Hey guys. Who's ready for Brooke? Don't worry- she's not a freak and never has been in this story XD.
I just made a FictionPress! My user is PazzaAndCake2333 :). On with the story.
Austin looked up at the stars. "Where have you been?" he asked to the sky. He believed with all he had that there was a God, but with what had been happening, he questioned it.
He strained his ears to listen when he heard talking from not too far away. "He looks blue," he heard Jeanette's voice murmur.
"Maybe he wants to talk about it," Gavin responded, his tone the same as hers. "Hey, Austin!" he said louder. He approached him, Jeanette falling behind him
"Hi." He waved quietly. Why was it that whenever he didn't want to talk other people wanted to talk to him? And whenever he wanted to talk they didn't feel like talking? But Austin didn't like hurting their feelings. He just didn't really want to talk about what was bothering him. He already talked to Ally today and spent the whole day with her at the hospital talking about anything and everything. He didn't want to get upset and emotional again. Not in front of them, they were happy, and he didn't want them to worry.
"There sure are a lot of stars out tonight," Gavin said, obviously trying to make conversation as he plopped down on the curb.
"Billions," Jeanette said awkwardly as she sat down on the other side of Austin.
"Mhm," Austin said so quietly he wondered if his friends heard him.
"Are you okay man?" Gavin asked seriously.
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" Jeanette asked.
"Of course I'm sure!" he snapped. "Anyway," he said after a silence and an apologizing look at Jeanette for snapping, "how are you guys? Where were you?"
"Good," Gavin said. "We just got back from dinner and a movie. You know, to celebrate."
At first Austin didn't know what he meant, but then he realized it was to celebrate that Jeanette was on remission. Idiot, what else are you going to forget? Your own wedding? Krystal's funeral in a week? he scolded to himself.
"Nice."
"How's Ally?"
"Okay."
"I'm glad to hear that. Do you think she'll be okay?"
He thought back to what Ally told him. "I know she'll be okay," he finally smiled.
"I'm gonna head up," Jeanette said, standing up. "My mom wants me back by 9:00. Bye Gavin," she gave him a kiss on the cheek and waved goodbye to Austin.
Gavin watched her back and turned back to Austin. "She's great, don't you think?" he said with a smile.
"Yeah, she is." As he looked at Gavin he realized that he hadn't chosen a best man yet. Ally had already chosen her maid of honor, which was Trish. Gavin wouldn't be bad, he thought. But what about Dez? He'll lose the rings, wear a weird tux to the reception, burn down the church, and try to put the fire out by- Oh! What am I doing? Dez isn't THAT clumsy, is he? Gavin is... aggressive sometimes. I wish Elliot was still here, he'd be the perfect best man. He's always happy and thinks what good could come out of things. No wonder Piper misses him so much.
"Austin, are you okay?" Gavin nudged him.
"Yeah, I was just... thinking." He had been thinking about a lot of things lately. And at times he over-thought.
"About what?"
"Well... I-I've been thinking... who is going to be my best man?"
"Well I can-"
"Yeah there is you," he interrupted, "then there's Dez."
Gavin nodded in understanding. "I don't care who you choose," he said after a pause. "Best man or not, I'm still your friend, and I'm still going to the wedding, and hey- I'm still one of the groomsmen right?"
"Of course, and thanks, I'm glad that you understand."
"I'm gonna head up," Austin said, standing up. "I'll see you later Gavin."
"I should go to."
"Goodnight," Austin said as he entered the lobby and went up the elevator.
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
Ugh.
Austin shut the alarm off and sat up in his bed. He barely even slept that night. Owen wouldn't stop screeching. He guessed he missed Ally. No, he knew they missed Ally.
It was almost 4:30 in the morning when Austin was just about to leave. Owen looked sat. So did Prince. Austin always believed that animals had feelings. "I miss her too guys," he sighed before he left.
Austin hopped into the car. He stopped when he realized Ally's songbook was on the passenger seat. Shaking his head, he drove out of the parking lot. He wasn't going to read her book again. But having it with him was like having a piece of her with him.
When he got to the airport, he instantly spotted Brooke and Matthew.
Only then he realized how much he missed her. He got out of the car and hugged both of them. "Hey guys!"
"Hey Austin," Matthew said, sounding overwhelmed.
Blushing slightly, Austin pulled away from the hug. "Sorry, I just really missed you guys," he said sheepishly.
"I hear you're a hero," Brooke said, getting closer.
"Well," he smiled, "I don't know about hero, but-"
She interrupted him by hugging him. "I really missed you."
"Me too Brooke." He had so many questions. Austin hadn't seen Brooke in awhile since she decided to move back to Oklahoma City.
"So are you two going out yet?" Austin asked, and he saw them both blush like mad as they sat in the backseat, holding each others hands.
"No..." Matthew said awkwardly.
"That'd be weird," Brooke blushed.
"Totally weird," Matthew said, "I-Is it hot in here?"
Austin laughed and shook his head. "Oh young love," he sighed dreamfully.
"Oh come on!" Brooke gave him a slap on the arm, still blushing. "We're all the same age. Just because you're engaged-"
"Gosh Brooke I was just kidding," he said. "So defensive sometimes."
"Whatever, Matthew and I are..." Uh huh. "I..." her voice trailed off.
"Seriously," Matthew spoke up, "it's really hot in here."
"Matthew the AC is on full blast," Austin reminded him. Matthew slumped down in his seat to the point where he couldn't even see outside of the window.
"So where's the hotel?" he asked quietly, changing the subject. Brooke and Matthew decided to stay at a hotel for the few days they were in Miami.
"Not far," Austin told him. A moment later he got a phone call. "Hello?"
"Austin!" it was Ally's voice. She must have ben calling from the hospital, because it was an unknown number.
"Ally? Are you okay? Is-"
"Austin, you idiot, everything is perfect!"
"For a girl that has a broken arm and a fractured leg sure sound happy." He smiled in amusement.
"Listen! They're going to keep me another night or two and they're going to releasing me! I'm getting out of here!" she said excitedly.
"That's great!" His heart felt whole again with that simple sentence. "Ally I love you so much. I'm sorry I've been so negative about everything lately. I just-"
"I love you too Austin," she said, sounding like she was going to cry.
"We can get back to planning our wedding!"
"Yeah! Well I'm going back to bed, my nurse wants me to rest. Bye, love you!"
Before he got the chance to respond, she hung up. He guessed it was because she was so excited.
God really does work miracles.
So it's a quarter to midnight here and I really need to go to sleep. This was going to be much longer because I was going to add the funeral but I need to go to bed and it's past my bedtime (don't tell my mommy please ;) XD).
QOTD: What other Disney Shows do you watch besides A&A?
MA: Well I like GMW but that's pretty much it. I'm not a huge fan of Disney Channel anymore. A&A and GMW are the only exceptions :) But that's just me.
