Hey readers! Sorry this chapter is up so late, my boyfriend stole the tv and I had to piece together the episode on YOUTube to find some trivia for ya.
As promised I am putting up a new chapter early since I was a day late this week, but I would have had to post today anyway since 15 people got the last chapter's question right: In Beach Clubs & BFFs, what does Austin's history teacher, Mrs. Daniels, say to him in class ALOT?
"Wake up Austin, you're snoring again." Might be why he can't read a map huh? LOL.
So awesome job readers, and now onto the chapter! YAY!
So sit back, relax, and enjoy...
COLLEGES & CHOICES
"And cut! That's a wrap!" Dez shouted from the camera.
"Dez this music video is gonna be awesome!" Austin said walking to him.
"Thanks buddy, hey any news from Juilliard?" Dez asked.
"No, or Los Angeles Music University, but all the letters, good or bad, should be in some time this week." Austin said.
"How's Ally and Neveah?" Dez asked.
Dez had been so busy with Starr Records he hadn't been home in almost a week
"Good, tired of being pregnant and Ally's stomach is a soccer field for my chica though." Austin said smiling.
"Awesome. Well, let me get these to the studio and I should be home tonight." Dez said.
"Ok, I gotta get home." Austin said before they did their signature "What up!" and Austin went back to his car.
As he got in the car he got a text.
'Hope the shoot went good, over at your parents. Said they have a gift for Neveah but won't say till you get here.'
Austin texted her back.
'Went great, leaving the shoot now, will be there soon, love my girls.'
He then tossed his phone in the passenger seat and buckled up before starting the car.
While driving to his folks he heard his phone alert for a text, but he didn't pick up his phone, knowing his life was more important than a text.
A few minutes later he pulled in his parent's driveway.
He cut the ignition, grabbed his phone and walked in.
As he walked in he saw the reply was a 'Love you too' from Ally.
He walked in to hear laughter in the living room.
He walked further in and caught Ally's eye.
"Hey everyone." he said sitting down next to her.
Austin regaled them with the story of his video shoot while Mimi got him a glass of water.
"Austin, we have a gift for Neveah." Mike said, pulling out a pink teddy bear.
"It's beautiful. Thank you." Ally said taking it.
But Austin saw the tears in Mimi's eyes.
"Mom? What's wrong?" Austin asked.
Mike answered for her though.
"Austin, there's a reason your middle name is Monica." he said.
Austin looked at them confused until Mike pulled a picture frame up from next to him.
Austin stared at the baby, dressed in a beautiful pink dress, small enough to fit in his two hands.
And the pink teddy bear laying next to her.
"She's so small, who is she?" Ally asked.
"My baby sister." Austin said tearing up.
Everyone looked at him, confused.
"You remember?" Mike asked.
"Just her funeral. I remember the tiny casket, Grandma and Grandpa being here though they live in California, and mom crying a lot." Austin said.
"Her name was Monica. She was born when you were 2 almost 3. She was 5 weeks early. She was with us for a week before her lungs collapsed. After the funeral you came to me and asked me if you could be called Monica. When I asked you why you said 'So mommy won't be so sad.' Shortly after that we changed your middle name. It was originally Nathaniel, after your grandpa." Mike finished.
Ally kissed his cheek, moist with tears.
"I swear, Neveah will know about her." Austin told his mom.
Mimi smiled and stood up to hug him.
They stood there, hugging for a few minutes.
Mimi whispered something in his ear, making Austin hug her tighter.
After a few moments they pulled apart.
Mimi chuckled as she wiped tears from Austin's eyes.
"Eighteen years old, and I'm still wiping your tears." she said smiling.
"What can I say, I'll always need my mom." he said smiling back.
Suddenly Dez came in.
"Guys! Oh, did I interrupt something?" he asked embarrassed.
"It's ok Dez, come on in." Austin told him.
"Ok, look guys!" he said holding up 2 huge stacks of letters and envelopes.
"The colleges!" Ally said excited.
They went into the kitchen to open all the information.
15 minutes later everything was opened.
They had both been accepted to their dream school.
Austin to Juilliard in New York City. Ally to LAMU, Los Angeles Music University.
They had been accepted to other colleges too, but none together.
"So none of the schools accepted both of us." Austin said shocked.
"You got wait-listed for LAMU." Ally said upbeat.
Suddenly Austin whipped out his phone and grabbed his wait-list information and walked back into the living room.
"Honey, what are you gonna do?" Mimi asked Ally.
"Well, I know Austin will not let me follow him if I won't be attending. He has said we both have to be accepted to the same school for us both to attend together. So I guess I'll go to LAMU, and hope they accept him." Ally said.
Austin walked back in, discouraged.
"They can't bump me up. I explained the situation. They told me Ally has until Thanksgiving to get there, they will mail the information and books you will need till you have Neveah and heal and get there, but don't have room for me." he said, sitting down, defeated.
Suddenly Dez ran out of the house.
Austin, Ally, Mike and Mimi all sat around looking at Ally's other acceptance letters, but none of them were to colleges close to Juilliard.
"Ally, I won't let you sacrifice your dreams to make me happy. This is gonna suck but...I want you to go to LAMU. I will go to Juilliard and fly out to you guys every chance I get." Austin said firmly.
Ally started tearing up as she nodded.
Austin pulled her in, holding her as her sobs racked their bodies.
Mike and Mimi silently walked out, leaving them alone.
Once Ally got back a hold of herself they decided it was time to go home.
Ally grabbed the pink teddy bear as Austin got all their college information.
After saying goodbye to his parents Ally followed Austin's car home in her own car.
They barely got in the door before Dez called from his room.
"Guys, come check this out!" he shouted.
Austin shrugged and they walked to his room.
Ally looked, confused, at their computers on Dez's bed.
"I found a way for you guys to keep in touch even thousands of miles away." Dez said happily.
He then explained how he had programmed both of their laptops to turn the other on at the touch of a button.
If Ally called Austin at 2 AM and needed help she could just push a button and his webcam would turn on for him to see her and they could see him.
"So if Ally needs help, you can help, sort of. I'm still fixing some details but-" Dez said before Ally hugged him.
"It's perfect, thanks Dez." Ally said smiling.
"Yeah thanks man, this will make things a little easier." Austin said smiling.
That night Austin came into the room after his shower to see Ally looking at their wedding book.
He sat and looked with her.
"Hard to believe this time last year, we had problems telling each other how we feel. And now we're married, with a baby on the way." Ally said smiling and closing the book when they reached the end.
"If you could go back, and change any of it, would you?" he asked.
Ally shook her head.
"Without the program, we wouldn't have confessed our feelings. Without our first time, we wouldn't be having Neveah. And without Neveah, we wouldn't be married now. It would have all been later I'm sure, but I'm glad it happened now. It's just not fair." Ally said sadly.
Austin looked at her, confused.
"Just when we're starting a family, we're torn apart." Ally said tearing up.
Austin just hugged her, and held her as she cried.
When she was able to stop Austin had her look at him.
"It may not be that long. I can put in a transfer request when I get there and if someone drops out, or something comes up, I will be there." Austin said trying to help.
When he had called earlier today he found out he was high on their wait list, so this was a good possibility.
Ally smiled lightly and nodded.
Austin kissed her gently.
"Let's not worry about it tonight, let's just sleep." Austin said.
Ally nodded and got under the covers as Austin got the lights.
"What did your mom say to you earlier today?" Ally asked as they got settled in bed.
"That I would have been an amazing big brother, and I'm gonna be a great dad." he said.
"You know she's right?" Ally said smiling at him.
Austin smiled and kissed her.
He sang "I Think About You" to Neveah then cuddled his girls, silently praying he would never have to let them go.
