Disclaimer: This story is based on a book I read a while ago with the title: Three Meters Above the Sky by Federico Moccia. While it won't be exactly the same, it will be similar in some aspects. I do not own Austin & Ally.
Chapter 5.
Erick presses the button marked as apartment 125 in the Doorbell panel. Jace, Dallas, Jackson, Trent, Dez and Austin wait behind him.
"Hello?" comes a girl's voice on the other end.
"Oh, hello. Is Isabella here?" Erick answers.
"Isabella who?"
"Isabella Connor, you know, the redhead." He says exasperatedly.
"Oh yeah, Bella. She's here, do you want me to tell her something?" the voice asks.
"Nothing. Open up. It's her brother and I need to give her the house keys she forgot".
Suddenly the building's door buzzes and they all laugh as they open it and head to the apartment. Once they arrive, Erick knocks on the door. A redhead opens. When she sees the group of guys, confusion written all over her face.
"Um, who of you is my brother?" Isabella asks them.
All of them raise their hands with a grin and then without permission they go inside the apartment. Isabella sees Erick. "What were you thinking, bringing these people here!?" she demands. Erick just shrugs at her: "relax, we will just have some fun and then we'll get going".
As soon as they are inside, Dallas, Jackson and Trent go directly to the buffet and start munching on anything they can find. Dez in the other hand, starts looking directly for the paren't room, he finds it and it's unlocked.
He comes in to find the purses of all the invitees. He closes the door and stars rummaging through all of them taking any cash he finds. As he starts going through the last one a girl comes inside the room and stops dead at her tracks when she sees him.
"Close the door!" Dez urges her and she does. They stare at each other. "Well? What do you want?" Dez asks the girl with black curly hair.
"My purse…"
"Well… take it." He answers benocking all the purses on the bed.
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"Cause and idiot has it on his hands" she snaps back.
"Oh! This one?" Dez lifts the one he is currently going through. Just then he finds the wallet so he takes it out and throws the purse to the girl who catches it. "There you go".
"Hasn't your mom ever told you that it's impolite to go through a lady's purse?" Trish asks him while searching for something she needs in it.
"Never met her, so no. But has your mom never told you, you can't go around in life with only $50 dollars in your wallet?" he asks her back.
"That's my pay of the week!" She yells at him.
"It was the pay of your week" He tells her grinning.
"Now I'll starve thanks to you"
"Maybe I could take out for pizza tomorrow" he tries.
"No thanks, when I'm the one paying, I would prefer to decide who I am going with" she replies roughly and then finding what she needs in her purse takes it into her hand and throws the purse back at the boy. "When you are done, please put my wallet back in its place. Thank you"
As she turns around Dez comes quickly towards her and stops her.
"Wait a moment! What did you take out of your purse?" He says trying to make her open her hand.
"Nothing that could interest you." she tells him trying to get away but Dez insists.
He takes her hand and forcefully makes her open it and inside her hand is tampon. Dez starts laughing loudly as he lets go making Trish blush and tear up.
"I'll definitely not take you out for pizza tomorrow" he tells her between fits of laughter "What would we do after that? Tell each other jokes?"
"Oh surely not!" She yells at him, tears on her eyes "I doubt that I know any of the dirty jokes that would make an asshole like you laugh. And the ones that I do know, surely your little brain would not understand!". She then storms out of the room and Dez is left there not knowing what to do. He considers putting back the $50 dollars in her wallet but decides instead that he will give them back in portions.
Austin walks around observing everyone, catching on to the shallow conversations of the town's rich kids. As he is exploring the place, he sees a couple, opening the terrace's glass door. The guy is one of those preppy handsome boys, with expensive clothes. The girl on the other hand, has a gorgeous smile, she is clearly laughing at something the boy said, the light of the moon behind her makes her delicate white dress translucent just for a moment. Even from far away, Austin can feel the intensity of her eyes, deep and brown. He remembers her, he already met her not too long ago. Austin keeps his eyes on her. They are headed off to the drink's table and suddenly Austin starts feeling thirsty himself.
"Well, I see that you followed my advice" Austin says once he is standing in front of her, only the table coming in between. The girl looks up at him confused. "I see you are trying to forget your problems, although, I would have recommended someone better but seeing it's a first try, I guess he will do" he tells her as he signals Gavin with his head.
Ally looks at him curiously. She knows him, although she already decided it's not someone she likes. Where has she seen him before? Austin refreshes her memory.
"A few days ago, I took you to school" he tells her answering her unasked question.
"That's impossible, my dad takes me to school everyday" she tells him confidently.
"You're right. Let's say that I escorted you instead. I was right besides your car"
Realization washes over Ally and suddenly she is no longer in such a good mood.
"Oh it's you! The guy who only talks idiocies." she tells him and Austin exaggerates an expression of hurt due to her comment.
"Ally is this guy bothering you?" Gavin suddenly interrupts their conversation. Which, he still does not know, will be very unfortunate for him. Austin does not even turn to look at him.
"No Gavin, it's okay" Ally answers him with a reassuring smile.
"So, if I'm not bothering you, does that mean you like it?" Austin asks her with his usual cocky smirk.
"You are completely irrelevant to me" she answers him coldly. "I would even say, you bore me" she adds making Austin grin.
Gavin tries to put an end to the discussion by getting Ally's attention: "Would you like me to serve you something to drink Ally?"
"A coke please" Austin replies his eyes still focused on her. Gavin ignores him and asks her again. Austin turns to look at him for the first time.
"Yes, a coke, did you not hear me? And hurry up!" Austin tells him roughly trying to provoke him which seems to work easily.
Ally's hand comes to rest as Gavin's chest "Let it go, I'll take care of it" she tells him softly. Austin inexplicably feels a rush of jealousy as he hears how she talks to him.
She takes the bottle of coke and starts serving a glass which surprises Austin.
"See? you look so pretty when you behave nicely Ally" Austin comments trying her name in his tongue for the first time. She gives him the too familiar fake smile he has seen before as she comes closer with his drink. Without warning she throws the coke all over his face.
Gavin starts laughing hysterically besides Ally who is looking too satisfied with herself. Austin discharges all his rage with him and pushes him with all his strength making him crash with the table of snacks besides them. Ally looks at him disgusted.
"You are a savage!" She yells at him.
"You're right. And this savage needs a shower because he's all sticky now. Seeing as this is your fault… you and I will take a shower together." He says picking her up roughly from her legs and placing her on his shoulder.
"Put me down you ignorant beast! Help me!" Ally screams desperately but everyone just watches paralysed. She pounds his back as hard as she can but to him it's nothing. Gavin stands up and does and attempt to stop him but Austin throws him a kick in the stomach that sends him crashing against other guests.
As his friends watch the scene unfolding, it encourages them to make a chaos out of the party. The birthday girl watches helplessly by the door. Austin approaches her "where is the bathroom here?" he asks her, she numbly points him where it is.
Ally screams hysterically and keeps trying to kick him. "Put me down! You will regret this!"
Austin laughs while approaching the bathroom door. "And who is going to punish me? Thank wimp of a boyfriend you have?" he asks her. He enters the bathroom and opens the shower sliding door. Ally holds on with all the strength to the frame but it's no use.
Ally decided then to change tactics and play innocent. "Okay, okay… I'm sorry. I made a mistake"
"I already know that" Austin says entering the shower with her body still in his shoulder. "But the deed is done and you need to learn your lesson"
He opens the shower making sure it is the coldest possible and it points at Ally's face. She gives a shriek when she feels the cold water, "You are a imbecile!" she manages to yell at him. He puts her right beneath the shower making sure that the water gets her everywhere.
Suddenly the bathroom door opens and Dallas comes in: "Austin, hurry up! Someone called the police!" he tells him hurriedly before leaving.
Austin closes the shower and puts Ally's body on the floor. She is completely wet, her hair all over her face. She holds on the wall, breathing heavily. Austin takes of his shirt, takes one of the towels in the drawer and begins drying himself. Ally watches him furiously still trying to get her breath back but his perfect abs do not go unnoticed.
He looks at her with a big smile "You should get dry, we don't want you getting a cold now do we?"
Ally tries to fix her hair and she looks at him like she will kill him. He pretends to be scared. He notices that her dress, now completely wet, is sticking to her body and it is now see-through. He is able to tell she is wearing matching lace lingerie.
"Do you want the towel or not?" He asks her offering her the one he was using.
"Why don't you shove it up your ass?" She snaps aggressively.
Austin widens his eyes mockingly. "Wow, I was not expecting that big word to come out of such innocent and cute lips. The next time we shower together remind me to wash your mouth with soap" he tells her while twisting his shirt getting all the excess water out. Then he exits the shower and as he is about to leave the bathroom Ally grabs a bottle of shampoo and throws it at his back but his reflexes are good and she barely misses. He turns to look back at her with a triumphant smirk and leaves.
"I HATE YOU" she yells at the top of the lungs which she is sure he was able to hear.
Austin exists the apartment and the building. Erick, Trent, Jackson and Jace have already left but Dallas and Dez are waiting for him impatiently with worried look on their faces.
"Oh there you are. Hurry up will you?" Dez urges him. Austin turns on his motorcycle and they get as quickly as possible from that place.
