Okay, so I really want to thank all of you guys for your wonderful and lovely reviews! :') I seriously teared up just reading them because I thought y'all would hate me, but I should have known better. I want to give a big shout out to Ross Lova 911. I did get your reviews :) Thanks!(: Here's the next chapter!(:

A&A

Austin was still frozen in place, stuck between crying and screaming, or staying silent and doing nothing. Ally was the first to speak after that. She stood up and walked toward Austin slowly opening her arms. Austin ran into her awaiting arms and hugged her as tightly as possible.

"Don't worry, Austin," she whispered, "we'll figure something out. You won't leave as long as you don't want to, okay?" Ally reassured. She was trying to make Austin feel better, but it only made him feel worse.

He hated to think that he would have to leave this place and go back to Boston. The place itself wasn't bad, but it was he that was bad in Boston. He had people to keep him grounded here. He had Grandma Ruth and of course, Ally. He didn't want to leave them already.

He had also made many great friends like Dez, Dustin, and Trish. Sure, he and Trish had started off bad, but they were really great friends now, and he couldn't just leave them like that. He wouldn't just leave them like that.

Right now, holding Ally in his arms, he felt confident that he would stand up to his father and tell him everything that had happened.

Yes, he would.

A&A

The three sat sadly at the counter with cups of water, all wondering what was going to happen when Mr. Moon arrived the next day. Would Austin be able to convince his father to let him stay?

"Is this really happening?" Austin asked hoarsely. He mixed the water in his cup and looked at it spun around. Ally looked up from her own cup and frowned. Grandma Ruth said nothing, looking back down to her hands.

"I'm sorry about this, honey. I wish this wasn't happening, but it is, and all we can do is get it over with. Okay?" Austin sighed and nodded, not really having much enthusiasm to do anything else.

Ally, who had stayed quiet, stood up and started pacing. She was thinking, and Austin and Grandma Ruth knew this. They watched patiently as she worked plans out in her head.

After about 3 full minutes of pacing and thinking, Ally had a great plan. She smiled as she looked from Austin to Grandma Ruth.

"How about we just show your dad that you've really changed? I know that's what you want to avoid because he'll want to take you back, I really do know. But what if we just show him that you are just fine here? He'll see that this place has changed you, and it would be better if you stayed. It's a long shot, but it's worth taking. What do you say?" she suggested, now talking to mainly Austin.

He looked at Grandma Ruth smiling and nodding. She agreed.

"Ally, you're right. I t-think it'll work. I'm willing to take that chance. Just anything to be able to stay. Anything," he said, getting quieter with each word. Ally smiled and grabbed his hand and Grandma Ruth's hand.

"Let's do this."

A&A

The next day was hectic as Austin, Ally, and Grandma Ruth cleaned up for the arrival of Austin's dad. Dez, Trish, and Dustin went over to Grandma Ruth's to be there with Austin when his father got there.

They were all currently talking and planning everything. They talked about what to say if they were questioned about Austin's behavior the most.

"Okay, so we all got it?" Trish asked as she stood up. They all nodded simultaneously and she smirked.

"Great. Now all we have to do is wait here," she said before sighing loudly. She was a very impatient person and waiting was definitely not her favorite thing in the world.

Everyone was silently panicking when the door bell rang. They jumped with wide eyes and quickly stood up. They nodded at one another before Grandma Ruth sighed and walked toward the hallway, leading to the front door.

Austin looked at Ally for reassurance, and she smiled, giving him all the reassurance in the world. He smiled back at her before smiling at Trish, Dez, and Dustin.

After 5 minutes of standing in the kitchen, Austin heard footsteps and saw Grandma Ruth walk in with his father. Mike smiled at his son before giving him a hug.

"Hey, son, nice to see you," he greeted. Austin smiled and hugged back.

"Nice to see you, too, Dad," he said remembering everything about manners. He looked back to his friends and smiled at them.

"Dad, these are my friends, Dez, Trish, Dustin, and Ally," he said as he smiled widely at Ally. She smiled back and shook Mike's hand.

"Nice to meet you," they all said while shaking his hand as well. Mike beamed proudly at the manners of each teenager and could only hope that Austin had learned from them. He had really wanted to take his son back home a new person.

"Actually, Ally's not my friend. She's my girlfriend," Austin said, grinning widely before grabbing her hand and pulling her closer to him. Mike's smile faded as he saw how close they seemed.

He looked to his mother Ruth and asked to speak with her in private. Austin saw this and followed them out toward the hallway. Whatever his father had to say, he could say it in front of him as well.

"Momma, what is that about? I sent him here to get an attitude adjustment, not a girlfriend. That's only going to make it harder for him to leave. How could you let this happen?" he whispered frustratingly.

Austin heard it and stepped up behind them. He shook his head at his father and put his arm around Grandma Ruth's shoulders.

"Don't blame her for anything. She's done absolutely nothing wrong here. She took care of me when you couldn't deal with me. She loved me when I was too much for you. If anything, you should be asking yourself that. How could you let this happen?" Austin huffed angrily.

"You were never too much for your mother and me, Austin. You just needed-" he was cut off by Austin.

"-An attitude adjustment. Yeah, I get it, but why couldn't you have done anything about it? That's right. I was too much trouble for you," Austin said loudly. By now, Ally, Trish, Dez, and Dustin had gathered around Grandma Ruth and Austin.

"Austin, did you not learn anything here? Is that how you're supposed to speak to me?" Mike said while pointing at himself in shock. He had though Austin would have changed by now.

"I have, Dad. I've learned so much here. More than I have in Boston for most of my life. It's amazing here. Grandma Ruth had been incredible, and I wish we had never stopped coming here because I missed out on so many great things. Things that I want to get back. Dad, I want to stay," he said finally.

Mike's eyes widened as Austin said this, and he immediately shook his head.

"No, absolutely not, Austin."

And BAM! That took a few minutes. :)
