Ally's POV
We had all left the Moons' place about an hour ago and said our goodbyes. Austin and Dez went straight home after dropping Trish and I off at my apartment complex. I guess I never really thought of how Dez actually lived with Austin until he said they needed to get to their place before the news came on and showed the whole deal with the press conference. There would've been crazy fans and interviewers everywhere, and it would take them at least half an hour to get in the house.
Anyway, Trish and I are now sitting on my old couch talking. I had just tucked Ella in bed, and Trish was about ready to burst with excitement as I told her about my new relationship with Austin. "Trish, I think I'm falling hard", I said when I finished the whole story.
"I have to admit, I wasn't very fond of the guy at first, but now…oh I just can't help it! I have to start planning your wedding!", Trish squealed.
"Trish, we just got together last night", I reminded her laughing.
"I know, but you two are obviously meant for each other. Even Ella called his parents her grandparents before she knew about you guys. You're my best friend, and this is your first real boyfriend. How else am I supposed to take this? Come on Ally, you should know me by know", she said.
"Whatever", I muttered.
"Ally, you and I both know that you've never been in a serious relationship before. He was your first kiss, and the only other guy you ever had a major crush on, and could actually talk to, was that little blond boy in kindergarten. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that this isn't just some small crush like back then", she told me.
"Yeah, I just don't know exactly what this feeling is. He just makes me feel all warm inside, and I feel safe whenever he's around", I admitted.
"Maybe you're in love", Trish suggested smiling at me knowingly.
"Maybe I am."
Austin's POV
"Dez, I'm really confused about this whole situation with Ally", I said pacing back and forth.
"Why? I thought you two were together for real now", he asked.
"We are, and I really like her, but that's the thing. I like her so much I think…I think I might…"
"Be in love with her?", Dez finished for me. It's like he can read my thoughts. But if that were true, he would've been able to make much better grades on our high school tests, and that's saying something. I wasn't bad at school, but I wasn't good either.
"Yeah, and that scares me. I've never been 'in love' before. Also, she has a daughter. I love Ella with all my heart, but let's say Ally and I ever got married. How could I treat someone else's kid as my own?", I asked expressively.
"You should ask Ally. She would know better than anyone", Dez said confusing me.
"Dude, what are you talking about?", I asked.
"Nothing. Just another random outburst from Dez . Hey, now I know what everybody's always talking about!", he exclaimed, but still sounded nervous and wouldn't look me in the eye.
"Okay…moving on. It's also the fact that I'm still…I mean I've never…", I became short of words in this incredibly awkward conversation.
"Okay dude, I get where you're going with this, and gross. So, what's your point?", he asked. I rolled my eyes at my best friend's cluelessness.
"I've never…you know, and clearly she has!", I exclaimed.
"You don't know that", Dez remarked. How can he seriously think that when she has a kid!?
"Dez, Ella is Ally's daughter. She's living proof", I tried explaining to him. I knew Dez wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but can he really be that stupid?
"Whatever you say Austin. Listen, I have to go somewhere, but I want to tell you that you better treat Ally right. I may've been your best friend first, and you may be like a brother to me, but Ally's like a sister to me too, and I don't ever want to see her get hurt again", Dez said seriously. Whoa…where'd that come from!?
"Dez, you don't have to ever worry about that. I would never be able to live with myself knowing that I hurt Ally…or Ella for that matter", I said honestly.
"Good. Later Austin", he said leaving to go who knows where.
"Later dude.
Third Person POV
"Dez, why on Earth did you ask me to meet you here at 12:30 A.M. saying it was urgent?", Trish asked annoyed that Dez had made her come out so late. She probably would've said no if she wasn't just leaving Ally's anyway, and Dez hadn't sounded so freaked out at the time.
"Ally said you're the only other person that knows her secret, so I had to talk to someone that knew so I wouldn't blurt it out to Austin, and Ally didn't seem like the best option", Dez said. Trish's eyes grew big.
"How do you know Ally's secret!?", she asked.
"I have my ways of finding many things out on people, but I told her I wouldn't tell anyone, and I'm not the best when it comes to secrets", Dez admitted. Trish rolled her eyes at the insane man/child standing in front of her.
"Find something to get your mind off of it. Just know that if you tell anyone her secret, you may or may not live to regret it", Trish threatened. She wasn't actually going to kill him, but she wanted him to think that, so he'd be so scared and keep his mouth shut.
"Yes sir…I mean ma'am", Dez recovered quickly. "And I know just the distraction", he said mischievously.
"Normally, I wouldn't care what the crap you do, but the look in your eye says this might be fun…plus I have nothing else better to do", Trish admitted. "What's the distraction?"
"Maddie Carter."
"The girl that brought Ella back when she was missing at the beach? Isn't she a little young for you?", Trish asked raising her eyebrows questionably.
"Ewe, not that kind of distraction!", Dez said rolling his eyes.
"Then what about her?", Trish asked confused.
"I think she may be in trouble. I don't want to see such a young girl getting hurt at all", Dez said genuinely making Trish smile a little (although she'd never admit it) at his sweet and caring side.
"Okay, I'm in."
With Austin and Ally (Still in third person POV)
"Hey Ally. You know, Dez was acting really weird yesterday", Austin said out of the blue. They were currently having a picnic date while Austin's parents watched Ella again since both Trish and Dez had told them they couldn't due to some business they had to take care of.
"And this is strange because…?", Ally asked since they both knew Dez always said and did extremely weird things.
"No, I mean weirder than normal", Austin said chuckling lightly at Ally's comment.
"What do you mean?", Ally asked.
"Well, we were just randomly wondering what it would be like to raise someone else's child as your own, and he said to ask you, and that you would know better than anyone", Austin said making Ally's eyes widen.
"W-what else did he say?', Ally stuttered.
"He was also under the impression that you're still…you know", Austin said trailing off.
"No, I don't know. Still what Austin?", she asked.
"Umm…innocent", he said almost inaudibly, but she still heard. Austin was trying to choose his words carefully, not wanting to say anything that could make this anymore awkward than it already was.
"What makes you so sure I'm not?", Ally asked.
"Huh?", Austin asked extremely confused.
"Austin, I am still 'innocent' as you would put it", Ally said sighing.
"But you have a kid. How is that even possible!?", Austin asked exasperated.
"It's a long story", Ally said with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Hey, Ally I'm sorry. Please don't cry", Austin begged. He hated seeing her upset.
"It's a really long story, and we still have to pick up Ella from your parents' house", Ally reminded him.
"It's okay. My parents said Ella could spend the night at their house, so we have all the time in the world. And I promise I won't judge you, no matter how bad this story might be", Austin said. Ally smiled at him a little before beginning her story.
"Well…for starters, my brother's Ella's dad", Ally said making Austin more confused than ever.
"So…never-mind. I said I wouldn't judge", Austin said extremely shocked. 'She had a baby with her brother!?', he thought.
"And her mother's name is Samantha Freeman", Ally said making Austin snap his head in her direction.
"H-he mother?", he asked in shock.
"Yep. I adopted my niece as my own", Ally said and began to explain the rest of the story to him. That ended up with Ally crying her eyes out again, but this time she had Austin to comfort her.
"Shh…Ally, it's okay. Everything's going to be fine", Austin said holding Ally tight as she continued to cry in his chest.
"Austin, I had just turned eighteen! I had to deal with becoming an adult, a mother, and my own brother abandoning me all in the same day! My birthday!", Ally cried.
"Oh Ally, I'm so sorry", Austin said making Ally chuckle lightly.
"Why are you apologizing? You had nothing to do with this", Ally asked wiping away her tears.
"You're so brave Ally. You walk around acting like everything's fine, when you have all this on your plate. How do you do it?", Austin asked astonished.
"I pretend for Ella's sake. I don't want my little girl being brought down because of my stupid problems", Ally said.
"So, how come you told Dez but not me?", Austin asked looking a little hurt.
"Oh Austin, don't feel bad. I actually didn't tell Dez anything. He searched Ella and I on the internet and figured everything out on his own", Ally explained.
"Oh, well do you know what happened to Samantha or Elliot?", Austin asked quietly trying to prevent her from having another outburst.
"Not a clue, but I'm just so glad that my baby never had to deal with her", Ally said making a disgusted face when she said 'her'.
"Did you know 'her'?", Austin asked mocking Ally's tone, earning him a small smile from her, and a punch in the arm.
"Samantha Freeman was the most popular girl in my school. She bullied me all throughout my school years, up until senior year when she mysteriously disappeared for some unknown reason. Well, at least it was unknown until I found out she drugged my brother and got herself pregnant", Ally said sounding a mixture of annoyed and disgusted.
"So Elliot and Samantha never knew how each other was connected to you?", Austin asked.
"Nope. Ella was the only good thing Samantha ever did for me, even though she doesn't know it", Ally said.
"Wow. So the enemy and your brother's daughter, who was also your niece, became your daughter. You are truly incredible Als", Austin complimented.
"Well thanks Superstar. I'm sorry. I know this isn't how you wanted our date to go", Ally said looking down. Austin put his hand under her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes.
"Ally, as long as I'm with you, I feel amazing. Plus, I just learned how brave you really are", Austin said sweetly.
"Awe, Austin you're so sweet", Ally said pecking his lips.
"Shall we go see the best part of your problem right now?", Austin asked referring to Ella.
"Isn't she spending the night at your parents' house?", Ally asked.
"Yes, but I really want to see my little Sunshine right now", Austin said making Ally laugh.
"Okay, but I do have one question. Why do you call Ella Sunshine?", Ally asked. She had been wondering this since the first time she heard Austin call her that.
"Well, the Sun is bright and shinning, just like Ella's personality. It just seemed to fit", Austin shrugged. Ally smiled at this.
"So, if you were never married, then how many boyfriends have you had?", Austin asked changing the subject as the two began walking back to the Moons' house.
"Boyfriends? With an s? That's funny Austin. You're pretty much the first", she said laughing.
"Pretty much?", Austin asked.
"I had a crush on a little blond kid in kindergarten. That's it besides you", Ally admitted.
"Really!? I'm shocked someone as beautiful as you has never had another boyfriend", Austin said honestly, no matter how happy it made him to be her first boyfriend.
"Well thanks again. Oh, and I have a third thank-you", Ally said.
"For what?"
"For also being my first kiss", Ally said quietly.
"Really!?", Austin asked. Ally nodded embarrassed. "Yes!", Austin exclaimed fist pumping the air. He felt so honored to have been Ally Dawson's first kiss and boyfriend, even if he felt he didn't deserve her. He just wished had could've been her first crush too, but that kid from kindergarten had that…but he didn't end up getting her. That thought made Austin even happier.
"What?", Ally asked slightly amused at his childish behavior.
"I was your first kiss! Can I please be your last first kiss(1)", Austin asked smiling, but he was completely serious.
"Well Mr. Moon, I would absolutely love that, but that all depends on if you play your cards right", Ally teased.
"I know just the way", Austin accidently said out loud.
"What?", Ally asked looking up at him as they continued to walk.
"Oh nothing", Austin replied, even though he did have a plan. "I love you", he said quietly.
"I love you too", Ally said smiling. That was all he needed, and he pulled her in for a kiss that lasted for what felt like an eternity.
Okay guys, this was a pretty long chapter for me. What'd you think? A lot happened in this chapter, huh? I bet none of you were expecting what Ally said about Samantha, were you? If you think that's good, just you wait. It gets a whole lot better, and the story line will be taken on so many different twists that you'll never even see coming. ;P So, please tell me what you guys thought about the chapter, and your favorite line(s). Read, review, follow, and favorite.
I don't own the song Last First Kiss by One Direction, but I do really love it.
