Ally's POV:
Our lips are about to touch when.
My cell phone rings. Austin and I both jump back and I take the blanket off us. I run to my phone and look at the caller ID. It's my friend Trish.
Perfect timing Trish.
"What?" I answer.
"Well hello to you too." She says.
"Well I mean it's almost 1AM."
"Sorry, I just had to tell you about this guy I met tonight at work!" She says happily.
"Who is it?" Austin asks. He's sitting on his blankets, leaning against the couch.
"Who was that?" Trish asks.
"That was Austin, Trish." I say. Austin nods.
"Austin's with you? Where are you? What are you two doing?" She says.
"I'll talk to you later." I hang up.
I put my phone on silent and sit on the couch. I can't believe me and Austin almost kissed. That's never happened before. Does he like me? Is he going to say anything about it?
He does a nervous cough and says "Well, I guess I'll go to sleep now."
I look at him and he lies down. I get up and turn off the lights. I lie back down and stare at the ceiling, thinking about how much I wish Trish wouldn't have called me. What would have happened?
Austin's POV:
Ally's probably asleep by now, but I'm just laying here on top of uncomfortable blankets staring at the ceiling. I almost kissed her, what was I thinking? We're best friends and she probably doesn't even like me but yet some uncontrollable feeling came over me and I was about to kiss her. I guess it was a good thing Trish called.
It's about 5AM now and I keep tossing and turning, thinking about what almost happened.
Right when I'm about to fall asleep, a pounding noise wakes me up.
Ally's POV:
I hear a knocking coming from the back door downstairs. More like a pounding on the door. Austin hears it too and gets up, I follow him.
We get downstairs and there still pounding on it. I just look at the door, and then look at Austin. He looks at me and walks toward it. Right when he's about to open it, it gets kicked open. Standing behind the now broken door is some man I've never seen before. He looks at Austin and then looks at me. I stand still and Austin does too.
"Where's your father?" The man asks me. How does he know who I am?
I try my hardest to get the words out. "Uh. He. I." Is all I can say. Then Austin speaks up. "He's not here." How was he so calm?
I look at the man and I notice something Austin already has. He has a gun.
