I do not own Austin and Ally

Chapter 11, Ally's POV:

Just a few minutes ago, I overheard Dallas talking to his friend Josh. What I heard infuriated me:

Josh: So you only said yes to Ally to upset Brooke?

Dallas: Yeah, and it worked! She took me back and we're going to the dance together.

Josh: How'd you break it to Ally? 'Oh, sorry but I'm dumping you and going with Brooke instead. I was only using you to make her jealous?'"

Dallas: I just told her that I was asked by both, said yes to both, and chose Brooke in the end. She seemed to understand.

(End conversation)

I ran off to find Austin after that, but I could faintly hear Josh yell at Dallas for being "insensitive."

I think I like that Josh kid.

Right now I'm heading right toward Austin and Trish, who are sitting in the food court. They haven't noticed me yet.

As soon as I reach the table, Austin gets up suddenly and ends up standing right in front off me. We're standing really close, and he looks really scared. What were they talking about before I arrived? Or maybe it's because of the angry look on my face.

Austin laughs nervously, "Oh, hey Ally. What brings you here?"

"Austin…I've changed my mind," I say.

"What do you mean?"

"I...I want you to make Dallas pay," I say, emphasizing the word "pay."

"Wait…Ally Dawson wants revenge?" Austin says as Trish starts to cheer,

"I thought I'd never see the day! I'm so proud of you Ally…Oh, I have so many good ideas of how to get him!"

"No Trish, I want to do this alone…" Austin says.

"But Trish is the best at revenge!" I say.

"I just want to have a talk with him…but before I do, I want to know; what made you change your mind?"

"I overheard him and Josh talking. He said that he was just using me to make Brooke jealous. He never planned on going with me."

Austin has fiery look in his eyes…like he wants to kill someone. I've never seen something make him so angry before.

The anger suddenly turns to relief,

"So you're aren't angry at me or Trish?"

"No…Should I be?" I say, shooting him a suspicious glare.

"Uh, no, of course not! Duh…I'm just gonna go find Dallas…"

"Why do you care so much about this?"

"Because Ally…I care about you," he says, staring me right in the eye.

I stare into back into his eyes…they're so big and brown, and they're piercing into my soul. I'm not sure how to respond to what he just said. I mean, It's not like he's never said he cared about me before, or that I didn't believe it, it's just…the way he said it just now…

It sounded like there was so much more he wanted to say.

Austin's POV:

It's taking all I have right now not to lean down and kiss Ally. She's staring at me with those big brown doe eyes. Ugh! What is wrong with me? Why don't I tell her? If I don't soon, I probably will kiss her and then things will be really awkward.

"Ally…I…" I star, but I can't finish.

"I have to go," I say as I run off.

'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!' I mentally scold myself as I bang my fist up against my head.

I always make a fool out of myself in front of Ally now. I used to be chill!

ALLY DAWSON, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!

I need to forget about what just happened for now and find Dallas.

I decided that I just want to talk to him, but I know that I can't guarantee that I won't lash out and hit him. He hurt Ally, and I won't let him get away with that.

I find Josh hanging out by "Billl's Surf Shop." He probably knows where he is.

"Josh!" I yell.

He turns to me,

"You talking to me?" he looks shocked that I'd want to talk to him.

Sure, I signed a record label and am getting more and more famous each day, but I'm still the same Austin that he's been going to school with for years now…

"Yeah, I need to ask you something; where's the jerk, Dallas?"

"I agree; he is a jerk. And I'm pretty sure he went to the Library to work," Josh says.

"Thanks."

I get on bike and start riding toward the library as fast as I can.

I want to yell at him when I get there, but I'm obviously going to have to get him outside of the library first.

I park my bike and walk through the doors. I immediately spot him; he's sitting at the check-out area, laying his head on his fist.

When I get closer, I see that he is nearly asleep.

I grab a big, heavy book and drop it onto the counter next to him, causing him to jump up and scream.

"Shhhhhhhhhhh!," A bunch of people around us hiss.

"S-sorry…Are you checking out?" Dallas asks.

"No, I'm here to talk to you….privately…" I whisper.

"Uh…okay?" He says.

We get outside, and I'm about to start yelling when I stop myself. There's so much I want to say, but I don't know where to start. I end up simply saying, "Why?"

"Why…what?"

"Why would you hurt Ally like that? Why would you use her to make Brooke jealous? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT HURT HER?!"

"Whoa dude, chill. Ally is a nice girl and all, but I just like Brooke. I've already gotten a scolding from Josh, anyway. "

"You just don't get it! You told Ally yes when you didn't plan on actually going with her. You used her. Then, when your plan succeeded and you got Brooke, you lied to her…again!"

Dallas tries to say something, but I cut him off,

"You're missing out, ya know? Ally is amazing, and you had a chance with her. She really liked you. And you know what? You don't deserve her. Ally would never have used someone to try to get someone else!"

Dallas starts to smile,

"I see what's happening here. You like her! That's the real reason why you're mad; She likes me and not you!"

I immediately regret what happens next. I throw my fist and punch him right on the jaw.

I couldn't take it anymore! How could Ally have ever liked that jerk?

"S-sorry!" I say as I run back over to my bike.

Why am I saying sorry to that jerk? He deserved it!

I ride home with tears in my eyes. He's partly right; it crushes me that Ally doesn't like me back…does she? I guess I wouldn't know. I'll never know until I ask her…until I tell her how I feel.

Every time I consider it, a bunch of "what if's" run through my mind.

I can't live my live on "what if's" anymore. I have to take risk.

I have to get myself together. The Sadie Hawkins' dance is starting soon, and I have to pick up Ally. I don't really have any nice clothes, so I just put some black skinny jeans and one of those shirts that have a picture of the front of a tux on it. That seems good enough.

"I'm leaving to pick up Ally and go to the dance, k mom?" I yell into the kitchen.

"Ok, drive safe and have fun!" she yells back.

I can't wait to see Ally. I'm sure she looks amazing in whatever she is wearing.

Usually when I pick Ally up from somewhere, she's waiting on the porch. But when I arrive today, I see no sign of her.

I wait for 5 minutes, and then I go up to the door and knock. A few moments pass and Mr. Dawson answers,

"Oh, hello Austin! Ally is in her room. She's nervous about going to dance," he lowers his voice, "Cause of Dallas and all, ya know?"

"Oh, okay. Can I go up?" I ask as I gesture to the steps.

"Sure, go on ahead!"

I go up the steps and knock on the door,

"Ally, you okay?" I ask through the door,

"No." she says.

"C'mon Ally, forget about Dallas. Don't let him get in the way of you having fun at the dance!"

"But…It'll be so weird!"

"Please open the door so I can see you."

I hear her get up and walk over to the door. She slowly opens it.

"You look beautiful Ally! He's sure to regret losing you. Now c'mon, let's go have fun without Dallas." I say. [1]

She smiles and takes my hand, "Okay."

[1] I'm not good at describing how I imagine what she's wearing, so you guys can just imagine her wearing whatever you want.
