*Ally's POV*
I don't know what I'm going to do. I just told Austin I love him, I truly love him, but I'm scared that Kira will do something to me. I know I should tell Austin or someone about that man but I have no proof of it happening. What if they say they don't believe me? I couldn't take that. Obviously Kira isn't going to come clean about it, I just don't know what to do, I'm so confused. Why can't I just march up to her and tell her to back off? Oh yeah because she's more older, stronger and confident than me!
Beep, beep. My phone buzzed beside me, I reluctantly picked it up. An unknown number flashed across the screen as I read the text, Hey Ally don't forget our little promise ;). An uneasy feeling began to rise in my stomach, I have no idea what I'm going to do. In a rush of anger and confusion, I throw my phone across the room. "I know." I whispered to the texter who sent the message. Why is love like this? Why couldn't I just fall in love normally? Maybe I should have stuck with Love Is For Losers way of life, because now I'm in this mess, this twisted love sick mess and I can't go back without my heart breaking or someone's face getting beaten.
"Ally, come down here!" I heard my dad shout from downstairs, he sounded angry. I didn't want to go down but I swallowed my feelings and wiped all aspects of confusion and helplessness from my face. I came down and faced my dad with an emotionless face, "Yes dad." His face was red as he held out his phone, "What is this?" There on the tiny screen was a news article with a picture of me from Austin's party last month, another one from our date on the beach and many more, all of them confirming that we had something more than friends going on. I just stared at the picture like a dead emotionless body, showing nothing of affection apart from the blushing of my cheeks. He wasn't having any of it as he whipped the phone away from me, "Do you mind telling me what you are doing going around with this man at least double your age?" Anger began cracking through my numb mask, "He's only 24, I'm 18. I think I'm allowed to date someone." His face got even redder as he started breathing heavy, "He's a creep who has no right to go out with a young girl like you. I'm very disappointed with you Ally, as long as you live under my roof I refused to let you go out with that boy." I let all the rage pour out of me like a river, "Fine I won't live here anymore!" I ran out to my bedroom, grabbed a suitcase and packed whatever I could find into it. I didn't know where I would go but I needed to get out of here. Beeeeep beeeep beeep. I grabbed my phone and answered it, "Hello?", my voice came out harsher than I wanted it to be. "Ally, Its Austin. Are you okay?" I took a deep breath, "Yeah its just my dad is indirectly kicking me out so I have nowhere to go."
"Aww sweetheart you can stay over here. Will I collected you now?" Tears started to escape as the reality of the situation hit me. "Yeah, thanks Austin."
"Shh it's alright Ally, I'll be there in a bit. Bye."
"Bye." I dropped my phone as tears poured out of me, I started crying, I just stood there and let all the emotions pour out of me until I saw headlights. I grabbed my suitcase and ran to the door, I looked at my house, memories started flooding my mind as I forced myself to turn the handle of the door. Tears started burning my eyes again but when I saw Austin I couldn't help smiling.
"I don't blame him. If a weird older man was going out with an innocent young girl like you. I'd question his motivations too." Austin and I were on his bed looking up at the ceiling as I recalled what had happened at my house. He took my hand and held it, "But now that it has happened to me, I realise that it doesn't matter how old I am or how young you are, it just matters that I love you." I looked deeply into his eyes, showing all the pain and experience of his past and I realised that it doesn't matter, I do love him. "I love you too." I closed my eyes, forgot about the day and curled up into his chest as he sang me to sleep.
Who's gonna make you fall in love,
I know you get your walls wrapped all the way around your heart,
Don't have to be scared at all, Oh my love.
But you can't fly unless you let yourself,
Can't fly unless you let yourself fall.
I will catch you if you fly,
I will catch you if you fly.
But if you spread your wings you can fly away with me.
But you can't fly unless you let yourself fall.
