Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally.

It's been a while, hasn't it? No I did not forget about the story and I plan on continuing it whenever I can. I hope to finish this thing someday. Anyway, here is chapter 9! Hope you guys enjoy, leave a review and tell me what you think!


My alarm woke me up. I groggily sat up and stretched, then glanced around the room. I climbed out of my bed and exited my room. I yawned as I walked towards the bathroom to take a shower. I didn't get to sleep until late last night, which was a stupid thing to do considering I have work today. Hopefully a warm shower will wake me up a little bit.

After a quick shower which indeed woke me up, I made my way to the kitchen. Darrel and Dez were sitting at the table, eating breakfast and talking.

Dez noticed me and pointed to the seat next to him. "Don't worry, we made you some breakfast too."

I glanced beside him and saw a plate with eggs and bacon. I thanked them and sat down beside Dez.

"When did Logan leave?" I asked my 2 friends.

"He left a few minutes before you woke up." Darrel answered.

"Son of a bitch didn't even say goodbye." I added jokingly.

"Yes he did, just not to you." Dez said with a grin.

"Come on buddy, lets face it, we're just more important than you." Darrel joined in on Dez's joke.

"Oh ha-ha." I replied, rolling my eyes.

Darrel stood up and placed his plate in the sink. "I'm serious, now finish you're food child. Don't wanna be late for work now do we?"

"No mother." I said.

Darrel walked over to me with a big smile, then pinched my cheek and said. "That's a good boy!"

I smacked his hand away and narrowed my eyes. "Mom, not in front of my friends!" I said, continuing our joke.

"Oh I'm sure he doesn't mind," Darrel said, then turned to look at Dez. "Right De- YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Darrel suddenly yelled, catching me off guard. I turned to look at Dez and my eyes widened. There he sat with his phone, recording us.

Darrel snatched for Dez's phone, but Dez moved away. He hopped out of his chair, I hopped out of mine, then me and Darrel proceeded to chase Dez out of our house and straight to work. I'm serious, we chased Dez all the way to work, where he ran around the shop with us chasing him.

Finally he ran around the counter. Darrel was in the middle of hopping over the counter while I went around the side to catch him. Leaving him with nowhere to run.

As we were about to catch him, our boss exited his office and stopped us. "What are you guys doing!" He shouted at us.

Dez and me froze, but Darrel didn't. Darrel took the opportunity to tackle Dez up against the wall and shouted back. "Oh nothing, just taking care of business boss!"

I reached into Dez's jacket pocket and took out his phone. I unlocked it and proceeded to delete the video from his phone. "I deleted the video, you can let him go now Darrel."

Darrel released Dez and I handed back his phone. Dez then said, "You guys are no fun."

"I know buddy." Darrel replied, then added. "But pull something like that again and I'll kill you, mkay?"

"Calm your tits." Dez responded with a chuckle.

"My tits can't be calm when it comes to you." Darrel copied Dez from last night.

"Touche sir, touche." Dez said with a nod.

Someone cleared their throat and we turned to see who it was. The person was our boss, who had an amused smile on his face. "I don't know what just happened, but it's about time to open shop. So get to work."

Darrel saluted our boss and shouted, "Yes sir!" Then we got straight to work.

A while later, me and the guys took a break.

We went outside so Darrel could smoke a cigarette. He bummed a cigarette and a lighter off our boss even though me and Dez protested. He didn't listen.

As we exited the store, Darrel lit up the cigarette and took a long drag. He then blew out the smoke and leaned against the wall, we all did. We made small talk, mainly about the rumble. The 4 of us are the only ones who knew, but Darrel and Logan would inform everyone else later.

Suddenly my phone went off. I pulled it out of my pocket and noticed that Ally messaged me.

From Ally:

Hey Blondie, look across the street would ya? :D

I curiously glanced up from my screen and across the street. To my surprise I saw Ally and Trish waving at me. I smiled and said, "Aye guys, looks like we got company." That got Dez and Darrel's attention. I pointed across the street and their eyes followed. I waved them over and in no time they were standing in front of us.

"Whatcha doing here?" I asked them as they approached us.

"We didn't have work today so we decided to take a walk. It just so happens that we stumbled across your workplace." Ally replied.

I nodded and Darrel said jokingly, "Sheesh, 2 pretty North girls walking alone down in Marino Territory? Not such a good idea, never know what people down here are capable of yanno." Ally blushed but crossed her arms over her chest and looked away. Trish rolled her eyes and didn't bother replying. Darrel blinked and added, "What? Did I say something?"

Dez slung his arm over Darrel's shoulder and said grinning, "Yanno Darrel, you acted like quite the child yesterday. Don't you think you owe Ally here a little apology?"

Darrel scoffed and elbowed Dez on the gut. Dez removed his arm and clutched his gut. Darrel then replied, "I'm not one for apologizing..." His eyes then shifted to mine. I gave him a stern look and Darrel sighed, "..But I'm sorry for yesterday, I was just a little angry is all. Forgive me?"

Ally looked at him and nodded. "All is forgiven, what about you Trish?" Ally asked her friend.

Trish just shrugged her shoulders and said, "Yeah, whatever."

I clapped my hands together and smiled. "So, what's the plan for today?"

"You already know mine and Logan's." Darrel responded.

"I was actually wondering if we could come over and hang out?" Ally asked me.

I turned and looked at Dez. He shrugged, "I'm fine with that, it's not like I could say no anyway. It's your house."

I then looked at Darrel. "Will you be joining us after you're done?"

"Yeah, me and Logan will most likely drop by. Not like we have anything else to do. But you bet your ass I'm picking up and bringing some booze." Darrel replied.

"No objections here." I said, Dez agreeing with me.

"Oh, well I don't-" Ally started, but Trish cut her off.

"We getting shitfaced? Oh yeah, I'm totally fine with that." Trish added excitedly.

"Drink.." Ally finished, a worried look on her face.

"You don't have to drink if you don't want to." I assured her, then added, "As for you Trish, if you want to get shitfaced, go for it."

She nodded and said, "Will do sir, will do."

At that moment our boss walked out and spotted us. "Yo guys, time to get back to work!" His eyes then settled on the girls and he continued with, "Who are they?"

"Ally." I pointed at Ally. "Trish." I then pointed at Trish. "Just some friends." I deadpanned. I watched Darrel toss the cigarette down and put it out with his foot. Then we said our goodbyes to the girls and got back to work.

After Work

After work was over, we said goodbye to our boss and walked home. When we reached my house, Logan was waiting for us. Logan and Darrel then took off to inform everyone about the upcoming rumble, but promised they would be back after they were done. Logan also informed us that the girls were inside waiting for us. We entered my house and spotted the girls on the couch.

Ally looked over her shoulder and smiled. "Welcome home boys!"

I chuckled and said, "Never thought I'd have someone welcoming me into my own home."

Ally rolled her eyes and returned her gaze to the TV. I plopped down onto the chair while Dez went to make food. After he got back, he sat cross legged on the floor. We ended up signing into my Netflix account and watching anything we could find. We watched horrible movies and made fun of them. We watched comedy movies and laughed our asses off. We watched horror movies in which Ally was scared shitless. We watched a little bit of everything by the time Darrel and Logan got back.

It was nearing nighttime and as soon as Darrel closed the door, he entered the living room and set whatever he bought on the table.

"Once again, we are getting shitfaced." Darrel said with a grin, already with a bottle in hand.

"What else is new?" Logan spoke up, grabbing one for himself.

I got one for myself and sat next to Ally, who was looking a little nervous. "You don't have to if you don't want to." I reminded her.

She swallowed the lump in her throat and said determinedly, "Give me one."

"You sure?" I said, my eyes wide in surprise.

"Yes, I'm sure." She confirmed.

"Alrighty then." I reached for another bottle, opened it, and handed it to her. "Have at it."

Ally took a deep breath and brought the bottle to her lips. Before she could take a drink, she lowered the bottle and said, "If it takes like crap, I'll spit it at you."

"In that case, I'm just gunna..." I didn't finish, I just hurriedly hopped off the couch and scooted a few feet away.

She laughed and then brought the bottle back to her lips. She then took a small drink, grimacing slightly at the taste.

"How was it?" I asked her.

"It wasn't the best thing ever, but it wasn't bad either." She responded. I nodded and sat beside her once again. We then continued to drink the night away. Within the next hour or so, Ally was drunk.

She was leaning against me and laughing. When she spoke, it was hard to understand her. Ally's words were slurred and to be honest, it was quite amusing. Finally though, I decided she had enough. I took the half empty bottle from her hand and helped her up. I then lead her to my bedroom, making sure she didn't stumble into anything or trip. Once we were there, I had her lay down and tucked her in.

I whispered, "Goodnight Als." Turned off the light and then left her to sleep peacefully.

I entered the living room once more and plopped down onto the chair. After a few minutes Trish asked, "Where's Ally?" Her words were slightly slurred as well.

"I made her go to bed. She was way drunk." I replied.

Trish stood up from the couch and yawned. "Yeah, Imma hit the hay as well. Night guys." She then walked towards my bedroom to go to bed.

Dez shook his head with a chuckle. "I like how they don't even ask if they're allowed to stay."

We all laughed and continued on drinking for the second night in a row. Eventually Logan passed out, then Dez, then me and Darrel. Another good night down, hopefully many more to come.
