...I stare up at her appalled at what she just accused me of being, I glance up at Austin who is glaring at his mother and then over at Cassidy who is mirroring a similar expression, pushing back my chair and standing I apologize to Mr Moon and turn on my heel running down the hallway towards the front door. Tears spill down my cheeks as I hear Austin call after me but I keep running, I'm cold and I'm shaking, I see the door and throw it open running out and down the front steps. I'm gasping for air as I try to control my tears and my breathing, my eyes are shut tight and I can still feel the tears silently streaming down my face..."Allison Dawson?" my eyes snap open at the sound of that familiar voice, I look up and I am no longer in front of Austin's parents house but the parking lot of my apartment and there she stands, that girl she's wearing that same black sweatshirt, her hands stuffed in the front pocket, and those dingy dirty jeans. "W-who are you? What do you want?" I gasp out between shaky tears, she just stares at me in silence her head tilts to the side as though she is trying to figure me out, her eyes are dark black almost, then she smirks at me, I stare back at her and I can feel my whole body trembling, she pulls one of her hands out of the pocket and in it she holds gun, I gasp and try to take a step back but my body won't move. Pointing the gun at me, my heart is pounding my breathing is shallow and fast, "what do you have that I don't" she says in barely a whisper and then she pulls the trigger...

I let out a blood curdling scream, "jesus Ally! Ally! Baby! Wake Up!" my eyes snap open and I'm gasping for air, I look around frantically and realize that I am in my bedroom, in bed, it's still dark outside though my room is illuminated from the bright moon outside and Austin is next to me, hovering above and staring down at me with worried filled eyes. I swallow and continue to gasp for air while trying to slow down my breathing, Austin cups my face in his hands wiping away the tears that I didn't realize were actually spilling down my cheeks, "you were having a nightmare baby" he whispered leaning his forehead against mine, I gripped onto his forearms for dear life, closing my eyes at the touch of him. "It it was so real, everything that happened tonight at your parents and then..." I gasped, "shhh I know baby I'm so sorry, but it was a dream it was all just a bad dream" he whispered in my ear. I shook my head and sat up, my shirt I was sleeping in stuck to my body damp with sweat, I gripped the back of my neck, "no no, the girl, sh-she was here again b-but with a gun, wh-what..." my words trailed off, I was so confused, scared, and exhausted.

"What girl.. who had a gun? Ally what are you talking about?" Austin asked rubbing his hand up and down my back, I stopped, and turned to face him, "earlier today when I got home from dropping you off a girl approached me outside.." I began, Austin's hand stopped but he still watched me waiting for me to continue, "..she knew my name, she knew I was your girlfriend, well actually she first asked if I was your girlfriend but I think it was more to confirm it but she knew where I lived and she wouldn't tell me her name, I've never seen her before she just made me feel really uncomfortable a-and then now in my dream she had a gun and..." I inhaled deeply trying to catch my breathe. I glanced up at Austin who sat frozen on my bed, his eyes were dark and stone, "Au-Austin?" I asked leaning forward I placed my hand on his cheek, he blinked a couple times and softened into my touch, "when exactly did this happen Ally?" he asked sternly, "um um, like I said it was like right when I got back from dropping you off this afternoon so I dunno maybe a little after 2" I replied. Austin stood up from bed and began pacing my room, I stared at him confused "Austin what is it? Do you know who it was?" I asked, he ran his hands through his already messy bedhead from sleeping, "what else did she say?" he asked ignoring my question, I stood up, "Austin what is going on?!" I demanded, he stopped and spun around to me, "Tell me Ally! Did she say anything else?!" he yelled, I jumped at his tone and took a few cautious steps back away from him.

His face immediately softened when he saw my reaction, "baby I'm sorry, just please tell me did she say anything else?" he asked again but softer, I looked around the room trying to remember everything that happened, "she said something about how you were never the type to settle down or you said you were never the type to settle down with someone, it was something along those lines I can't remember exactly..I'm sorry" I said quietly. Austin closed the distance between us cupping my face in his hands, "don't be sorry baby..." he closed his eyes leaning his head against mine, "fuck!" he growled, I stared into his eyes, "Austin please tell me what is it? Who is she?" I asked, his eyes met mine and they were dark, filled with fear and anger. He let go of my face and walked to the other side of the room pulling at his hair, I sat down on the edge of my bed watching him..waiting, "her name is Becca, guess you can say she was my number one fan," he began, his voice quiet, a deep husky growl as he spoke he didn't look at me as he continued to speak. "The moment my career took off she'd be at every show, every meet and greet, about three years ago she showed up to an after party celebrating the end of one of my summer tours. It's actually how I really met her, I mean yea the meet and greets but I meet so many different people there it's sometimes hard to remember a face, she looked familar but that was it. We got to talking and that's how I came to learn that she had been a fan since the beginning, at the time I found it awesome, and well a total honor, not to mention I was younger, stupid and still new to the fame life, I thought she was hot so we started dancing, had a few drinks, she met the guys and Cass, everyone seemed to think she was pretty awesome."

He paused and looked over at me, I just stared at him I was afraid to blink and I hadn't realized I was holding my breathe, everything he was saying to me wasn't at all what I expected, Austin walked over and sat next to me on the bed staring straight ahead but I continued to watch him. "We ended up hooking up that night, I brought her back to my hotel room and yea things just carried on from there..." fuck not at all what I expected, he has a history with this girl, I gulped and looked away from him suddenly finding my hands in my lap very interesting, "go on" I said quietly not wanting to look him in the eye. Austin sighed, "the next morning I woke with a splitting headache and barely an inkling of a memory on what had happened the night before, but when I looked to my side and saw her laying there I realized I had screwed up big time, sleeping with a fan, a groupie, not the best move in the book. I ended up making the next big dick head move and quietly got dressed and left without waking her, I had no idea what to say to her except for that it was a mistake we both had to much to drink and it shouldn't of happened, but I couldn't do that to her to anyone so I just left," he said.

I nodded slowly, "so you have a one night stand with some girl and she decides to show up three years later on your girlfriends doorstep?" I asked, Austin let out another deep sigh, "that wasn't the end of her, a few days after that I started getting phone calls from her, how she got my number I still have no idea and to this day I'd still like to know the answer to that. Anyway she didn't even mention that night, but she started asking to hang out, go out to dinner, movies, like we were dating and this was just casual, I started off by turning her down gently and saying that I couldn't because I was to busy, then when that didn't work I told her I wasn't interested in her that way, friends was great but a relationship just wasn't in my future. She still wouldn't stop she began insisting that it was fate and to let it take its course, both Cassidy and myself asked her to stop contacting me, then I had to get her number blocked, she started showing up to my rehearsals and would wait outside near my car until everyone was gone." I was looking up at him now as he spoke, his voice shook as he rekindled what happened, "one night rehearsal had gone later than usual, when I reached my car she came out of no where, she was in tears, she started saying that she loved me and that what happened that night wasn't a mistake that we both wanted it and I was just scared to admit it. With everything she had been doing and saying for those past few months since that night at the party I had finally had it and I flipped out on her, I told her I was shit face drunk, she was a hot girl and an easy fuck that was it, I told her I didn't see anything romantic ever happening with us because I wasn't in any position or wanting to be in a relationship at that time or ever for what I knew" he said through gritted teeth.

I stared at him wide eyed, my mouth gaped open, "she didn't believe, she said I was lying, I told her I wasn't and that she needed to stay away from me and if the next time I saw her I'd call the police, I got in my truck and left the next day Cassidy and Johnathan insisted I get a restraining order on her for my protection and well for hers as well, the point needed to get across to her and be clear and they felt it was the only other option, so we did and I hadn't seen or heard from her since, granted I moved, Johnathan bought a bigger building and Millenium Studios moved, and I got a new number but until now I hadn't heard from her." My mouth was dry, I licked my lips and swallowed trying to compose myself, "so she was or still is infatuated with you" I stated, Austin snorted, "obsessed is what everyone calls it, for about a year no one would let me go anywhere by myself, it was annoying as hell because to me this was all because of some girl, but now she's coming after you and it's all making sense to me now on how everyone else felt" he said looking me in the eye. "But why is she coming after me Austin? And how the hell did she find out where I lived?" I asked, Austin wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me onto his lap, nuzzling my hair, "because your mine, that's why" he whispered against my neck. I pulled away slightly to look at him, "what do you mean?" I asked, Austin closed his eyes, "I told her back then that I didn't see myself as the type to ever be in a relationship with anyone...ever, and that stayed true..until I met you" he said opening his eyes at his last few words gazing deep into mine.

Her golden brown eyes stared back into mine, "I've never wanted someone as bad as I wanted you Ally, in every way possible that I could get you, I wanted you to be mine, to touch, to care for, to protect. There is just something about you Ally that draws me to you, your so addictive and intoxicating, beautiful, sexy, amazing, your just everything, your my everything and the thought of you being with anyone else just drives me crazy" I said. Ally just stared at me wide eyed, she lifted her hand to my face her fingers traced down my cheek to my lips, and slowly across my bottom lip, "your mine too you know" she whispered, I groaned and pulled her lips to mine falling back on the bed.

...The next morning...

"Austin?" Ally looked over at me from the passenger seat of my truck, "hmmm" I replied keeping my eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel while the other held tightly to Ally's, "I don't want you to hate your mom for what happened last night" she said, my body tensed up and I released her hand placing it on the steering wheel, "Ally stop.." I warned, she turned in her seat to face me, "I'm serious Austin, yes what happened last night was wrong and hurtful but she's your mom she loves you and she thought she was doing what was right for you" she said. I tightened my grip on the wheel, grinding my jaw, "Ally.." I spoke in quiet tone, "what my mother did last night was unforgiveable she's been known to act like a snobby bitch at times, but to treat my girlfriend, hell to treat you of all people like that is not okay. It was like she already had her mind made up of you before you even said hello, I'm not going to put up with that shit!" I said my voice getting louder, "but.." "NO! End of discussion, if she wants to make things right then she's going to have to apologize to not me but to you and until she does I'm done with her!" I yelled, Ally jumped slightly in her seat, she faced forward wrapping her arms around herself she gazed out her window silently.

"Hey" I said quietly, reaching over to grab her hand, she looked at me as we pulled up to a stop light, "you mean so much to me Alls, I will never let anyone hurt you, or put you down, no one and that includes my family. This is a huge step for me, for us, and although its different and new for me I won't let anyone come between us...okay?" I said, she gave me a small smile and nodded giving my hand a small squeeze before returning her attention back out the window. I continued watching her until the light turned green and I turned back to the road and continued towards the studio, everything was running through my mind, within 48 hours I had gotten Ally back, introduced her to my parents to only have the night go up in smoke thanks to my mom, and now Becca is back. How did she find Ally? Shit she seriously tracked her down to her home, I don't think she ever even knew where I lived, between her and Collin the thought of leaving Ally alone and unprotected made my skin crawl, we'd have to talk about it tonight but I will not let either of them near her again.

Okay I'm not the proudest when it comes to the end of this chapter, I was very content and happy with the explanation of Becca, but the ending I kind of through together, it wasn't exactly flowing for me so this was somewhat of a filler chapter when it comes to the end but also an important one because we know who the mystery girl is, we know her history with Austin, annnndd Austin now knows that she sought out Ally so still good info.

Shall we bring Collin back in the picture...uh I think so don't think I forgot about his little camp out from a couple nights ago :D

Hope your ready ;)
