You guys may be mad at me after this chapter, BUT BEAR WITH ME. =] I promise I'm not evil.

Ally's POV

The video was the most sweetest thing I have ever seen, and it made me hate myself even more.

The video was set to Better Together, a song I had written for Austin some time ago. It was perfect.

The video consisted of different pictures and videos of Austin and I. From the very beginning. When we first met, becoming partners, to launching a music career. it showed us writing songs and fooling around. Hanging out with Trish and Dez. Playing instruments in Sonic Boom. Overall, it showed two people, who were obviously best friends. To everyone else, it probably looked like we were together, like boyfriend and girlfriend. I could understand how someone would think Austin and I were in love, based on the video.

And I hated it. I mean, it was the greatest video I had ever seen, and obviously Dez put it together, it was fantastic. It just...it made me realize something.

I don't have a crush on this blonde haired boy I call my best friend. I'm in love with him.

So, now my decision is that much harder, but I know what I have to do.

So, when the video ended, I was in tears, I looked at Austin. He gave me a huge smile, and said "There's no way I could be here without you Ally. You're amazing."

We hugged, and I lost it. I can't leave him. How could I? But, I couldn't stay.

I broke away from the hug, and I ran out of the room. Austin followed me.

"Ally!"

I spun around to face him, letting all of my emotions carry me away. "I'm sorry Austin. I'm sorry I went to New York, I should have been here. I'm sorry I didn't tell you what One Direction wanted. I just couldn't!"

"Ally, Alls. Its fine. I get it."

"No you don't Austin! I haven't made a choice yet! I don't know what I'm going to do!"

But, as I said this, I knew. I knew exactly what I would do.

"Well..?"

"Ally, its your choice. I mean, I wish you would stay with me. You're my best friend and..." He looked down, his face getting red.

I knew something big was happening. "And what?"

He looked up at me, into my eyes. "Ally, I'm in love with you."

Oh my god. Oh my god. OH MY GOD. Did he really just say that? There's no way. "What?"

"Ally. Dez made me realize, that you're not just a friend to me. You are more than just my friend or my songwriter. I love you. And I know this is a totally rotten time to say something like this, because you're trying to make a hard decision. Its just, you need to know."

I was stunned, my heart was beating like crazy. I FELT crazy. This is unreal. HE loves ME. I could never imagine something like this. But, I didn't know what to say. I was speechless.

"Ally...please say something."

I couldn't. I had to leave. I couldn't be around him. This was obviously some crude joke. I wouldn't fall for it. He just wanted me to stick around and write for him. But then again, this was AUSTIN. He wouldn't do something like that to me.

"I'm sorry Austin."

And I ran away.

When I got to my room, I booked the next flight leaving to New York. I was done with Chicago.

I'd meet my friends back in Miami.

I needed to have a talk with One Direction, and try not to cry my heart out.

Trish barged into the room, "Ally! How could you do that, just run out like that. Wait, where are you going?"

"I'm going back to New York."

"But, Ally, you can't! Austin loves having you with him! I thought you were having fun? Didn't you like the video?"

"Trish, it was great, really. It's just-" So I told her. I told her why One Direction wanted to meet with me, and why I hadn't given them an answer yet.

"There's one more thing. Austin just told me he's in love with me."

She gave me a huge smile, "Well, its about time!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, you guys are obviously perfect for each other, and Dez and I have been trying all week to get you two together. That's why we made the video."

"Trish, we're not together."

"I don't get it. He said he loved you.."

"Yeah, and I ran away."

"ALLY! Why would you do that? Don't you love him too?"

"Well...yeah. Yeah I do."

"Then, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to New York."

"After he told you he loves you."

"I have a decision to make, and I can't do it here. I'll meet you guys back in Miami." I started walking out, "Trish? Will you tell Austin that I'm leaving for me? I don't want to see him right now. Please?"

"Of course Ally."

"And, tell him I'm sorry. Again."

"I will."

I gave my best friend a hug, and I left. I really need to get out of Chicago. I have five boys to go talk to.
