I DON'T OWN AUSTIN AND ALLY.

Chapter 14, Ally's POV:

Today's Sunday, so I'm supposed to go to church, but I told my mom I was sick. I'm not really sick, just tired. I didn't sleep well last night because I was so upset about with Austin. With the help of some music, though, I was able to eventually get some sleep. I had the weirdest dream though.

I was dancing on a cloud with care-bears, and Austin was performing with them. Then Barney showed up with a bazooka and destroyed the care-bear village. I started crying when Chuck Norris appeared and killed Barney. He then challenged Austin to a dance-off, which Austin won. Austin and I hugged and then we all shared a big bowl of fruity mint swirl. Weird dream, right? [1]

Anyways, my mom just texted me a minute ago telling me that she was on her way home, and that she had a surprise for me when she got back. I love surprises! I wonder what it is. Hopefully it isn't something disappointing like the last time she told me she had a surprise. It turned out to be a new pair of socks.

My mom suddenly burst through the door,

"Guess who I saw at church?!" she exclaims. She looks like she can't wait another second to tell me

I open my mouth to say something, but before anything comes out, my mom begins to speak again,

"Nevermind; don't guess. It was Elliot, your old camp friend!"

Yes, a good surprise! I met Elliot a few years back at camp, where we became good friends. I haven't seen him in a couple of years, but we kept in contact through buddy page and such. He has so much in common with me! He likes cloud watching, which Austin hates, he likes to read, which Austin also hates, and he knits too! Plus he's sensitive, unlike Austin.

'Why am I comparing Elliot to Austin?' I ask myself.

"Yay! Why didn't he tell me he was coming to Miami?" I finally say. I was so busy jumping up and down in excitement I almost forgot to respond.

"He probably wanted to surprise you!" my mom begins, "He's going to be here for a week! He says he wants to spend as much time as possible with you!"

He is seriously, like, the sweetest guy! Maybe getting over Dallas won't be as hard as I thought…

I brush it off and call Trish. She picks up immediately,

"GUESS WHAT?!" I yell into the phone. I suddenly hear what sounds like her dropping her phone. I guess I yelled a little bit too loud.

"Gosh Ally, I don't want to go deaf. What is it?" She says, sounding annoyed.

"Remember that boy Elliot I told you so much about?"

"How could I forget? You talked about him so much before you met Austin!"

Before I met Austin? I guess that's true; I haven't talked about him as much since Austin and I became partners. And then there's that crush I had on Dallas…yeah, that's probably why.

"Well, he's here in Miami this week! You guys can finally meet him! Yay!" I'm yelling so loud I'm sure anyone within 10 feet of Trish would be able to hear me.

"That's great Ally!" She says, not sounding very excited.

"I know! I admit that I actually kind of hope he asks me out…" If you'd seen him before, you'd be thinking the same thing. He's got dark brown hair like Dallas, and beautiful hazel eyes. Not to mention he is super sweet! He wouldn't use me like Dallas did.

"Well he'd be the perfect match; he's boring like you! Kidding, kidding." She laughs.

"Thanks Trish," I say sarcastically.

"I got to back to work now. My 10 minute break ended, like, an hour ago." Typical Trish. She can never hold a job for more than 2 days.

"Ok, talk to you later," I hang up.

I go and sit down at the kitchen table with my mom. She starts asking me questions about what's been happening in my life since she's been gone. You see, my mom had traveled to Africa to study Ape behavior for a year, and just last week she finally came home. It's so nice to hang out with her again, she's understands me better than dad. I love my dad, and I love hanging out with him, but you can't talk about boys with your dad, ya know?

"So how are things going with 'Team Austin?'" she asks.

"It's going great! Austin has already sold 3 million copies of his album," I say.

"An album full of songs that you wrote! I'm so proud of you, my little Ally-gator," She says as she pulls me into a hug. "I love you," I hear her whisper. I'm about to say 'I love you too' when my phone begins to ring. The song "Better Together" is playing, which means it must be Austin. I ask my mom to excuse me and run up to my room.

Should I answer? Well, I wanted him to apologize, but if I don't answer, than I'm not really giving him a chance to. I don't want to be like that, so I answer.

"Hello?" I say quietly.

"Ally…I am SO sorry," he begins, "I didn't mean to yell at you, I wasn't mad at you! I feel horrible that I made you cry!" Is he crying? That's not like Austin. I guess he really is sorry.

"It's ok, Austin," I say.

"So you're forgiving me?" He says, sounding surprised. I guess he thought it would take a lot of begging.

"Yes, of course," I reassure him.

"Oh thank God. So I was wondering, are you gonna hang out with me and Dez at the mall today? Trish says she's busy."

"Is it ok if my old camp friend Elliot is there too?"

"Oh, he's here? Uh…I don't mind," he says, but it doesn't sound like he's ok with it.

Austin's POV:

Well, this is just great. I have 1 week before Cassidy is here and expecting a date from me, I have a mad crush on Ally, and now some boy Ally likes is coming. I think Ally told me about him once, but I don't remember much about what she said, just that she sounded like she really liked him.

I suddenly remember that I still haven't figured out what to do about Cassidy. I can't just date her when I plan on breaking up, that's wrong. But I just don't see how I could tell her that, after all of that trouble I went through to get her, I don't want to date her anymore. I guess the only solution is to tell her that I love Ally. I'm just afraid of how she'd react…

I'm already at the mall right now, cuz I was rehearsing with my dance crew. We're done practicing now so I'm just waiting for Dez to meet me here at Mini's. I ordered a mini pizza, but I don't feel like eating anymore.

"MHMM PIZZA!" I suddenly hear from behind me. Dez comes rushing over and stuffs the whole pizza in his mouth.

"Dez!" I yell, but I honestly don't care.

Dez is dressed up extra wacky today. He's wearing orange and yellow striped pants with red suspenders and a yellow shirt with a kitten on it. I don't understand him, but still, he's my best friend. I don't care if I'm seen with him.

"So what's up Austin? You look kind of bummed. Is it because I ate your pizza? I'll buy you a new one," Dez says.

I'm bummed because of Elliot, but I'm not going to say that.

"No, Dez, it's not that. I'm just…tired," I lie.

"Oh, then have this energy drink I created for you. I call it, 'Austinergy!'" He pulls out a bottle with my face on it.

"Dez, I think we need to stop with these 'Austin' products," I say. I realize now that the whole "Austin" body spray, foam spitter, and life-size chocolate bar thing was stupid. Who wants to smell like sweat? Other than Dez, of course.

"Suit yourself, I'm keeping them though," he says as he begins to drink the "Austinergy."

I'm about to ask him what's in the drink when I see Ally and some boy approaching. It must be Elliot…

[1] This dream makes a lot of sense compared to the kind of dreams I have.
