"Grandma?" I ask.

"Ally, what are you talking Bout. I thought no one was looking for you?" Austin whispers in my ear.

"Yes, it's me. I have signed you out of the hospital."

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"To sign you out of the hospital of course."

"I meant, how did you find me. Why after all these years did you decide to come looking for me?"

"Can we do this somewhere more private. How about the park?"

I look up at Austin and nod.

"I'll drive." Austin says.

We go to the park and sit at a picnic bench. Austin sits next to me while the lady sits in front of me.

"Goodie." She smiles.

"How come you wanted to find me after two years. Two years!"

"I did."

"You did? Obviously you never tired hard enough. You could have just easily been able to have custody over me. You are my moms parent. It's that simple. They would have put you in custody with me. But you just threw me away like some garbage bag."

"I'm sorry. I didn't think that I was able to take care of a teen."

"Well, look at me now! I've practically been on my own for the past two years now. I can handle myself. I can't talk right now. Heres my number." I slide her a piece of paper to her with my cell number on it. "If you want to talk to me, I will only answer you back when I'm ready. I'm not ready, right now. You know you can't do this. You can't just waltz your way in the hospital and then sign me out like that. I haven't seen you for three years. You think that I'm going to let you in that easily. I wondered for so long why you didn't contact me. It was just hopeless. Now I am leaving. Come on, Austin. Drive me to your place?"

"Uh, yeah. Sure." I stand up and almost fall over but Austin catches me. He helps me stand up straight. I see my grandma stand up in worried ness.

"Oh, so you care now? Huh? Let's go." Austin picks me up and walks me to his car. He drives me to his house.

"What was that all about?" Austin asks me.

"I just got pissed off a little."

"A little?"

"Austin, please don't. I'm not in the mood for a lecture right now. I just want to hang out with you. Get my mind off of everything. Everything's better with you."

"That's good."

We arrive at his house and he brings me into the house and sets me on the couch. "You know I can walk myself, right?"

"The way you almost fell over at the park? I'll be your Superhero." He winks at me and goes into the kitchen. I smile and laugh a little. "Do you want anything?"

"A glass of water would be great, thanks."

He comes out of the kitchen with a glass of water and hands it to me. He lifts my legs up and replaces them by sitting down and setting my legs on his lap.

"So what's up?" I ask him.

"Ally?"

"What?"

"I think we need to talk about what happened earlier. And a month ago."

"What are you talking about?"

"Ally, we have something. It may not be obvious but we do. Our "hang-outs"," He does air quotes with his fingers, "They aren't just hangouts and you know it. We care too much of each other."

"Let me stop you right there." I grab his hand. "I know what you mean. But our friendship is too great to let it go away by us dating. And yes, I said the word. Dating. If we date, everything will change."

"But that's a change I am willing to make."

"Austin, I don't know if it's a good idea that we..." I am interrupted when his lips are pressed against mine. Moving in sync, we kiss each other passionately. It feels just like the first time I kissed Austin. Only one thousand million times better! We release our kiss and look in each other's eyes. Those beautiful and handsome chocolate brown eyes that I could lost in for days. Maybe even forever. His eyes, they make me melt. I smile at his gesture and he smiles back with a small laugh.

"That we what?"

"You know what, never mind. What I have here is just perfect." We hug and he lifts me to his room. I can walk perfectly normal but he's just a gentleman. That's another reason why I like him.
