Bad Habits

Previously on Bad Habits...

(Ally's POV)

His breathing was ragged as he closed his eyes.

He suddenly pulled back and his lips came closer to my ear. His thumb came up to my bottom lip and gently grazed it. My breath hitched in surprise. I had never seen Austin act this way before. But then again I have only known him for two days now...

Suddenly he spoke quietly into my ear, "Is it bad...if I want to kiss you?"

Ally's POV

Austin and I were currently collecting our things on the beach.

"Why not?" He whined.

"Because no means no and I don't want to kiss you." I answered. I picked up my belongings and headed for the jeep. Ever since Austin asked me that stupid kissing question he's been nonstop asking for one.

"Just one little kiss it won't hurt anyone!" He begged.

"Why are you so desperate for a kiss? Go find some girl at the club to make out with." I said as I stuffed my belongings in the back seat. Austin opened the other side of the door and poured his items in too, "But I really want to make out with you instead."

I looked at him in disbelief and slammed the door shut.

I hopped in and started playing with my phone, I just wanted some peace and quiet.

"Just one?" He pleaded as he rived up the engine.

I angled my body to face him, "Austin, shut up and drive me back to the campus."

"Don't tell me to shut up!" He retorted, "You're the one who won't stop asking me for a damn kiss!"

"Well you're the one who keeps saying no to it! Why won't you just give in already?!" He yelled while turning a corner. I rolled my eyes, crossed my arms over my chest and slouched down in the seat. I wasn't going to take this bull crap tonight. For a moment I had thought that Austin was different, that he wanted to actually be nice to me by telling me his pain and heartache...

But no, he just wanted to butter me up for a freaking make out session!

He sighed and pulled the car over to the side of the road, "Am I being obnoxious?"

"Very much." I bluntly said.

He leaned back, "I really don't like you sometimes."

"Good. Now can we go back to the campus?" I asked.

He pulled off the side of the road and turned the corner leading us to the campus.

A couple minutes later Austin and I pulled up at my dorm.

I sighed in relief, being with Austin was a bit painful and annoying.

"Thanks for the ride back." I said while hopping out.

"Whatever." He pulled out of the parking space and disappeared behind the next turn.

I walked up the stairs towards my dorm and opened my door, "Hey Kat I was just-"

I stopped in my tracks as I saw Kat making out -quite ferociously- with Jet.

"A-Ally!" She pushed Jet off of and fixed her clothes and wild hair.

I stepped back nervously, I wanted to scream or cry... or do both. What the hell was Jet doing here? And how come Kat is making out with the little pervert who tried to rape me in the backseat of a car!?

"Well isn't it little miss Allison..." Jet purred seductively.

I could feel tears well up in my eyes as my back hit the door, "S-Stay a-away from me."

Kat raised an eyebrow, "What's going on with you two?"

She looked at me for an answer but I couldn't give her one, I didn't know how to. I was so ashamed of myself that night and I still am. Because of him I will never enjoy another party or ever go to one again.

"Can he leave..." I whispered quietly.

Kat got up and came over to me, "Ally is everything alright?"

"I...I just want to get some sleep for school tomorrow that's all." I whispered.

She nodded and smiled, "Sorry Jet but I'm going to have to kick you out." Kat laughed while opening the door. He sighed and grabbed Kat pulling her in for another kiss. I stood there absolutely disgusted as he opened his eyes and stared at me.

I decided to look down not standing another minute of this torture.

"Okay I'll come by tomorrow see you then babe." He kissed her cheek and walked past me.

"I always get what I want...and I plan on getting you." He whispered into my ear before closing the door. I took in a deep breath and locked the doors quickly before heading for the bathroom.

Kat jumped on her bed, "Ahh... I am so in love with Jet."

I spat out my toothpaste and stuck my head out the doorway, "You're in love with who?"

She giggled, "With Jet silly! He's so wonderful and he said he loves me..."

I could already feel my heart breaking for Kat. I wanted to tell her what Jet did to me and how much of a jerk he really is but something inside me wanted to see her this way, to see her happy made me really happy. Even though I have only known Kat for a few days I can see that she is an honest and true friend that does not deserve to have her heartbroken...

And that is exactly why I have to tell her the truth!

"K-Kat there's something I need-"

"By the way," she interrupted, "where were you all day?" She asked.

"Oh..." I had to make up something quick. "I was just out exploring the campus."

She nodded and opened up a magazine, "Oh that's pretty cool I guess, tomorrow we should go to the Starbucks together and get some latte's or whatever they call it. It can be our tradition!" She enthused happily.

"What time do you have class?" She asked while pulling out her schedule.

I sat my toothbrush down on the counter and came over to sit on the end of Kat's bed.

"I'm starting my first class at 11:30, what about you?" I asked.

"I have mine at 11:50, which is really weird. But the class is kind of far away from Starbucks so a head start won't hurt at all." She pushed all the books off her bed and got up to go brush her teeth.

"Don't forget we're waking up at 11:15 on the dot!" She yelled while brushing her teeth.

I sighed and got in my own bed, "I won't!" I answered as I slipped under the covers.

I turned on my side and stared at the bland colored wall, I guess I will just have to tell Kat tomorrow during our morning latte's. The worst thing that can happen in this situation is Kat not believing me but I'm hoping that she will.

She seems like a trusting type of person...I could be wrong though.

Tomorrow morning is when I'll tell her...definitely.

"So then there I was skateboarding down a big ass hill with no helmet or knee pads..." Kat was recently rambling on about how she fell into a ditch while trying to skateboard down a big hill. We were sitting in Starbucks, I was sipping on a nice vanilla bean while Kat here ordered just a regular black coffee.

"...Then I fell into the ditch! It was awesome!" She exclaimed.

I sipped on my coffee and nodded while smiling, I was so distracted by the thought of telling Kat the truth. I mean today is the first day of our Starbucks tradition and I just might be the one to ruin the whole entire mood.

I suddenly felt a hand lay upon my own, "Hey Ally, are you okay? You seem out of it."

I smiled at her, we've only just begun our friendship and she can already read me like a book.

"I'm fine it's just I wanted to talk to you about something very important." I said, she squeezed my hand tightly and took a sip of her coffee. "Okay hit me, what did you want to say?"

I opened my mouth but words couldn't process as I took in the most devastating sight.

Austin, the devil himself, had just walked up to the counter to take his order.

"What's wrong...aye! Isn't that Austin?" She squinted her eyes and laughed, "Austin!"

He turned around and the small smile on his face was replaced with a scowl. A dark scowl I knew too well not to notice. He walked over to us after getting his order and sat next to Kat slowly putting his arm around her shoulder.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

Kat sipped on her drink, "Ally and I were just getting a morning drink that's all."

He looked at me suspiciously, "You all are weird, anyways," he got up from his seat, "I have somewhere to be so...I guess I'll be seeing you later Kat. Bye Angie." He spat before walking away.

I rolled my eyes at his stupid attitude.

If he was getting this worked up about some stupid kiss I definitely don't want to be there when a girl breaks up with him. But judging that he's a total douchebag and a player, it's probably him that will break up with the girl.

"Austin's a jerk sometimes but he can be a real sweetheart Ally." Her words pulled me out of my recent thoughts.

It reminded me of the beach yesterday, when Austin and I were in the water and he was spilling his feelings out one by one. I felt a deep connection with him like no other. For a moment I was feeling his pain and all I wanted to was pull him into a tight teddy bear hug.

I smiled at her and looked at the time, it was already 11:25.

"I have to go but I'll see you later okay?" I asked while grabbing my leather bag.

She nodded and gave me a quick hug.

"I'll just have to tell her the truth when we get back to the dorms." I said to myself.

"Welcome to music theory!" Professor Laughlin spoke loudly.

I took my seat next to a girl with light brown cascading down her shoulders.

I want hair like that...

I laid my books on the floor and took in a deep breath.

Music is my life and I'm actually on my way to learning more about it. The sheer thought of graduating with my music degree makes me want to work harder than I ever have in my entire life. I'm going to prove to my mom that being a musician isn't just a waste of time and talent.

"Hi I'm Anna."

I looked over to see the brunette haired girl holding her hand out.

I smiled back and shook her hand, "I'm Allison, but you can call me Ally."

She took out her composition book and a pencil, "I heard Mr. Laughlin's class is easy but he'll throw out a lot of random pop quizzes." She said while staying intently focused on Mr. Laughlin's speech about music theory.

"You!" He suddenly shouted as he pointed at me.

"M-Me?" I stuttered. I hated being put on the spot like this.

He pulled his glasses to the bridge of his nose. Professor Laughlin, as he liked to be called, was very handsome for his age. He looked around the age of 26. His hair was cropped and he had square glasses which was really hot...

Focus Allison!

"What is music theory?"

"W-What is music theory...?" I questioned.

He leaned against his desk and took off his glasses, "I believe that is what I just asked you."

"Well...uh...m-music t-theory is-"

"Music theory is the study of practices and possibilities of music," I looked over to see Austin leaning against the door, "it generally derives from observation of how musicians and composers make music but includes hypothetical speculation."

I glared at him as he looked up at me with that childish grin of his.

I wanted to slap it right his handsome face!

"Ah... Mr. Moon, I'm surprised that you actually showed your face." Mr. Laughlin said.

Austin walked towards him, "I was busy."

"Busy? With what?" He asked.

"Things." And with that Austin came and took a seat next to me.

Mr. Laughlin cleared his throat and continued his lecture.

"I didn't need your help back there Austin." I snapped angrily.

He sighed and leaned back in his chair, "Oh really? Because you looked like an idiot stuttering."

"I was not stuttering, I was hesitating." I retorted.

"Yeah...okay."

A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A&A

*Ring Ring*

The bell rung signaling the end of school for today.

Strangely, my classes ran smoothly today. Normally on the first day of school for me something would go horribly wrong but I think my luck has changed over the past few years. Plus, nothing can go wrong in my senior year!

As weird as the way this school works, I like it very much.

Suddenly I bumped into someone who knocked my books over, "I'm so sorry!"

I shook my head, "No it's fine don't worry about it." I said as I picked up my books.

"Wait a minute, is that you Ally?"

I looked up to see Anna, the girl from class earlier this morning, "Anna?"

"Hey, what are you doing?" She asked with a bright smile.

"Nothing really. I'm just going back to my dorm so I can finish up homework, what about you?" I asked, as we began to walk together. "Same. For the first day of school they sure don't mind giving out a lot of homework."

"You're right about that, the teachers here are insanely serious and strict."

Anna laughed, "True, the teachers here are strict and some new ones are creepy."

"There are some odd teachers around here..."

She sighed and nodded, "Which way is your dorm?"

I pointed towards a tall building, "There."

"Sweet that's my dorm building too!" She exclaimed happily. We walked towards the dorm building and once we entered we took the stairs up to the second level. "You're on the second level too?"

"Yeah." She answered while taking her keys out of her front pocket.

"Hey Anna would you like to come to Starbucks with me and my roommate tomorrow morning?" I asked. I could see a blush spread her cheeks as she pulled me in for a tight hug, "I would love to!"

I laughed, "Cool, I'll come pick you up around 11:15 so be ready."

She nodded and gave me a quick hug before we departed.

Once I got to my dorm, I pulled out my keys and unlocked the door.

"You're definitely not my kitty Kat."

My body froze.

"J-Jet what a-are you doing here?" I stuttered nervously.

He got up from Kat's bed and I took a step back, "Why so shy hun?" He started to walk closer to me. My body was shaking with fear as my back hit the wall. I should have told Kat about Jet last night...

He grabbed my hand and pulled my closer to him.

"J-Jet stop!" I yelled.

"I get what I want Allison." He snapped as he pushed me on the bed.

He got on top of me and I screamed, "Shut up!" He cupped my mouth as he ripped my shirt open.

Stupid cheap shirt!

My eyes widened in fear as he took his own shirt off, "I'm getting you one way or another."

His lips attacked my neck and I whimpered as I kicked my legs frantically.

Suddenly I heard the door open, Jet's body was pulled off of mine brutally.

"You son of a bitch!"

Austin...

I sat up to see Austin pushing Jet into the dressers. He grabbed him by the shirt and threw him into the bed post which caused him to fall down from the hard impact, "I'll kill you for touching her again! I thought I told you to back off!" He screamed.

Austin's face was blood red with anger.

"Austin I-" He suddenly kicked Jet in the stomach and he kneed over in pain.

He grabbed Jet by the collar and pushed him out of the room, "And go to hell while you're at it!" He added before slamming the door shut. He came over to my side and cupped my face with his hands.

"Are you okay?"

Be strong Ally... .cry. You're a strong woman...

"I-I'm fine," I said with a laugh, "Just shaken up a bit!"

He looked at me as if he was searching for some sort of fear and sadness.

I immediately looked down, "Well, I have a lot of homework and-"

I was suddenly pulled into a tight hug by Austin. His hand laid on the back of my head as his chin laid on my shoulder. I felt my body stiffen and my eyes water. I didn't want to cry in front of Austin, he doesn't deserve to see me like this.

"Ally, you don't have to cry for me. You can cry for yourself." He whispered.

"Please cry...for me please..." He begged quietly.

That was enough to get the tears flowing.
