Its a few days before I go home, and I've hung out with Austin a totally of like two hours lately, and it's really starting to get to me. I looked forward to this time back here, so I could spend all my time with him. I thought we were closer than this, I thought he cared about me more than this. But now I'm starting to wonder.
This morning I wake up to my cell phone ringing. I jump out of bed and snatch up my phone from the dresser, the caller I.D says Austin. "Hello?" I answer.
"Ally, I have something really special planned for us today, I'll be at the house at 1." He says.
"I don't know Austin. I don't feel like doing anything today." I say sadly. Of course I want to do something, but why should I be available to him when he wants me? He hasn't been available when I wanted him.
"Please Ally." He says in a cute whiney voice that he knows I can't say no to, I decide not to argue, "Fine." I say sternly.
"You won't regret it." He says, and with that, the conversation is over.
I set the phone back down and get dressed. I decide on a strapless yellow dress and a brown vest with matching brown boots. I brush my hair quickly, and grab my bag. I go downstairs and eat breakfast with Victoria and Auntie on the porch. We have fried eggs and bacon, and they are delicious. After a while I realize my parents aren't coming outside to join us, "Where's mom and dad?" I ask Victoria.
She shrugs and my Aunt responds, "They had a few errands today." She says.
"Like what?" I ask her.
"I have no idea." She says and puts a bowl of fresh strawberries on the table.
"Weird." I say.
Victoria nods in agreement, "What are you doing today?" She asks me.
"Austin's picking me up at 1, and he has something planned for us apparently." I say.
"It's about time that boy spends time with you." She says.
"I agree." I tell her.
I go upstairs and pace around my room, and wait for the time to come for him to pick me up. I realize how long it's been since I talked to Trish. She came to my grandma's funeral, and we haven't actually talked since then, I feel bad, so I decide to call her.
"Hey Ally." She answers.
"Hey Trish, I miss you." I tell her.
"I miss you too! How are you?" She asks me.
"I'm pretty good. How are you?" I ask.
"I'm good, but I'm on break at my new job, I'll call you later okay?" She says.
I tell her to have fun and then we hang up. I sit down on my bed and stare out the window. This place is so beautiful, and It sucks I'm leaving it tomorrow. Sure, I love my home, but this place almost feels like home too. I hear Austin's voice downstairs, interrupting my daydream and I run downstairs.
"Hey Ally." He says.
"Hi." I say.
"Are you ready to go?" He asks me.
I nod, "Sure."
We walk out together to his car and we start driving, "Where are we going?" I ask him.
He smiles, "It's a surprise."
"Ugh, I hate surprises." I moan.
"Well I hope you like this one." He says.
After about 5 minutes of driving, we pull up to a house I've never seen before. There is a moving truck outside the front of it, and Austin pulls in to the back, "What are we doing here?" I ask.
"You'll see." He says.
He gets out and walks over to my side and opens the door for me. We walk towards the back door and Austin stops me and grabs me by the waist, he kisses me on the list quickly and softly, "You ready?" He asks.
I nod, "Sure." I say.
He pushes me towards the door and suddenly his hands are covering my eyes, "What are you doing?" I ask him.
"Just trust me." He whispers into my ear.
I hear the door open, and he guides me inside a little ways and then he stops. He uncovers my eyes and my parents are standing in front of me with a huge smile, and behind them is my old living room furniture back home.
"Surprise!" They both yell.
What? I think to myself.
