eyes met mine, she smirked. "Hello, Ally."

"Hi, Brooke." I mumbled.

Austin looked at me weirdly. "You two know each other?" He asked.

We both nodded. "I'm a friend of her ex-boyfriend." Brooke replied. "I still can't believe you cheated on him." She scowled at me.

I was about to say something, but Austin cut me off. "Okay, Brooke, I don't know you, but you should know that Dallas lied to you. Ally didn't cheat on him."

"Oh, really? Care to explain how you know this?" She crossed her arms over her chest.

"Because I saw Dallas kiss another girl." He said. "Oh, and that other girl was my girlfriend at the time."

Brooke gaped at him. "Are you trying to tell me that Dallas lied to me? To all of us?"

"Yup. So maybe you should talk to Dallas and ask him why he lied." Austin told her.

Brooke slowly nodded before turning to me. "I'm sorry, Ally. I should have known that Dallas was lying. Dallas and I may be friends, but I know that you would never cheat on him."

I nodded, a bit in shock. "Thanks. Do you mind telling the entire school that?" I chuckled, letting her know that I was kidding.

"Oh, believe me, I will. Dallas will also get a piece of my mind."

"Brooke, I was kidding. You don't have to." I assured her.

"Ally, you're getting bad mouthed because of Dallas. He's the cheater, not you." She said.

I gave a small smile. "Well, thanks."

"Anytime. Now, what can I get you?"

After telling her what we wanted, she walked away and placed our orders. I turned to Austin, shock written on my face.

"What?" He asked, amusement evident in his voice.

"Did that seriously just happen?"

He nodded. "I'm glad that those rumors will end."

"Well, if it weren't for you, the rumors would still be spreading." I smiled. "So thanks."

"You know I'd do anything for you." He grabbed my hand from across the table and ran his thumb over my knuckles. "And if I see Dallas, I'm gonna kick his ass."

I shook my head. "Please don't. I don't want you fighting anyone."

"Als, he deserves it. He's an ass."

"That may be true, but I just don't want you getting hurt." I told him. "Besides, I'm pretty sure Brooke will take care of him."

"Really? She looks too weak." He whispered the last part, hoping Brooke wouldn't hear.

I giggled. "Trust me, she's not. If you get her really mad, you'll regret it."

When Brooke returned with our food, we thanked her and dug in. The Melody Diner had the best burgers, so I was on Cloud 9. Apparently Austin was to because he was making all these noises as he ate.

"Holy crap, that was so good." Austin said, leaning back in his seat a little.

I nodded in agreement. "I'm so full. You might have to carry me home."

He gave me a look. "I can barely move, and you expect me to carry you? Hell no."

"Hell yes."

"Fuck no."

"Austin!" I shrieked. "Language!"

He rolled his eyes and asked for the check. Since he paid the bill, I wanted to leave the tip. He didn't let me. Typical Austin move. Once we were out of the diner, we made our way back to my car since I drove us here.

"Thanks for dinner." I smiled as I pulled out of the parking lot.

"You're welcome." He grabbed my hand, intertwined our fingers, and rested them in his lap. We drove in silence as he played with my fingers.

When we arrived at my house, we quietly walked inside just in case my dad or Dez were sleeping. It was ten at night since my shift ended at eight-thirty and we were at the diner for a while. Walking up the stairs, I noticed that my dad's door was closed, meaning he was asleep. The guestroom door was opened and the light was on, meaning that Dez was awake.

"I'm gonna go change into my sweats and I'll be right back." Austin said before entering the guestroom.

I decided to skip taking a shower and just change into my pajamas. I would just take a shower in the morning. I quickly changed into a pair of shorts and a cami before entering the bathroom to brush my teeth and remove my makeup. I threw my hair into a messy bun and collapsed onto my bed.

My door quietly opened and in came my boyfriend. He closed the door and shut the light before crawling under the covers. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer.

"I take it you're staying the night?" I teased.

He nodded and kissed my neck. "I need to be with you as much as possible before going back to New York."

I snuggled up closer to him and threw my arm over his stomach. "You're lucky my dad loves you, or else you wouldn't be allowed to stay here."

"Even if he hated me, I would still stay here." He reached under my cami and rested his hand on my lower back.

"What are you gonna do tomorrow while I'm at school?"

"Probably just hangout here. Dez brought his laptop, so we'll probably play some games."

"Just use my X-box that's in the living room. I'm pretty sure I have some games that you guys will enjoy." I told him.

"You have an X-box?" He asked, shocked. "Since when do you play video games."

I shrugged. "I got into them a few years ago, but I only play once in a while. I don't want to become an addict like you."

"I'm not an addict." He argued.

"Yeah, and I don't breathe."

Suddenly, I was pinned down, my hands above my head. Austin laced our fingers together and rested his forehead against mine.

"Take it back." He whispered, his lips ghosting over mine.

I shook my head, not able to trust my words. "Take it back." He repeated, a smirk on his face.

I shook my head again. "Then you leave me no choice." He said before crashing his lips onto mine. I couldn't suppress the small moan that escaped my mouth, but I think that gave Austin a boost of confidence. I wrapped my legs around his waist, bringing him closer. My chest was pressed against his chest, and I couldn't help but blush.

"I love you." He mumbled against my lips. "I love you so damn much."

I wasn't able to say it back because if I did, I was pretty sure that it would just come out as a moan. I didn't want to wake my father up. That would just be awkward.

Austin's lips moved towards my neck and he started leaving open mouthed kisses. I bit my lip as he started sucking, definitely leaving a hickey. I would kill him later. He moved from my neck, to my jaw, to finally reaching my lips again. He gave me one last kiss that was so gentle and passionate before pulling away. He kissed my forehead before rolling off me.

"I love you." I whispered, resting my head on his chest. "I've never loved someone as much as I love you."

He kissed my temple and brought me closer. "And I've never loved someone as much as I love you."

Silence fell over us before Austin spoke up. "Do you ever think about our future?"

I rested my chin on his chest so I was looking up at him. "Yeah," I admitted quietly. "Do you?"

He nodded. "I think about us getting married and having kids." He brushed his fingers across my cheek. "I know we're young, but I know that you're the one I want to be with for the rest of my life."

I smiled softly. "And you're the one that I want to be with for the rest of my life." I rested my head back on his chest and closed my eyes, letting his heartbeat soothe me.

After a few minutes, I heard Austin's even breathing and I knew he was asleep. I followed suit and fell into a peaceful sleep.

Okay, this was definitely a filler, but we got to see the Dallas problem get resolved. And I know there was a lot of Auslly fluff, but I thought you guys deserved some. Do you think we can get 15 reviews for this chapter? Thanks for reading and I love you guys!
