Chapter 3: Shame On You
Nearly a month has past by and Austin and I were starting to become the best of friends. Every weekend, we would hang around my father music store writing songs upstairs in the wreak room. Yeah, Austin and I were getting along just swell. We made a prefect team. I have to admit, I think I like Austin a little more than I expected.
"Ally! Ally! Ally!" Austin yells.
"Huh?" I reply coming back into reality.
He chuckles, "Are you okay because you're starting to freak me out?"
"I'm fine." I say yawning. "Just a little tired. How long did we stay up for?"
Austin smiles, "We've been up since 11pm last night writing songs."
"Are you serious and we didn't get any sleep?"
"Oh course we did. We had a two hour nap. By the way, you sound really cute when you snore." He chuckles again.
"I do not snore!" I shout turning red.
"Yes you do. But don't worry about it. We all snore when we're really tired. Yours just happens to sound adorable."
"Austin, stop saying things like that your making me blush."
"I know. I just like egging you on." He says with a smirk. Austin gets up from his seat grabbing for his jacket.
"Where are you going?" I ask him.
"I want pancakes. Come on let's go get breakfast. My treat."
"You don't have to pay for me if you don't want to."
"Ally, I insist. Please don't argue about food."
"Well…if you insist." I say grabbing my sweater then leaving out the wreak room.
"There goes your boyfriend." Austin says talking about Dallas.
"He is not my boyfriend. Dallas and I are just friends." I tell him.
"Could've fooled me. Look! Your boyfriends waving to you." He says nodding over at Dallas. I look over at Dallas and there he was sitting at the food court with his friends. He waves at me before eating his breakfast again. I quickly wave back walking inside the diner. "So when the big date?"
"There is no date Austin. Why is this so important to you?"
Austin shrugs, "It's not. Anyways, what would you like to eat Ally?"
"I want a southern omelet."
"One southern omelet and your famous buttermilk smiley face pancakes please." He says talking to the waitress.
"Anything for my favorite costumer." She replies walking away.
"Wow, people must really like you here." I say.
"I do come here a lot." Austin smiles.
God I love his smile. I melt every time I think about it. What am I supposed to do about Austin? I'm really starting to like him to the point when I get really nervous and start nibbling on my hair. Then I again, I couldn't date him. He's Darcy older brother and I never couldn't do that to her. She and I became very close in the past couple of weeks.
"Austin Moon, it's been a long time." A girl speaks standing in front of our table.
"Cassidy." Austin says standing up. "What are you doing here? When did you get back?"
"I came back a couple of days ago." Cassidy replies.
"Well I guess this calls for a welcome back hug." Austin says giving her a hug.
I was startled. Who is this girl? She was pretty with dirty blond hair and blue eyes. Now I'm completely jealous of this girl and I don't even know her.
"Oh Austin, you don't know how much I missed you." Cassidy says pulling away from him.
"I missed you too Cassidy." Austin says. "Oh, how rude of me. Cassidy this is my friend and song writing partner Ally Dawson. Ally this is my ex-girlfriend Cassidy."
"It's nice to meet you Ally." She says shaking my hand.
"It's nice to meet you too." I reply trying to put on my best smile.
"Great, foods here." Austin says.
"I made it just how you like it Austin." The waitress says. "You guys enjoy." She tells us before leaving.
"Well I'll see you later Austin. Call me tonight okay." Cassidy says.
"Definitely." He replies looking at her walk away.
I clear my throat trying to get his attention.
"Oh sorry about that. Let's eat." He says stuffing pancakes in his mouth.
I'm screwed.
"Darcy, what do you know about Cassidy?"
"Wrong move Ally." Trish speaks.
"Cassidy? What about her?" Darcy replies.
"She was at the Melody Diner today and Austin kind of…"
"Let me guess. He forgot you were there getting lost in Cassidy eyes right?"
"Yes, that exactly what I'm trying to say." I reply.
"You want to know something about "little miss prefect"?" Darcy quotes with a serious expression on her face.
"I guess."
"She's a manipulative bitch who only cares about herself."
"What did she do?" I ask.
"She the reason why Austin and I aren't close anymore. Austin when out with her over year ago and everyone thought she was so cool but me."
"I even fell for her charm when we were working at the Melody diner together. The more I got to know her the more she became a bitch. She even got me fired from my job."
"Trish you did that to yourself." Darcy says. "Anyways Ally. Cassidy and I would argue all the time about Austin. Then when I told Austin about is fake ass girlfriend he chooses her over me and our relationship was never the same afterwards."
"Where did she go all this time?" I ask.
"On tour with her band. The same band Austin was in before she sold him out. My brother was dying to go on tour with her. He wouldn't stop talking about it. Then she broke up with him a couple of days before leaving. She told him there was no room for him in band anymore. Breaking his heart into little pieces. Come to find out, she was dating the lead singing of Code plan."
"That's really mess up." I tell her.
"Yeah it really is." Trish nodded.
"For 7 months after she left Austin stop singing and he got worst. I can't really tell you what happen. I just think it's best if he told you himself. All I could tell you is that Austin became better and he changed his life around in the past 5 months. Well at least that's what I thought."
I stared at her trying to put all the pieces together. What happen to Austin when Cassidy left? Why did she come back? What secret is he hiding? Should I be worried? All these thoughts ran thought my mind. What am I going to do about him?
"How do I look for my date tonight?" Darcy asks.
"You're going on a date? With who?" I reply.
"She going on a date freckled face Dez." Trish answers.
"How and when?" I ask.
Darcy explains, "Earlier this week. He finally got the clue that I liked him. It took him 5 years but it was worth the wait."
"You seriously need help because your taste in man is just off." Trish says.
"You wasn't saying that when I was dating Dallas."
"Because he is hot and so is his best friend. Maybe it's time for me to take matter into my own hands and asks Trent out."
"Why not, it's 2014 everybody doing it." I tell her.
"Trish if you ask him out then you'll look like a fool. Trent is a complete jackass if you ask me."
"I hardly know him except for the fact that Dallas talks about him a lot. I mean like a lot, a lot." I say.
"Hey, how about this. You go on a date with Dallas and I'll go on a date with Trent. We could double date together."
"I don't know about this Trish. Double dates don't always go too well."
"It will be fine. Don't worry, I got this." She says with a smile.
"You're crazy Trish" Darcy says flat out. "I have to go, wish me luck." She says leaving us in her bedroom.
The next day we were all at the food court waiting for Austin to arrive. I haven't heard from him since we left the Melody Diner yesterday morning. It wasn't like him and I'm starting to wonder why.
"Where's Austin? We've been waiting for him for almost an hour." Trish complains.
"That's funny. I waited for you longer than that." Darcy smirks.
"Don't mess with me today Darcy." Trish says.
"Why? Because you're Pmsing?" Dez asks playing around.
"Darcy! Get your boyfriend before I smack him from here to Canada." She says.
Darcy laughs, "Relax Trish. It was only a joke."
"Does it look like I'm joking?" Trish says putting on a serious face.
Darcy rolls her eyes, "You are seriously being a buzz kill right now."
Dez whispers in Darcy ear, "I think she needs to get laid."
"That's it!" Trish yells chasing after Dez.
"Darcy! Put your dog on a leash will you!" Dez yells running around the table.
"Would you two please relax and sit down!" Darcy shouts.
"Do they always act like this?" I ask.
"Always." Darcy replies narrowing her eyes at me.
"Guy's I'm here!" Austin announces. He was hold onto Cassidy hand getting everyone attention including mine.
"Holy shit! You're shitting me right?!" Darcy asks.
"Darcy please just listen." Austin says. "Cassidy and I are back together. People make mistakes and we move on from it."
"Like hell!" Darcy shout looking over at Cassidy. "You will never be a part of this family. You may have my brother wrap around your figure but you don't fool me."
"Sorry you feel that way about me Darcy. I love your brother and he loves me. Nothing going to ever change that. Not even you." Cassidy explains with a smile on her face.
"Trish hold me back before I hurt this bitch." Darcy says.
"Darcy why can't you accept this?" Austin asks.
"Fuck you Austin." She replies.
"Come on Darcy. Let's go for a walk. I'll even buy you your favorite ice cream Sunday." Dez says pulling Darcy away. "I'll call you later Austin."
"Alright Dez." Austin says.
"Congratulation Austin. Now if you excuse me, I have to go find my future hubby." Trish says about to leave. "Are you coming Ally?"
"Just a minute." I reply looking over at Austin and Cassidy. "Well Austin."
"Please don't tell me you too Ally?" Austin asks.
"No of course not. I hardly know Cassidy. I'm happy for you if you're happy Austin." Liar…..
Austin smiles, "Thanks Ally, it means a lot to me."
"Yes Ally, this means a lot to him." Cassidy repeats putting on a fake smile.
This Bitch! "Any who, gotta go." I say walking away with a weird expression on my face.
Trish and I walked around the broad walk doing nothing. This day turned out to be really dull. "Darcy was right about Cassidy." I tell Trish.
"Darcy usually is right about a lot of things. It's like she has magical powers or something. I could never figure it out." Trish explains.
"I told Austin I was happy for him and he was surprise about my answer, then here comes Cassidy repeating what Austin said as a smart remark. I was very offended by it. That girl has some serious issues."
"There goes Trent and Dallas." Trish says in excitement. "Hey guys! Over here!" she waves.
I'm starting to think Trish wasn't listening to anything I said.
"Hey Ally and Trish." Dallas greets hitting Trent by the elbow.
"What up ladies." Trent says.
"Nothing much. Ally and I were just taking a walk around the broad walk." Trish explains.
"Cool, do you guys want to hang out with us?" Dallas asks looking at me.
"Sure, we will love too." Trish answers for me.
Dallas chuckles, "I think I was talking to Ally."
"Sure, why not." I reply.
"Great." Dallas smiles.
Dallas and I were now sitting on the beach while Trish and Trent were playing by the shore.
"Do you think he like Trish?" I ask Dallas.
"I don't know, maybe. Trent could be weird like that. You never know what he thinking." Dallas replies.
"Oh okay."
"Ally, I've been meeting to ask you this a month now. Will you go out on a date with me?"
Think Ally think! "Sure, I love too."
"Awesome, I really like you a lot Ally. You're beautiful, smart and all the above."
"Thank you Dallas."
"It took me over a month to say that to you."
I have to admit, I like Dallas but I like Austin even more. Maybe if I start getting to know Dallas I could get over my crush on Austin. Who am I kidding, I'm overwhelmed with all these feeling and I don't know what to do anymore. What Austin did today "shocked" all of us. Especially me.
"I like you too Dallas." I reply laying down on his chest. I didn't want him to see me cry. I never been that person to show my emotions and I won't start now.
"Are you ready for me to take you home?" he ask me.
"Yeah, let's go." I reply wiping my tears away.
He took me home that night. I laid in my bed thinking about Austin. It felt like somebody stab me through the heart. Why am I feeling this way? It's not like Austin and I ever when out. God, why did my mother make me move to Miami? I was fine before I met him and I should be fine now. I need to stay focus on getting into a performance arts school. Boys should be the furthest thing from my mind.
A/N: I had to add Cassidy into the story. Even though she was in one episode, for some reason I thought she had this mean side to her. Anyways, thanks for the reviews, I'm glad this story is getting more viewers. It really means a lot to me. Please continue to review and let me know what you think. I will be back early next week with a new chapter. Ta-ta.
