Love is a Four Letter Word Chapter 4, an austin & ally fanfic

I do not own Austin and Ally or any music that may be portrayed in this Fanfiction.

My friends little brother just left for boot camp and she is heartbroken. I'm heartbroken for her. So this chapter is for her because sometimes siblings is all you need to survive in life, and when they leave you're lost. I hope you don't mind the lack of Auslly, I made sure to add more… But I needed a sibling chapter for Jocelyn.

This chapter is dedicated to Jocey…

Love is a Four Letter Word…

Austin was awoken by the smell of pancakes and bacon. Today was Friday and his parents are at work. He shook his head as made his way down the stairs to see his sister in the kitchen. "Aren't you supposed to be in bed while I make breakfast?" Emma turned to her brother before laughing loudly. "You cook? Am I supposed to starve on my birthday?" Austin felt himself frown as he walked over to Em. His ears were filled with her squeal as he picked her up and spun her around. She smiled as he set her down and helped her set the table.

"Hey Austin, what are we doing today?" Austin smirked as plans came through his mind. He looked at her emotionlessly and spoke. "What's so special about today?" Emma just gawked at him before he exploded in laughter. She was angry to say the least, so she ran up the stairs with no plans of coming down. She was trying not to cry when she heard the soft knock on her door. "Go away!" Austin chuckled as he walked in her room anyways. Emmaline would never admit it, but when he came in a small smile crept onto her face. "Happy birthday Emmaline, open your present." She turned around and saw the big box with a big bow on it. She looked at Austin hesitantly before gently unwrapping. She was shocked to see the little puppy yelping loudly to get out of the dreadful box. Austin smirked as she looked up to him with tear filled eyes. He went through hell with his parents to get permission to get her that little Pomeranian but the smile on Emmalines face told him it was all worth it. "Is it a Zeus or Lucy?" Austin smiled as he whispered "Zeus." Austin laughed of pure joy at the sight of his sister. "Go get dressed and we will go to buy some stuff for Zeus."

Once they entered the store with Zeus firmly in Emma's arms her eyes lit up. While Austin pushed the cart Emma gazed at all of the dog items. Her eyes lit up at a cute little zebra print dog bed Austin began to place in the cart. "Do you not like it?" She shook her head and Austin frowned. "I love it."

Austin looked around Em's room. A little dog bed was strategically placed by her bed, a harness and leash hanging by the door, puppy pads all over the floor, cute outfits that Austin absolutely hates, and doggy treats to help train Zeus. Austin knew this cost a lot of money, and he will probably be broke for awhile, but the smile on Emmaline's face made everything worth it. "Hey Em, I'm going out, we have plans in two hours so be ready!" Em looked at him and frowned. Austin then pulled out a new dress; it was about knee length, blue and covered in vibrant purple flowers. She set Zeus down and promptly jumped into Austin's arms. "Thank you Austin!"

"Hey Austin!" Dez said as he opened the door to Sonic Boom and Austin walked in. "What's up Dez?" He spoke as his eyes trained in on the brunette in a blue and white ombre silk blouse, ripped white skinny jeans, and black peep toe heels. She looked amazing, and sexy. The only word that processed in his head, however, was beautiful. "Earth to Austin!" Dez shouted, causing the girls to look up. Austin's eyes automatically went to the floor, finding the different wood patterns so interesting. The next thing he saw was the black heel he was previously ogling as Ally walked up. "Hey Austin, how did Em like the puppy?" Austin was glad for the subject so he could calm himself as he thought of little Zeus. "She absolutely loves him." Ally smiled and walked out the door, purposefully swaying her hips excessively for the wondering eyes of Austin. She continued this all the way to his car while Trish and Dez argued in front of them.

"Austin!" Emmaline ran over to her brother in her new dress and black flats. She carried a small black handbag; the same one Ally had been looking at the previous day. He looked at her curiously while Ally just shrugged. "Where are we going exactly?" Austin smirked as he simply turned and headed to the car. He looked at Emmaline curiously when she took the backseat with Dez and Trish but she brushed him off. "I want to talk to Trish about those adorable print skinnies." Austin just shook his head. What happened to his tomboy little sister?

Once they pulled up to Ale House Emma jumped out of the car and ran to the door. Austin couldn't help but laugh at Emma's enthusiasm for pool.

"Okay, since I'm the birthday girl I want to tag team. It'll be us girls against the boys." Austin frowned and Dez jumped. "Trish sucks at pool!" He exclaimed. Emma smirked when Austin whispered "Be prepared to lose."

Dez was astonished to find out that Ally could kick ass at pool. It was the only thing she wouldn't be to clumsy to do. Austin and Dez were great too, but Emmaline was a pro. Even though she is only 8 and only half of Ally's height (not in heels) she could get multiple balls in a turn. When the guys had lost, which meant they had to buy dessert, they all got in the car and headed to Emmaline's favorite frozen yogurt place. Austin paid for himself, Emma, and Ally while Dez paid for him and Trish. "Crap we're gonna be late!" Trish whispered to Ally. It was 6:45 pm, and they had to be at the Karaoke bar at 7. Trish grabbed Dez by the ear and ran out while Austin and Ally chuckled. Emma skipped to the car in between the two couples. "You're really sweet, you know that Austin?" He smirked and, in a rush of confidence, winked at Ally as he opened her car door. They drove in silence to their final destination of the night.

They all hung out and talked while they watched people perform songs. Some were amateur, but some really caused their jaws to drop. "Austin!" He cringed at his name but turned to see Brooke walking up to him in a skimpy black dress. He wrinkled his nose in disgust. He couldn't help but think that Ally would never wear anything like that in public, and then he couldn't stop thinking about Ally in a dress like that with him. "I'm so glad you decided to ditch your sister and join…" She was interrupted by a small cough. "Said sister is sitting right here." Emmaline spoke up. She stood up and walked to her brother. "Also, he is obviously not interested in a girl that would reveal so much to every guy around her." She finished as she looked the girl up and down. Austin couldn't help but feel proud of his little sister. She was so outgoing, and she knew how to respect herself. Brooke was about to say something before Ally, Dez, Trish, and Austin stood in front of Emma. "I'd watch what you say in front of my little sister."

Austin got up and walked to the stage. No one knew the song he was going to sing as he whispered it to the DJ. "This goes out to my one and only, she's my beautiful best friend. Get up her Emmaline!" Emmaline wasn't oblivious to Brooke standing at the beginning of Austin's introduction. She noticed how embarrassed she looked when he said Emma's name, and for a moment she felt bad for her. She didn't have a big brother like Austin to teach her the self respect and love that both of their parents had failed to teach. Her thoughts were brought elsewhere as her brother kneeled in front of her. "Happy birthday Emmaline."

You were a business, I was a start up
You were like high speed, I was on dial up
I needed caffeine, you were a Starbucks
A Starbucks
(A double-shot)

You were a record, I was a remix
You were the sunshine, I was a rain check
You needed time but you were my Rolex
My Rolex (my Rollie)

I couldn't get it right
'Til you opened up my eyes
You turn my whole world upside down (two, three, four)

Things are lookin' up
Things are lookin' up
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us
Things are lookin' up
Even when I'm down
Had about enough
Lookin' at the ground
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us
Things are lookin' up

You were a diamond, I was a coal mine
You were a free-way, I was a stop sign
I was a pay check, you're like a gold mine, a gold mine (money, money)

I couldn't get it right
'Til you opened up my eyes
You turned my whole world upside down (two, three, four)

[2x]
I've been up and I've been down
Girl you make my world go 'round
There's nothin' like the high I found
Things are lookin' up
Things are lookin' up

The crowd applauded wildly as Austin scooped his little sister into a big hug. Emma giggled as Austin spun her around on stage. Then she got a devious grin that caused Austin to take a step back. He knew that look meant trouble. Emmaline ran down to Ally and he knew her plan. Before he could stop her Ally was walking towards him. She spoke softly. "I couldn't say no. Could you sing with me?" Austin smiled and grabbed her hand. "Of course, what do you want to sing?" Ally looked up into his hazel eyes before speaking. "Well…"

[Ally:]
When you're on your own
Drowning alone
And you need a rope that can pull you in
Someone will throw it

[Austin:]
And when you're afraid
That you're gonna break
And you need a way to feel strong again
Someone will know it

[Austin & Ally:]
And even when it hurts the most
Try to have a little hope
That someone's gonna be there when you don't
When you don't

If you wanna cry, I'll be your shoulder
If you wanna laugh, I'll be your smile
If you wanna fly, I will be your sky
Anything you need that's what I'll be
You can come to me

[Ally:]
You struggle inside
Losing your mind
Fighting and trying to be yourself
When somebody lets you

[Austin:]
Out in the cold
But no where to go
Feeling like no one could understand
Then somebody gets you

[Austin & Ally:]
So take a breath and let it go
And try to have a little hope
'Cause someone's gonna be there when you don't
When you don't

If you wanna cry, I'll be your shoulder
If you wanna laugh, I'll be your smile
If you wanna fly, I will be your sky
Anything you need, that's what I'll be
You can come to me

[Ally:]
Like a chain that never breaks
Like a truth that never bends
Like a glue that takes a broken heart and puts it back again
It's the feeling that you get
It's the moment that you know
That no matter what the future holds
You'll never be alone

[Austin & Ally:]
If you wanna cry, I'll be your shoulder
If you wanna laugh, I'll be your smile
If you wanna fly, I will be your sky
Anything you need, that's what I'll be
If you wanna climb, I'll be your ladder
If you wanna run, I'll be your road
If you want a friend, doesn't matter when
Anything you need, that's what I'll be
You can come to me

[Ally:]
You can come to me,
Yeah

Austin hugged Ally while whispering in her ear. "You're amazing, you know that Ally?" She smiled as they pulled away. Trish pulled her into a hug. "Ally, you sang in front of the crowd! I'm so proud of you." Austin tapped Ally's shoulder and as she looked up she saw the standing ovation they had received. Austin noticed the small yawn that came from Em. "Are you ready to go home?" She nodded and leaned on her brother.

"Hey Ally, do you mind if I take Emma home first?" Ally looked in the almost empty backseat. Emmaline was curled up in Austin's sweater. "That's fine." As they drove they sang quietly to the music on the radio. Austin couldn't deny the feelings that stirred every time her angelic voice sang. "Do you want to come inside?" Ally smiled and nodded. Austin carried Emma inside, leaving Ally in the living room as he brought Em to her bed.

Austin came back to the living room looking very upset. "What is it Austin?" He looked up to Ally, those chocolate brown eyes slowly stealing her heart. "My parents aren't here. I can't let you walk home, but I can't leave Emma here alone. Can you ask your dad if you can stay here until they get home?" Ally looked at him, a little shocked that he cared that much about her, but even more proud that he takes such good care of his sister. It was only about 9pm, and she didn't have to be home for another 2 hours anyways. She didn't feel like answering her dad's questions just yet, so she was perfectly fine with this arrangement. Her dad was fine with this as long as Austin took her home. He knew how pretty his daughter was and there was no way he would allow her to walk home.

Austin and Ally talked for awhile, but eventually they began to get tired. Austin suggested they watched a movie for a while. Slowly Allys head began to droop, and Austin noticed immediately. He slowly scooped Ally into his arms, surprised to see how light she was, and brought her to his room. He carefully placed her in the bed and covered her up. He couldn't help the subconscious movement of kissing her forehead. "Goodnight Ally." He was about to shut the door before he heard her murmur. "Goodnight Austin."

Austin curled up on the couch with a small throw blanket after writing a note for his parents.

Ally is in my bed, I brought Emmaline home because she fell asleep in the car. I realized you guys weren't home and I couldn't leave Em. We tried to stay up and wait, but we couldn't. If you're mad let me take Ally home before you yell at me. Love you guys, Austin.
