A/N: This is the climax, unfortunately. I think you'll all hate me when it's over. :( This isn't the last chapter, though! I'm going to apologize in advance haha. Enjoy...

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin & Ally, nor am I associated with Austin & Ally.
"No," Austin laughs, "I don't believe that you can do a cartwheel."
We're in his dorm, and he's sitting on his bed and I'm standing in front of him with my hands on my hips. "Why would you not believe I can do a cartwheel?!"
"Um, hello, you're Ally Dawson." He raises his eyebrow in a smirk, and I cross my arms.
"I can." I huff.
"Let's see it then."
"Uhhh..." I laugh nervously, "There's not enough room in here."
He grins. "Just admit it, Alls. You can't do it."
I sigh, letting my arms flop to my sides. "Fine. I can't do a cartwheel."
He smiles and leans up to grab my hand and pull me onto the bed beside him. "It's okay, I still love you." He says, and I giggle, laying my head on his chest and listening to his heart beat, a sound I'm sure I'll never get tired of hearing. I'll never get tired of his laugh, or his blue eyes, or the way he smells, or the way his hair falls perfectly. I'll never get tired of him.
"I could do this forever." He sighs happily, as if he's reading my mind.
"Do what forever?" I ask curiously.
"This... Laying around, being hopelessly in love." He grins. "Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I'd never met you, Ally... It kind of makes me sick to think about. I would probably be dead."
I smile. "I kind of doubt that, but okay."
He shakes his head. "No, really, Ally. The partying probably would have killed me eventually."
I sigh. "The important thing is that you're who you are now. Everything is in the past."
I think I hear him swallow hard as he says, "Yeah. In the past." He pulls me closer into his chest and I put my arm around his torso, pulling his tee shirt up a bit so that I can see his tattoos... Something I never thought I'd be into, but I don't think I'd be into them if they were on anyone but Austin. "Let's get married." He says for the second time since we've been together. I tilt my head up and look at him.
"We will." I tell him, as if it's that simple. Well, I guess it kind of is that simple, but marriage is a big deal, even though I don't plan on ever being with anyone else.
"Soon?" He asks with a smile.
"When I graduate college." I promise.
He frowns and whines, "That's a long time!"
I laugh. "Not really. We need to focus on college for now."
"Just think though," He says, "we could buy an apartment and live together and get out of these stupid dorms. We could sleep together every night, and cook together, and maybe even make music together or something." He pauses and smirks. "Plus, we could have sex whenever we want."
"We don't have to be married to live together." I point out.
"So is that a yes?" He says with a hopeful grin.
"We'll see." I tell him, even though I really do like the idea. He makes it sound fantastic, even though I know there will be bills to pay and everything that's not so fantastic.
"I can't wait for forever." He sighs happily, and I giggle.
"Listen to us, sounding like a cliché movie." I grin.
"I love cliché movies." He leans down and kisses me slowly on the lips, and I smile into the kiss. I've gotta admit, I love cliché movies, too... I didn't used to, but I definitely do now.
We lay in silence for a few minutes, watching Austin's television that's on some show that I've never seen before but that Austin finds hilarious. I feel my eyes beginning to get heavy, and I'm blinking back sleep in no time. My eyes are closed when Austin says, "No way, you're not falling asleep." He laughs and his hands come in contact with my stomach, where he begins tickling. I gasp for air.
"Stop!" I screech, laughing.
"Promise you won't fall asleep?" He giggles as I continue to laugh. I like the way our laughs sound together.
"Yes!" I gasp, tears beginning to form at the corners of my eyes, "I promise!"
He finally stops and I breathe for air, and he kisses my temple. "I love you." He says, and I can't help but giggle.
"I love you, too." Our eyes meet, and he leans forward to kiss me. I jump as there's a knock on the door. He groans and hops up, shooting me a wink as he crosses the room. I smirk at him. This guy is indescribable. He opens the door, and the next few seconds happen faster than anything else in my life.
The guy on the other side of the door pulls out a gun.
He puts it to Austin's chest without hesitation.
And he pulls the trigger.
Bang.
A/N: DON'T HATE ME PLEASE I'M BEGGING. There's one more chapter left, and I already have it written, I've had it written since the beginning. I'm going to set a goal to get the final chapter posted. 15 reviews, but I still love favorites and follows. :) So get to reviewing, lovelies... Just try not to make them mean, please! xx
