WELCOME TO MYYY STORRYY,
THAT I NEVER UPDATE,
BECAUSE I AM BUSY,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME LAAZZYYYY!
Hi lovelies! Did you like my cover of My House? Haha I knew you would.
The next morning was a bright and beautiful day. The light shone in Andrew's eyes. He opened them and looked at his clock, that read 7:01. He groaned, reluctantly getting out of bed and closing the curtain, then plopping down in his bed, trying to find sleep but now it seemed impossible.
He sighed, sitting up and looking down at his journal that he must've kicked on the floor in his sleep. He quickly picked it up and opened to the page where he was writing last night. Hesitantly, he ripped out the page and crumbled it up, remembering his father's wise words from the previous night: you can't force someone to fall in love with someone else, and, that time was change. He knew it was best to listen to him. Maybe everything would work out.
He sat in bed in a few more moments before closing his book and putting it on the shelf. He then headed downstairs for something to eat.
It wasn't long until Alex came downstairs, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Good morning," he yawned, pulling out a chair and sitting next to Andrew, who was now eating Cheerios.
"Morning," Andrew said back. "Want some Cheerios?" he offered.
Alex scrunched up his nose in disgust. "Cheerios are so plain. Don't we have anything else?"
Andrew shrugged. "How would I know?"
"I want pancakes," Alex decided.
"Wait till Mommy and Daddy wake up," Andrew warned. "They-" his jaw dropped when he realized that Alex was already in the pantry, climbing up to reach the pancake mix.
"Why is it so far?" Alex grunted, using all of his strength to reach it.
"Alex! Don't…"
"Almost there!"
"Get down!" he whispered harshly, not wanting his brother to get in trouble for climbing the shelves or even worse hurt. "You're gonna hurt yourself!"
"Got it!" he smiled, holding it up with one hand while he balanced with the other.
"Good," Andrew said through his teeth. "Now get down."
"Okay, okay Drew-" he suddenly was taken aback when his hand slipped and he fell right on his arm with a horrible crack. Andrew's heart clenched and and it felt hard to breathe. "MOM!" he sobbed.
Andrew knew this was no time for the "I told you so" lecture so he quickly ran upstairs and called for his parents. He burst into their room. "Mom! Dad! Wake up!"
Ally was the first to sit up. "What is it love?" she asked, trying to calm him down.
"Alex! He's hurt!" He could barely get the words out.
That got Austin up. "Hurt?!" The worried parents ran out of the room, not waiting for Andrew who was about to leave when he saw that Ariel's door was opening.
"What's all the fuss about?" she asked, still not fully awake.
"Alex is hurt," he replied quickly. Her eyes widened. "I...I think he broke his arm," he continued. "C'mon." He took her hand and dragged her downstairs.
Turns out, Andrew was right. Alex did indeed break his arm. Ex rays don't lie. When he finally got his cast on, he wanted his doctor to be the first one to sign it. Even though he wouldn't admit it out loud, he had a little crush on his female nurse. "Will he be okay?" Ally asked the nurse warily.
"Oh, absolutely," she smiled at Alex. "We're going to have to give him a prescription of antibiotics just to be safe."
"Thank you Miss Hartford," Austin said before what seemed like hours they made their way out of the hospital.
"What exactly did you do to break your arm Alex?" Ally said as they drove home.
Alex chuckled nervously. "Heh, you know. I...uh.."
"He fell," Andrew cut in, trying to save his brother from getting in trouble for climbing the pantry. "On...On...something...hard?"
"Yeah!" Ariel said. "He...He lost his balance when he was trying to get some breakfast."
"Yeah, I don't know what came over me," Alex said nervously. Ally raised her eyebrow, still unconvinced.
"What a day!" Ally collapsed on the bed dramatically, then snuggled into the comforter, wishing she could snuggle into Austin but for some reason he was taking forever to get his pajamas on. "You coming or what?" she called.
"Right here," Austin smiled, emerging from the bathroom.
Ally frowned. "Since when do you not change in front of me? It's not like there's anything that I haven't seen before."
"I know, Alls, I just...I just feel insecure is all and-"
"Insecure?!" she asked in disbelief. "You're Austin Moon!" She knew that that wasn't true. Austin Moon was one of the most insecure people she has ever met. He hated himself, and the worst part is that Ally couldn't say anything to save him from himself. There was always going to be a part of himself that he just hated, and she knew that would never change. But out of all things, why would he be insecure about his body? His body was the most beautiful thing she's ever seen, even with clothes on. He had been changing in the bathroom for the past week now and Ally knew that there had to be more to it than insecuraty.
"So?" he said, almost bitterly, about to get into bed but Ally quickly got out and ripped his shirt off.
"See? Was that so hard I mean-" she cut herself off when she saw what was on his body. It was a tattoo. Cross that. Four tattoos that spelt out Ally, Andrew, Ariel, Alex. Ally wasn't sure what to say. "You...You got a tattoo?" she whispered.
Austin nodded slowly.
"W...Why?"
"Because I love you guys, and I thought...I don't know what I thought. One day, everything I have is going to be gone, and I want everything to be remembered. You guys are my whole world, and to picture a world without all of you in it...it'd be so empty. I don't know. It doesn't make me feel so lonely when I'm alone."
Ally smiled softly, wrapping her arms around his bare back and just hugging him tightly. "I love you Austin," she whispered in his ear. "I'm not going anywhere."
Austin smiled, burying his nose into her soft hair and breathing her in. He knew there was no need for those tattoo's. But something in his mind just couldn't stop him from doing it. Ally turned off the light and crawled into bed and he slowly fell behind. "How's your Dad?" he asked as they laid in the darkness. Ally had recently told him the news that Lester was sick, and they were going to see him today but the whole thing with Alex took up most of the day.
"I'm not sure," Ally answered truthfully. "I haven't heard anything from Patrick today."
"He's got a lot on his plate," Austin murmured.
"Remember when he was seven?"
"Those were the days. Now something has seemed to sucked the life out of him. I want to see the light in his eyes again, Ally, like he used to have. He's so much different."
"He's growing up sweets," Ally said calmly.
"I...I know. I just miss the days when he had no worries or troubles. I think the whole Hazel and Danny thing has taken a toll on him. He just needs a break from it all. Maybe he should go somewhere for spring break."
Ally's eyes opened when he brain hatched an idea. "That's it! We can all go to Disney World for spring break! All of us! You, me, the triplets, Trish, Dez, Piper, Jason, Gavin, Jeanette
"Slow your read honey," Austin said. "That's a big trip and little time to plan."
"Can we at least think about it?" Ally asked, clinging onto him. "Pleasy?" she gave him the puppy-dog-eyes.
Austin couldn't resist that. "Okay, Alls, we'll see," he smiled, kissing her forehead and connecting it with his.
