A/N: Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while, I've been super busy with school. It sucks :(

Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter, I'm glad you guys liked it! :) Some of you liked how I threw Jesse in there, some of you didn't haha but there has to be a little bit of drama in every story, it can't all be perfect and happy.

Enjoy this chapter, guys!

Oh, and read the ending A/N for super exciting news of mine! If you want to know it :p

Ally POV

I heard Austin trudge down the stairs while I was making breakfast. He shuffled into the kitchen shirtless and walked over, leaning down to kiss my temple. "Mmm, morning," he mumbled sleepily.

"Hi," I greeted, flipping pancakes onto his plate.

He smiled tiredly as he shuffled to the table. "You're the best, Als."

"I figured you'd want your favourite breakfast after last night." I brought the orange juice over before sitting down across from him. "Maci finally asleep?"

He nodded. "Like a rock."

"Good. She was so crabby last night."

"No kidding, I'm exhausted," he replied.

Maci had one of her bad nights, unfortunately, and had kept Austin and I awake for most of the night. Oddly, I didn't feel very tired, considering the circumstances. Maybe that's because I couldn't sleep anyways since I still hadn't told Austin about my run in with Jesse. It had only been yesterday when it happened, so technically it hadn't even been 24 hours yet.

I glanced over at my boyfriend, who was shovelling down his pancakes. "Austin?"

"Hmm?" He took his orange juice before grabbing his phone.

"Um, I have to tell you something."

"Just a sec, I want to see who won the game last night." He scrolled through his phone, hardly paying attention.

I tried again. "It's important."

"Uh huh," he said absentmindedly. "Yes! Heat dominated the Lakers! Dez owes me twenty bucks." He kept scrolling while grabbing another pancake. "What did you wanna tell me?"

I took a deep breath. "Please don't freak out."

"Why would I freak out? Is it bad?"

"Uh, that depends on how you look at the situation," I laughed nervously.

He looked up. Now I had his attention. He put his phone down and looked at me. "Ally, what happened?"

"Well," I started, dragging it out. "Remember when I took Pancakes for a walk yesterday?" He nodded, pouring more juice. "I took her to the dog run, and... Well, she started to chase this other dog that looked exactly like her, and the owner of the other dog was having a hard time trying to catch his dog, so I went over and helped him-"

"Ally, just spit it out."

Before I could stop myself, I blurt out, "We swapped numbers!"

Austin was so caught off guard that he dropped his glass of orange juice onto the floor, it smashing in the process. Orange juice went everywhere, but he didn't even flinch.

"Y-you what?" He stuttered. I couldn't tell his reaction. His face was unreadable.

"This guy is new to the area and he's just trying to make friends, so he asked if I would want to go for coffee with him sometime, as friends!" I defended. "He's a nice guy."

"And you bought it?" Austin exclaimed. "Ally, he wants one thing and one thing only, and that's to get in your pants! He's not interested in keeping things on a friendly level."

My mouth dropped open. "Excuse me?"

"You know it's true! I can't believe you gave another guy your number when you're dating me. We have a kid together, for god's sake!"

"Language!"

"You only said not to swear around Maci. And it's necessary in this situation, I'd say!"

"Austin, you don't even know this guy."

"And you do? How long did you talk to him? Hmm? Five minutes maybe? Or did you have a full on chat and that's why you were gone so long?" Austin was fuming.

"Austin, you're overreacting. You know I would never do anything to hurt you. What, I can't have guy friends? I have Dez and Jace, don't I?" I was practically shouting. He was being ridiculous.

"That's different!"

"How?"

"It just is!" Austin said.

I jumped to my feet. "You have Quinn, Trish, and Leah. Hell, girls throw themselves at you whenever they see you! Do you see me freaking out over that? I'm probably not even going to see Jesse again."

"Jesse? You guys are on a first name basis already? That's just great. Next thing you know, you'll be out clubbing and getting cozy with him behind my back when I'm away on tour!" Austin was on his feet now, too.

I felt like I had been slapped. I can't believe he just said that. Wait, why the hell am I thinking about this? "I can't believe you just said that. Nice to know you trust me."

I stalked past him and ran up the stairs, the tears already flowing down my face. "Ally!" He yelled, but I ignored him and ran through our bedroom and into the bathroom, closing the door.

I slid down the door and let the tears fall. Austin was being absolutely ridiculous. I know it might not have been smart to give a guy my number while I had a boyfriend and kid, but honest to god, people act as if it's illegal to be friends with the opposite sex while you're already in a relationship. I was perfectly allowed to have guy friends who stayed my friends. It's not like I had a bunch. Just Dez and Jace! Anyone who knew me knew how much I loved Austin and that I would never, ever hurt him or leave him for another guy. I was a smart girl, I knew how to handle myself.

Boys and their damn jealousy, I thought angrily as I stood up and wiped my eyes. I pulled my phone out of my pocket.

I texted Quinn and Trish. Got time to go for coffee? I'm in a dilemma.

Quinn replied immediately. Oh no! Of course I'm free. Time and place?

Trish replied shortly after. Duh! Where?

Eleven at Ginger's?

Sounds good, they said.

I turned the shower on and hopped in to freshen up. When I finished, I got out and slowly opened the door to see if Austin was in the bedroom. He wasn't, so I hurried out to change.

First, I checked on Maci. She wasn't in her bed, so Austin must have come and got her while I was in the shower.

I threw on pink skinny jeans with a white shirt and black crop jacket. I blow dried my hair and pulled it back into a long ponytail before doing my makeup.

Slipping on flip flops, I grabbed my purse and phone before heading downstairs. I saw Austin in the living room with Maci.

I stopped at the doorway. "I'm going for coffee with Quinn and Trish."

He looked at me. "I really am going with them," I said impatiently.

"I didn't say anything."

"You were thinking it. I don't know when I'll be back."

"Fine. Bye."

Maci walked over to me. "No, honey, you have to stay with daddy for a while. Mommy's going out." I kissed her forehead before walking into the hallway and out the door.

When I jumped in my car, I set my head on the steering wheel and sighed. I wish I could start yesterday over. Why did I have a weakness for saying no?

I drove off and arrived at Ginger's fifteen minutes later. Quinn and Trish were already inside at a table when I got there.

"I did something incredibly stupid," I said as I flopped down beside Trish across from Quinn. She slid a plate of fries towards me.

Quinn snagged a fry from the plate. "It can't be that bad."

"Oh, it is."

Trish grabbed her drink. "I doubt it. You do tend to overreact about things you think are bad, Ally." She laughed. "I mean, it's not like you gave another guy your number or something."

"Well," I started.

Quinn choked on the fry and Trish spit out her drink. "Ally!" They exclaimed when they got themselves together.

"It's not like I meant to hurt anybody!" I defended. "This guy is new to the area and he doesn't have a lot of friends!"

"Ally, I know you meant well, but honey," Quinn shook her head. "That was not a smart move. Did you tell Austin?" I nodded guiltily. "And?"

"He was mad."

"Mad?"

"Okay, he was furious. But he overreacted, too, and you should have heard what he said to me!" I turned to Trish. "T?"

"Sorry, Ally, but I'm with Quinn on this one," she admitted.

"How'd you even meet this guy?" Quinn asked. "What's his name, anyways?"

"Jesse. I took Pancakes to the dog run and she started chasing his dog," I said. "We started talking and ended up swapping numbers. But you guys know that I would never hurt Austin, or leave him for somebody else. Ever. I love him too much."

"We know, Ally," Trish smiled sympathetically. "He'll get over it. You know Austin. He gets extremely jealous."

"Clearly," I scoffed. "That was probably the worst fight we've ever had. And that's saying something, because we never fight."

Quinn took a sip of her drink. "Look at the positive side of things. At least you know Austin cares a lot about losing you, otherwise he wouldn't have acted the way he did. You're just lucky he doesn't know what Jesse looks like or else he'd be a dead man." Quinn paused. "He doesn't know what Jesse looks like, right?"

"No, he doesn't."

Trish spoke up. "So, are you meeting this Jesse guy again?"

"I don't know," I moaned. "He said he wanted to get coffee sometime but he promised it would be strictly platonic. He knows I'm dating Austin, and he respects that."

"At least he had to decency to tell you that. Most guys don't care if a girl is already in a relationship. They'll do anything to get her," she replied.

My phone rang. "That'll be Austin," I sighed. "This should go over fabulous." I answered it. "Hello?"

"Where are you?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes. "Ginger's with Trish and Quinn. I told you that already."

"No, you told me you were with Trish and Quinn. Not that you were at Ginger's."

"What does it matter where I am then, if you know who I'm with? Keeping tabs on my whereabouts now?" I snapped.

He was quiet for a moment, and I gasped. "Oh my god, you totally are! I can't believe you, Austin, get over it!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll just sit back and relax while my girlfriend is quite possibly out with another guy! Why would I ever care about that?" He replied sarcastically.

"How many times do I have to say it? There is nothing going on between me and Jesse, and there never will be! I thought you knew I loved you and you only, but apparently I was wrong."

"Ally, I haven't even met this guy."

"My point exactly! Look, I am not having this conversation with you over the phone, people are starting to stare. I'll be home soon." I hung up and slammed my phone down.

"Wow," Quinn whistled. "Sounds bad." Trish put her arm around me in a comforting gesture.

"Shoot me," I deadpanned before I threw my head on the table. "This day can't get any worse."

"Ally?"

"Or maybe it can."

You have GOT to be kidding me.

A/N: You probably know who that is at the end. Don't hate me, you guys, I know you're not going to like that Austin & Ally are fighting over this, but it's good that Ally came clean basically right away instead of not telling Austin. It could have been worse! Plus, I hardcore ship Auslly haha.

Who do YOU think is right in this situation? Austin or Ally? Let me know in a review!

OMG, guess what, you guys? I'M GOING TO AN R5 CONCERT ON MAY 10TH FOR THEIR LOUD TOUR! :D :D :D :D I'm so beyond excited, I got VIP and everything, and me and my friend are going! It's in Winnipeg, since I'm Canadian and live two hours away from Winnipeg.

When they announced the Canadian dates, I was like, "well, they probably won't be coming anywhere close, but I just want to check on the website to see where they're going in Canada" and my younger sisters told me, "Joelle, they're not going to be coming anywhere near here, so don't even bother checking." They aren't R5 fans :( sadly. BUT, I checked anyways and saw WINNIPEG on the schedule, and I absolutely freaked! Screamed and everything! :D I ordered VIP tickets right away and was like, "HA, IN YOUR FACES! I'm meeting my favorite band and idols, and YOU. GUYS. AREN'T!" to my sisters :p

My one sister is in love with One Direction. Sorry to those of you who like them, but no. Just no.

I'm sure some of you have met R5 and went to their concert before, so how was it? let me know, I love hearing your stories :)

So that's my rant for the day, haha. Next update will be whenever I can, I start Drivers Ed on Tuesday, so I'll be busy with that.
