Yo... Whadup? What has happened to all my wonderful readers? Did you guys die? Is it because I begged for reviews or something? What did I do? Last chapter, I got 2 reviews... 2. Chapter before that, I got 3. But, the one before that... I had 8. What happened? Did I start to annoy you? I just... It's not that I want the numbers to come up, I just want to know if you loved it. What your opinion on it was. Were the last two chapters terrible? I need to know what my readers think... I feel kinda sad...
Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally. But, I do own Addison, Amber, Ashton, and Lindsey. :)
Ally's POV
I felt something touch my cheek as I started to open my eyes. I looked over and smiled at my husband. "Good morning."
"Happy anniversary, Als!" He said, kissing my cheek again.
I sighed. Wow, 15 years. Although the road was bumpy along the way, it was all worth it. "Happy anniversary, babe." I gasped, having a sudden shock. It's Addison's birthday, too.
"What?"
"Addison."
Austin smiled, laughing slightly.
"What?"
"Als, remember? She spent the night with Lindsey."
I snapped my fingers. "Oh, right."
He laughed as he took my hand and pulled me up.
"What are you doing?!"
"Get ready. We're going out."
I sighed. "Ugh. Where?"
"Out." He answered as he left our bedroom.
I huffed, crossing my arms. "Fine." I muttered to myself. I got out of bed, took a quick 10 - ok, 30 - minute shower, got dressed, and then put my hair in a side braid. "Ready!" I yelled, walking down the stairs.
Austin took my hand and kissed it. "Beautiful."
I blushed. "Well, let's go."
"Hold on..." He shoved his hand in his pocket and pulled out a bandanna.
"Austin... Not again." I whined as he put it around my eyes.
I heard him snicker. "Just trust me."
I shrugged as I let him pull me along.
After about 7 minutes, we finally made it... Wherever he wanted to take me.
He untied the blindfold. I looked around, emotionless. "The food court? This is where we're going for our 15th anniversary?"
"Wait for iiiiiiiiiit." Austin pulled a string, revealing a table for two. Black tablecloth, a candle, and steamed lobster.
"Well, I'd prefer the beach, but this'll do." I snickered.
He smiled as he pulled a chair back for me to sit.
We talked, we ate, we laughed. It was such an enjoyable meal.
"Hehe. I'll be back. I need to go to the restroom." I got up and went to the bathroom that was next to Mini's.
I got out about 2 minutes later and found something that made my jaw drop. "Austin?!" I yelled.
His lips unhooked from Piper's as he turned his head. "Ally, I-"
"-Don't bother. I'm outta here." I grabbed my purse and stormed towards the house.
"Ally, wait!" I heard from behind, which caused me to walk faster.
"I can't believe you, Austin!" I yelled as I slammed the door open. Unfortunately, he was right behind me the entire time.
He followed my motions. "Ally, if you would just let me expla-"
"- No, Austin. I'm done hearing your stupid excuses! This has happened too many times for me to-"
My rant was interrupted by the 14 year old birthday girl. How and when did she get home? "-Sssshhhh! Can you guys keep it down? I'm trying to study!"
We kinda just ignored her. "All those excuses were true!" Austin defended.
"Oh, bull crap!" By that time, I think Addison had run up to her room.
"Ally, Piper came on to me!"
"Oh, I've heard that before." I waved him off.
"Would you just let me-"
"-No! Now, you listen to me. This has happened three other times! Just because Dallas and Piper are divorced now, DOES NOT mean you can kiss her whenever you wa-"
"-Ally, that is SO not what happened!"
I crossed my arms and huffed. "Austin. I don't think I can take this much longer."
"What do you mean?"
I shook my head. "I'm done."
His shoulders dropped. "Don't say it."
I nodded as I started to walk upstairs. "Pack your things." I ran up to try and hide my tears. I opened a door, thinking it was mine, but it was Addi's. I heard sobbing. I walked over and put my hand on her back. "Hey."
"Go away, mom."
"Listen, I know this is hard, but-"
"But what, mom? What? I'm tired of hearing you guys fight all the time!"
"It'll stop soon." I said under my breath. But, I guess she heard it.
"Excuse me? You and... dad aren't getting a di-"
I nodded, closing my eyes slightly.
Her eyes widened as she threw herself on her bed. "NO!"
I rubbed her back. "It'll be ok, Addi."
"Don't say that! I know it won't! I saw what Lindsey went through when her parents got a divorce!" She buried her face in her pillow.
I sighed. "Addison, it won't be like tha-"
"-Yes it will." We shared a look as a moment of silence fell. "I don't even understand you two."
"Well, sometimes people grow apar-"
"-Oh, don't give me that crap, mom! You and dad..." She sighed. "You and dad have a love that is timeless."
I scoffed. "Oh, honey. Please don't quote songs we wrote 20 years ago."
"But it's true!" She yelled, standing up. "I have never seen two people love each other so much. Well, up until the last 2 years... You guys have given me the best childhood just from your love. Why are you ruining the rest of mine and Amber and Ashton's childhood?"
I rolled my eyes. "Addison, you guys are teenagers now. We are not ruining your chi-"
"-You can defend yourself all you want. But, you know it's true." She started to walk out. I reached for her shoulder, but she shook it off. "Don't touch me!"
As Austin was packing the last of his things, I made Addison's favorite dinner. After all, she does deserve something good on her birthday.
I went upstairs and opened her door. "Addison, dinner's re-" I gasped as I walked in and read a little post-it note. "Austin!"
He came running. "What?"
I handed him the note that our daughter wrote, starting to cry.
It read:
Dear mom and dad, if you're reading, it means that I'm gone. Gone where? Not death. But, wishing I was dead. I don't think you guys understand what you've put me, Amber, and Ashton through. I don't know about them, but, I do know about me. I know that I'm done listening to your fighting, and going through this divorce. I will not be apart of that. I'm with Lindsey. She and I have gone somewhere where we can start fresh. Forget about the parents who broke our hearts. I know we're only 14, but we'll grow. Goodbye, guys. I hope you have a wonderful life without each other.
I sat up, sweating and gasping for breath, feeling tears form in my eyes. I turned my head to both sides and quickly flipped on the lamp next to me. I looked over and saw my husband sleeping as peacefully as possible.
It was a dream. It was all a dream. The kiss, the fighting, the note. All of it.
I shook his arm. "Austin." I whispered. "Austin!"
"Hm? What?" He asked, turning around and squinting. I started to cry, unable to say anything. He knew exactly what I was saying, though. "Bad dream?" I nodded as he wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head. "Wanna talk about it?"
"It was our 15th anniversary. You woke me up and told me to get ready because you were taking me somewhere. We got to the food court a-"
"-Hold up, hold up. I took you to the food court on our 15th anniversary?"
I nodded.
"Well, it already sounds like a nightmare."
I laughed slightly. He always knew how to cheer me up. "Well, we got to the food court and had our lunch. I went to the bathroom and when I came out, I saw you kissing Piper."
His eyes widened. "But, Piper and Dallas are-"
"-Divorced in my dream. Apparently it happened before. So, we fought. In front of Addison, too. It got so bad that..." I started to choke up. "That..."
"That what?"
"That I told you to pack your things. I wanted a divorce." I paused, still trying to gather my thoughts. "Then, Addison and I fought. She was completely against it. In fact, she quoted Timeless. Anyway, later I went up to tell her that dinner was ready. But, she wasn't there. She had left a note." I gulped.
"What did the note say?" Austin asked, still hugging me.
"She ran away. She and Lindsey ran away." I started to burst into tears as I buried my face in his chest.
He stroked my arm. "Shshshsh. It was just a dream, Als. None of that will ever happen. One, because I broke up with Piper. I would never want to get back with her. And you know what the second reason is?" He asked as he moved his position to look at me.
I shook my head.
"Because we are timeless."
I smiled. "This love will never fade."
"Ever." He continued as he brought me into another warm hug. He is the perfect husband. Scratch that. He's my perfect best friend.
Ok, I'm not begging for reviews. But, I would love to know what you guys thought. Be active. For me? I love you guys so much. You have no idea.
