A/N: Hey im back! I want to thank everyone for the reviews so much really they mean a lot to me! So I think this story is only going to have about two more chapters after this, but it may be extended based on how I split it up. After that I might do a one shot collection, but the updates would be separated more. Anyways here's the story.
Ally woke up early the next day, anxious for her dad to come home. She didn't know what he was going to do when he saw the extent of her injuries. As she was pondering the possibilities Austin moaned in his sleep. She looked up at the singer, who had his arms around her and smiled. He's been so great through all of this. I should do something to show him how much I appreciate it, Ally thought as she cautiously crawled out of Austin's loose grip, making sure not to wake him.
She made her way down the hallway, planning a special pancake breakfast for Austin. However, when she passed Austin's room she heard his phone go off. Thinking it might be her dad calling, Ally flew into the room as fast as her sore body would allow, and immediately picked up the phone.
"Hello" said Ally, sounding out of breath
"Ally oh my gosh! How are you? I've been going crazy over here. The reception in Hawaii sucks."
Ally smiled at the voice of her best friend, which she felt like she had not heard in ages. "I'm doing alright. I assume Austin gave you all the details?"
"Yeah. I wanted to come home straight away but you know how my mom is about 'family time' You okay? You hurt? Believe me I am going to hunt this guy down and make him wish he had never been born."
"Trish I know my…a-attack is a big deal and everything, but I something happened last night that I think you're going to find a lot more interest…"
"He told you didn't he?' Said Trish, interrupting Ally mid word.
Ally nodded, then realized Trish was not in her presence and said "Yeah he did."
"And…"
"And I told him too."
"And…"
"We kissed."
Trish then made a sound that was between a scream and nails against a chalk board.
"Anything else happen? You two get it on?'
"Trish! No! I mean we slept in the same bed because I had a nightmare, but nothing like your implying!" Ally responded, deciding not to tell Trish about the clothes incident or Austin's song, because they just seemed too personal to share, even with a best friend.
Trish laughed, "Man, Ally this is great!." she said,. She then began telling Ally stories about parasailing, snorkeling, and the other adventures she had taken on her trip. Just as she was telling Ally about a pig roast the line started to go fuzzy , "I'm loosing signal…talk to you…." The phone gave out, cutting the conversation short. Ally made her way downstairs, taking the phone with her incase her dad called. She got out all the pots and pans she need to make Austin's breakfast then got to work.

A half an hour and ten pancakes later, Austin made his way down the stairs.
"Hey I got worried when you weren't in bed. You have another bad dream?" Austin asked as he made his way behind Ally, giving her a hug.
"No, I just wanted to say thank you for everything you've done." She said, her arm referring to the fest of breakfast foods which were placed on the small dining table. Austin, who was too filled with worry to notice the food before, was wearing a huge grin on his face.
"This is great Als! But you don't have to thank me. Its no big deal." He responded as the two made their way to the table.
Ally smiled, then quietly said, "it was a big deal. At least to me."
Ally could have sworn she saw Austin blush, but he hid it my digging into his food. Each updated one another on the phone calls that they had, Austin telling Ally what Officer Bishop told him, and Ally informing Austin on what Trish was up to.
"Anyways, you are not allowed to be out of my sight, not while this guy is still out there." Austin said, his over protective side coming out. Before Ally could respond Austin's phone started to ring. Both dived to answer it, but Austin reached it first.
"Hello….okay…okay…great! See you soon!" Austin hung up the phone, and turned to Ally, "Your dad just got in. He said meet him at your house in an hour."
Ally nodded. The two got ready for the day, Austin taking a quick shower and changing into a v-neck and jeans, while Ally simply changed into another pair of sweats, to ensure her dad didn't have to see more bruises then necessary.
"Ally you don't have to hide it you know." Austin said meeting the girl, who had her duffle bag in hand, at the landing of his stair case.
Ally, who understood his elusive language, responded, "I know. I'm okay with you seeing it, I just-I just don't want people to stare." Austin nodded, knowing he had to give Ally time to get over her ordeal.
The two exited the house hand and hand, ready to face Mr. Dawson.

Austin pulled the car up to Ally's house, which was across town from his. The pair was very quite throughout the car ride, Ally being very clearly nervous about being around her dad for the first time since her attack . Austin shut the motor off, and the two sat in the car for a moment, seeing as Ally wasn't quite ready to go in.
"Hey," said Austin, who was rubbing her knuckles the same comforting way he had done in the hospital, "he's your dad Ally. He loves you no matter what."
Ally nodded, sighed, and began to exit the car. They made their way up to the house, and Ally typed in the code for the garage so the two would not have to ring the doorbell. They entered the small yet quaint house, Ally leading the way pulling Austin along with her.
The two reached the kitchen to find Mr. Dawson in deep thought at the kitchen table, his suitcase right beside him.
Ally took a deep breath, then said, "Hi d-daddy."
Mr. Dawson looked up, clearly not hearing them enter, and tears immediately formed in his eyes. He sprang from his chair and Ally let go of Austin's hand, meeting her father for an embrace. The two hugged for several moments, Ally sobbing into his chest while Mr. Dawson patted her head and told her it was all okay.
Above Ally's head Mr. Dawson saw Austin standing against the counter, his eyes fixed on the scene, and the girl, before him. Not wanting to disrupt his already upset daughter, Mr. Dawson looked Austin in the eye and mouthed "Thank You" without moving from his spot.
Austin, who was now holding back tears himself, mouthed back, "My pleasure"
A/N: What do you think? I don't think this is my best, but I also don't think its my worst. Like I said, there is only going to be like 2-3 more chapters, but im leaning more towards 3. I'd like to thank everyone who actually took the time to read what I've written so far. It means a lot :D
