"Yes, yes… Alright I'll bring the stuff. Yes. Don't worry. I got everything, Dallas! I have everything, now can you calm down?" I said for the what is it?... 5th time this morning. I have no clue what was going on, and the funny thing was no one would tell me. There are two things I absolutely hate: 1) when people lie to my face 2) When people don't tell me why I will be lugging 10 bags of random stuff to their houses
"Alright, yes… Yes, I'll be over at 1:00 sharp. No don't worry he won't know a thing. Why would I tell him?" I said as just as Austin walked into the room and I quickly closed the phone
"Not tell who what?" He said raising an eyebrow leaning up against the wall
"Oh nothing, it was just a wrong number" I said obviously lying through my teeth and I knew he wasn't too happy about that
"Oh alright" He said obviously not thrilled about the fact that I lied to him but he let it go as I gave him a smile
"So what's with all the stuff?" He asked me as the bags had clothes and random things in it
"Oh nothing, I'm just bringing it to Cass's cottage later at 1:00" I said again lying and even though I knew I was a horrible liar, he let it go again. But I knew he over heard me talking to Dallas, but I promised him I wouldn't say anything or it would ruin the "surprise". And I still do not know what this "surprise" was.
"Do you know what day it is today?" He asked as I gave him a questioning look
"August 12th. Why?" I asked him questionably
"No reason, never mind. So it was Cass who was on the phone?" Austin questioned me again and I just nodded even though I just told him it was the wrong number, god als you really need to get better at lying.
"Yeah, it was. I…uhm.. borrowed some of her clothes so I'm bringing them back today" I said biting my lip fighting the urge to chew on my hair. I usually do that when I am nervous, but I knew if I did that.. he would know something is up. Oh another thing about myself… I SUCK at keeping secrets.. I'm probably the worst.. Well second worst, Trish is horrible at this. Hm.. I really miss Trish.
"Oh alright, so I was wondering if-" Austin began but stopped as my phone started to beep, and flash which meant some one was spamming me with text messages. Shoot.
"Are you going to get that?" Austin said staring at my phone and I pushed the ignore button
"It's probably just Cassidy" I said giving him a smile that wouldn't fool a piece of wood.
"Are you sure, it seems uhm… pretty urgent?" Austin said as my phone was now ringing and I quickly pressed ignore
"Yeah, it's totally fine" I said giving him a smile while he gave me a quick one back, not believing a single world I was saying.
"Okay, so I was just wondering if you wanted to do something tonight" He asked me as I stood there motionless. Shoot! I really cant.
"Uhm, Look Austin maybe another time I-" I began but got caught off by the beeping of my phone
"You are there is nothing you want to tell me" He said starring at my phone since it was now 1:30 and I was a half an hour late
"Uhm" I began than quickly answered the phone "Yeah, I'm coming now" I said quickly and bolted to the front door
"Ally! There is something your not telling me" Austin said as he followed me pretty upset
"There isn't" I said giving him a quick smile and putting on my combat boots
"Why do you keep lying to me? Is it really that necessary I know you not going to Cass' house" He stated and I froze, I honestly didn't know what to say. I was caught pretty much red-handed but I can't explain the reason why I'm going to Dallas's. Heck I don't even know why I'm going
"Yes I am" I mumble quickly obviously lying through my teeth
"You're a terrible liar Ally" He said looking disappointed at me and I just walked out with my bags as I turned to face him and apologize he cut me off
"What ever, Have fun with Dallas" He said pretty pissed off and slammed the cottage door in my face.
"Urgh" I mumbled as I started to walk over to Dallas' cottage.
"Why are you so late?" Cassidy asked as I walked into Dallas' cottage and saw Charlie and Dallas sitting at the table while Cassidy was baking something.
"Sorry I had a fight with Austin" I said rolling my eyes and sitting down
"What! What happened?" Cassidy asked as she cracked 3 eggs into her mixture
"Whoa, fought with - boy" Charlie mumbled something quickly and I couldn't catch it all
"Well- See when no one told me what was going on I had to lie to Austin and well- Wait!" I said pausing and looking at Charlie
"What?" He asked me raising his eyebrows
"What did you just say?" I asked leaning over the table towards him
"Whoa, fought with the birthday boy" Charlie repeated louder this time.. Oh shoot.
"Shi-Shoot! Are you kidding me? Austin and I fought on his birthday! Why didn't anyone tell me? Why didn't he bring it up!" I said thinking back... that's probably why Mike, Mimi, Emma and Aunt Maggie were not home this morning
"You didn't tell her" Cassidy said shocked as she narrowed her eyes towards Dallas and smacked him over the head
"Owe Cass! I thought it was a secret?" Dallas said rubbing the spot slowly where Cassidy hit him
"No you dumb ass The 'surprise' party was a 'surprise', you could have told her!" Cassidy said rolling her eyes and turning her attention back to me
"He even asked me what day it was and if I wanted to do something later!" I said burying my head in my hands
"Ally, it's fine! Don't worry your going to see him later" Charlie said patting me on the back trying to comfort me because honestly, and I really don't like swearing-I think it's so disgusting- But I feel like complete shit right now.
"I can't believe I pissed him off and didn't remember his birthday, damn it" I said sighing as Cassidy came to hug me
"You can relax! He'll know exactly why you couldn't go out once he comes to the surprise party! Now we better get going! I put the cake in the oven to cook but to be honest, I can't decorate for shit. Can you do it?" Cassidy asked me as I nodded
"Thanks, your such a good decorate honestly!" Cassidy said hugging me as we all got ready to walk to Beach 3 which shouldn't be crowded
"Wait- Where's Dez?" I asked Cassidy as I noticed he wasn't there and Dez was Austin's best friend
"He's keeping Austin away from the beach and Jerry's and the town because Mike, Mimi, Emma, and Maggie, and Margret are all there buying the decorations. But they should be done by now" Cass said checking her watch
"Alright, me and Dallas will get the stuff and meet you girls at the beach" Charlie said as Cass and I left for the beach.
Austin's Pov:
"Thanks man, I mean for the ice cream" I said to Dez considering he bought me my favourite flavour of ice cream
"Anything for the birthday boy" Dez said to me as he patted me on the back
"Why didn't we just go to Jerry's though? It was closer than driving 20 mins to Hefty's" I said as Dez's eyes widened
"You love Hefty's, its your favourite place to get ice cream... plus it's farther away from the beach" Dez said then mumbled something which I didn't end up hearing
"What?" I asked him cocking an eyebrow
"Uhm nothing! Hey do you want a ham? I have one in my bag" Dez said grabbing a legit ham out of his bag. I could only laugh and shake my head, no one really understand Dez's randomness
"So are we going to head back to the cottages or?" I began but Dez quickly answered
"Actually, I was thinking we could stay here a little while longer, see if out tree house is still in the forest" Dez said pointing to the forest right beside Hefty's. I remember as kids Charlie, Dez, Dallas, and I would come down here with our dad's and we've built a tree house in there.
"Let's go! I'll race ya" I shouted and with that we were off! I actually miss the old times when we would spend every other day in our tree house, playing pirates and spies! All my of old memories were flashing back in my mind.
"I win" Dez shouted jumping up and down
"Just like old times" I laughed while catching my breath. For some odd reason, Dez was always the fastest runner out of all of us!
"Whoa, this place still looks pretty damn good" Dez chuckled as he climbed up the stairs made out of wood as I followed him
"This place looks a lot smaller than it did when we were kids" I said as he walked around the inside of the tree house
"We did grow a lot over the years huh?" Dez said as we sat down on the small chairs next to the table that we had up there
"Dez look!" I shouted as I picked up a piece of paper "Did we ever make a treasure map when we were small?" I asked as he laughed
"We made so many, I don't remember what we buried in this 'x'" Dez said as he pointed to the big 'x' which was bigger than all of the other ones we've ever drew. I mean this one looked like it covered a big area.
"I can't remember what we would bury" Dez said as he grabbed the map "What ever we did, was massive" Dez said as we both looked up at each other
"Let's go" We both screamed and chuckled as we darted down the tree house stairs
"This looks like where near our cottage is" I pointed at the big blue shop which looked like 'Willy's Equipment Shop'
"That looks like Willy's Equipment Shop" Dez pointed out as we both got into his car
"To Willy's" Dez and I both shouted as we drove off to Willy's
Ally's Pov:
"Higher, higher, higher, okay stop! Lower, lower, to the left, to the left" I said to Dallas and Charlie who were hanging up the sign saying 'Happy Birthday Austin'
"Everything I own in the box to the left" Charlie sang as he did a little but wiggle which made me laugh
"Right there! Nope, higher" I said as they began lifting the sing
"Ally, we've been hanging the sign for 10 minutes! Too bad, it's staying right here" Dallas said annoyed and stapled the sign while Charlie did the same to the other side
"It's not my fault I am a big perfectionist" I said shyly
"Oh we know!" Charlie and Dallas said in sync and then laughed making me roll my eyes slightly
"Alright, are you guys following Ally's orders? She's in charge you know" Cassidy said walking towards me with about 20 bags of balloons and two helium tanks
"Yes Cass" They said at the same time while climbing down the ladders
"Good, now... make yourselves useful and blow these balloons up" Cassidy said handing them the bags and the two helium tanks
"Okay so, we have balloons: Check. Streamers: Check. Sign: Check. Cake: Check. Guests: Check. Food: Check. Pancakes: - . Shoot! We NEED pancakes, that's like Austin's favourite food" I said looking at my clip board
"Relax, I'll go buy some frozen ones" Cass said as I shook my head
"No, I'll just make some now" I said handing her the clip board "Also, come with me because I still have to decorate the cake" I said as I told Mimi, Mike, and Maggie to finish the decorating as Cass and I ran to Dallas' cottage
Austin's Pov:
"Alright were here!" Dez said as he parked the car and we both got out of the car!
"Perfect now it says 60 paces to the left" I said reading the map as we started to walk
"Do you know what's up with Ally?" I asked out of the blue and Dez gave me a questioning look
"Ally... uhm... nope" Dez said really quickly
"It's just she lied about talking to Dallas and she's even going over to his house later" I said grabbing the map from Dez
"Why are you so worried?" Dez asked me as I turned a light shade of red
"I'm not, it's just she's been really strange this morning, and when I asked her to go out later she faked an excuse that she was going to Cass's when I know she was going to Dallas's" I said as we passed the big oak tree
"So you're upset?" Dez said looked up and we climbed down the rock bank
"Well, yeah…. I got pretty damn pissed, but that's not my fault! You know how…-" I began but didn't know how to explain it
"Jealous? Is that the word?" Dez said as we neared to Suzy's soups
"Yeah… You know how jealous I get? It's just I don't want to loose her to Dallas. And I know she liked him and stuff and like-" I began but Dez cut me off before I could finish rambling on and on
"Austin! Relax, you know she likes you, there is absolutely nothing going on between them" Dez said as we counted out loud another 20 paces
"How do you know for sure?" I asked him and he just stopped and froze
"Well, I … oh look a plant" Dez said running ahead to the plant in the sand since we were walking a lot beach 4
"Dez…." I said running after him "Do you know something?" I asked raising an eyebrow concerned
"Know something, about Ally and Dallas.. Pshh! What?" Dez said speeding his walking and I caught up to him and stopped him as he yelled '20' for 20 paces
"Spill what you know?" I said narrowing my eyes towards him
"An X!" Dez shouted and I just gave him a confused look
"You can't consider Dallas an ex. He didn't even date Ally, they never went out officially" I said crossing my arms as Dez looked back to the map and then at the ground we were standing on
"No I mean, an X! Look" Dez said pointing to a small X on the map which was about a couple of meters away from the big X
"An X! Dig Dez Dig!" I shouted as we both dropped to our knees and started digging in the sand
"I think I've hit something, or just having a hand cramp" Dez said as I couldn't help but laugh at Dez and dig more until my hand hit something too which made a small 'Thud' sound
"Austin Look" Dez said pulling out a small toy chest that was Charlie's and we used to hide all our treasures in them.
"I remember this" I said as we opened the little treasure chest "I just don't remembering burying this one"
"Austin, look!" Dez said grabbing two black blind folds "Remember this game?" He said as we both smiled down at the raggedy old blind folds
"Uhm who could forget this!" I said and laughed "I remember that it was me and you against Dallas and Charlie and we would always win" I said as we both laughed and did our signature 'Whaddup' hand shake. We would always play 'Blind Folded Penguins' in teams. Yes, we called it 'Blind Folded Penguins'…DON'T ASK. Dez was going through one of his weird fazes and he became obsessed with Penguins. Anyways, this was how the game went… One person on each team would put on the blind fold and the other person would stand behind him and grab on to them and make them go in any direction and get to the finish line fastest. Basically, Dez and I would always win.
"Wait so if these are blind folds and this is a little x what would this be?" Dez asked pointing to the big X that marked literally an entire area
"Let's find out!" I said as we both grabbed onto each blindfold
"You know what we should do?" Dez said turning to me as we walked towards the big X on the map
"Play Blind Folded Penguins!" We both shouted at the same time
"Me first" Dez said putting on the blind fold as I laughed, I mean it was fun when we were kids but now it was just ridiculous
"Alright, come on" I said grabbing Dez's shoulders and running at full force through the forest trying to avoid the trees, boulder, and just everything basically
"Jump! Duck Dez run" I said as I pushed him all the way through the forest and as we both got out I stopped him as we both caught our breath
"That was so awesome Austin! You have to try it" He laughed and gave me his blind fold even though we have two
"I don't know Dez" I said as he just pouted
"Come on Austin it's for like 1 meter… The big X is just around the corner please" He said over and over again.. We were running on sand and there wasn't too dangerous plus we were nearing beach 3
"Fine" I said giving in and putting on the blind fold
"Ready Austin" Dez said and before I could answer we were off running at full speed
"Dez are we close?" I yelled as we continued to run, I mean running for 10 minutes straight or about.. at full freaking speed is pretty tiring.
"Were here, at the big X" Dez said as we suddenly stopped catching our breath
"Austin, trust me… Your going to love this surprise" Dez said as I smiled
"Is it cheerleader?" I asked as we both laughed "Or a mountain of Pancakes" I said as we both chuckled again..
"Even better, Take off your blind fold and see" Dez said and as soon I took over my blind fold..
SURPRISE!
"What the-" I said cutting myself off as the biggest smile possible crept on my face. Beach three was not really a treasure… more of a surprise
"Happy Birthday Austin!" All of my family and friends cheered and clapped as I just stood there starring at the surprise party that they put together for me
"I can't believe this… You knew?" I said as everyone laughed and clapped some more as I turned to Dez and he just shrugged and smiled… meaning he did.
"Happy Birthday Austin" Cass said coming up to me along with Charlie, Dallas, Michael, and Annie as they all gave me hugs and wished me 'Happy Birthday' again
"I can't believe I thought you guys all forgot about my birthday" I said as they all laughed
"How could we possible forget?" Charlie said as he patted me on the shoulder
"How'd you- Where'd you find the time to do this?" I asked and they all turned to Dez
"To be honest, it was Dez's idea… He wanted to surprise you, and well he wanted to keep you away from here and well he planned everything.. the entire treasure hunt and everything. He was pretty smart" Cassidy said as she smiled at Dez who I ended up hugging
"Thanks man" I said giving him a hug and patting him on the back "You're the coolest best friend ever. I can't believe you did all this for me" I said and Dez just stood there and shook his head and smiled
"I didn't plan this party… you have to thank a certain someone for that" Dez said looking in Cass's direction
"Cass, Dallas, Charlie? You guys planned this?" I said as I group hugged them.
"We helped, but without this certain person… none of this would have happened" Dallas said tilted his head back to where Ally was standing near a table and just smiling at me
"I'll catch up with you guys later, Dez thanks again" I said as he just laughed
"You should be thanking Ally man, she set this entire thing up" Dez said as Cass hugged him
"I know, but still thank you... I haven't had this much fun.. in a long while, you brought back the past man" I said patting him on the shoulder thanking him again and the rest of the guys as I walked over to Ally
"Is this better than cheerleaders?" Ally asked me and I couldn't help but smile and roll my eyes jokingly
"So much better" I said grabbing her by the waist and kissing her
"So I'm guessing your not mad at me anymore" She said and I just smiled back and kissed her forehead
"I'm sorry I thought something was going on between you and Dallas. How could I still possibly be mad at you after you did all of this?" I said waving my hands at the party she threw me
"So you like it?" She said chewing on a small piece of her hair
"Your such a perfectionist Ally.." I said as she bit her lip nervous "I love it, thank you" I said kissing her check
"Well you have to thank everyone else, especially your parents.. they bought everything" She said smiling at me… and just as she did.. my family came over
"I can't believe my baby is 18!" my mom came over and hugged me
"Mom" I said hoping she would let me go as Ally just stood there and laughed
"Sorry sweetheart! It was just yesterday you ran around her naked and all the neighbour-" She began but I cut her off stopping the embarrassment
"Okay mom that's enough of that story" I said tilting to my head to Ally basically saying don't embarrass me.,…. Please.
"Oh sweetheart, she already seen all the pictures" My mom say as I turned red and mentally face-palmed
"Great" I said clenching my teeth... I was red by now
"Happy birthday son" My dad said patting me on my back
"Thanks dad" I said smiling back at him
"Look at my only nephew all grown up now, almost an adult" My aunt said hugging me as I gave her a hug back.
"I'm not that grown up Auntie Magg" I said as she just smiled at me
"Your right, you're a five year old at heart" She said as I laughed and felt someone pulling my pants
"Happy Birfday Austy!" I heard Emma say as she hugged my leg
"Thank you princess" I said picking her up as she hugged me again
"Alright, were going to leave you and your friends alone to enjoy. We'll see two you at home later" My mom said and with that they were off
"Okay, pleas tell me my mom didn't actually show you my baby picture of me naked" I said crossing my fingers she didn't
"ohh…. But she did" Ally laughed and grabbed my hand and we were off to the table with all the food
"Babe, make me a sandwich" I said winking at her as she just stood there
"See, I thought you much rather have pancakes.. but if you really want a sandwich I guess I could-" She began but I cut her off
"I would most definitely like a pancake please beautiful" I said as I wrapped my arms around her waist as she put three pancakes in a plate drizzle it with syrup and put whip cream on it
"That looks so good!" I said basically drooling over her shoulder
" I know" She said smiling obviously proud of her masterpiece
"Alright eat up and then come and meet me and the rest of the gang by the bon fire" She said as I checked my phone and realized it has been 8:30 by the time I said hello to everyone and ate dinner.
Ally's Pov:
"Alright, what are we playing?" Austin said coming over to sit at the bon fire at about.. 10:30 probably.. Most of the people went home except for Austin, Cass, Dez, Charlie, Dallas, and myself.
"We just finished truth or dare and 10" Cass said as Austin took a little longer since he was catching up with his friends
"How about a song?" Dez said taking out Austin's acoustic guitar
"How'd you even get that?" Charlie asked knowing Dez was with Austin all day
"It's a secret" Dez said and we all laughed as Austin grabbed the guitar.
"Alright what song?" Austin asked as we all shrugged our shoulder
"Rock Me by One Direction" Cassidy cheered and I did too
"Really?" All three boys whined
"What's so special about them?" Dallas asked and our mouths dropped open
"Have you seen them?" Cass said still in shock
"I'm pretty sure were better looking" Dez said and we both started to laugh and they all just rolled there eyes.
"Alright" Austin said starting to strum the guitar
"Do you remember summer '09
Wanna go back there every night
Just can't lie it was the best time of my life
Lying on the beach as the sun blew out
Playing this guitar by the fire too loud
Oh my my they could never shut us down
I used to think that I was better alone
Why did I ever want to let you go
Under the moonlight as we stared at the sea
The words you whispered I will always believe
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me, yeah
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
Yeah we were together summer '09
Wanna roll back like press and rewind
You were mine and we never said goodbye i-i-i
I used to think that I was better alone
(Better alone)
Why did I ever want to let you go?
(Let you go)
Under the moonlight as we stared to the sea
(Stared at the sea)
The words you whispered I will always believe
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me, yeahh
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
R-O-C-K me again
R-O-C-K me again
R-O-C-K me again yeah

R-O-C-K me again
R-O-C-K me again
R-O-C-K me again yeah

I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah"
Just as he finished saying that I knew I was going to miss everyone here. I mean I've never had as many amazing friends, as I did here. I mean no one could ever top Trish.. But still.. I know I have made true friends this summer. The rest of the night we spent singing, dancing, laughing, and just talking.
Austin's Pov:
"Ally, Pst.. Are you awake?" I whisper yelled while kicking her top bunk. Basically after the bon fire we all walked home together and stayed up late.. I was probably 4:30ish in the morning and I guess I couldn't just go to bed
"Mmhjfh" I heard her mumble saying she was awake but barley
"I can't sleep." I said as she peeked her head down
"Go to bed" She yawned and I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked hair in a bun and no make up on
"I can't sleep though" I said pouting and she just blinked
"Okay, what would make you fall asleep?" She asked almost falling of the top bunk and rubbing her eyes
"If you sleep with me tonight?" I said seductively knowing that she wouldn't fall for it, but the next thing I new she was climbing down the stairs and stood right in front of me
"Move over" She said and I did and she slowly slipped under the covers and cuddled with me as I wrapped my arms around her waist
"Better?" She said and I just kissed her neck
"Yes" I whispered kissing her neck again
"Good! Now shh.. Go to bed" She said obviously tired from today
"Thank you Ally" I whispered into her ear
"So you have fun tonight?" She whispered back and I smiled
"It was the best treasure I've ever discovered" I said as I could feel her laugh at the fact Dez tricked me into thinking I was looking for treasure.
"Ally?" I called but she was sound asleep.
This was probably the best nights I've ever spent with all of my friends. No drinking, no hard core parties, no picking up girls… Just plain fun.. It was..
The Best Treasure Ever.
