Ally's POV;
Austin told me that Dallas lived near me so I thought that it would be better to call him not his parents. Dallas came with an inhaler in his hand. He put in Austin's mouth and pressed the button.
"Austin has asthma?" I tried not to act too surprised.
"Yeah, he tells me to look after it, what happened?" Dallas answered.
"He got slapped, will he be okay?"
"Yeah, it's happened before a while ago, he got into a fight and we used this and he got better," He wiped the blood on Austin's face with a tissue I gave him.
"Thanks for helping; I'm sorry that you guys aren't friends anymore because of me,"
Dallas stood up. "We argue about stupid things like all the time,"
Austin was awake again then looked at me and Dallas. "Did I just get knocked out?" he croaked.
Dallas and I helped him up. Austin looked tired and worn out, there was no way I could go back to see my dad after what he did to him.
"Ally, do you want to stay at mine?" Austin offered. "I could do with some company and me and Dallas aren't friends anymore,"
"Okay, Dallas, can you help with the bags?"
"Sure," We both picked them up, they were really heavy and considering that we have to walk it wasn't very helpful that Dallas didn't get his parents to drive him here.
"I have some money, I'll get a cab," Austin waved at the taxi. We all got into the car, Austin was shaking as well as me.
Austin's POV;
Dallas got dropped off so now it's just me and Ally. I would give her a hug and tell her that everything will be okay but my arms are sore and I didn't know if I was right or not this time. The girl I want to be with's dad hates me and beats me up all the time. He doesn't even know anything about me; he probably doesn't even know my name. If Dallas didn't come with my inhaler I would've died and that would be it, no more Austin Moon. Dallas has kept my inhaler for years and he still has it, that's amazing. When Dad finds out what happened I don't know what he will do, I don't want him to find out but he will eventually.
Once I paid the taxi driver, I got out of the car to find Dad open the door. He looked disappointed in me, Ally looked at him slightly scared.
"Dad, this is Ally," I introduced. "Can she stay with us? Her dad has been giving me- her a hard time,"
"Of course she can," Dad smiled. "You both must be freezing, come inside,"
Dad gave Ally hot chocolate and made her watch TV. He didn't let me go out of the kitchen because he knew something was up. I had to tell him but I had no idea how he was going to react. Maybe he'd think less of me, as if I'm some type of wuss.
"Her dad is out to get you?" Dad yelled. "What did you? You didn't…"
"What? NO, of course not, gross!" I opened the door a little to see if Ally was still watching TV, she was asleep. "It's like he's against me,"
"Do you want me to talk to him? Austin you look a state!"
"No, Dad, please don't, I'll sleep it off,"

Dad wouldn't let me sleep next to Ally. I wanted to keep her company but when I went downstairs I forgot that it was a school day, Ally did too. Dad told us that we didn't have to go in because he wanted to talk to Mr Dawson later after I told him not to. He's at work now and he doesn't know what Ally's dad even looks like or where he lives. Ally was sitting down reading her text messages; they must have been pretty bad because she looked as if she was going to cry. She should have to cry or be afraid of anything, I'm meant to protect her but I'm not doing a pretty good job am I?
"Ally," I sat next to her, she turned and faced me. "I didn't really think, I'm sorry that your dad doesn't want us to be together,"
"It's not your fault, Austin," she mumbled, pressing the delete button on every message she got.
"I wanted us to run away and live happily ever after, like a fairy tale I guess,"
Ally's face lit up. "We can, I don't want to see my dad ever again so we're okay!"
"He's going to look for you, he knows you're with me,"
Ally chewed onto her hair.
Ally's POV;
Ally, I swear, come back home now. Delete.
Is your pathetic boyfriend gone? Delete.
If you're with him you'll be sorry, you both will. Delete.
I'm going to kill him if you don't break up with him.
As I was about to press delete, Austin stopped me and started typing, I didn't actually see what he put until he sent it – it wasn't nice but there wasn't a nicer way to say it.
That was him wasn't it?
"Austin, don't, you're going to make things worse,"
Austin sighed and got his laptop out, how could he go on Music Buds at a time like this? He had new messages, funny, I didn't send him anything.

I hope u and ur virtual gf die, u r such a blonde haired freak!
"They know who GuitarPlayerr is," Austin said. "Great,"
"The last comment was just too far!" I retorted. "Report it,"
"I guess my second life is over, "
If I got those messages I would be crying by now but Austin is sitting there, he's scrolling down the comments as if they're not a big deal. He then refreshed the pages and freshly new comments appeared. Austin went online and found over fifty friend requests, someone gave him an invite to their room!
"Oh my gosh, someone told everyone my username!"

"Austin, refrain, you're only going to make it worse,"
I pressed the backspace button.
Austin's POV;
ASDFGHJKL, WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW ANGRY I AM. SOME EVIL GUTLESS RAT TOLD EVERYONE ABOUT GUITARPLAYERR. Why would someone do that? Can't I just be happy for once or is that impossible? Someone even wished that I was dead, why would they even want Ally to die when they don't even know her? I'm seriously getting fed up now; first it was Ally's dad, then Dallas and now people on Music Buds? Next it will be the whole school that finds out everything about me, I just want to curl up and die. I want to show those stupid guest accounts what I'm made of but Ally won't let me. She wants me to report the comments like a goody too shoes, I'm denying the fact that I'm possibly being cyber bullied. There is no way that I'm coming into school tomorrow.

I didn't realise how awkward it would be hanging with Ally all day. We don't even act like we're dating, we're playing snakes and ladders. She probably thinks that I'm a boring person right now.
"Yay, you've won for the fifth time!" I sighed, sarcastically.
"I'm sorry that you keep losing?" Ally put the game away.
"Sorry, I'm just annoyed about this Music Buds thing, why would someone write hurtful things about someone?"
"…because they're low lives, Austin forget about it, okay?"
That's the thing, I can't forget about it. School is going to be impossible to get through, I wish that I could skip school and reply to all those messages. Some of them are offending and like two percent of them are actually nice.
Ally's POV;
Austin's parents came home with a takeaway. If Dad found out that I was eating this sort of food I would be in a lot of trouble and I mean A LOT. Austin's parents are so nice, I like talking to them. I'm glad that they like me! They think that I've made a huge impact on Austin. I think they meant it in a good way anyway. Austin's dad didn't speak to my dad today, thankfully, but he thanked Dallas for saving Austin. Austin didn't even tell his parents about him being bullied online which really frustrated me, he must be really scared. He shouldn't be though, it's not like his parents are going to call him a wimp or anything. Can you get cyber bullied by your dad because these text messages keep flying in. I don't know what to do with them, I want to change my number but when he sees me again he's going to beg me into giving him my new number and it will happen again.
