Hey! I asked for four reviews, I got six! Yay! :D

Omg, you guys are awesome! Seriously, I litterally start jumping up and down everytime I see someone has reviewed/followed/favorited one of my stories! You guys are the best! :P

Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally (sadly), or anything you might recognize in this.

Enjoy! :)

Austin's P.O.V.

Ding, dong!

"Austin, go open the door!"

I groan. I'm currently strumming my guitar. Well, was, 'cause now I'm on my way to the front door.

When I get to the door, I open it and I can tell you that I never expected to see the person who's standing infront of me... Actually standing infront of me.

"Patricia?" I ask the women in confusion. If I'm right, this women is my mom...

"Hi! Is this Mimi Moon's house?"

"Y-Yeah..."

"Wait, how did you know my name?"

She doesn't even remember her own son. Well, I don't really want to talk to her, anyways.

"You're my mother." I state.

"Your- Wait, Austin?" Her eyes grow wide.

"Sup?" I let her in.

"Oh my god! You are so grown up!"

"Yeah... Mimi! Patricia's here to visit! I'm going out! Don't expect me!" I shout at her and run out. I don't want to face my mom. She's a huge bitch. When I was finally starting to get my happy life back, she have to come back.

Melissa's P.O.V.

When I hear my mom's name, I go to the front door in confusion. Yup, my mom is definitely standing infront of me after seven years.

"Melissa?" She asks me.

"Mom." I nod at her.

"Are... Are you also mad at me for leaving you and your siblings?"

"Mad? No. Pissed? Hell, yes."

"Don't use this language, Melissa."

"Aunt Mimi is more of a mom to me than you, so you have no right to tell me what to do."

She sighs. "Can we go out for a walk? I think we need to talk."

"I'm not going anywhere with you."

"I think you should go with your mom, Mel." Mimi tells me, getting in the room.

I bit my lip and sigh. "Fine." I put my shoes on and get out. She follows me.

"Look, I know you're all mad at me for leaving." She breaks the awkward silence.

"Of course I would be! You left us alone for no reason, for god's sake!"

"I was running away from your father."

"And left us alone with him! He was always leaving us alone to get drunk at some bar! He fucking died from an overdose!"

"Melissa, language!"

"You're not my mom!" I shout. "Not anymore..."

"Melissa, I'm sorry, okay? I know I should've never left you alone, but... I didn't know what to do, at that moment. I was scared and the only thing that was in my mind was getting out of the house before blacking out or getting killed, 'cause I know your dad had really lost his mind."

"Do you know how much fucked up our lives are since that night?! Austin is taking out his pain on a girl and is broken, I got over it about two years ago, because I had to be strong for my younger siblings, same thing with Karl. The twins didn't really realize it, since they were five, but they know what happenned. No one wants you in their lives, anymore. Why don't you just go back to where you were? You're just going to get us back to where we were, before. Mike and Mimi are the ones who got us back as a strong family. We were litterally falling appart. If it wasn't from them, Karl would've probably moved out, Austin would probably be a player breaking every girl's heart to change his mind off of things, and the twins wouldn't be as happy as they are. I would've probably done the worst by now. I don't know... Cutting? Maybe more..." I tell her, finishing my little speech.

"I-I... I didn't know you felt that way."

"How do you think we would've reacted? We don't have parents since we're kids!"

"I'm... so sorry."

"Why did you come here, anyways?"

"Umm... To tell you, guys that I'm leaving to England."

"Did you really think we would've cared about that? We moved on, mom. Go ahead, move to England. No one knew where you were, anyways."

She sighs. "You're right... I also wanted to know what you and your siblings looked like, now."

"Honestly, I thought you had forgotten about us."

"Never."

"Well, can you just go? I don't want to talk to you again, okay?"

She nods sadly as we get back to the driveway. "Got it. It was nice to see you again, Melissa. Bye." She gets in her car.

"Bye." I go back inside as she drives away. I can't believe she thought we'd actually be nice to her.

Now, to find Austin.

Ally's P.O.V.

"Ally! Pick up the phone, it's for you!" Alex yells from downstairs.

"Got it!" I yell back and pick up the phone from my bedside table. "Hello?"

"Ally?" The girl at the other end of the phone asks.

"Yeah, who's this?"

"Mel. Moon."

"Oh, hey, Mel!"

"Hi. Umm... I know that you and Austin don't really get along, but he ran away. Do you have any ideas where he could be?"

"Umm... Yeah- Wait, Austin ran away? What happenned?"

"Yeah, our mom came back. I kicked her out, but Austin ran out almost as soon as he saw her. Can you please help us find him?"

"Don't worry, I think I know where he is."

"Thank, god." She breaths out. "Thanks, Ally! Please get him back home!"

"I will. I don't know what time, though."

"It's fine. Take all the time you need."

"Alright."

"Thanks again, bye!"

"Bye." I hang up and rush down the stairs. "Alex, I'm going out for a bit. See you later!" I call and leave. I litterally run all the way to the beach (a good five minutes from my house... in a car).

I quickly climb the ladder and to my luck, the door is unlocked, which means Austin must be in there. I get in and look around. I find Austin on the same spot we were sitting, yesterday, staring into space. I go sit beside him without a word. I know he knows I'm there.

"How did you know I was here?" He asks me after a couple of minutes of silence.

"This is your hiding place. Of course I knew you'd be here."

"I never thought I'd see her again... And I didn't want to. I was finally starting to get my life back, and she just came back without warning."

"What do you mean by 'I was finally starting to get my life back'?"

He shrugs. "My aunt and my uncles are like parents to me, so it actually felt like I had parents, you know? I didn't feel like a loser like I felt I was for a couple of years. I actually felt alive... I wasn't letting my parents destroy me, anymore... And she came back."

"You weren't a loser."

"Just a kid without parents."

"You still have your siblings, your aunt, and your uncle. Trust me, I don't have a perfect life either. My parents are never there for me, and my brother hates me."

"We're pretty messed up, aren't we?"

"Yeah."

Austin's P.O.V.

She sighs and looks ahead. I look at her. Weird... I never noticed how much her eyes sparkle... It's like they have stars in it... And she's just so sweet... She actually went looking for me... Austin! Snap out of it! You don't like Ally!

Do I? Why am I suddenly doubting it? It has always been pretty clear that I hate her, right? But then, my conversation with Karl and Mel is always echoing in my head...

"Have you ever considered thinking about their good sides instead of their bad sides?" She asked me.

I scoffed. "What good sides?"

She rolled her eyes. "Seriously? You don't like anything about... I don't know... Ally?"

"Nope."

"Come on! You at least have to like one thing about her."

"She does have a pretty good voice. If the songs she writes weren't so annoying, I'd see her making it big in the music biz." He admited. Her voice has always been my weak point. But it doesn't mean I like her!

She smiled. "See? You do like something about her."

"Whatever, I still hate her." Do I?

"That Ally girl seems pretty cool. You should let us meet her, sometimes." Karl told me, entering the kitchen.

"No way." I told him. I'm not letting my family meeting my... frenemy? I don't really know what Ally and I are.

"Why not?"

"Dude, she's not even close to be my friend."

"Really?" Karl raised an eyebrow. I nodded. "You see her everyday?"

"At school and rehearsal for Starr Records' show."

"You talk to her as soon as you see her?"

"To tease her or annoy her."

"From what Mel and the twins told me, you also flirt with her...?"

"In a teasing way. Trust me. The only thing between Ally and I is pure hate."

Is it only that? I mean, if the only thing between Ally and I was pure hate, why does she cares so much about me? And that I... somehow also care about her?

"What are you thinking about?" Ally asks me.

"Huh?"

"What are you thinking about?" She repeats. "You're obviously bothered by something. You've been staring into space with a frown of confusion on your face for the past five minutes."

"Hmm... Yeah, I fine. Just lost in my thoughts, for a while."

"Is it because of your mom?"

"Umm... Yeah." I lie. I can't tell her it's because I'm confused about my feelings toward her! She'll be weirded out!

Gosh, my life is so complicated.

There you go! Ooh! Austin's confused about his feelings! :)

Wanna know a secret? I always post the chapters as soon as they're done, so I never know what's going to happen next,either. I just go where the last chapter took me! But it doesn't take me really long... That chapter at the fair took me about an hour and a half to write...

Tell me what you think in a review!

So, school starts tuesday, so I won't be updating as much. But I'll try to update as much as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience, but... We all went through that... Let's face 8th grade! Ugh... I wanna die...

Until next time,

R5AAFan :)
