Chapter 22
The drive to New York was long, but of course it was to be expected after all they drove from Miami, but all Austin wanted was to get to Ally. They have been apart for way too long. She was about to graduate from MUNY this weekend, so Austin and Dez drove up early to see her. And Trish, Dez wouldn't really admit it, but he missed Trish and their insults. All Austin knew was that he was definitely ready to see Ally. It had been a long long journey, but thanks to his therapist Austin was ready to move on from the past and move on to a future with Ally. They had pulled into New York around midnight and they were at their hotel just down the street from Ally's dorm. Austin wanted to go right away, but Dez reminded him that Ally was asleep, that it wouldn't do anyone any good at this time.
So Austin bregrundgely decided to wait. What was to be expected? They have been separated far too long, by either of their own choice or by mistakes that were made. But Austin finally got around that if they waited this long, and then a measly few hours wouldn't be so bad.
Dez was fast asleep in his bed. Man Austin sure lucked out when he landed Dez as his best friend. After all these years, Dez still remained on his side no matter what kind of crap Austin threw at him. Dez may have gone away for a bit, but he always had Austin's back. Just being the driver all the way from Miami was amazing. Austin was a nervous wreck that he was afraid he would get in a wreck if he drove.
In just a matter of hours he and Ally will see each other for the first time in months.
He has never felt so excited or nervous in his life. But he was ready. Austin was tired of putting his life on hold. He and Ally should have been together all this time. If it wasn't for foolish choices and mistakes. But Austin has learned that it was too late and regrets them. He couldn't change what happened, all he could do was learn from it and move on. He and Ally deserve for a chance to be happy. And Austin knows that they can.
Austin looked over. The time saying 4:00 am. He sighed. Looks like he wasn't going to be sleeping anytime soon. Austin gout up from his bed and changed into his clothes that he wore the day before. Maybe some air will help him calm down. Austin made his way out of the room, carefully not to wake Dez up. Austin then made his way down to the lobby and out the doors. New York was amazingly beautiful the tall buildings and skyscrapers were breathtaking.
Even at 4 am the town was still alive. It really was the city that never sleeps. No wonder why he couldn't. Austin made his way down the street, not having any particular destination in mind; he just walked until he noticed a small diner that was opened. Running across dodging the taxi's that were still running, Austin made his way to the diner, opening the door, Austin made his way to a free table. Maybe some coffee and pie will help him figure out these thoughts.
The waitress came over and he placed an order for a coffee and apple pie ale mode. The waitress went to place the order in, leaving Austin alone.
He sighed.
Austin couldn't help but think back to the time he and Ally first meet. A smile lit up his face as the memory came to him. Who knew corndogs and drum set could start something that would mean the world to him. And he wasn't talking about his career. That changing moment in time brought him something that would mean everything to him. They shared something so special and a once in a lifetime thing that Austin couldn't or would change.
Ally was his and he was hers. And that is how it would always be. Austin was lost in thoughts he didn't hear the waitress come back and place his pie and coffee in front of him. She just smiled at the young man in front of her, must be thinking of a woman. There was only one reason why a young man would look like he was at that moment. She just left him alone and prayed that everything would work out for him. She didn't know him personally, but love is a very special thing and she hoped even for a stranger that it would work out.
Austin added some cream and sugar to his coffee; he couldn't help but notice how those ingredients went so well together. They were both so different and the same time too. When you put those together it worked and tasted so good.
It was after 4 am so excuse him for his scattered thoughts. After finishing the coffee and pie, Austin still remained there. The sun was coming up and the reflection of the light on the city was a truly beautiful thing. He could so imagine living here with Ally.
Them having their own place in the city while Ally chases her dream. Austin trying to revive his career, not necessarily performing but something in the music business. He knows he has a way to rebuild his imagine and to get people's forgiveness for his stupidity and blind selfishness. But this time instead of aching at regret, Austin would work hard and prove people that he was the Austin Moon that they first fell in love with all those years ago.
He knows it would take a lot of work. But he was willing to do it. Because he would have Ally at his side. Austin could imagine the laughter and smiles, the tears and the fighting as they knew that he wasn't foolish to think everything would be perfect. They are both passionate people, so they would be fighting, but they wouldn't let it tear them apart. It would make them stronger.
Austin could even imagine the time coming and he asking for her hand in marriage. He would be a nervous wreck, but knowing that the nerves was only because he wanted it to be so perfect. When they finally would become one, he wanted it to be right and perfect. He would try and make the perfect dinner, of course being pancakes and pickles as he really doesn't know how to cook anything else. With his nerves so bad, he would burn dinner and she would just laugh.
God her laughter was like nothing else in this world.
He would take out the ring, and she would cry. He isn't afraid to admit that he probably would shed a few tears himself. They would make love all night to celebrate.
The wedding would be magnificent.
Ally Moon.
He just loved the thought of them sharing the same name. Austin Dawson even if she didn't want his last name. He just wanted to be the same. A family that he knew they were always meant to be. And if he closed his eyes he could even imagine their children.
One Boy, One Girl. The perfect combination of both of them.
Time was passing him by and before he knew it, it was after 7 am. Austin shaking his head cant believing he spent over three hours here; he must have really been lost in thoughts.
But where they ever so good thoughts. A smile lit up his face as he remembered. He and Ally would have that. No matter how long it would take. He would make sure they got their happy ending. Austin made his way to the door and to go not noticing he bumped into someone.
'Excuse me I'm sorry..."
"Austin…"
Who else could it be when two soul mates were in the same place?
It was Ally.
Questions about why he was here sooner than expected. Smiles when she realized that he couldn't wait to see her. A feeling of completion when he did come and see her.
Joy. At seeing his face after song long.
Proud. At seeing the man in front of her becoming like they boy she first meet.
Tears. She missed him so much she felt like she could actually breathe now since he was here. She could touch him and hold him and this time she would not let go.
They walked for hours and talking like they didn't have a care in the world. They laughed and they cried at how much they really missed. The difference in Austin was astounding to Ally. Of course he would still have the wounds, but he wasn't letting them control his life anymore. He told her about all what he has been through with his therapist.
Ally couldn't be happier for him. She has been holding his hand ever since the diner. It was almost night time now.
Wow did time really go by that fast. But she wouldn't change it for the world. She called Trish and let her know what is happening. Trish told her to be happy and that she would be gone by the time Ally would get back. Trish said she would be staying with Dez in his room. Those two definitely have bonded over the years it seemed. Their banter was some sort of sexual tension that was only how those two could have.
Austin and Ally made their way back to her dorm, No words were said as they came together. Clothes falling off as their bodies melted together. The moans of two lovers who finally were reunited could be heard throughout the room. Austin thrusted into Ally and every time he did, his tears fell from his face. This is what it felt like to be one and to be completely healed. There was no more shame, no more doubts.
They were Austin and Ally. And they are what they will always be.
The power of their joint orgasm shook them to their core, they collapsed against each other. Ally smiling ad Austin looking completed. Both of them not bothering with covers, but letting their naked bodies enjoy one another. Austin pulled Ally towards him and they made love well into the next day.
By the time the graduation came, Ally and Austin were completely together. The ceremony was amazing. The sight of seeing Ally accomplishing her dreams? There was nothing better than that. Afterwards the four of them made their way to Times Square and meet up with Tony and Jessie. It was kind of surreal after what happened to be together again. Tony and Jessie had gotten married and are now living in a small apartment in the unit that Tony had. She no longer works as a nanny as she is trying to accomplish he dreams at last.
Dez and Trish admit to Austin and Ally that they decided to try dating. To see where it would take them. Austin and Ally couldn't be happier for their friends. They slowly made their way back to their room, as they were packing Ally's things as she was graduated and it was time to leave. They made love one last time as Austin couldn't get enough of her, and if Ally was honest, she couldn't get enough of him either.
They eventually got an apartment together in the same unit those The Ross family lives. Dez had managed to get Jimmy to unfreeze all of Austin's assets as he was promised that Austin would be careful with it. So they got their penthouse over Manhattan. It truly was perfect. Dez and Trish had eventually left to go back to LA, as Dez's career as a filmmaker was beginning to take off. And Trish was his manager.
The years were very good to them, Austin eventually got his wish, and Ally Dawson became Ally Moon on December 7, 2017. Six years to the date they had first meet in Sonic Boom. They welcomed their first child Alec Moon the following December and their baby girl Alyssa the December after that.
What can they say? They love the month of December.
Ally became a very successful singer and song writer in her own right. Austin did manage to reclaim his career and was more popular than ever. They didn't waste a single second of the second chance that they received. They worked hard at it, there were fights and tears and moments were they thought it would all come crashing down. He stormed out, she would cry, she would storm out and he would go crazy. But their love was too strong to let anything tear them apart.
Their love story was a story their grandchildren love to hear. Alec and Alyssa both were grown with their own family's but they always a gathered at Austin and Ally's just so the grandkids could know their grandparents.
Even when death finally tore them apart, Austin died of a heart attack a few months after that Christmas; Ally knew he was still with her. And when she finally joined him in ever after, He was by the gates of heaven waiting for her.
"I was waiting for you." Austin said.
Ally smiled. "I know, I was waiting to come home to you too."
"Alec and Alyssa will be alright without us. We can watch over them from here."
"I know."
"Just come here, It's been a while since I got to hold you." Austin and Ally hugged. And they knew they would be alright. After everything that they been through, they would be together.
They would be Face to Face.
