To say all didn't take it well was putting it nicely. She cried for what felt like hours and hit him continuously. In the end she was Ally and she agreed that he can't continue to say they were together as long as they never had to see each other again.
He sighed with relief. She truly was a saint and he constantly was wishing they met on different circumstances. He left and she called Trish over. She explained everything to her and Trish wanted his address so she could go rip his head off his body for hurting her best friend.
They were watching a Freddy Krueger marathon and eating ice cream. Fruity mint swirl of course. "I can't believe you agreed to let him tell that she which that you and him were still dating." Trish exclaimed jumping around her love seat. "It's okay Trish he was having problems and this way it's only for a few more weeks as then we can fake break up." Ally explained to her friend for the third time.
"I know but..." Ally couldn't hear it any more, all she wanted to do was out this past her a move on. As Trish continued giving her thoughts she zoned out thinking of how Gavin was using her but is Cassidy using Austin? That's all she thought about for the rest of their movie morning.
Trish left around three. Ally picked up after both her and Trish but her mind was running with thoughts of her conversation with Gavin. She did the one thing she knew she could clear her mind.
She grabbed her keys and her book and headed to the beach. The one place she hates but the waves crashing.

"Hey Jake." Austin said walking into Jake's room who was playing superhero. "Hey dad." Jake said not looking at his dad, as he made different noises.
"So since I've hung with Cassidy I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out just me and you. We can go to the movies or, go get ice cream, maybe even the beach?!"
His action figures were forgotten and he was jumping up and down excited to have quality time with his dad.
"Yeah let's go to the beach and get ice cream." Jake went through his drawers and pulled out his swim trunks and floaters.
"Hurry dad go get ready." Jake shouted going to his closet getting out his shovel and pale.
Austin went and got his things and they but it in a bag and they were off roof top and down music blasting. "Look dad I see a whale." Jake said pulling on Austin's t-shirt, pointing out to the water.
"I know, but I can't look now I'm driving." He said keeping his eyes on the road. They continued singing along to the radio until the parked.
Austin paid the parking meter and then they were off. The Port Hanú is such a small beach that not many people know about. Austin's father brought him here and now he brings Jake.
The set up their umbrella and towels, putting on sunblock and floaters before running to the crystal blue water. The went as far as Jake's feet could touch the ground, which wasn't so far but Austin enjoyed being with his son.
They were swimming around until they got into a water fight. "Okay, okay. You win." Austin gave up. "How about we build a sand castle before we leave?" Austin suggested. He was having so much fun that he didn't notice the sun was slowly going down.
"Race you!" Jake said even though he was already half way there. "That's cheating." Austin said sounding like a little kid himself. The two boys were adding a moat to their castle. Austin had sent Jake to go get water and when he came back there were two shadows covering him one bigger than the other.
"Hey dad look who I found walking along the water." Austin turned around to find Jake and Ally staring down at him with big smiles. "Hi." Ally waved awkwardly. Austin stood up and cleaned off his hands. Jake looked between the two adults and his smile got bigger.
"Hey its good to see you." Austin said going in for a hug. Austin felt things that he didn't know how to explain them, but all he knew is that he got these in the beginning with Cassidy, but since he found out he might have feelings for Ally.
Ally didn't want a hug because all those feelings she felt and some what got over were going to hit her like a tidal wave and they did. Ally was the one to pull away first. They stood there awkwardly until Jake broke it.
"Come on Ally build a sand castle with us." Jake said pulling her down. She set her leather book with a big red an on the front next to her as she grabbed a shovel and helped finish the moat.
Austin playfully threw sand on Ally's lap and she looked at him shocked. He gave her an innocent look that he didn't know what she was talking about.
The were stepping back and admiring their work when they heard a voice. Ally's body visibly stiffened when she heard this voice. Jake's happy smile turned into a frown nad Austin greeted them with a hug and kiss.
"Hey everyone I didn't know we were all hanging at the beach today." Cassidy didn't try being discreet about the dirty look she was sending Ally.
"Actually it was only supposed to be a father and son day, then we ran into Ally and I guess it turned into a father, son and Ally day." Austin shrugged giving his tell that he was nervous.
"Oh how nice." Cassidy faked kindness.
Ally saw Austin's nervousness and spoke up.
"Well this was fun but I should get going. The sun's going down and I promised Gavin I'd call him." Ally smiled and went for her book. She gave Jake a hug and told him she would see him tomorrow.
"Yeah you do that. Bye Ally." Cassidy said waving at Ally as she walked away not turning back.
"Well I'm going to go get ice cream. Cassidy can you watch Jake real quick?" Cassidy nodded her head and kissed Austins cheek.
When Austin was far enough jake started yelling at Cassidy.
"Look what you did we were having a nice day with us and Ally and not you." Jake seethed. Around his dad he may act like he somewhat liked her but when it was just the two which was rare he didn't hold back how much he hated her.
"Don't worry honey when me and your dad get married you won't have to see Ally's face again." She said smiling, she turned around and saw Austin paying for the ice cream. "What do you mean my dad would never marry a witch like you." Jake laughed in her face. Cassidy was now mad.
"Listen you little brat. Your dad likes me. He wants me and you well, we'll see you on holidays because were sending you to boarding school, so your dad will spend all his time and money on me." She finished with a smug smile on her face her index pointing at herself.
The two were staying at each other until someone behind them cleared their throat. Jake had a smile on his face when he saw his dad with a not so happy expression.
"Here Jake take your ice cream and go sit over there in the sand." Austin handed him his ice cream jake wanted to protest but the look and his dads face scared him.
"Hey Austy." She was back to her cheery self.
"What was that?" He got straight to the point.
"What was what?" She was playing dumb.
"Don't play dumb with me. You knew before we started dating that Jake comes along with me and from what I heard you don't understand that. If I had to choose between you and him. I choose him." He shouted.
"Fine Your not worth it any ways. I'll just have Gavin do something else for me." She said without thinking, as the words replayed in her head she froze.
"What do you mean? What does Gavin have to do with any of this?" He was mad he wanted to punch Gavin if he's done anything to hurt Ally.
"Gavin was supposed to date Ally because she likes you and I just wanted you to myself." She said getting frustrated with herself.
Austin was stunned everyone knew that Ally liked him before he did. Was it really that obvious.
"Wait, wait. Your telling me that Gavin is only using Ally as a favor to you?"
"Pretty much." She said checking out her nails.
"Were through. Jake let's go!" Austin went to go get Jake and just left Cassidy there.
"Your not worth the trouble anyway." She shouted getting in the last word.
After they were both in the car and buckled up they set off to Ally's house.
It dawned on him that he had no clue where Ally lived. He used the Bluetooth in his car to call Dez and ask him where she lived.
He put in the address and head to Ally's house. He knew it was her house when he saw her Impala parked out front. So he knew he had the right house.
Him and Jake got off the car and as they were walking up the drive way they heard Rocky barking from the window.
The knocked on the door three times and waited patiently listening to Rocky scratch the door and bark.
"Rocky hush." They heard her on the other side of the door. The door swung open and the most beautiful girl he's ever seen was standing there.
Ally was in baggy grey sweats, a sky blue Spider-Man t-shirt, her hair was in a messy bun and reading glasses.
"Austin?" He was admiring her and her being dressed like this made him want to grab her face and kiss her until they needed air.
'What's wrong with you?' He asked himself. He literally just got out of a relationship and now here he is thinking about making out with Ally while his kid was right there.
"Austin?" He was startled when he saw her hand waving in front of his face.
"Um, yea I was wondering if we could come in and talk." She looked back at her house then at him and stepped aside letting them both in.
"Hey Jake why don't you go play with Rocky while me and your dad talk." Ally said ushering the two to Cher small living where she was already putting up Christmas decorations.
"Okay." He said cheerfully. Walking along side Rocky to the living room.
"Come on in here, I just made some hot chocolate." She said smiling. She went in her light brown cupboards and pulled out a Santa and Snowman mug. Pouring hot chocolate in both.
He smiled admiring her decor. She had a theme of red and silver going on and he liked all her little decorations. Like the mistletoe hanging above the hall way and the Christmas towels and mittens.
"Marshmallows." She asked opening her ornament cookie jar. That was filled with different sized marshmallows.
"Yea I'd love some." He was putting a few in his mug.
"So what'd you come her for. Not that I don't like having you here but...yeah." She trailed off.
"Right so I don't know how your going to take this but umm... Gavin's using you." He said like ripping off a band-aid. He looked everywhere but at her.
"Excuse me?"
"Cassidy and I were talking and she was telling Jake how he was going to boarding school and she told me she knew you liked me, so she had Gavin date you so you wouldn't try something on me or something." He slowly looked up at her to see her face was calm.
"I know." She took a sip of her drink and looked everywhere thinking if she needed to add more decorations.
"What do you mean you know?"
"I mean Gavin told me the reason he's dating me. It was this morning actually when he told me and I called Trish over then I couldn't stop my thoughts so I went to the beach and ran into you guys." She was acting like it was no big deal.
Usually Ally would be crying watching bad rom coms and eating a giant bucket of fruity mint swirl. She was invested in the relationship, but for some reason she got over it.
"So are you still dating him?" He asked shyly. He didn't know what was wrong with him. It's like all these feeling for Ally just came rushing to him and he kept looking at her like he was looking at her for the first time.
"Technically yes." He looked at her like she grew a second head.
"He told me what happened and that Cassidy has something hanging over his head and he had to do it and he's sorry. I told him that I couldn't date him, but I told him that he could tell Cassidy that were still dating but were not." She sighed.
"Does that make any sense?" She asked timidly. Austin was still in the middle of processing the thing. Ally had to be one of the sweetest girls ever to have some jerk say she was with him.
"Yea that makes sense. Sort of." He said scratching the top of his head.
"Anyways, you and Cassidy still together?" She said speaking again after a minute of silence.
"No, no, no! After what she did I broke it off." He said to Ally. He was hoping she still liked him. Could she not like him within a few days.
'You did tell her you didn't like her like that.'
'Shut up I know what I said.' Austin couldn't believe that he was fighting with himself.
"That's good." She said with a small smile as she walked to the living room with Jake.
'Does that mean she still likes me?' She stopped in her tracks. Did he just say that out loud?!
"Umm I'm not really looking for anyone for maybe a while." She said shyly and practically ran to the living room with Jake.
He face palmed and chanted 'stupid' before slowly entering the living room with Ally and Jake.
A/n: Okay a lot has happened tell me if it seems rushed or what you liked and didn't like. Review! Port Hanú is a beach that I made up it doesn't exist.
