Chapter 8
Ally's P.O.V
I wake up and reach for my phone on my nightstand, head still buried in the pillow. To my surprise my arm falls to the side of the bed so I turn to not see a nightstand beside me and notice I'm not in my room. I sit up remembering the party last night. 'Did I get drunk last night? No, I only drank the punch. Did I leave with someo-' I turn and see a blonde mop of hair on the opposite side of me. I let out a small shriek, and cover my mouth with my hand. 'I have to get out of here' I thought. I could see them slowly stirring, I probably woke them up due to the noise I was making. 'Gotta find my shoes' I think slowly walking around the room. They are at the foot of the bed, so I pick them up and head to the door. As I reach for the door knob I hear a familiar voice behind me, "Ally?" ' . .No. This can't be happening' I turn and see exactly who I didn't want to see. 'I slept with my best friend?'I accidentally whisper, wide eyed staring at no other, than Austin Moon.
Austin's P.O.V
"I slept with my best friend" I hear Ally whisper. This gets my attention. I sit up straight and get out of bed. "No, Ally, It's not what it looks like, I swear" I said franticly, grabbing her wrist. "Then explain, because what it looks like is that we slept together!" she yelled. I looked down at her. Fear and anger were in her eyes. "Ally last night, did you drink the punch?" I ask pulling her arm to sit on my bed. 'This is going to be a long talk' I thought. "Yeah, It was really good" she said "Why". "Well" I start, "Dez and I didn't put the punch out and we don't know who brought it, we think that whoever did bring it, spiked it" I say looking at the ground. Her breath hitched, "You mean, I was drugged?" she asked quietly looking at me. I looked up at her eyes, knowing she didn't want it to be true. I put my arms around her back and hugged her. "I'm so sorry" I whisper into her ear. 'It's all my fault' I thought to myself. "What's the last thing you remember" I ask, pulling back from the hug. "Um, I think Elliot and I dancing, but then I had to leave for some reason, and he grabbed my wrist" she glanced down at her wrist, you could see the bruises from his grip. I lift her hand to where I can see it, "It should heal pretty soon, I have some wrap downstairs we can put on it" I say brushing my thumb on one of the bruises, Ally winces. "That jerk" I mutter under my breath. "Well, you remember most of what happened, I got your attention when you were dancing with Elliot, and tried to tell you to get away from him, because he has a tendency to overpower girls" I look at Ally, who stares in disbelief at me. I squeeze her hand, and look at her reassuringly. "You started to walk to the stage and Elliot started to chase you through the crowd, and you blacked out from all the punch, so I ran over to you and Elliot was trying to drag you out of the party, so I punched him in the face, sent everyone home, and I would have taken you to your dorm but I didn't know the password" I smiled at her, hoping she would understand. Ally smiled and started crying "You're so nice to me and you always have my back, I almost got raped last night but you saved me" she hugged me tightly, "How am I supposed to repay you?" she said quietly. I wiped her tears off her cheeks, "Just be you" I said moving her hair behind her ears. She looked up at me and smiled a genuine smile, which made me smile. "Come on let's get something for your wrist" I say, and we both go downstairs.
A&A
Ally's P.O.V
After Austin had wrapped my wrist he walked me to my dorm. "Do you want to watch a movie?" I ask him. His eyes light up, "Yeah, what do you have?" he asks walking over and sitting on my bed. "Um, Iron Man?" I say. "I love that movie!" Austin squeals jumping up and down. "I mean, yeah, sure, why not?" I laugh and sit next to him. In the begging credits I turn to him, "So you live in the frat house?" I ask. "Yeah, my parents built it and realized they didn't need it so they gave it to Dez and I" he said grabbing a blanket and puts it over us, and we lay down. "Oh that's cool, I wish I wasn't cramped in this small dorm with Trish, I love her and all, but sometimes she's a little much" I say. I snuggle in closer to Austin knowing he wouldn't mind, and he puts his arm over my shoulder. I smile, 'Austin would be the perfect boyfriend…WAIT! What am I saying, do I like Austin?' I look over at him and he is intently watching the screen with his angle face, as Tony Stark is about to take a picture with a that is in the tank. 'Oh no, here we go, is it getting hot in here?' I think as the movie continues. I rip the blanket off me and stand up. "What's wrong Alls?" 'Oh my gosh his nickname for me' I think. "Ally?" he asks looking at me. "I..uh.. have to go to the bathroom" I say walking to the bathroom door. I pull out my phone, and text Trish to come back ASAP. 'Pull yourself together Ally', I look in the mirror. I walk back out and sit as far away from Austin as I can on the twin size bed, which isn't very far. Towards the end of the movie, Austin wraps his arms around me, and pulls me to him. He then rolls on top of me, my breath hitched, and his face is inches from mine. I stay still and stare into his eyes until he smirks, and rolls off of me, laying down like nothing happened. "What was that about" I demanded, my voice higher than usual. "Nothing" he smiled, watching the last bit of the movie. Flustered, I pulled out my phone and texted Trish. I made sure not to even mention anything about Austin, knowing he could be reading what I was texting her. After the movie, Austin stood up. "Do you want to go on a walk with me" he asked. " Sure let me get my jacket" I said as I opened the closet and pulled out the jacket Austin gave me. He smiled, "You have great taste". "So I've been told" I smirk. We walk outside and Austin leads us to the edge of campus. We walk silently on the sidewalk. "Ally?" "Yeah" I turned to him because he had stopped walking. "You know I would never hurt you, right?" he said grabbing both of my hands, looking down at me. I looked up into his eyes, "Y-Yeah, I guess". "I- um- I- How do I put this-I" he stopped and let go of my hands. "I have to go" he said walking away. I stood there wondering if I had done something, or if it was something I said. I went back to my dorm and cried, thinking how Austin had just left me.
