Hey guys. Back with an amazing new chapter (just saying :p)! So some of this will take place at the arcade where Austin and Ally take Patrick. But also this will have Elliot in it and with this story he's Pipers love interest, not Ally's.
Of coarse there's nothing I own.
"Hurry up, Ally! You're moving like a turtle," Patrick teased. Ally was making her way to the car, taking her sweet time.
"Being impatient never got anyone anywhere," she warned. Austin nodded.
"She's right Patrick. It's all about patience. Your sister is a wise woman," he said naturally. Ally turned to him awkwardly.
"Did you just call me a 'wise woman'?" she put quotes around the words. Austin smiled.
"Hey, I'm just stating the facts."
"Of coarse you take the girls side," he sighed. "We used to be tight man."
"Come on bud, it's you and me," he bent down to his level to give him a piggyback ride as they made their way to the car. Ally opened the door and unlocked it. Austin swallowed the lump that was growing on his throat. Patrick was still on his back.
"You okay?" Ally asked, making her way into the car. Austin had been to the arcade lots of times and it was a walking distance, which he was grateful for.
"Uh, I'm just gonna walk..." he took Patrick off his shoulders, making him frown. "Go with your sister." His whisper was loud enough for Ally to hear.
"Nun uh. Austin, what's bothering you?" Ally demanded. Austin hesitated.
"I... I..." he stuttered through his words. Tell her you're afraid to get in the car! a voice hissed in his mind. But their was a louder voice. Don't tell her that! She'll think you're a wimp!
Ally won't think that! the other voice argued.
"I can't get in that car," he said casually. Ally's eyes softened. She now knew what this was about. She didn't blame him either.
"Oh... I-I get it..." she felt awkward.
"Yeah..." he shrugged it off. Patrick brightened when he had an idea.
"Ally, can I go with Austin? Please?" he begged, jerking her arm. The brunette looked uncertain.
"I don't know..." she trailed off. She really did care about her brother. And if anything happened to him, she would kill Austin, then her parents would kill her. Afraid that would happen, Ally shook her head. "No, you'll see Austin when we get there."
"Yeah," Austin agreed. "If anything happened to you... Ally would need a shovel to bury my body."
"Austin, don't be so graphic with him," she warned, even though she knew it was true. "Now be careful, there's a lot of crazy people here."
The only reason she warned him because Austin was used to friendly people, living in Oklahoma. Before he knew it, Ally was hugging him.
"I couldn't afford to lose you," she whispered. He tightened his grip on her. "You're one of the most important people in my life. You've helped me so much."
"Ally," he whispered back. "I'm always gonna be here. Remember, I promised you. You've helped me too."
"How have I helped?"
"Getting over the death of my family and everything."
"You still have Piper," she pointed out.
"I know. But she's growing up so fast," a tear streamed down his cheek. He was basically an orphan. If Piper left him, he would have no family. All he would have was Ally. But if Ally left him, his heart would officially brake. It was already half broken, and Ally was fixing it, removing the scars that were in his heart.
Patrick stood there, playing with his thumbs as they continued to hug and whisper. He never saw such ridiculous behavior. But seeing his sister so happy made him smile. He knew she had been kind of depressed these days. But he never told her.
He knew that he couldn't keep his sister from falling in love with Austin; and he couldn't keep Austin from falling in love either. He knew it was happening, and there was nothing to do to stop it. He didn't want to stop it. He knew it was happening no matter how much they denied it.
...
Once at the arcade, Austin went for the basketball-shooting game.
"Alright, Ally, it's very important to put your elbows back when you're shooting," Austin advised. He held her by her waist as he instructed her how to play.
"Like this?" she asked, tucking her elbows in as he told her. He let go of her, allowing her to shoot. And right there, she made a perfect basket in. Austin smiled, impressed.
"Good job Dawson. I'm impressed," he admitted. "Now let all-star Austin try!" he frowned as he didn't make it in. Shuffling his feet with embarrassment, he said, "Maybe we should play a different game."
"Don't be a soar loser Austin," Ally said through the loud music.
"Yeah," Patrick came into the conversation. "Boys are still better than girls."
Austin nodded. "Of coarse." Ally rolled her eyes playfully. She knew they were kidding. At least Austin was...
As time went by, they played more and more games; they were almost out of tokens. They were now outside in the parking lot.
"I need to use the bathroom real quick," Ally said. "Austin can you watch Patrick? Don't let him wander anywhere."
"Of coarse. I won't let him go anywhere," he promised. Ally nodded in thanks as she walked away. "Alright, what do you wanna do now?" he looked down at Patrick.
"Can you give me another piggyback ride?" his asked with puppy-dog eyes that Austin couldn't resist. Austin leaned down to his level.
"Sure, but just until Ally comes back," he said, bending his back down. Patrick jumped on it. Austin began to spin the little boy around, making airplane noises while Patrick laughed. He was glad to hear him laughing after his... accident.
"What a loving father," Austin turned around to see an older women with a little girl about Patrick's age holding her hand. Her granddaughter, he guessed. That's when he realized what she actually said.
"Oh, you think..." he trailed off. But before he could finish, the women left. Austin decided not to tell Ally about that little episode, and he told Patrick not to either.
Austin walked back home too. It was getting late and he was getting tired. He unlocked the door with his house key; and walked in to see an excited Piper.
"Austin Austin Austin!" she called excitedly, running up to him.
"What what what?" he teased. Piper grinned ear-to-ear.
"Elliot and I talked today. And he asked me out!" she squealed. Austin looked in surprise. Piper had just met him, and now he asked her out? Man, I wish I had his confidence, Austin thought. He's been wanting to ask Ally out ever since he figured out he liked her, he just couldn't find the right words.
But Piper was different then him. Elliot was different. He must have had great courage to ask a girl out that he just met.
He shook his head when he realized he wasn't answering. "That's great!" he exclaimed. He should be happy for his sister, not sad for himself.
"I know! What should I do? What should I wear?" she questioned. Austin shrugged. He knew nothing about any of that stuff.
"Uh... maybe Ally could help you with that," he suggested. Piper's eyes widened.
"Would she?"
"I'm sure," he smiled. Ally was always willing to help out. She was a friend to Piper now so it would be no problem.
...
The day of Piper's date came and as expected, Ally helped her with her outfit. Austin was feeling really protective right now, even if he was the younger brother. Ross was gone now. Who else would be there to protect her?
Austin waited on the coach to see his sister. He was sure she'd look great. Soon her saw her appear from her room; Ally following and holding Piper's shoulders. Her hair was curled, and she was wearing a pink dress. A/N- Like in the prom episodes.
Ally did a good job with her. "Oh, Piper, you look great!" Austin complimented.
"You really think so?"
"Yeah, Elliot will be drooling," he said. Piper studied herself.
"Well I have Ally to thank," she turned to the brunette that shrugged.
"Hey, all I did was your hair, dress, and makeup," she made it sound like it was nothing. But it really was a lot.
"I can't think you enough," Piper hugged Ally, who looked surprised. It was funny how nice they were to each other. One minute, Piper was a bully, and now they got along like old friends. Things really can change.
Austin never truly forgave Piper for all that he put Ally through. But she was his sister and only family.
"Anytime," Ally smiled. It was silent for a few moments until there was a knock on the door. Elliot, Austin guessed. Piper almost tripped running to the door with excitement. He smiled in amusement at his sister that always acted like a child.
Austin and Ally walked up to Piper and Elliot.
"Woah... Piper..." Elliot could barley speak. "...you look... great..."
Austin saw his sister blush.
"Thanks. Not to bad yourself," she laughed.
"Hey, Elliot," Austin waved at him. "I'm Piper's brother, Austin." he introduced. "I bet you've heard a lot about me."
"Not really," he said. Austin frowned. Piper didn't talk about him? He shuffled his feet.
"Well..." he had nothing else to say.
"We should get going," Elliot dismissed. Piper was about to walk out but was stopped by Austin's "Wait". They turned to him.
"Elliot, if you hurt her, you'll have me to deal with," he warned. If anyone hurt his sister, they were gone.
"I understand," Elliot nodded. Piper rolled her eyes at him.
"Alright, we're gonna go now, see ya later. Don't worry, you'll have Ally," she winked at him. He glanced at Ally. She was beautiful to him. He watched his sister go. Be safe, he thought.
Ally nudged him. "She'll be fine Austin," she assured as if she could read his thoughts. He knew she would be the same way when Patrick went on his first date.
"They just grow up so fast," he muttered.
"If I didn't know you, I wouldn't think you were the older brother," she admitted. Austin had always acted like the older brother in a protective way. Bit they were protective of each other and always had the others back.
"We only have each other," he reminded her.
"I know. I'm sorry," she leaned on his shoulders. "So what do you wanna do?" I think for a moment.
"Wanna watch a movie?" he suggested. Ally brightened.
"Sure. What do ya got?"
"Piper mostly has Disney movies," he told her. Piper never really was into "adult movies". She always stayed a kid. Ally did look like she minded.
"Does she have The Lion King? That's one of my favorites!"
"Yeah, I think so," he answered. He looked into the closet where the movies were. They were all kid movies. He looked through them. Finally, he found the movie he was looking for. "Here it is."
It was on VHS, so they couldn't watch it on the Xbox in his room. They would have to watch it in the living room. He sat Ally down on the couch while he got blankets and made popcorn. He handed her the bowl of popcorn and tucked her in the blanket. He also ran to the kitchen and handed her a juice box.
"Thanks, you didn't have to do all of this."
"Hey, it's movie night. And only the best for Ally Dawson," he smirked as he put in the movie. He took a seat next to Ally and tucked himself under the covers.
Ally scooted a little closer to him, and he did the same. He felt his hand getting closer to hers. And with a tingling sensation, he felt their hands connect.
Really hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review! :)
