Chapter 5

AN: Sorry that this chapter took so long but here it. I don't own anything other than the story line so I hope you enjoy it!

As Ally sat on the roof she saw Austin's backyard light on again, she looked down into is backyard to see him sitting on the swing where he had sat the first time she had seen him, the first time she had tried to tell him about her cancer. She felt guilty that he had found out the way he had but she felt better now that he knew what was going on with her. But she couldn't help but smile at him, the was he still knew her so well that he knew where she would be even after two years, she smiled at the way that he was still protective over her, but she mainly smiled over the fact that she was finally with Austin. She had been so confused after Austin had left about how she felt when Austin was near her, she thought it was with everyone for a little while but then when she had met Dez and Trish, she was confused why she didn't feel what she felt with Austin, Trish had told her that the way she felt with Austin would only come once but Ally had never thought she had liked Austin the way she does. She had only realised her true feelings to Austin when he came to her in the park a few hours ago. But now that she thought about it she could see that it was there all along. She LOVED Austin!

She began to get tired as the night went on so she climbed down from the roof and went to bed. She thought about what tomorrow would bring considering it was Austin's birthday. Trish and Austin's birthdays were quite close and she used to always get there presents at the same time but she hadn't got Austin a present this year because she didn't expect any of this to happen (obviously) so she planned on going shopping with Austin tomorrow and she would get him something then. She fell asleep soon later thinking about what she was going to get Austin.

She was woken the next morning by the sound of her alarm clock playing Double Take by Austin Moon, she smiled and got out of bed, she was normally not a morning person but surprisingly she was in a good mood today. She grabbed a towel and walked into the bathroom to get ready with her normal morning routine, she took a quick shower and got ready with grey denim jeans and a black and white checker shirt she applied natural makeup with some mascara and went downstairs for breakfast. She grabbed her toast her mum had made for her and ate it quickly. She was in a hurry but her mum made sure she had taken her tablets before she went to school as well as checking her bag to make sure she had the rest of her tablets for the day. Ally groaned as her mum took as long as she could to check Ally had everything she needed before she was able to go. She walked with a slight skip in her step to the house next door and knocked on the door. She waited for about to minutes before Mrs. Moon came and opened the door

"Hello Ally! What are you doing here so early?" She was surprised to see Ally at her door after 2 years but she still greeted her with welcome.

"Oh! I came to wish Happy Birthday to Austin!" She said to him as she came into the house.

"OH Austin's still in bed but he needs to get up now. You can go wake him up if you want but he needs to be downstairs in five minutes so no messing about!" She said as Ally blushed, Ally knew what Mrs Moon was talking about and was completely and utterly embarrassed that she would even think that!

"Okay... Thank you and there will be none of that I assure you!" Ally replied as she walked upstairs.

Ally walked into Austin's room to see Austin still completely fast asleep, she walked up to him as quietly as she could so he didn't wake up and bent down over him directly above his ear.

"AUSTIN WAKE UP IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU NEED TO BE DOWNSTAIRS IN 5!" she shouted as loud as she could down his ear. He woke up instantly and grabbed Ally, pulling her onto the bed, he rolled over sitting up and he was on top of her in a flash. She couldn't stop laughing as Austin glared at her, she just kept laughing and soon later Austin was laughing too! "No but seriously you need to be downstairs in five otherwise your mum is going to throw away you presents!" Ally said as his face filled with panic. He got off her as quick as he got on her and ran into the bathroom. But before she could get up he came running back in to give her a kiss, his lips met hers so quickly that it caught Ally off guard but again it was soon gone. She got up and walked downstairs to see Mrs. Moon laughing to herself

"He'll be down in a minute." Ally said to her and soon later Austin came thundering down the stairs.

"Where are my presents?" Austin asked as soon as he got downstairs as I started giggling to myself.

"There on the table but-"Mrs. Moon says but Austin had already run to the table. He started to rip open all the presents he had like a little kid. He got a new guitar as well as $100 in cash. Two new pairs of high tops and more!

"Hey Austin what are you doing for your party?" Ally asked. He just shrugged I looked over to Mrs. Moon to see she was looking at her, Ally walked over to her and Mimi whispered to her

"We're having a surprise party for him this weekend. I was wondering if you could take him out for a while until around twelve o'clock so we can get everything ready?" Ally looked at her and gave her a quick nod. That gave Ally the opportunity to get his present.

After Austin had eaten breakfast it was time to go to school. It was a ten minute drive and Austin gave Ally a lift to school she would normally get to school by the bus but Austin insisted that he gave her a lift. They talked in the car about the arrangements for going to the mall on Saturday (to distract him and get him away from his house) they planned to meet at sonic boom for around ten o'clock and then they would go round the mall to get Austin's birthday present from Ally and they would just hang out round there until they wanted to go home. Ally would make sure that they did not go home until at least twelve o'clock. They got to school to see Trish and Dez were waiting for Ally at the gate. They drove through and parked near the field, Ally hopped out the car and grabbed her bag. She walked up to Trish and Dez with her bag swinging on her shoulder.

"Who gave you a lift?" Trish asked

"Oh! Austin gave me a lift, I went round to his this morning to wish him happy birthday and he insisted on driving me to school." Ally said. Trish just rolled her eyes but gave her a smile, Trish had known that Ally still had feelings for Austin this whole time but she had never realised. Well until now I guess. She could see on Ally's face that she was happy and that meant that it was either something to do with her family which Trish felt highly unlikely with everything going on, or it was to do with Austin, Ally had not truly been happy since Austin had left her and Trish had tried everything! But nothing ever worked. Even though Trish was annoyed that Ally had forgiven Austin so easily after all that he had done she was just glad that Ally was finally happy and as long as Austin didn't break her heart again. Austin would probably live for at least his remaining high school life. But Trish was still annoyed at him as she was not as forgiving as the sweet, innocent Ally. Trish just hoped that Ally would stay innocent and sweet even if she was hurt by Austin again. But if Austin did hurt Ally again Trish would make sure that he would regret ever being born!

Dez on the other hand was almost as forgiving as Ally, he had missed his best friend ever since he had left. Dez did know that what Austin had done was unforgiveable but Dez had made sure that Austin paid for that by giving him his annual beating. But when Austin had come to them he had seemed genuinely sorry and Dez was a fool for anything like that. Dez knew Austin as well as Austin knew himself and he knew that Austin would never hurt Ally unless he was confused or threatened to. But Austin had hurt Ally and that confused Dez (more than he is confused normally) and Dez was his best friend. It hurt Dez to think that his best friend has changed for the worse and had hurt someone that they both cared so much about. It hurt Austin to know that his stupid actions had hurt someone that he loved. It hurt Ally in every way, how Austin would prefer Cassidy over her, how Austin would leave her with know second thought after everything she went through with him for someone he had only known for a year which was nothing compared to how long Ally had known him! It hurt her so much that she had thought that she was not worth him, not worth friends; she was not even worth being loved!

(AN: But anyway on with the story) After School

After school Austin met Ally at the school gates.

"Hey Ally!" He shouted before she walked out of school "Em... I was wondering if you would want to come to dinner tonight at mine for my birthday. It'll be just me and my parents and I can't stand to sit at the table making small talk with my parents so I was wondering if you would like to come?" He said as he began to babble on. She smiled at his babbling and nodded they used to go to each others houses for dinner normally every night. It had been so long since she had seen Mr and Mrs Moon so she was looking forward to it. She got home and told her mum and dad that she was going to Austin's for dinner and they were okay with it as long as she took her tablets, she felt awkward that she would have to do it in front of Austin and his family but she knew they would be okay with it so she would just have to go about it like it was normal. She did her homework and took a shower. Put on her pink floral spaghetti strap dress and walked over to Austin's with everything she needed. She knocked on the door and it was soon answered by Mr Moon.

"Hi Mr Moon, Austin invited me over to dinner tonight..." She trailed off, she didn't want to intrude or be rude to them and this conversation was going down hill quickly.

"Oh! Of course Ally come in and don't be shy to call me Mike!" Austin's dad said as Ally stepped through the door, Mike walked back into the kitchen and a few moments later Austin came walking out his jaw dropped when he saw Ally, she just stood there awkwardly as he composed himself again. She couldn't help but blush when he walked up to her and took her hands in his

"You look beautiful. Well... more beautiful than you do normally!" He said as he stared into Ally's gorgeous brown eyes.

"Well i have to make sure that i make a good impression to your parents!" Ally said, Austin rolled his eyes

"My parents already love you. I have known you all my life, I don't think you need to make an impression since they have known you and your family all your life!" He said. Ally knew he was right but she still felt that if they were going to be together that she needed to make sure that Mike and Mimi liked her. They were called for dinner so they walked into the dining room to see a full chicken dinner lay out on the table

"Wow." Ally said to herself, the smell coming off the prepared food was amazing and Ally suddenly was very hungry. She sat down next to Austin and began to eat. The small talk throughout the dinner was centred around Austin and Ally. Mike and Mimi were careful not to mention anything to do with Ally being sick so Ally didn't know if Austin had told them or if they knew at all but she hoped they did because she had to take her pills soon. Before they got to desert the doorbell went Austin went to get it as Ally helped tidy up. He opened the door to see someone he did not want to see at a time like this. Her fake blonde hair even blonder than it had been and her clothes even tighter and smaller than it had ever been before.

"Austin!" She said opening her arms out to him and giving him a massive hug. She pulled away from the hug and crashed her lips into his, she shoved her tongue down his throat and made him feel like he was going to vomit. She pulled away from the kiss when they heard plates crash on the floor, Austin turned to see Ally in the doorway between the hallway and the kitchen with a pile of Mimi's best plates in pieces on the floor. She looked like she was either going to pass out or burst into tears. Austin pulled away from Cassidy's grip and walked over to her to explain himself

"Ally this-" He said putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't touch me." She whispered to him, her eyes were filling with tears and she wasn't planning on swallowing them back.

"What?" Austin asked, looking hurt and wounded from what she said

"I said DON'T TOUCH ME! You're a rotten scumbag and I wished I had seen that earlier. Trish told me that I was to forgiving and that I was going to get hurt again and she was right. Is this some joke to you? Huh?! Am I a joke to you? Just in case you didn't realise I'm dying and if you think this sick joke is funny. To make me trust you again, to make me think that you are worth it. You got me! But you know what! I don't care if you think it was funny to prank the sick kid. I just don't! And you know why? I'll be dead by the time you are able to get to me, to bully me so much that i reach breaking point and when I'm dead I will be so glad because i don't have to put up with bastards like you!" Ally screamed at him. She was crying now. And with that she ran out of the house away from Cassidy and mainly away from Austin.
