Chapter 5

Ally packed the last of her stuff and got ready to go to the airport. Her parents insisted on taking to the airport, to see her off. Her father looked like he was going to cry any second. Ally sat in the backseat of the car keeping to herself; she was depressed but knew she was doing the right thing.

Ally was also nervous but knew where she was going and had money to get to the school. Once there it was the admissions building and finding out where her dorm room was. She had a private room which was fine. She was going to have to get used to being alone.

"Ally honey, we're here." Her mom called from the front seat.

Ally and her parents got out of the car. Ally's dad got her suitcases and headed in with Ally and her mom bringing up the rear.

"Honey, what airline are you on again?" Her dad asked.

"American Airlines daddy." Ally said.

"Alright honey let's get you checked in." Her dad said. They walked up and Ally got her boarding pass and got her bags checked in. Her parents could only go as far as the security gate.

Ally turned around and told them "This isn't goodbye; this is until we meet again."

Her dad hugged and started crying. Ally pulled back and looked at her dad. "Be strong dad, I'll be back on break before you know it." Ally told him not trying to tear up.

Then Ally hugged her mom goodbye too. "Ally Cat be good and take care of yourself. If you need anything call."

"Thanks mom I will. As soon as I get settled in I will call you and let you know my address and phone number and everything. I promise you guys. Well until we meet again." Ally said.

Ally's POV:

Mom and dad are sad to see me go. But what kills me is Austin didn't come and tell me not to go. I guess I really did lose him. I turned around and waved bye to my parents one more time.

Ally continued on through the metal detector and the scanner as did her carry on. After both were deemed clear she went to the terminal and presented her board pass. The lady told her they would be boarding shortly. Ally was leaving for New York

Meanwhile at Austin's House:

Austin took the CD out and put it in the CD player and sat down to listen to it. By the time the song was over Austin understood everything. Ally was not happy she was very depressed but told him she was happy. Also the lyrics made sense to him if he saw her walk by and she is crying look away, because then he would be sad seeing her cry, but if he doesn't see her cry then he will be happy.

It hit Austin like a ton of bricks Ally loved him and decided that he should go with Kira no matter how much it ate her up inside and she was on her way to New York in a matter of minutes he could never get to the airport in time. Austin then and there realized the magnitude of the decision that Ally made. She wasn't going to be able to handle seeing him with another woman. She left not because of the school, but what it would do to her.

Austin stood and said "GOD I am so STUPID!" Luckily his parents were at the mattress store so no one heard him yell.

"Now I have lost Ally forever." Austin said. Then Austin noticed a card attached to note on the CD case. It was the card from the flowers he gave her. The inscription read "There's no way I can make it without you." For Austin it hit home.

Austin cried for what seemed like an eternity, he had hurt the girl he truly loved and let her get away. He had betrayed her. As well as betraying her heart and her feelings.

Austin finally pulled himself together and called Trish and asked her to come over he needed her help.

When Trish Arrived Austin told her about the song and the card taped to the back of the note on the CD.

"Sure I knew about it Austin, it was unknown to Ally. I put it there. Because you dumb jerk, Ally couldn't make it without you, but now you realize that too little too late. Ally left-so in her mind you and Kira could live happily ever after." Trish told him.

"Two more things you should know Austin that Ally said to me last night. She had a single room no roommate-so she could get use to being alone. Number two she took a teddy bear with her and said "Teddies don't hug back, but sometimes they're all you've got." Trish told him.

Tears rolled down Austin's cheeks. It ate him up inside. Kira was not the girl for him. ALLY WAS!

"Trish I have to go to New York, I have to get Ally back." Austin said.

"How do you expect to do that?" Trish asked.

"Well I haven't worked that out yet, but I'm sure groveling will be involved." Austin told her.

"How are you going to get to New York and what will be your reason for going to New York?" Trish asked him.

"Easy you're my manager get me on either a morning show or one of the late shows as a musical act. I know that a lot of late shows are done from L.A. but thier must be at least one done in New York still. Trish you're my manager, book me and get me up there I must tell Kira that we are over." Austin declared.

"Only now does the old saying hold true Austin. You don't know what you have until it's gone." Trish told him. "Now Austin listen to me and listen well. I will help you this time, but if you EVER hurt Ally again like you did behind that stage, so help me God, you know what, no so help YOU GOD…"

"Trish I get it" Austin said.

"Now get on the horn to Kira I will try to book you a gig, somewhere in New York. This is the last time I will save your butt." Trish said.

"Trish one question what if Ally won't take me back?" Austin asked.

"Well as your manager and Ally's B.F.F. I will go with you. As soon as Ally texts me the address we will show up, me announced, you unannounced. Now Austin get single so you can date Ally, like you should have done in the first place."

"I hope this works." Said Austin dialing Kira's number.

"Yeah for both your sakes." Said Trish under her breath.
