Ally's POV
I woke up and realized I had fallen asleep while watching a movie with Austin. Then I realized where I was lying. I slowly sat up shrugging Austin's arm off me. I blushed; we had snuggled together on the couch without realizing. I jumped up calming myself and noting that he hadn't been awake so he wouldn't know. He stirred as cool air hit him and the warmth of my body was gone from him. "Ally, what time is it?" Austin sat up rubbing his eyes. I flipped out my phone "It's ten, oh no!"
Austin jumped off the couch as if there was a fire on it and looked around "What is it?" I shut my phone and hurried to the closet "I told Dallas I'd meet him for coffee and help him apply for a better job than the cellphone cart." I popped out of the closet seconds later changed and hopping around trying to put my shoe on. Austin frowned "I thought we were going to hang out today." I paused thinking "Sure, this afternoon." He gave me a halfhearted smile "Fine, call me when you're done with Dallas and we'll meet up somewhere." I nodded and pinky promised before rushing out the door.
I suddenly ran into Dallas waiting outside and he laughed "I knew you'd be late so I came to get you." I laughed and then heard the door open behind me before I could reply. "I'll see you later, Ally." Austin said and walked off without another word. Dallas looked between us and then shrugged "I see you and Austin had another late night. Anyways, I have the applications." "I'll help you." I took half of the giant stack in his hands and he led the way to the café.
Austin's POV (later that day)
I looked at my watch and sighed annoyed. It was almost dark and she hadn't called. Suddenly my phone went off and I fumbled answering it on the third ring. "Hello, Ally what happened?" I heard her laugh and tell someone goodbye in the background before speaking to me. "Dallas and I finished the applications and had to go around town and put them in. I meant to call you, but he took me to the amusement park. Where are you? I'll be there in a bit." I sat down in the sand "I'm on the beach; I was hoping we could hang out here today."
I heard her moving around "I see you, thank goodness Dallas dropped me off nearby." The phone disconnected and I turned to see Ally coming toward me. I was happy and annoyed. I turned back to the water and saw her sit by me from the corner of my eye. "I really did mean to call you and join you sooner. Austin, you aren't mad, are you?" Ally touched my arm. "We did have a promise." I reminded her. "I know, I haven't broken it as you can see." I dug my hands in the sand "I just thought that you'd call sooner."
Ally sighed "I didn't mean to be with him that long. I'm here now, isn't that what matters?" I shrugged "I guess, I just thought we are best friends and that because we have more history than you do with him you'd wanna hang out as much as I did." She looked at me surprised "I don't remember anything and we just started hanging out! I wish I could remember, but I can't and I don't wanna practice writing songs with you because I don't remember it!" I glared at her "Fine hangout with Dallas, I don't care! I just want the old you back! There is no reason to be angry with me; I should be angry with you! At least I tried to help you; Dallas is rendering my help useless!" Ally got up and grumbled to herself as she threw something at me; which landed by me in the sand. She stomped off fuming and I picked up the object she threw at me.
I instantly felt like a jerk when I realized what it was. It was a little guitar keychain with my initials engraved in it. I mentally kicked myself for being an idot and realized the sun was on the horizon line, a beautiful sunset, one I should've been sharing with Ally. I pulled out my keys attaching my new favorite keychain and got up off the sand brushing myself off. I had to find a way to apologize to Ally, but I was at a loss on how to do it. I really messed up knowing she had been through such a traumatic event and she didn't know me anymore, but I had to put her at ease about it all and really get my feelings across the right way. Then something came to me and I hurried home to my computer.
Okay so a little drama, but I have a big moment for them in the next chapter! I can't give details or I'll give it away so you'll have to wait! :)
