Sadly guys. This is the last chapter. It was great having people read it. It was supposed to be a short story anyways. I will start another one soon too.


The Letter

I opens my eyes an suddenly panic to where I am. Brown walls and a gorgeous wooden dresser at the foot of the bed. Silky, feathered , cushiony blankets that you could just sink you're entire body into. I put my hand in my pillow and turn my body to one other side.

Oh my god! Did I just...with Austin...at his...right before...how am I...shit! Austin. I poke him so he would wake up. He hums and groans. He lifts his head up and looks around the room not noticing that I'm sharing his bed with him. He looks towards me and looks down. I lift my head up and we look at each other.

"Uh...did we just?" He asks me.

"Yeah. We did."

"And we are..."

"Seeing other people. Yeah." I say. Then it comes to panic. "Oh my God." I rub my face in stress. "I can't believe I just did that. I'm getting married in five days."

"Okay. Don't panic. We can fix this."

I get up and start getting dressed. In front of Austin, but whatever.

"Fix this? I just had sex with someone who is not my fiancé. I am such a bad person."

"You're not a bad person. People make bad decision but that doesn't make them a bad person."

I look up, "Awwww. That's cute." I smile. I blink twice. "What am I doing? What are WE doing? I have to get out of here. I'll talk to you later."

I walk out of the house and drive to my place. It's about 9:30. Oh my God! Gavin is coming home today. What if he's there and he asks me why I am out so early in the morning?

I get there and head inside. I open my door and it's silent. I lay on the couch and breath. I text Trish.

To Trish from Ally

Trish! I did something really bad! I don't know how Gavin will ever forgive me! Oh my God! I can't believe I did this! Nothing's ever going to be the same ever again!

To Ally From Trish

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Slow down. What happened?

To Trish from Ally

I have to call you.

Ally calls Trish and she picks up almost instantly.

"Ally, what's wrong?"

"Oh my god! Trish, I did something so bad. You're going to hate me for it.

"Ally, you sound horrified. What's wrong?"

"Trish, I slept with someone."

"What do you mean?"

"I slept with someone who wasn't Gavin."

"Ally, who were they?" I take a big gulp and don't answer her question. "Ally, who?"

"Austin."

"Oh my god!"

"I'm such a bad person."

"No you're not. You just have to tell Gavin. I don't know how he's going to react but you have to."

"I know. I'm just scared for what he's going to say."

"I know."

"I'm going to take full responsibility for my actions. I am prepared for what's going to happen to me."

"That's good."


Gavin finishes putting his stuff away. I tell him everything that happened. Every single thing that happened. Form the date to what happened last night.

"Ally." He says. I just finished explaining what happened.

"What?" I have tears falling from my eyes.

"I slept with someone." He says clearly.

"What?" I look up in shock.

"It was just a night. I was drinking."

"There is only one way for us to fix this." I say.

"What's that?"

Another tear falls form my eye, "We have to cancel the wedding."


Three Months Later

I moved out and now I live in my own apartment. Life is so different when you don't have someone to share it with. I had my album release party the other night and Gavin was there. Is good that he can be there for me still even thought the fact. We decided to be friends even though we have been in such a long relationship. I get a knock on my door. I open it and scream.

"Trish!" I pull her in for a hug and she comes into my place. "When did you get back?"

"Early this morning."

"Where's Dez?"

"He went to go visit someone people. Like I'm visiting you."

"That's amazing. I have missed you guys so much. It's been forever."

"We saw each other what, last year."

"Yeah, and that was like only Christmas." We both laugh and share crazy moments. Yes, we have talked like everyday and we keep up with each other's life dramas but it's different when you see each other in person.

"So how's you and Austin."

"What? I haven't talked to him for what is it, three months?"

"Wow. What you guys do?"

"We had a get to know each other dinner. It felt like a date and it felt so romanic and like I was flying in the clouds."

"When did you just realize what that day felt to you?"

"After I broke up with Gavin. I didn't let myself think about what my feelings were towards Austin because I was with Austin. Austin is an amazing person."

"How does he make you feel?"

"Like I can do anything, be anything. That's more than I can say for Gavin." I drift apart from my words and realize what I just said. Trish smiles.

"Gavin was just a road to travel to get to Austin. You know, you are talking about Austin and how amazing he makes you feel when you could be going after the guy of your dreams."

"You know you are so right." Trish drives me to his place and I walk up to the house. I knock on the door with nervousness. He opens the door with a smile on his face.

"Hey, Ally. What's brings you here?"

I look over is shoulder and see that the house is very bare. "Where is all your furniture?"

"Oh, half of that was Pipers." I give him a questioned look.

"You guys broke up?"

"Yeah, three months now."

"Wow, me and Gavin broke up three months ago."

"Oh."

"I came here for a reason so I am going to stick with it." He nods his head for me to continue. "Okay, you know that saying where if you love them, let them go? And if they come back they are yours to keep."

"Yes."

"I think that is our situation. Are past selves knew that we were meant for each other even though we were young and stupid. And if we found each other again that has to mean something to me. I am ready to let go of the past and look into the future. Will you join me?" I put my hand out and Austin looks down at it. Trish drives off going to Dez.

"Ally, would you like to come in?"

"I would love that." I walk in and close the door behind me leaving behind the past.
