Chapter 11

"So, you actually punched him?" Cassidy giggled, even more so when I nodded, blushing.

"Well, he didn't tell me that you lived in Miami! I had a right to punch him!" Ally defended herself. Cassidy rolled her eyes.

"He is a bit of an idiot. I realised after you left that I never told you. And I'd never even gotten your number. It didn't occur to me when we saw each other every day at camp." She sighed. Ally shrugged.

"Well, you've got it now. And I suppose I can forgive my idiot of a boyfriend since he is the reason you're here right now…" she conceded.

After Austin had recovered from being punched in the stomach-which wasn't even hard, despite his claims that it was bruised (come on, have you seen Ally's muscles? No? Yeah, because she has none.), he'd given Ally Cassidy's number and she'd hurriedly said goodbye before running back into the house, up to her bedroom, and dialling the number.

"Hello?" Cassidy had answered, a little cautious. Ally squealed and, as soon as she recognised the voice, Cassidy did the same. As it turned out, Cassidy had lived in Miami all her life, but the reason Ally had never met her was because she went to the private all-girls school, Miami Mount Academy, and she'd never really had any friends outside of the school. Austin had met her through the camp back when he first started going, when he was eleven, and since then they'd been close friends. He'd never seen her much outside of camp, however, because despite knowing that she lived in Miami, neither of them had been able to drive until recently, and they lived just far enough that that was a problem. But the point was, Cassidy lived twenty minutes away. And they could all drive now.

After a very long, very detailed conversation on how much they'd missed each other and how long it had been, Ally had told Cassidy that she simply had to come round the next day, (a Saturday), and Cassidy had agreed, deciding to ditch work because catching up with her friend was much more important.

And that was how they came to be lying on the beanbags on Ally's bedroom floor, eating popcorn and talking with Monster's University playing on the TV. (Ally may or may not have found a pirate copy. Don't be mad. She was a Disney freak. And she had seen it at the movie theatre and was definitely planning to buy the DVD so really, who was it hurting?) They weren't really paying attention to the movie though because they were too busy talking.

"So, anyway…okay, so the reason you even came up in conversation was because, um…basically, my dad found us asleep together in my bed. Just sleeping, before you get all giggly, but he kinda flipped and I ended up admitting to him that we're having sex and then eventually I managed to calm him down and convince him not to kill Austin. Anyway, then I was telling Austin how I wish my mom was still here so I could talk to her about it all, you know, sex, and then I said that I wished I had a friend I could talk to about it. And then I mentioned you, and how I wish you were here, and he was like 'why don't you talk to her?' and then he told me you lived here, blah blah blah, and then I kinda punched him because I was pissed that he'd only just told me and I was in shock because you live in Miami!" Ally explained. Cassidy grinned.

"Aw, you want to have a girly talk? I'm honoured! Although, I don't know how much help I'll be with the sex stuff…you know, I only really do that kind of thing with other girls. But I've made out with Austin!" she added, and then cringed. Ally rolled her eyes.

"Nice, Cass."

"Sorry. Didn't think that one through." She felt bad but Ally just shrugged.

"Honestly, it doesn't bother me at all. Austin had sex before he met me, and that doesn't bother me. So why would it bother me that he made out with you? Especially since you obviously didn't have feelings for him."

Cassidy chuckled.

"Nope, none. And it was only for a dare. To be fair, at the time he didn't know I was gay…but I did. I thought I made it obvious, too. But it didn't seem to sink in to his thick skull until he caught me and my ex-girlfriend, although she wasn't an 'ex' at the time, doing the nasty in my cabin." They both laughed at Austin's stupidity.

"For a straight-A student, the guy sure can be dumb." Ally observed.

"So, anyway…give me all the details! What's he like?" Cassidy grinned, leaning in like she didn't want to miss anything. Ally sighed, smiling gratefully.

"Don't worry about it, Cass. I wouldn't want to make you feel uncomfortable." Ally said. Cass rolled her eyes and lightly punched Ally's arm.

"Girl, if it made me feel uncomfortable, I wouldn't have asked. I want to know! I need to know if my boy is treating you right!"

Ally giggled, blushing.

"Oh, he's definitely treating me right. I mean, I don't remember the first time all too clearly. But I do remember, despite us both being pretty drunk, he did ask if I was sure. A few times. And he was…really gentle. And I remember him being really apologetic, as well. And since then…he's just really gentle, and sweet. But not so gentle it's annoying. Like, I have had bruises. And he likes to give me hickeys. All the time. Mostly on my stomach, though. If he left one where people could see it, he knows I'd kill him." She laughed. Cassidy beamed.

"Aw, that's adorable. So many people think hickeys are, like, really dirty and gross, but I don't see it that way. To me, it's like…it's a possessive thing. I like what the English call it…a love bite. Isn't that just adorable? Like, that's usually what it is, isn't it? It's something you do to kinda say, 'hi, I love you, and I'm leaving a mark here to let people know that you're mine'. I think it's sweet. But you're right, I suppose. You don't want them to be visible." she smiled softly. Ally nodded, agreeing.

"Before Austin, I have to admit I thought they were vulgar. But now…I understand, I suppose. I like that he leaves marks. It kind of…it proves he's been there, and it's like he's saying he likes it, my body, me."

"So, anyway, more details! How often have you done it? Where have you done it? Have you had car sex yet? Car sex is the best. Except angry sex. Angry sex is unbeatable." Cass grinned, and Ally got the feeling that she'd had some pretty good experiences with car sex. And angry sex.

"No, actually, we haven't. We've gotten pretty heated in the car, though, and almost went there one time. But we've only ever done it in a bed. And we were discussing this yesterday; actually…I think we said five. Five times. We've had sex five times, including the time at camp." Ally glanced at Cassidy and was surprised by the shocked look on her face.

"Five?" she gasped. Ally frowned.

"Yeah…that's not that much, right?"

"Fuck, Ally. It's been weeks. And with the amount of unresolved sexual tension you two had going throughout your whole time at camp…I figured you'd have been at it like rabbits. Five is nothing." Ally blushed furiously.

"There was no UST between us at camp, Cass. We just…didn't like each other. At all." Ally informed her. The blonde snorted.

"Right. No UST. Pull the other one, Als, it's got bells on."

"What?" Ally looked bewildered.

"Seriously, Ally? I'm pretty sure everyone saw it except you two. Honestly, that's why I wasn't too shocked when I found out that you guys had done it. I was pretty pissed at Dallas, actually, for asking you out. There was no way he couldn't see it." She elaborated. Ally stared at her, open-mouthed.

"No! There's no way! Seriously?" she blurted.

"Yeah, deadly serious. Ally, everyone was waiting for you two to realise how much you wanted to screw each other. Nobody would have been that surprised if you'd started going at it mid-argument. I can't believe you didn't see it. Then again, I suppose if you had had this 'hating each other' thing going on for that long…you must have been so used to it you barely even noticed it anymore."

"I can't believe…me and Austin talked about this, actually. About how we think we must have kind of had feelings for each other before, back when we thought we hated each other. But I never thought it was like that…honestly, though, on that first day of camp, when he performed that song…I think I kinda knew. And then I was watching him, and you went over and kissed him…I think I felt kind of jealous. But I told myself that I was just disgusted that anyone would want to kiss him. But, I suppose…I never liked Tilly. Like, at all. I had this stupid resentment towards her, and again I suppose at the time I told myself I was disgusted by her infatuation with Austin. But now I think…I think maybe it could have been jealousy." She sighed, relieved to finally be getting these things off her chest. Cassidy looked proud.

"See, I told you! You guys totally wanted each other, even if you didn't realise it." She smiled. They drifted into a comfortable silence for a while, watching the movie and occasionally throwing popcorn at each other. Just as they were both drifting off, however, Ally spoke up.

"Cass, can I ask you something?"

"Sure." Cassidy looked over.

"Why weren't you mad at me for cheating on Dallas?" she asked. Cassidy sighed.

"I knew you'd ask me this at some point. Okay, you want the full story?" she asked, sitting up straight. Ally got the feeling that this was important, and nodded, copying her.

"If that's okay…it's fine if you're too tired." Ally didn't want Cassidy to feel obligated to explain if she just wanted to go to bed. Cassidy, however, shook her head.

"No, don't worry. You should know. Okay, so, basically, Dallas has been going to the camp for as long as Austin has. And until this year, so did Dallas' brother." She began. Ally recalled that very first day, when she'd been secretly watching him greeting his friends, and Dallas had said something about his brother…moving out, was it? And the slightly tense reaction to it.

"Dallas never even mentioned his brother to me." Ally frowned. Cass laughed.

"I'm not surprised. His brother was a dick. And, at first, so was Dallas. He was called Graham, and he treated everyone like crap. He was only a year older than Dallas, but Dallas worshipped him. He had him brainwashed, basically. Dallas would do whatever his brother said. And Graham…Graham didn't like Austin. At all. They fought like crazy, over everything. There were even a couple of actual fistfights. Then Graham took it too far last summer…it's a long story, what happened, and I don't even know all the details. All I know is that Dallas played a big part in it. But then Graham did something else and Dallas…Dallas kind of realised how psycho his brother was. I'm not completely sure, and Austin refuses to talk about it, but I think…I think he knifed him. I know for definite that there was a penknife involved, and Dianne had to call an ambulance and the police. I mean, he was fine, just had a couple stitches, but Graham was arrested and, obviously, kicked out of camp. Dallas was kind of stuck, I guess. So he did what anyone would do…he apologised to Austin. He swore he had no idea what Graham was planning and that he regretted everything he'd ever done. Austin being Austin forgave him, and he kinda joined our group, but things were always kinda awkward between them."

"As you can expect. Wow. I can't believe Dallas was like that. Dallas. I mean, he's like, one of the sweetest guys I've ever met…I find it hard to believe that he's even related to someone like that." Ally was mind blown. And, honestly, pretty upset that Austin hadn't told her all this himself. Though Cass had said he didn't really talk about it…maybe he just didn't like to think about it. It wouldn't surprise her. It didn't sound like much fun.

"Yeah, it is pretty strange. I mean, now that I know him, I find it hard to believe that he was like that. And I saw it first-hand. But anyway, at the start of camp this summer, Dallas told Austin that Graham had moved out, and that he hadn't spoken to him since before the incident. Austin said they could just forget about it, pretend like Graham didn't exist, and things were fine. They were actually becoming quite close. But then, obviously, the whole thing with you happened…" Cass trailed off and Ally sighed.

"Damn. I fucked up their friendship." She looked forlorn, and Cassidy was quick to set her straight.

"No, Dallas did that. Ally, like I said, we could all tell that you two had feelings for each other. Even if you guys didn't know. And Dallas, out of all of us, is probably the best at reading people like that. In my personal opinion, there's no way in hell that Dallas didn't know about Austin's feelings for you. But he went and asked you out anyway. So, honestly? I think Dallas kind of asked for this. I'm not saying that what you and Austin did was right, or fair on Dallas. But it wasn't fair on either you or Austin for Dallas to make a move. So, honestly? I think you were all in the wrong. But it's okay now. You guys are happy, and I think Dallas is cooling off a bit. If he does decide to go to camp next year, he and Austin can work on their relationship. Well, if they decide they want to, that is. And if you decide to go again…even better. But for now, just be happy with Austin, and don't let Dallas get in the way of that." Cassidy advised her. Ally still felt a little guilty for ruining the almost-friendship, but Cassidy had a point. If Dallas could tell there was something between them, he never should have gotten in the way of that. Besides, it was Austin's fault as much as her own.

"I wasn't planning to let him get in the way of anything. But it would be nice to make things right with him." She sighed. Maybe she would, one day.

She hoped so, anyway.

Let me know what you thought, yeah?
