Chapter 11: Dates and Disasters part 2

Austin's POV

"So, how did you and Austin fall in love?" my embarrassing person of a mother said. I cursed my mother silently. Ally looked shell shocked, as if my mom suddenly started talking like an alien. I could only blame her a tiny bit. My dad saw me eavesdropping on the conversation. From his expression, he looked as pleased to hear my mother's comment as a party guest would be if he saw a strange insect crawling out of his salad. I almost laughed.

Ally's POV

I looked at Mrs. Moon, trying to mask my cluelessness with a look of thought. I poorly succeeded but at least, she didn't look suspicious. I thought of an answer that would sound at least sensible.

"Well, um, Austin and I have been friends for a while," I said, hoping she wouldn't ask another question. My hope was dashed.

"Yes, but how did it turn to love?" she asked, smiling. I wandered around looking for an answer. I looked at the door were a minute ago, Austin had disappeared. He was still there, looking at me an expression that said, Sorry. I nodded. Find a distraction, I mouthed and thought of a satisfying answer for Mrs. Moon. I can only hope he hurried up. But, luck hasn't exactly been in my favor lately.

Austin's POV

I looked around the kitchen, desperate to find a distraction. There was nothing here that wasn't expensive and I really didn't want to owe my parents. Nothing but smoke alarms, I thought. That was it! I rushed to the tall cabinet on the far side of the kitchen. I looked for the matches. I found a lighter and a candle. I lit the candle. Here goes nothing, I thought and I climbed the kitchen counter. It wasn't tall enough to reach one of the smoke alarms. I looked around. I saw an old and tall candle holder on the side of the counter. I guess my mom hadn't deposited it yet to the trash receptacle of she was just too sentimental to throw it away. She was funny with stuff like that. I grabbed it and stuck the candle on top. I waved the candle at the smoke alarm, hoping it would sense it. At first, nothing happened, and then water spewed all around me and the smoke alarm blared with a loud noise. I dropped the candle on the curtain and ran.

Ally's POV

The smoke alarm blared. Water spewed out and drenched everything. Austin ran out of the kitchen.

"Fire!" he said, breaking the shocked silence his parents were in.

"Yeah, we noticed!" I said and grabbed my purse and bolted. Austin and his parents did the same. We watched the house that rained inside for a few minutes before the alarm security showed up. Neighbors gathered around to see what was going on. One of Austin's neighbors and also cousin came out first.

"What happened?" she asked in a concerned tone. Her name was Aurora, and we were really good friends. She took the same classes I did, although she was fifteen.

"Well, the curtains went on fire," Austin said, nonchalantly, as if it was a normal occurrence. Aurora raised her eyebrows in question. Austin turned to me.

"I'll take you home, Ally," he said and I nodded. I said goodbye to Aurora and she said the same back and asked me to call her. I told her that I would.

A few minutes later

Austin drove to my house. Along the way, someone gave me a towel. I hung onto it, like a priceless artifact. Austin and I didn't talk at all. I guess because we were sort of shocked about what happened. Not the 'supposed' fire but because of what Mrs. Moon asked me. We arrived at my house. I came out and headed up the gravel walkway.

"Ally," Austin said. I turned and faced him.

"Yeah?" I asked. He shook his head, a clear sign which said 'Don't Bother'

"See you," I said but he had already driven away.

Ally's Room

I played a few notes on the piano and looked at the song book. The book had been a birthday present from Aurora, which made it all the more special. I flipped the pages to look at some of the other songs I wrote. I selected one at random and played the notes and began to sing,

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor

Reachin' for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind

For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now

Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now

And I don't know how I can do without

I just need you now

A rattle sounded through, ruining the nice country mood. I looked down on my window, wondering if it was a thief. It wasn't. Something snapped in my brain:

Austin Monica Moon was hanging on the perch of my windowsill in my room, ten feet from the ground.

Hey! Chapter was longer than I thought. Anyway, the rules still apply. If you want to be in the story, just send your name, short physical description and personality. It would really help a lot! For this week, I used Aurora, who is Seasonal Music. Thanks!
