Happy New Year as well and I wish for your luck and health. Please feel free to review they make me happy! And let us get to it...

Ally's P.O.V.

Austin and I just sat on the couch watching Modern Family. I glanced over to him to study him. He had a couple of bruises and of course that cast but other than that, he stared intently and the television with full attention, lightly chuckling at the silly parts in the show. I on the other hand, couldn't stay focused. So much had happened in the past hours, all so quickly. It also wasn't really helpful with the fact that prom was coming up in a week or so and I was a nervous wreck. I still couldn't believe Dallas asked me in the first place!

"Do you want anything to drink, Austin?" I asked breaking the silence. He pulled his head away from the screen and studied me. I immediately became self conscious for I hadn't brushed my hair in 5 hours and my mascara was probably lightly coloring the bottom of my eye from my faint tears.

He nodded his head vigorously, but slowly started to walk over to me. "Could you make chicken nuggets?" He asked, sounding like an extreme child. I nodded to head over to the refrigerator,"The dinosaur kind!" He shouted. I turned around and gave him a questioning look. His face immediately turned bright red and he just shrugged and went up the stairs, probably to get something.

"Okay let's see," I said opening up the freezer to find the the pouch that contained his desired lunch," Ah, here it is." I then put them in the microwave and pressed the button to set it to 3 minutes. I then heard steps coming down the stairs.

"Are you making them yet?" He asked nonchalantly, but still a hint of excitement in his voice. I turned to smile at him, to say yes but I froze. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and just grey sweatpants. I stared for like 3 seconds before he turned around.

"Yes I am." I stated. He smiled back and sat back on the couch. I started to think about Austin and how I thought he was an annoying child but then I heard a beeping noise. Oh nuggets!

Dusk already fell and it was quite dark outside, and chilly. Don't get me wrong I mean, Miami is very hot during the day but at night it can get pretty cold. I was going up the stairs to get some sheets to put on the couch but then I realized, I didn't bring any clothes! My face fell and I knew I couldn't go back to my house because my dad wasn't home and I didn't bother to get the key because I knew I was going to stay with Austin to take care of him.

"Is everything alright?" A voice asked from behind me. I whipped around to find Austin with a worried look on his face.

"Oh yeah everything is just, peachy," I sounded crazy, trying to hide the anger in my voice," I guess it just slipped my mind to bring any, clothes. And I don't have a key." The peppiness already leaving my voice. I gritted my teeth. I felt so stupid.

"You can just wear one of my t-shirts they won't probably fit you, though. Then tomorrow we can get you some more clothes." He said hopefully. Me, borrow Austin's shirt? I mean it wasn't a big deal, actually. Yeah, it wasn't.

"Um thanks." He then went upstairs and brought me one of his shirts. I smiled at him and he let me be.

I changed and I stared in the downstairs bathroom mirror. It was a green t-shirt with the front cover of the Beatles album, Abbey Road. I never knew he liked the Beatles, I though.

He was right though, it didn't fit me at all. I was a pretty small girl with skinny arms, and really small frame. The shirt went to about my knees and the sleeves were long, well at least for me.

I plopped down on the couch and turned on the television. Watching a Disney show called Alexander and Alison. It was a cute show on how music can bring two people together.

All of a sudden the television flickered off, then the lights. My first instinct was to go outside and it seemed to be the power went out. The street was completely dark. At first I was shocked but I've lived through multiple power outages in my life. I sat back down and just played on my phone. Then I heard thuds and saw Austin running down the stairs. He sat down on the couch with me and grabbed his knees and buried his face in his knees. I let my eyes focus and then I heard some sniffling.

"A-Austin are you, okay?" I inquired. He wouldn't budge. Then it came to me, he was afraid of the dark.

"Oh my god." I scooched over to him to soothe him. I drew invisible circles on his back until his breathing steadied. We stayed like that, in pure silence, for 5 minutes. Then 10. Then 30. Then an hour until finally the lights flickered on and off. He reluctantly stood up and cleared his throat. He brushed himself off. I chuckled lightly.

"What's so funny?" His voice cracked and I couldn't take it. I bursted into giggle fits and couldn't breathe. Austin just glared at me and I piped down. He just glared for 1 minute before lunging towards me, catching me off guard, tickling me.

"A-Aust-HAHAHAH-tin s-sto-stop!" I exclaimed. I kicked him off and he just smirked.

"Night Dawson."

"Night Moon." Then silence, but he still wouldn't move upstairs.

"Ally?" He asked with a little shyness.

"Yeah?"

"Thanks for staying with me."

"No problem." I stated. Then I saw his figure limp upstairs struggling with his crutches. I laid down, and felt my eyes flutter til they shut.

"Okay Ally pick out some clothes." He took me into Old Navy and let me get some apparel for my stay.

"Ooh this is cute!" I said holding up fringe shorts. He shrugged and went off. I frowned.

After an armful of clothes we finally made it to the checkout box.

"That will be $70." The lady said. I began to pull out my wallet when Austin carefully dropped the money on the table, he was still in utter pain.

Before I could protest we were out of the store and into the Miami Mall.

"Austin, I could have paid you know."

"I know but I wanted to, and I am feeling nice today so." He shrugged. We walked for a while and then we stopped. Piper was running up to us. When I say us I mean Austin.

She was wearing a short, pink romper with flowers imprinted on it and brown leather sandals. She practically through herself at Austin, not even noticing the crutches he had. I heard a faint squeak come from Austin. Piper couldn't be dumber.

"Austy, I missed you. I heard you got into a car accident." She said, but it was muffled because he was peppering his face with kisses. She pulled away and his face had lipstick marks. I stifled a laugh, he looked ridiculous.

"I missed you too baby." He said back, but it lacked enthusiasm. Piper than turned in my direction and studied me.

"What are you doing here?" She asked through her teeth, with the most fake smile I had ever seen.

"She was there at the hospital," he said," She is staying with me to help me out." I swear, he mumbled the last part. Her face grew red with anger.

"Well I can stay with you. Ally let me do you a favor, I will stay with Austin and you could go back to your, pathetic little home and live your sad life." Then before I could say anything, Austin was being dragged away. With the bags of clothes.

From the distance I was Piper snatch the clothes away from Austin's fragile hand and kissed him, thinking they were for her. Idiot.

Since I couldn't be at my house, I stayed at Trish's. I had a lot of clothes there from our previous sleepovers.

"Then she just, took him away?" She scoffed, not believing what Piper had done. I nodded.

"Sometimes I wonder if Austin even really, likes her. She seems a lot more excited about him than she is. I think he would be more excited to find a coupon." Trish said again. We both laughed.

"Well, I guess."

"Has he said anything about her in your guy's tutoring sessions?" Trish asked.

"No, not really." I stated.

A couple of hours passed and we merely just talked about school, Piper being annoying, and then prom came up.

"I still can't believe Dallas asked you!" She squealed.

"I know I can't either! I mean he's so, oooh ahhh, and I'm so, ehh blah." I said hoping she would understand my silly analogies.

"Are you kidding me! Ally Dawson take that back! You are beautiful. Your hair is always on point, you have a nice smile, and a great personality!" Trish practically yelled at me.

"Woah woah, relax." I said putting my hands in the air. Trish chuckled.

"TRISH! ALLY! FOOD IS READY!" We heard Trish's mom, Linda, holler. She was a very nice woman, but she also had that Latina fire.

"Ugh your mom is such a great cook, Trish," I complimented.

"I know right." Trish glanced at her digital clock which rested on her nightstand. It read 9:55pm.

"It's pretty late and tomorrow is Monday. We have school tomorrow we should get some rest." I said. Trish nodded and went to change into her Pjs.

We just talked for a little while longer until we finally decided to turn out the lights.

It was dark. Then I thought of Austin and how he shivered when the lights went out.

"Hey Trish?"

"Yeah Ally?" She asked seeming a little worried.

"Actually," I hesitated,"nevermind." Trish shrugged and I heard her snoring almost immediately.

I wanted to talk about how I felt when Austin touched me and how I felt when he was around me so badly. But as you can tell, I decided against it.
