I'm going to start this chapter in a minute, but first I have a problem I want to get out there to all of you. My friend kittieslovecupcakes just posted her first story on here. She was telling me about this one review she got that was in all caps saying that this person was so much better than her, the story was too short, and that it's called Austin and Ally for a reason. People, I'm not saying this is any of you, but that is unacceptable. You just don't say that kind of thing to a person who has actually tried, which I know she has. Respect the writers on here, no matter if you like their story or not. Like the saying goes, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Constructive criticism is different. You tell the author ways to improve, but you never tell them their story is bad and that you're better than them, because let's face it, you're not. I'm just saying, because you all know it's true. Anyway, on with the story…
I don't own Austin & Ally
Ally's POV
"Ella? Baby, where'd you go?", I called, walking outside to look for Ella. When I went to check on her in Toby's room, he said she went outside.
"Mommy, come here", Ella whispered pulling me down behind a bush.
"What's up baby?", I asked, confused as to why we're hiding behind a bush.
"Shh, look", she whispered pointing towards where Maddie and Porter were sitting.
"Yeah…so? What's going on?", I whisper-asked.
"I figured out where I've seen Porter before", she said.
"Really, where?", I asked.
"He's the guy that saved me and Maddie at the park", she said. My eyes widened at this.
"Are you sure?", I asked.
"Yes, I'm sure. He's the same height, has the same voice, same eyes, and he's wearing one of those survival bracelets that I just remembered seeing that guy wear", she said.
"Survival bracelet? You never said anything about a survival bracelet", I said confused.
"Sorry Mommy. I just remembered, and I don't think Maddie saw it at all", she said.
"And you know this for a fact?", I asked, just to be certain.
"I already told you I did", she said. Maddie did say the stranger was handsome, and from what I can tell, I'm pretty sure she thinks the same about Porter. I guess it kind of makes sense that he would be the same guy.
"Does Maddie know?", I asked.
"I don't think so, but they were talking about him. Porter was saying 'he', but it really sounded like he was talking about himself", Ella informed me. Talking in third person, huh? A basic cover-up! Wow, now I sound like Trish and Dez with their stupid crime shows…
"Nice work baby", I said, regaining my thoughts.
"I try, and I think this might help us get those two together, but I think we need to get Daddy, Uncle Dez, and Grandpa to like Porter a little more first", she said. I laughed, but completely agreed to that statement. "Should we let the other girls in on our plan?", she asked.
"Yeah, that could help a lot", I said. My daughter is so smart.
"What about Toby?", she asked.
"What about him?", I asked confused.
"Is he in the plan?", she asked.
"I think it's best if we keep this between us girls", I said. She nodded understandingly. "Wait, why do you want Toby to be in on the plan anyway? Do you like him?", I asked smiling.
"No!", she screeched.
"Are you sure?", I smirked.
"I'm sure. I mean, yes he's cute, but I don't like him like you like Daddy", she said shaking her head.
"Ella…"
"Okay, maybe I did a little bit at first, but not anymore. Don't tell that to Daddy", she begged. "Oh, and don't tell Toby either. If he thinks I liked him, even if I don't anymore, he won't want to be my friend anymore", she said. I smiled.
"Your secret's safe with me baby girl. Let's go", I said ushering her back inside.
"Okay, we need all the girls to come with us. Boys, leave", Ella demanded when we got in the living room. Wow…
"Sunshine, not now. We're watching football", Austin complained.
"I still don't understand football", Toby commented to no one in particular. We all laughed.
"Come on Toby, football is really easy to get. So boys, get out!", Ella exclaimed, getting aggravated. Dez screamed and ran out of the room as quickly as he could. Wow, my brother's such a wimp…
"We're watching our football now", Mike whined, waving his hand dismissively. Austin and Uncle Daryl both nodded in agreement. They asked for it…
"There are other stinkin' T.V.s in this house, GET OUT NOW!", Ella yelled causing the four remaining guys (Austin, Mike, Toby, and Uncle Daryl) to get up quickly, and leave us to the room.
"Love you Sunshine, love you Als", Austin said kissing us both on the forehead before he left. I just have the most amazing and sweetest husband in the world!
"Can I stay too, or is this another one of those annoying 'adult talks' where they say I'm too young? By the way, I'm fourteen, I think I'm old enough to be included in those too", Kelsey asked.
"Kelsey, you're fourteen. I'm letting my five year old stay, and she came up with the conversation herself. What do you think?", I asked sarcastically. She rolled her eyes and flopped down on the couch. Yeah, I just can't wait for Ella's teenage years! (Sarcasm intended). But I have to say, I like this girl.
"What's this about sweetie?", Mimi asked.
"Wait, shouldn't we wait on Maddie to come back?", Kelsey asked.
"This is about Maddie, so no", I said.
"What about?", Mimi asked, probably confused as to what we were going to say about her daughter without her being there.
"We need to make a plan to get Maddie and Porter together", Ella said. I nodded.
"I don't know, the poor girl still looks a little broken to me", Aunt Claire commented. Well duh!
"Well I know for sure she has a crush on him, but she doesn't think he'd like her back", Kelsey said scoffing. "But then again, I think she might still be a bit hung up on that dude that saved her, but she never met him."
"I feel bad that we never found out who that boy is. He saved my daughter and granddaughter from some very dangerous people. I wish we could thank him", Mimi said placing Ella in her lap. Ella smiled when I winked at her, and tried to wink back, but failed again. She's so cute.
"Oh Grandma, we do know who it is", Ella said. All the rest of them gave her confused looks, except me.
"Oh Darling, don't be ridiculous. None of us know who it was, and probably never will", Mimi said.
"But I do know who he is", Ella said, seeming to get a bit upset that Mimi didn't believe her.
"Honey, I think you're confused. Why don't you let us grown-ups talk?", Mimi suggested. You've got to be kidding me!
"I was there Grandma! Why won't you believe me!? Mommy believed me! I might just be a 'little girl', but I'm not just some baby that knows nothing!", Ella yelled. Everyone's eyes went wide in shock.
"I happen to believe my daughter, just as she said", I said, hugging her to my side. "If you all would actually listen to her explanation, you might too. She made some very good points, and there is no doubt in my mind that she isn't correct about this."
"Thanks Mommy", Ella said smiling. I hugged her even closer to me.
"You're welcome baby. I'm always on your side."
"Who do you think it is?", Kelsey asked. She and Aunt Claire had been quiet throughout that whole argument.
"Porter", Ella sniffled. "His height, eyes, voice, and survival bracelet are all the same. It also kind of gave him away by the way he was talking, and looking at her when she talked about the mystery man."
"That might help them get together", Kelsey said.
"That's what we've been trying to say this whole time!", Ella exclaimed, looking pointedly at Mimi.
"Sorry sweetheart, we're all stressed", Mimi apologized.
"Okay Grandma, I forgive you. Only because I don't want the same thing to happen that did with Aunt Trish", Ella stated. Wait a second…
"Hey, where is Trish?", I asked. I could've sworn she was here before I went outside, but she's nowhere to be found now. Now that I think about it, she never spoke through the whole conversation about Maddie and Porter, and I know she would've been the first to have something to say about that. Where could she be?
Oh no, where's Trish? Can you guess? Alright guys, I have a new story up that I'm co-writing with my amazingly awesome friend who is an incredible writer. It's called "Use Your Voice". Please check it out and tell us what you think! Please read, review, follow, and favorite! ;P
God Bless you all!
