Okay so this is the last chapter. It's kinda short, but I just wanted to finalize the ending a little more. I could make a sequel possibly if you guys think I should. Read and review!
AUSTIN'S POV:
I finally pulled away from the kiss. I was just coming back to my senses when I suddenly got really nervous. Did I just jeopardize everything? What if she doesn't like me like that? Well, I don't think she would have kissed back if she didn't.
I looked down at her and she smiled. I loved that smile. It lit up a room. It lit up my heart. I tried to smile back, but I was lost in my nervous thoughts.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, I just hope I didn't ruin everything. Because you're my best friend and I couldn't be here without you. So can we still just be best friends? I loved it when we were best friends and I couldn't live with the fact that I messed that up." I said rambling nervously.
"Yes, we will always be best friends. No matter what. I couldn't imagine my life without you either. Actually, I'd be dead if it wasn't for you." She joked.
"If it wasn't for me, you never would have went up there in the first place." I told her.
"Yeah, and if it wasn't for you, I never would've learned to have fun and live life to the fullest." She replied.
"Okay,...wait. Where are Trish and Dez? I completely forgot about them. It's already dark outside." I said remembering them.
"Oh yeah, I have no idea." She said. We walked back up to the blanket to find all of their stuff gone. All that was left was Dez' sand castle. There was a note wrapped around a stick in the castle. I opened it up and read it aloud:
"Dear Austin and Ally. You guys pretty much ditched us to go have fun on your own. Thanks a lot. But it's okay, we understand :) After it started getting dark we packed up our stuff and went home. Hope you guys have fun, we are planning on meeting together for lunch tomorrow if you're interested. Love- Trish and Dez." I read. I wondered what he meant when they wrote we understand with a smiley face.
"Well I guess we better get going too. It is pretty late, and I think I have sunburn." said Ally. We walked home talking about our crazy day. As we were walking I took her hand in mine and entwined our fingers. I loved having her hands touch mine. I remember when we were writing our first song and our hands touched for the first time on the piano. That was the first spark that I'd ever had with any girl. It happened one other time after the whole jealousy with Elliot. We almost kissed that day, but Dez barged in the room and broke it up. Stupid Dez, I thought. But we forgot about it so things wouldn't be awkward. I could tell you every single time that our hands have touched. I remember each and every time. Dancing, bungee jumping, etc. We got to SonicBoom after a while.
"Thanks for, well, ya know." She said.
"I know, you're welcome." I told her.
We stood there awkwardly for a couple seconds and I told her that I'd see her tomorrow when we met up for lunch. She agreed and locked up. I went home thinking of her. I never thought my first love would be my best friend. I never thought my best friend would be Ally Dawson. To anyone else, she is nerdy, self-conscious, and a goody two shoes. But to me, she's amazing. She is the friendliest, most caring, down to earth girl I've ever met. I went to sleep dreaming of her.
I woke up the next day to the sound of my phone ringing. Dez. I answered sleepily.
"What do you want Dez? It's like seven in the morning."
"Well, actually it's a little after noon. And I thought you were coming to lunch. Me Trish and Ally have been here for like twenty minutes." He said.
"Ah man! I totally forgot. Sorry. I'll be there in like ten minutes. Bye." I hung up. I jumped in the shower really quick then got dressed and hopped out the window to the food court. I sat in the empty seat between Ally and Dez. We talked and Dez told us about his trip and Trish explained her new job.
We sat in silence and Trish and Dez were exchanging strange looks. They finally broke the silence.
"How long is it going to take for you to realize it?!" Trish yelled.
"You guys are oblivious!" Dez yelled.
"What are you talking about?!" I said to Dez.
"You two! You're totally in love with each other! You both know it on the inside but you are oblivious to the others love for you! It's driving us insane! Just admit it!" Dez ranted.
I immediately started blushing and looked down at Ally who was doing the same. She didn't say anything and I didn't know what to say either.
"We know it already anyway! Not to be weird, but when we left the beach, we set up a secret camera on the beach to spy on you guys. We couldn't hear your conversation, but we saw you kiss!" Dez admitted. We sat silently for a minute, but Ally spoke up.
"It was just in the moment. I just died you know, we were just happy that I was I alive. I'm sure Austin didn't mean anything by it, it probably meant nothing, he's probably kissed twenty other girls." Ally said a little sharply. I knew she had to be lying. Nobody kisses back like THAT when you're just 'in the moment'. I had to tell her the truth. I've gone too long keeping my feelings inside.
"Um, no. That's not exactly true. I mean yeah, it was kind of in the moment. And I was happy you were alive. But it meant way more than that to me. And by the way, you're my first kiss." I admitted sheepishly.
"Really? But you've dated so many girls. You never kissed any of them?" She asked.
"Nope. I honestly never even really liked any of them either. The only reason I dated them was to distract myself from you. I knew you would never like me, and it would ruin everything if I did, so I tried to make myself forget about it. But it didn't work. I kept comparing them to you without even knowing it. I wanted you and only you. I always have." I told her.
"Austin, that's so sweet. I can't believe you never said anything, I have felt the same way about you for a while." She said. My heart jumped at the thought of her liking me.
"Really? You like me too?" I asked.
"Yeah" she nodded. I wrapped her up in my arms and gave her a huge bear hug.
When I pulled away and looked into her eyes I impulsively leaned in to kiss her. It was just as good as the first kiss, and I didn't care who was watching.
"IT'S ABOUT TIME!" Trish and Dez yelled at the same time. I just smiled and rolled my eyes, I noticed Ally doing the same thing. We decided to go to the amusement park and spend the day having fun. We all loved roller coasters, even Ally. Only because I showed her how awesome they were My life has been roller coaster. And I never couldn't have ridden a better ride.
What did you think? Like I said, not much happened this chapter I just wanted the ending a little more clear. In the very near future I will be posting the first chapter of my brand new story that I hope you guys will love! Thats all, Review!
