Hey guys! Here's the new chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally, or anything else you might recognize in this chapter.

Enjoy! :)


Ally's P.O.V.

"Who's this?" I hear Austin ask from his room.

"Ally. Can I come in?"

"No."

I sigh. I'm not angry, because I know he's just embarrassed. "Come on, Austin, open up!"

"No! Remind me why I'm stupid enough to trust Dez?"

"Because he's your best friend."

"An idiot."

"Idiot or not, he's your best friend, either way."

"Why are you even talking to me? Wouldn't you be angry, or something like that?"

"Why would I be angry?"

"I don't know, you're the one who should be angry, so you should be the one knowing why you're supposed to be angry."

What?

"Okay, that doesn't even make sense."

"I don't care. You should at least show an emotion. Angry, upset, happiness, whatever."

"Come on, Austin. Just open up."

I hear him sigh. "Fine." I hear footsteps and the door open, revealing an exhausted looking Austin. His hair is messy, so I can tell he ran his hand through it a lot, which I learned over the past three weeks that he does when he's nervous or stressed. He doesn't look at me in the eyes and goes lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. I cautiously walk over his computer chair, drag it closer to his bed, and sit on it.

"A-Are you okay?" I ask him.

He scoffs. "Just fine! You know... My best friend just told my best friend I had a crush on her. No biggie." He tells me sarcastically.

"I'm your best friend?"

"Of course!"

I look over at his nails. Olivia was right. He bite them until there was blood coming out of it.

"Does it hurt?" I ask him.

"Huh?"

"Your nails."

He looks at them. "Huh. I didn't realize I bite them that much."

"Why were you so stressed?"

"Ally, you know exactly why I was stressed."

"Okay, maybe I do. But... What's so scary? It's just me. I don't even understand how you could like me. I'm just plain old Ally."

"Plain? You?" He scoffs. "Ally, you're everything but plain."

"Austin, come on! I stutter when I talk to strangers, I'm a dork, the only party I go to is the back to school party, I'm a bookworm, I'm ugly, short, I stink at sports-" He cuts me off.

"Who cares? The things you hate about yourself are the stuff I love about you!"

"Huh?"

"I don't care if you stutter infront of strangers. I have a way worst fear than that."

"What is it?"

"Promise you won't laugh?"

"Promise."

"I'm scared of umbrellas."

"What?"

"Umbrellas. I'm scared of umbrellas."

"Why?"

"I... Don't wanna talk about it." He shakes his head. "Anyways, I like your dorky personnality. That's what makes you you! And, you're not only a dork, but you're adorkable (1)." Awwww! "I don't care if you don't go to many parties! It just means you're headstrong. You're not a party type of girl. It's your choice." He shrugs. "Who cares if you're a bookworm? If you're enjoying yourself, then nobody should say anything about it. You're definitely not ugly. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever laid my eyes on. I like how you're so short. You fit just right in my arms, and I like that. I don't care if you stink at sports! It's just not your thing!"

"You're such a sweetheart, did you know that?"

"I'm not done. I'm totally in love with your voice. It's so gentle, yet so powerfull. Just like you. I never heard any of the songs you wrote, but I'm sure they're awesome. I like how you're into music, just like me. I love how easily I can get lost into your eyes, I love your smile, and your smile... I love you." He closes his eyes and sighs.

I get up, walk over his bed, sit on it, and cautiously take his hand. I lie down next to him, also staring at the ceiling.

"This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever told me." I tell him. He looks at me, then back at the ceiling. He intertwines our fingers and I bite my lip to stop myself for breaking into a grin.

"You deserve it. You're awesome."

"Now that you told me what you like about me, it's my turn. I warn you, there's a long list."

"Go ahead." He chuckles. I giggle along with him.

"I like how you're so tall... At first, I honestly thought you could use it to hurt me." I see him frown from the corner of my eyes. "But then, I realized you could also use it to protect me. I like how you seem to care about everyone around you, either if they're populars, jocks, nerds, outcasts, or anything else. I like how your eye colour changes with your feelings."

"How did you noticed that?"

"I'm a really observing person. They get darker when you're angry or upset, and they turn a clearer shade when you're happy, or excited." I explain. "I like how you can be carefree and let go so easily. I like how you're so patient with Nelson when you teach him piano. I like how you talk to a stranger like you've known them for years. I like how caring you are. And you're such a sweetheart." I finish and lie my head on his shoulder.

"But do you like me back?"

I take a deep breath. Am I really going to do this? Yes, I am. "No." His face fall.


A/N: I was seriously tempt to stop it here, but I could't do this to you, guys.

Sorry for the interruption!

Back on the story!


"But I love you back, though." His face lights up again and he looks at me.

"Really?"

"Of course! Why wouldn't I? You're just the sweetest guy ever!" He grins he hugs me tightly. "Austin! Can't... Breathe!" I manage to choke out.

"Sorry." He pulls away, but keeps an arm around me.

"Aww!" Olivia says, getting in Austin's room.

"Liv? Were you spying on us?" Austin asks her.

"Yup. And so were they." She opens the door wider, revealing Dez, Trish, Becca, Megan, Nelson, and Trish is holding her iPhone, with Emma on facetime. Seriously?!

"Hey, guys." Trish says, as everyone else wave awkwardly.

"Have you ever heard the word 'privacy'?" Austin snaps a bit.

I gently place my hand on Austin's shoulder, as he's glaring at everyone.

"Austin, calm down! It's fine!" I tells him.

"But... They were spying on us!"

"It's not a reason to kill them!"

"Ugh, just kiss, already!" Trish tells us. We all look at her. "What? We all know they want to do that."

"Yeah! And we can help convince you to do it!" Dez says, gesturing to Nelson, Megan, and himself. "'Cause we're..." He begins.

"The love whisperers." They all whisper at the same time. (A/N: Thanks to LoveShipper for the idea! :) Just a warning, I might also use it in later chapters.)

"Guys, can you just-" Austin cuts me off. By kissing me. I hear the others cheering in the background, but I don't pay attention to it.

After a couple of seconds (or was it minutes?), we pull away.

"Sorry. I've been waiting to do that since I realized my feelings for you." He tells me.

"It took you long enough." I tell him and peck his lips.

"So... Are you two Auslly, now?" Emma asks us.

I look at Austin. "If you want to."

"Well, in that case, Ally... I don't know your middle name... Dawson, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Her middle name is Marie!" Becca tells him.

"Right." He nods.

"I would be honored, Austin... I don't know your middle name... Moon!"

"It's Monica!" Emma tells me.

I laugh. "Monica?" Austin stays dead serious. "Wait, she's not joking?"

"Unfortunately." He tells me.

"Well, I gotta go." Emma tells us. "Bye, guys!"

"Bye!" Trish's phone screen goes black.

"I have to go, too. My mom's waiting for me in the car." Nelson says, walking away.

"Same here. Bye, guys! And don't forget: Auslly forever!" Megan says, walking away.

"I better get going, too. We're ordering chinese food, tonight. Bye, guys!" Trish says, before walking out.

"Well, I need to go feed my pinguin. Bye!" Dez follows Trish.

"And they were four." Austin says.

"Becca, wanna stay over? Ally's already plannning on staying here, so why not you, too?" Olivia asks her.

"Sure! I just need to call Lester."

"Lester? Who's that?" Olivia asks.

"My dad." I tell her. "I'll text him we're staying here." I tell them, getting out my phone. I text him and he quickly answers. Of course, the answer includes 'no funny business'. Like I'd do something like that (note the sarcasm). Austin chuckles as he reads my dad's reply over my shoulder. "You think that's funny?"

"Maybe." He shrugs. I slap his shoulder. "Oww! What was that for?!"

"It's funny." I shrug.

"I'll go order some pizza." Olivia says.

"I'll go with you." Becca tells her. She nods and the walk away. "Remember, no funny business!" Becca calls over her shoulder, and I hear Olivia laugh.

I guess I have to prepare myself for a night at the Moon's.


Another chapter over! Thanks again for all the feedback, guys! I enjoy and read every single review I get. I'm honestly jumping up and down everytime I see I got a new review, or someone favorited or followed my story.

Please review!

(1) Ross said that to describe Laura on a livestream chat (I think that what you call those things). I was totally fangirling! It was so cute! Aww!

Random statement of the day: I saw a rainbow, the other day. The minute after, I looked back to it, and it was gone. About ten minutes later, I looked back again, and it has reappeared! What. The. Hell?!

Anyways, that was my random statement of the day.

Until next time,

R5AAFan :)
