Chapter 7- Time Tells All

~EDITED~

A/N: So here is the next chapter. The update bar is moved to 50 so let's get it there! Only 10 reviews!

3rd person point of view

Ally and Austin were sitting on the couch with Alana reading a book and Matt and Maddie were making kabobs when they saw the tear stained face of Mackenzie walk into their house. Matt of course walked over to whisper reassurances in her ear but she just pushed him away and walked into their shared bedroom. "What is up with her?" Austin asked. No one had an answer but Ally was determine to get one.

She walked over to the door and rapped quietly. "Mackie, hun, you can talk to me. Please open the door." She said lovingly and she heard a click from the other side of the door signaling that it had been unlocked. Ally tentatively walked into the room and shut the door with a soft nudge from her foot. "Do you wanna tell me what's up?" She asked softly. Mackenzie sniffled and looked up from her arms. She looked like a kicked puppy, her big eyes crystallized with tears, lower lip trebling like a child who got their candy taken away.

"Oh Ally, I did something terrible, absolutely terrible." Mackenzie sobbed. Ally could feel her heart breaking at the sight of her emotional breakdown. Ally wondered if that was what she looked like when she was aching to see Austin.

"I'm sure it's not that bad Mack. What happened?" Ally inquired. What she said was not totally true, Mackenzie is usually pretty good at keeping her feelings bottled up so when she lets them out, someone has hell to pay. After a few more sobs Mackenzie looked up into Ally's reassuring eyes and took a deep breath. She was ready.

"When I went to work there was a note on my desk saying to call Ross, so I did. He said that he need to see me so I told him I was free. He came over and announced his undying love to me. I said that I didn't feel the same and he wrote me a really sweet, heart-felt, letter. When I still said no he stood up and I stood up and he- he- he kissed me! I was so flustered I told him to leave and I feel terrible. The worst part of it all is, I think I might've liked it a little bit." Mackenzie said. Ally had shock all over her face as she was trying her best to register what was happening in her mind. "Ally say something." Mackenzie said, tears overcoming her eyes yet again.

"I- I- I don't know what to say Mackenzie. Him kissing you would be one thing, I wouldn't even dream of calling I cheating, but you LIKING it. That is the definition of cheating. How could you do this to Matt? Have you even thought of him in this situation?!" Ally yelled, at this moment both the girls were thankful they had sound-proof walls.

"Of course I've thought of Matt! How could I not? When Matt got deployed in shattered my heart. He left me to take care of an infant BY MYSELF! I was vulnerable and needed love and he just left! I know that he had no choice to go, but he knew that he would have to go sometime when he enlisted. He also knew that we would have kids someday. It just really pissed me off that he gets to leave me here all alone. So I guess while he was gone we kinda lost our spark, the tiny spark that we had in the first place. So if he was gone for 2 years then of course the spark will go out, fires don't last forever Ally. I really was too optimistic in the first place anyway, I knew in the back of my mind that we wouldn't last, especially when he enlisted in the army." Mackenzie said looking at the ceiling while she lay on her back. I guess Ally knew where Mackenzie was coming from, the heart break of him leaving, the being alone while raising an infant. But she had been through it all the same, she had no right to just cheat on him because of this petty selfish reason. Matt was an amazing guy and great with the girls. Mackenzie also had to remember Madison in this situation also.

"Well do whatever you feel is right. Just remember that you have Maddie to think about. Just to let you know, I 100% back Matt in this situation and if you choose Ross in this situation, I don't think that I can be friends with you anymore. I don't enjoy associating myself with people who hurt others." Ally said and walked out of the room like nothing had happened.

"So what was the matter?" Matt asked.

"Oh, she's just on her period so she's really emotional." Ally lied with a smile. The men nodded awkwardly and Ally hoped that it would shut them up. And it did. Mackenzie joined them for dinner looking fresh as a daisy as if nothing happened, but Ally knew. She could never, ever feel the same about Mackenzie again. Here she thought that she was so sweet and innocent, but she's not. Ally would keep Mackenzie's secret, for now, but she knew for sure that time wouldn't.

"Ally did you have something to tell everyone." Austin said and she snapped back into reality. She remembered that she had breast cancer.

"Oh, ya. Well earlier today at the doctors I received news that I have breast cancer." Ally said mumbling the last part. Everyone at the table looked shocked followed by condolences.

"I don't want your pity I want your support! This is really hard for me to swallow right now, do you think that mindless condolences are going to cure me? Reality check, they aren't." Ally yelled and stormed out of the room. She thought they would know better than to just throw her a pity party. The girls looked confused because their mom/aunt was yelling, they didn't know what about, but when Ally yelled something was bad, because Ally rarely yelled.

"What's wrong with mommy?" Alana asked Austin, who just looked down at her with tears in his. He engulfed her in a hug like it was the last time he was ever going to see her again.
