Hey guys! No I am not dead! Lol I've been pretty busy lately. High school's got me mixing up my regular schedule.
Who's excited for the new Austin&Ally?! I am! Ugh! Friday come faster! And Christmas needs to come faster too.
Okay, I know you all want to read and find out if Ally's okay. So here you go!
***WARNING: May have some violent acts and more swearing than usual***
~Chapter9~
Last Time…
"Anyways!" Dez ignored her comment. "She told us that she talked to you guys and that you told her about what happened to Ally."
"Which we didn't." Isabelle added. Dez nodded.
"And then Trish asked her where she was, and she said she was taking a jog by the Hollywood sign." Dez continued.
"But that's the thing, the Hollywood sign is almost a 45 minute drive from the Venice, considering traffic, and Ashley said that she spoke to you guys only 5 minutes before. So there's no way that she had gotten there that fast." Trish added.
"And you," I pointed to Ryan and Isabelle, who were intensely listening to us. "just said that you never even saw Ashley."
"No..." They said in unison. "Which means..."
Trish nodded, horror in her face and fear in her eyes. "Ashley has Ally."
Austin's POV-
As soon as Trish said that, I didn't even think twice. I sprinted out of the room, grabbing my car keys and cell phone. I bolted through the front door and rapidly pushed the button for the elevator. The one time I need the elevator to be fast, it takes it 50 years to get to the top. I groaned in aggravation and frustration. I tapped my foot, impatiently. I spun around and saw the door for the staircase. That will have to do. I thought to myself. I pushed the door open and it revealed nearly 12 flights of stairs.
"Legs don't fail me now." I said to no one in particular. I started down when I heard the door open behind me.
"Austin!" They all hollered behind me. "Wait!"
"What?" I stopped abruptly. "Why? We know where Ally is! Don't tell me you don't want to save her!"
"Of course we do!" Isabelle caught her breath.
"It's just that we need to think of a plan. We can't just barge in, thinking that it'll be an easy job and end up getting out asses beat senselessly." Dez added. I ran a hand through my hair.
"So? The plan?" I asked.
Ally's POV-(I bet you've been waiting for this…)
I woke up with a sharp pain in my wrist and neck. I sat up and realized that my hands were tied and so were my legs. I tired to squirm out but it wasn't working. Hoping to find some sort of sharp object to cut loose, I scanned the room, unfortunately, there were only a few empty boxes, chairs and a ladder. Where am I anyways?
"Oh, good morning, sleeping beauty." A familiar voice said. "Well, obviously not as pretty as me, but you're a close 100th."
"Yeah, you really are pretty…A pretty ugly bitch!" I spat. She stepped out of the shadows and crossed her arms.
"Tsk tsk, someone didn't get enough sleep last night," She walked closer to me and pinched my cheeks. I moved away from her. "C'mon, Ally, I thought we were friends."
"Well, you thought wrong. You thought that I couldn't see past that cute little act you put on in front of Austin, but oh, I saw it from the minute Dez opened the door." I hissed. She smirked.
"Well, aren't you observant." She acted all innocent. I rolled my eyes.
"What do you want? Why am I here?" I asked her. She started walking around me.
"Let's just say it's a little thing I'd like to call," She came up close to my ear and whispered. "Revenge."
"Why? What did I do?"
"Oh it wasn't entirely your fault, although you did play a big role." She explained. I raised my eyebrows.
"A big role in what?"
"Austin broke up with me, you clueless bitch!" She scowled. I was taken back. Part of me wanted to cheer and rub it in her face, but another was too scared to do anything. "He broke up with me and said that there was someone else. And I figured it was you, since you two are pretty close."
"Austin doesn't like me." I insisted. She merely laughed.
"Oh, please. Then tell me why he gave you a promise necklace?" She asked me. I thought about it and looked down at where I last saw the necklace, but it wasn't there. I began to panic. I looked around, searching for it. She laughed again. "Don't bother looking for it."
"What did you do with it?!" I questioned her, shouting.
"How do you think I let Austin know?" She smiled evilly.
"Well, that was stupid of you. He could've seen you and recognized you and knows it's you." I assured her. She shook her head.
"Oh, Ally dear, I'm not that ignorant. I made this idiot do it for me," She pointed to some guy by the door. I didn't even see him there. "And I made him call him right after he left the necklace in your little book."
"And?"
"And, he now knows that he only has a few hours to find you or else." She merely responded.
"Or else what?"
"I think you already know." She said. I gulped. I shut my eyes and began praying for Austin to come. Even though, I'm still completely pissed at him, I want to get the hell away from this psycho maniac. She exited the shack because she said she needed to make a phone call.
"You," I said to the guy sitting in a chair looking through his phone. "What time is it?"
"A 'please' would be nice." He didn't look up from his position.
"Yeah, considering that you never said, 'Hey, I'm going to kidnap you. Come with me, please', it's less likely that you'll get a simple 'please' from me." I retorted. He groaned and I saw him swipe the screen with his thumbs.
"It's 2:30." He said. I nodded.
"Thank you." I thanked him with an emotionless tone. I quickly got bored so I started asking questions. "Why are you doing this?"
"She paid me. I have nothing against you, I'm just in great need of money. I'm trying to get into college, and these days, money is rare for people like me." He explained. I suddenly felt bad for him. "She really is mean to everyone, so don't feel like she's only torturing you."
"So what now?" I asked. He shrugged.
"You really think that Austin dude is gonna come and get you?" He broke the silence that fell on us. I sighed.
"I know he is." I stared at the door. "He's coming, he's coming. I know he is."
"Okay, I get it." He told me. I rolled my eyes. "I should check on her." He got up and slowly opened the door. "She's doing a video chat. With some people, one red-head, a black curly haired one, and a blond-"
"Austin!" I gasped. I started squirming. "Austin! Austin! Help!" I screamed, hoping it was loud enough that he would hear it. The guy ran over to me.
"Shh!" He covered my mouth. "He can't hear you from all the way in here."
"Well, I want him to find me! You've got to help me." I begged. He stood back for a second. "Please." I pleaded.
"Okay," He finally agreed. I smiled. "Here's the plan." He whispered it into my ear and I nodded. Then he walked back over to the door and opened it. He turned back to me and nodded. "Ashley!" He shouted to her. "Will you come and help me? She won't shut up!" I gasped, well then! But I knew it was all in the plan. "She keeps nagging on and on how Aus-"
"Shut up, Bradley!" I heard Ashley's faint voice snap from outside. Bradley jumped and shut the door quickly.
"Okay, she's getting off the phone now. You've gotta act like we never made the plan, okay?" He quickly said. I nodded. Just then, Ashley stomped into the room.
"What the hell, Bradley!" She barked.
"What did I do?" He asked. She rolled her eyes.
"You damn know what you did! Now, they know where we are!" She yelled.
"Technically, they only saw the shack, they didn't know where it was." He reminded her.
"Yes, but I told them I was by the Hollywood Sign!"
"How was I supposed to know?!" Bradley rebutted.
"Yeah, it's technically you're fault that you told them." I added. Which was probably not the best idea. Ashley whipped her head in my direction. I didn't know what she was about to do next. She went over to me and slapped me. Hard. I squealed in pain and I could already feel my cheek start to burn and itch.
"Shut up!" She spat. I just glared at her and refrained myself from crying from the pain I was feeling. "Bradley, I'm tired of looking at her."
Before I could question anything or anyone, everything went black again.
Austin's POV-
"Ugh!" I slammed my fist on the steering wheel. "Can this damn traffic move any faster?! My grandma can move faster than this!"
"Relax, Austin." Dez patted my shoulder. We took two separate cars. Me, Trish and Dez went in mine, and Ryan and Isabelle went in his. They were getting the police while we headed to the Hollywood Sign.
"How can I?" I tapped my foot on the floor. "We're so close in finding Ally. I-I just want her to be here. With me- I mean us. Safe. I want to apologize to her so many times that I can't perform anymore. I want to tell her how much I need her and how much she means to me. That…"
"That what, Austin?" Trish asked from the back seat.
"That I love her." I choked out. Then my thoughts wandered off in a different direction. "But what if she doesn't want to talk to me, let alone, look at me! She thinks that I'm some good for nothing jerk and a poor excuse of a best friend."
"She will, Austin." They reassured me. "She will."
My breathing got shorter and shorter and my heart beat pumped faster as we neared the Hollywood sign. I found a spot for to park my car. I got out and sure enough, Ashley's car was on the other side of the parking lot. I began to run up the trail up to the actual sign, frantically looking left and right for the white shack. I was about half way when I stopped. I was out of breath.
"Hey Austin." I heard Trish said. I turned my head up and saw her and Dez standing there in front of me, unbelievably not gasping for air.
"How'd you guys get up here? And why aren't you out of breath?" I panted. Trish rolled her eyes. Dez pointed to bikes that was parked by a tree.
"We biked."
"What?" I gasped.
"Yeah, they had bike rentals by the parking lot." Trish said, in a 'duh' tone. "You could've gotten one, but you were already half way up."
I finally caught my breath and continued to walk.
"Austin!" Dez shouted. "Over here!" I ran over to him.
"What? What? Did you find it?!" I questioned him. He looked at me confused.
"What? No, I found this really cool looking rock and-"
"Dez!" I cut him off.
"Hey, geniuses, over here." Trish said. I walked over to her and saw a little white shack less than 50 feet away. "She's in there." I walked closer and recognized the guy from the video chat. He saw me and jogged over. I stepped back.
"Relax, I know you're here for Ally. She told me all about you." He eased. I smiled. Ally was talking about me. "I'm trying to help you."
"How can we be sure that you're not going to turn on us?" Trish accused. He raised his hands.
"You know when I called over to Ashley during the video chat?" We nodded. "I did that on purpose. That was my plan with Ally. To get you guys to see where we are. And it looks like it worked."
"Oh," I said. "Well, thanks man."
"No problem." He said. "Ashley left a few minutes ago."
"But we saw her car in the parking lot." Trish reminded us.
"She took my car."
"Well, that wasn't very smart of her. Then now we know that she really did it." I scoffed.
"Yeah, she's been doing stupid things lately. This being one of them." He smirked. "Ally's inside."
I quickly ran through the door and looked around for Ally. I saw someone or something move in the back of the shack. I moved closer.
"Ally?" I said, quietly.
"Austy, it's so good to see you again." A female voice appeared out of nowhere. My whole body tightened.
"Ashley." I said through my teeth. "Why?"
"Oh, let's just say it's a little payback. You took my fame away, and so, I took your precious Ally." She answered.
"Where is she?!" I commanded. She held up her hands.
"Oh, she's around here…somewhere-" I cut her off, moving closer to her, grabbing her arm.
"Cut the shit, Ashley! Tell me where the hell she is!" I shouted.
"Now, now, Austy, let's not get touchy. You wouldn't want little Ally to get hurt, now you we?" She escaped my grasp. She snapped her fingers and two other guys came out from the shadows. One was holding Ally, the other a gun.
"Ally!" I shouted. I tried to take her from them, but the one with the gun aimed it at me. I stopped dead on my tracks.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Austin." Ashley smirked. "Anything that doesn't agree with my plan, goes against Ally."
"I swear on my life, Ashley, you hurt one single hair on Ally's head," I threatened. "You'll be sorry."
"Ooh! I'm so scared!" She mocked. Ashley pointed to the guy holding Ally. "Put her on the ground and guard outside with that pathetic excuse of a kidnapper, Bradley. And make sure no one else is out there!"
He nodded and laid Ally carefully on the floor and then followed the rest of his orders. He disappeared behind the door. Ashley knelt down next to Ally.
"She really is pretty isn't she, Austin." She asked me. I clenched my fist. "It's too bad that she'll never know-"
She got cut off by the guy from outside peeking his head in the door. "We, uh, have a bit of a problem." Ashley groaned. She and the other 'henchman' walked out of the shack. Not the smartest thing. I ran over to Ally quickly, and shook her lightly.
"Ally, Ally? Wake up, Alls." I said, desperately. She began to wake up, and I nearly jumped for joy. "Ally! Thank God, you're okay!" She looked at me scared and tried to back away. "Alls? It's me Austin."
"A-Austin? I-is it really you?" She leaned in closer, trying to make out my features. Then her face lit up like the Fourth of July. "Oh my God, Austin!" I untied her and she tackled me in a hug. I figured she was crying because I felt a wet spot on my shirt.
"Shh," I hushed her. "It's okay, Ally. You're okay."
"I-I thought that I-I would never see you again. I-" She sobbed.
"Ally, it's okay. I'm here now. You're safe." I assured her. "You're gonna be okay. C'mon, let's go out through the back." I helped Ally up to her feet and we walked through the back door. I took her hand and lead her through the pathway. We arrived at a clearing when Ally let go of my hand. I spun around.
"Ally, what are you do-" My eyes went wide.
"I wouldn't take another step Austin." Ashley stood behind me. One hand on Ally's arm, and the other held a gun, pointed at Ally. "Now, that wasn't every smart want it."
"Ashley, don't do this." I said, sternly.
"Oh, Austin, but I will." Ashley assured. Her grip on Ally tightened and I stepped closer. "Ah ah ah. One more step and she gets it." Ally looked at me in desperation. I gave her a reassuring look.
"Ashley, you're being ridiculous and over reacting." I exclaimed.
"P-please, Ashley." Ally trembled.
"Be quiet, Ally! You caused all of this!" She shouted, pressing the gun closer to her.
"What did she do?" I asked her.
"She took you away from me! And she took my fame!"
"You never had me, Ashley. I always loved Ally, no matter how many times you tried to convince me that I was just feeling bad, Ally was always the one." Just then, guns clicked and Ashley spun around, and the police were aiming their guns. She let go of Ally and slowly raised her hands. Ally bolted for me and I cuddled her in my arms. They took Ashley away and Ally began to sob again.
"Austin, I was so scared." She said into my chest. "I know that I'm supposed to be mad at you. You were a complete ass for doing all this stuff. Standing me up, treating us like crap, not showing up for the meeting with Jimmy-"
"Ally." I quieted her down. She looked up at me. "You talk way too much." I chuckled and leaned down. I pressed my lips against hers and that part of my that felt like something was missing suddenly turned complete.
I don't really like the ending. I felt like it's still missing something. But Hey! They kissed! I mean c'mon, finally! Right?! Lol Again, I'm sorry for the long wait! I just want to thank you for all the reviews! Only chapter 9 and already 150 reviews!
Quick question, what would you say if I made another sequel to Fate or Just Pure Coincidence? I'm not saying that I am, but if I did would you read it? And what do you want it to be about, story plot wise?
