Ch. 37

*Austin being too tired to walk Ally home decides to sleep downstairs. He gently picks the sleeping Ally up and puts her on the couch. He says goodnight to his parents and lays on the other side of the couch after lightly kissing her cheek and putting a blanket on her.

*The next day Ally is at school looking for Brooke. She asks Austin to be with her incase Brooke attacks her. They find Brooke in the gym.

Ally: Brooke stop trying to break us up. Don't u deny it. We know it was you.

Austin: This won't change anything. I'm leaving Ally to be with you.

Brooke: That's not fair! We were meant for each other.

You'll be mine Austin! I'll never give up.

Austin: That's never going to happen.

Ally: You're crazy. You only like him because he's captain of the basketball team.

Brooke: So what! We're soul mates. *Austin shutters after hearing that

*They show the picture and text to the princapal. He suspends Brooke for a month and she has to write a 5 page apology letter.

*At Sonic Boom Austin and Ally are playing songs on their guitars. They have a contest to see how many songs they know.

*Later that day Austin is at Dez's house playing video games. Ally is alone in Sonic Boom. She's taking count of the inventory and displaying the new merchandise. She doesn't here Brooke come in. When she looks up she's startled to see her.

Ally: What are you doing here? You're not welcome here. Get out.

Brooke: I'm looking for my boyfriend.

Ally: He's my boyfriend and he's not here. Now go away.

Brooke: I'm going to make you a one time deal. Break up with Austin and I'll never bother you again.

Ally: No. I love him and you can't change that.

Brooke: You what?!

*Ally just realized what she said and becomes worried.

Ally:(stutters) I l-love him. Now get out or I'll call the police.

Brooke: I'm going to beat you so hard you'll need to be mentally instituted for the rest of your life. *Moves toward her with her fist in the air. *An employee and classmate named Evan comes in and sees what's happening.

Evan: Leave her alone Brooke! Get out of here now!

Brooke: You're not the boss of me. You can't tell me what to do!

Evan: That's true I have no authority over you but I know who does. Your dad. I'm sure he'll love to receive a phone call that his princess is tormenting the same girl from school again. Since it's the reason you got a month suspsion at school I'm sure he would to hear how wiseky you're using your time because you're not even supposed to be out. You're grounded remember?

Brooke:(whining) You're such a tattletale. Don't tell my dad. He'll never let me use my phone again or his credit card.

Evan: I'm telling him anyway. Now go home. *Brooke glares at him and Ally before storming out.

Evan: Are you ok Ally? She's such a brat.

Ally: I'm fine. Thanks, for defending me. She's so hard to deal with.

Evan: Trust me. I would know. I had to spend a summer with her. Worst three months of my life.

Ally: Why would you have to spend so much time with her?

Evan: She's my cousin

Ally: I'm so sorry

Evan: Me too. I hope deep down in the family tree that we're somehow not related. I swear one day in going to get a DNA test.

Ally: With your luck she could be part of a motorcycle gang who loves fashion and very rich. *Laughs

Evan:(laughs) I wish

*They both laugh at the joke. Austin and Dez walk in but they don't notice. Ally's back is toward the counter. *Dez tries to warn Evan to back away from Ally before Austin already red face explodes from anger.

Evan: I should go. I don't want my face rearranged.

Ally: He's right behind me isn't he?

Evan: Yeah, your body guard is here and if I don't leave I may not may make it home with all my limbs working.

*Ally turns around and sees Austin frowning with his arms crossed. Dez looks as scared as Evan.

Ally: Before you pop a nerve let me explain. Evan is only here because he was defending me.

Austin: From who?

Ally: Take a wild guess

Austin: Brooke was here. What did she do?

Ally: She came in here looking for you. I told her to leave then I said something I regret. She threathed to beat me so bad I would need to be mentally institutionalized.

Evan: I walked in to start my shift when I saw Ally backed up in the corner by Brooke. I know her weakeness. She was out of here.

Austin: How do you know her weakeness. I didn't think she had one. *Snickers with Dez

Evan: She's my cousin

Austin and Dez: That's unfortunate.

Evan: Yeah...

Ally: It's closing time now. You can do your shift tomorrow Evan.

Austin: We should all get home. I'm sorry if I scared you Evan. Honestly I didn't know you worked here.

Evan: I just started last week. I don't blame you for getting protective. She's a very special girl. You're lucky to have her.

Dez: You want to start hanging out with us at school?

Evan: Sure, that sounds great. Thanks for asking.

*They all go home
