Chapter Six
One Week Later
Austin's POV
Lately, Ally and I have made is common to meet up after Music Class at the library. We usually just sit at the table and read our books or do homework. She's helped me get my grade up in English. We only talk sometimes.
I was trying to concentrate on the Kingdom Keepers book but Ally and the thing with her uncle was still running circles in my head. I glance up at her. She was chewing on her hair, staring at her Math book.
I put my book down and look at her. "So Ally,"
She looks up at me and pulls the hair out of her mouth. "Sorry. What?"
"Who do you live with at your house?"
"Ummm," Her eyes tore from my and looked at the rip on the page of the Math book. She began to rip it more. "My mom, dad, uncle and my cousin,"
"Why does your uncle live with you guys?"
Her hands began to shake a little. "Because, ummm, after he got out of jail last year he had no place to live. His daughter began living with us after he went to jail."
He went to jail! "Do you know why he went to jail for?" I ask. I wanted to get as much out of her…I just wanted to know.
"He, umm, he was…" Her hands were beginning to shake violently.
I grabbed both her hands, she looked at me. Her eyes tearing up a little. "We don't have to talk about it. It's okay."
She nods and rips her hands from mine. "So, is it just you, your mom and dad?" She asked, wiping the tears from her eyes before they fell.
I stare at her for a second. Then smile and nod. "Yeah, but I feels as if I'm the only one that lives there."
Her eye brows furrowed. "Why?"
"My parents are never there. That time you came to my house, was the first time we had dinner together in a long time."
Her face softened a little, "That must be lonely."
I shrug. I began to think about it. "Yeah it is a little, I guess." I laugh quietly. "But it doesn't matter; I like it better that way."
She smiles. "Well that's good."
The bell rings, indicating that it's time to go home. She stands up and gathers her stuff.
"Well I'll see you tomorrow, Austin." She says. She starts walking away.
"Wait," I stand up and turn to her. She looks back at me. "You wanna go to the park?"
She stands there for a moment thinking, or something. But she nods. "Ummm, yes."

After I called my mother and told her not to pick me up, we walked to the park.
We were walking the nature trail. We were both being quiet.
"Ummm, you wanna sit?" She asks.
"Sure,"
She leads me to a tree. We sit under it, still quiet.
"So, what are your hobbies?" She asked.
I chuckled a little. "Umm, playing guitar and I guess playing basketball. I don't do much."
She looks over at me. "You are boring."
"What? I am not boring."
"Come on, if that's all you do then yes that is pretty boring." She laughs.
"Well then what does the fun, un-boring Miss Ally do?"
She smiles. "Well, I play piano, guitar, trumpet, drums, saxophone, flute, and banjo. I can play the piano with my eyes closed. And I am currently the technical person that helps with lights at plays and things."
I clap. "Well that's impressive."
"I do my best." She giggles. She wraps her arms around her legs and lays her head on her knees. She stares at me.
I smile.

"Wait, so you were a ballerina?" I ask.
"Yes," She answered nodding.
We were in the position of lying down and staring up at the sky. It was now dark.
"So you could do all those fancy moves?"
"Umm, yes." She laughs.
I love hearing her laugh. "Well if I do say so myself I can do those fancy dances."
She looks at me with a 'you-are-stupid' faces.
"I'm serious Ally."
"Then show me."
I stand up. "Fine,"
She sits up and looks at me.
I try doing a move that a saw a ballerina do one time. She starts laughing and shaking her head.
"No, no. This is what you do."
She stands up and shows me.
"Mine is so much better." I say.
She shakes her head as she twirls around.
I smile and grab her hand. She twirls around and faces me.
I put on hand on her hip, she puts her hand on my shoulder and we began dancing together.
She was still laughing.
"You are horrible at ballet." She whispers.
I smile. "Yeah, I guess I am."
She smiles.
We began to dance slowly. My heart was beating fast, I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. Her eyes were locked on mine. We stood there dancing in circles. She seemed like she was peaceful. In my arms.
I don't know how it happened but our bodies were only a few centimeters away and our lips were an inch away from each other's. I didn't mean for it to happen but my eyes slowly fell onto her lips. They looked so soft and cold. I wanted to warm them with mine. I swallowed.
Ally's POV
I watched his Adam's apple move as he swallowed. I looked up at his eyes. They were huge and looking straight into mine. His hand on my back was pulling me closer. My hand on his shoulder went from there to his lips. I didn't do anything but stare at my hand and his lips.
I began to lean in. I moved my hand to his neck pulling him closer. He leaned in until our lips were touching.
As we kissed, our hands let go of each other's. My hand went to his shoulder pulling him.
I wanted to be as close to him as I could possibly be. I felt safe and secure.
His hand was on the back of my head pushing it closer to his.
His kisses were soft. Our lips moved together in sync. Nothing was forceful or aggressive. It was gentle and careful.
He pulled away. We were both breathing hard. I hadn't realized my lungs were screaming for air. I liked the sense of calmness he gave me.
"I think I kinda want to do that again." He says.
I nod.
We kiss again.

He held my hand and walked me home. I couldn't help but smile the whole way there. Even if I was walking into a hell house.
We stood in front of my house. He looked at me. Pushes a piece of my hair back, he touches his forehead to mine. I close my eyes for a second.
"I'll see you tomorrow." He says. Why did it sound like a question?
I nod. "Umm, yes."
He kisses my head. I turn and unlock the door. I walk in the door and turn back to him. He stands there for a second, then smiles. I smile back and shut the door. I walk to my room, the smile still plastered across my face. I couldn't help it. I could still feel the warmness on my lips.

Austin's POV
I called my mom walking to my house. I told her that I'd be staying at Dez's house. She said okay. I called Dez after to make sure it was okay. It was. His parents are always inviting.
I couldn't help but walk with a smile. She kissed me again. Not to sound creepy or anything, but that's the most lip I've gotten from a girl that I actually like. It was nice and it made me all warm in my stomach. I felt at peace for a little bit.
Beautiful, yeah. I'm so happy that it's the Sixth Chapter! Please review, they happy! :)
