Austin's View

I burst into laughter.

"Oh come on Hannah! You can't be serious! You made it so obvious last night!" I say was we walk out of Music.

"I did not!" She says with her defensive voice, I give her the look.

"Don't worry, it wasn't just you, he made it obvious to," I say knowing that's partly why she wouldn't admit it.

"Wait," she stopped in her tracks, grabbing my arm holding me back.

"What?" I ask confused.

"You said he made is obvious to."

"Yeah?"

"You think he still likes me?" I slam my hand into my face.

"Please tell me you're kidding?" She stays silent. "Really? Hannah it's obvious!"

"Well I didn't notice," we began to walk again, "I'm not good at reading boys. And he is extremely difficult."

"No he isn't. Hannah, he is the most open about his feelings towards you as he can get without outright telling you he likes you."

"Then why doesn't he just tell me?"

"Because that would be putting himself out there, he doesn't know if you like him back."

"You said I was making it obvious," we sit down at a table, our groups table, though everyone else is normally ten minutes late.

"Yeah, to everyone else. He can't see it. Remember how you all saw that Ally and I liked each other?" She nods, "we didn't see it, we each thought it was one sided. It's the same with you two."

She sighs, "but what if we got together again and then the long distance doesn't work? What if Ben and Bailey are the only lucky couple that make a long distance relationship work?" I feel tears build in my eyes. "Austin? Are you okay?"

I look into her eyes, the only people that know are Ally and Dez, I need to tell someone else, I need someone else to talk to. "I can trust you right?"

"Yeah? What's wrong? I know something has been up with you lately."

"I'm moving." I say, barely above a whisper.

"What? You're moving? Where to? Does Ally know? Oh my gosh Austin, why does no one know? You have to tell people these things! That's why you said we could get to know each other before the end of summer isn't it? What were your plans Austin? Drive away? Not tell anyone you were going? Hoping they wouldn't realise?"

"HANNAH!"

"Sorry, sorry. Not what you want to hear."

"To New York. Yes. Because I didn't want to ruin camp. Yes. I didn't have plans." I say trying to remember the questions.

"I'm so sorry Austin." I nod. I didn't want to talk about it, she knew that, it could wait until another time.

"Hey guys!" Ally said walking up with Ben, "hey babe," she says to me, giving me a quick kiss. I try to take the non-fallen tears back before she notices them.

We haven't talked about it. We can't. If we do we'll be forced to deal with it. Talking about the whole long distance thing that Tong and Hannah couldn't do. Talking about what would be best for us, ending what we have now, letting each other go, or, trying to hold on to what we have and not let the distance come between us.

I want what is best for Ally. I don't know what that is. I love her, but someone else might to. I will always support her, but so might someone else. Truth is, I don't want to put her though the pain and difficulties of a long distance relationship. I just don't know which would hurt her more. Us breaking up, or, arguing about the distance, never seeing each other, slowly the amount of talking dying down, wondering if you are truly still in a relationship or simply clinging on to the past, to what once was.

But will we talk about it all? Will I say all that to her? No, because we are teenagers, we're still dumb enough to think that if we ignore the problem it will just disappear. But it won't. This is reality. The reality is at the end of summer I'll be moving to New York. I won't be seeing Ally every day. And I won't have the courage to come back to camp next year, to see Ally again after the relationship hits rock bottom and ends. When I move to New York, all this will be over. I'd like to say that in a few years it will be just a pleasant memory to look back on. A high school, teenager, romance. But it isn't just that.

She's the love of my life.

I have to set her free. It will hurt her more if I don't. It will hurt me more.

"I was thinking-" Dez says joining us at the table.

"Oh dear," Ally lays her head on my shoulder.

He glares at Ally, "we should go camping again tomorrow." We all moan.

"Come on Dez, really?" I complain.

"Austin, last time we went camping you and Ally got together, and it two days it happens to be a year ago."

I smile at the thought. I've been with Ally for an entire year.

I take a deep breath, I can't pretend everything is fine.

"Ally. We should talk." Everyone else stays silent, but by the look in her eyes she knew what about. We get up and walk to sit by the lake, where we first met, the view as beautiful as ever.

After sitting in silence for a few moments, neither of us knowing how to start, I speak up; "I can't pretend any more Ally, I'm moving, there's nothing I can do to stop it, it isn't just going to sort its self out."

"Well what are we meant to do Austin? The long distance thing, it could work, it did for Ben and Bailey." She says, as if she was trying to convince herself, not me.

We've all noticed a difference with Ben and Bailey. Yes, they are still together. But they are more distant than ever. They'll be hugging and seem as if they are on the same page, as if they are is their own world, together. But they aren't. By the look in their eyes they are in two separate worlds.

"Tony and Hannah didn't." I say lowering my head.

"You're only seeing the negative."

"And you're only seeing the positive."

"I'm seeing the hope."

"No, you're ignoring the bad that could happen, hoping that if you don't acknowledge it, it won't happen. Life isn't a fairy tale Ally."

"I know, but I thought we were."

"What do you want me to say? What do you want me to do?" A tear rolls down my cheek, just like hers. "Do you want me to build you a castle? Take you there? Do you want me to build our own world? Where nothing else matters? Where there is no such thing as distance? Where we could be miles apart but still be as close as possible? Because I can't Ally. It isn't possible. And I'm not being negative, I'm being realistic. Me in New York, you in Miami, we are going to grow further and further apart, until there is nothing left of our relationship. Where we will just be saying we're together because we feel we have to. It's going to hurt us both."

"So you think us breaking up right now won't hurt me? It will Austin. It may not hurt you but it will hurt me."

"You'll be able to move on."

"Don't tell me what I'll be able to do! Move on to what Austin? You are the one for me! The only one that will put up with my personality, that will laugh a long with me at everything that I find amazingly funny but you don't. You're the love of my life Austin! Why are you giving up so easy?!" She stands up her voice raising.

I stand up next to her.

"I'm not giving up! Giving up would have been not coming to the camp, going to New York earlier so we could have a clean split. So you had the summer with everyone else, so you could move on if you wanted to!"

"Well it seems to me that you're giving up. You aren't even willing to try a long distance relationship!"

"Because it will hurt you!"

"But so will breaking up!"

We stand in silence. Tears streaming down both our faces, silent tears.

We had to have this argument. It was going to happen at some point.

"I'm not willing to give up on us Austin," she grabs my hands and looks into my eyes, "I will never give up on what we have. Never."

I look down at our hands, I have blurred vision from the tears and yet one thing is clear as ever. Our hands fit together perfectly. We fit each other, perfectly.

"I won't either." I whisper looking back at her.

We lend in for kiss. Emotions all over place, but I forget where we are, we are in our own world.

Our world.

The world where only we exist. The world full of castles. The world where nothing else matters. The world where we could be miles apart, but still closer than ever. The world where fairy tales come true.

We pull apart.

"You have to tell them Austin," her voice still weak from all the emotions we just used.

"I know, I'll do it, now."

"Now? You sure?" I start walking us back to the group where everyone now is.

"If I don't do it now, I'll never be able to."

We sit down, Ally holding my hand under the table, waiting for the perfect time to tell them.

"I'm moving to New York," I blurt out. There's no such thing as the perfect time.

Silence. Shock across all of their faces, apart from Dez, Ally and Hannah.

Sorrow builds across theirs.

"You're what!" Trish says shocked looking between Ally and I, as if hoping I were joking.

"You can't," Ben says.

"W-why?" Bailey asks.

"But-just-no, Austin you can't move," Tony states.

"You won't be coming to camp next year. You'll never get a place if you live in New York."

"I'm sorry." I get up.

With faint sounds of my name being called out I walk away from the group, to one of my favourite spots at camp. Where Ally and I first kissed.

A/N- I am aware that people don't like it when Austin and Ally argue. But it was more a venting of feelings, they are still together!
