This one's shorter as well, but I can't blend i with the next one like last time because they're goingto be in different POVs. I feel kind of weird writing like this when my parents are in the room. AND THEY WOULDN'T LEAVE TODAY. Sorry. Here you go.

"Ally," a voice said in her ear, quietly like a whisper. Warm air brushed against her temple. She burrowed her face deeper into the pillow to her right and replied inaudibly. "Ally," the voice said again. Hair tickled the tips of her fingers as she lifted her eyes to see the blue and yellow plaid fabric of her shirt. Her thought process was slow as she realized that this was not her shirt, but his. It covered the arm that she had mistaken for a pillow. She stared sleepily at him, realizing the hair that had tickled her fingers was not hers. His eyes fluttered under his lashes as he breathed in and out rhythmically. She tangled her fingers deeper into the straw mess of his before retracting and observing the situation. He leaned on the couch right next to her with his head on the arm she had thought was a pillow. Their eyes not alligned but at an angle, his hair in his eyes. She could have sworn that he was the one who had said her name, but he was asleep. She must have been dreaming. Then again, it wasn't infrequent that she would have dreams as such. Thinking about at that moment, her sight was clear. She could see it. She looked at him in a different light; his blonde hair, his long dark lashes, his lips. It was so obvious, so why had she not noticed before? She could have leaned in right there, and made sure, but she didn't need to. She understood as she ran her pinkie finger over his bottom lip. She needed him next to her and she couldn't complicate that. She closed her eyes. She needed this.

"Ally?" came the voice again, this time it was definitely him. Her eyes met his. The ceiling light shone on them, giving their normal speckled brown the appearance of gold. They were worth that and so much more. Before she could stop herself, the corners of her lips twitched up in a smile. It was sweet but sad. Austin smiled back and neither of them moved. "I was going to give you five more minutes, but I think I fell asleep too." He said softly, warm breath brushed against her. The smell of his breath mixed with his usual smell of the beach in the summer. She didn't want to move but she knew that if she gave him the chance, he would first. She slunk upward into a leaning position and shook the hair out of her face. She watched as he sat up in front of her and ran the back of his hand over his eyes, wiping the nonexistent crust from his eyes. Thoughts of how he resembled a small furry animal crossed her mind and she couldn't stifle a giggle. He looked up at her and cocked an eyebrow before smiling himself. "I won't ask." He said before standing and offering his hand. She stared at it as if it was the last time he would ever show her such kindness. In reality it was just the understanding that he would always give her these moments, but he would never give it a second thought. That is what that look held and he returned it with a smile. She accepted his hand and allowed him to pull her up. They both reached up in the air to stretch and Ally had to look away before her eyes got caught on his stomach that happened to peek out from under his shirt.

"Good lord." She groaned, dropping her hands. She pushed her fingers against the bridge of her nose, reprimanding herself for becoming aware of something like this. Austin didn't seem to notice her slight episode seeing as he quickly made his way over to the fridge and rummaged around before pulling out a can of pop. He gestured to her, silently asking if she wanted one. "Oh no." she said coming back to reality. "Thanks." He took another look in the fridge, at all of the strange contents, before closing it.

"Ready?" he questioned after popping the top on his can. He took a sip before walking over to the door and pulling it open. Ally nodded.

"Yeah, I'll have to call dad," she said looking up at the clock on the wall. She crossed the room and walked out of the practice room. "It's a little late but he wanted me to call when I was done." She pulled her phone from her back pocket and walked over to the railing on the second floor landing. She barely got through three names on her contact list before Austin interrupted.

"I'll take you home, no problem." He said, reaching over her shoulder and grabbing her phone. He locked it, held it out to her, and smiled. "It's my fault you're late anyway right?" She shook her head and took the phone. A smile found its way to her face again.

"Yeah, thanks." She said stowing the phone in her pocket again. She gestured for him to go first down the stairs. "I forgot something, go ahead and start the car, I'll be down in a second." He smiled and nodded, heading down the stairs. Ally watched as he made his way across the store and out the door. She walked back to the railing and put her forehead down on to the cool metal. How could she have done this to herself? She couldn't watch him leave without watching him leave. There was no way that she could get rid of these feelings easily, but She could definitely hide them until they lessened. That was the only reasonable sounding thing for her to do at the time. That was all that she could do.

Thanks for the reviews and favovite/alerts. They really make me feel good :]
