~AUSTIN'S POV

"It's quiet, too quiet," Dallas muttered as we returned back to the camp. I would understand why Trish and Dez would be quiet but Ally? She usually always has something to say, she always keeps the conversation going. I wish we could talk to each other again. Dallas looked for them next to them near the ocean while I decided to go under the shelter. They were playing card games which wasn't unusual.

"Hey, guys can I play?" I commented.

"Sure," Dez approved.

I sat next to Ally and picked out some cards. "Hey, Ally, got any jacks?"

Ally looked astonished. "You spoke to me,"

I scratched my head. "Er, no I didn't,"

"Go fish,"

I sighed then picked out another card.

"Dez, you got any threes?"

"Yep, I have the three of spades, three of hearts…" Dez looked for more but he only had the two. Ally put her hand out and he gave them to her. "Great doing business with you,"

"Have you played before?" I thought that she seemed to know the rules well.

"Yeah, my mom and I used to play,"

"Awe,"

Trish started fanning the cards to her face – does she think she's in Florida? Dallas came in literally soaking wet. Bandi chattered at him.

"Hi, it's raining," he stammered, getting the water out of his top. Dez threw him a blanket. "Thanks, Dez,"


~ALLY'S POV

"Are you alright, Dallas?" I sniggered, watching him dry his hair with the blanket.

"No, I'm not okay," Dallas grunted. "What are you doing?"

"We're playing Go Fish," Austin indicated, pointing at the stack of cards in the middle. "We'll, I don't know what Trish is doing…"

Trish was completely bored and decided to fall asleep on my sleeping bag. I don't think much amuses Trish except from when she is laughing at others. She probably expected us to play something more fun like Truth or Dare again.

"I'll take Trish's place, I don't think she'll mind," Dallas took her cards away from her face.

Austin checked his cell phone. "Still no connection, great,"

"No, Austin there is no router or even electricity here,"

"It's not funny; my mom sent me a text message saying that she hopes I'm having fun but guess what? I'm not!" Austin laid down. "I can't even text her back telling her to take me home,"

"You think that's bad? My dad has texted me saying that if I don't like it here or if I feel homesick he's just a phone call away," He really did say that and Austin thought that his was worst – it wasn't!

"Hey, guys can we stop moaning?" Dez demanded. We looked at him shocked and forgetting that he was there. He sighed, dropped his cards then closed his eyes.

"I feel really bad," Austin faced me.

"Why?"

"Your dad must really care about you,"

"Yes, he does,"

"I see,"

"I bet your mom and dad gets over protective when you invite a girl over…"

"No, the only girl I've invited round was my cousin and she doesn't really act like one,"

"Austin, promise me we won't fight again?"

His faced dropped. "I can't promise anything, Ally,"

"Oh okay, we're still friends right?"

"Yes we are,"


~AUSTIN'S POV

Just friends, the beginning or the end? How do we make sense when we're on our own? (1)

Why did that song suddenly appear in my head?! Get it out.

"Ally, are you feeling okay? You look kind of red," I notified, feeling her forehead.

"I think I'm going to be sick," she literally legged it outside.

Dallas and I sat there confused.

"You know, this ain't the first time this has happened to me, this love sick thing. I like serious relationships and, uh, a girl like me don't stay single for long-" I cut Dallas off at his dreadful accent there.

"Shut up Dallas, she could be seriously ill," I dictated.

"I'm only joking, Austin but after you started talking about that 'friend' thing she suddenly felt sick?"

I tried not to laugh. "What? You think she caught a love bite? She's probably homesick,"

"Well, she was your first kiss, ew," Dallas curled under his sleeping bag.

"Ally's not ew!"

"I was on about you,"

I threw a banana at him and Bandi chattered. Oh, yeah, bow down to King Austin, peasants!


~ALLY'S POV

"Nobody swim in the lake for a while," I went to lay down in Trish's sleeping bag.

"What's wrong?" Dallas questioned.

"I don't know, maybe I ate too many fish," Yep, too many fish.


~AUSTIN'S POV

"See? She ate too many fish," Wow, Ally's a quick sleeper. She sleeps like a princess.

"Are you stupid? She was lying," Dallas sneered.

"I am not stupid and I'm not trusting you on love anymore, Dallas, not until you're in a relationship yourself,"

"Fine but when it's the school prom you'll end up with the monkey,"

"He's a guy…"

"I prove my point,"

"You're mean to me sometimes," I blew the mini fireplace out.

"You're never mean to me which is awesome. Goodnight, Austin,"

"Night, ermmm…" I couldn't think of a good comeback.

"I'll let you think of one tomorrow because you're bad at it,"


~ALLY'S POV

"You said that you loved me, Ally,"

"I still mean it!"

"Baby, no you don't, you'll have to pay for that now,"

"No, please don't hurt me,"

"Why not? Haven't you hurt me enough?"

I woke up hyperventilating and moved my sleeping bag next to Austin. I think I must have woken him up by accident.

"Austin, can I sleep next to you? I had a bad dream," I muttered.

"Of course you can," Austin shared his blanket with me. "It will keep you warm,"

"Thank you, Austin,"

He shrugged. "You would do the same to me if I had a bad dream,"

I nodded. "Yeah," After I laughed to death.

Austin's blanket is really warm. He must get pretty cool stuff since his parents work in a mattress store…
