Chapter 28

Ally's P.O.V.

After we left the Statue of Liberty, we all ate dinner in a small café.

"The Empire State building is open later than usual tonight, we should go see the city lights once it gets dark" Dez said, looking at his phone.

"I'm down with that" Austin said with a mouthful of food.

I giggled and put my head on Austin's shoulder. I could see him smile from the corner of my eye.

"I love you" Austin whispered in my ear. I smiled, loving the feeling that Austin Monica Moon, loves me, Ally Dawson.

"I love you too" I whispered.

A&A

It was already past 8 when we got to the empire state building, so the elevators were closed and we had to walk up the stairs. After walking up like 1,000 flights of stairs, we reached the top. I gasped. New York keeps getting better and better.

I walked to the railing and looked down at the car lights and people below us. I looked up and saw the skyline, all of the huge buildings were screaming beautiful.

"I'm so glad we came to New York" Austin said from behind me. "I never want to forget any of this trip, the sights, the food, the music, you" he finished, putting his finger under my chin and tilting it up to see my face better. "You're beautiful" he whispered, before hugging me tightly.

I immediately hugged back, never wanting to forget this feeling. "Don't let go yet" I whispered.

"I wasn't going to" Austin replied, his head buried in my hair. (WHAT UP A&A REFERANCE)

A bright light flashed, and we both turned to see Dez holding a camera, and smiling. Austin turned his gaze towards me and moved a piece of hair behind my ear, and kissed my forehead. "I love you"

A&A

Christmas Eve

We were all sitting on the penthouse couch, watching Pitch Perfect, and drinking hot chocolate with Christmas cookies.

I snuggled up closer next Austin, and put my head on his chest. His heartbeat quickened for a minutes but then slowed down.

"Ally, I have something to give you, wait here" Austin said, getting up and running to our room. He returned with a small red box with ribbon around it. "Here" he said smiling, handing me the box.

I untied the ribbon and lifted the lid of the box, revealing a white envelope. "Open it" Austin said.

I lifted the package out of the box, a ripped the top off, showing 4 slips of paper. I took one of them out and read it. "OM-FREANKING-G" I screamed, running around the living room.

"What is it?" Trish asked, standing up, while Austin stood there smirking.

I stopped running and to catch my breath, "Front row seats to a Sometime Last Night concert tomorrow!" I squealed. I am literally dying. R5 is my favorite band ever, and my best friends are coming with me!

"There's more" Austin said, holding up the box that I had thrown on the couch. He reached in and pulled out two lanyards. My eyes went wide and my legs collapsed underneath me.

"I'm going to meet R5!" I said laying on the floor. I held out my hand for the lanyard, but Austin helped me up instead. I stood up and Austin smiled at me, "I thought you would like it" he said.

I took both the lanyards from Austin and put one over my head and put the other over Austin's.

"Thankyou so much" I said with a huge smile. I gave him a peck on the lips and then stared at the tickets.

"I'm going to meet R5!" I yelled, dancing around the penthouse.

A&A

I woke up to Austin jumping on the bed. "Ally, come on! We haven't got all day" he whined.

"Five more minutes" I groaned, rolling to the other side of the bed.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS" Dez and Trish yelled, running into the room.

After being thrown onto Austin's shoulder and carried into living room, and set down on the couch, we all got our presents, so I had to go back to my room and get everyone's gifts from the closet. I gathered all of the gifts and walked back to the living room. Austin had waited until I left the room to get his presents from his suitcase.

"Okay, I'm here, we can open gifts now" Austin smiled.

We all grabbed a present from the table with our name on it and opened it.

Trish got a gift card to AnimalPrintPalooza from Dez, 3 naked pallets from me, and a Vera Bradley backpack from Austin, which I helped him pick out.

Dez got a polaroid camera from me, suspenders from Austin which he loved, and a visa gift card from Trish.

Austin got expensive hair gel from Dez and a visa gift card from Trish.

I got a pair of Sperry boots from Trish, a stuffed llama from Dez, and I could tell that Austin was waiting to give me his present, so I went in the kitchen and got a tall, skinny box, and brought it to Austin.

I watched eagerly as Austin tore off the wrapping paper and his eyes widened when he realized what it was. He opened the box and pulled out a solid white electric guitar. "When did you even get this" Austin asked, admiring the guitar, and plucking the strings.

"A little after we got here" I smiled.

"I love it" Austin said, flashing a genuine smile at me. "I'll be right back" Austin ran into our room and came out seconds later empty handed.

He sat down on the couch and pulled me down with him, holding both of my small hands in his large ones. "Ally I love you so much, and you are probably the best thing to ever happen to me. Ever since we got in New York, I've been thinking about my future, our future, and I cannot see myself with anyone else"

Austin pulled out a small box and opened it revealing two rings, the larger one, a plain silver band, and the smaller one, identical, but with a small diamond in the middle, "These are just promise rings because I know we're young, but I'm in love with you Ally Dawson, and that will never change. Will you wear it?" he whispered the last part looking directly into my eyes.

I was speechless, so I just smiled. He slipped both rings onto our left hands, and gave me a nervous smile. I pushed Austin down on the couch and kissed him, confirming my answer.

YASSSSS! New chapter! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, my grades have been low and I'm trying to get them up. I don't own anything mentioned in this chapter. Next chapter will be when they go to the concert.
