Chapter 3

Ally woke up to the sound of her alarm, she sighed and peeled the covers off of her. She was still battling if to tell Austin about her cancer or not. But what made it worse that in the holidays her mum and dad were going to a convention in LA and had booked for Austin to look after her throughout the holidays! So either way she would have to be stuck with him making it harder to keep a secret from him but she knew that it would make her feel better knowing that she was spending the whole holiday with someone she cared about. She just had to put up with two weeks of torture throughout school, but she knew that if she did it, it would be better for all of them She was going shopping with Trish and Dez today for Trish's birthday party, Dez needed to get her birthday present as her birthday party was two week away and Trish wanted to get Ally's opinion on her birthday outfit. This gave her the perfect chance to tell them what was going on with her.

She stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel, she walked back into her room, she put on her black jean shorts with her black and white cameo and applied natural make up and mascara. She dried and curled her chestnut hair in her normal morning routine. She felt really nervous about telling Trish and Dez about her cancer but she was more nervous about what Austin is going to do today at school after yesterday's events. She was always thinking the worst like that Austin was going to deny everything that he had said the night before, that he was going to act like the Austin that he had said that he hated! But what made it worse was that if she thought was going to happen she would have to spend the rest of the holidays that were coming up with his alter ego and she couldn't stand any more lying as that was one of the main reasons that it split them up! But if such a small thing a lying could split Austin and Ally up, maybe their relationship wasn't as strong as she had hoped!

She got to school and was met by Austin as soon as she stepped through the doors into the corridor, his face was blank from emotions and that scared Ally. He looked at her with his gorgeous brown eyes but behind them Ally could see their was something bothering him and she could see the way he looked at her that she knew it was something to do with her. "Hey Ally? I've been meaning to talk to you since last night... I'm sorry about what i said last night, if it upset you in any way. So... Yeah! Oh! Also, i was wondering what you wanted to tell me. If it's something about what i said to you yesterday in school, i'm sorry for that. I was just annoyed the necklace away from me because it was something that meant a lot to me, even though it was the last thin you ever gave me! It gave me something to remember my and your relationship before it turned into something worse!" He said, Ally swallowed back the tears that were fighting their way up to her eyes. She shook her head "No! No! I'm fine their is something going on at home that i needed someone who would listen to me and you were just the person who came to me!" Ally said, she was lying. She was not telling him the truth in the middle of a school hallway. "Okay. What is it?" He asked her, genuinely concerned. "No! It doesn't matter anymore it was just a little issue that was soon sorted. Don't worry about it, there is nothing to worry about!" She lied and with that she walked to class.

After four lessons it was finally time for lunch, Ally went and sat with Trish and Dez after getting her lunch. Chatter began between the three of them but was quickly ended as Austin came and sat down with them, Dez looked shocked but Trish just looked astounded by his sudden actions. Trish and Dez got up from the table and picked up their trays and walked away. But Ally didn't follow, she stayed seated next to Austin, "Ally? What are you doing with that jerk?" Trish spat in Austin face. She was still clearly annoyed with Austin for what he had done, how he had broken Ally's heart and left them for Trish's basically arch enemy! But it was mainly Ally he had hurt, so if she could forgive him couldn't Trish? Unfortunately, Trish was a lot less forgiving than Ally and could hold a grudge for much longer then anyone else Ally had ever met. "Trish just sit down, this 'jerk' actually is here to explain himself!" Ally said signalling for Austin to agree with her. "Yeah... I know i have been a jerk and i deserve whatever you have to say to me... but just here me out!" Austin pleaded. Trish rolled her eyes and sat down, closely copied by Dez. "Okay... So i want you guys to know that whatever you guys think and say about me, you don't feel half as bad as i do every second since the night that Ally gave me this." Austin said, flashing the Guitar Pick necklace at Trish and Dez. "But what i want to say is that I know I have been a jerk so i came over here to explain myself to you guys... Well... To start with i want to explain why i did what i did to Ally that night. I know i called her a liar but i had let Cassidy get to me, i though i was in love with Cassidy but now i have realised that it was just a silly little crush. I was annoyed more with myself that night because i was confused at what Ally was telling me, i was annoyed that at first i hadn't believed her and Ally was the first person there who unfortunately i shouted at! But as soon as i had said all that i regretted it all. I knew that Ally would never lie to me, she would tell me the truth no matter how painful it was if she thought it was best for me. I now realise that everything i said to her was how i was feeling, i felt that i was lying to myself about my own feelings towards Cassidy! I just really wish that i could change every second of that night!" He said, he was fighting back the tears clearly and Ally knew that was all he wanted to say. Trish just looked at him, her face was blank from expression and just looked bored. Dez on the other hand was tearing up, he had never really hated Austin but just had followed orders from Trish, or so he said. "I've missed you Austin!" He said as he lunged across the table to Austin and hugged him so tightly that Austin went slightly red. "I've missed you too bud! But get off!" Austin said with a strained voice as if he was being strangled. "Look. Austin. I will never fully forgive you and you are still not invited to my birthday party but if Ally can put up with you then i can at least give it a try." Trish said, and with that team Austin was at least not hating each other any more.

After another three periods Trish, Dez and Ally all went shopping for Trish's birthday, they first went into Sonic Boom for Ally to pick up her purse and her other bag with her book and her phone. They spent an hour looking for Trish's outfit in just one shop but still not finding anything! Ally had got her outfit sorted for Trish's party at leas, with some help from Trish that is. But three hours later, they were all exhausted but Trish had finally found her outfit, it was a strapless pink cocktail dress and Dez had got Trish's birthday present which he had sworn to keep a secret from everyone. They walked to the food court which was in the centre of the mall where they went and sat outside McDonald's whilst Dez got their food. Ally just felt that she was going to be sick or pass out after being dragged around 15 stores as well as being dragged to dressing rooms and been used as a human dressing rack more times than she can remember. Dez bought the food to their table and sat down quickly, also clearly exhausted. "Hey guys... I have something to tell you..." All said nervously, they were both eating but stopped when she said this. "Before i say it i want you to let me finish before you say anything because i want to get this out. Okay... I... I have cancer... the doctor says that i have to have a transplant if i want to survive and they are doing all they can to help so i don't want you guys to worry but i just wanted to let you guys know..." Ally trailed off, Trish had started crying but Dez just sat there, not moving and just staring at his hands. Ally heard footsteps behind her and Ally turned around to see Austin, he looked upset and scared, she could see that he had heard what she had said. "Ally?" was all he said before she ran away.
