It has been almost a week and Alex is getting better with the chair.
Austin is laughing at Aubrey as she tries to play with Aiden and he does throw the ball back. "Aubrey, he's not old enough baby." She turns and looks at me and sits down before grabbing her dolls and playing with them. I look at Austin, "Really?" He takes a drink of his soda and shrugs, "It was funny." I shake my head and turn to head upstairs. As I turn I run into Alex in his wheelchair. I put my hands on the armrest, "I am so sorry." He smiles, "It's okay." I move and he goes around and then stops to stare at me, "Are you going out?" I nod and he looks down, "Would you care to get me some movie?" I shake my head and he smiles, "Thank you." He wheels off with a huge smile.
I walk upstairs and get in the shower. After I was done I wrap myself in a towel and brush my hair. I walk to my closet and pick out a pair of jeans and a plain blue t-shirt. After getting dressed I pull my hair into a messy bun and grab my phone. I brush my teeth and slip on a pair of flip flops. I walk down the steps and walk into the living room. "Okay, I'm leaving." Austin stands up and pecks my lips before sitting back down. Aubrey comes over and hugs me and I bend down so she can kiss me. I walk over and kiss Aiden. Alex wheels up to me. "Here." He hands me a twenty dollar bill. I look at him confused, "Incase you find an awesome movie I may like, or food you know I like or something." I laugh and turn heading towards the door. "Bye." I walk out and get in my car.
About two hours later I come home with some diapers, outfits for the kids, Alex some movies, and other necessities we needed. I have my arms full and close the trunk. Walking quickly so I don't lose my momentum I reach the door and push it open. I place the bags on the ground by the door and close it. Grabbing the movies I got Alex I walk around the corner to the living room. Alex is in his chair with his arms crossed and looking at the tv to intently. Austin is sitting on the couch away from him with a smug look on his face. Aubrey is sleeping on her blanket in the floor and I look over and see Aiden asleep too. Sighing I walk farther in and place the movies on the table.
I walk around and stand in front of the television and look at both men. Alex is now staring at my middle since it is in front of the television now. Austin wont look at me. I sigh and pop my hip out. "What happened?" They both say nothing. I turn and look at Austin, "What happened when I was gone?" He still says nothing. Sighing I look at Alex, "Last time I am asking, what happened?" He looks over at Austin and I see his jaw move with clenched teeth, "Ask him." I turn to Austin, "What did you do?" He looks at me for the first time, "What I should of done in the first place." I sigh and look at him, "Explain." He crosses his arms, "I told him what I have wanted to tell him. He didn't take it well."
Flashback (Austin's Pov)…
I watch Ally close the door and decide to try and play nice. Alex comes over to the couch and looks at me, "Can you move the table out some, so I can get on the couch too?" I look at him, "Why should I?" Alex looks taken back. "I didn't mean… I'm sorry, its fine." He wheels to the side of the couch and gets comfy in the chair. I watch him turn his attention to the television. Mr. nice guy, Mr. Perfect, even injured and in pain he is nice and doesn't want any problems. Who the fuck acts like this? Alex was always this way. I don't like him going back to this way.
"Your not wanted here." He turns and looks at me and takes a breath, "I know." I look at him shocked. "Then why the hell are you here." He sinks in his chair some, "I had nowhere else to go." I shake my head, "Why do we have to keep putting up with you, because you have no one?" He sighs and turns to me, "Austin, I get it. You don't want me here. You don't like what I did to Ally and I don't like it either. I know she is mad at me and I am sorry. I am so sorry, I wish I could take it back. I know Ally don't want me here. I appreciate her taking me in even though she is pissed at me."
I turn to him, "Why are you so nice all the fucking time?" He turns to me, "I always was." I move a little closer, "I hated it then and I hate it now. You are a fucking fake. No one is like this. You hurt Ally, the girl you claim to love and want but then months later you are back to your old self. It's a act, and Ally will catch on soon enough." I move away upset. "Austin, god damn it listen to me. I was not myself and you fucking know it. I was mad and had stuff going on, I didn't think. Then with everything it wasn't me. This is me, it's no act. No matter how much you fucking think it is, you just don't like me you never have." I stare at him, "Admit it. You never liked me." I stare at him, "No, I fucking hated you. I wanted to be friends hell I even thought of us as friends but it never fucking worked because you were hung up on the mother of my child and my fiancée." He opens his mouth to talk and turns crossing his arms, "Fuck you, you wouldn't be with her without me." I turn to the tv happy I got it all out.
Flashback Ends (Back to Ally's Pov..)
I stare in shock, "Austin that was uncalled for, you may not like him being here but he is suck it up and deal with it. Alex, you did not have to react the way you did. Yes you got us back together and you probably hate it but you did what you thought was right." I stare at them both, "I am tired of all of this. We need to talk and get everything out. We will never stay sane if we don't."
They both stare at me, "We can start by asking questions or letting it out? Whichever one you want." I stand there waiting for someone to say something. Alex finally uncrosses his arms and stares at me with those eyes that I know so well. "Do you hate me?" I stare at him and start shaking my head, "No, I was pissed and angry at you but I don't hate you. I can never hate you." He nods, "Will we ever be friends again?" I smile, "I'm sure we will be, eventually." He nods and Austin stares at me, "I hate the way you two have always been and will go back to being, I don't like it." I stare at him, "Austin you know how it was. He was always there. He was my best friend and always there. I needed that." Austin sinks down, "Why do you do that? Why do always back him up? I make mistakes and you are angry at me and make me bend over backwards for your forgiveness. Him, you just let it all go." I shake my head, "It's not like that. You know it. He will have to work to even back my trust and my friendship. You Austin have always made huge mistakes. All he did was hurt me, you have cheated on me and everything." Alex comes forward, "I am so sorry. I will work as hard as I can and do whatever it takes to get back to how we were. I will never give up. I promise Ally, I will never stop. I made you a promise long ago I would never leave you and you could always count on me, I screwed up on that but I swear I will never do it again. I will always be there for you and I will never leave again." I smile softly, "Thanks, We will see if you can do it." He smiles and sits back in his chair.
Austin is fuming, "I may leave a lot for work but this is stupid. I am happy he was always there to help you, but you don't fucking need him. I am the father of your kids. I am here and I can do it. He doesn't need to be there for you. You have me. Who wrote you songs? Me. Who was there to talk when you needed to? Me. Who is the father of your children? Me. Who drew you bathes and made sure you weren't stressed? Me. Who was there for you when Mr. perfect hurt you? Me. You have me and yet you still want him. Why?"
Sighing I walk a little closer to him, "Austin, you are my one, I love you. I am in love with you. You worry over Alex and that's not healthy. I understand it. I do. A part of you will always hold on to what me and him had even though it was brief. But Austin me and you have two beautiful children. We have been though ups and downs together and we have made it through them. We are getting married. Alex was my best friend and I miss him. I miss what we had. He always knew what I needed and when. He was a part of me and I miss that. He meant a lot to me and still does but I miss the old us. The old Alex. I am with you. You were my past, you are my present and my future. You are my Austin and you are my life." I walk towards Alex, "Do you understand? I was in love with you at one time but…" He nods, "Austin is your one and I'm not. We have been through it. I understand and I just want you happy."
I smile and stand in the middle in front of the television again. "Anything else?" I look at Alex content and thinking. Then he smiles that wonderful smile that makes girls melt and shakes his head. I look at Austin and see him a little calmer and thinking. I think it is all done and smile and clap my hands, "Good, now that this is taken care of, lets put it behind us and move on."
"Are we even going to get married?"
