Hey, guys! I'm SO sorry I didn't update in a week. I was grounded and wasn't allowed with my phone or laptop.
And this chapter will be VERY short because I'm kind of going through a little bit of writer's block :(
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin & Ally or The Fault in our Stars.
Ally could feel her heart beat in her chest. She just kissed Austin Moon... the one man who she has been secretly hoping she could kiss for months. As the kiss replayed in her head again and again, she could feel her cheeks heating up. A smile formed on her face and her boyfriend smiled back, him also blushing.
"You know, you're really beautiful when you blush. It's cute," Austin said, almost as if what just happened hadn't. Of course, saying this was no help to Ally, whose cheeks went even more red to the point she could have probably been easily mistaken for a big tomato.
Evan came out of the bathroom a few seconds later and the three walked back to their beach towel, Ally noticing a man winking at her and giving him a nasty look. What douchebags, she thought.
A few hours later, Ally was sitting on her bed reading a book when Austin walked in. "Hey, Ally," he greeted, smiling. "Hey," she said, not looking up from her book. "What are you reading?" he asked, carelessly turning up the cover to see the title. "It's The Fault in our Stars. Now stop," she scolded, annoyed. "The Fault in Our Stars? Isn't that the one about the girl with cancer who fell in love with What's-His-Face?" Austin asked, tilting his head and raising his eyebrows. "Austin, it's a really beautiful love story, and it's adorable! I've read it at least a million times," Ally stated. Austin sat next to her on the bed. "Well, you know how it ends anyway, so wanna talk?" Austin suggested. Ally put the book down. "About what?" she asked.
"I don't know. I think you should tell me why you would be driven to the point of cutting yourself," he said smoothly. Ally dropped her book in shock and looked at him; he had a look of pure innocence on his face. Ally instantly fell like crying and she didn't know why. "Do I have to talk about it?" she croaked. "I'd like you to. You don't have to, though, but you know I'll help you," he answered.
"But it was a long time ago. I don't see the point in talking about it now. I already told you, I was going through tough times. I'm not anymore, so I don't do it anymore. Case closed," she snapped. Austin sighed. "I know, Ally, but it's just that I'm worried you'll start it again. You don't deserve it, and I don't have the slightest idea why you thought you did," he said.
"Austin, you don't have to be worried about me. I won't do it again," she lied. She had no idea if she'd ever start again. "Ally, you don't know that! I'm worried about you. What if you did start again? What if you became suicidal again? What if you killed yourself? Who would I have? I'd have no one to say 'I love you' to when I'm in a serious relationship with them because I'd never want to date again. I want that time to come for us, Ally. Either that, or I want to be your best friend again. I don't care what timeline goes, but I need you, Ally," he shouted.
Ally felt a shock of guilt in her chest. "Austin, can you please stop yelling at me? I already told you, it's done and over with," she croaked. Austin seemed to calm down. "I'm sorry, Ally, but I just can't stand to lose you. I'm way too worried about you," he admitted, putting his arm around her and giving her a hug, kissing her forehead.
"Are you hungry? Your mom wants to know if you want hot dogs for dinner," he said, changing the subject. "Yeah, I guess I'm a little hungry," she considered. "Do you want me to bring it to you?" Austin offered. "No, but thanks. I can get it myself," she replied. He smiled at her and walked out of the room.
The rest of Spring Break was uneventful but still went by pretty fast. She was back in the school in a very short time. Trish went crazy when Ally told her she started dating Austin and everyone looked at her.
Cassidy didn't want to leave Ally alone when she found out about her and Austin dating. At lunch, whenever Ally was in earshot, she'd say something like, "I feel bad for Austin. He must be blind to be dating something like that. Is it even a female?" or, "Austin could do way better than Ally. He's just pitying her. Though she doesn't deserve sympathy. What an attention whore."
Ally found herself not caring about Cassidy, but she did still wonder if what she aid was true. Shaking it off because it obviously wasnt, she returned back to her dorm at the end of the day.
