Alright you guys. Thank you for telling me not to let a few haters ruin my sunshine that is my stories. You really made me feel good when I saw all those reviews begging me to continue. Thanks for the support! But if I see ONE HATER, I'm going to figure out a way to block you from my stories. If you don't like them, don't read them. Got it? Got it.
No, no, no, no. That couldn't be it. Maybe, she doesn't really think we're boyfriend and girlfriend, because boyfriend and girlfriend are just when you like each other. I don't know what we would be called though. Should I ask her? No, that would be weird. But it's just Ally so…
"Hey, Ally?" Ally was lying down on my bed beside me. "Mm?" "Well," I looked down and rubbed my own knuckles. "Well, I know that this is a really weird question but… would you say that we're boyfriend and girlfriend… or something more?" I asked.
She sat up. I could feel her eyes studying my face but I was too busy looking at my hands. She grabbed one of my hands in both of hers which made me look up at her. She rubbed my knuckles as I do with her. Wow, it actually was soothing.
She leaned up and kissed my cheek. "Something more. Definitely," she told me smiling. After she said this, there was a long moment of silence.
"So!" I said loudly, breaking the silence. "What do you want to do?" I asked her. "Um…" she leaned over and sunk into me. She's been doing that a lot lately. But I don't mind. Not one bit. I put my arms around her and she put hers around me.
I picked her up and off of the bed. I through back the covers, one-armed since the other was supporting Ally, and dropped onto the bed. She snuggled closer to me and seconds later, she was out like a light. I listened to her soft snores for a few minutes before drifting off to sleep myself.
I woke up suddenly. I had heard a noise that came from downstairs. I checked my phone; it was midnight. Ally was still in my arms so I unraveled myself from her carefully so that I wouldn't wake her up. I tiptoed out the door and down the stairs. I walked to the kitchen then to the living room. Once I walked in, I heard a noise again. I flicked on the light and looked toward the noise.
In the corner was a cute little dog. I picked him up and looked at him-excuse me, it's a her- her closely. She was an Australian Shepherd (1), I think. She didn't have a collar so I'm guessing she's just a stray. But, wait…
How did she get in? "How did you get in?" I asked her in a baby voice even though I knew she couldn't talk back or answer me. She jumped down out of my arms and nudged the old doggy-door that was in the front door. I forgot about that. We didn't get it removed when… Brownie died.
Brownie was my Welsh springer spaniel (1). "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" I asked her, again knowing she wouldn't answer. She ran to the kitchen. I walked in and noticed she was sitting right in front of the refrigerator. "Do you want some…?" I opened the fridge. "… Hot dogs?" Is it me or did that dog just shake its head? I'm going insane. Dogs don't know what humans say but I put the hot dogs back nonetheless.
"How about…?" I looked back to the fridge. "… Beef jerky?" I asked. If we had any dog food, I would've given that to her. She barked happily and I shushed her. I pointed upstairs and she followed my finger. "Shh, Ally's upstairs asleep," I told her. She hung her head.
I patted her head and gave her the beef jerky which she happily dug in to. I smiled. "Do you want to sleep in my bed with me and Ally tonight? Huh?" I asked her and she ran upstairs. Where is she going? I ran upstairs and into my room. The little dog was snuggled up to Ally's back in my bed.
Wow.
Is it just me or is that dog, like, REALLY smart?
I ignored the voice in my head telling me that this was a super dog from outer space and got into bed. I wrapped my arms around Ally and the dog and fell asleep.
In The Morning:
I woke up and groped for Ally again. She was gone… again. I walked out my door and down the stairs and heard giggling. "Ally?" I asked, walking into the living room. "Austin! Austin, Austin, Austin, Austin! Look what I found in the bed this morning!" she told me excitedly pointing to the dog.
"Yeah, I know. She crawled in through the doggy-door and I found her, fed her a little, and she got in my bed," I told her smiling. "What do you want to name her?" The smile on Ally's face faded. "Austin, we can't keep her, she belongs to somebody who loves her and misses her," Ally told me surprised.
"Well, she doesn't have a collar," I told her. "Maybe it fell off," she said, thinking of the possibilities. I got down on the floor with them and looked the dog straight in the eyes. She stared back which creeped me out a little but I kept looking.
"Do you belong to someone?" I asked her, now believing that the dog was smart enough to answer my questions. She shook her head a little as she did when I asked if she wanted some hot dogs. "See?" I asked Ally, tearing my eyes away from the dog.
She exhaled and said, "Well, she is cute." She petted her head. "We should name her something that has to do with music since we both really like music," she told me. "How about Harmony or… Melody! I really like that one," I told her. "Do you like the name, Melody?" I asked. Melody barked in delight.
"Alright then, Melody it is," Ally said, smiling. "I like that." She gave me another kiss on the cheek. Oh, I love those. "What do you want to do now?" I asked Ally. "We could go to Sonic Boom, I guess. And we can bring Melody because there isn't a rule that says 'No Dogs Allowed' or anything," she told me.
"Oh, but there is a rule against me eating off of my pants (2)?" I asked her. "There shouldn't have to be a rule!" she said. I went to the cabinet and got out Brownie's old collar and leash. I put the collar on Melody and hooked the leash to it.
We walked out of the house and to Sonic Boom. When we got there, Mr. Dawson asked, "Where's Trish?" Ally's eyes widened. "Oh! She's just at her new job. Typical Trish, right?" she told him. Mr. Dawson eyed her suspiciously for a moment then ignored it and told Ally that it was her shift.
She went behind the counter as Mr. Dawson walked into the back storage closet. "So…" I said, hopping up onto the counter. "May I be the first to distract you today?" I asked, fluttering my eyelashes like a girl. "Yes you may," she said in a British accent and curtsying. I lifted up her chin and gave her a kiss before a customer came up and cleared her throat.
Ally broke the kiss and sort of glared at the customer but she was too stuck up and snotty-looking to notice Ally's stare. I recognized the girl from school but I couldn't remember her name. I know that she's on the cheerleading squad, though. Melody tugged on the leash so I took her outside to use the bathroom. She sniffed everywhere and peed everywhere. Is Melody just FULL of pee?
I heard Ally arguing with the customer about something so I lingered just inside the doorway. "-is mine so back off before I make you back off!" the cheerleader told Ally. "No, that's not true," Ally said quietly. Ally's head was down so I couldn't see her and she could see me. The cheerleader's back was to me so she couldn't see me either. Ally looked up and I could see tears forming in her eyes.
But she still didn't see me because of the flow of customers coming in and out. "Yes it is. Austin is mine. He loves me and not you. He never did love you, no matter how many times he says it. We've kissed more times than you two have, probably," the cheerleader said. She slammed her hands down on the countertop which scared even me. "So if you're smart, you'll back off from my Austin. Got it? Got it," the cheerleader said.
I started walking as if I just got back. The cheerleader stopped me. She leaned up on tiptoe to look me in the eye. Then she gave me a good long kiss and I couldn't wiggle out of her grasp. For a skinny little cheerleader, she was really strong. She still had me in her strong grasp when she broke the kiss. "My parents won't be home tonight so we'll have the house all to ourselves. We can do whatever… you… want," she told me.
What is she talking about? I opened my mouth to say something and she gave me a big French kiss (3). It was very repulsive. I would never kiss Ally like that. She ran her fingers through my hair over and over again. Finally she let go.
"See you tonight," she said, winking before walking out the door. I looked at Ally who was crying harder than ever. The tears were just streaming down her face.
Ally's POV:
"No, Ally, it's not what it looked like!" Austin yelled. "It was exactly what it looked like! First, you don't actually love me. Second, you just kissed a cheerleader. Third, you're cheating on me! Or were we even really together in the first place?" I didn't give him time to answer. "I can't believe I was stupid enough to believe that you actually loved me," I said quietly, laughing softly at the thought.
Melody pulled the leash out of Austin's grasp. I ran up the stairs to the practice room, Melody hot on my heels. I let Melody walk inside before slamming the door shut. I dropped down onto the couch and Melody jumped up next to me.
"I'm sorry you had to see that, Melody," I told her, petting her ears. She crawled into my lap, telling me that she forgave me. I gave her a hug and said, "You still love me don't you?" She licked my face in response. "I still love you too," I told her. I kissed the top of her head. "I just wish that cheerleader girl didn't even exist so me and Austin wouldn't even be fighting," I told Melody before drifting off into a light sleep.
Hey guys. Don't worry, Austin and Ally can't ever keep up a fight and can't ever stay mad at each other. And thanks again you guys for reminding me how much fun writing is! And sorry that it's kind of late. I think most of you took me off of your alert list so I don't even know if you'll see this.
1. These are real types of dogs.
2. Something from Bloggers and Butterflies.
Sorry that it's kind of short, too.
