Chapter 2: Siblings & New Starts
Ally was nervous. She was on her way home from her first tour. And this meant she would have to face Austin, her newly found brother, who she was also in love with.
She thought the universe was being cruel to her. Giving her a brother that she didn't want. Of course she wanted Austin, but not in the way she should want him. She wanted to kiss him, to touch him in a too intimate way.
"Hey! Are you gonna get outta my cab or not?!" Ally was snapped out of her thoughts, the cab driver yelling at her.
Ally smiled, handing the cab driver money, and getting out of the cab. She grabbed her bags, and began to walk into the mall of Miami.
Upon reaching Sonic Boom, she sighs in relief. Austin wasn't there yet, which meant she could get a breather to herself for a few minutes, at least. She parks her bags by the bench that's close to the door, and scurries up to the practice room.
Her heart stopped. She had been wrong, Austin had been here. Except he sat at the piano where they normally wrote their songs. Ally had never felt so uncomfortable around him before. She felt like her heart was being shredded into pieces, ripped out of her chest, and squeezed to death. Ally had never felt like the universe hated her so much.
"Austin," is spat out of her mouth. She knew the instant she said it, it was an impulse. And boy, did she regret it.
Austin looked up at her, shocked by her presence in the doorway.
She cleared her throat, "What are you doing here?"
"I needed a place to think," said Austin, "Now I know that we really need to talk."
Ally shook her head, "There's nothing to talk about, we're siblings. And that's all we'll ever be."
Austin's eyes shone with tears, "Ally, that can't be true. It can't be."
"It is true, Austin. I heard it decreed in front of a full crowd." She told him.
He shakes his head, "That doesn't change the fact that we feel things for one another."
Ally snapped. "Austin, stop. I can barely handle being the responsible one here. Yes, I love you. I love you the way a sister shouldn't love her brother. I can't handle this pressure."
Tears had formed in her eyes now, scattering down her face. She wished this was a different universe, where she wasn't related to Austin by blood, where she kiss him in an intimate way. But instead all she could do was cry over the pain she currently felt.
Austin whispered, "One more."
"What?" She asked.
And he spoke to her softly, "One more kiss. I know it may be wrong, but I yearn to feel my lips on your flesh. Just one more kiss, and then I will be the brother you deserve."
Ally stared into his eyes, seeing the pleading, the honesty within them, "One kiss. Just one kiss. You understand?"
Austin nodded his head while she shut the door behind her, locking it. Just to make sure no intruders would witness the horror that would happen.
The two joined together, kissing. Ally wrapped her arms around Austin's neck, tangling her fingers in his hair. His hands were around her waist, pulling her closer, as if there was no such thing as being any farther apart.
When his lips starts to linger from her lips, his fingers traveling to the hem of her shirt, was when she was pulled back to reality. She pushed Austin away from her. His eyes were full of fear, and he looked broken, sad even. Not because of the broken kiss, but because he would never be able to kiss her again.
Ally spoke, "We can't do any more than that ever again. No more kissing. No more sex. We are brother and sister, you and I."
Austin looked torn, but all he did was kiss her temple, and said, "My dear sister."
A knock came at the door, and Ally hurried over to it, unlocking it. There stood an unfamiliar figure.
He was tall, hair was dark, short, and unkempt. He smirked in the doorway. And Ally could only hear Austin squeak out, "Todd."
Todd only smirked wider, "Who else? Did you miss me, Austin?"
Ally turned to Austin, "Who is this?"
Austin turned pale, "This is Todd, one of my good friends."
And somehow, in that moment, Ally knew how to break Austin's hold on her. And it broke her heart.
