Ello! Here's the final chapter! Lots of people reviewed thinking that the last chapter I posted was the final one. I'm pretty sure I mentioned it before, I'm making this story into a three-shot. So here it is! ENJOY!
Last time:
He looks down at the letter and recognizes the handwriting immediately. Ally's. He opens the envelope to find a small letter written.
Dear Austin,
You might be wondering where I am. Well I'm in New York. Cool, right? Well for me, it is. After what encountered between us, I got a call from MUNY offering me yet ANOTHER scholarship. This time, I couldn't let it down. I had to take this offer. Now I am, ha-ha. I still can't forgive you, Austin. What you did to me really hurt me. In fact, it crushed me. And because of that, I couldn't tell you all this in person so I decided to write this letter. Even though, you've hurt me, I still can't stop myself from loving you. I will forever and always love you, Austin Moon.
Yours truly,
Ally Dawson
Austin read the letter over and over again breathing and taking in every words. He feels his heart break into billions and billions of pieces.
2 years later:
It's been officially two years since Austin Moon found out that Ally Dawson left him and moved to New York. Don't judge, yes, he's been counting. He groggily gets up from his and bed and gets ready to go to go back to his college after one week of Spring Break. He got accepted to the ONLY College he applied to, Julliard University. He gets ready, eats breakfast, and drives to his college.
"Yo, Austin! How the heck are you, buddy? We haven't seen each other for a while." Dez yells when he spots Austin coming out of his car.
"Dez, we hung out yesterday. How is that 'a while'?"
"'I don't know'." Austin face palms and the two go back to their apartment. They are not exactly on the same college but they both are near each other so they decided to share an apartment Dez's parent bought for them. Dez and Austin both coincidentally got accepted on the same day.
"Hey Dez, I'm going out."
"Oki-doki, bye-ah!" Austin stares at him confused, shakes his head, and leaves.
"What's with this traffic jam? Ugh!" Austin groans in frustration. He feels his stomach growl and stops in for a drive-in.
"Hi. May I have your order, please?"
"Yeah, I would like to a turkey burger and one large soda."
"What type of soda?"
"Coke, please."
"Okay. One turkey burger and a large coke. That would be $11.75, please." Just as the waitress says that, Austin notices a girl with long, chestnut hair enter the restaurant. He gets up from his car to try to look at the girl more carefully. But, unfortunately, he missed her.
"Sir, are you going to pay?"
"Is there any way I can get this order INSIDE the restaurant? Sorry for coming to the drive-in."
"Of course! Just pay right here and your order will be ready inside." Austin quickly pays and rushes inside. He searches everywhere for the girl until he ends up bumping into someone.
"Omph! Sorry." He hears a familiar voice. It's the girl. But unfortunately, AGAIN he doesn't get to see her face.
"Uhh…excuse me. Miss. Excuse me." He grabs her wrist feeling electricity shoot up in his spine. It can't be her. Right? The girl turns around to face her and just as he sees her, his whole life comes together like pieces of puzzle. Ally. Meanwhile, Ally stares at him in anger, love, and hurt.
"A-Ally? I knew it- I knew it was you." He was speechless. Ally takes the chance to free her hand and takes an attempt to leave. Austin steps in her way. She tries to take the other way but he steps in again. This goes on and on for about 6 minutes until she finally gives up and sighs.
"What do you want, Austin?"
"Well, right now I need to sit, with YOU, 'cause my legs hurt." Austin say forgetting about his long lost order."
"I'm sorry. I don't have time. I need to leave."
"Ally, please. At least five minutes? Please?" Ally sighs for the second time and agrees.
"Awesome!" Austin grabs Ally's hands, goes outside, and finds them a place to sit. Once they reach there, Ally looks down at their hands and sees them intertwined. She feels like crying and hugging Austin tightly and never letting him go. But she's not as weak. Her best friend is Trish. She grasps her hand away and says,
"You have five minutes, go!"
"What are you doing here?"
"As far as I know, I've been here WAY before you were here. More like, what are YOU doing here?"
"I got into Julliard University. I live here now."
"YOU GOT INTO JULLIARD? OH MY GOD! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!" She realized what she said and quickly makes up an excuse. "As if! April Fool's."
"Ally, April Fool's was yesterday. You can't just say that now, you know."
"Whatever. Oh look, time's up, gotta go!" Before she could leave, Austin cups her face and kisses her lovingly. Ally's eyes widen as wide as glass plates. She pushes him away.
"What the heck? Why would you do that?" Ally asks breathlessly. Austin just shrugs.
"You can't just do that to someone," Ally's voice breaks and she forces herself not to let the tears fall, "Especially to me. Y-you think I'm so w-weak 'cause I didn't have courage to say good bye to you in person. S-so you take an advantage of m-me like that. Do you know how hard it was for me to l-leave you? Do you have any idea? You were probably in a happy r-relationship while I c-cried my heart out writing that l-letter. But of course, you're an idiot. You won't know." She finishes off with finally letting out her tears free. Austin pulls her in a tight hug and Ally cries and cries and cries into his shirt.
"I'm sorry. I'm so so so so sorry, Ally. I didn't know. I made the hugest mistake of my life letting you go and I regret it every stinking freaking day. Every morning, I would wake with you on my mind. In fact, today's the official two years since you moved here. Yes, I've been counting because that's what happened to me when you left." Austin takes the chance to wipe Ally's tears and stare into her oh-so-beautiful big eyes.
"I never got into a relationship with Crystal. The moment we broke up with each other, I felt like I lost something SO important to me. I felt like I lost my air. You were basically my oxygen and I lost that." Ally lets out a small laugh.
"Since when did you become so touchy? You never said anything like this two years ago."
"Well let's just say, I've watched a lot of sad romantic movies after you left." This time they both start laughing and Austin pulls her into another hug.
"I missed you, Austin." Ally hugs him ever more tightly, if that's even possible.
"Me too. I'm so sorry, Ally."
"It's okay. Enough with the apologizing. You know what they say, 'people learn from their mistakes.'" Austin breaks the hug, but still has his arms around Ally's back.
"It's been two years and you still have that dorky nerdy side of yours."
"Hey! I've grown up, not changed."
"Good. 'Cause I love this side of yours."
"You still love me? After everything I've said and done."
"You didn't do anything wrong. Whatever you did, I deserved it. I should've deserved something way worse than that. And to answer your question, yeah, I still and always will love you. Like you said in that letter, forever and always. Which, by the way, is a big evidence that you still love me too."
"Well, you don't need evidence, because I do." Without even thinking, Ally says that and starts blushing like crazy. That was enough for Austin to hear 'cause the next thing he did, much to our surprise (not exactly), Austin kissed Ally and she didn't even have to think about it and kissed him back with as much love as possible.
Austin cups her face and Ally puts her hand in his chest and they continue kissing. Not a hot, steamy, gross kiss, but a passionate, with lots and lots of love and affectionate kiss. When they finally break it off, Ally slowly but surely open her eyes to reveal a love-struck faced Austin admiring her beautiful-flawless face.
"You know, you've gotten even more beautiful in two years? Please don't tell me guys check you out all the time."
"Well they do, and a couple of guys even asked me out, but I never accepted. I always gave an excuse on studies to blow them off."
"Well now you don't have to have an excuse. You can just tell them the truth on being taken. 'Cause you will always and forever be mine. Just remember that."
"Who said I was yours?"
"Don't play with me. That kiss told me everything that was going through your mind. And you don't have to say anything, 'cause I already made you mine. If you don't agree, then I'll kidnap you."
"Okay, now you're just scaring me." Austin shakes his head and hugs her again.
"I love you, Ally."
Ally lets out a long, happy sigh. "I love you too, Austin. Don't ever think of hurting me like that again."
"Not gonna happen 'cause I won't let myself."
They hang out for the rest of the day catching up and telling everyone the good news.
Once Austin lies down to sleep, he remembered something.
"I NEVER GOT MY FOOD!"
AAAAAND DONE! This was the final chapter. How was it? Review, maybe?
