"What time is it?" I mumbled as the light shined into my eyes as I stretched. It was about 11:30ish which was odd since I am usually an early waker. I just couldn't sleep last night.
"Two can play at this game"
Austin's words kept on ringing in my head over and over again, and okay I admit I might have taken it a little too far last night. I mean I wanted to make him jealous not hate me.
As I jumped off of the top bunk I noticed Austin's bed was made and he wasn't there, which was odd. I mean Austin rarely ever did his bed.
"Morning princess Ally" I heard Emma run up behind me and jump on my back
"Morning princess Emma" I said grabbing her and sitting down on the couch
"Why are you up so late? Everyone ate breakfast but Auntie Mimi told me to tell you that there is French toast in the fridge" Emma said smiling up at me while playing with her yellow sun dress
"Thank you Emma, but where is everyone?" I asked noticing that no one was around the house which was really strange
"Well, mommy went to Margret's, Uncle Mike went fishing with Bruno next door and his two sons, Auntie Mimi is starting the laundry and Austin went out with Dez this morning." She said counting her fingers "And that is everyone" She said folding her hands and looking up at me
"Morning Ally, sleep well?" Mimi said walking into the kitchen with a basket of dirty clothes
"Yes I did" I said smiling back at her as I walked over to the fridge to get the French toast
"That's good! Do you mind watching Emma for a while? I was going to start the laundry but I am going to visit Margret today since Maggie is already there" She said putting down the laundry by the door
"Yeah, that's fine. And by the way... Did Austin say when he was going to come back?" I asked her knowing I owed him an apology
"Oh in about two hours or so, but me and Maggie will be home before that. Oh, and Ally weren't you and Austin supposed to go out to the town today?" Mimi asked me as she put on her shoes.
"Actually, you just reminded me Mimi. And Austin probably forgot too" I said obviously lying. I didn't forget mostly because I have a very good memory
"Oh well, he can take you out to town tonight dear, there having an ancient Chinese festival or something along those lines. There's dancing, food, there are those people who juggle fire. It's very fun actually, and I was thinking of bringing Emma since she goes every year. And he should take you I mean we only have a month left of summer right" Mimi said and that was when I realized it was July 31st
"Yeah, I'll see, he might have other plans" I said as I waved goodbye to Mimi. I mean how could I tell her, 'oh by the way Mimi, no me and Austin are on horrible terms because I was a well total bitch and went to kiss another guy just because I was jealous of him and Jo'. God, this was not how I wanted my summer to end. That was when I promised myself by the end of the day today me and Austin were going to be friends at the least.
"Alright Princess Emma, what do you want to do?" I asked her and with that we were off to the park since she wanted to play on the swings.
"Okay, what are you making?" I asked Emma who was playing with the green play dough that I made for her once we came back from the park
"A dinosaur" She cheered which in all honestly looked like a blob
"Oh, I can see there's the tail" I said but she cut me off
"That's the nose" She said stretching a piece of play dough
"Oh, I see and there is a... a foot" I said pointing to a piece of play dough with was scrunched up
"No, no princess Ally! That's the face" Emma said as I sighed
"Sorry Em, I'm just out of it today" I said grabbing my piece of play dough and stretching it making it into a heart
"You know what Mr. Buggsy told me?" She said as I played red and white play dough making a pink colour
"What did he tell you?" I asked making little balls out of the pink play dough
"That you should go and talk to Austin" She said smiling down at her play dough
"Why would I need to?" I asked as I bit on my lip. It was honestly like Emma could constantly read my mind with anything that has to do with Austin... which was pretty creepy
"Because I know you two are not talking with each other, so you should make up and go like this" Emma said grabbing her two hands and made then kiss which was let I let out a small laugh
"You know Em, that's really good advice. Sometimes I forget, you only 5 years old" I said hugging Emma
"I'm very smart for my age Princess Ally, everyone forgets that" She said grinning at me and hugging me
"That's true I even forgot you were-"I began but stopped after I heard the door open hoping that maybe it was Austin and I could talk to him
"Hello girls, did you have a fun afternoon?" Aunt Maggie walked in the door with Mimi
"Mommy!" Emma screamed and ran up to her giving her a big hug as I followed her to the door
"Did you have fun Emma?" Aunt Maggie asked as she knelt down to talk to Emma
"The best time Mommy! I always have fun with Princess Ally! We went to the park, and then we played outside and went for a swim, and then Ally made play dough and we played with it. It was so much fun" Emma said twirling around in her sun dress
"I'm glad you two had fun! Was Emma a hassle?" Aunt Maggie asked me and I shook my head
"Aunt Maggie, Emma is never a hassle" I say as Aunt Maggie smiled at me
"Good! As long as you were good Em, and you didn't cause any trouble... I guess me and Aunt Mimi can take you to the festival tonight" Aunt Maggie said as Emma clapped her hands
"Yay! Can you take me Aunt Mimi?" Emma asked Mimi
"Well seeing as you were good, of course Em" Mimi smiled and Emma jumped up on her giving her a big hug
"Good, so later me, you and your mom will go to the festival after we eat dinner. How does that sound?" Mimi asked and Emma smiled and clapped her hands
"Perfect!" She cheered as we all walked into the house while I took a seat on the couch and turned on the television
"Whoa, I'm very surprised Emma didn't cause any trouble" Aunt Maggie said as her and Mimi walked into the kitchen as Emma came to watch TV. with me but sat beside the coffee table
"She's a good girl Maggie, you have to start giving her more credit" Mimi said as Emma crossed her hands and nodded
"See mommy, I'm always a good girl" Mimi said smiling up at her mom and Mimi as Mimi started to sort the laundry
"See mommy, I'm always a good girl" Aunt Maggie said mimicking Emma which caused both me and Mimi to laugh
"Ehh" Emma said sticking her tongue out at Aunt Maggie which made her do the exact same thing and Emma giggled
"Like mother, like daughter" Mimi said sorting the laundry by colour before she put it in the washing machine
"Hm, it's weird. Ally what time is it dear?" Aunt Maggie asked me as I checked my watch
"About 4:00, Why?" I asked her
"No reason, just Austin texted me saying he would be home by now and he's not here" Aunt Maggie said and as soon as she said that, we all heard the door open
"I'm home" We heard Austin call as he gave us all a wave and then walked into our room
"Maybe I should talk to him?" I mumbled to myself low enough so that Mimi and Aunt Maggie wouldn't hear
"Yeah, you should" I heard Emma say as she was only inches to my face
"Whoa, Emma you scared me" I said jolting back not realizing that she crept up so close to my face
"You were zoning off" She said sitting beside me
"Oh, whoops" I said smiling down at her
"So…" She said as if I was suppose to know what she was saying
"So..?" I asked staring at her blankly
"Go and talk to him!" She said sticking her hand out and with the other one she made her fingers walk on it
"Maybe later I just don't kno-" I said but Emma cut me off
"Now!" She whined grabbing my hand and making me get off of the couch
"Why does Ally have to talk to Austin?" Mimi asked concerned
"I'll explain that later, first we have to get her in there" Emma said as I blushed. It was like the entire family was going to help her get me to talk to him
"Okay, fine I'll go talk to him..." I said walking along with hallway which leads to our bedroom
"Shssjhfd" I heard whispers behind me and as soon as I turned around I saw Mimi, Emma, and Aunt Maggie stick their heads out behind the wall and as soon as I caught them, they jumped back behind the wall
"I can see you guys" I said whispering so that Austin wouldn't hear. They soon all poked their heads back and with their hand motioning for me to go
"Alright, someone give me a push" I whispered and I felt Emma's little hands push me almost into the room.
Before I entered the room I looked back once more to see Emma, Auntie Maggie, and Mimi and sticking their thumbs up. I really don't know why I was so nervous about this. I guess I didn't want to hear the words 'I don't feel the same way about you' or 'I don't want to be friends'.
"Well, here goes nothing" I whispered to myself as I was about to step inside the room, but I guess I was taking to long because I felt Emma come up behind me and push me in Austin's well 'our' room.
"Heyyyy" I said stretching out the word which made me sound guiltier than I was. Austin just looked up at me while he stopped strumming his acoustic guitar and just kept it on his lap. He looked up at me and gave me the look like 'what do you want'.
"Can uhm.. I talk to you for a second?" I asked as I closed the door behind me and went to go and sit beside him on the bunk bed.
"Well, it looks like you already are" He said starring at me
"Look Austin, I don't get what's wrong to be honest?" I said as he just stared blankly at me
"Nothing's wrong?" He said shrugging his shoulders
"Don't give me that! Something is definitely wrong. I mean okay, I get it, I shouldn't have made you jealous. I was wrong, but there is no need for ignoring me" I said angrily and he just rolled his eyes
"Okay, fine roll your eyes at me. I just don't get why you're mad" I said as he put his guitar down beside his bed and stood up
"Clearly you don't" He said standing up
"Look, there is no reason you should be mad at me. I mean I just tried to get your attention, because I thought uhm…You ..ugh" I stuttered while turning a light red
"You thought what?" He stood there staring at me to continue. I gulped and sucked in all the courage I had and just spit it out
"Austin, I –Ugh..I thought you liked me" I said and he just shook his head slowlsy
"Well, I…uhm..I don't" He said softly like he was trying to convince himself and walked out of the room slamming the door which made me flinch
"I should just leave it alone" I whispered to myself whipping away the single tear that rolled down my face. I usually pride myself for not crying over guys, but this was just different. He is just so different. The door slowly opened and I expected it to be Emma, but to my surprise it wasn't
"He's wrong you know" I saw Mimi say as she walked into the room
"Did you hear everything?" I asked her nervously and she nodded her head slowly
"Oh, were just not on well uhm… good terms" I said giving her a fake smile
"Are you okay sweetheart?" She said to sit beside me rubbing my back
"If you want to hear the truth, then no. I just-I-I just thought that after we would talk we would go back to being friends. I mean sure I would love it if we maybe dated but friends would be super" I said sighing as I looked down at the floor.
"Just let him cool off, I know he might seem like a total annoyance now, but I've never seen him like anyone as much as he likes you. Just give him time Ally, he'll come around" Mimi said putting a hand on my shoulder for comfort
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry… This must be so awkward for you! I mean I am basically telling you I like your son" I said realising that I was basically telling Mimi I had the biggest crush on her son
"Ally, dear relax. Honestly, It's fine and trust me when I say this.. Austin does like you back" Mimi said trying to comfort me
"Look Mimi, I really do appreciate this, trust me I do. It's just I know he doesn't, but thank you for trying to cheer me up" I said trying not to shed the tears that I knew were building up.
"That's where you wrong Ally" Mimi said handing me a crumpled up piece of paper
"What is this?" I asked grabbing the piece of paper out of her hands
"It got kind of ruined in the wash since I didn't realize it was in a pocket.. And the top you can barley see what it written down but you can see the last part and that is all that is important" Mimi said giving me a smile and then walking out of the room shutting the door slowly behind her.
"Okay?" I mumbled to myself as I just stared at the crumbled up piece of paper trying to figure out what is was before I opened it up.
"What the-?" I said but cut myself off starring what was written on the piece of paper. And in all honestly, I don't think I've ever been more shocked in my entire life. The tears that were building up just started to slowly flow down my ears, but this time they weren't tears of sadness or disappointment but of joy, which was really rare. I couldn't believe what was written down on the piece of paper, something that I would have never expected in my life…It was..
