Chapter 7
Ally's POV
I told Trish about everything that happened Monday night. She asked if we were dating. I didn't have an answer. Because I honestly I just didn't know. I want to date him but that would mean he'd have to come to my house and meet my family. I'm not worried about my mom or dad, just Uncle Jeff. What would he do if he knew I was dating? Would he be okay with it?
It was Tuesday night and I was at my house with the whole family. Mom was getting ready to go on another expedition. Dad was cooking a chicken like he does every Tuesday. I think that's why I love Tuesdays in this house. Everyone is here and Jeff can't do anything to me. My cousin Alexis was sitting in my room with me. She was painting her toenails red and yellow. I commented that they looked like ketchup and mustard. She stuck her tongue out at me. Alexis is fourteen, a year younger than me.
"So what's going on with you and that blonde headed boy?" Alexis asks.
I look up at her. My heart was beating fast. "How do you know about him?"
She looked at me like I was crazy. "Ally, come on. I can see through windows. You know Monday night, when you didn't come home until really late. You guys put your heads together and he kissed your head. Oh that was so adorable. Are you dating?" She was smiling like crazy. She gets excited easily.
"Does Jeff know?" I could feel my heart; it was going to burst out of my chest. If he knew I'd be in huge trouble when we were alone.
She scrunched up her eyebrows and cocked her head to the side. "No. Why would he even care anyway?"
I shrugged. "I don't know. I don't want him to tell mom and dad."
"Why? Ally if you two are dating he needs to meet your parents."
"That's it. I don't know if we are dating. And if we were I just don't want him to meet my family."
Alexis's face went from excited to sad in two seconds. "You don't want him to meet me? You're embarrassed of me. I promise I'll be good. I just want to meet him. He is sexy, Ally. You can't just let a sexy boy like that walk out the door."
"Alexis, shut up. Okay? I'll bring him to meet you guys, when he is ready and when I am ready."
There is one problem. I'll never be ready.
Alexis smiles and nods.
A few minutes later my dad walked in the door saying dinner was ready. We get up and follow him. Alexis was wobbling so she was wouldn't ruin her nails.

I had to sit next to Jeff. Mom and dad were at each head of the table. Alexis sat across from me, with an empty chair beside her. She never lets anyone sit next to her. She likes putting her feet in the chair. And tonight was a must because she had to dry her nail polish.
As I sat there eating and conversing with my family, I felt something on my left leg. I looked down for a swift moment. I saw that Jeff had put his hand on my leg. I swallowed but ignored it. His hand began to go up my leg getting closer to my private area. I quickly pushed his hand away. I looked over at mom.
"So mommy, where are you going this time?" I ask.
"Oh this time it's...Australia!" She sounded excited. Sometimes I wish she could take me with her. When she is gone I feel lonely and like I have no one to talk to. It's like I don't have a mother. Then I think of Alexis and realize I'm being stupid. I could be like her and not have a mother at all.
"Oh that sounds so exciting!" Alexis screams. "Isn't that were like koalas live?"
Mom nodded. "I get to help them. I'm so happy. And Ally I'll bring you back something, because I know how you love koalas."
I smile, "That sounds great, mom."
I was going to say something else but I felt his hand on me again. I looked down at my food and listened to mom continue talking about what she'd be doing in Australia. His hand was on my back this time and it was lowering near my ass. It slipped into my sweat pants. He started touching my butt and moving his hand to my area. I looked over at him. He had a smile on his face looking at my mom.

That night I couldn't fall asleep. I kept on thinking of my mom leaving. Jeff would be coming into my room more often. Dad usually would be at work or off with his friends like he always does when mom's gone.
I think it was around 11:15, when my bedroom door opened. The door closed back and the shadow got in bed with me. At first I thought it was Alexis and that she had a bad dream and she wanted to sleep with me. But I felt my hair being pushed back from my neck and a kiss landing on it.
"Uncle Jeff, please no."
He has never tried to do anything sexual. It's starting to scare me now.
His arm went around my waist, his hand slipped under my shirt, he started rubbing my stomach. He started touching my breasts. His other hand when into my pants then he pulled them down.
Tears were slipping from my closed eye lids; I just wanted this to be over.

The water in the shower was running. I was taking my clothes back off. I stepped into the shower and began to wash my body.
But even after washing two to three times I could still smell him on me. I wrapped my arms around myself. I wanted Austin. I wanted to feel safe. I wanted to feel that happy warmness I always felt when I was with him. I wanted to smell the Fresh Summer's Breeze. I wanted to forget this night ever happened.

After washing myself two more times, I got out of the shower. I put on fresh clothes. I grabbed my other clothes and the sheets, comforter, pillow cases off my bed and put them in a trash bag. I put it in my closet. I'll deal with them later.
I walked down to Alexis's room. I walked in and got in her bed.
"Ally, what's wrong?" She asks. She was half asleep.
"Nothing, I just had a bad dream. Is it okay that I sleep in here tonight?"
She nods. "Yeah," She turns over and falls asleep.
I pull the covers over me and turn my back to her.
I don't love Tuesdays anymore.

I woke up to the sound of Taylor Swift blaring through stereo speakers.
"You should've said no…You should've gone home…Should've through twice before you let it all go!"
I knew we were at the house alone. I sit up. Alexis was dancing around the room getting ready for school.
"Where is dad and Uncle Jeff? I ask. I remembered mom had to leave five in the morning.
"Your dad left to go to work and my dad went to go find work." She says. She was in her shirt and underwear.
"Why don't you have any pants on?"
"I can't find any that will look good with this shirt."
I look at her shirt. It was blue and black zebra print. I stand up and start walking to my room.
"I have some leggings that will look okay."
She nods and follows me.
I begin looking through my dresser drawers.
"Umm, Ally, why is your bed completely naked?"
I look back at my bed.
"Uh, I decided I needed a new bed set."
She nods. "Cool, after school you wanna go shop for one."
"Yeah maybe…Here they are!" I hand her the leggings.
"Thanks, you better get dressed it's 7:00. Trish will be here at 7:30."
I nod.
I got dressed in light blue skinny jeans and an orange t-shirt. I guess I better look like I love Florida. I walk to my bathroom and begin on curling my hair. I couldn't help but find myself singing along with Taylor Swift and Alexis.
"This night is sparkling don't you let it go. I'm wonderstruck blushing all the way home. I'll spend forever wondering if you knew. This night is flawless, don't you let it go. I'm wonderstruck dancing around all alone. I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you."
A smile went across my face and my stomach turned to butterflies. I was thinking of Austin again.

All the way to school we were still listening to Taylor Swift. It just so happens Trish was listening to her also. I felt like one of those cheesy movies, sitting in the car with your best friends singing the words to your favorite songs.
When we got there, Trish and I said goodbye to Alexis as she ran off to her friends. We walked to our lockers. A few seconds later Austin and Dez walked up.
"So we have made a plan to become famous!" Dez screamed.
I swear I was trying to listen to his awesome plan. But now that everything was calm and not filled with singing. I started to think of last night. I felt tears swell up. I turn to my back to my friends and wipe them away. But it didn't help they started falling more and more, I turn around and run to the bathroom.
I could hear Trish asking if I was okay. I didn't answer.

I locked myself in the last stall and I cried. I bend over and let the tears form a puddle on the ground. I heard the bathroom door open. I covered my mouth and went silent.
"Ally are you okay?"
It didn't sound like Trish
"Austin, you can get in trouble for being in here. Go away."
"I don't care. I wanted to make sure you were okay." I could hear he was outside my stall. "Are you?"
"No, not really."
"Will you tell me what is wrong?" He asks.
I don't say anything.
"Will you let me hug you at least?" He says.
I unlock the door and open it. He pulls me in to a huge hug. He squeezes me tightly. I breathe in and smell Fresh Summer's Breeze. I push myself in to his body even more.

We were walking to class. He was holding my hand. Butterflies were swarming around in my stomach.
"Hey Austin," I asked quietly.
"Yeah," His voice was shaking. I could tell he was as nervous as I was.
"Are we dating?" I whisper.
We stop outside our classroom door. He turns to me.
"I don't know." He says.
"Well do you want to be boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Yes!" He nods. "More than anything."
I look up at him. "Why haven't you ever said anything?"
"I didn't know you liked me." He let go of my hand and put his in his pockets. He looked down.
I pushed him a little. "I kissed you like three damn times. Isn't that enough to say I like you?"
He laughs and blushes. "I guess I'm stupid."
I cross my arms and look towards the ground. "I guess you are."
We both look to the classroom door.
"We better go in." I say.
He nods. "Yeah,"
He opens the door for me and we walk in.
Okay guys, I was going to make this chapter way longer. But after rereading over and over, I couldn't honestly think of anything else to put. But I hope you guys like it. Please review tell me if it's horrible or awesome. Thanks for reading.
