Why are you reading this authors note? You should really just skip it and go straight to the good stuff. Also, dedicated to one of my best friends, Sabrina, who unknowingly inspired me to write this chapter. Thanks for your support! =]

Her Spring Break didn't start very well. All she managed to do was make herself realize she could lose Austin forever next year. Why did she always do this to herself?
No wonder she was so down all the time.

She had to write a song. She had nothing else to do. No other way to express her feelings. No way to get it out.
Just because nobody would ever hear it didn't mean she couldn't write it, right?
Come to think of it, maybe she'd just show Trish.

Just stop thinking about him, Ally, stop doing this to yourself. Just don't think about Austin and everthing will be okay. Maybe. Hopefully everything would turn out right, and if it didn't...
She would lose one of the most important people in her life. She couldn't let that happen, she didn't know what she'd do if she lost Austin.
Maybe she should keep her feelings to herself...

Today, in fourth period, inspiration hit her.
I'm the fool
In love with the fool
Who's still in love with you
She sighed, three lines was better than nothing. So she placed her lucky pencil between the pages and shut her book.

Ally sighed as she watched Austin and Kira smile in front of the gym doors. She was coming from Spanish class, like she always did, and he and Kira always met at the corner in front of the gym.
It killed her to see them together. Kira was a sweet girl, but Ally was certain that she'd never feel about Austin the way Ally did.

Ally decided today that she wanted her friends to bond to Elliot. So she called Dez, Trish, Austin, and Elliot and planned to have a sleepover at Sonic Boom. They would watch movies all night and Elliot could get closer to her friends.
Because obviously Austin and Kira were working out, so she should get used to the fact that she will never be able to call Austin hers.
Right?
April 6th, 2013
Ally had everything planned out for tonight, it was going to go perfectly. She'd bought fuzzy blankets and fluffy pillows and snacks, and rented some of her friends's favorite movies. She got Zaliens, and even Bikini Beach Bloodbath, she knew Austin would like that one.
She also grabbed The Shining, she'd heard it was legendary, but had never seen it herself.
Tonight would be fun.
Later that night...
"I'm scared," Ally mumbled, normally horror movies didn't scare her. But The Shining was no ordinary horror movie. Elliot grinned at her, "It's just a movie, babe," he wrapped his arm around her, but she didn't feel any better. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Austin roll his eyes and glance at Kira, who seemed bored.
After they'd finished the movies, everyone fell asleep. Except for Ally. That movie just kept replaying in her head.
All she could imagine was she was trapped in the hotel, and Jack Torrance was trying to murder her too. She wasn't read to die, she had so much to live for.
Half asleep, half still entranced in her terrible nightmares, Ally started talking in her sleep. Well, it started as mumbling, then escalated to screaming.
"Austin! Austin help me!" she'd screamed in her sleep. This woke everyone up, excluding Kira, who seemed to be able to sleep through anything. Elliot crawled towards her and took her in his arms, "Shh, babe, it's Elliot, it's okay, I'm here."
"No! NO! I want Austin!" She screamed in her sleep, pushing Elliot away. Her outburst took Austin by surprise. When at first she'd called for him, he wasn't exactly shocked. He was closer to her then Elliot was. But after denying Elliot, and demanding Austin, he hated to admit it, but it made him feel good.
"Ally, babe, it's Elliot, you're okay," he tried to soothe her but she just kept shoving him away. "No, I need Austin! I want Austin!" she cried, breaking down into tears.
"Austin! You heard the woman!" Trish said, trying to withold the grin that was trying so hard to escape. She had always favored Auslly over Alliot.
Austin just looked at Elliot, who was angry by now. He couldn't understand why his girlfriend was screaming for another guy, why was she running to Austin for comfort when she should've been looking for him?
But nevertheless, Austin answered the cry of help coming from his princess. He scrambled over to her and tried to shake her awake, "Ally! Ally, listen, it's Austin, you're alright, you're just having a bad dream," the blonde whispered, wrapping his arms around her.
She stopped screaming, but her breathing didn't slow down, she was gasping for air like she had just run a marathon. But she locked her arms around his neck and mumbled four simple words before she cried herself back to a quiet and peacful sleep, "I love you, Austin."
This was my all time favorite chapter. Let's just see how things get interesting from here...
