Angel In Disguise Chapter 4
Ally's POV
We arrive in London and we head to the hotel. "You know I don't have any clothes right?" Austin asks.
"Oh, crap I forgot that. Well, I guess we can just go shopping for some."
"Preferably now as I am going to need something to sleep in."
"Okay. Let's just check into our room and then we can go get you some big boy pants." I laugh. Austin rolls his eyes and we get our room keys.
We are on the third level. I read the key, "The Balcony Suite. Better be good."
This hotel doesn't have any elevators so we walk up the stairs. A few moments later we get on the third floor and search for our room number which is Room number 312. "312. Found it." Austin says. We unlock the door and look around.
"It's gorgeous." I say. I run to the balcony doors and look over the edge. "Austin! Look at this view."
He comes outside and stands next to me leaning against the balcony fence, "Yeah. This is beautiful. You can see the Big Ben clock from here."
"I can't wait to see that at night." We go back in the hotel and look around. "Where's the other bed?"
"I don't know, Als. You're the one who booked this hotel room."
"There has got to be another bed somewhere."
"Look around Ally." Austin laughs. "There doesn't seem to be a hidden bed anywhere. Just the one." There's a bit of silence. "So what do we do?"
"I guess we are just going to have to share a bed for tonight. Now, let's go find a shop so we can buy you some clothes."
We leave the hotel and climb down the stairs and I pull out my phone. I type in clothing stores and GPS it.
"So, how do you supposed we get around this place?" Austin asks.
"Taxi." One stops in front of us and we hop inside. I tell him where we would like to go and then he drops us off in front of a store. Austin and I look around and admire the gorgeous scenery. "I could come here all the time, if you know, I was on the run all the time."
"You still didn't really tell me much about that."
"I can't really talk to you about it in front of all these people can I?" I gesture around my surroundings of people walking to different directions. I look at the beautiful cement pathways and tall old buildings. People rushing to get to get home or to any other place. I notice a bird fly onto a tree branch. I see it's beautiful blue feathers as it is also checking its surrounds . Most likely to see if it is safe to fly to a particular area.
"Earth to Ally." I thought I heard mumbling of someone talking behind me. I didn't even notice. I was too wrapped up in my own thoughts I forgot Austin was even with me. "Ally!" I felt to cold hands on my shoulders as a shock of shivers goes through my spine as I quickly turn my head to Austin.
"Sorry." I back away from him as he let's go of me.
"Are you okay?" He asks me with his full attention on me while I am still looking around.
"Yeah, sorry. Let's go inside." We walk inside the building, "I should also tell you to eat more then you do. I can tel you don't eat much. You're hands are freezing."
"I eat plenty." He laughs. "It's cold here."
"Just a bit." We walk around the store and find Austin a few outfits and then walk to the cash register. We exit the store and see a sign that reads TAKE A WALK THROUGH PARK.
"Hey, Austin want to?"
"What?"
I point to the sign and he reads it then looks at me with a smile, "Sure." We get to the park and take a walk.
"This is the perfect time to get to know you."
"Ally, you already know me, we were best friends before-you know."
"Yeah, that was before. Like you said, were best friends. You're life has changed. I want to know what you've been up to since I left."
"Well, I haven't really done much. I was grieving you."
I stop both of in out tracks, "You really haven't done anything?"
"No." It was a rather shock to the system that the one person I could tell anything to just died. I was a terrible time for me. For the first few months I didn't want to talk to anyone. I just blocked everyone out. I staying in my apartment and when someone came over I would ignore them."
"Oh, my God. Austin, I am so sorry I did that to you. I didn't know that it would hurt you that bad. I can't imagine my parents."
"They just found things to distract themselves. Everyone has their own way to move on. Mine was just a dangerous way. I was drinking, more than I should have. When Dez came over and insisted I'd open the door because he wouldn't leave, I would lash out on him. He always tried to help me with the pain of losing you but it didn't work."
One Year Ago
Austin's POV
"Austin, open the door. You can talk to me." Dez knocked on the door.
"Leave!" I threw a plate at my door and fell to the floor from lack of balance because the whiskey I had been drinking had gone to my brain. I drank so much that I could barely speak. "You don't even want to be here."
"Austin, do you think I would be here if I didn't want to be here. I would be home right now. Probably worrying about you. But instead of worrying about you from a distance I came all the way over here, for you. So, that I can help you. Just open the door."
"Not a chance!"
"I'm not leaving until you open this door and let me inside."
A few minutes went by of Dez trying to convince me to open the door but it didn't work. I finally had enough of him and opened the door. I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and threw him to the floor. He stood up and grabbed my shoulders and pinned me against the wall. "I know that you are sad and angry that Ally died but you have to find a safer way to grieve. This is unhealthy for you and every relationship you ever had."
"Shut up! The only real relationship I want to have is with Ally and she is gone! No one else really cared about me. You don't care about me. You just care about yourself."
"Austin, you are drunk out of your mind right now and I know nothing makes sense right now but-"
"Of course nothing makes sense right now- practically the love of my life died."
"Austin."
I shove Dez away from me and stumble over to my drink and finish it off. "Leave. Or don't. Do whatever you want. Because that's what I'm doing."
Today
Ally's POV
"Austin, I am so sorry."
"Yeah, whatever. That was a year ago. I'm over it now. And you're alive. I have my best friend back."
"Yeah you do."
We head back to the hotel and get ready for bed. We have another flight in the morning.
I finish changing in the bathroom and come out and see Austin sitting up in the bed reading something. We send each other an awkward smile and then I hope to the right side of the bed. "Ready for bed?" I ask.
"Yep." I turn out the lights and I say "Everything used to be so different when we were together. We would always find a way to make each other smile. Now it's just different."
"I hope that it doesn't feel like that for long. I need my best friend back."
"You do."
"But it's not the same."
"I know."
"How long will I have to be on the run with you?"
"I don't know."
"Not like I'm complaining or anything."
"Goodnight, Austin."
