Ally's POV

"Wha-what-how-when-ho-wh-wha-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" I finally yelled out but soon regretted forgetting that the girls were upstairs.

I hear a door open from upstairs and my heart beats out my chest. "Is everything alright down there, Amy?" I hear a sober Cheryl shout down the stairs. "Yes, everything is fine." I reply quickly which probably raised suspicion.

Raina on the other hand looked calmer than a peach.

"Are you sure? It sounded like you screaming." Cheryl added with concern in her voice. "Yeah, it was just a few dishes that fell and some glass broke on the floor." I lie impressively.

"Oh, do you need any help?"

"No, not at all. I got it. Go to sleep. I'm gonna hang down here for a while." I tell her hoping that she'll leave it at that.

"Okay...goodnight." She finally says closing the door as I sigh from relief but not for long because I'm facing my childhood and current best friend right now.

Raina looks at me with raised eyebrows as if she was waiting for me to say something else besides the confused yelling. "This isn't real. You can not be standing in front of me right now. No way. No freaking way." I start talking to myself pacing back and forth next to the counter as I watch her fold her arms against her causally watching me in amusement but I found nothing funny.

"You're definitely not dreaming because I actually look this good." She stated and that was the sense of humor Raina always had and that's what also confirmed that this is really real. She's actually in front of me. She's actually hear and aware of my disguise.

"How the hell did you find me and know where I was?" I whisper finally turning to her still in complete shock. "I knew where you were for 5 months." She admitted as my eyes widen.

"That's not possible."

"5 months, Ally."

"No-"

"5 months!" She whispered yelled back making me go silent.

"I was your best friend. You think I didn't notice when you weren't happy? You think I didn't see your facial expression before you went on your gazillionth talk show? Or 50th performance for the exact same song?" She commented as I just listened deeply.

"I tracked your phone before for you threw it away and that's when I found it in the trash and saw you walking a block away. I followed you until you checked into a hotel and after a while it was obvious you didn't plan on coming back. At least for a good while and I knew it was because of a much needed break but...it's time to come back to your life, Ally." She tells me as I shake my head not wanting to hear this same speech but from someone different. These conversations are exhausting.

"I don't need to hear this. I already got into this with Christopher."

"Wait...Christopher knows where you are?" She asked shockingly.

"Yes, but don't be upset with him because I begged him not to say anything and he tried to do the same thing you're doing right now and it still didn't work."

"Well, he's not me."

"It doesn't matter, Raina. I'm happier here. If you were spying on me this whole time like you say you were, then you should know that." I raise my voice sternly turning around angry placing my hands on the sink before taking a deep breath.

"I wasn't spying on you this whole time. I left once I realized you needed space. I recently came back a couple of days ago because I know that enough is enough." She told me as that didn't make me feel any better.

"Do you...think I'm saying this as punishment? Do you think I enjoy this?" She asks smartly causing me to turn around. "I don't want to do this, Ally but you a have a responsibility! A responsibility to your career, your mom and your fans! This is not your life and it's time for you to wrap your mind around that. Play time is over."

"This isn't play time. Those people upstairs are my friends. They are great people that I was fortunate enough to meet."

"That's very sweet but they don't know the real you. I do. You have to come now. It's over, don't you get that?" She asked looking frustrated. "I can't do this right now. It's 11 at night and I'm having a sleepover." I tell her nonchalantly letting her know that I wasn't going anywhere.

"Well, I'm glad you're having fun." She comments sarcastically as I don't respond. "I'm staying at a hotel only a mile away. I'll be back tomorrow so don't think I'm going anywhere." She tells me before walking away opening the back door and leaving out the backyard.

I quickly lock the back door before turning around sighing against it, taking the time to realize that that actually just happened. I head upstairs to the bedroom with the rest of the girls with the thought of that very conversation in my head for the rest of the night.

*NEXT MORNING*

The next morning is a big haze for me because I have been in a zone the whole time thinking about nothing but last night and endlessly pinching myself wishing and hoping it was just a dream. Unfortunately, I wasn't as wasted as some of my friends were.

"Ams, you okay?" Carrie asked sweetly rubbing my shoulder gently. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little tired." I say which wasn't a lie considering I barely got any sleep last night because I was too shaken up. "Oh okay. Well, we're leaving right now. We're all going in Cass's car." She tells me as I nod as we head out the door.

At the same time, I see Austin who waves and motions me over. "Um, guys I think I'll just head with my boyfriend." I tell them as they nod getting in Cassidy's car without me and pulling off.

I skip over to Austin and a smile appears on his face. "Hey baby," He said kissing me as I smile into it before pulling away. "You okay?" He asked observing me a bit.

"Yeah, why?"

"I don't know, you seem...quiet." He responded as I shrugged. "I'm fine. Let's go, huh," I say going to the passenger side as I see him watch me for a while before getting in the car himself and turning it on.

"You didn't even notice the new car print I got. It's the one you picked out." He said pulling off. "Oh, really? I'm sorry babe. I'll look at it again when we get out." I say as he nods and starts talking to me about something else but I tune it out because my suffocating thoughts won't leave me alone.

What was she doing here?! I mean...she told me what she was doing here but what is with everyone not listening to me?! I'm not a kid, they can't just tell me what to do and expect for me to listen like I'm so musical puppet. I'm a real person with real wants and needs and I deserve real respect instead of being treated like the only thing I'm good for is making money. For the first time in a long time I am happy and I don't see why they are trying to take it all away.

"So, what do you think?" I hear as I turn my head to Austin who turns a corner.

"Uh..."

"Did you hear me?" He asked as I didn't respond and he sighed and I groaned mad at myself.

"I'm so sorry, babe. Tell me again."

"No, because that's obviously not important right now."

"Don't say that. I care about what you have to say."

"I know you do, baby. But something else is going on with you and we need to talk about it if it's bothering you." He said and I realized he just wanted to make sure I was all right.

Austin pulls into the school parking lot and turns to me looking me deep in the eyes making sure I knew I had his full attention. "What's wrong?" He asked softly. "I...I think my past is catching up to me...and it may be all my fault." I admit to him emotionally as he looked a little confused but still managed to hold my face up making sure I wasn't alone.

"Tell me about it." He said as I took a deep breath as one tear fell down my cheek.

"There uh are some people that aren't happy I'm here."

"Here? In high school?"

"Yeah. They think I shouldn't be so far away. They think I'm running away to escape something."

"Are you?"

"Maybe...I think I am...yes..." I finally admit as he just observed me and right when I think he's gonna be upset and think I've been using him for some kind of getaway he kisses me softly and I can't help but return it as he holds my face lovingly.

"Whatever you're going through, we will get through it together babe. I love you, okay? And I know you love me. That's not gonna change just because things get hard alright?" He said as I smiled a little knowing that anything he said always made me feel better because he always reassured me that I had him. Forever and always. "I won't let anything happen to you." He said as I nodded leaning my forehead against his knowing how much I loved this man was too scary.

*Time Skip*

Austin's POV

I'm helping put up posters of the big and final game next weekend with Trish, Cheryl, Carrie and Cassidy. "Thanks for the help, ladies. Since Dallas and Dez are at their college interviews, I had no one else." I say as they smile towards me.

"It's no problem, Austin. I love to help around the school in anyway I can." Carrie said which doesn't shock me because she was like the sweetest person ever. "If I'm being honest, I'm only here because it's next to the guys locker and guys come out without their shirts and sweaty all the time." Trish admitted which I playfully rolled my eyes at and Cheryl nodded agreeing.

"I don't think Greyson would be okay with that..." I teased as Cheryl hit my arm. "You snitch at my staring then you don't get posters hung up." She threatened. "My lips are sealed." I respond as we begin to hang up as much as we can.

"At least Mr. Davis was nice enough to bring the small TV out here so we wouldn't be bored to death." Cassidy commented. "It's the news channel, Cass. I'm still bored to death." Trish stated making us all laugh when the channel gets interrupted with another network showcasing Ally Dawson's face.

"This is a national broadcast. There has been multiple sightings of missing pop star Ally Dawson in Miami, Florida...etc." The woman starts to go in details of people's quotes on how and when they saw her and we all look at each other.

"Am I the only sick of hearing this? It's obviously all lies." Carrie said with a sigh going back to hanging things up.

Trish and Cassidy look at each other strangely and start avoiding eye contact with everyone. "Why the faces? Have you two seen her?" Cheryl joked making the rest of us laugh but they laugh awkwardly shaking their head.

"The whole situation is crazy. I hope she's found though because this goose chase must be driving her mother nuts." I said feeling bad for the family who's yearning for the star. "Maybe we should go on an Ally Dawson hunt one day. I wonder how much money we'll make." I say half jokingly as only Cheryl and Carrie laugh at the thought.

"I could get on board with that. It would definitely take my mind off of graduation for a while." Cheryl giggles amused. "Plus, her being in Miami wouldn't be the craziest thing considering she's originally from here. Most people forget that just because she's lived in LA so long." She states as I nod agreeing.

"Come on guys, are you serious? This whole things is a joke!" Trish shouted.

"We know, we're just kidd-"

"Do you really think a pop star would be here? Think about it. I doubt the first thing she'd do is be around normal and boring people like us compared to her." Cassidy adds.

"We didn't mean-"

"You guys need to let this go. It's not a funny topic to just talk about it so carelessly." Trish said as they both folded their arms against their chest.

Carrie wasn't even paying attention because she was so focused on hanging up the posters but Cheryl and I looked at them weirdly and suspicious of how oddly defensive they are of this pop star but decide to leave it alone and finish the job we came here to do.

Ally's POV

I head to photography class who I have with Chris, Trish and Cheryl. Trish and Cheryl were a little late because they were helping my boyfriend set up some posters that I couldn't do.

Our teacher assigns us with a 45 minute mission to capture pictures around the school of people and places of our choice. We all leave out the room and walk around trying to find someone that either captures our eye or inspires us. I see Austin finish up with the last of his posters and run over to him.

"Hey, you." I say as he smiles showcasing his beautiful deep dimples. "Hi gorgeous. Don't you have photography right now?" He questioned as I smiled adorably at how he memorized all my classes. "I do." I say shaking my camera in his face as he chuckles at himself not noticing it before.

"We have to find something we find camera worthy and capture it on film. Will you be my personal model?" I ask with puppy dog eyes.

"I don't know, babe. I don't know how to be a model."

"Pleeeeeeeease." I beg also breaking out the pouty lip as he groans with his head back. "Fine." He gives in as I cheer kissing him quickly before taking his hand and running to the corner I wanted before anyone else got to it.

"Okay, just stand."

"Any particular way you want me to be?" He said moving around awkwardly causing me to giggle.

"When I take pictures of people, I just want them to be themselves and then I'll go from there." I tell him as he nods a little nervous before cracking his arms and starts doing some cool and sexy photos which at times made me giggle because he was getting really into it.

"Well, do you wanna see some of them?" I ask after about 20 minutes of me taking pictures of him. He nodded rushing over to my side as I flicked through different pictures of him and he smirked heavily. "No wonder you can't get enough of me. I am extremely sexy." He said making me laugh and bumping his side.

"Yo, lovebirds." We hear Trish say behind us. "You guys mind being my models for this project?" She asked as we looked at each other. "We are a hot couple, why not?" Austin said as I giggled before nodding in agreement putting my equipment down and going where she wanted us.

Austin and I pose normally holding on to each other and then one where's he's dramatically dipping me and then another where it's a close up shot which Trish said was her favorite.

"I have this idea that involves paint but it would obviously mean getting your closed messed up..." Trish mentioned. "Um, you're lucky I'm wearing just a t shirt and jeans, and not my fashion clothes." I said before I looked to Austin.

"Babe, you don't have to. I know you have class after this." I say as he shrugged. "It's no big deal. I like a mess anyway." He said as I smiled and Trish smirked because she loved the idea of messing up somebody's outfit and threw paint on us making me screech and Austin laughs blocking me as I jumped his back and she took pictures as we did more funny but adorable photos for a good 10 minutes.

"You know...you guys really are a beautiful couple." She commented looking through the photos as we smiled. "And take that seriously because I don't give compliments out a lot." She said as we laughed. "Thanks Trish. I have to head back to class now. You got all that you need now babe?" Austin asked as I nodded and he kissed me one last time before heading to where he needed to be.

We head back to class and the teacher starts going around observing all of our work. She loves mostly everyone's but she criticizes some of it which most teachers do. She happened to love Trish's the most of Austin and I and gave her the highest grade of all. I couldn't be mad since my boyfriend and I were the reason behind it.

"Great job, everyone. I'm gonna post some of these around the school to give an example of what photography is all about. Class dismissed!" She said as the bell rang and we smiled leaving out.

*Time Skip*

Austin and I see each other as we both go to our lockers and laugh at the sight of each other because of our clothes are covered in paint. We seriously look like a freaking rainbow spit up on us.

"You walked in class like that?" I asked.

"Did you?" He asked as we laughed.

"We are so dirty. How the hell are we going to go the rest of the day like this?" I say looking down at my outfit touching different parts of it before I feel a hand grab me moving me in some direction. "Um, where are we going?" I questioned curious as his feet moved with a mission. "Uh, babe?" I said since he didn't answer me the first time. "You'll see." He says looking back at me with a smirk which turned me on for some reason before he bust through the boy's locker room shocking me.

"Oh my god, babe. What are you doing? I'm not suppose to be in here!" I screech covering my eyes just in case. "Don't worry. No one is in here and no one will be in hours." He said as I watched him lock the door and I slowly uncovered my eyes.

"So...what are we doing in here then?" I asked confused as I watched him back up but keeping eye contact with me turning on the open shower head. "We're gonna get clean." He said as I look at him strangely before my eyes widen realizing what he meant. "You can't be serious." I respond as he smirks. "I have never been more serious." He says walking over to me and kissing me softly.

"You can't tell me it wouldn't be hot to get all clean together in a place with a chance of getting caught." He said lowly which made me moan with anticipation. "You've got my attention." I reply quickly as he smiles before I kiss him roughly as we engage in a heavy make out session with lots and lots of tongue and smiles in between.

"Wait, babe..." I stop out of breath. "What am I suppose to get dressed with afterwards? These are the only clothes I have with me." I tell him as he thinks before remembering something. "You have gym next right? Just wear your gym clothes you keep in your locker. I'll get them for you after I get dressed." He told me as I smiled at his quick thinking. "Right." I say before removing my shirt.

I watch as he gets the message and starts removing his own clothes since we shouldn't take our special time being in a place we shouldn't be and doing what we shouldn't be doing.

Once we are completely naked, Austin looks me up and down in awe. "You are so beautiful." He said as I blushed before he took my hand and we walked under the shower head and begin kissing while rubbing our hands along each others bodies so the paint can come off. We watch as the paint falls off and hits our toes making them look as if they're painted.

If someone had told me 4 months ago, I'd be in a position like this, I would have laughed and called them crazy. Before I met Austin, I never even had a real boyfriend, was a virgin and never lived on the wild side because I wasn't able to.

Suddenly, Austin looked deep into my eyes and snapped. He stepped forward and pressed his body to mine in every way possible. Our lips collided, and the next few minutes were just a rushed flurry of hands flying, mouths clashing, and bodies rubbing against each other in the most delicious way possible.

Austin kissed me deeply, and I gasped into his mouth as he lined his hard member up with my center, fiercely thrusting into me, filling me completely. "Ohhhhh, god," both of us moaned breathlessly.

Austin lifted me up so I was pressed between his chest and the lockers, thrusting into me repeatedly in a pattern that was familiar to both of us. But unlike our normal sex, which is soft and sweet, this is hurried, lustful, passionate, and rough. And we are both enjoying it immensely.

Austin snapped his hips repeatedly into me, hitting my back wall with the tip of his penis every time and causing me to gasp with every thrust. My head fell back against the locker as my hands flew to Austin's arms, digging my nails into his flesh hard enough to draw blood.

My mouth opened and I let out a silent scream as my inner walls constricted around him and I fell over the edge. I collapsed in Austin's arms, falling forward into his chest. Austin pumped into me a few more times before releasing inside of my center, as I too shook while my orgasm took place.

We held each other tightly for a while until he took himself out of me as he gently put me down as we both still breathed out of breath from the extreme workout.

Austin's POV

Some of us have gym including Amy, Trish, Dez, Carrie and I. I notice that Brittany is here and hopefully it doesn't bother Amy especially since she apologized months ago. "Alright, we're playing dodge ball today and we are gonna split into two teams. Austin and Amy, you are opposing team leaders. Pick your poison." Our gym teacher told us as we did and she picked Trish first which was gonna be my pick because she throws a mean ball but I chose Dez, and she chose Carrie and we picked the rest of who we wanted.

We start to play and both teams are doing well but we get down to the wire when it's just me, Amy, and Brittany. Amy picks up a ball goes to where I am before I see her eyes shift towards Brittany and she throws it hitting her in the head.

"Ow!" Brittany shouted out in pain as some people crowd around her as Amy comes over with the gym teacher. "Oh my god, Brittany are you okay? I'm so sorry." She apologized as I scoffed inside my mind because it was pretty obvious she did it on purpose.

"Well, that is a wrap everybody. Amy, go easier next time. Brittany, you should head to the nurse. Emily, go with her." Our teacher instructed as they did and everyone else left. I pull Amy aside causing her to look at me confused.

"You look upset, babe. What's wrong?"

"You know what's wrong. Why would you hit her in the head?"

"Come on, it was an obvious accident."

"It was obviously on purpose, Amy."

"I don't think so." She said carelessly shrugging before Trish came over with a huge smile on her face.

"Amy, you have to give me a pound for that hit to the face!" She said as Amy giggled as I looked at her with raised eyebrows. "That doesn't mean anything." She says as I don't respond and she faces me completely.

"Look, I have to go home because I have a lot of homework. I'll see you tomorrow." She says before kissing my cheek and leaving.

Ally's POV

I'm heading home now and I'm terrified that Raina might have got into Cassidy's house again like she did the night before. I cannot risk her being seen by other people or my cover will be blown but that's exactly what she would want probably.

I open the door slowly thanking the gods that Cass has extra curricular's after school today and her parents are doing double's at work lately. I walk slowly looking around the living room and notice it was pretty quiet.

I finally sigh with gratefulness that she wasn't here. "Hello." I hear making me scream and jump at the same time when I see Raina on the top of the staircase.

"Oh my god, you have to stop doing that! How the hell do you keep getting in?!" I yell agitated and frustrated with this whole thing. "It's really not hard...they leave a key under the mat. Typical suburban lifestyle." She answered as I gained more annoyed.

"You know what? I actually don't even care. All I know is that you need to leave now." I tell her as she looks at me nods her head coming down the steps. "Good idea. Why don't you come with me?" She asked smartly folding her arms against her chest as I roll my eyes.

"I came here for a reason...to get away and I've found way more than that. I found happiness with a guy that I want to spend the rest of my life with."

"Oh, stop being so dramatic, Ally. It's been 5 months."

"Yeah, 5 months in which I've been happier than I have in my whole life." I say which makes her go quiet.

"You were my best friend in the whole world before and after you became a star." She said making me feel a little sad at the statement.

"I understand that you were becoming miserable with your life. If I didn't, I could have been said something and told someone to come get you."

"I know. I'm sorry. I appreciate you for doing that but I'm not a kid anymore. I'm 18, I make my own decisions and I choose to stay until I decide to leave."

"When is that exactly?"

"After I graduate and I'm gonna tell my boyfriend who I really am."

"Please, listen to yourself. None of this is real. You made up this person who is experiencing a whole other life that isn't you and it's gonna come crashing down faster than your eyes can process." She says as I sigh not responding and she looks at me frustrated putting her hand on her hips.

"Look, I didn't come all the way here just to have a discussion or hear your decision. If you don't come with me in 48 hours, I'm letting your mother know exactly where you are." She tells me sternly even though I can tell it hurt her to say.

"You wouldn't dare."

"But I would."

"...wow."

"I'm not doing this to hurt you, Als."

"You don't get to call me that after what you just said." I said as she looked taken back because this is the first time we ever really fought. "...I love you and I don't want to watch you put yourself in a painful situation. You need to snap out of it and come back to reality. I stand by what I said, Ally. 48 hours and then we go." She says before walking out the living room and into the kitchen out of sight when I hear the back door open then close.

As soon as she leaves, I wipe my tears that I didn't even know I had and try to hold myself together. This was not what I expected when I got back home. Of course I knew she would be back because she told me she would but I didn't know she would leave me with an ultimatum. How the hell can she do this to me? I was her best friend since we were five years old. I don't know...maybe I'm not seeing things from her perspective but I explained myself and it still wasn't enough. At least Christopher gave me my space even when he didn't agree because he respected my choice even if he believed it was the wrong one but this is just not fair. This is my life and I should be in charge of my choices. Not her, not Christopher and not my mom. Me.

I decide to not dwell on that right now and go to someone who can always put me in a good mood. I walk out the house and head over to my boyfriend's next door and knock. He opens the door with a smile but confusion.

"I thought you had a lot of homework?"

"I did, but I just heard bad news and I'm looking for a distraction."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Do you wanna talk about it?"

"Does looking for a distraction sound anything like I wanna talk about it?" I ask sarcastically as he scoffs. "No, but it sure does make you so much meaner." He jokes wrapping his arms around me as I giggled going inside as he closed the door.

"You know, someday you are going to have to stop being so vague about things and talk to me Amy Russo."

"I know but now is not that time so please distract me."

"Okay, fine. How about we talk about the Brittany situation at school today?" He asked as I laughed. "I'm serious, babe. Just admit you did it on purpose." He said looking in my eyes as I playfully rolled my eyes.

"Fine, maybe I...was still feeling a little bitter after her coming onto you months ago, but now I feel much better."

"Yeah, after you gave her a good whack!"

"Yes, actually." I reply as he just smirks shaking his head.

"You are evil, Russo." He says as I push him slightly as it barely affected him. "And why you care so much huh? Something you wanna tell me?" I joke with him as he laughs shrugging.

"I just think you're better than that."

"Maybe I like to get revenge sometimes." I push him back again.

"Maybe I like seeing some pain." I say pushing him once again and he goes back hitting his wall. "Maybe I like things rough." I whisper seductively in his face.

I watch as he gets completely turned on gripping my waist tightly before kissing me hard. I return the kiss with just as much force as we explore each others mouths for the millionth time. He feels underneath my skirt and grabs onto my panties quickly pulling them down and off of me making me extremely wet as he started to leave kisses on my neck. I feel his hardness and he groans as I start to massage it before unbuckling his belt then watching him pull his pants half way down.

Austin sexily pushes me up against the wall before entering me while I moan ferociously. I hold onto him as he pushes in and out of me repeatedly while I begin to scratch his back from the intense pleasure intake that is getting hard to handle. "Ohhhh, Jesus," I hear Austin growl low in my ear and I almost roll my eyes in the back of my head from how good it felt to have him inside me.

"Don't stop, babe..." I practically beg because it was too good to let go of. "I got something better." He said before coming out of me and putting me gently down which caused me to pout and get upset.

"Come here." He said walking me to the couch. "Turn around." He said as I faced the opposite of him as he bent me down to the couch before entering me vaginally from the back.

"Austin," I moaned out loud as he pumped faster inside of me this time. He holds my hair as I look back at him go to work on me and softly squeezing my butt which makes the pleasure all the more better.

I groan holding onto the pillows as he starts to hit my spot just right and continues to grind into me as I feel my stomach start to tighten knowing I was close to my edge. I knew he was too because he begin to throb inside of me and it just made me even more turned on. He bends turning my head around as we kiss as he continues pushing inside of me before he groans loudly in my mouth when I feel him cum inside of me as I orgasm myself.

We sigh out of breath before allowing ourselves to fall onto the sofa. We sit in silence for a while before I have the urge to say something I've been saying in my head ever since I lost my virginity. "God, I love sex." Austin stares at me for a few seconds before cracking up making me giggle. Then he leans in kissing me and caressing my cheek softly while adoring my face.

"I love you." He said as I smiled giving him a sweet peck as we stare in each others eyes but I can't help but think about what Raina said about snapping out of this and returning to reality. What the hell am I going to do?
