The rest of the party was really boring. Dallas kept me by his side the whole time while he talked to his friends. I kept looking around for someone to save me but all I saw were drunken teenagers. At the end of the night I couldn't find Trish and Dallas somehow wondered off so I didn't have a ride. Really, the guy was with me all night and I didn't notice when he wonders off? I thought to myself as I turned the corner.

My house was about ten minutes by foot from the party. Normally I would enjoy the walk but walking by yourself at one in the morning was really creepy. I kept thinking I heard noises and footsteps. Seriously, I was edge. I could've sworn that someone whispered my name. That's enough scary movies for you Ally. I scolded myself. I started freaking out when a car turned the corner, maybe if I don't look at them they won't look at me? I silently prayed. My heart rate increases as the driver slowed down.

"You want a ride?" A voice called out from the car. The voice was strangely familiar, I looked up to see a mop of blonde hair and kind brown eyes.

"Actually yeah, that would be great." I shot him a small smile as he unlocked the door to his jeep. I quickly got and and relished in the warmth of the car, I didn't realize how cold I was.

"Where's your ride?" Austin asked curiously as I buckled my seatbelt.

"I couldn't find Trish, I think she left without me. Her car wasn't where she parked it." I said frowning slightly, my best friend practically ditched me at a party.

"And your boyfriend couldn't take you home?" Austin spoke with a tiny hint of disgust when he said boyfriend. I shot him a confused look but this eyes were glued on the road.

"I lost him at the end of the night," I said quickly before cutting to the chase. "Do you have something against Dallas?" I asked slightly annoyed.

Austin sighed before he answered. "We just have some bad blood between us," He answered and we were quiet for a minute before he spoke up again. "I don't think you should date him." Austin stated like it was nothing and I looked at him like he was crazy. I hardly know him, he can't tell me what to do!

"Excuse me? Why exactly shouldn't I date him? He's been nothing but sweet to me since I met him!" I asked defending my boyfriend.

"It's just that you don't know what he did." Austin said trying to keep his cool. I noticed his knuckles were white from his grip on the steering wheel and his jaw was clenched.

"What exactly did he do that makes you hate him so much!" I yelled. After a minute I raised my eyebrows and spoke again. "I'm waiting."

"I can't tell you; you won't believe me." Austin sighed and sounded a little defeated. I laughed at nothing and shook my head.

"You're unbelievable," I muttered at him, he pretended that he didn't hear me, but I know he did. After a minute I gave him directions to my house. Five minutes later we were at my home. "Bye." I mumbled sourly and slammed the door before I marched up to my house door then opened and closed it with just as much force. I stormed upstairs and made my way to my bedroom, I had to close my door quietly knowing that Justin and my dad were asleep. Needless to say, I went sleep super angry.


All weekend I was in a bad mood, I didn't want to be disturbed at all. I stayed in my room writing a bunch of mean songs about a certain blonde. I don't know why I care so much, I mean I hardly know Austin, I shouldn't care what he thinks. I convinced myself it was because he told me indirectly what to do. He never said I shouldn't date Dallas Flat out, but he might as well have. It gets me so frustrated when people tell me what to do, especially when I've talked them for like a week.

Trish and Dallas kept blowing up my phone. I couldn't take it anymore so I pressed the off button a little harder then necessary. Justin and dad were completely clueless to my mood change. Boys, what are you gonna do, their hopeless.


At school on Monday my mood didn't change, I hardly talked to Trish at all. She seemed to catch on to my bad mood, so she didn't press the subject except for once in homeroom.

"Are you mad at me? Because if you are it wasn't my fault, I told Dez that the kangaroo was a bad idea!" Trish explain and I gave her a confused look.

"No, it has nothing to do with you or Dez's kangaroo." I replied and she looked relieved.

"Good, because I hate it when you're mad at me. Girl, you can hold a grudge. Remember last time you were mad at me? I accidentally touched your book and you didn't talk to me for a week." Trish reminded me then the teacher came in and started to teach. A flop of blonde hair caught my eye and I glared at it. The teacher noticed and asked me to pay attention. I nodded, but my thoughts kept drifting off to that stupid blonde.


By lunch time my friends have learned not to talk to me today. I sat next to Trish in silence while a couple of our other friends chatted amongst themselves. I was surprised when someone tapped my shoulder because none of my friends came up to me all day. I turned and saw that blonde I was glaring at before. Austin had his hands in his pockets and looked at me shyly. His brown eyes looked so innocent and the way his hair flopped made him look adorable, wait I can't think that, I'm mad at him.

"Ally, can we talk?" He asked shyly. I would've said no but those stupid brown eyes got to me.

"Fine." I replied shortly. Austin looked a tad bit hopeful. He noticed the whole table looking at us and asked if we could talk in private. I nodded then followed him out of the cafeteria. Once we reached the hallway I looked at him expectingly. Austin looked down at his shoes and rubbed the back of his neck before reaching my eyes.

"I'm really sorry about friday night. It's just Dallas and I don't get along and I don't want him to hurt you. I was out of line. I hardly know you and I basically told you what to do. I felt really bad about it all weekend and I kept thinking about how to make it up to you, so I got you this." Austin pulled something out of his back pocket. It was a teeny tiny stuffed bear. It had big brown eyes that reminded me of Austin. There was a small square piece of paper attached by ribbon around the bear's neck. On the small square, 'I'm Sorry' was written in sloppy handwriting.

"Aww! He's adorable, thank you Austin!" I gave him a huge smile, the first smile since the party.

"Do you forgive me?" Austin asked looking hopeful. I nodded and he smiled in return. Before I knew it, two strong arms wrapped around me. I smiled again and wrapped my arms around him. My nose was filled with Austin's sent, it was masculine and spicy, it was so Austin. I couldn't help the butterflies that were going crazy in my stomach.
