I've been busy, but I fit this in with the little free time I had. Thanks to my reviewers AcexiFan, xXLaura KateXx, ctiger, geekychic13, Writer Fever, Lolipopkillsu, and K for supporting my story. This chapter is for you guys!
Austin woke up feeling warm and less groggy. Actually, he was way warmer than earlier. He opened his eyes and he nearly knocked Ally off the couch catching her as she began to tip off the side. He didn't know how she ended up curled up with him, but he had to admit it was nice. He couldn't help staring at Ally's peaceful sleeping face. He leaned over tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and brushed his lips against her cheek.
Ally moved and stretched, opening her eyes looking around. Austin leaned against the back of the couch as she turned to him. "You're awake; I didn't mean to fall asleep." Ally sighed looking up at him shyly. Austin laughed "How come you're lying here with me?" Ally sat up Austin's arm still wrapped around her. She blushed "I tried to wake you up to check your temp and you ended up pulling me down on the couch with you. I tried to get Trish to help and she just laughed. She said Dez and her had something planned." Austin sat up and seeing that his arm was still around her he lifted it off her. "Sorry, I didn't mean to hold you captive. I blame the medicine." Austin smiled and leaned toward her "Although, you are a great source of heat. I probably used you as my own heater." Ally rolled her eyes "It just means you owe me another big cup of lemonade, my heat doesn't come for free."
Austin leaned closer smiling his sun melting smile "I'm sure I owe you more than lemonade." Ally smiled nervously and her hand instinctively reached for a strand of hair. Austin caught her hand and she stared wide-eyed at him. His face was an inch away from her face now and Ally could practically see into his soul through his eyes. Ally didn't know what to do except grab a strand of hair with her free hand which of course Austin stopped.
Suddenly, the front door slammed open and they jumped away from each other. "Ally, Dez did the funniest thing!" Trish barged into the living room. "It wasn't that funny!" Dez hurried in after her. "R-Really, what happened?" Ally tried to talk normally, but failed. Austin wasn't smiling his normal smile; he seemed a little annoyed at the interruption. "Dez tripped over his own feet, knocked a sign over, causing Dallas to spill his soda all over himself, and then Dez fell backward butt dialing his mom. All you could here was his mom saying "Hello" and "Dez, take me out of your pocket and stop butt dialing me!" Trish laughed. "Um, Trish you could've just called." Ally laughed a little. "Hey buddy, what's with the unhappy look." Dez saw Austin's less than happy smile. "Oh, it is nothing. I-I was sick and Ally was taking care of me. I'm still a bit under the weather." Austin lied.
"Or is it this?" Trish flashed a pic of Austin snuggling with a nervous looking Ally. "How'd you get that?" Austin groaned looking over at Ally. "Hey, I was stuck and needed help. Waking you is nearly impossible." Ally defended herself. Dez reached for the phone "Wait a minute, now I'm confused." Austin raised his eyebrows "What's confusing about it?" "I thought you guys were just fake dating." Dez scratched his head. "We are, that was his fever and medicine working. I couldn't get up; he had a death grip on me." Ally explained. "Oops, I'm sorry, but I think I forwarded this to everyone in Trish's address book." Dez handed the phone back to the short Latino girl. "What?" Ally and Austin said at the same time. Trish nervously laughed "It's just my family, you guys, and a couple people at the mall including Ally's dad."
Ally almost grabbed a whole wad of hair and started chewing it, but she was frozen in shock. Austin felt like cursing and throwing something, but one glance at Ally and he was more worried she'd have a heart attack. Ally excused herself from the room and then they heard a loud scream before she reentered the room. "You were saying, Trish?" Ally was beyond nervous as her phone went off a couple times. Ally groaned and looked at her phone. She read her dad's text first: We need to talk! Are you dating him now? Ally wanted to die. Then there was a text from Dallas and she nervously opened it: What the hell was that? We never did that and what's Trish doing sending it to everyone? "Oh boy, I'm in for two bad confrontations." Ally grimaced and furiously texted back an explanation about the pic. Austin's phone was silent except for the pic sent to his phone.
Austin watched Ally unsure what to do. "No, no, no, no, and a hundred times no!" Ally gasped as she read a text on her phone that she had just received. "Guys, leave now and hurry. You've got to leave, especially Austin. Go now!" Ally yelled. "What's going on, Ally?" Austin asked surprised by her sudden panic. "I just need you to leave. Hurry, please before- just leave!" Ally cried. Trish took Ally's phone "Dallas is coming and- Ally does that say what I think it does?" "Yes, now leave. Go, it's not a good idea to stay." Ally frowned. "What does it say, Trish?" Austin wondered while Dez just stared off in space. "It doesn't matter, let's go. Only Ally can get him to listen right now. He won't be rational if we're here." Trish gave Ally her phone back and oddly hugged her "We're going okay, but the minute you need help you call." Whatever the text said Austin knew it wasn't good, but he knew leaving with the others was probably the safer thing for all of them. He stood and followed Trish who was pulling Dez out the door, only glancing back once at Ally's fearful face before exiting the house.
I just couldn't help bringing Dez's clumsiness into it! I hoping to get two chapters up today, so fingers crossed and don't forget to review!
