A/N: Hello, lovelies! I miss being able to write on this story every day, but now I have so much going on it's basically impossible. :( You get to see a LOT of Austin's thoughts in this chapter, it's short but sweet and I think you will enjoy it. :)

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin & Ally, nor am I associated with Austin & Ally.
I excitedly hop up from my dorm bed as I hear a knock on the door. It must be Ally, here for our date. I've gotten the place all tidied up, even Dez's side. He may piss himself when he sees the huge pile of junk that I gathered and threw into his closet when he gets home from his parents' house tomorrow. I open the door, and my smile drops as I'm faced with the smirk and blood-shot eyes of Dallas.
"Sup, Man?" He asks, pushing past me, walking towards my bed.
"Uhh..." I say awkwardly, still holding the door open. "You should go... Now's not a good time. I'm expecting company."
He snorts, sitting down anyway. "She must be pretty important if you cleaned up all your shit for her." His eyes travel back to me. "And you're wearing frat boy clothes again. What the hell, man? You haven't been to a party in a while, I never see you anymore, and Cassidy is practically throwing herself at other guys because you aren't around to satisfy her anymore."
Anger boils inside of me. What did it matter to him? I shut the door, knowing he's not going anywhere until I give him an explanation. "Listen, Dallas. I've changed, for the better. I don't want to get drunk and hook up with girls repeatedly, especially not Cassidy."
"Dude, Cass is so hot, what is wrong with you?"
I shake my head. "I know, I used to think so too. When you find the right person, it all changes, though."
His eyes widen and he stands up. "What's wrong with you, I mean seriously, cut the crap! It's always been you and I against this school. I'm a senior now, I'll be gone next year, and you refusing to let loose and live a little is not helping me enjoy my remaining time here! This isn't you, the real Austin Moon does not dress like a prick, he does not clean his dorm room, he does not miss out on a good party, and he sure as hell does not tie himself down to one girl!"
"Obviously, you don't know the real Austin Moon, then!" I shout at him, and right about that time, I hear a light knock on the door. Both of our heads turn, and I shoot Dallas a glare before crossing the room and opening the door once more. Ally smiles at me, then frowns when she sees Dallas behind me.
"Was I interrupting something...?" She says, and I shake my head.
"No," Dallas says, "actually I was just leaving." He nearly shoves Ally as he pushes past her and out the door. I can almost feel the hatred radiating off of him. I shut the door and turn to Ally, her eyes are huge.
"Who was that?" She nearly whispers.
"Dallas..." I murmur, "He's... Er, was part of my crew that I partied with."
Her face falls. "Oh."
I cup her face with my hands and she looks into my eyes. "You don't have to worry about him or any of the others, though, Ally. I'm yours, alright? No one else's. My party days are over, I prefer these days, anyways."
She smiles and stands on her toes to kiss me on the nose. She wraps her small arms around my waist and leans into me, and I enjoy the feeling she sends through me.
"I'm glad you feel that way," She says, "because I don't want to lose you."
I smile and playfully push her back onto my bed and crawl so that I'm hovering over her, propped up by the elbows. She giggles, and I take a second to admire her flawless features. It's as if every time I see her, she gets more and more beautiful, if that's even possible. I can't imagine myself without her by my side, and that both excites and scares me.
It's weird. One day, you're going along, doing your own thing. You think you've got everything planned out. And then you meet this person, and everything is about them from then on out. What makes them happy, not what makes you happy... Because when they're happy, you're happy. It's not just you anymore, it's you and them. The right person is the one you wouldn't expect, and they show up at the most unexpected time. All your plans come crashing down, and you wouldn't have it any other way.
I realized, in this moment, and I looked into Ally's brown eyes and felt her heart beat in time with mine, that I love her. I not only love her, I love the way she smiles, I love the way she laughs, I love the way she looks perfect without even trying, I love the way she looks at me, I love the way she walks, I love the way she gets chill bumps when I touch her... I love every single thing she does, I admire her even at her lowest, and I haven't even known her that long. It's hard to put into words exactly how much this girl means to me.
