I know, I know. It's been a while since I've written. I've been totally busy with school and a whole bunch of other crap. Anyway, I've gotten a lot more reviews, so I thank you all SO much! The feedback has been great.

I wrote this chapter with lots of thought! PLEASE let me know whatcha think!

(I Don't Own!)

Ally's POV:

We just stood there in the water, wrapped in each others arms. He kissed my neck, I kissed his. The longer it went on, the hotter it got.

We laughed when we were interrupted by a huge wave. We both washed up on the shore together, side-by-side. I was laughing so hard my eyes were watering. But I'm thinking it was because of the salt.

I looked over at Austin and found him watching me, laughing. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing," he smiled, "You're just beautiful, that's all." He kissed me on the nose then got up off the grown.

Confused, I asked, "Austin?" He stopped and looked back at me. His eyes were red.

"My eyes are fucking killing me!" He yelled. I laughed and got up. He wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked up the beach. I put mine on his shoulder.

"Can I ask you a question?" I spoke softly.

"Aw, Ally! Of course I'll marry you!" He responded. I took my arm off his shoulder and slapped him. "Ow!" He rubbed the place where I hit him.

"Seriously, Aus!" I looked at him sternly. "What's going to happen to our partnership?"

He looked at me, confused. "What do you mean?"

I thought about it as we collected our clothes and put them on, "Well," I started, "we're now dating. You don't think it'll change anything, do you?" I covered myself with my shirt, and I noticed him watching me with his goofy smile. His smile literally took my breath away...

As he was putting his shirt on, he responded, "I don't really think us dating will change anything, Alls. If anything, it might make it better."

I nodded, "Yeah, I guess that makes sense. But what if we argue?"

He paused pulling his shirt over his stomach, "We've argued before, Ally, and it never damaged our friendship." He put his hands on my shoulders, "Now stop worrying. Everything will be just fine." He kissed me on my forehead and led me up the beach, onto the boardwalk.

As we walked, hand-in-hand, every now and then, I'd peek up at him. I found him smiling; neither of us talked. Which was fine because we both seemed to enjoy the silence.

Unfortunately, silence made me think about serious things: What if our relationship was affected because of his career? What if we argued about lyrics or something, and it lead to a breakup?

So many things popped into my mind that I didn't think about before. But the more I thought about it, it'd all be worth it.

I smiled to myself, knowing he was looking. "What?" he asked.

I looked up, probably with a mad case of googly eyes, "Just thinking about us."

He smirked, "Yeah, me too, Alls." He put his hand around my shoulder, kissing my hair.

Too soon we arrived back at Sonic Boom. It was locked, but it was only 5:30. Why is it closed up?

"What the..." I trailed off as I tried to open the door.

"The light are off too,"Austin noted.

"I'm gonna go around the back and see if it's locked too." I started to walk around the corner, when I felt Austin put his arm around my waist, stopping me in my tracks.

I turned around and found him looking up, "What's wrong, Aus?"

"Ally, I think I know what's going on," I followed his gaze to the window, showing a part of the practice room. "Who were the last people here when we left?"

I thought about it for a second before gasping, Dez and Trish!

I felt the puzzled look on my face, "You don't think they're-" I was interrupted by Austin closing his eyes, trying not to laugh. I rolled my eyes, "Austin, this isn't funny! It's disgusting. They keep going at it like monkeys!" Annoyed, I watched him laugh even harder.

But finally, I gave up. I couldn't be annoyed with him. His laugh is so musical, I could listen to it for hours.

Before long, I was laughing with him. I loved our time together, despite that my brother and best friend were in the building next to us doing god know's what.

Austin POV:

We stood there laughing before I grabbed her hand and led her to my car. "Let's go ahead and get you home. Looks like the store is closed up for the night," I winked at her and she laughed.

When we drove down the street, it felt like ten cars honked at us because I was too busy looking at Ally and getting distracted.

"You need to keep your eyes on the road, babe." I looked over and found her face turning cherry red. The babe part must have slipped out.

I smiled in reassurance, and put my hand on her thigh. She led her shoulders fall in relief, and I soon found her leaning her head on my shoulder. About thirty seconds later, I heard her snoring. I noticed how unique her snore was, I'd never forget it: not loud like an old man, but definitely not like a quiet church mouse. I laughed quietly, taking note at how cute it was.

We finally arrived at her house. I really didn't want to wake her, but I had to.

I turned off the car as quietly as possible, and lightly moved her head against the headrest. I got out of the car and walked around, never taking my eyes off of her beautiful face.

Slowly, I opened the door. She didn't have her seat belt on, which I fully disapproved. I'd have to remind her about that later.

I gently put my hand under her legs and on her lower back. Which made me nervous, so I shook a little. I heard her moan and I softly shushed her, "We're home, Alls," I whispered. I picked her up from the car and I felt her put her arms around my neck and her head against my chest. I smiled and kicked the car door shut. She jumped a little; I guessed it scared it, "Sorry, babe," I kissed her hair. It felt so natural to call her 'babe'.

I carried her up the lawn and thankfully, Mr. Dawson was there holding the door open. "Take her up to her room," he whispered.

I grinned and mouthed thank you.

Slowly, I carried her up to her room. The door was already open, so I walked in laying her on her bed.

I'd never been in Ally's room before; I admired all the pictures of her and Trish from when they were kids. I heard her moan again, so I moved my arms from underneath her. She looked up at me, "Austin?"

I shushed her again. I put her legs up on the mattress and took her shoes off. I looked up and found her staring at me with tired eyes. Soon, while putting the covers over her, I found myself singing softly:

Baby,
Now that I've found you
I can't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so
Baby, even though you don't need me
You don't need me

Baby, baby, since first we met
I knew in this heart of mine
The love we had could not be bad
Play it right and bide my time

Spent a lifetime looking for somebody
To give me love like you
Now you've told me that you wanna leave me
Darling, I just can't let you.

Baby,
Now that I've found you
I can't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so
Baby, even though you don't need me
You don't need me

She then put her hands over my hand and pulled me down next to her. "I need you." I smiled and continued singing, while laying next to her.

Spent a lifetime looking for somebody
To give me love like you
Now you've told me that you wanna leave me
Darling, I just can't let you.

Baby,
Now that I've found you
I can't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so
Baby, even though you don't need me
You don't need me

After I finished, I kissed her. Not passionately, but very softly. But still hot. She put her hand on my chest, and I put mine on her hip. Trying to be respectful, I pulled away after a few minutes. I whispered, "Your Dad is downstairs." She nodded, understanding. I then got up, and pulled the covers all the way up to her neck, and kissed her forehead. "I love you, Alls."

I really didn't expect that to slip out. I felt my face turn red, and she smiled. She pulled her arm out from underneath the covers and put her hand on my cheek, "I love you too, Austin."

She leaned up and pecked my lips before turning over and snoring again. I smiled to myself as I walked out of her room. I closed her door and peeked into Dez's room: filthy. But he wasn't there. I rolled my eyes and headed down the stairs. I found Mr. Dawson on the couch watching ESPN.

He looked up and asked, "Is she snoring?"

"Yes, sir," I nodded. We both laughed quietly.

He muted the TV and spoke, "Good, good." Wow, this was a bit awkward...

I decided to rip the silence, "Who's playing?"

"Braves and Redsox...want to watch?"

I jumped over the couch and sat right next to him, "Hell yeah!" I covered my mouth quickly, realizing what I had just said.

Surprisingly, he just laughed and turned the volume up. After about two hours, we were watching another game after the first one had ended. We were both yelling at the TV, totally disregarding the fact that Ally was upstairs sound asleep.

Dez soon walked in, slamming the door. "Going to bed, night," he murmured, but then realized I was sitting there, "Hey, dude."

I looked over, "You okay, Dez?"

He nodded, "I'm good. We'll talk tomorrow." He slowly walked up the stairs before closing his door.

I shrugged it off and watched more of the game. It wasn't long before I started to get tired, "Mr. Dawson, I'm gonna have to head home soon."

He nodded, "Say hey to your parents for me, son." He didn't look at me, just kept staring at the TV.

"Yes, sir," I answered. I waved, knowing he wasn't looking at me.

All of a sudden, I heard someone call my name, "Austin."

I turned around with my hand on the doorknob, "Sir?"

He stood up and walked over to me, holding his hand out. I took it with my heart beating fast.

"Do me a favor?" I nodded. "Take care of my girl, okay?"

I felt my shoulders fall in relief. He must of noticed because he started laughing, he clapped his hand on my shoulder.

I laughed, "Yes, sir. I already plan on it." He let go of my hand and let me walk out the door before closing it quietly behind me.

I was shocked by what he said, but I fully understood. I had always taken care of Ally, but now it was different. She was my girlfriend. And it felt so good to finally say it.

There's chapter 7! I hope you enjoyed it. Today or tomorrow, I'll write chapter 8. I already have it written, so it will be a very short time before it's published!

Let me know what you think! Reviews please :)
