Chapter 23:)

"AUSTIN SHOR MOON I FUCKING LOVE YOU!" Ally screamed in fear. Austin slammed his foot down on the break, and the car skidded. All closed her eyes tighter and thought this was it. Austin squeezes Ally's hand tight, and that very second, everything flashes before her...

The day she met Austin playing drums with corn dogs, the time he taught her to slow dance, when Austin left Ally for his career, their ruinion, first kiss, everything. It skipped to all bad things, showing Ally all the good things up until now. Everything goes silent, and the car stops.

Ally's breathing heavily and she looks over to see if Austins okay. He's staring into space. The car is right at the edge of the cliff. Infact, a couple more centimeters and the both of them would've been screwed.

"Austin, unlock the doors I need to get out. Please just unlock the doors!" Ally was panicking, she was pushing on the door and beating on the window.

Austin unlocks them, but he still doesn't stop staring into space and he doesn't say anything. Ally immediately jumps out and collapses into the grass crying.

Ally hears the car start and panics, she gets up and runs to the bench overlooking the ocean. She's never moved that fast in her life! Ally thinks Austing gonna drive himself over the edge, bet he's just reversing it to get away from it. He still doesn't get out.


An hour later, Ally's still sitting on the grass staring at the moon and the ocean. She remembered what she saw when Austin squeezed her hand.

If life really does flash before your eyes before death, and all I saw was Austin, then that means Austin is my life, Ally thinks to herself.

Those 10 seconds in the car on the clifftop really changed Ally's perspective of life. She realized just how much she loved Austin, and how much Austin really loved her. She also realized that he was dead serious about ending his life if he couldn't have her.

Ally now knew that Austins love was real, and that the pain he felt was real. The whole experience has changed the way she viewed him. Even though she could've died, she believed God did this so she could realize how much she loves him.

Ally loved Austin to lengths she didn't know was possible. She now knows its either life with him, or she didn't want to live at all.

Her heart begins racing just thinking about him. All the drama, pain, suffering, was erased by those 10 little seconds in a car.

Allys thoughts are interupted by a car door slamming, and Austin walks over to her. He sits down in the grass next to her, unsure whether or not he should speak. After about 5 minutes, he finally found the words.

"I am so sor-"Ally cuts him off by kissing him, and he kisses her back. Ally releases from the embrace with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Austin takes the pad of his thumb and wipes them away. He takes a loose strand of Ally's hair from infront of her face and tucks it behind her ear.

He goes to speak, but Ally puts her finger over his mouth.

"Shh, its okay Austin, you don't need to explain," he whispers. "I felt it too.

Ally smiled. Austin flashed that gorgeous smile and pulled Ally in for a hug. Ally doesnt think its crazy that after all that she still wanted to be with him. No one will ever understand what she felt those 10 seconds in the car.


Austin sits Ally between his legs, and she leans back on him. He puts his arm on top of hers, curling his fingers into the spaces between hers.

"I meant what I said Ally, Id I don't have you, then I don't wanna live at all."

Ally laid her head back near his neck, looking up at Austins face. "I know," she whispered.

She had so much to say, but she just didn't know how to say it.

Austin was rockink Ally side to side gently and was singing to her. It made Ally sleepy.

"Austin," she said.

He stopped singing and looked down at her.

"I love you," Ally said, he smiled and continued singing, and the song he was singing tied perfectly in what just happened.

There's no way I can make it without ya,

Do it without ya,

Be here without you.

Ally was singing along with Austin. He looked down at her. "This is the Ally I missed," He says, causing Ally to smile.

"So this is it huh, a fresh start. New beginning," Ally says looking at the full moon.

Austin takes Ally's hand and squeezes it gently before nodding. "Just you and me," he says.

He takes his phone out of his pocket and goes to his contacts, deleting every girls number (Elizabeths was the first to go) except for his mom, Ally, and Trish.

"You didn't have to do that," Ally says, but Austin just shrugs his shoulders.

"Its late, we should probably head back," Austin suggests. They both walk hand in hand to his car.


When they get to Ally's house, she makes Austin change the bed sheets and makes him take a shower. He does them both without complaining, and steps out of the bathroom with just a towel.

Ally admires the view.

He flexes his muscles a bit and does a few model poses, pulling stupid facecs, which makes Ally bust into a laughing fit.

Austin pulls Ally close and the fall back onto her clean bed. He tries to pin her down to tickle her, but they both fall and end up on the floor. The look at eachother for a few moments before busting into laughter, and Ally can't help but smile.

This is how it should be, Ally thought to herself. Just me and Austin... Or so she thought.

Bit of a cliff hanger, again. Sorry about all of them you guys. Oh, and the reason I'm doing multiple updates is 1.) I'm feeling very creative today, and 2.) Track starts tomorrow and I have school 8-3:20 then track practice 3:45-6:45... :x Sorry! Review ;)
