A/N: Hey, guys! So, I'm well aware that it's been a while and that this is quite short, but I do have good reason. First of all, I went back and edited over nearly every single Changes chapter and made it better than it used to be, so, hoorah! I'm bettering my story. Second, I started yet another story on Wattpad. (I really need to stop doing this, I'm well aware, but I feel like I need to get my thoughts in writing before they disappear. As Augustus Waters once said, "My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations." Basically me.) So, I hope you guys forgive me for all that! Here's a new chapter, enjoy. :) x

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin & Ally, nor am I associated with Austin & Ally.
The early morning light filters in through the window and hits Austin's face just right in his sleep. His hair is a mess, with his mouth slightly parted and a light snore escaping his lips. I smile and trace my finger over his arm.
He spent the night with me, obviously, and I was beginning to wonder what was going to happen now that he was the one away from college for a change. I know how he is under the hard interior, he's a GPA freak and he'll be wanting to get back to classes as soon as possible... I had classes here, though, and I had no idea how this was going to work out.
But for now, I let him sleep, because I liked watching how peaceful he was when he was in another world. His every feature was softened, and there wasn't the normal crease of his forehead from his scowl. All was calm, and I could feel the light pulse of his heart from where he had me pulled into his bare chest. Outside my window the city is the loudest thing ever, but here, three stories up and laying beside the love of my life, everything is quiet besides the thump in his chest, reminding me that he's still here... He's still with me.
At some point within the next hour he begins to stir. He seems slightly confused when he opens his eyes, but his gaze meets mine and his features relax. He chuckles, "Well, good morning."
"And you," I yawn, rolling out of bed and going into my bathroom to brush my teeth. He comes in moments later, attempting to fix his hair in the small mirror.
"So, what's the plan?" He asks, and I raise my eyebrows at him as I continue brushing.
"What do you mean?" I ask through a mouthful of minty suds.
He shrugs. "For us, I mean. Like, obviously I can't stay here and you can't stay in Miami, so what do we do? Wait it out until breaks and stuff?" He frowns, "I'm really not fond of that idea."
I spit and rinse out my mouth before replying, "I'm not fond of it either," I frown, thinking of my options here, "I'm honestly not near as happy at this university as I thought I'd be... Maybe I should trans-"
"Hold up," he says, interrupting me, "you can't just leave. I'm basically rich, Ally, and I know this school is expensive. I bet your parents would be pissed."
"Parent." I remind lightly before I remember that he doesn't know the difference like it seems like he should.
"Sorry," he mutters, "anyways, I just can't let you do that for my sake."
"It's not for your sake," I promise him, "it's for mine, too. I'm really not happy here, and I know my dad misses me, he wishes I hadn't come here in the first place, actually. So maybe it's for the better. From what I remember University of Miami had a pretty good music program."
He shrugs. "It does," he agrees with me, "but I still don't like the whole idea of this... I don't know." He sighs, and I wrap my arms around his torso. He kisses the top of my head.
"I'll talk to my dad about it." I promise, and he nods slowly. I release him from my grip and he whines, and I just laugh, heading to my closet to pick out an outfit for the day. I steal one more glimpse at Austin, who is sitting on my bed with his arms crossed, and I can't help but wonder if this is all too good to be true. Something tells me it isn't, though, and that maybe it's all going to work itself out this time, just maybe.
A/N: So yeah, pretty short... I'm on vacation right now but I should be able to update again soon. I'd say there's 6 chapters left at the most before the third book in the trilogy, which I'm not sure when that will be released yet. (Don't worry, it won't be too long of a wait!) Hope you guys liked it despite the length. Something is better than nothing. Don't forget to review, favorite, and follow! Much love. xx
