Chapter 7

Hey guys. I don't know is this chapter is any longer, but I have been working really hard on it. I hope you guys enjoy it anyway. I don't own Austin and Ally. Enjoy!

Ally's P.O.V.

One week later

"Hey Ally!" Austin shouts down the phone as soon as I pick up. "Wanna go out tonight?"

"You know I'm going to Amy's 18th birthday party" I laugh. He can be so forgetful sometimes.

"Oh yea. Can I come?"

"I really don't think that's a good idea. You know Eddie will be there, and I haven't had the chance to speak to him yet." I say as I open my wardrobe door, looking for something to wear.

"But I miss you"

"You were here last night" I laugh.

"Yea, but I had to leave early, since your dad came home" he sighs. "When are you going to tell him I'm back?"

"Soon, after I've told Eddie" I sigh, picking out a casual blue denim dress, with gold studs on the collar and some blue wedged heels on my feet.

"Tomorrow then?"

"Sure, come round at 10 tomorrow and we'll tell him"

"Ok, see you later Ally-Gator. Love you"

"Love you too" I say, laughing at the nickname I haven't heard in ages. I hang up the phone after. Changing into my dress.

Over the past few days, I've spent every moment I could with Austin. And I don't regret it. I've remembered everything great that happened between us, and I'm so happy he's back. Now when I say "I love you" I mean it 100%.

I look in my mirror and decide to straighten my hair, change it up a bit. I add dark blue eye shadow and a natural lipstick. I slip on my shoes and grab my purse and Amy's present.

"Looking amazing once again" my dad says when I walk downstairs.

"Thanks dad" I smile at him as I walk out the door towards the cab waiting for me.

"Be careful, don't do anything I wouldn't" my dad shouts as I walk away.

"I wont, I promise" I reply laughing.

Tonight I can finally be honest with my friend, and sort things out with Eddie. Hopefully I'll be able to catch them before everyone's drunk to much.

When I get to the club, the lights are already flashing, the music playing loud. I bodyguard crosses my name off the list and I enter the club. The dance floor already crowded with what looks like the whole school, I know exactly where I'll find Amy. And sure enough, as I reach the bar, there she is, with Tommy, Rosie and Olly standing close by.

"Ally!" Amy shouts as soon as she sees me, leaving Tommy in mid conversation. "Are you ok? We haven't seen you since the whole drama at prom"

"I'm fine" I laugh, sitting next to her on a stool at the bar. "Happy birthday" I smile, handing her the present.

"Thank you!" she smiles, hugging me. "So, what actually happened at prom? Who was the guy?"

"That was Austin"

"THE Austin? Miami Austin?"

"That's the one"

"No way! You said you hadn't seen him in 3 years" she shouts over the music. By now Rosie and Olly have crowded round us as well.

"I haven't! That's why I was so shocked, then Eddie started to fight with him, and I just couldn't handle it" I smile, ordering a non-alcoholic drink from the bar.

"So what's happened? Who are you with? Eddie or Austin?"

"I really like Eddie, but we haven't even been out really. We're just really good friends. Then there's Austin, I have a massive past with him. I cant just let go of those years we were together"

"So you're with Austin?" I nod my head in answer as I sip my drink. "That's awesome Ally! I mean, when you first moved here, you wouldn't stop telling me about him!"

"How come I never heard about him?" Tommy shouts.

"Yea, because you would understand!" I laugh.

"So have you told Eddie yet?" Amy asks.

"Not yet. I haven't seen him since prom. Is he here yet?"

"No, I don't think so…"

"Yea he is, he's just over there" Tommy shouts, pointing to the entrance. I climb out of my seat and walk over to him. Dodging all of the guys from my school, some of them already drunk.

"Hey" I smile as I'm close enough to him.

"Hey" he smiles. I notice his eyes keep looking at my lips, but he doesn't do anything. "You look amazing"

"Thanks" I smile.

"You wanna go get a drink?"

"Um, before we get to drunk, can I talk to you?"

"Sure" he smiles, taking my hand and walking over to an empty area away from the music.

"What's up?"

"About prom…"

"I cant tell you how sorry I am about that. Can we just forget about that blonde guy and move on?" he says gently taking my hands.

"That's the thing. I cant forget about Austin." I take a deep breath before telling him anything else. "Eddie, I never told you about this, but Austin and I have a massive past. When I lived in Miami, he was my boyfriend. I fell completely in love with him, but then I moved away. I thought that I had started to move on, but I really haven't. I still love him"

"Oh… I see" he sighs.

"I'm sorry Eddie. But you know as well as I do that we would never have worked out. We're just to good friends"

"Its fine, I understand" he smiles. But I can see the pain in his eyes as he drops my hands.

"Wanna go get that drink? I think we could both use one" I smile. He nods his head in agreement and we walk to the bar together.

"And their back!" Rosie shouts, making it obvious that she had been drinking a lot in the short time I was away.

"6 shots please!" Amy shouts to the bar man.

"Anything for the birthday girl!" he shouts back, winking at her before he turns away. Tommy flinches before putting his arm around her, showing the bar man that she is taken. Both me and Eddie laugh as this happens. We are all given a shot each, and Rosie counts down.

"5...4...3...2...1...drink!" and we all do as we're told, drinking all through the night.

Later that night

Its around 1am when I decide I need to leave. I had been drinking, but only enough to make me feel a bit dizzy. I'm not completely wasted like Amy, but it is her birthday, so she can get away with it. I say goodbye to everyone before walking to the exit. I take out my phone and start to dial my dads number, but then decide against it. He'll probably be asleep by now. I call for a cab instead. As I wait outside the club, I feel hands slip around my waist. I quickly pull away out of shock, and turn around to see Austin stood there.

"You scared me" I laugh.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to" he smiles.

"What are you doing here?"

"Surprise?" he laughs. "I just wanted to make sure you were ok, but they wouldn't let me in"

"Well, your name wasn't on the list, so its not that surprising"

"So, how drunk are they?" he asks, slipping his hands round my waist again.

"Extremely. I had to leave"

"At least there is someone sensible here" he smiles, leaning down and gently kissing me.

"NO! Get your hands off her!" shouts a voice. Me and Austin pull away, and I see a very drunk Eddie stumbling towards us.

"Eddie, don't start this again" I shout.

"No! you haven't seen this guy in 3 years, I've been there for you when he hasn't. But you still chose him!" he shouts at me.

"Don't speak to her like that!"

"Ally, please" he says, shoving Austin out of the way. "I… I love you" he says. His face only a few centimetres away from my face, a strong smell of alcohol coming from him.

"Eddie… you need to go home. You've had way to much to drink, you don't know what your saying""Yes I do. I love you" he says before leaning down and pressing his lips hard against mine.

Hey guys.

I know I've done this before, but its only because I have something to tell you.

Lately I've been getting a couple of messages on here from people giving their opinions on my stories, and lets just say they weren't the nicest things I've ever read. I replied to them in the nicest way possible, but I didn't get a good response back. I'm not going to name and shame, but these people know who they are. As much as I know you should never let these people get to you, its very hard to ignore such cruel things.

I've also had a few people saying that my chapters are short and they want me to write them longer. Which I think is a fair comment, if you think there to short, I try to make them longer. But sometimes I purposely make them short, because if I kept some going it would end up being really boring and annoying. I'm not trying to offend people who make these comments, because it is a totally fair opinion.

Another reason some are so short is because I like to update them, but somtimes I'm so tired. I live in England, and I'm in year 9 at school, which means I get to pick my options for what I want to do in the future. As my friend Leah knows, I haven't been in the greatest mood for the past few days (or weeks, whatever), and she's been an amazing friend to put up with me during this. So having to decide about my future is only making me more stressed. But I find writing these chapters really calm me down, but sometimes I don't get enough time to write them really long. Its not that I really want to reach a deadline, its because I find it really calming and fun to do. And sometimes it's the best thing I can do.

I'm not trying to create excuses, but I just wanted to tell you guys what's going on. Once again, I'm not trying to offend anyone, I just wanted you guys to know the truth.

(sigh of relief)
