Oh! And I wrote this chapter :P

Enjoy! :)


Austin's P.O.V.

'I don't understand the point of this song,' The weird, green cartoon character says grumpily, then his triangular face lights up. 'The point of this song is; I love it!'

"What I don't understand is the point of this show." I grumble.

"Me neither, but as long as it keeps Mia silent, I don't really care." Ally tells me, her head still on my chest. She woke up about ten minutes ago due to Mia's wailing. We eventually found a way to shut the poor baby up, but unfortunately, that way is to watch this stupid cartoons show about singing geometric forms. Awesome.

The only thing that doesn't make watching the pointless show too bad is having Ally lying beside me, her head on my chest, and my arm around her shoulders.

"How long do you have to watch Mia?" I ask Ally, playing with the tip of her hair.

"Two weeks." She says with a sigh. "I don't know how I'm gonna do it."

"My grandmother could help you, if you want. I'm sure she'd be happy to be helpful."

"I don't like asking for help. Plus, I wouldn't want to give your grandmother a responsability that was supposed to be mine."

"What, like Elliot did to you?" I ask pointly.

"Yes, like he did to me. I'm not that kind of person."

"Ally, asking for help doesn't make you a bad person."

"I know, I just..." She trails off. "Nevermind."

I sigh. "Okay, how about this; I'll let you watch Mia on your own, or with your jerkface of a brother if he's willing to help at all, and if you feel overwhelmed or too tired, give me a call."

She stays silent for a little while, probably considering my suggestion. "Fine." She agrees after several seconds.

Suddenly, something pops in my mind. "Hey, how about school? You wouldn't be able to go to school with Mia to watch, would you?"

"Crap! Hadn't thought of that."

"Grandma!" I shout loudly.

"Austin!" Ally scolds me.

"What?" I hear my grandmother call.

"Nothing!" Ally calls back, sitting up. I drop my arm from her shoulders, already missing the feeling of having her in my arms.

"Come here!" I shout at my grandmother, ignoring Ally's glare in my direction.

Not even ten seconds later, my door opens, my grandmother rushing in. "What's wrong? Do I need to call an ambulance?"

"No, I was just wondering—"

Ally cuts me off. "Austin—

I cut her off. "You," I point at her. "Shut up."

She pouts and turns her attention to Mia.

I grin and turn back to my grandmother. "Ally, here, has a problem."

She perks up, just like I knew she would. "Ooh! I can help!"

Ally frowns up at her. "You don't even know what my problem is."

She waves her off. "So? I love helping people! What do you need, Sweetie?"

"I don't—"

I cut Ally off. "She and her brother need to watch their niece," I point to Mia, who's now sitting on Ally's lap, giggling at the singing cartoons. "But they can't miss school to watch her during those eight hours."

"Oh, I'll watch her." My grandmother smiles.

"Are you sure?" Ally asks her.

"Of course! Just bring her over on your way to school. You'll have to come here after school anyway to bring Austin his homework, won't you?"

Ally bites her lip. "Yeah..." She sighs. "Alright, we'll do that, since I can't think of another solution."

"Great! Well, if you need me, I'll be downstairs." My grandmother says, then leaves the room.

I smile smugly at Ally. "You're welcome."

She scowls, but a smile tuggs at the corner of her lips anyway. "Shut up."


Ally's P.O.V.

"Ally, where the heck were you?! I thought you had been kidnapped, or something!" Elliot screams as soon as I step inside the house.

I glare at him. "I was at Austin's house."

His expression turns confused. "Why were you over there?"

"Because Austin was willing to actually help me with Mia, unlike you." I spat at him.

"I tried to reason with him, Ally. I'm sorry." Cassidy says, coming out of who-knows-where.

I huff. "Whatever. But as your punishment for leaving me alone with her all day, you'll be on your own to take care of her until tomorrow." I say and gently place Mia in my brother's arms, then pat his head with fake sympathy. "Good luck."

"What?!" Elliot calls after me as I make my way to my room. "Come on, Ally! That's totally unfair!"

"No, it's not, and you know it." I call back, smiling smugly to myself.

Ring... Ring... Ring...

"Hello?" I answer my phone.

"How did it go?" Austin's voice booms through the speaker.

I grin, lying down on my bed. "He's angry at me and I don't care one bit."

I hear him chuckle. "Good. He deserves having to take care of Mia on his own. Feel the pain of his own actions."

"I gotta admit, your idea was pretty great."

"I know." He says, and I can almost hear the smirk in his voice.

I roll my eyes. "Yeah, okay, I'm going to hang up now before your head gets too big."

"Ha. Ha." He deadpans. "I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yup. Hopefully there won't be any rain, this time." I joke.

"Well, I still have plenty of sweats for you to borrow."

I blush and clear my throat to make sure my voice stays steady. "Good to know." I smile to myself. "See you tomorrow."

"See ya."

I sigh and hang up, a smile still stamped on my face.

This boy always knows just what to say.
