Thanks for the reviews loves! xo
Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally or The Disney Channel. I don't own any of the song lyrics below, but they are amazing nonetheless.
Austin's POV
I texted Ally hours ago and she still hasn't responded. I want nothing more than to chuck my cellphone across the room because I'm so frustrated in more ways than one. I put my head in my heads and wince in pain since I'm still pretty beaten up from the accident. There's a knock on the door, but Dez and Trish just left a little while ago so that can't be them.
"Come In!"
I yell to whoever is on the other side of the door. I'm hoping it's Ally, but my heart knows that it's not. Whenever Ally's close my heart starts to race and I can feel her presence.
"Oh, hi Piper." She walks in timidly like she's walking on egg shells.
"Hey Austin. Is A- Ally here?" Wow. Her voice is shaky.
"No, she hasn't been here since she left with Gavin."
"Listen, I'm really sorry about what happened. Well, I'm not sorry that I kissed you. Can I ask you something?" I nod in response for her to go on.
"What's going on with you and Ally?"
"N- nothing." I lied.
" Are you sure because I'm pretty sure that your 'best friend' wouldn't deck me if there wasn't something going on between the two of you?"
I don't respond right away, "Listen. It's complicated."
"What's complicated about it? If you're not going to be with Ally then why can't you be with someone else? Why can't you be with... me? We could be good together."
Piper looks for me to answer her, and there's probably a million different reasons as to why I shouldn't be with her.
"Piper. Come here."
"What is it Austin?" I motion for her to lean down like I'm about to tell her something and I just kiss her.
"You know you're right. If I'm not going to be with Ally then I can be with you. So, Piper will you be my girlfriend?" She kisses me and there's my answer right there. She looks at me and her eyes are smiling, but they aren't the eyes that I wish they were. Ally's.
Austin, wtf are you doing?
I believe I just got myself a girlfriend.
Right only one problem.
What's that?
Wrong girl. Get ready for World War III ! This is going to be a complete shit show. How exactly are you going to keep this from Ally?
I'm not.
You don't deserve Ally. Wow, you really are an asshole. No wonder she hasn't broken up with Gavin. Look at what you've done now. She's better off with Gavin. I bet he won't stomp on her heart repeatedly like you have. You're un-fucken-real.
I shake off and ignore my conscience, "Hey, why don't we take a picture of us so I can put it as your picture under my contacts?"
"Sure boyfriend." At the word boyfriend coming out of Piper's mouth I cringe.
Idiot.
She comes to stand next to me and we get ready for the first picture, we hear the click and the flash goes off. Wow, we look weird together. We take another picture, I see that it's about 10:00 p.m. and she asks me to send it to her. She puts her number in my phone and I create a message to text her the pic. I go to my favorites section and add her to my list. I set up the picture message and send it to her phone.
A minute later, I get texts from Ally, Dez, and Trish.
From Ally to Austin:10:00 p.m. Don't talk to me.
From Trish to Austin: 10:01 p.m. Are you fucken serious?
From Dez to Austin: 10:05 p.m. Bro, I love you, but you're an idiot. Trish and Ally are already texting me about this picture.
Piper notices that I've tensed up a bit. I tell her that I'm tired and I should probably just get some sleep since I am getting checked out of the hospital tomorrow. She gives me a peck goodbye and I tell her that I'll call or see her tomorrow. Okay, now I can freak out.
Fuck. I created two separate texts with the same picture. I try to figure out how that picture got sent to Ally, Dez and Trish too. One to Piper, but when I added her to my favorites and selected the category it must have sent to Ally, Dez and Trish too. Wow, now I'm definitely fucked. The picture sent to them was of Piper kissing me on my cheek and I was grinning wider than the fucken Grinch when his heart grew three sizes.
I'm sorry. Who told you that this was a bad idea in the worst kind of way? I'd love to see how you're going to get your ass out of this bind. No way am I helping you. Good luck on getting Ally to break up with Gavin. You claimed that you only wanted her, and yet you just sent her a picture of Piper kissing you on the cheek. I'm done with you. Go to bed or listen to music. I really don't give a shit right now.
There's no way I'm getting out of this. Trish and Ally are already talking to Dez about this. I'm fucked. I hope that he can convince them that it's not what it looks like. I know what I can do until I fall asleep listen to some music. I check out my playlists on my phone, the song starts to play.
Maroon 5: This Love
I was so high I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye as she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart, oh!
This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice
Cause I won't say goodbye anymore
I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied, oh!
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again
This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice
Cause I won't say goodbye anymore
I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
(It's alright, it's alright)
My pressure on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
Because I know that's what you want me to do
This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
Her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice
Cause I won't say goodbye anymore
This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And my heart is breaking in front of me
And she said goodbye too many times before
This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
Her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice
Cause I won't say goodbye anymore
Ally's POV
I pick up the phone and 3-way call Trish and Dez the second I received that picture message from Austin. I stupidly thought he would send me a cute one of a sad puppy face showing that he misses me, but nope. Of course not. I wanted to tell them how awesome my date with Gavin went, but I'm no longer in the mood to do so. I'm waiting for Trish to pick up and it only takes her half a ring and then before I know it Dez is on the other line too.
"Hey guys."
"Ally! Are you okay?" They both reply in unison.
" I'm F-fine."
"You don't sound fine to me." Trish states.
"Can you guys come over? I really need a hug right now. I can't call Gavin because that would just be weird to have him come over when I'm upset about that picture and then I'd have to explain and well."
"Ally, you're rambling. Let me just grab my keys and I'll be on my way. "
"Thanks Trish."
"Ally, I can bring my baby kangaroo over for you to pet. Will that make you feel better?"
"That's really sweet Dez, but no. I just need my best friends right now. The one's I can count on."
"I'll be there as soon as I can." They both hang up and I'll just assume that they're on their way.
While I'm waiting for Trish and Dez to get here I decide to listen to some music. Oh, I know the perfect song for my mood right now. I start singing along to it. Pink is seriously bad ass!
Pink: Just Like A Pill
I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me
I think I took too much
I'm crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun
I can't stay on your life support,
There's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine,
'Cause it's making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again,
But shes being a little bitch
I think I'll get outta here, where I can
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better,
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
I haven't moved from the spot where you left me
This must be a bad trip
All of the other pills, they were different
Maybe I should get some help
I can't stay on your life support,
There's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine,
'Cause it's making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again,
But shes being a little bitch
I think I'll get outta here, where I can
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better,
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill

Austin's POV
Shit. If Ally and Trish are already texting Dez about the picture I better call him. I pick up my cell and it's already starting to get late, but I really don't care. The phone starts to ring,
Come on Dez Pick Up. He picks up on the third ring.
"Dez! I need to talk to you."
"Hey man. I don't have long to talk."
"What? why?"
"I'm on my way to Ally's now, so is Trish."
"Austin, what were you thinking?"
"Dez, it's not what it looks like."
"Oh yeah. I know you, and I can tell when you're full of shit which in this case you are."
"That girl, Piper right. Isn't she some nurse intern?"
"Well yeah and my girlfriend."
The other line is silent and I realize that Dez just hung up on me. I pick up the phone to redial him and it goes straight to voice-mail. Unbelievable. My best friend just hit the Fuck You button on me.
I give up. I'm just going to close my eyes and hopefully wake up from this nightmare tomorrow.
I think that's for the best. You realize that all Ally, Trish and Dez are all mad at you. The only one who isn't is Piper. She's too stupid to even realize that you're just going to use her to make Ally jealous.
Ally's POV
As soon as I got off the phone with Dez and Trish I just couldn't hold it in any longer. I let out a scream and started crying. I even went to pick up the picture frame that I threw a couple of nights ago off the floor and I just cut my hand on the glass. How could I have been so stupid to think Austin was genuine and meant what he said?
How do you know for sure that he doesn't mean what he said.
I don't.
And you are crying here again because of who?
Austin.
Right and not Gavin.
Can you just get to the point please?
Ally, you're hurting because you love Austin. You're in love with Austin. You know, while you're with Gavin it's not fair of you to expect Austin to be alone.
But he's not alone. He's got me.
Does he? How do you know that he didn't just take that picture with Piper because he was mad at you?
The doorbell rings and on the other side are my two of my best friends, Trish and Dez. They open their arms wide and motion for me to go into them. I hug Trish first and then Dez.
"Let's just go up to my room." Trish and Dez follow behind me.
We get to my bedroom and it looks like a bomb went off in it. They see the broken picture frame and the glass on the floor. There are tissues all over my floor and when I look into the mirror I seriously look like a hot mess.
"Ally,what happened in here? Why is that picture frame broken? I thought that was your favorite picture of you and Austin."
Dez looks at my hand and notices the cut which is currently dripping blood.
"Ally, you're bleeding. Trish, go get me the first aid kit. We need to see if this cut is a surface cut or deep and if Ally's going to need stiches or not."
Trish runs into the bathroom, she pushes Dez to the side for a moment so she can clean the cut properly.
"You're lucky that this is only a surface cut, otherwise we would have had to take you to the hospital."
I glare at Dez, "I'm not going to that fucken hospital any time soon."
"Okay, so I guess now wouldn't be a good time to tell you that Austin called on the way over here?"
Trish interjects trying to motion for Dez to stop, "Oh, what did he have to say?"
Just then my phone goes off and it's Austin calling. Dez and Trish just look at me while they listen to Austin's ringtone play,
Just one chance, just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
Cause you know
You know, you know
That I love you, I've loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go
I just let the call go to voice-mail. My phone starts blinking indicating that he's left me a voice-mail.
Austin then proceeds to call Dez and Trish's phones who also let it go to their voice-mail.
"Dez, are you going to tell us what Austin said?"
" I don't know if I should." He sounds extremely hesitant. I guess I should prepare myself.
"You better tell us you doof or else you're going to be taking the next plane to Timbuktu."
" Alright. Alright. Austin said that Piper's his girlfriend." My head starts spinning, I was standing and then everything goes black.
"Ally, Ally." I feel Dez and Trish shake me worriedly, but I feel like I'm paralyzed.
"Dez, she fainted. Do something." Dez runs to the bathroom to put water on a dampen a cold washcloth and bring back to put on Ally's head.
"I'm going to strangle Austin if I see him tomorrow."
Now, that's my girl! I really hope that she makes good on her promise.
Dez and Trish know Ally's voice-mail pin and listen to Austin's message:
Ally, baby please pick up the phone. I really need to talk to you. I really need to see you.
...
"That fucken jerk. You mean to tell me he now has a girlfriend and he just left Ally that message? Now, I'm really going to throttle him."
"I'm not going to stop you. I hung up on him when he told me."
I know that Dez and Trish think that I'm out cold, but I'm not I've heard everything. I heard the voice-mail and their conversation.
I hate that I love you, Austin Moon.
Even if my heart wants Austin, my mind tells me that Gavin is the better guy for me. At least he won't break my heart. Maybe in time I can learn to love Gavin even if it's not the same way I love Austin. I'm going to have to keep my distance from him so I can get over him. I was stupid to think that Austin would fight for me. I guess he lied and I'm so glad that I never let him tell me those three words because right now...they mean absolutely nothing. All I wanted was time to figure things out and Austin couldn't even give me that.I get it, I'm with Gavin and yes I like him but I'm really tired of being taken for granted. I thought Austin was going to stop doing that and then I would have broken up with Gavin, but he just got himself a new girlfriend.
Piper.
I feel Dez lift me and lay me down on the bed and put me under the covers. He and Trish then exit my bedroom door and walk down the stairs locking it on the way out. My dad is still away so now I'm all alone. My phone starts to ring again and I open my eyes to total blackness and feel completely numb. I ignore that familiar ringtone and I'm no longer numb and completely breakdown. I look on my nightstand and see that Trish and Dez left me a note, but I'll just look at it in the morning.
