2 days later
Ally walked through the gates of her high school after a long weekend. She was soon side by side with Dez and Trish. She gave then both a weak smile and walked straight into school. Not turning back to see where Austin was, she didn't want to look like she cared. Trish and Dez had not talked to Austin since Ally had told them what had happened between the two of them and they were still annoyed with him for what he had said to her. Dez, his best friend, has defended her since what had happened. He fought with Austin, lost touch with Austin and that meant that he had lost his goofy smile, jokes and everything that made Dez, Dez! Ally felt that it was all her fault that Dez is like this, Dez had come back to her with bleeding noses, really bad bruises and even once a broken arm! Austin had turned into a jerk and was vicious and reckless, he had dhanged Dez into something he's not. Austin had changed into something he's not.
They all walked into the hallway to see Austin standing by Ally's locker, Ally felt Dez tense up at the sight of him. He and Austin hated each other now but Dez never seemed scared of him. Ally looked at Austin and realised why Dez had tensed up, he was wearing the Guitar pick necklace that i had gotten him so long ago. But it wasn't just that, he had the most sly grin on his face, almost looking like the Cheshire cat. This also made Ally scared but she tried not to show it, she slowly walked to her locker like there was nothing there and with one flick of the wrist slammed her locker door into Austin's face. "AH! What was that for you bitch!" he shouted, clearly annoyed Ally looked back to see Trish and Dez laughing but turned back again to see Austin glaring at her "Well... i thought it would be funny as 1) you weren't expecting it and 2)because you are wearing that necklace that i got you so long ago! You don't deserve to wear it!" Ally shouted back in his face but viciously whispered the last sentence as she grabbed the necklace, pulling it hard so it came of his neck and just threw it back in his face walking away "Well you thought I would be worth it two years ago! Has your little crush on me finally realised that I'm too good for you!" he shouted back at Ally she abruptly stopped in her tracks, turned round on her heels and walked back to Austin "NO! 1)I'm to good for you because you are a Dick! And 2) I never had a crush on you! I just thought you were worth it because i hadn't realised what a dick you were!" Ally said, walking away once again, leaving Austin shell shocked at what had just happened. Ally had lied throughout what she had just said but she knew it was best for him. He deserved it.
Austin was still standing at Ally's locker completely surprised when the bell went for registration. He tried to recover himself and walked into the classroom to see Ally sitting with Trish and Dez laughing about who knows what. He wished he could be sitting with them but Austin knows that what he did to Ally was unforgivable and nothing was going to change that! Austin slowly walks to the back of the classroom and takes his normal seat in the corner so no one can see him. Ally looks at him a few times throughout the class and every time they make eye contact it gives him a little piece of hope but it is soon over when she turns back around. He knows that he needs Aly in his life, she was the one who kept him sane, but she is not there anymore and he knew that he needed to do something about that. He looked down into his hand to see he was still clutching the Guitar Pick necklace that Ally had given him, he swallowed the tears as the bell went for English.
School was a very long day and it made Ally feel worse, she lay on her bed after talking to her parents about how she didn't want to do school after this semester, she had two weeks left in school until the next school break, she knew that she was going to get worse as time went on and she knew it was the right thing to do. She knew that she needed to tell Trish and Dez but had been arguing in her head to tell Austin or not. Ally had only thought about Austin since she had found out about her cancer. She had thought about how he had called her a liar, how he had left her, Trish and Dez to fend for themselves even though he had promised her that he was never going to leave them. She thought about how he had told her that he preferred Cassidy who he had known for about a year over her, who he had known his whole life! She got up and climbed onto the roof, her and Austin had done this so many times when they were younger. The sky was still blue but the sun was fading as she sat curled up on the roof, she looked over into the house next door where Austin lived, the lights were off but she could see the swing set in the back garden, she looked closely to see that Austin was sitting on the swing that he sat on two years ago when he called her a liar and broke her heart.
Ally saw him holding something silver in his hands, he looked upset and was wearing what he always used to wear, he was wearing his red t-shirt and blue jeans. She climbed down from the roof and back into her room and walked downstairs and out of the house. She had to do something about what was going on sooner or later and better make it sooner under the circumstances!
She walked round into Austin's house and into the back yard, she saw Austin sitting there on the swing. He had the silver chain wrapped around his hand. She came and sat next to him. He didn't look up but just stared at the Guitar Pick necklace in his hand. "What do you want Dawson?" he said, his voice seemed weak and he looked as if he had been crying. "Well for 1) I know you know my first name and 2)I wanted to tell you something." Ally said. Austin slowly looked up at her, she knew that he had been crying because his eyes were red and puffy. "No... I have to tell you something... I was wrong to call you a liar so long ago. But i don't know what came over me! I'm not blaming anyone but myself but I thought i would never say something like that to you. I have known you all my life and i couldn't imagine any life without you, but what i said was unforgivable and i don't expect you to... But i just want you to know that if i could redo that moment i would! You are everything to me and these last two years have been torture without you-" He would have carried on but Ally had ran away. She couldn't cope with what he was saying. That he couldn't live life without her, but with her having cancer, it was likely that he would have to.
She ran back home and collapsed on her bed she looked out the window to see Austin still sitting on the swing set. She would have to tell him, right? But if she told him it might break his heart. But if she didn't tell him, it would also break his heart knowing that she was keeping something from him. Either way it would break his heart and break her heart to see him in pain. If she told him he would never leave her side, it would make it even harder for him if she did die!
