A/N: Hello, all. :) Before we begin with this chapter, I wanna tell you all about my newest fanfic. It's under the Hunger Games category, and it's called "Things Unspoken". Basically, it's about Peeta and Katniss's daughter and son trying to uncover the secrets of the past and they go to extraordinary lengths to do it. First chapter is up, I'd really love it if you would all give me your feedback. :) Anywho, here's the next chapter!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin&Ally nor am I associated with it in any way. All characters belong to Disney, however, I created Ian and Tenley. All I did was twist the story line. I also don't own the song "Never Say Never" by The Fray, nor am I associated with The Fray.
I wake up in the same position I fell asleep in. I smile, and roll over to face Austin. The sun is just rising.
He's sound asleep, making light snoring noises. His hair is all ruffled. He's so cute. I don't want to disturb him, but I can't help but to nuzzle my head under his chin. I can hear his parents getting ready for work downstairs. They had not a clue that I was here.
How did I get to where I am now? Not even a year ago, I was walking in to my first day of public school. Not even a year ago, I was attending my first real high school party. Not even a year ago, Ian had wrecked that truck. So much had happened... And it's all flown by.
Austin is beginning to stir. He tenses at first, then softens. I suppose he didn't realize I was still here. "Goodmorning, beautiful." He whispers, kissing my forehead. I smile at him.
We don't move until the house is quiet about thirty minutes later, and we're positive his parents are gone. We slip out of his bed and unlock his door, heading down the hall. Ian's door is still shut tight, he hasn't stirred yet.
Austin makes himself pancakes, and I eat an apple. "What are we gonna do today?" I ask him, sitting on the counter. He shrugs. "What do you want to do?"
I bite my lip. We've done so many fun things this summer, nothing seems exciting anymore. To me, just hanging around here with him, just the two of us, would be fun. I express my idea with him, and he nods with a smile. "Sounds fun." He says, placing two fluffy pancakes on a plate for him. I bite in to my apple, and wipe away some juice that was trickling down my chin.
Ian comes down the stairs a few minutes later. The only thing he has on is his boxers, and his sandy blonde hair is sticking up everywhere. His eyes get wide when he spots me, and he clears his throat. "Umm... I'll be right back."
Ian calmly walks back up the stairs. I giggle, and Austin winks at me. It was the first time I had ever seen Ian like that.
He returns, fully clothed, his hair flattened down. His blue eyes still look dull and tired, though. He grabs an apple out of the fruit bowl, just as I had. "Goodmorning." He sighs, sitting down at the table with Austin.
Austin raises his eyebrows. "You look tired, bro." He comments, and Ian scoffs. "I'm stressed, Austin. I've been doing wedding plans like crazy, and Tenley and I have to be back home a week from today, which means I need flight arrangements..." He sighs and shakes his head. It's almost amazing how much Ian has grown up since the beginning of my junior year. He got so lucky with Tenley. It would be next to impossible to find a girl as perfect as her after you've been accused of murder.
"I'll be down there a little less than a month from now. You'll have to show me around Beverly Hills and Hollywood and whatnot." Austin says, taking another bite of his pancakes. Ian just nods, finishing off his apple. Half of mine is still left.
"Ally and I are gonna hang out here today. What are you and Tenley gonna do?" Austin asks, and Ian shrugs. "We'll probably go down to The Pier and hangout or something." Austin nods. I smile.
Ian is out of the house within an hour, and Austin and I curl up on the couch. I've decided that I just need to enjoy the time I have left with him. No more crying. No more tears. The present is a gift, and when it's gone... You never get it back again.
"Ally..." He says with a sigh, "When I get my first tour- well, if, I guess- I want you to come with me. You know that, right?"
I nod.
I could see it. In a year or two, Austin and I traveling the U.S. and having shows. Austin would be famous. And then we'd get married, and I'd be famous... Okay, maybe I'm blowing this out of proportion, but still.
We spent the day cuddling, watching movies, playing video games, and singing. We just enjoyed ourselves. Sometimes I felt like Austin and I were in "puppy love"... But I knew better. What we had was real. I've never hd a crush before Austin, besides the occasional hertbeat popstar. I didn't really even know what it was like the have a crush. But yet, somehow, I knew Austin wasn't just a crush. And by the way he looked at me, and hugged me, and held my hand, I knew that he felt the same way. I felt like we were insperable.
His parents arrived later on, and were surprised to see me. "When did you get here?" Asked Austin's mom as she hung her car keys on the wall hook. "She got here around noon. She was bored at home, so I invited her over." Austin lies. He's good at lying, though. I suppose that's not really a good thing, though.
Austin's mom just nods, and Austin's dad sits in his recliner as he always does when he gets home. "Can't believe you're going off to the real world, too, Austin." He sighs. "But, I'm proud of you, son. You're gonna make a real good living with that talent of yours."
I see Austin's cheeks get red as he says "Thanks, dad."
After eating dinner with the Moons, I know I should be getting home. My own father hasn't seen me in over a day. Austin drives me home, and hugs me tight on my front porch just as some rain begins to fall, first slow, then fast.
"Had a great time with you today, Ally." He says to me with a smile. He bends down and kisses me softly, squeezes my hand, and begins to walk away.
I don't know what makes me do it, but I step off the porch after him, and grab his shoulder. "Wait!" I breathe. He turns around questioningly, water droplets falling off his platinum hair.
"Kiss me again." I murmur.
He smiles and bends down, his lips touching mine. He wraps his arms around my back, and kisses me passionatley. He pulls back after a minute or so and looks me in the eyes. "I love you." He murmurs.
I smile. "I love you too."
I let him leave, and walk in to my own house, dripping wet.
