Hey, guys! Sorry for the long wait... On the bright side, I'm here with a new chapter of 1, 991 words (excluding the A/Ns)! I hope this chapter makes up for the wait.

Oh! And if you didn't already, please go read my newest one-shot! It's called Fortunately Unfortunate.

Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally, or anything else you may recognize in this story.

Enjoy! :)

Austin's P.O.V.

"YOU WHAT?!" Max shouts.

I wince at his tone. "I broke my hand." I repeat, although this time, it sounds more like a question.

"Why?"

"I was angry and punched a park bench." I reply. The more I say it, the dumber it sounds.

"Austin, you know that some people at your school could actually realize you're Austin Moon, right?"

"How?"

"Let's put it this way: You, as Dustin, broke your hand. You, as Austin Moon, broke your hand. Both of you have broken your left hand at the same time. Suspicious, don't you think?"

I blink. "Huh. Hadn't thought about that."

"Plus, you guys had a fight, probably calling each other by their real name, in a park. A place where a lot of people could've witnessed your fight." (Shoutout to Lilyfanficlover for noticing this)

I mentally slap my forehead. This is just great (note the sarcasm). Hopefully there weren't any paparrazzis around, that day.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Well, if anyone questions you about having an alter-ego, deny it. That's pretty much all we can do."

I nod. "Got it. Can I go, now?"

"Yes, but remember, be careful. We can't risk more people knowing about your alter-ego."

"Yeah, yeah... I know, I know." I roll my eyes. "I'll see you later, Max."

"Later."

We shake hands and I walk out of Max's office. As I'm walking to the nearest bus stop, a man stops me. I begin to think his daughter must be a fan, until he speaks up.

"Excuse me, can I borrow your phone? Mine's dead, and I don't have any change to call my family. I live about an hour away, so-" I cut him off.

"No need to explain. Here." I hand the man my phone, which he gratefully takes.

"Thank you. I won't take long." Five minutes later, the man hands me back his phone. "Thanks again."

"No problem." I smile and continue my way to the bus stop. I make it just in time and get on the bus, sitting next to a girl... way too familiar. "Ally?" I ask.

"Austin? What are you doing here?" Ally questions.

"Just got back from a meeting with Max. What about you?"

"Just needed to get out of the house. I have a concert tonight, so I thought I could use a few hours on my own before getting surrounded by fans."

"Makes sense. But why are you dressed as Ally if you want to avoid fans?"

She shrugs. "It's not like when I'm on tour or doing a concert. Around here, people are used to have me around."

I nod. "Same here. Well, I do get surrounded by fangirls from time to time, for other than that, people seem used to me too."

Suddenly, she gasps. "What happened?!"

"What?" I ask, confused.

"What happened to your hand?!"

"Oh, that?" I ask, lifting my bandaged hand. "I punched a park bench. Broke my hand."

"Why did you do that?"

"It was just after a fight. I was angry at myself for... well, causing the fight, and I punched the bench out of anger." I explain sheepishly.

"You are a... complete idiot." She says slowly, chuckling a bit at the end.

"I know." I say, a small smile making its way to my lips, before I frown, looking at her. "Are you... Are you still mad at me?"

She shrugs. "A bit. But I thought about it, and I understand why you did what you did. So... I guess not. Plus, I love you too much to let you go." She tells me, slipping her hand in mine.

I smile. "So... we're good?"

She nods. "Yeah. We're good." She confirms, leaning her head on my shoulder with a sigh. "I missed you."

It's been five days, and I can tell I never want to fight with Ally again. Going five days without her is way too much. I know it's not good to get too attached, especially with both of our careers, but I can't help it. She means too much to me.

"I missed you too." I tell her and begin to think. What if one of us goes on a world tour or something and the other needs to stay? What are we going to do? Maybe I should be more careful... Spend less time with Ally.

... No. She's my girlfriend, and I love her. If we ever have to be appart for a while, then we'll find a way to communicate. Text, call, videochat... We could do it.

"What are you thinking about?" Ally tilts her head up so that she can look at me.

"Nothing." I lie.

She sits up right, letting me know that she's serious. "No, something's bothering you. You know you can tell me anything, right?" I nod. "Well, then tell me."

"It's nothing, really."

"Austin." She gives me a look that tells me she isn't buying it.

I sigh. "I was just thinking about us."

"Us? Do you want to break up with me, or something?"

"No! No, no, no! Not at all!"

Relief flashes through her eyes. "What is it, then?"

"It's just that... You know, it's only been five days, and we were already missing each other like crazy. With both of our careers, we'll be appart often, especially when school will be over. What are we going to do? We'll miss each other way too much, don't you think?"

She looks down at her lap. "I hadn't thought about that." She looks up at me. "There's always videochat, right? A-and texts, and calls... It wouldn't be the best, but... it could work... Right?"

I nod. "Yeah. It could work."

The bus stops.

"That's my stop. I think I'll walk for a bit. Wanna join?" She asks me, getting up.

"Sure." I smile and follow her out of the bus. Just as my foot hits the ground, my phone beeps. I walk a bit further, away from the street, and open it.

"What is it?" Ally asks, looking at my phone.

"An alert of Cheatah Beat." I tell her before my eye land on the title. "Uh oh."

"What? What's wrong?" She asks worriedly.

I show her my phone.

Ally's P.O.V.

I take Austin's phone and start reading the article.

Auslly's secrectly dating?

Not more than half an hour ago, one of our reporters spotted Austin Moon walking on the street. Asking him to borrow his phone, the popstar's background picture surprised him. Our reporter took a picture of it, and here it is:

There's a picture of Austin and I sleeping after the dance. His arms are wrapped around me, giving people no doubt that we're dating. (Shoutout to Daddysgirl11 for the idea)

What do you think? Is Auslly finally here? We think it is. Post your thoughts below.

"Well, Jimmy will be happy." I state.

"But are we?" Austin questions.

I shrug. "I guess it was destined to happen at some point, anyway."

"I never thought that dude was a reporter." He says. "And it was not even half an hour ago! How did they post that so fast?"

"Well, the Cheatah Beat office is only a few blocks away. Plus, they didn't write a lot. I wouldn't be so surprised, if I was you."

He nods. "Good point."

My phone vibrates and I take it out. I notice it's a text from Trish.

3:07PM: Ally, I'm freaking out! I need your help!

I frown and quickly text her back.

3:08PM: What's wrong?

3:10PM: I'm going out with Dez for our friendship anniversary! I have no idea what to wear!

3:11PM: What do you usually wear?

3:11PM: Depends on where were going.

3:12PM: Where are you going?

3:14PM: He wouldn't tell me. But he said to dress casual.

3:15PM: Then dress casual. It's not that complicated.

3:16PM: Ally?

3:16PM: Yes?

3:17PM: THAT'S NOT HELPING!

3:17PM: Gee, calm down! When's your date?

3:18PM: It's not a date.

3:19PM: Okay, when's your not-a-date, then?

3:19PM: He's picking me up at four.

3:20PM: You should just wear a pair of jeans or black leggings with flats and a nice shirt. You could fit probably anywhere with that look.

3:21PM: That's genius! Thank, Ally! You're awesome!

3:22PM: No problem :) But you better give me all the details when you come back.

3:23PM: Yeah, yeah... Well, I gotta go. See ya!

3:24PM: Bye :)

"Who was that?" Austin asks me once I put my phone back into my pocket.

"Trish. It's her and Dez's friendship anniversary, and she's freaking out." I explain.

"Oh, yeah... Dez told me about that. Don't tell Trish, but he said he might confess his feelings to her today."

I grin. "Really?" He nods. "That's awesome!"

"Yeah. I hope they get together, 'cause it's getting annoying. It's just so obvious that they like each other!"

"I know. Let's just hope for the best. If they don't get together today, then we'll just have to step in." I shrug innocently.

"You have a plan in mind, don't you?" He asks me, a knowing look on his face.

"We'll just tell them to tell each other their feelings, but when they're together, so that they won't get the chance to get away."

"You, Miss Dawson, are evil." He says, poking my sides, causing me to giggle, before he wraps his arm around my shoulders. "Didn't know you had it in you."

"Well, I can be pretty surprising." I joke, smiling up at him.

He nods, a smirk forming on his lips. "No doubt about that." He says before sweetly pecking my lips. He keeps his eyes locked on mine as he pulls away. "I love you. You know that, right?"

I nod. "That, I do."

"Good. Don't you ever forget that. And don't forget that no matter what we go through, my love for you is one thing that'll never change. Okay? Will you remember that for me?" He asks, not breaking eye contact once.

I nod. "Yes, of course. But... why are you insisting so much? You know that I love you too, right?"

"Yeah, of course... No reason. Just wanted to make sure that you remember."

Suddenly, realization dawns on me and I stop walking, making Austin stop too. "You're scared."

"What?"

"You're scared of losing me, aren't you? You want me to know that you love me so that you're sure that you won't lose me. When you were thinking about us missing each other a lot, you were scared. Scared to lose me while we were appart. Scared of us breaking up. Is that what this is about? You're scared?"

When he looks down at his shoes, I know I'm right. "Would it be a bad thing for me to say yes?"

I take his un-injured hand. "No. But Austin, you need to trust us in this. Not just me, not just you, both of us. Our love. It's what keeps us together, alright? And as long as we have that, we'll always be together. Yes, we'll probably fight and have our disagreements, but at thy end of the day, I love you and you love me. Nothing can change that. Okay?"

He nods. "Thanks, Ally."

"No problem. And if something ever bothers you, if something's wrong, if something worries you, or whatever else, you can always come to me. I'm always here for you."

"I know. And it goes the same for you. I'm always here for you. Even if I'm at the other end of the world."

"I know." I step forward and hug him tightly. "I love you."

"I love you too."

I let go a bit, so that I can look at him. "Just to make sure... You're not going at the other end of the world anytime soon, are you?"

He chuckles. "No. Are you?"

"Nope." I shake my head and hug him again. And right now, I don't care how many paparrazzis are watching, or if we're standing on a sidewalk, all I care about is that I'm with Austin. That's all that really matters.

"Good. 'Cause you're staying right here, with me."

BAM! Done!

Sorry, I'm not good writing drama. Especially when it comes to Auslly. I just had to make them make-up... I don't think anyone will be mad about that, though ;P

Random Thingy-That-I-Heard-Once-That-I-Don't-Know-What-to-Call: I have this disease where I'm completely aware that I'm annoying, but I have absolutely no way to stop myself.

When I read that, I was like "This is so me!"

Anyway, please review! I love every single review.

Until next time,

R5AAFan :)
