I don't own Austin and Ally :( or Leoni Meadows :( or Super Summer Sabbath School :(
I feel really sad to day for some reason. :(
Austin POV
I stirred in my sleep. Someone turned on the light and was talking to me. I just buried my head into my pillow. I heard them come closer. Then words started registering into my brain.
"Austin!"
"I thought you and Ally were mad at each other?"
"CALLED IT!"
That last one was Elliot. Ally started waking up too.
"Whaa-" she yawns. "What happened?"
"My family just caught us sleeping in the same bed." I whispered in her ear. Her eyes got wide.
"What time is it? Is campfire over? I gotta go back." Ally started to get up, but my mom blocked the door.
"No one is leaving until we get an explanation of what happened here." She said, crossing her arms.
"Mrs. Moon, I came back to apologize to Austin. I told him the entire story, and he accepted my apology." Ally explained. My mom looked at me, I nodded, then she looked back at Ally and motioned for her to continue.
"We fell asleep on his bed after he accepted, and then you came in. Nothing else happened, I promise." She assured her.
"Nothing else? Man! What's wrong with you?" Elliot said. If looks could kill, Elliot would be dead to me, my mom, and Ally.
"Okay, Ally. Thank you. You can go now. But I'm assuming you're gonna tell your parents about this, if not...tomorrow at breakfast I will." My mom threatened.
"Yes, ma'am. I will." With that, Ally left.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Ally POV
"Where did you go? We couldn't find you after campfire." My dad said right as I was coming in the door. I have no idea how he knew when I was coming.
"I went to apologize to Austin and explain to him what happened." I explained. They knew the story, so I didn't have to get into it.
"Why did it take so long? Didn't you leave in the beginning of campfire?" My mom asked.
"Well, yeah. It took longer because I fell asleep with Austin on his bed." I could already see the steam coming out of my dad's ear. "But nothing happened!" I said really fast. "That's all. All we did was sleep. Austin's family came back and woke us up. We told them that too." His seemed more calm, but still slightly angered.
"You're sure that's all that happened?" My dad asked, trying to stay calm.
"Positive." I said, not missing a beat.
"Okay. I'm gonna go to sleep." He changed into his pajamas and crashed.
I fell asleep that night finally happy. Happy that Austin is okay. Happy that my dad is okay. But most of all, happy that I was okay with myself.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
The next morning, I slept in big time. All was good, though. Because everything started late due to Sabbath. I woke up at 9. Breakfast was great. I didn't really see Austin, though. He came in as I was leaving. He must have been really tired, too. I actually went to breakfast in my pj's, being too lazy to change.
"Hey, Austin. Sleep well?" I asked him.
"After Elliot stopped asking me questions and went to bed, yeah." He said, smiling. "Why are you still in your pajamas?" He asked, looking me up and down.
"I didn't want to get my church clothes dirty, and I didn't want to change into clothes, eat, change into my dress, go to church, then change back into those clothes. It makes so much more sense to go to breakfast in my pajamas." I said in one breath.
"Well, I'll see you at church, then?" He asked. I nodded. We went our separate ways.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
I changed into my dress and waited for my family to be ready. We finally left the cabin. After walking for less than a minute, bikes rolled by. Familiar blonde hair poked out under a helmet.
"Walk faster." I heard Austin say.
I scoffed. "Ride slower." I answered, and he just kept going. I shook my head in amusement.
We kept walking to church, which wasn't that far. When we finally reached the outdoor church, I saw Austin, Dez, Elliot, Cassidy, and an empty seat for me.
"I'm gonna sit over there." I told my family. They agreed and I walked over there.
"Hey guys. Is this seat taken?" I asked, sitting down.
"Actually it is. We're waiting for this beautiful brunette. Have you seen her?" Austin said. I shoved him a little.
"Hey. No violence." He said.
"Awww." Elliot said.
"Can't we have a little violence?" Cassidy said.
"Nope. No violence." Austin said, trying to contain his laughter.
We sat together, singing along to the songs, and listening to the speaker. Whenever the speaker said something emotional, I reacted in some way. Something shocking or scary, I gasped. Something funny, I smiled, giggling a little. Something sad, I rubbed my eyes. Every time I did something, Austin chuckled at my emotional state.
I finally said something about it on the way to Sabbath School, which was in an air conditioned room instead of outside. "Why are you laughing at my emotions? Are you cold-hearted or something?"
"I just think it's cute that a story can make you feel the way you do. I had some emotions, just didn't express them, because they weren't that strong. Don't worry. I think it's adorable that you do that." He said, booping my nose.
I smiled, and he took my hand. We walked like this until we reached the auditorium. The Sabbath School was awesome. They did Science experiments that involved fire and explosions. It was called Super Summer Sabbath School, or S4.
We actually sat with our families during lunch. That's like, the first time that happened.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Austin and I actually didn't spend the afternoon together. Not because of anything bad, but we just agreed we needed to spend time with our families.
Austin POV
After lunch my family decided to go mountain biking and hiking and swimming in a cold river. Yippee. Note the sarcasm.
We biked down the road, then on a path through the woods. After a while, we got off and walked, because it was waay too rocky. And my family loves mountain biking, so when I say waaay, I mean waaaaaaaaay.
We trudged up the mountain to the creek. We stayed for about 2 hours, then decided to head back to eat.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
"Hey, Ally." I greeted her, then pulled her close and kissed her head. She smiled. "How was your afternoon?" I asked.
"Great! We went on the train ride, to the old house, and..." She trailed off, looking a little sad.
I noticed immediately. "What's wrong?"
"It's just that-" her voice caught in her throat. "We-we used to also go to the nature center on Sabbath." A tear escaped her eye. I pulled her in for a hug.
"It's okay. We can go to our own little world right now. Do you wanna?" I asked her. We were both done with dinner. Another tear rolled down her cheek. I wiped it off. She nodded.
I took her hand and lead her out of the cafeteria. We walked hand in hand toward the tunnel. Soon enough her head rested on my shoulder. I loved it when we walked like this.
We finally reached the open space, and we sat down on the log. She looked up at the sky, almost waiting for the stars to appear. They wouldn't for a while. The sun was still up, sorta.
"I love the sky here. It's always alive. Like, I don't like a cloudless sky. Clouds make the sky interesting. And the stars... They are always so majestic when there isn't city lights drowning them out." She said. I looked up, and all I saw were meaningless faint clouds in a dim blue sky.
"I...I don't get it." I said. "Those clouds look ugly. They're so faint. They don't even have shapes, not even with my imagination."
She looked at me, then back up. "Those 'ugly clouds' are made of ice crystals. They aren't the thickest clouds, but they're still awesome. Yeah, they don't really make shapes, but they're still amazing." She paused for a moment, then went on. "And the dim blue sky is just as fantastic.
It's dim because the sun is going down. Soon enough, it'll be black, but here, when there's the slightest bit of light, the stars still don't come out. It's not until about 10 or 10:30 when you can see all the stars. But when you do see all the stars, your breath is taken away."
She stopped and looked at me. I was smiling. "What?" She asked me.
"Did you know you're cute when you talk about anything?" I asked. She blushed. "How do you have an entire speech about the sky? I can barely say a sentence."
"I just look at everything, Austin. I see the entire thing, but all the small parts at the same time." She told me. She started sounding very philosophical. I kinda liked it.
We sat there, thinking. I kept looking around, but my eyes were repeatedly landing on Ally. I can't believe I have her in my life. I smile at that thought. Just as my smile came, Ally's fell.
"What?" I asked.
"It's just that the week is almost up. How am I gonna cope with 51 weeks without you?" She said, her voice cracking at the end of the sentence.
"Ally, look at me." I took her hands and she stared into my eyes, having her full attention. "Nothing will be wrong. I'll go back to my house, and you'll go back to yours. We'll live our lives normal again." She was getting sadder, I knew it by her body starting to become more limp. "But," I said, and she stopped. "with the technology these days, we can see each other or talk to each other every day. I could text you, you could text me. Video chat for when we want to see each other. Calling when all we need is to hear each other's voice. And then, when we get to see each other in person again next year, how happy we will be." I said.
She smiled, and then spoke up. "Did you know you look cute when you talk?" was what came out of her mouth. I chuckled and looked down, redness creeping to my cheeks.
"It's getting late. We should go to campfire." She suggested.
"Yeah. We should." I said, standing. I took her hand again and we traveled to campfire. The whole way there I had a smile on my face, thinking about how much I love this petite brunette holding my hand.
Done! Okay. I think there's one, maybe two chapters left in this story. Tell me if you want a sequel. If there are no reviews, no sequel, because I am literally out of ideas for this story, like for this chapter I was running on empty. That's exactly how I felt. But, it's here.
Anyways, I had a great time at camp! The guy became a really great friend, but just that. He sat next to me once and kept making me laugh. (panda, I'll tell you about that later...) That's about the best thing that happened between us. Sorry to bore you with my life!
