There's gonna be a bunch of drama in these next few chapters, just warning you! Welp, on to chapter 22 now :)

Austin and Ally sit in the car in silence for a good 20 minutes. Ally's so confused, how could she love someone so dearly, but hate them equally as much. Austin had his head resting on his arm on the steering wheel and Ally was looking out the window.

Finally, Austin sits up right and starts the car.

"Where are we going?" Ally asks.

"I don't know," Austin replies. "But we seriously need to talk."


They don't say anything for the next hour of driving around, even though the point of this car ride was to sort things out.

Austin clears his throat. "So what do we do?"

Ally ignores him and continues staring out the window.

"Ally, if we're gonna sort this out, you need to work with me on this," he say.

Ally laughs sarcastically. "Work with you?" She repeats. "I shouldn't have to do anything, I'm not the one sleeping with my ex in YOUR house... IN YOUR BED!" Ally yells, louder than intended.

He pulled that ashamed face again, the one Ally was sick of seeing.

"I've suffered enough pain to last me a life time, and I don't need this anymore. You have no idea what you've done to me. I gave you everything and didn't ask for anything in return aside from your love. The love from me? That was real Austin, R-E-A-L. You're never gonna get that with anyone else. I didn't want the fame, or the money, or the lifestyle... I wanted you. And look what happened. You've completely, fucking destroyed me Austin," Ally says through tears.

Austin has nothing to say to that, he just reaches for her hand. Ally doesn't pull away, but she doesn't hold it either.

"What else can I do to prove that I love you?" Austin asks. "I meant what I said back there Ally. You end this, and I end my life."

A shiver goes up Ally's spine.

"YOU are the one who did this Austin, not me. DONT put this on me," Ally shouts. Austin apologizes, and there was an awkward silence.

"So, was she worth it?" Ally asks, breaking the silence.

"What?" he asks confused.

"Elizabeth... was she worth it? Was she worth losing me? Was she worth being the reason why we aren't together anymore? WAS SHE FUCKING WORTH IT!" Ally screams.

"No," Austin mumbles.

"So why Austin, why did you do it? Tell me whats going on in that fucked up head of yours!" Ally's screaming again.

He stops the car.

"Because of you!" He shouts. "I wanted to feel loved, and I wasn't getting that from you Ally. I wasn't thinking."

Ally was mortified.

"Well, excuse me for being SCARE after being FUCKING RAPED!" Ally scream and broke down in tears. Austin starts the car back up and begins driving.

"Take me home now," Ally demands.

"NO! We aren't going home til all this is sorted," Austin says firmly.

He stops at a red light, and Ally trys to open the door to get out, but Austin had the passenger and back doors locked so they couldnt be opened.

"You're not going anywhere Ally, I need you, just like you needed me and I was there for you through EVERYTHING!"

Ally couldn't argue with him, because he was there, every single second of the day for her, so she agreed to stay.


"I still can't fathom as to why you would blame me getting raped as and excuse for what you did," Ally says in disgust, her eyes tearing up yet again.

"I'm sorry Ally. I just, I don't know... I missed your touch. I needed to feel you, I needed to relieve stress, and Elizabeth is always up for it. It meant nothing with her, she's nothing compared to you," Austin says.

Ally cringers at the mention of her name and at the fact that Austin is comparing Elizabeth to her. Ally noticed that Austin is driving the long way to the beach, but she doesn't say anything.

"I need to know of you still love me before I do this Ally," Austin says.

"D-do what?" Ally looks out the window to see where they are. Infront of the car is the sparkling ocean and a cliff edge. Ally freezes on the spot, and realizes that if she doesn't say what he wants to hear, things could end bad.

"I do love you Austin,"Ally reassures.

He frowns. "You don't mean it Ally."

Ally's crying uncontrollably. "Why are you doing this to me? I don't deserve this! Take me home! This isn't my fault Austin you lied and cheated!" Allly said in terror and anger.

"Do you hate me?" He asks quietly.

Ally doesn't answer, because at the moment she does hate him. Suddenly and without warning he steps on the accelerator. Ally grabs ahold of Austins free hand, closes her eyes and screams.

Cliff hanger! Literally, ahaha (that was a lame joke, lol, just ignore I even said that!) Review and stay tuned for chapter 23.
