The next morning came quickly. Ally woke up at about 4 much to her annoyance. She sat up careful not to wake Austin. She pulled out her book from her bag and went to an empty page writing in it. She looked over at her sleeping friend. Despite the fact he'd been asleep, his hair still sat pretty much perfectly. She put her book up one she had finished. Austin mumbled something in his sleep and Ally smiled pulling away from him gently. Austin rolled over grabbing her waist pulling her back. Ally looked at Austin wondering if he was awake or actually still asleep. She sighed lying her head on his chest watching him continue mumbling on about random things. She heard his phone going off. She glanced over at it to see Dez calling him. She picked it up. "Hey Dez." She said. "Hey….you're not Austin." He said. Ally laughed softly. "No. It's Ally. Austin's asleep." She said "Oh right." Ally sat up a bit. "Everything okay?" she asked. "Yes. Just wanted to call Austin up and talk to him." She laughed again. "At 4:30 in the morning?" she said. "Yep. I sometimes do that." Ally nodded. "Okay. I'll wake sleeping beauty up then." She said and Dex laughed. "He might be a bit grumpy when you do." Dez warned. "Don't worry. I know how to get him to do things for me." She said. She turned around to have Austin looking at her with one eyebrow raised and smirking. "Do you now?" he murmured. He took the phone from her and Ally shook her head. He went off upstairs getting changed while talking to Dez.
Ally changed into her normal clothes downstairs and then went upstairs sitting on the couch. She watched outside waiting for Austin. Austin came out of the bathroom next to his parent's room and went down the stairs quietly not to wake him parents up. He came up behind Ally tapping her on the top of the head. Ally shrieked but Austin covered her mouth before she could wake his parents up. She turned her head half glaring at him. He smirked taking her arm pulling her out of the house. He was still talking to Dez as they walked down the path towards the beach. She looked around the place. She'd never seen it so quiet. Even some nights there were still people around but it was completely quiet now. They stopped at the beach sitting on the sand. "Alright Dez. Bye." He hung up. Ally looked at him. "Don't worry. He does that sometime." He said. "And coming down here?" She asked. He smiled. "It's nice watching the sun rise. When he does this I always come down here." She nodded looking as the sun started to come up. Austin looked at Ally. "So you really think you can get me to do what you want?" He said. Ally looked at him and shrugged. "It's just something I said." He smiled crossing his arms. "Well, we'll see if you really can later." She nodded slowly.
They both sat on the beach watching the sun coming up. Ally ran her hand through the sand letting it run through her fingers. She started making patterns with the sand. She sighed lying back looking up at Austin. He looked at his phone. "It's 6:30. Wanna go get something for breakfast?" he said. "Alright." She got up following him off. He took her to one of the cafes. The two of them sat down. "Alright. What do you want?" He said looking at her. She shrugged. "I don't really care." He smiled. "Then we'll just get pancakes." He said. She smiled at him. "Honestly, you're like a little kid." He poked his tongue out at her. The waitress came over. She smiled at Austin. "Hey Austin. What can I get you?" She asked twirling her black hair around her pen. "Just the usual but make it double." He said. She smiled. "Extra hungry are we?" she said practically ignoring Ally. "No. Ally-cat needs to eat as well." He said flashing the girl a smile. She glanced over at Ally and grumbled something. Ally just looked at the table. She was used to people being like that about her with Austin. The waitress looked at Austin. "I'll be right back." Austin returned his gaze to Ally. "No hurry." He said. Ally swore the waitress lost it after that. She quickly walked off in a huff.
Ally froze feeling something on her. She glanced at Austin who was smirking slightly. He ran one hand up her leg gently. "Y'know." He said softly. "This is driving that waitress crazy." Ally looked at him and smiled. "Well, if that is, what would she have thought about yesterday?" She said. "Let's find out then." She gasped feeling him pull her over to him. She felt his lips on hers a second later. She kissed him back gently. He pulled away after a minute. The girl then came over giving them their breakfast and quickly left. Austin laughed softly. "You're lucky we're the only ones here right now." Ally said. Austin nodded. "I never thought of that." He murmured eating his pancakes. Ally smiled shaking her head.
Once they finished, they headed off towards Sonic Boom. She suddenly stopped. Austin looked at her and then over at the shop where she was starting. He gasped. The doors had partly been ripped off their hinges. Inside was a complete mess. Instruments were all over the floor. The store room door had also been forced open and been damaged. The practice room's door was on the floor and inside was a mess. What had been on the walls was either on the floor or damaged on the wall. Ally ran over towards the shop only to have Austin grab her holding her against him. "Don't go in there. Someone may still be in there plus we don't want to move anything." He said. He pulled out his phone calling the cops. They came round quickly. Ally held onto Austin burring her face in his jacket. "Tell me this is just a nightmare. I can't have it all like this. Dad will be so mad about it." She whimpered. Austin sat down sitting her in his lap watching the cops look around inside. "Alls it's okay. We'll sort this." She looked up at him. "How are you so sure?" He brushed her hair back out of her face. "Cause I promise you it will. And until we get the store back to normal you'll stay with me." She smiled softly.
The cops came over after a while. "Alright. We've got everything we need from the shop. You're welcome to go inside now and you can get things set up again." He said. Ally nodded. She pulled away from Austin going into the shop. She ran up the stairs looking in the room. The place was an utter mess. Sat down in one of the chairs in the room. Austin came in a few minutes later with Dez and Trish. "I got some help." He said going over to Ally. She looked up at him and nodded. He cupped her face in one of his hands. "You'll be alright. We'll be right here for you." He gave her a quick kiss. "C'mon. I'll get you through this. I promise." She got up. He smiled taking her downstairs. Trish ran over hugging her best friend. "Don't worry Ally. We'll make it through all this." She nodded. "Alright. let's get cleaning up." The four friends went from one end of the store to the other cleaning up, fixing things, and making things respectable again but Ally was still worried about what had happened. "What I want to know is why the alarm didn't go off." Ally said eventually. The other three looked at her. "It should've gone off but it didn't." Trish thought for a minute. "Maybe the disabled it?" She nodded. "Probably." She sighed softly. She didn't like any of this at all.
