Hey guys. I am just updating a lot today. I have nothing to do and it's Christmas break, so I'll probably be updating maybe one or two more times today. So, here's the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally or anything else you recognize in this chapter.

Enjoy! :)

Ally's POV

It's been a month since I last spoke to Austin. I am still extremely mad at him for what he did. I mean, what would you do if your best friend didn't tell you that your boyfriend was cheating on you if he knew about it? I'm pretty sure you would get really mad, too. I still don't understand why he would keep something like that from me. And what did he mean that he didn't want to hurt my feelings? That didn't make much sense to me. I'm at Sonic Boom right now and it's not very busy. I decide to close the shop, so I could go eat lunch, since it is like 12:30 right now. I walk to the food court and order myself a burger, fries, and a Sprite. I find an empty table and sit down. I start eating, and to my surprise, someone sits down by me. I look up to see who it is, and what do you know, it's Dallas. I put my burger down and looked at him evily. "What do you want?" I snapped. "Look, Ally. I came over here to say that I am really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings," he says quietly. I give him a look. "You kissed another girl while you were dating me, Dallas, and you come back here expecting me to forgive you!?" I shout, causing people to look, but I don't care.

He looks up at me, and gives me puppy dog eyes. Oh god. "Ally, please. I really need you. I really like you and I want you back," he says. No matter how bad his puppy eyes are killing me, I won't take his crap anymore. "I'm sorry, Dallas, but I'm not getting back together with you," I say. I stand up and throw my half-eaten lunch away, and walk back towards Sonic Boom. I can't believe he tried to get me back like that. I also can't believe I didn't fall for the puppy eyes. I hate it when guys do that. It's just so cute, especially when Austin does it. He just crosses his arms across his chest and pouts and gives me those eyes, and I fall for it every time. I have to admit, I really miss Austin. I miss him being there for me when I need him. I miss his hugs, and I miss all the nice things he used to do for me...but that's in the past. He did something really wrong, and it made me mad. It's gonna take me a while to forgive him. Ugh, why does my life have to be so complicated.

Austin's POV

It's been a month since Ally's talked to me, and it's killing me. I can't take it anymore. I really miss her. I want her to be my best friend again, but I doubt that will ever happen. She hates me now and wants nothing to do with me. I should have just told her in the first place. I really regret not telling her that Dallas was cheating on her. Ugh, Dallas is such a jerk. I can't stand him. I just wanna punch him in the face. Speaking of punching, it turns out my hand wasn't broken, just sprained, but it's all better now, so yeah. My mom found the whole in the wall and flipped, but didn't ground me because she told me she understood the pain I had been going through. I decide to invite Dez over because one, I really need to talk to him about Ally, and two, I need someone to play video games with. I pick up my phone and dial his number. He answers after the first ring. "Hey buddy," he says. "Hey, Dez. Do you maybe wanna come over. I really need to talk to you about something." I say. There is a silence. "Sure, okay," he says, with a little tone of suspicion. "Thanks," I say and hang up the phone. It takes about 2 minutes for him to get here. How does he even do that? I let him in the house and tell him to sit on the couch in the livingroom.

"So, what's up?" he asks. I sigh and run my hand through my hair. "Oh no, it's about Ally, isn't it?" he asks. I look up at him. How did he know? "How did you know?" I ask. "I have my ways," he says. That's a little creepy. I shrug it off and sit on the couch next to him. "Alright, well, Ally's mad at me, and I don't know how to make her not be mad at me. She won't even talk to me, and whenever she sees me, she just walks away into another room or just ignores me. What do I do, Dez?" I ask, looking him straight in the eyes. He thinks for a second. "Well, why is she mad at you?" he asks. I sigh and tell him the whole story. "Oh, wow, that's pretty bad," he states the obvious. "Ya think!?" I run my hand through my hair again and slouch down on the couch. "So, how do I get her to forgive me?" I ask him. He thinks for a while again. "Well, I think you should just keep trying to get her to talk to you, and when she finally does, give her the best apology in the whole world. Then she's sure to forgive you. Oh, and don't forget to add puppy eyes. She always falls for those," he says with a serious tone. Wow, Dez can be really goofy, but when he needs to be serious, he's serious.

I thank him and he leaves after that. I walk around the room until I come up with an awesome apology. I grab my shoes and head out the door to Sonic Boom. Ally has to be working right now. It's only 2:00. When I get there, I look through the glass doors, and sure enough she's at the counter, helping a customer. I run in and go up to the counter. Ally sees me, and the smile on her face fades. She looks back up at the customer. "Have a nice day," she says glumly. The customer smiles and walks out of the store. I look back at Ally. "Look, Ally. I know you're extremely mad at me right now, but please hear me out. I just wanted to say I'm really sorry about what happened a month ago. I really am. I know what I did was wrong. I just didn't want you to be all sad and stuff if I told you. I saw that you were happy with Dallas, and I didn't want to upset you, no matter how much I really hate that no good, lying, cheating, jerk weasel. Ally giggles a bit, and that puts a smile on my face. She looks up at me. "Austin, you really hurt my feelings by not telling me something like that. I just don't understand why you would even try to keep something like that from me. I don't think I'm ready to forgive you yet," she says sadly. The smile on my face fades. What? How long can one girl stay mad at someone? I hate it when she's mad at me. I'm not giving up that easy. I suddenly remember the puppy eyes. "Ally, please forgive me. I really am truly sorry. I really need my best friend back. It's killing me not having her around. I don't like it. It makes me sad," I tell her, while giving her the eyes. She looks up at me. She just stares at me for a while, before wrapping her arms around my neck and giving me a hug. "Aw, Austin. It's okay. You're forgiven," she says quietly. My face lights up with happiness. "Really!?" I ask, a little bit too excited. "Yeah, and besides...I guess I kinda overreacted a bit, and I'm sorry." "No, Ally. You didn't overreacted. I should have told you about that jerk face cheating on you the minute I found out." I pull her into a tight hug, a huge smile on my face.

Ally's POV

"Ally, please forgive me. I really am truly sorry. I really need my best friend back. It's killing me not having her around. I don't like it. It makes me sad," Austin tells me, and gives me his famous puppy eyes. Aw, he looks so cute. I can't take it anymore. I can't be made at him anymore. It's been killing me inside not being able to talk to him. I hug him quickly. "Aw, Austin. It's okay. You're forgiven," I say, pulling away from the hug. After I say this, his face just lights up. "Really!?" he asks. "Yeah, and besides...I guess I kinda overreacted a bit, and I'm sorry." "No, Ally. You didn't overreacted. I should have told you about that jerk face cheating on you the minute I found out." He pulls me into a hug, putting a huge smile on my face.
