Chapter:4
"Ally is your mom waiting for you at the airport" austin says packing his stuff back into his backpack.
"Um...no" ally say
"Then were did your dad expect you to go" austin says in shock
"He told me once i get to Africa i have to find my mom"
"Wait so you don't even know were your mom lives" austin tells ally while getting of the plane.
"No"
"Does she know your here". Austin says with sympathy
"No my mom and dad don't talk that much...i'm assuming that my dad was just skipping to a conclusion"
Austin laughs "So we are on vacation".
"NO...Austin i'm on punishment your going home...you can tell your parents that you got kicked out of music school".
Austin stands still he's not going to leave ally in Africa alone.
"NO..Im going to help you find your mom first".
austin grabs ally's hand and they get on a safari bus with no windows.
"OK PASSENGERS WE ARE GOING TO DRIVE THOUGH A DESERT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF ON THE OTHER SIDE ARE THE MOST CIVILIZED PARTS OF AFRICA".
Austin and ally stand by one of the windows through the desert they see lots of lion who for a little while follow the bus.
"Austin in one of my moms letters she said she was in the jungle...with monkeys or something i don't know which jungle she is in though".
"Can you call her or ask around for were she might be".
"Um...all try when we get to the city".
Austin and ally sit down on the seat with his arm around her looking at the pamphlet they first got when they boarded the bus.
"So austin what do you want to do about my mom...i mean we can't tell her what happened".
"What ever you want to do ally".
"Ok...because I know she'll be really mad at my dad if she finds out that he stuck me on a plane to Africa with out an adult or anyone to help me".
"I just can't believe he sent you to a foreign country with no one".
"Ya but he's...he's not that responsible...thats why i don't want my mom to know my dad sent me here alone or she might try to keep me here with her forever".
"No then we cant tell her we can say...we can say that we came for vacation".
"NO i'm going to say i got send here to see her your going home".
Austin laughs "I think its a little to late to do that ally". In the distance they can see buildings starting to make form. "ALL PASSENGERS MAY EXIT THE BUS".
"No austin you stay on the bus so you can go home". Ally says blocking austin from getting off the bus
Austin moves Ally out of the way and hugs her
"But i said that i would help you find your mom".
Austin and Ally go to a wifi service ally face times her mom on her iPad and they get on the next bus to the jungle. They board the bus and it is almost two in the afternoon when they get there. Ally jumps of the bus to go hug her mom. "Mom iv'e missed you so much and this is my boyfriend austin". When ally's mom meets austin they instantly hit it off. Ally goes inside to call her dad
"Hello dad"! ally says with an attitude
"Hey ally how are you".
"Not good i cant believe you left me stranded in Africa why didn't you tell mom i was coming".
"Um...you know me and your mother don't talk anymore so what makes you think i want to talk to that bat now".
"Well dad you still aren't responsible for leaving me in another country all alone"
"i knew you would find your way stop over reacting".
"I'm not you just cant be that careless"
"Im not you've always been such a problem the thing with you and austin...I think you were the problem when me and your mom go the divorce always crying...".
Ally hangs the phone up she is in denial that that person she was talking to was her dad the person she has counted on the only thing she wants is for her mom to come back home to Miami. They go further into her moms house her and Austin's room are upstairs and side by side. Austin comes into ally's room
"So what were you and your dad talking about".
"Just the fact that he left me here with no adult". Austin goes to rap his arms around ally. "Ally whats really going on...you don't seem the same...your just acting upset".
"I just can't stand my dad at this point i don't even what to go home to see him...he just isn't the best parent".
"What do you mean his all right isn't he".
"No he said i'm the reason him and my mom got a divorce...i don't believe him but it still frustrates me that he would say that and send me to Africa to find my mom on my own".
"Its going to be okay ally...were together right and now we don't even have to sneak around to see each other".
"Yeah i just don't understand how are parents found out".
"Me too the only people we told were trish and dez".
Austin and ally both stand up
"Well my best friend didn't tell dez is not like that"
"Trish was acting kind of strange she said it was a bad idea and some other things that i can't remember"
"But it couldn't have been trish" austin says
"Ya she wouldn't do that...not to us...unless she was jealous".ally says
"Only one way to find out". Ally calls trish from her moms phone her mom is not at home so her mom wouldn't over hear their conversation. Austin has his ear pressed up against the side of the phone listening to their conversation.
"Hey trish whats up" ally says trying not to sound suspicious
"Nothing...um...ally are you mad that you had to go to Africa".
"Yes it wasn't fair for my parents to do that...I'm just wondering how they found out".
"Ummmmm...mmmmm Ya i do wonder.."
"Ya the only people me and austin told where you and dez...sooo".
"OK...OK...I TOLD I COULDN'T WATCH YOU AND AUSTIN AS A COUPLE ANYMORE...I .WANT A BOYFRIEND TOO ALLY ITS NOT THE ALLY AND AUSTIN SHOW".
Austin is mad he can't believe how bad of a friend trish is to ally.
"Trish you were suppose to be my best friend how could you do this to me".
Trish hangs up the phone. Ally sits with the phone still up to her ear waiting thinking it is just a bad signal but it turns out trish hung up on her.
"WHAT HAPPENED ALLY DID SHE HANG UP"!
"Ya...shes just mad she'll come around".
"NO LET ME CALL HER BACK"!
"NO AUSTIN IF SHE SEES THE SAME NUMBER FOR US BOTH SHE'LL KNOW THAT YOUR IN AFRICA AND THEN YOUR PARENTS CAN COME AND GET YOU"!
Austin goes to ally's room were they were before.
"Ally its not fair that you have to have such a bad friend".
"Ya i just can't understand why she did it".
"Here" austin says "Let's go have some fun".
Ally's mom doesn't come back until later so austin and ally go out side to explore the jungle.
"Ok austin we don't have to go far...we can just go a little in".
Ally puts on foot into the jungle
"Their we explored now lets go back". Ally starts walking away but austin grabs her arm and pulls her into the jungle.
"Ally their is no reason to be afraid".
"Wwwwwhhhhaaaatttt im not afraid i just thought you were scared and didn't what to freak you out". Ally says pointing to austin trying to sound nonchalant
"Sure ally what ever you say".austin says walk through the jungle for a little while pushing branches out of their way. Austin starts to go across a pond taking his shoes off so they don't get wet.
"Austin no we shouldn't...i mean its pretty deep". Austin laughs
"It doesn't even reach my knees".
"Ya but what if it gets deeper at the other side your taller that me and I'm not getting my clothes wet". Ally says trying to make up excuses not to get in she doesn't want to see what is at the other side if the pond.
"Ok i'll carry you then". Austin opens his arms waiting for ally
"Um...no wouldn't want your arms to break". ally says half laughing
Austin reach over and picks up ally as he walks throw the pond it does get a little deeper but not as deep as ally thought it would be.
On the other side their are more trees but past them is a big lake surrounded by trees with a small water fall on the other side the sun shines perfectly over they lake this afternoon.
"WOW" they both say at the same time
"Are you glad that you came now ally". Ally smiles sarcastically at austin.
"Yes austin i am but what do we do now".
"Go swimming".
Austin takes off his shirt and jumps into the water.
"Come on ally" Austin says reaching his hand out.
"Its only about 5 ft deep".
"Yes standing water for you but not me".
"Please ally don't make me swim by myself" Austin says trying to sound sad.
Ally sits down on the side of the lake and puts her feet in the water
"In ally...all the way in".
"Im good here". Austin swims back up to ally and starts pulling on her legs
"Come on ally its just water". Ally starts laughing as she falls into the water.
"AUSTIN". Ally says as she watches Austin swim away.
Austin is all the way in the middle of the lake were ally is standing it is about 3 feet deep but she can tell that it gets deeper because the water in the middle is at Austin's shoulders. Ally swims over to the middle ally is not as god of a swimmer as final makes it over to the middle as she approaches austin starts to clap.
"Wow austin she says splashing water at him".
"What " austin says laughing while blocking the water.
"You were mocking me...the way I swim".
Austin starts laughing and reaches over and hugs/lifts ally since she is to short for the water.
The sun is starting to set.
"Come on ally we have to go before it is dark".
Austin and ally find there way back to ally's moms house but her mom is still not home
Austin decides to get out of his wet clothes just as ally is walking upstairs the phone rings ally walks over to answer it.
"Hello" ally says
"Ally it's me your dad"
Ally has the urge to hang up the phone but decides to stay on the line.
"What the heck is wrong with you ally...why did you hang up on me earlier...I've been calling for the past two hours were the heck have you been".
Her dad is talking to her in a very cold tone.
Ally starts to get tears in her eyes she just can't believe this is her dad...she can't talk to anyone about her situation not her old best friend or her mom.
"ALLY I KNOW YOU HERE ME".
Austin walks down stair to see ally by the phone he can tell that there is something wrong but just as ally turns to look at him she gives him the shh him know she is on the phone with either her dad or trish.
"ALLY I DIDNT SEND YOU TO AFRICA TO IGNORE ME" lester shouts
Ally cant take this she doesn't want her dad yelling at her for no reason...in a way ally fells horrified to go back to sonic boom.
"Dad why are you yelling at me".
Austin can her ally talking and walks over to the phone to listen
"WHAT THE...I AM YELLING AT SOMEONE WHO DESERVES TO BE YELLED AT...YOU DISRESPECTED ME AFTER I TOLD YOU NOT TO SEE AUSTIN ANYMORE".
"Yes and thats not fair just because you can't be nice to austins parents and they don't like you means i cant see them".
"YES".
"Dad none of this is my fault".
"THATS IT IM COMING TO AFRICA TO GET YOU".
"NO THATS NOT FAIR...". ally looks at austin in pain.
"I...LOVE IT HERE AND YOU CANT JUST TAKE ME AWAY FROM MY MOM"
Lester hangs up the phone ally goes toast down on the couch with her hands over her face.
"Ally...you don't have a choice you need to tell your mom" Austin says holding ally
"No austin...she might get angry or send me back to my dad and im really scared of him now".
"Maybe your mom can help you... and ally your dad can't hurt you...if you want I'll stay here with you we can spend the whole summer in Africa if you want to".
"No austin I don't want to ruin your summer to ".
"No ally I came here because I wanted to be with you...and if I don't like Africa that's my fault not yours I choose to get on that plane...and my summer would be terrible without you".
Ally hugs austin she can't believe that the person she likes/loves this much has the same exact feeling for her.
"Ally I think you need some help". Austin blurts out randomly he sounds concerned and ally doesn't understand why he said it.
"What why do you just say that".
"Because if your mom doesn't come home with you you'll have to live with your dad...and I just don't think that that's good for you right now".
"Austin I'll be fine". Ally says trying not to sound unsure.
"No you won't ally ever time something is bothering you or your scared you never tell me".
"Really so you think I'm covering up, I've never done that". Ally screams
"Yes you have on the plane you didn't say you were scared you just sat in the corner and cried and in the forest you lied about being scared and the first time your dad said what he said you weren't even going to tell me".
"Ya austin because I don't want you felling sorry for me and...and doing this I don't know how to pay you back for what you've done already".
"Ally you don't have to...I did all of those thing because I care about you ally and that's what people who care for one another do".
"So why can't i do anything for you".
"You can start telling me what's wrong so I don't have to think if your ok 24/7".
Ally sits down on the sofa to take in everything austin has said. She didn't know she was hurting austin this much.
"Austin...I'm..." Ally starts to say
"It's ok ally" he says while hugging ally.
