Hey guys, so I, R54EverAuslly wrote this. Can I just say that we are already ten chapters in and it gets more scarier than this?! I hope you enjoy it!
Teen-Idol and I do not own anything. Just the story line and some made up characters.
Chapter 10—No Turning Back
Ally couldn't believe what she just heard come out of her mother's mouth. She also didn't know what upset and shocked her even more. The fact that Penny is sending her away again, or the fact that she just said someone, who she doesn't even know, wants to kill her. It was all so messed up for her. She had come back to Miami in hopes of starting over with a clean slate, but clearly that dream had been impossible from the beginning. Could you blame her though? I mean, she was sent away to live in California with her Aunt because of some unknown reason, which she had only learned of a few minutes ago, she's had to try and live without the one man that fully understood her, and now this?
Let's just say she has learned to cope well with what life throws her way.
"Woah, what?" Ally held her hands up to stop everyone moving around. "He wants to kill me?"
"Afraid so dear, but I'm sure that if you start packing now and leave in an hour you can go away for a few days and they would have diss—"
Ally cut her mother off rudely, not caring for her matters at the moment, before the woman could continue on speaking. "No. I refuse to move and leave you again, especially now I that know everything! I just came back here a few months ago and now I have to leave? No. I absolutely refuse to go." She folded her arms across her chest defiantly.
"Ally, I'm sorry, but agree with your mum, we have to go," Austin said to the angry brunette. "For your safety as well as your mum's."
Trish nodded, along with Dez. "It's true Lee," Trish replied, using her nickname for Ally. "We have to get out of here for, a couple days. It's for the best. If they know you're with Penny ...who knows what they'll try to do?"
"I'm with your mum too Ally. If it'll be safer for you as well as your mum, so you may as well go ahead with it." The redhead said, forwarding his opinion too.
Penny began to walk over to her daughter, face calm and serene, yet full of an indescribable sadness at having to lose her daughter yet again. "You have to go again sweetie. I'll be fine, I promise. I have the man I told you about; I'll stay with him for a few days. I'll be safe, too. I don't care where you go, just please go. It'll keep you safe. Plus, you have Austin, Trish and Dez with you, nothing will happen and I won't freak out every ten minutes knowing that you are okay."
"Mum, ple—" Ally tried protesting, but it didn't as she was cut off.
"Ally, you have to go." Penny said sternly. "This is for your safety, and that always comes first. There is no arguing here. You have to go. End of discussion."
The other three adolescents nodded their heads in agreement.
"Come on Ally. Please?" Austin grabbed her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
Ally didn't know what to say. She was actually a little shocked all her best friends had decided against her, to be honest. Of course she wants to keep her mother safe, and she wants to stay alive, she just wanted to do the two things at the same time, with her mum by her side. She hates to run, because it feels like she is running from her problems, and she hates being a coward. But if running away means the difference between her getting killed and staying alive and all in one piece, then she'll go.
After moving all of her thoughts to back of her head, she looked around at everyone and finally gave in, sighing dejectedly. Without saying a word to anyway, she slumped past them, kind of like she had something heavy on her feet weighing her down, and began to make her way up to her room.
Penny sighed and looked at the other three teenagers. "Thank you so much. I really wanted to try and keep this from her. It was stupid; I know it was and I know it was all going to come back. A part of me was just hoping it wouldn't and I and she would be able to live in peace." Penny looked down as she wiped her hands on the top of her trousers.
All going to come back... The words repeated in Austin's mind continuously, almost like a mantra. Where had he heard them before? He was positive he had heard them from someone recently. But he wasn't able to figure out whom and was bugging him so much; he was nearly pulling his hair out.
"It's okay Penny, I'll do anything to keep Lee safe. Other than these two, I've had no one." Trish commented, smiling sadly.
The elderly woman smiled back at the raven haired girl. "I just hope everything will settle itself out and Randy will give up. And this will all finally be over."
"We want that too." Dez spoke.
"Dallas! That's where I heard it!" Austin shouted in relief, scaring the others and making them jump.
Dez looked at his best friend worriedly. "What the hell are you on? Drugs? Alcohol? Cocaine?!"
"No, Dez. I'm not on drugs or ...any of those things…. I meant that I heard Dallas say to Ally once 'Everything is going to come back.' Remember, before Ally and that idiot starting dating?" Austin stated, but everyone looked at him confused, signaling him to continue and explain because they weren't getting it.
"You know when he was asking Ally out?" They looked at him bluntly, like they knew absolutely nothing and like he had grown a horn on his head. Austin rolled his eyes in annoyance."You know? When he mentioned 'Mind blowing time machine'? He was talking about going back to the past! Clearly stating and hinting at what happened with Randy."
There was a second of silence, and then it was as if light bulbs of memory went off inside the two teenagers' heads.
"Oh yeah! I remember!" They both commented in unison.
"Wait, Dallas told Ally they had a past?" Penny interjected.
"Yeah, something about when they were younger, but Ally didn't seem to remember." Dez said to her.
Penny shook her head and cursed mentally. "It's because it never did. They're trying to gang up and get her quicker than I thought. You all have to go. Now."
Just as she commented this, Ally walked down the stairs with two suitcases, and about four big duffle bags in hand. "Will this be enough?" She asked. "It's not just mine, its all of ours. We have a week and half's worth of clothes." She stated calmly, but you could tell she had been crying. Ally was talking like there was a lump in her throat, and the wet tear stains marked on her cheeks didn't go unmissed. Once she had put the bags down, she sighed.
"Where are we going to go?" She questioned when no one else spoke.
"Maybe drive at least seven hours away?" Penny replied. "I don't know what they're expecting from us, but you should probably be safe that far away."
"And what about eating? Where are we going to stay? I don't want to go stay with Aunt Julia again, as much as I love Cali. And I still want to stay in Florida. At least try to anyway."
Penny went over to her bag not speaking a word, and took out an envelope. "This was the money your father tried to save up to make a million dollars, but once he died, I thought I would give it to you when you wanted to start a life on your own. But I guess having to leave for a while counts too." She tried to joke about it, but nobody laughed.
Ally looked at her mum shocked. "How much is in here?"
Penny smiled at her daughter, quickly replying, "More than enough. Now, quick goodbyes are easier. They hurt less. And you really need to be on your way. As much as I don't want you to leave, you have to. Now."
The woman pulled Ally in for a hug, as Austin, Trish and Dez grabbed the bags and some refreshments from the kitchen. The brunette and her mum were both in tears, not wanting to pull away from the tight embrace, but soon had to because of the departure.
"Have you got your phone chargers, and everything else?"
"Yes, mum." Ally sniffled, a few stray tears streaming down her cheek.
"Good. Please be careful, sweetie," Penny said hugging her daughter one last time. "I love you so much, sweetheart." Penny wiped away a few tears.
Ally took a deep breath and replied, "I love you too," in nothing but a whisper as she followed Trish and Dez out the door.
"What about our parents? Won't they be worried when we don't come home?" Trish questioned at the door way.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of it all. Just go, and be safe."
"Okay. Good bye Mrs. Dawson." The Latina and redhead muttered quietly, stepping outside.
"Austin," Penny called the blonde back before he could exit. "Please look after her ...if anything happens, I have no one else."
Austin hugged the crying woman, "I promise."
Then he left out the door leaving Penny crying in her living room, all alone again. She was devastated at losing her daughter. But she knew it was for her safety and wellbeing. Penny couldn't underestimate Randy and what tricks he had up his sleeve.
But at least Ally would be safe, right?
They had been on the road for about half an hour, with nothing but complete silence in the car. Ally hasn't spoken a word, Trish and Dez are just really fazed in it all, and Austin is trying really hard and desperately not to turn around and knock the crap out of Dallas. He hates seeing Ally broken, and especially since it's partly his fault for not being there for her and seeing the signs of Dallas being extremely dangerous.
And not him just being a bad guy because he was jealous.
It was almost five o'clock, and nothing had happened since the delivery guy had attacked. However, there still continued to be a tense atmosphere in the small car. Ally was still trying to take everything in still, processing it all through her head and trying to understand exactly what her mother had told her about her entire life and her father's. However, nothing seemed to be working out or making any sense. It was like she was using a broken calculator trying to add it all up.
"Um, Ally?" A shaken Trish asks from the back seat.
"Yeah?" She whispered, turning her head around slowly to face her best friend.
"There is seven hundred thousand dollars in this envelope."
"What?!" The brunette screeched.
Then it happened, all too quickly.
The smoke.
The bang.
The loud noises of a car.
The accident.
