A&A
It'd been 5 years since Austin and Ally began dating.
It'd been 3 years since Grandma Ruth passed away peacefully in her sleep.
It'd been very hard on everyone, especially Austin who had grown extremely close to Grandma Ruth in the years he spent living with her. In her will, her house, car, and most of what she owned was to be left in Austin's ownership.
Austin made sure to keep everything the way it was because he knew that Grandma Ruth would want it that way.
The night she passed away, he was in Boston visiting his parents. Ally called him, and he could tell she had been crying.
"Austin, s-something bad happened. You n-need to come home q-quickly." Austin screamed as she told him what had happened. He was so upset, frustrated, and alone. He could only imagine how Grandma Ruth must have felt when Grandpa passed away.
It was weeks before anyone could go back to their normal lives, and even then it was still hard to cope with everything.
No Grandma Ruth meant no more Teen Meetings.
It meant no more smart comments.
It meant that everyone would have to learn to be on their own. They no longer had a strong support system with her gone, but they worked together to keep things going.
Even now, 3 years later, things were still different without her around. They didn't get over Grandma Ruth being gone; they just learned to live with it. That's all they could do.
In her memory, Austin and Ally began their own teen meetings with teens who might have felt left out or unwanted. With their teen meetings, they helped teenagers be themselves around people exactly like them. That was Grandma Ruth's mission with each teen meeting.
As Grandma Ruth always did, Austin and Ally changed the table cloth each week or every time they had a teen meeting. Of course, they never chose it. The people going would. That's how Grandma Ruth would want it.
Austin and Ally had moved in together into Grandma Ruth's house a few months ago and things were going well so far, but Austin felt that there was something missing. He knew exactly what it was, and he was going to fix it.
He was going to propose.
"Hey, Austin, have you seen my phone?" Ally asked as she walked into their room. Austin looked at her and shook his head.
He'd been giving her the silent treatment for almost an entire day because she lied to him about where she was going earlier. She had said she going over to Trish's house, but instead he found out she went to the mall instead.
"Are you still not talking to me? Austin, I already told you I was sorry over a hundred times. I don't know what else to do anymore," she said as she sat on the bed next to him.
"Austin, we have to talk about this, but in order to do so you must speak to me," she said as she poked his side. He tried not to crack a smiled but failed terribly as he burst out laughing. This made Ally smiled widely, glad to finally get him to interact with her.
He stopped laughing and patted the spot right next to him, and she scooted over next to him. He hugged her tightly and sighed.
"I'm really sorry I lied to you, Austin. It's just that if I told you the reason I was going to the mall, you wouldn't have let me leave the house in the first place," she said quietly into his chest.
"Why did you go?" he asked as he hugged her tighter. Ally sat up and looked at him before standing up and walking toward the drawer.
She grabbed a small box from inside and sat back down next to him. She handed him the box and smiled.
"I know you told me not to get you anything for your birthday, but I couldn't resist," she explained shyly. Austin gave her a look and sighed.
"Ally.."
"Austin, I already bought it, so please just accept it and open it or you'll really hurt my feelings," she mentioned, knowing he couldn't deal with that.
Austin smiled at her and back at the little box. He slowly opened it and grinned as he saw what it was.
"You didn't," he said unbelievably.
"Oh, but I did," she replied before laughing lightly.
Austin looked back down at his gift and then back at Ally. She had gotten him an enlarged guitar pick signed by his favorite artist. (1)
"Ally, this is the best thing ever. Thank you," he whispered as he brought her in for a hug. She hugged back and was happy that he liked his gift.
"I would have taken you to meet him, but I didn't even know he was having a signing until I got there. Then I was going to call you, but you were working in the studio, and you had already taken many days off for me, so I thought that Jimmy would be mad or something," she explained while smiling at him.
"Well, thank you. This is definitely the best present ever," he said as he inspected the guitar pick.
Then he looked back at Ally who was looking at the guitar pick. He leaned in and kissed her. She kissed back and smiled as their lips moved perfectly together. They pulled away slowly and just stared at each other for a few minutes before Austin spoke up.
"I'm sorry for not talking to you all day, Alls. I was just upset because you lied to me. I thought the worst when Trish told me you never went to her house. I was extremely worried about you. I thought something bad had happened, Ally," he explained guiltily. Ally smiled comfortingly at him and snuggled up into his side.
"It's okay, Austin. I should have told you I was going to the mall instead of lying to you like that. I'm sorry, too," she said as she pecked his cheek quickly.
Austin stared and smiled at her. Ally looked at him and furrowed her eyebrows.
"What?" she asked as she blushed lightly.
Austin shook his head as he smiled to himself.
"Ally, I know this is kind of crazy, but.." he paused for a second as he stood up and looked through his drawer for something Grandma Ruth had given him before she passed away.
He found what he was looking for, put it in his pocket, walked over to Ally and smiled nervously. He held his hands out for her. She smiled up at him and took his hands. He lifted her up from the bed and helped her stand up.
"What is it, Austin?" she asked. He smiled, blushed, and took out the little red box from his pocket. He glanced at it, then at Ally, and smiled surely.
He slowly got down on one knee and opened the box.
Ally put a hand on her stomach and a hand over her mouth as tears formed in her eyes.
"Alls, we've been together for 5 years, 3 months, and 5 days. I've been keeping up ever since Grandma Ruth told me to a few months after we started dating. She said you liked a guy who always remember anniversaries, so I've kept up so I never forget. I know this isn't anything special," he paused and watched her reaction.
She just smiled and laughed lightly as she still held herself, trying not to cry.
"I know this isn't a fancy dinner, or a night under the stars proposal, but I couldn't wait any longer. I just love you so so much, and you have no idea how nervous I am r-right now. If this is too soon, I don't think I'll ever be able to do this again, so please, Ally..just p- Will you marry me?" he asked quickly and nervously.
Ally laughed loudly and began to cry all at once. She looked at his pleading face and nodded quickly.
"Yes. A thousand times yes, Austin," she said as she hugged him tightly. Austin sighed, relieved as he wiped some tears from his own eyes and slowly slid the ring on her finger. Ally smiled at the ring and kissed Austin softly.
"Have I ever told you how goofy you are?" she asked as she pulled away. Austin laughed and nodded.
"Plenty of times, baby. I love you," he whispered and he nuzzled his face into her neck. She laughed and held onto him tightly.
"I love you, too."
A&A
Their wedding day was probably the most hectic day in the history of hectic days ever. Ally's dress had not been fitted correctly and it was 2 sizes too big. Luckily, Trish was able to fix it that morning.
Austin's suit hadn't even come in, so he, along with Dez, had to be up early and go find a decent suit. He luckily found one and even got a discount after explaining to the cashier the situation. Dez even got himself a tie to match Austin's suit, since he was the best man.
As if that wasn't enough to deal with so early in the morning, Mike and Mimi's flight had been cancelled a few days ago because of the bad weather in Boston, making it impossible for them to make it to the wedding on time. It was really hard on Austin because he wouldn't have his parents or Grandma Ruth there.
Ally had told him that it was okay to change the wedding date for a day that his parents could be there, but he insisted on going along with it today.
A few days before the wedding, Austin and Ally had gotten into an argument over which flowers to order. Austin wanted yellow roses, and Ally wanted red ones. They hadn't been talking for a few days now. Trish and Dez were worried that they were going to call the wedding off because it was a pretty heated argument over some stupid roses.
"Okay, Ally, it is officially 10 hours before your wedding. Now, you are going to go into your own room and talk to Austin," Trish demanded once the dress was fitted correctly. Ally had already taken it off because she didn't want to have to wear it until a few hours before.
Ally groaned.
"But Trish. He's supposed to come in here and talk to me. It's always been like that," she said sadly, hoping he'd come in and apologize like he would always so.
"Well, Ally, you're about to get married later today, and things are going to change. You can't expect him to always apologize to you. Sometimes you'll have to be the bigger person and go to him. Now, get up and go. I want you guys to be on good terms for your wedding. I know you guys love each other a lot. Now go!" she said as she pushed Ally out of the room.
Ally smiled at Trish and nodded and she walked down to her and Austin's room.
She had been in Grandma Ruth's room with Trish while they fitted the dress.
She got to their room and knocked quietly. She knew that Dez had been in there earlier, but he had left about half an hour ago with Dustin to get the roses that were going to be used.
"Who?" she heard from the other side. It was Austin and he sounded irritated. She sighed and thought about turning around and going back into the room with Trish. However, she decided against it and straightened herself up.
"It's me. Ally," she said nervously. She heard some moving around, a crash, and then the door quickly opened revealing Austin. It looked as if he had scrambled up to open the door.
"Hi. Uhm.." Ally trailed off as she walked inside. Austin watched her closely and she sighed as she saw him.
"I came by to say that I am sorry about arguing over something as stupid as which color roses and flowers to get. And, since I know you wanted the yellow ones, we can have those," she said before smiling at him widely. Austin smiled slightly at her before smirking.
"It's too late," he whispered. Ally frowned.
"What?" she asked slowly.
"It's too late to get the yellow ones. I already sent Dez to get the red ones," he explained before smiling wider at her. Ally smiled back at him and reached out to hug him. He hugged her tightly and sniffed her sweet smell before pulling back and sitting down on the bed, patting the spot next to him for her.
"Can you believe that in less than 10 hours, we'll be married. You'll no longer be Ally Dawson. You'll be Ally Moon. I can finally call you my wife after 5 years 12 months and 15 days," he said as he wrapped his arm around her waist as she leaned into his side.
She laughed, still not sure how he was able to keep up with how long they'd been together. She had been keeping up, but only since the day he proposed.
"Austin, I know that I shouldn't question how much you love me..but how much do you love me?" she asked childishly. Austin laughed and kissed her cheek.
"Well," he started, whispering in her ear slowly, "let's just say that before you came along, I wasn't myself. I wasn't happy," he paused before smiling.
"And Grandma Ruth, when she came along, I met the loveliest girl in this universe. When Grandma Ruth came along, I met the love of my life, the girl I can't stop thinking about, the girl that I'll always love and always feel myself with. Ally, I met you," he said before kissing her.
A&A
*4 Years Later*
"Daddy?" 3 year old Ruth Moon called as she set her Barbie Doll down. Austin looked away from the pancakes he was making and smiled.
"Yes?" he asked as he turned back to the pancakes and flipped them.
"How was mommy lucky to find you?" she asked and waited for his response. His smile grew wider and he set the finished pancakes on a plate before turning the stove off and sitting down at the table with Ruth.
"Actually, I was lucky to find mommy. You see, I used to be a mean person. But then, Mom and Dad decided to send me to my Grandma Ruth's house in Miami until I straightened up," he paused when he saw her smile grow.
"Grandma Ruth has the same name as me!" she pointed out before giggling. Austin smiled and ruffled her brown, wavy hair.
"She sure does. I loved my Grandma Ruth so so much, and so did Ally. That's why we named you after her. It was thanks to Grandma Ruth that I met Ally. I think you're too young to understand, but I'll say this anyway. She meant a lot to both me and your mommy. She taught us as if we were her own children. I'll never forget when I first arrived in Miami and she was at the airport waiting for me. She yelled 'Austie' in front of everyone and embarrassed me on purpose," he said before laughing along with Ruth.
"She sounds like fun. Where is she now?" she asked while grabbing Austin's large hand in her tiny one.
He smiled and squeezed her hand gently.
"She died a few years back before me and mommy even got married. We were all really sad about it, but we learned to live with it. I know she would have loved you. Just like she loved me, Ally, and everyone who crossed her path," he said, trying not to cry.
"She Came Along and changed everything for everyone, Ruth. I think that's why we all love and adore her."
"Yeah, that's definitely it."
1. This is where your imagination comes into action. You get to decide who his favorite artist is. :) I guess the only thing is that it's a guy. :D
Oh gosh. I finished another story, you guys. I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to cry.
I. AM. NOT. GOING. TO. CRY.
Okay, phew, uhm, well I really hate to end this. I love writing, and I definitely loved writing this story. It's my favorite one I've written out of like the 3 or 4 that I've had. You all have been so supportive and patient because I know I am terrible at updating. I'm sorry that I didn't add a wedding scene, but I don't know anything about weddings because I don't think I've ever gone to one. Which is weird, but oh well. Sorry if it feels rushed, by the way.
SORRY FOR ANY MISTAKES.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: It has been brought to my attention that the user and author RubyMae16 has written a story with the 1st chapter almost identical to the first chapter of He Saved Her, She Saved Him. I have also been told that she is lying and saying that I stole her story. DO NOT BELIEVE HER. The dates of which each story was published do not support her statement. I published He Saved Her, She Saved Him in March and she published her story in June. If she happens to lie to you, please ignore her or tell me.
