DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN AUSTIN AND ALLY!

AUSTIN'S POV:

It had been about a half hour; me just holding her. She wasn't crying anymore, just breathing steadily in my arms.

She pulls back a bit, looking at me shyly.

"I'm just gonna go wash up a bit" she says quietly, getting up. I nod and watch as she walks up the stairs. I sigh and meet Emily's cute hazel eyes. I jump a bit.

"Oh hey Em" I say softly.

"Is Ally ok" she asks me with innocent eyes. I swallow and sit her on my lap.

"um…." I say not very sure how to answer this.

"not really…you see someone hurt Ally…very badly…she will be ok but..she's just healing right now" I say. She just looks at me, processing what I had said.

"do you think she would like a hug" she asks me. I smile a bit.

"I think she would love a hug" her smile grows and she hops off my lap and runs upstairs. I chuckle a bit as I watch her. She's just so cute.

ALLY'S POV:

I splash cold water on my face, attempting to wash away my tears. I look awful. I barely even recognize myself.

All of a sudden I hear a tap on the open door. I turn around.

"hi Em" I say smiling at the little girl. Without a word she walks forward and wraps her arms around my lower waist. I smile a bit and kneel down to her level, hugging her back.

"You looked like you needed a hug" she says cutely. I smile a bit at the little blond.

"well thank you sweetie and yes I did"

She smiles a little at me then leaves. I sigh and look back at my reflection; completely disgusted.

"you ok" I flinch as Austin touches my shoulder.

"sorry" he says.

"it's fine I just…" He nods, understanding.

"why do you look at yourself like that" he asks me, sadly.

"what do you mean"

"Ally I'm not blind…you look at yourself like…like it's not even you" I sigh and turn around to face him.

"it makes me sad Ally…and a little scared" He twiddles with his fingers.

"why are you scared" I ask timidly. He sighs and pulls up my sleeve.

"This. This is why. Ally I don't want you to do anything worse to yourself. I'm worried about you Ally" He says breathing hard. I just look up at him.

"I'm fine" I breath.

"no no you're not! I want to help you Ally I just want you to let me!" Tears begin to well in my eyes.

AUSTIN'S POV:

"Why?!" She shrieks. There is a long silence. I don't know what to do anymore. So I just let my heart tell me what to do.

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" I scream. She looks taken aback and honestly I am too. I never really expected that to come out of my mouth. Was it true? Did I love her? My mind kept telling me it wasn't possible to love someone this fast but…it sure felt like I did.

"I-I'm sorry I-"

"You love me?" she asks me quietly.

"I-I don't know I just…I care a lot about you ok…I don't like seeing you hurt and the thought of losing you it…it scares the hell out of me…I hate watching you look at yourself with hatred when all I see is beautiful…I can't bear to lose you" I say shakily and softly.

At this point tears are starting to form in my eyes. She just stares at me, an unreadable expression on her face.

"I-I'm sorry" she croaks.

"for what" I ask her softly. Tears start to flow down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry I dragged you into this" I swallow.

"Ally don't-"

"no…it's my fault…I'm sorry….I-I'm sorry. I-I should just go." She says her voice fading into a whisper at the end.

I step forward holding her forearm.

"no Ally stay"

She just stays silent for what feels like forever. Then out of nowhere she screams. A loud ear piercing scream. She starts to cry then falls into my arms. I hold her tight, vowing to myself to never let her go.

She gasps for air in between sobs as she cries hard into my chest.

"I hate him Austin"

"I hate him so much" She cries. I rub her back, shutting my eyes on top of her head. I know that this is probably the first time she has ever admitted this. She had told me before how she 'had to love her dad'.

She hugs me tighter.

I look down at her, her head smashed against my chest.

I wince seeing her badly bruised cheek bone. I guess her makeup had washed off. I run my finger delicately along the bruise. She whimpers.

"I'm gonna go get you an ice pack ok" I say softly, a sympathetic look on my face. She swallows and nods, releasing me from her arms.
_

I quickly walk downstairs to get an ice pack; not wanting to leave her for too long.

I am stopped in my tracks by my mother's voice.

"honey what's going on…it sounds very serious from my end…" I swallow.

"it is…I just…I'll tell you later ok…I need to get back to Ally" I say. She nods, obviously worried; which I don't blame her.

I sigh and run back up the stairs.

I see Ally sitting on my bed, twiddling with her fingers. I sit beside her and she looks at me with her big brown doe eyes.

"here" I say at whisper level as I lightly press the cold pack to her cheek. She tenses at first but then relaxes.

We are silent for a while until she speaks.

"could we talk about something happy" she says quietly.

"sure" I say. "what'cha wanna talk about"

She shrugs.

"your sister really loves you" she says. I smile.

"yah…"

"she looks a lot like you too." I look at her. "same eyes"

I nod as she seems to be thinking about something.

ALLY'S POV:

"I still remember when my mom had her…I was so happy" he says, kind of staring off into space with a smile on his face. I smile a bit, scooting a little closer to him.

"I was so happy to be a big brother" he says. He reaches into his back pocket pulling out his wallet. I watch his actions as he finds a certain picture and shows it to me.

It is of him when he was about ten, holding a baby in a white room; a huge smile on his face.

I smile.

"you're so cute" I blurt out. He looks at me with a weird smile.

"what" I ask looking up at him. He shakes his head.

"nothing" we are silent again.

"they let me name her ya know" he tells me, smiling as he re-lives obviously a happy memory.

"What made you chose 'Emily'" I ask him. He shrugs.

"just liked the sound of it I guess" I nod.

He chuckles. I furrow my brow.

"what's so funny" I ask him.

"nothing it's just…'Ally' was my second choice" I just look at him for a minute as he does the same to me.

All of a sudden his face seems to be getting closer to mine. Slowly. Absentmindedly we are leaning in. He starts to shut his eyes as do I.

"Austy can you take me to chucky cheese" Emily's little voice asks. We jump apart, blushing mad.

"um … sure Em um…when do you wanna leave"

"now" she says in more of a question. Austin looks at me the redness in his cheeks dying down.

"wanna come" He asks me. I'm sure my face is still incredibly red because it still feels hot.

I clear my throat.

"um yah sure"

"Ok then…why don't you go wait in the car" he tells his little sister. She smiles big and nods before scurrying down the stairs and to Austin's car. He chuckles a little bit then looks back at me, his face becoming red again.

"so uh…shall we go" I nod getting off the bed.

"yah.." With that he places one hand on my back issuing me out of his bedroom and leading me to his car.
