Ally's POV
"Wow that movie was so scary!" I squealed with delight as we began the long walk back home. Horror the Movie was a really great movie, I'm so glad I told Austin about it.
"Hell yeah it was! Man when the girl was walking to her house and that guy followed her all the way home to kill her! That was intense!"
Austin and I began to laugh but it the blink of an eye we stopped. We were walking alone to our homes...at night...on a lonely street. Maybe it was a bad idea to talk about the movie right now.
"Um...it's just a movie...hahahaha...we shouldn't be nervous, right?" Austin turned to look at me and scratched the back of his neck nervously. Honestly, I could feel myself trembling and took out the jacket Austin had let me borrow.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? Psh we shouldn't be scared, you're not scared i'm not scared. It's just a movie anyways, it's not like it was based of a true story or anything..." I started getting nervous and covered my hands with the sleeves of Austin's jacket. I hope it looked like I wasn't scared, then Austin might become even more scared!
"Yeah...totally. Hahahahahah i'm not scared at all!" Austin laughed and so did I
We were both laughing and giggling as we walked, we were almost there when suddenly we heard someone scream. My heart began to beat faster and faster, we turned to look at each other with scared faces. Without saying anything Austin grabbed my wrist and we began to run towards his house.
It had been 15 minutes until we finally reached Austin's house, by now we were inside and resting on his couch, breathing heavily.
"So...sorry...for...surprising you...with...that...run." Austin breathed in between every word, I just nodded in a way that he understood that it was fine. I wanted, no, I needed to tell Austin something but it was quite embarrassing. I was to scared to walk back to my apartment and wanted to ask him if he would mind me staying the night. It was pretty late, 12:00 a.m.
"Austin...can I ask you something?" I began to play around with the rim of the jacket sleeves and looked at my hands. How will he react to that question? Will he think i'm some perv that has different intentions by spending the night? I hope not.
"Uh, yeah."
"Can I..stay the night? It's just i'm really scared to walk back to my apartment building and..." Austin cut me off. " Yeah, don't sweat it! You could use one of my shirts if you want..."
"Really? That's great! But...maybe you could search for some of your mom's pajamas and then use yours as a last resort?"
"Oh, yeah I'll go look now, be back in a sec!" Austin ran up the stairs and I heard a door open. Something caught my eye on a little table that was by the door.
"What's this?" What I had picked up seemed to be a photo of Austin and his family. There was the happy parents, Austin, and two other people. They were probably his brother and sister, I'm surprised he hadn't mentioned them before...maybe he doesn't like to talk about them. But...the girl in this photo was still an infant, as for the other boy seemed twelve years old. Austin looks like a six year old in this photo...they look really happy.
I felt a cold tear slowly run down my cheek and fall onto the framed picture. "Silly me." I whispered to myself...I've always wanted a happy family. Now that I think about...my family never was happy, my father always had a serious drinking problem and would hit my mother when he was to drunk. But my mom would just tell us to go to our rooms, like everything was fine. It must have been hard to hold it all in for many years...no wonder they divorced. Why did she leave us? My brother's and I? If she said she loved us so much...why didn't she take us with her? Didn't she know how much we would suffer?! I just...don't get it! Why? Why!?
"Hey Ally, I only found these shorts so I'll let you use one of my shirts." He began to come down the stairs. So I wiped the tears rolling down my cheeks.
