Please review guys!
Disclaimer: I do not own Austin and Ally.
"Ally can I come in?" Dez asks. I don't answer and he takes that as a yes. Suddenly I feel a rush of anger. I don't know why. I spin around while still laying on my bed. I grab a pillow and whack it straight at him. "You knew? Didn't you?" I seethe.
Dez gets taken a back, but soon realizes what I mean, and sighs. "Yeah." He says as if admitting defeat.
"Why didn't you tell me?!" I ask, my voice raised.
He takes a seat next to me on the bed. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. It's just that, mom and dad were really shaken after all this happened. I found out today! That's what mom and dad told me at breakfast, you know before you came. That's why I was acting a little off. I know mom and dad are forcing you, and I know their wrong but Ally think about it…" He explains.
"Wait. So you want me to go through with this?" I ask taken aback.
"No! I mean yes. I mean…I'm just saying that mom and dad are really upset, and they probably didn't tell you this but…" He stops and lowers his voice. "Dad took a loan, from a powerful man named Jack Ford, he was gonna repay it but he lost the money. Well actually the money was stolen. And if he doesn't repay it…He could be in danger." Dez says shakily. I gulp. Is this really true?
"You're kidding?" I ask hoping this is all just some joke, and will be over soon. Dez shakes his head.
"I'm sorry Ally. I really am. And I know you don't like Austin—"
I scoff, "That's an understatement." I interrupt. He glares at me which quiets me down.
"Anyway, I know you don't like Austin and he isn't too fond of you either. But this is for our parents, for dad. And yeah a week ago you hated them, but they love you and I promise you that they are hurting inside from doing this to you. Ally all I'm saying is to think about it…" He says calmly.
I sigh hopelessly, "Can't they make another way to make money!" I cry desperately. Dez has a point. Would I want dad to get hurt? No. Heck to the no. Even if in order to do that, I'd have to marry Austin…? I don't know. I just-I just wish I never came here. I wish that I never opened that stupid letter, I wish that I had never talked to Dez on the phone. I wish this never happened.
Dez shakes his head, "Just think about it. Alright?" He says calmly. He kisses my head and pulls me into a hug. My eyes start to sting and my head starts to get drowsy. I let some few tears slip and Dez pulls away. "Don't cry, Ally-Cat." He says frantically wiping my cheeks. I smile at his attempts.
"Thanks Dez."
Scene Change
I yawn as I wake up. My head's blurry, and my eyes are dried with tears. Slowly last night's agonizing events fall back in me and I instantly feel horrible. I still won't marry him. I can't. I just…can't.
I slowly get ready and tip toe my way downstairs. The halls are quiet…too quiet…Anyway, I slowly peek into the kitchen. No one. I make my way to the living room. No one. The dining room. No one. I sigh aggravated and slowly walk down the halls…. "Ah!" I shriek jumping two feet in the air, as I come face to face with a figure.
"Sh! Calm down! It's me. Austin." He whispers grabbing both my hands to prevent me from hitting him. Oh. My eyebrows furrow and I snatch my hands away.
"What the heck are you doing here at 6 in the morning?!" I ask.
"I could ask you the same thing." He retaliates smiling with a raised eyebrow.
"I live here." I deadpan with a raised eyebrow.
His face falls, "Oh…right." He says clearing his throat. Obviously he's not the one with the brains.
"Okay seriously what are you doing here?" I ask in no mood for fun and games.
"I needed to talk to you." He says.
I sigh, "About what?" I ask.
He looks around slowly from side to side before leaning in closer, I grimace at our closeness. "I can't talk here, even the walls have eyes." He whispers still looking around paranoid. "Here come with me." He says.
I roll my eyes at his childish behavior but follow him anyway. Although I don't know why. He opens the door and I notice how he keeps it open for me like a gentleman. We go outside where the sun is just about to rise. It looks absolutely beautiful. I smile taking in the countryside view. After a while of walking in silence Austin finally stops. Guess where? The tree house. Our tree house. "Our" meaning me, Dez, and Austin's of course. Not just Austin and I…you know…okay I'm just gonna shut up know. Anyway, I take a look at it. It hasn't changed at all. I'm surprised no one cut it down, or how it's in such good shape. I look at him only to find him staring back at me. "Why did you take me here?" I ask.
He rolls his eyes, not in an annoyed way but in a "what am I gonna do with you?" kinda way. "C'mon let's go." He says while starting to climb the tree. I sigh and look down at my attire. A pink tank top, some yoga pants, and flip flops. Not the best thing to wear when you climb a tree.
I climb anyway and soon I make it to the top. "Slowpoke." Austin mutters. I shoot him a glare and slap his chest. He sighs as he takes a seat enjoying the view of the sunrise. I take a seat next to him.
"So what did you need to say?" I ask impatiently.
"Did they tell you?" He asks. I realize that "They" means my parents.
"If you're asking if my parents told me I have to marry you. Then yes, they did tell me." I say bitterly.
He nods, "Did you agree?" He asks.
I scoff, "We hate each other, course I said no." I shoot rolling my eyes.
He nods again, "I felt bad though." He says. I look at him in confusion.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
He sighs, "I was so angry at them, I said some stuff I shouldn't have. And they definitely didn't deserve it. I made my mother cry. Do you know how that feels?" He asks frustrated. I wanted to say, "Yes I do." But I didn't interrupt him. "I just wish that this never happened. You know. I just don't know what to do. For the first time in my life, I have to make a decision. A real one. All my life I've been the rich kid, I never had a choice, I got what I wanted. But know…" He says wistfully trailing off. I suddenly feel bad for the guy. He's always had a shoulder helping him but know that shoulder is making him choose against himself or his happiness.
"I know how you feel. I really don't know what to do…" I mumble.
He shrugs, and we fall into a silence. We don't even notice each other's presence, we just ponder on our own situations. My phone buzzes, which disrupts the silence. Austin snaps out, and I check my phone to see a text from Dez.
Where are you?! Mom and dad are going berserk! Help.
I smile and shoot a text back while Austin gets up. "Well I better go home to." He says.
I nod, "Yeah." I mumble not knowing what to say.
He passes me and climbs down the tree house. "Hey princess!" He calls, from the ground. I walk over to the small window.
"Yeah?" I ask.
He grins, "This doesn't change anything between us right? Still enemies?" He asks.
I roll me eyes, "Course, wouldn't want it any other way." I say meaning every word. He smiles and salutes while turning around and running away.
Okay let's just backtrack for a moment. Did me and Austin just have a civilized conversation without biting each other's throat?
Ew…
