Chapter 11
Disclaimer: I do not own Austin and Ally
Recap: After the funeral, Adam said some really hurtful things to Ally. She was shocked and hurt because her own brother had said those awful things to her. Now how will she cope?
Ally's P.O.V
I am literally just frozen on the spot. I can't believe Adam-my own brother-would say those things to me! I decide right then and there that he isn't worth it and from this point on, he's dead to me. *(Pun intended)* I am still hurt but I won't let it get to me-I won't give him that satisfaction. Sam comes over to check on me since she, and basically everyone else heard Adam's outburst. I look around and I can see the disgusted looks on our family member's faces and I can hear the disappointment and shame in their voices and I can't blame them. Adam did an awful thing and now he deserves what's coming to him! Sam walks over to me, and asks me if I'm okay, but all I can do is nod. The last thing I see is Samantha stomping towards Adam with a look to kill on her face.
Samantha's P.O.V
I am beyond angry with Ally's brother right now and if I had it my way, we'd be planning another funeral. Ally is such a sweet girl who has suffered way more than she should've, and he has no right to speak like that her! So after I make sure Ally is alright, I decide to give him a piece of my mind! I walk right up to him and I kick him right where the sun don't shine! While he is currently busy trying to deal with the pain in his "prized possession" I decide to give him a dose of his own medicine. "Adam! I don't know how you could even say such hurtful things to your little sister! She has suffered too many losses, and you are the only family she has left. She looked up to you, and then when she needs you most-you just desert her! Who the heck does that?! You must be pretty sick and cold-hearted if you are able to treat your own family like that! You no good son of a-!" I say. But I am quickly interrupted by Ally.
Ally's P.O.V
I am trying to compose myself when I see Sam heading in Adam's direction. I never would've imagined that she would hurt him for me, but that kick seemed to do the trick! I hear Sam just about to cuss Adam out, when I quickly interject her. We still have my elderly family members and my young-impressionable cousins! I just ask her if we can leave and go back to her house and she quickly agrees. After I say all my goodbyes, Sam and I leave and head for her house. We go in and I just plop down on the couch and let out a much-needed scream. Sam makes her way over to me, embraces me in a hug, and that's when the dam breaks. I just cry and cry and I don't even know why. I have cried so many times-I'm surprised I still have any tears left, but I know I have to stop. Crying so much is not good for me, and besides I'm sure my parents and my friends wouldn't want me to be this upset-constantly.
I wipe my eyes, and I look at Sam with a look of determination in my eyes and she knows exactly what I'm thinking. We need to find that book. It might just hold all the answers, and it might have the cure to my depression.
No One's P.O.V
Ally and Samantha head over to the Main Public Library of Miami to search for the giant, read leather book that has an "A" inscribed on the cover. They step into the large building and immediately go to the section labeled "Myths and Spells". It's like their minds know exactly where to go, and their feet know the destination automatically, because in a few moments they are standing in front of rows and rows of books that hold mythical tales and "magic tales". Neither of them knew if this would work, but it couldn't hurt to try, right?
Ally's P.O.V
"So I guess this is it, huh?" I ask Sam. "I guess so" she replies. I am just amazed by how many books there are on this baloney, and I am momentarily overcome by a feeling of dread when I realize that the book might not be here, and that my dreams weren't real. "Hey Sam, do you think the book will be here? What if someone checked it out?" I nervously ask her. "Oh yeah sure, Ally. There's absolutely no chance that someone else had the same exact dream that you did, directing them to come here and find the exact same book!" she sarcastically replies, with a roll of her eyes. I am just about to say something witty in return, but I don't get the opportunity because the librarian shoots us a stern glare and goes "Shhh….". I hear Samantha say, "Come on. Let's go find this book! That librarian is giving me a creepy feeling". But she is talking to my back as I'm already walking down the aisle and browsing the shelves for the mysterious novel.
Sam's P.O.V
I am currently looking at every book on every shelf in this section and I must admit, I am losing hope!
What if Ally misinterpreted her dream? I mean I want to help her, and I do believe her, but this is ridiculous! We've been searching for hours! But the good news is that we're coming to the end of the section, but the bad news is if it's not in there, then Ally will be devastated and even more broken. For her sake, I hope we find this book because she's suffered so much and she deserves something to happen in her life that's for the better. I am currently absorbed in a book that explains how to summon a uni-dragon when I'm interrupted by Ally jumping up and down while screaming like a lunatic! As I make my way over here, I can only think about how much the librarian probably wants to kick us out.
Ally's P.O.V
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!" I scream without caring if anyone doesn't like it! I am just so ecstatic because I finally found the book! I finally found that dadgum cursed book! I am just so happy, I am running up and down the aisles and just praising the Lord that I found the book! Once I calm down, I relay the good news to Samantha and we can finally go home! I try to walk calmly and collectively to the check out desk but I can't help it! I finally have the book that may or may not contain the key to improving my miserable life! As I place the book on the counter, I impatiently wait for the librarian to check it out to me. She grabs the book and then her eyes widen in surprise, and I am completely unaware of what's going on. She has a look of sheer terror on her face and she hardly manages to stutter out, "Y-ou ca-can't have this b-book!" before she puts it on the return shelf! I am still in shock from finding the book, and Sam must sense this because she speaks up for me.
Sam's P.O.V
"Okay, listen here lady! I don't care if you are a librarian, or my "elder", I spent over 5 HOURS in this stupid place and I AM NOT leaving here without this book! It is very important to us and we need it. So, HAND IT OVER!" I yell. I am seething with anger, but the last thing I expected the old bat to do was scream, "GET OUT OF HERE NOW! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY! ALSO, YOU ARE HEREBY BANNED FROM EVEN STEPPING FOOT ON THE PREMISES FOR 6 MONTHS! YOU SHOULD CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY THAT I'M NOT REVOKING YOUR LIBRARY CARDS, AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU EVER AGAIN! I HOPE YOU HAVE A HORRIBLE DAY". But the worst thing was that she said it with a sickly sweet smile on her face. Yep she's creepy. But just to tick her off even more I ask her, "Do you by any chance have this at another library?". She looks like she wants to strangle me, and she just points to the exit. One thing is for sure, We're NEVER allowed there again...
Ally's P.O.V
I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up- I am always disappointed. But I don't blame Samantha, that librarian was such a witch. Since we are both starving and we have nothing better to do, Sam and I go to Burger King and order our dinner. While we eat, we discuss what we're gonna do since I'm convinced that book is important. We also try to come up with explanations on why we couldn't have the book, and some of them are pretty far-fetched, but those are mainly contributed by Sam.
We wonder is she a wizard? Is she some type of mythical creature who doesn't want us to find her true identity? Is she an alien and thinks that the book has valuable information for her race? Is the book cursed? As we think about these possible explanations, I get an idea! What if, when the library is closed, we sneak in and take the book? We could be like secret agent spies on a very important confidential" mission. I tell my brilliant plan to Sam, and she agrees because she's just that wacky. But at least if I'm caught and I'm thrown in jail, I'll have my current best-friend with me! So we finish our meal, and we head back to her house and I fall asleep thinking of how to execute my brilliant plan….
