Austin & Ally: Fears and Fatalities

by butraura

Austin comes up with a great idea for a song - escaping fears. But when Austin and Ally are bombarded by situations challenging their fears, one after the other, they begin to lose hope in themselves. Will they ever escape their fears? *Note: All characters are those of 'Kevin and Heath Productions' and Disney.* *All lyrics are mine* *No copyright infringement intended* *Auslly*

26. Chapter 26

I'd like to thank all of my readers so far, who have been encouraging me endlessly to keep writing. I will aim for about 4 chapters posted this weekend, but as it is Easter, we'll see. I hope you will continue to enjoy my story as I enjoy writing. Have a good weekend! :)

"Oh no," I whisper.

"What," she whispered back.

"Your dad," I say. "When is he coming home?"

She freezes. "Uh," she starts. She looks to her watch. "His plane lands in about an hour. I hope everything is good on time..." She starts to chew her hair in that Ally way.

I take her hand and hold it.

We sit like that for a few minutes.

Then suddenly I hear stirring outside. Then a large crash that jolts Ally. I quickly and stealthily cover her mouth with my hand to stop her inevitable scream. She grabs my arm and holds it, trying so hard to calm down. There's still loud sounds and bangs coming from outside the door and at one point the knob is rattled like the robber was trying to escape his situation.

Ally hides her face and I hold her tight.

After about 15 minutes, all is calm. I debate whether we should leave or not but I can't bring myself to move no matter what I wanted. Ally is still hyperventilating in to my chest. I'm still stunned.

Then suddenly, in the most calming voice, we hear someone call, "Austin? Ally?" quietly. Ally hears, too, because she turns her head to the door. We stand up at once and creep towards the door.

The voice calls to us again and Ally realizes who it is. "Trish," she whispers.

I nod and start to slowly open the door. The lights are on, the police are there and Trish is looking around near the stairs. We see the robbers, still masked, cuffed by the door. A policeman notices us and hurries towards us.

We're immediately bombarded with questions.

ALLY'S POINT OF VIEW

The police, along with two more run towards us and offer us water and a place to sit. Austin is trying to assure them we're fine but I guess my face doesn't convince them because they still ask me.

I try to nod to them when they ask if I'm okay. That I'm just in shock that my store was burglarized. I mean only once before has that ever happened. But this time it was a team and it was worse.

"Who are the criminals," Austin asks the officer.

He said that he wanted to wait until the entire place was clear until he revealed them.

Trish runs towards me and hugs me. She was evidently worried.

So we wait. And wait. After what seems like forever we're cleared and we're brought to stand in front of the robbers.

They pull of the masks to reveal two guys.

AUSTIN'S POINT OF VIEW

Trent and Dex.

ALLY'S POINT OF VIEW

Trent and Dex?

Whoa. What?

"Trent," Trish yells. "You were the thief?"

"No," he replies. "I'm not technically a thief, we didn't steal anything."

"Yeah, because that would work in a court of law," I say, rolling my eyes.

"Trent," Austin says. "Why would you try to steal from Sonic Boom?"

"Didn't you," Trent responds with an overly cocky expression.

"No?"

"He asked if he just pay me later for them, like a tab," I defend Austin.

"Same difference."

"No," a police officer says. "It isn't." He tightens the cuffs on Trent and starts directing him out of the store.

Dez looks at Dex and sighs sadly. He walks away and Dex bows his head in shame.

I'm so confused.

AUSTIN'S POINT OF VIEW

I'm so confused. "Why does Trent hate me," I ask Ally. "I never did anything to him except kick him out of the dance group when he used Trish.

I see Trent standing outside with Dex and an officer. He looks at me, then to Ally, and eyes her suspiciously. She sees and shudders.

"Creep," she says. She walks over behind the counter, trips an alarm and is suddenly up in the air in the confinements of a booby-trapped net. She screams and tries to rip the net. We're all there, suddenly trying to get her down.

She's freaking out despite everyone's pleas for her to stop. Eventually she rips the net and falls in to arms of myself and Dez. We put her down and she's in the embrace of me, Dez, and Trish, who, until this moment has been silent about the Trent thing.

"I hate that guy," she mumbles.

"Hey!" we hear an officer yell. "Where are they? They're gone!"

ALLY'S POINT OG
