*Emerges from the dead*
Hey it's me again! What's up?
Please don't shoot me I'm innocent.
Hey guys, so I am so very sorry for not writing, I've just really busy with school and right now I'm on spring break so why not write, right?
Hehe, nervous laughter.
Someone even commented if this story is done or not and trust me I'm nowhere near done with this story just yet.
But in my defense, I started writing this chapter on January 5th but never got time to complete it.
Anyways, I've been having a bit of writer's block with this story and I guess that's why I've been putting it off. (That and I'm an extreme procrastinator)
But to reward y'all I'm given y'all an extra long chapter.
Anywhooooo let's get on with the story!
I talk too much ;)
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
So, here's a summary of the last chap just in case you forgot.
Basically Ally gets a message from Cassidy telling her about Trish's party and Ally wants to convince Austin to go. Then when Ally goes to tell him she also confronts Austin about the kiss and Austin being Austin chews her out and tells her that it was nothing and he doesn't like her and blah blah blah. And gavin and Dallas find out about the party due to Elliot's phone and yeah that's it.
Now lets get it on!
-.-.-.-.-..-..-
She woke up, her cheeks a little wet and sticky from all the crying.
She didn't know why she got so emotional, but just something about the way he spoke to her and wanted to ignore the kiss that happened, just made her heart pang.
Why was she acting like this? Getting so emotional over a boy?
She couldn't have liked him, could she?
No, of course not. He was a dick.
She sat up and walked into the bathroom to wash her face.
"Ahh!" she heard and suddenly she was met face to face with Austin. He looked startled, his eyes as wide as saucers.
She looked lower only to realize he was shirtless with a towel hanging loosely around his hips.
The tattoos, that she had come to love were also on display. If she hadn't had been mad at him she would have been salivating by now.
"Um Excuse Me!" he yelled, frustrated and pondering why on earth she was still in the doorway.
"Haven't you ever heard of privacy Dawson!" he remarked.
Any other day she would have just apologized and closed the door but no, this was the boy who made her cry last night.
"And haven't you ever heard of locking a door, so you can attain this privacy." She quipped.
His eyes widened, he honestly didn't expect that.
"I didn't think you'd be up. You know you usually wake up at like 1 in the afternoon."
"Yes well since you know, you kinda have to kill me in a couple months, I've been alert and on edge my whole time."
He fumed and closed the door before he did something he'll regret. Sometimes she made him so mad, but he had to admit her newfound fire kind of excited him and at the same time made his heart swell as well as other things.
He looked in the mirror.
What was happening to him?
He couldn't start liking her could he?
No, no no no no no, she was waaaay to annoying.
He reopened the door and walked into the hallway to go into his bedroom. He caught a quick glimpse of her on the way.
Her arms were wrapped around her knees which were being hugged into her chest, one of her hands clutching her phone, her thumb scrolling.
Besides her fiery personality just now she almost looked sad right now.
Maybe it was the fact that she hadn't left his apartment in only a week and she missed her friends and family?
Could it have been what he had said last night?
He shook his head and walked into his room to change.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-..
She scrolled through all her messages and voicemails. With each of her friends leaving her with one, some more than others.
All of them having something about the party, whether if they were asking her what she was wearing, if to book a hair appointment for her, or simply asking her if she was coming at all.
She sighed turning off her phone. Watching these messages and listening to the voicemails just made her miss her friends more.
Plus it's not like she had a reply for them. Sure she wanted to go but Austin would never let her and part of her didn't blame him because Dallas was on the loose. But the party was usually very exclusive. Only invited guests had a password that came with their text invitation. There's no way Dallas or any of his goons could get in.
Yes, exactly there's no way they could get in.
Once she could convince Austin of that, he was sure to let her go.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Austin emerged from his room, a fresh shirt and a semi-clean pair of jeans hung on his body.
Ally was still on the same position as before yet she took on a more relaxed posture.
From behind her he could see she was looking at a picture of all her friends on Instagram.
He felt bad, she barely had anybody to talk to but him and even he knew that he could be a pain to communicate with as he would always reply with a grunt or sigh.
He sometimes wished his brother were here, Josh would've made her feel more comfortable and at home and reassure her that she was in good hands.
How could he make her feel more comfortable.
"Hey Ally." He said nervously. Ally looked up from her phone, surprised at first as she didn't see him come in. But her surprised face soon turned into a glaring one.
"What do you want?" she replied.
What did he want? He just called her not knowing what to say.
"Um, the bathroom's free now." He replied awkwardly. She rolled her eyes and looked back down at her phone.
"That's not what I meant to say." He stuttered.
What was wrong with him? Why was he acting like a preteen with a crush on his teacher?
"I wanted to know, if you wanted to do something, you know like get out of the apartment or something?" He suggested.
"Really?!" her eyes widened as she stood up and her smile could rival the Amazon River in terms of width.
"Yes, why not." He shrugged.
"Good, cause there's this party I want to go to and i-."
"No parties." He interrupted.
"But you suggested we leave the house and-. You know what screw you Austin, I've been here for a couple weeks, my friends don't even know if I'm alive anymore and you wont allow me to leave for one night to go to my best friend's party. Do you know that this isn't a regular party? We are elites, obviously we have high security and invite only. Dallas has no chance of coming in."
She felt like she was arguing with her father, except her father would put up less of a fight.
"When I suggested we go out, I meant the motel cafeteria or courts or something not a fucking party. And we can't risk you leaving, I don't care if its your friend's funeral, you cant go." Austin replied.
"You can come! Athena and Christina too, even throw in Ronnie for added protection. I would be safe. Please just one night then I could stay here and do whatever. I just need to see my friends again!" She practically begged now, a few stray tears rolled down her cheeks.
Being a spoiled child, Ally always got what she wanted, she remembered when she begged her dad to buy her Taylor Swift concert tickets and that didn't take much out of her and now she was practically begging to just see her friends.
"No Ally!" Her tears didnt go unnoticed by him but he couldn't care less. " Look I could just let you go and somehow Dallas gets to you. How do we know that Dallas didn't get a hold on an invitation huh? And he has more than enough power than some amateur security guard. But I care about y- Ronnie and I made a promise to look after you until the time comes." Austin replied. "Forget what I said about leaving, you're staying right here with me, if this is what I get for being nice to prissy little bitches well then so be it."
She scoffed and pushed his shoulder.
He laughed evilly "You're gonna regret doing that." He said grabbing her wrist.
"What are you gonna do, hurt me? Kill me? Cause if I'm not mistaken you made a promise to Veronica and I don't think she'd be too pleased to find her mortal dead. I'm not afraid of you Austin." Ally challenged.
The tension was thick, that Ally could cut it with a chainsaw.
Next Austin did something that she didn't expect.
He crashed his lips down on hers. All the passion and emotion mixed to create one hot, fiery kiss.
His tongue soon slipped into her mouth when she yelped causing the kiss to get even more heated if possible.
Her hands reached up to grab at his growing hair angrily.
His lips descended from hers down onto her chin and soon on her slender neck.
"You're still not going to the fucking party." He said in between kisses and nibbles.
"You're not the boss of me." She growled with clenched teeth.
Oh he wished he was the boss of her, he would discipline her the right way.
He growled at the vision of his own thoughts.
She couldn't hold back the whimpering sound that she mad when he hit her supposed sweet spot. He smirked in satisfactory.
Despite his cold and bad boy exterior and what he told her before, he was still a virgin. He was considered lame back in the orphanage and he was still a good kid in heart to do 'it' with any of the demons of the underworld, even if some of them seduced him.
And by the way she was acting he was guessing that she was a virgin as well. From what he's heard there's no way Lester Dawson, despite being quite a pushover, would let his only daughter become a slut.
He pulled away from her and heard her whine for him to come back.
He smiled and turned to walk away.
"I'm still going to the party, no matter how much you try to persuade me to stay." Ally quipped folding her arms.
Suddenly he was angry again. "You are not leaving this fucking apartment Ally. I will watch you every second if I have to!" He growled.
They were back to arguing again.
She sighed exasperatedly and pushed him out of the way. "You can't keep me here locked up forever!" She yelled before slamming the bathroom door. Where he could hear her screaming from inside.
He ran a hand through his hair and kicked a dining room chair to the ground. He did have sympathy for the girl though.
Part of him said 'Fine, let her act like a spoilt brat. You're only doing this to protect her.' But the other part of him said 'She's just frustrated that she can't see her friends. She's a nice girl, treat her.'
And he was right, she had been cooped up there for weeks, soon the girl might start to go insane. So because he wouldn't be able to talk with her and make her feel sane again he picked up his phone and dialed the familiar number.
"Hey Veronica, it's me, Austin, I wanted to know if you can come over?" he asked.
-.-.-..-
She slammed the bathroom door and screamed.
She was so frustrated and she didn't know why. It was just a party, yet she felt as if Austin and her were arguing about something crucial.
As if it were something else, unresolved anger maybe.
And how could she forget that kiss. Oh that kiss, it did things to her. Things that she never quite felt before. Her mind drifted back to when she pictured him while she was in the shower.
Pictured him doing things to her, that she sort of wished would've become a reality just now.
Sort of…
She still hadn't come to terms with her feelings with him, yet. Although admittedly her head over heels crush on Elliot was slowly fading away and her feelings for a certain blond was unhurriedly replacing it.
She angrily twisted the shower knob letting the streams of water fall and she waited for a warmer temperature to appear.
She sighed and began stripping off her clothes.
She felt icky with all the tears from today and last night rolling from her face down her overheated body.
'He's only protecting you Ally'
She couldn't take being locked away in his apartment anymore. She didn't care if he was protecting her. She carefully thought through a game plan in her head of how tonight would ,should, hopefully play out.
His floor was not high up so hopefully, she could climb down without paralyzing herself.
With a quick text to Cassidy telling her where to meet her and telling her to bring a spare pair of party worthy wear, she unlocked her phone and opened the texting app.
She almost felt guilty, Austin was just trying to protect her and she would be safer here than out in public.
But it was her best friend's birthday and she missed her friends so much. She needed to see them again. Austin didn't want her to facetime since it might reveal her location to which she just rolled her eyes at his stupidity. Plus she was upset with him. So she was going to do it.
She grinned to herself liking this new rebellious side. She had never really snuck out of the house before as her dad let her go anywhere she wanted.
She quickly went to her group chat replying with a quick "I'll be there."
She looked at herself in the mirror, smirked and entered the now steaming hot shower.
-.-.-.-..-.-
Ally exited the bathroom, Austin's sweats hung loosely off her body as usual.
She felt uncomfortable, here she was mad at a boy and yet she was wearing his clothing. I mean it's not like she had a choice.
He was drinking a cup of coffee and watching some tv sitcom, although his face watched it blankly as if he were watching a soap opera instead.
She went into the kitchen and took out her usual cereal and milk.
Upon hearing the noise he looked her way and saw her.
It was then she noticed how beautiful she was. Her hair was wet and slicked back and he couldn't help but notice how the involuntary but oh so tantalizing way his clothes hung off her slim body. She probably felt his stares as she looked up to his face.
"I-uh-called Veronica over to keep you company. I figured you need a girl to talk to in order to keep you sane and Athena and Christina aren't the best company.
He nervously chuckled.
Her heart warmed up at the gesture but it still didn't change her mind.
"Thank you." She said genuinely.
She walked over to the living room area and sat down with her bowl of cereal in her lap and her phone in her hand. She then read over the excited messages from all her friends, happy to see her again.
Cassidy of course privately messaged her asking about her plan, to which Ally laughed at her best friend and replied.
Austin noticed her happy mood again as she texted away on her phone.
He was just relieved she was happy again.
Oh, if only he knew.
=.=.=.=.=..=
The day was spent with the two awkwardly being around each other. Each on opposite sides of the couch.
The time for Cassidy arriving to pick her up was close and Ally grew nervous by the second.
Austin sensed this but chose to ignore it. Austin's phone beeped, to which they both sighed with relief at the awkward tension.
"Ronnie's here, I'm just gonna bring her up." Austin said as he grabbed his key and locked the door.
" Come on Cass, Come on Cass." Ally mumbled, worried her friend would come later as expected.
Her phone then vibrated signaling her friends arrival and Ally sighed in relief.
"Hey als I'm here and I think I see Austin Moon, Ooh I didn't know he lived in the same place as your cousin." Ally panicked that Austin might recognize her and sense something.
"Cass, he didn't see you right?!" Ally panicked.
"No, I'm under a tree in a dark a-."
"Good pick me up from the back of the motel I can't let him see me, just make the block."
"Wait why don't you want Austin to see y-. Oh, Ally you didn't sleep with him, did you?" Cassidy questioned.
"Cass I'll explain after just make the block." She heard her friend sigh but turn the ignition key.
She looked through the window from the living room window, and soon her friend's Benz came into view. She sighed and opened the window.
The late afternoon air hitting her face. She walked out onto the ledge and shimmied down the drain pipe. Once on the grass, she looked back up at the open window and she couldn't believe what she had just done. She got into the car, immediately met with her friends questioning glare.
Not before the two squealed and hugged each other like they hadn't seen each other in years.
Cassidy then turned the ignition key and said "Girl, you've got a lot of explaining to do."
Ally laughed and began saying that her 'cousin' kept her there and she didn't want to see Austin because of the project, she didn't want to complete.
Ally knew Cassidy was skeptical as Ally Dawson never not wanted to finish a project but she didn't push it.
Ally reached behind the back seat and pulled out the sleeveless, multi chrome sequined dress her friend brought her. She pulled off her clothes and pulled the dress over her head, glad to be in something more her style and not boyish sweats.
She opened the window letting the fresh air whip her face and the streetlights aluminate her face.
She felt free.
-.-.-.-.-..
She never realized how hard makeup was to do while someone was driving. But now she knew.
The pulsing beat erupting from the lavish house could be heard from inside the car. Excitement yet guilt washed over her as she took notice of how far she's come.
She walked up the porch steps and was greeted by the guard. Ally showed him the invite on her phone with the password on it and he let the girls in.
She was immediately greeted with the smell of alcohol and sweat. She deeply missed the party atmosphere.
Ally heard the squeals from her friends before she saw them. She was then deeply enveloped with hugs and a few tears were shed.
An hour later found them all, dancing, all of them intoxicated.
Ally was dancing on anyone that came behind her.
She saw Lola standing over in the corner looking as nervous as ever. She walked or more like stumbled over to her and held her hands.
"Whaaaat are youuu doing herree all by your loaanssome?" Ally slurred.
"Oh hey Ally, um, I just, didn't want to dance." Even in Ally's drunken state she still sensed something wrong.
"Lola what's wr-."
"AHH! Ally it's our song!" Trish squealed not before dragging Ally to the dance floor.
Ally looked back at Lola one last time and followed her friend on the dance floor.
Closer by the Chainsmokers and Halsey blasted from the speakers. Even though it was overplayed it was still 'their' song.
Ally danced like crazy when the beat dropped.
Another male came up behind her and Ally snaked her hand behind his neck. Cassidy gave her the thumbs up signaling the person was probably good looking.
"You're a real good dancer. Very Sexy." The husky voice exclaimed.
"Thanks, what's your name hot stuff?" She replied.
The voice laughed and removed their hands from her hips. "Well this is awkward, I thought you knew me." Ally arched a brow but continued dancing.
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Dallas."
-.-.-.-..-.-
