Chapter Ten

ALLY'S POV

I heard a knock on my door. "Ally-cat, I have some good new, can I come in?"

"Sure." I said. "So what's the good news?"

"Well Mrs. Moon called."

"Austin's mom?" I asked, than he nodded.

"She said that Austin was very upset by the news about us moving. He told her that they had to figure something out because he didn't be separated from you. We discussed how it was your senior year and we know how hard it must be for you. Austin has a sister named Rydel and she's excited to share a room with you." My dad told me with a smile.

"Wait, so I get to stay in Miami? I can live with Austin and his family?" I was so happy! I can't wait!

"Yeah, Mrs. Moon and I trust you two."

"Thanks Dad!" I hugged him.

"You move in in two weeks. Oh and Austin is down stairs, he came to see you." I ran right down the stairs. I saw Austin and gave him a huge hug.

"Austin, you did it! Thank you!"

"I couldn't let you move away Als." He said with a warm smile.

"I don't know what I would do without you Austin."

"I know Ally and I honestly can't live with out you, that's why I had to get my mom to agree to let you stay."

"Austin, but what happens next year? When I want to go to Julliard or one of my back up colleges?" I said in a more serious tone.

"We'll worry about that when the time comes. Let's live for right now." He was right. I don't want to ruin a good moment.

Two weeks later I was getting my stuff settled in to me and Rydel's room.

"I'm really happy you're stay here. First of all, there are too many boys in this house. I've always wanted a sister." Rydel told me referring to the fact that she has four brothers. "Also, I know it makes Austin happy that you are staying. I know he would have been devastated. I've never seen him fall so hard for a girl before. If Austin likes you, then you're good with him. Just don't hurt him. He may seem confident and strong but you don't know what a broke heart will do to him. That one day he thought you were moving he passed on pancakes. We thought he was sick or something."

"I would never hurt Austin. I'm happy you're letting me stay, thank you so much." I told her.

"Don't worry about it. This is going to be fun. Oh, and you can talk to me about anything. Well except for maybe about make out sessions with Austin, that's a bit awkward." She laughed. I laughed too.

"Thanks, I will."

Living with Austin and his family was great. They were so funny. They all get along so well. I never had that, since I'm an only child. The only thing I didn't get was where Austin's dad was. I never saw him, he never came to any meals, no one talked about him, but I knew Austin had a father and I don't remember their parents been divorced. Austin always talked about how his dad would bother him about his music career once he came home from concerts or writing a song with me. I wanted to ask Austin but I wasn't sure if something bad happened. What if he gets upset? Maybe I should ask Rydel. She said I could talk to her about anything, with a few exceptions. Before bed one night I decided to bring it up with her.

"Rydel, I don't mean to be noisy or anything I just don't know who to ask." I said.

"Go ahead, ask away." She looked curious, but before I could say anything it looked like she got an idea about what I was going to say. "Wait. You want to know what happened to our dad don't you?" I nodded.

"Our dad was always against everything us kids would tell him about. Like a new boyfriend, a new girlfriend, a new club at school, a new sport team, anything. He wanted us to focus on one thing. Taking over his business when we were finished college. We knew we could never talk to him about any of that stuff; even what it was the stuff that was making us the happiest. Austin and our dad never really got along ever since Austin decided to go into the music industry. They would fight all the time about music, Austin's future, and well, you. When Austin came home upset about you having to move our dad was happy. He said that maybe with Austin's music partner gone that he could finally get back to the real world. My mom was furious but this comment. She couldn't take his negativity and the way he was treating us anymore. She told Austin you could move in with us and that's when my dad freaked out. He said that if you moved in that he was going to leave. We had never seen Austin get so upset before he told our dad that he could just leave because he wasn't going to lose the girl of his dreams for the man who is always crushing them. That's when we all realized that we wouldn't care if he left. As you can see we've been getting a long great and always having a good time around here. It was never like that before. Ever since he left and you came here our family has been closer than ever. My mom is getting all the divorce paper's finalized and she couldn't be happier. I know what you are going to say. That you are sorry that you split us up, but Ally we have never been happier. If anything you saved this family. Most importantly, you saved Austin." By the end of that Rydel and I were both in tears.

"I'll be right back." I told her before making my way to Austin's room. I knocked.

"Come in Ally." I heard him say. I walked in; he was sitting on his bed with his shorts and no shirt on.

"How did you know it was me?" I asked.

"No one else in this family would have knocked on the door." He laughed.

"Oh."

"Are you okay Ally?" I guess he could see that I had been crying. "Come here." He pulled me onto his lap and hugged me.

"Austin, why didn't you tell me about your dad? By the way, I'm really sorry about everything that happened. You should have just let me go move to Washington, so your family could stick together. I know Rydel said you guys were happier now but maybe you could have worked at it or something. Austin, I'm sorry." I said through my tears.

"Ally, don't be sorry. We couldn't have worked it out. He is stubborn and honestly none of us miss him. My mom just regrets saying with him for so long and putting all of us through that. I'm the one who should be sorry. I should have told you. I didn't because I knew you would something crazy like that. I would never let you leave me. Especially not for the sake of that man. I love you Ally." He leaned down and kissed me.

"I love you too Austin." I kissed him again than went back to me and Rydel's room. She was asleep so I decided to just get into bed.

That night I went to bed thinking about how grateful I am for Austin. I can't believe him and his family sacrificed so much for me.

AUSTIN'S POV

I feel bad about Ally. It really isn't her fault. I don't want her to feel like it is. My family is actually at it's best right now. I'm so grateful that my mom finally decided to divorce him. I know you aren't supposed to be happy when your parents divorce but I am. I put up with him and his criticism for all these years, but when he criticized Ally I absolutely couldn't stand him. I love Ally; I might even marry her someday. He is not ruining that.
