Hey guys! Think i owe you all an update! This should've been done like a day after my last update but wasn't sure like how to write it. :D
Important: Guys, at the end of the chapter theres like a voting thing like things that are gonna happen in future chapters, you can choose what you wanna see next:)
Review replies:
Guest: i totally understand how you feel about the story being depressing but thats the whole point of the story. We need to see how Austin's words hurt Ally a lot and how she can't just forgive him. And we need to see that Austin broke Ally's and Ari's trust and he needs to do something a bit more than just a simple apology to gain it back. Hopefully the story from this point onwards is going to be slightly less depressing:)
Guest: Don't worry! Youll soon get some Auslly, step by step.
Taylorauslly: well here's the update and don't worry i've already got a idea for the sequel. Even though this isn't close to an ending, lol
I would've sent u a pm but it wasn't working
You guys the beginning's a bit rubbish but it gets better:)
I know it's short but it's one of my fav chapter
And thnx to everyone who reviewed, favourited or followed.
On with the chapter...
I'm sorry!
Chapter 16
Enjoy...
Ally took a glance at her daughter while she was driving. Ari was smiling and laughing and giggling and telling Ally all about her day in kindergarten. Apparently when is was Ari's turn for her and her dad to come up, Dez had come in, wearing a clown costume, saying that he was Ari's uncle, which he was, and that her dad couldn't make it. He had entertained her whole class for the rest of the lesson and she had the best time ever! As long as she was happy, Ally was happy.
Later on...
Ally's p.o.v
I was washing the dishes when i heard the doorbell ring. I wiped my hands and went to open it. I slowly lifted my hand up and twisted the handle. The wind blew straight into my face and a note landed at my feet. I stared down at it.
"Are you gonna read it or just stare at it?" I jumped at the sudden voice. I turned around, my hand on my heart only to find...Trish?
"Oh, it's you,"
"Yh so the note..."
"Before that how'd you get into my house?"
"I still have the key from 6 years ago, duh!" She replied back as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
I just nodded and bent forward to pick the note up. It said:
'Follow the trail...'
"Follow the trail..." Trish read from over my shoulder. A smile was plastered on Trish's face while mine showed confusion. Who would do this? What trail?
"Awwwww that is just so romantic!" Trish cooed ," go on then, ill look after Ari," she told me.
"You sure?" I questioned her ,in response she just handed me my shoes and pushed me out the door.
Only when i got outside did i see the trail. A trail of red rose petals followed from the end of my welcome mat all the way as far as the eye could see. Who would do this? Did Brandon put all this together? I took a few steps and by now i was walking on the pavement. Another little note came into view. "I'm sorry 4 everything that i said..." I read as i held the small note. I was still very confused but i kept following the trail. I was overwhelmed even though i was still confused.
Someone probably took a lot of time to go ahead and plan all of this. And for that i was extremely grateful. Never would i have thought someone would do this for me...well apart from Austin when we were together. I was broken out of my thoughts when i heard the rustle of a paper. I bent down. This one was taped to the ground. "I'm sorry 4 my behaviour.:(" was what was scribbled messily on the paper. I put it into my coat pocket along with the others. I started skipping along the trail once again. The wind blowing through my hair, creating a gentle breeze. I had my doubts about who it was, but i decided to wait and find out. Enjoy the little gesture that he had put together. It was beautiful evening. The sun was just setting. It looked like a big, yellow fireball, in the distance. Shades of yellow ,oranges and reds covered the sky above me like a thick blanket. It looked beautiful. "I'm sorry that i hurt you," I read off the paper, before placing it into my pocket.
I kept walking. It felt nice. The wind seemed to calm me down a bit. If you listened closely you could hear that it was singing a tune of it's own. The clouds seemed to have all disappeared suddenly. The moon now lit the night sky; with help from the stars.
I found the next note taped to a lamppost "i'm sorry the only thing i'm good at it is making you cry..." The handwriting looked familiar and then i definitely knew who it was. I smiled.
I found the next one taped onto a brick wall. "I'm sorry that i can no longer make you smile." Was what the next one read.
"I'm sorry 4 everything that i said.."
"I know that i was wrong and rude and selfish in the past but i had no intention to hurt you..."
Were what the next couple of notes said.
"I hope you can forgive me...xoxoxo". I smiled at the words on the small piece of paper. I neatly placed it into my pocket before I started to follow the trail once again. I found the next one taped on to the grass of the hill that the rose petal trail had led me to.
It was a beautiful hill that overlooked the whole of Miami. The moon shone brighter than ever now. It lit the whole place up. I scanned the hill. There was a heart made out of marigold flower petals, the inside was then covered in pink rose petals. Marigolds were always my favourite. He still remembered. I can't believe he still remembered! I felt myself glow with happiness at the thought that even after 5 nearly six long years he still managed to remember what flower was my favourite. I carried on looking and saw that heart shaped candles were outlining the heart of petals. "I'm Sorry!" Was what was spelled underneath, in flowers.
I looked back down. At the note. "Forever and always..." I grinned. A huge ,goofy grin that reached my eyes.
"You know i mean it," said a voice. I raised my head. It was Austin. He had a guitar strapped around his shoulder. I looked at him in the eyes, they held all the sincerity in the world. I gave a small nod. "I do," i whispered.
"Ally i wrote this song for you. You were and always will be my biggest inspiration. I'm sorry for everything i did. I never meant to make you upset or sad or make you cry. But it just happened, you know? Ally i have never been good at expressing my feelings but music has always been huge part of both our lives so please just listen:
Tear drops in your hazel eyes
I can't believe I made you cry
It feels so long since we went wrong
But you're still on my mind
Never meant to break your heart
Sometimes things just fall apart
So heres one night to make it right
Before we say goodbye
So wait up, wait up
Give me one more chance
To make up, make up
I just need one last dance
Freshman year I saw your face
Now its graduation day
Said we'd be friends, till the end
Can we start again?
So wait up, wait up
Give me one more chance
To make up, make up
I just need one last dance
Na na na na oh-oh
Na na na na oh-oh
I heard you're heading east
So lets just make our peace
So when you think of me
You'll smile, and I'll smile
So wait up, wait up
Give me one more chance
To make up, make up
I just need one last dance
So wait up, wait up
Give me one more chance
Just one song, then I'll move on
Give me one last dance
I just need one last dance with you
Oh-woah
I could feel the tears stinging the corners of my eyes. Austin had put so much passion and emotion into that song. You could feel it. It certainly didn't help when he started talking. I let the tears fall. I didn't wipe them away. Just let them fall freely.
"Ally i don't miss you cos you're gone well i do but i miss you more because things between us aren't the way they're supposed to be. I don't like it how now we can't even get through one single conversation without starting an argument. I miss all the days when you used to look at me with love and now all you look at me with is hatred. And Ally trust me it hurts. A lot. Ally you still make my heat race every single time you look at me. So um can...can i have one last dance with you," Austin asked, a hopeful expression on his face.
He took a step forward, he brought his thumb forward and gently wiped away all my tears.
"I'd like that," I answered back after a moment of silence. He held his hand out. I took hold of it. It fit perfectly together. Like pieces of a puzzle. He put his arm around me and i laid my head on his chest. And from then we danced on for hours and hours and hours until it was time for Austin to drop me back home.
We were in the car, a silence surrounding us. Not an awkward one, more like a peaceful silence. Austin took his hand and placed it in mine. He squeezed my hand. I squeezed his. Austin smiled at me while we were at a red traffic light signal. And then all to soon we were parked outside my house.
He got out and opened my door, like a gentlemen. He held his hand out. I just giggled and held it. Austin walked me up to my front door before he turned to face me. He bent his head down so our lips were touching. It was soft and sweet and amazing! I wanted the future pass and not let go. But obviously i had to. I looked up at Austin with a worried expression. "Ally are you okay? What happened? Did i do something wrong?" He bombarded me with questions in a frantic tone.
"Austin everything is absolutely fine. But i think we should just stay friends," i whispered the last part.
"Oh"
"Just for now!" I added on quickly.
"Okay, thats...thats fine," Austin said slowly, almost like he was trying to process what i had just said. He looked hurt, broken for a second before a smile had graced his face once again. But i could see right through it. It was fake. After all i had used it so many times in the past.
I stepped inside as Austin drove off into the darkness. I found Trish asleep on the couch. I rolled my eyes. Thats so like her. I smiled a big smile. I was extremely happy. Everything was going back on track, kinda. Austin and I were friends again! It warmed my heart! The perfect pair! People used to call us, even before we were together. I grinned thinking back to all the old memories.
But i still felt like something bad was going to happen, a feeling that was buried deep within my stomach.
Maybe if i was paying more attention i would've seen the look of anger i was getting from the pair of eyes outside. Maybe i would've realised as they opened the letter box, quickly dropping a note through. Maybe i would've realised Ari wasn't with Trish. Maybe i would've realised Ari, seen her walk towards the note. Maybe i would've realised that she bent down. That she picked it up. That she read it...
Okay i hope i have satisfied you guys with enough Auslly for this chapter:) lol.
