Austin's eyes fluttered open. His eyes roamed over the room before landing on the peaceful girl resting beside him. He ran his forefinger down the small crescents of her shoulders, loving the feel of it.
He adjusts his position to cuddle her closely, thinking back to last night.
"You have fun today?" He whispered by her ear as they opened the door.
Ally turned to face him, lifting up her chin slightly, "Maybe it's cause I was with you?"
"So is that a yes?" He raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, Austin." She laughed at his simplicity.
"I know another way we can have fun."
"Will it be with you?"
"Naturally."
He scooped her off the ground, causing her sandals to go flying. She let out a small yelp of laughter as he zoomed around the house with her, making sure to even take her into the basement, before running up the stairs.
"You're so insane."
"Love you more." He kissed her softly, but then had the kiss take on a rougher angle, his hands reaching under her shirt.
She smiled into the kiss and the two moved towards the bedroom, closing the door quickly behind them.
"Ally?" Austin turned over to his girlfriend. He leaned over to kiss her perfect little nose, waking her up.
"Yeahh?" She yawned, getting up slowly. The breeze fell against her bare skin and she shuddered pulling the covers around her.
"Morning!" He grinned, baring his shiny teeth.
Ally laughed. "Morning." She returned her head back to the pillow and shut her eyes again, wanting to return to her sleep, and sweet dreams and zzzzzzz. . .
"Ally!"
"Ahhhh. . ." Her eyes opened once more to the persistent blonde who was already pulling off the covers and heading to the bathroom.
"Wake upp. .." He called out as he made his way down the hallway.
Ally smiled as she watched his shadow move away, missing how he wasn't by her side.

"Austin! We need a theme for Trish's wedding."
Ally was sitting slanted on the coach. Her feet up on the small coffee table beside her and her laptop rested in her lap. She softly tapped the keyboard as she went over everything.
"How do we not have a theme? The first thing you're supposed to pick is a theme!" He picked up the spatula and scooped it under the pancake, letting out a small scream of success and a fist to the air when it flipped over nicely. It landed with a sizzle on the frying pan.
Ally got out of her position and reached for a rubber band, pulling her hair into the ponytail. She applauded Austin as he flipped over the pancake yet again, beaming as it fell to the pan.
"I don't know." Ally picked up her laptop and scrolled through her notes.
"So venue is at the beach. Cake is ordered, dresses and tuxes are set." Ally got up off the coach and began to walk around the kitchen, swerving in and out through the living room as she talked.
"So we're done basically." Austin's cheery voice broke into her thoughts.
He poured more pancake mix into the pan, but not before a quick flick of his finger stole some of the gooey deliciousness.
"No. We're not done." Ally sarcastically spoke in his nonchalant tone, reaching for the bowl of batter as well. She picked up the fork and began to lick it, leaning against the counter.
"We still have food, decorations, music, guest list and events and. . ." Ally ticked each one off her finger, waving the fork around in the process.
"Ally you worry too much." He snatched the fork out of her hand with a teasing smile.
"And you worry too little." She hopped on top of the counter by the stove, lightly swinging her legs as she thought.
"No, I worry the right amount." He caught one of her legs.
Ally let out a huff of protest and Austin could see she was ready to go on a long rant about worries and life and world peace and . . .
It was Ally after all. He swears she could kill someone with her rants.
"Music," He kissed her. "Is right here! Live performance, what more could you want?"
"But-" Ally began, but was cut her off with another kiss as Austin started his next point.
"Guest list, you're amazing boyfriend has already covered and has sent out the invites for it."
Ally's mouth dropped open in surprise.
"Huh?"
"I did the invites." He repeated. "Close your mouth, or else I won't be able to keep myself from kissing it." He winked at her.
"But when?!" Ally ignored Austin's adorableness, still not understanding.
"Plane ride."
"I was with you the entire time. We just played video games and well um broke up with boyfriends." She added the last statement with a quick rush.
Austin raised his eyebrows and thought to the night on the plane.
"Austin, how come Ally isn't moving?" Ross poked her cheek tentatively. Ally had fallen asleep during the game, her lips pursed and her head on Austin's shoulder as she slept.
"Ally's sleeeppingg." He whispered to the mini version of himself.
"Ohh. Can you wake her up?" He asked. "I wanna play some more." Ross climbed up onto Austin's lap.
"I don't know about that" The little boy began getting comfortable in his lap.
"But me and you can play a game. See there is spiderman and sonic and whoa this place has batman?" Austin stared at the game in shock.
"Hey buddy wanna play bat-" He froze when he heard a soft snore come from the little blonde bundle in his lap.
"Ross?" He peered down at the boy and laughed to himself at the irony of it all.
Shaking his head, he took out his phone and glanced over at Ally, not believing the day's events or well in particular "her" day events. He knew how strong she must have been to turn down Dallas. It didn't matter that she didn't love him; it still hurts when another guy breaks your heart like this.
I would never do that to her. I'll always be there, like a good friend would.
He scrolled through his phone and slowly began to type up a guest list and sending it to a card company to have invitations sent out by the following day.
The sun went down and came up and Ross would wake up suddenly and bug him for water and ice cream or Ally would shift her positions, causing him to suddenly drop his phone.
But it didn't matter.
He stayed up all night on that plane ride.
Because I will always be there for her, like a good friend would.
"I did it at night." He casually responded, letting go of her leg as the memories flooded his brain. He shrugged his shoulders turning back to his pancaking duties.
Ally watched him, thoughtfully.
Austin is the sweetest guy I have by far ever met. She stated it as a fact.
"Well then." Ally hopped off the countertop and planted a kiss on his cheek. Austin shyly smiled as her lips came in contact with his skin.
"But I'm still worried." She rebuttled once again causing Austin to turn around with a huff.
"Ally everything is fineee. We have two weeks till the wedding. That's plenty of time to find food and decorations and find Ms. Ally Dawson's theme."
"And events." Ally tugged a piece of hair out of her ponytail, slowly starting to chew on it.
Austin smiled at her old habit that she still had from when he first met her. He still remembers those days in the practice room at Sonic Boom, where she would be rushing to finish up a song, slipping a piece of hair in her mouth as the cute "cell phone accessory cart boy" would pass by.
Holy unlimited texting, thank god he's gone. Austin scooped up more batter with his finger and licked it off.
"And events." Austin smiled down at her. He reached over to pull her in for a hug. Her arms wrapped around his waist, preparing to fill his warmth when. . .
"I can get your heart beat beat beat beating like,
I can get your heart beat beating like that.
You know you got my heart beat beat beat beating like,
Whooaa ohh whoa ohh."
Austin let out a silent groan of losing his woman and she raced over to the living room to find her phone.
He listened to her feet pat over on the wooden floor and then her voice sweeten to a goodie two shoes as she spoke.
He laughed quietly as he flipped over yet another pancake.
Heh. TOWER OF PANCAKESS! His toddler like thoughts came up with its own plan to entertain himself while Ally was busy.
He stacked another pancake on top, making sure it was aligned with the bottom one when he noticed that Ally didn't seem to be talking.
Turning off the stove and he edged towards the living room, not really wanting to interrupt.
Especially if it was feminine stuff. Oh gosh no, would never want to walk down that path of question.
But the absolute silence worried him.
He walked into the living room and saw Ally standing there frozen. The phone was dropped on the floor and she seemed almost paralyzed.
"Ally?!" He rushed over to her, shaking her gently. She looked up and walked over to the couch, pulling her legs up towards her stomach and grabbing a nice chunk of hair to bite on.
Austin tilted his head in question before picking up the phone from the ground.
"Hello?" He spoke.
"Ally?" A voice he recognized from not long ago answered.
"Nah, Ally's um busy. It's Austin. How are you David?" He pulled out his false charm that he always used for people he didn't like.
"Oh, hey! I'm good, you?" Austin could tell he was pulling his politeness card out now too.
"Um, fine. Sooo, what were you telling Ally?" He glanced over at his girlfriend.
She had given up on the hair and just turned to burying her head in her knees instead.
"Um well I was just double checking with her that the wedding venue she ordered is set for Wednesday. You know we like to check two days or so in advance to make sure that you guys are still up for-"
"Wait, wait. Wednesday?" Austin asked and Ally let out a small yelp burying her head deeper into her knees.
"Yeah. It's what you guys asked for."
"No no no no, we asked for next next week Wednesday. Two weeks from now, not three days from now." Austin's voice picked up volume.
"Well I'm sorry, but it's either Wednesday or next Wednesday of the next three months." David practically sneered at him through the phone.
"David, I mean you can't honestly be that busy that. . ."
"Well you're busy with Ally, so. . ."
Austin froze and all the tiles seemed to be falling into place.
They hadn't messed up, David changed it on his own.
He knew about them. He knew what Austin had done. He knew about the night when Austin had faked his illness and texted David, pushing him away. The guy knew everything.
"Ally always capitalizes when she texts Austin and guess what. You didn't." He spoke clearly through the phone, emphasizing each word.
Austin couldn't speak, not believing that this was actually happening. That that one text that he had sent David could possibly be ruining everything he had now.
"Wednesday is fine." Austin spoke through gritted teeth.
If only that little bastard was here right now, I'd-
"Great. See you guys then. And don't worry. This time Austin, I'll show Ally what she's really missing out on."
Austin shook his head, ending the call without another word. He shoved Ally's phone into his pocket, running his hands through his hair, mussing it up.
He closed his eyes trying to rid of this nightmare that was taking over. But when he opened it, nothing was gone. Color had just replaced black, improving nothing of the given situation.
He glanced over at Ally, who had turned to the throw pillow next to her, snuggling up with it.
"So we may have some worries."
