Accepting Chapter 4

Almost

Ally's POV

Following Day

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Was the first thing I heard when I woke up the next day. I didn't get any sleep at all. I had a massive headache and all that was on my mind was Austin. And the almost kiss. And me practically running off not even two minutes after. I had decided to get for school and as I thought about everything.

I never felt so awful in my life. But I was scared. Scared of what might happen to us. Both me and Austin. At this rate someone is bound to find out what happened and Austin is done for.

And I have to admit it. I really wanted to kiss him. Just something about him was so... Werid. I mean. I don't like him. I don't have feelings for him. Do I?

No. No. No. Ally. You can not have feelings for him. He's the jerk of Marino High and you know it. He will probably lead you into his trap and bam! Your whole high school life is in the dust.

But... I... I... I... Um... Ugh! I don't know! During the car ride he was so sweet and was willing to open to me a little which is so weird. But it didn't matter. He was able to talk to me without me getting pushed against his car and seeing an Angry Austin. I honestly thought I was gonna raped or something...

Okay. That's a bit of a stretch. But I didn't know what would happen. But I just... Never felt so comfortable with Austin. I mean sure. I never really talked to him but I always thought I would be one of those poor kids that would be scared out of their skin whenever Austin would be in sight.

But he was different with me. Like there's times where he's the one scared to go near me. It was so weird and I was the only one who seem noticed it.

Did I ever do something to him that made not wanna come near me until yesterday? I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything to him since I never really talked to him. All he did was look at me.

Then I think to the almost kiss. It was probably all in the heat of the moment. Why on Earth would Austin Moon ever want to kiss sad, little pathetic Ally Dawson? I'm not special. All I'm known for is being smart. So why would I ever matter to him? I never talked to him, I never really bothered with him.

So why would he ever kiss me? Let alone go after me? I'll never know why.

I continued to think about as I ate breakfast and going outside to go to school. I continued to think.

I mean sure he seems to look at me a lot. But once I glare at him, he sighs and turns away. Maybe it's the looks I give him. Maybe it's because I've been mean to him without realizing it.

I stopped thinking for a moment when I realized there wasn't a car in sight.

What's taking Trish so long? I thought after ten minutes of waiting.

Then it hits me. The fight that led to me slamming the car door in her face and me out in the rain. And falling into mud. And then meeting Austin.

I looked over at his house and questioned if I should even consider getting a ride from him. Because after what happened yesterday, I don't want it to happen. Again.

Then I realized he was my only hope to get to school. So I sighed and trudged over the lawn and to his front door. Taking a deep breath, I knocked.

I waited for about a minute before the yellow door opened. There stood before me, a half naked, tired and dare I say it, hot Austin Moon. Well. Somewhat half naked. He was wearing a robe with... Really really long sleeves... Weird.

"Ally?" He asked bewildered. Snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Hey. Look, I need a ride to school since my ride didn't show up." I said getting straight to the point.

"Um... Okay..." He said, letting me inside.

I stepped inside the home and quickly realized how similar it looked compared to mine. Expect for the obvious like furniture or the color of the wall. But it was a nice home.

Then I realized how he was the only one here.

"Where's your parents?" I asked.

"They leave for work early." He mumbled darkly.

"Okay?" I said confused.

"Yeah. Let me get dressed and we can get going."

20 minutes later

"Ready to go?" He asked once he came downstairs.

"I've been ready for the past twenty minutes! What took you so long?!" I shouted.

"You can't wake up with hair like this." He said pointing to his hair.

I rolled my eyes at his stupidness and his over inflated ego. "C'mon I don't wanna be late."

Once we started driving, it was once again, a silent ride.

"You're quiet today." He mumbled.

"I don't want what happened yesterday to happen again." I accidentally slip out.

"Oh..." He said with disappointment in his voice.

I widen my eyes at the thought of him thinking the wrong idea. "No No! I didn't mean it like that!" I said trying to cover my first answer.

"No. I understand. Why you would ever wanna to speak or let alone kiss me anyway?" He grumbled.

Afterwards, it was a thick silence again. And honestly, I hated it. So so much. I would do anything to make it stop.

Throughout the ride my eyes shifted from his face to my lap. Just wondering how to make not awkward again.

But it was hopeless once we got to school. Because once he parked, we stayed inside. Neither of us moving a single muscle. Not. One. Muscle.

I couldn't take the silence anymore. It was too much for me. If he wasn't going speak, then so be it. I don't have anything to say to him anyways.

But just when I was about to get out of the car, the unspeakable happened.

He grabbed my hand out of the blue and spun me back into the car and into his lap. Before I had a chance to say anything, he captured my lips in a soft, sweet and passionate kiss. And dare I did it...

I kissed back. And damn that was the best decision ever. As the kiss grew more passionate, he slipped his tongue inside my mouth. But it was then when I realized I was doing. I was making out with the school jerk. And the more I realized that, the more I needed to get out and away from him as soon as possible.

I pulled back and saw his red face, a gleam of love in his eyes and probably the biggest smile I have ever seen in him. Maybe I'm the girl he really loves... No. I can't let him win. He's trying to lead me into a trap. Oh man. Maybe Trish was right. He's probably using me!

With that, I bolted out of the car, running as far from him as possible. While I was running, I couldn't help but look back at him.

He stared at the window for a moment before putting his head on the steering wheel and looked like he was about to cry. I almost turned around to go back to him.

Almost.

A/N: THEY KISSED HOLY MOLY! KLJGDFKJGPODUFSHGIDFSGIVWFNBPIOAYOEUTYEPOIGJVKJRGTIOJRRKUGRSIJVGIDSGHIRH. Okay. I'm done. GSKTHGIDJFLJBHK. Okay. NOW I'm done. Lol. But even though they kissed, Ally can't tolerate the fact he's still a jerk. Some what. Just cause you see one person's POV, doesn't mean you know what's happening in the others. So. Read in between the lines my friends. There's more to both of them then what you know. God. I sound creepy. And sorry fo the late update, I got lazy lol.
