ALLY'S POV:

Ringing blast into my ears, as i woke up the next morning, to the sunlight from the window shining bright on my face. I groaned in annoyance and blocked the sun from my eyes with my hand, whilst trying to force myself out of bed. Trish had cheered me up very well last night, by giving me fruity mint swirl ice-cream while we watched Brides Maids and chatted all night. It was now midday, and i was extremely tired because of Trish. But it was for a good reason, so i'm not mad at her. Besides, i had nothing to do today. I would have normally just hung out with Austin but since we broke i guess i couldn't. Sighing softly, i rose from my bed, slamming my hand down on my alarm clock to stop it from beeping and my body rose as i left my bed and slumped into the kitchen. I didn't even bother to notice that Trish was gone, because i was too tired to even care right now. I poured myself some juice and put on some toast in the toaster and stumbled into the chair that was infront of a table, and my head lolled to the side. My mind whirled in tiredness and i'm surprised i wasn't sober, because i was sure acting like it. It's not like i drunk last night or anyth- Wait. I did. Oh for god's sake, Ally! I grunted and leant back in my chair. We had a week left of summer vacation, and this had been the best and worst vacation i have ever had. My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door, and i sighed, standing up and slipping on my slippers. The knocking started again after a few seconds.

"Hold on!" I yelled, rolling my eyes and shuffling over to the door and opening it, rubbing my eyes with a groan.

"You alright?" A voice appeared from the door and i groaned, not looking up.

"Fine, great, never been better." I replied, looking up and seeing Trish right in my face. I screamed, jumping back and holding my hand over my heart in shock. "Trish, what the hell?" I groaned, slamming the door after Trish walked in and threw her bag on her bed. I slumped back into my seat and laid my head on the table.

"What? I went to go get fresh air. Problem, Alls?" She laughed and sat opposite me. I just muttered under my breath and slapped her arm playfully. "What's wrong?"

"I really miss Austin." I sighed, not making eye contact.

"Then why did you break up with him?"

"I don't know!" I lifted my head. "It just blurted out, and i was angry. I don't even know why." I muttered, getting up to get the toast out from the toaster, putting it on the plate quickly as it started burning my fingers.

"Then just go talk to him." She replied, stealing a piece of toast from me and biting into it. I glared at her and she just shrugged, digging in and i rolled my eyes at my best friend.

"I'm still angry, though. He blamed me for everything that happened. Me!" I scowled to myself and roughly applied nutella to my slice of toast and grunted in annoyance.

"Well, i'd say go talk it out." She just shrugged and went away to put on her sandals. I sighed and thought about it for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright. I'll talk to him at the beach." I agreed, placing down the knife back in the nutella jar.


After an hour of getting ready and curling my hair perfectly, i grabbed my pink bag, putting it over my shoulder and walking out of the door. I heard nothing from Austin and Dez's room, so just walked past and down the stairs, and got a glance from Dallas in disgust and i just ignored him, trying so hard not to break down and i walked out the double doors and headed for the beach. It was only about ten minute walk, so it wasn't a pain to walk on my own, and i smiled at everyone i walk past. It's just a habit. I have a feeling when i walk past someone i feel the need to seem extremely nice to them even though i have no clue who they are, and a random smile appears on my lips out of nowhere. I sighed and just rolled my eyes, focused on the ground infront of me instead of the people around me. After the walk, i got to the beach and it was already packed since i woke up late. I made my way to the ice-cream parlour and i put my bag down, sitting in one of the chairs and getting out my diary, beginning to write in it.

Dear Diary,

It's Ally here, and yesterday me and Austin broke up. We had a huge fight over literally nothing, and now we aren't talking. I really miss him though, and the way we hug, the way he holds my hand, the way he loves me. I just miss him. Anyway, i'm sat at the ice-cream parlour on my own, and i'm super bored. Trish is god knows where, and that's the only other person i have. I really need to make some friends here for the week i have left. I have to go now book,

Love Ally xxx

I put my book back down in my bag and sighed, melting into the chair and closing my eyes for some peace and quiet finally. Trish had been using her hair dryer all morning after breakfast and it gave me a headache.

"Hey, Ally." Well that peace won't be lasting any longer. I turned my head and saw Austin standing there.

"Austin, what are you doing here?" I stood up to face him. He smiled down at me, looking extremely calm.

"I want to talk." He replied, placing himself down on the other seat around the table i had. I frowned and sat down, looking at him and tilting my head, motioning for him to continue. "Oh, right." He laughed and i smiled. "Look, i'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything like that. I know you're angry; you have every single right to be. So i was thinking, maybe we can be friends?" He asked, and i went to say something but he carried on. "But i need a favour." I tilted my head and he took my hand in his. "Can you be my partner again?" His voice was hardly a whisper. My eyes widened and i stuttered for words. Was he serious?

"You're…serious?" I asked and he nodded slowly, rubbing my hand and i squeezed his hand back. Sure, i was angry, but that doesn't mean i'm turning down that offer.

"I mean it more than anything." He kissed my hand and i pulled away, tutting.

"Okay, we're partners. But if we're gonna be partners and just friends, no lovey dovey stuff. Alright?" I said and smiled. I still really really liked him, so i guess this was friends with benefits.

"Okay, deal." We shook hands and Austin stood smiling goofily.

"You dork." I laughed and slapped his arm, and he pouted at me.

"Miss Allyson Dawson." He growled and chased after me. I squealed and ran away laughing.


Rock on :)
