Here's new chapter for you, guys. I hope you will enjoy it, it took me almost a week to write it. Here it is :)
Austin's POV
I was sleeping dreamlessly when my phone rang. I pulled it out of my pocket and looked at the caller's ID. It was Dez. I wonder why he would call.
"Get your lazy ass out of the bed, I have something important to tell you." Was the first thing I heard today. Very nice.
"Well, good morning to you too." I said in a raspy voice still trying to get out of the sheets.
"I'm sorry. But I need you to come over as soon as you can." Dez said in a bit calmer tone.
"Why? What happened?" I was worried. What would be so serious?
"I'll tell you personally, come to my office."
"OK, Bye." I got up and that was when I realized I didn't change into pajamas last night. I put my phone on the bed and went to bathroom. I looked terrible. My face was pale, I had bags under my eyes and my hair was an indescribable mess. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. Then I fixed my hair and went back to my bedroom. I grabbed my phone and headed to the door. Ally! She wasn't anywhere to be seen so I assumed she was still sleeping. I drove to the police station as fast as I could cause I was really curious.
I ran though the hall to Dez's office. The closer I was, the more curious I got. I ran in without knocking.
"So.. what's the emergency?"
"Better sit down. I have some serious bed news." I better did as he said, it must be really bad.
"So... here's what happened. I got a message today that Elliott might be released."
"What?" I immediately stood up from the chair and my blood started boiling.
"Let me talk. His dad works in the government and he said that he doesn't want a scandal. He said we have to follow his command of we're all fired." Shit, this is really, REALLY bad.
"But this isn't fair. What are we gonna do?" I ran my hand through my hair and started walking around nervously.
"We, my dear friend, aren't gonna do anything. Because we can't."
"But there must be a way. What if we..." I had nothing.
"How am I gonna tell Ally? She's going to be devastated." I looked outside the window just to see it started raining. Perfect weather for a perfect day. Really.
"She's a strong girl. She can handle it."
"I know but she's been through a lot, nothing like this was supposed to happen. She was supposed to have her happy life."
"I know. But you have to fight for your happiness and for Ally's."
"What do you mean?" Could he notice? I thought I'm a good actor.
"I know you like her. The way your eyes lit up when you're talking about her, the way you want her to be safe more than anything else. I'm not blind, Austin." He got me. What now?
"Okay... Maybe I like her... a little more than I should." Dez is the first person I told about my feelings. Like I would have anyone else to tell.
"Another reason to tell her the truth."
"You're right. It's gonna be the first thing I do when I come home. Bye, Dez." I left his office and the building. I walked to my car fast and lay my head on a steering wheel. You can do it. But you have to get there to do it. I took off. The rain turned into a storm.
I pulled my keys out of pocket, but I didn't have to. Ally was standing in the door looking at me angrily. She had the look that could kill. I gotta admit, I was scared.
"Where the heck were you? I was scared that something happened." She asked me when I closed the door.
"I'm sorry I left you here. But Dez wanted to tell me something important and you were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you up, cause you looked just so peaceful sleeping." She blushed and I had to hug her. She put her chin on my shoulder, though she had to stand on her tip-toes. I can't believe how she can be so short. But I like it, I feel like her knight in shining armor.
"You could leave a note or call." She whispered in a cute baby voice, that nearly melted my heart. How can she be so perfect in every single way?
"I know, I'm sorry, I promise I'll never leave you here alone without telling where I am." I kissed her forehead.
"I need to tell you something really bad. Sit down." We both sat on a couch on living room. She looked at me with a scared look, which made it even harder.
"I spoke to Dez today, and he told me this..." I took a deep breath and looked at my sneakers.
"He told me that Elliott might be released." I slowly said while looking in her eyes.
"What? How can that be possible. He was supposed to go to jail." She said and she started crying.
"His dad is a politician in the government. He said if we don't release him, we're all fired."
"No... It can't be true. We have to do something."
"We can't but I swear to God and all his angels that he's not gonna hurt you again. I'll make sure that he doesn't look at you again in his entire life and he doesn't even say your name out loud. I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe and happy, cause you deserve the best. And if some other man tries to take you away from me, I'll introduce my fist to his face." I said to her.
"I know, thank you." She responded. I was glad that she stopped crying, she looks much more beautiful with a smile on.
"Let's have lunch, princess, I bet you're hungry."
"Princess?" I saw her blush again.
"Yeah, you really are a princess to me." She just smiled and took her jacket from a rack next to the door. I smiled in my head all the way to a restaurant.
Leave reviews :) and have a nice day!
