Chapter 36

Two months will fly by when you're having fun.

This summer was defiantly one to remember.

And now it's over.

Dez is moving to L.A., he is going to film school. And Austin, New York

A&A

"Austin, how much stuff do you need in your dorm?" I ask, carrying another box of his belongings up the stairs. "Aren't dorms supposed to be small?" I struggle with the last box, and it is lifted out of my arms by a topless blonde boy.

"Come on, we can unpack my stuff" Austin says. (ok, so the dorms are kinda like apartment/ motel kinda stuff, you know how motels you park infront of your room and you can see all the doors from outside? It's like that but classy and only on one side, the buildings are kinda in a half circle around like a big grassy area with a fountain in the middle I will try to draw a picture

So there are the buildings \_/ there is a courtyard, in the middle, a fountain, and on the outside of the Half hexagon is parking and you can walk through the building to get to your car or room. The rest of the campus is walking north so they are on the south side. Oh and there are other dorms too, so they aren't the only ones.)

We get to Austin's dorm and the door had closed behind us and automatically locked itself.

"Crap" Austin said, "Ally, the keys are in my back pocket, can you get them?" he asked. I hesitated but put my hand in his back pocket. "They aren't there" I said.

Austin adjusted the heavy box in his arms, "Check the other one" I quickly slid my hand in his other back pocket. "Not there either, did you drop it?" I asked worried.

Austin smirked, "No it's in the front pocket, I just wanted you to touch my butt" he laughed.

I slapped Austin's chest and pulled the keys out of the front pocket. "Hurry please this box isn't getting any lighter" he said with a strained voice.

I unlocked the door and we both walked inside. Austin had managed to get a room by himself, slightly smaller, but more privacy. Austin set the box down and we started opening the other 20 boxes.

"Austin, where are you putting your hoodies?" I asked. Austin had put every hoodie he owned in a box to bring with him.

Austin looked around the room, "Um, not sure yet, but I have a box with blankets, you can make my bed" Austin said, nodding his head to a box on the other side of the room.

After 4 hours of organizing stuff, we had finally finished. Austin and I laid on his small twin size bed, looking at the room. "It looks nice" I say quietly. "Yeah" Austin agreed.

I checked my phone for the time, "Austin, I have to go, my plane leaves in an hour"

Austin pouts and pulls me into a hug, "I don't want you to leave, stay here with me, please" he begged.

"I already have a ticket"-

"I'll buy you a new one"

"When will the next flight be to Nashville?"

"I don't know, but stay" Austin pleaded.

"Austin- I can't" I say

"Will you visit me a lot?" he asked.

"Only if you visit me" I smile, I kiss his cheek and break the hug to get my bags.

I look back at Austin, "I guess this is goodbye, for now" I give a sad smile.

Austin hugs me again, and gives me a kiss on the forehead. We had agreed that cheeks and foreheads were okay, but we knew we couldn't actually kiss, or we would never move on from each other.

"Bye Ally"

"Bye Austin"

I close the door behind me and walk down the flight of stairs to get to ground level. I walk for a good minute through the courtyard and past the fountain, to find a taxi by a busier street. I see a few taxies up ahead and start walking quicker so no one else gets them before me.

"Ally wait!" I hear a familiar yell. I turn and see Austin 30 feet away sprinting at me. I stop and walk towards him, and once we were closer he slowed down.

"What ar"- I'm cut off by Austin smashing his lips against mine. I drop my bags and kiss back, wrapping my arms around his neck. No Ally, you can't do this to yourself. But it feels so right. Every memory of this summer comes flashing through my mind like a vivid storm.

Us all flying back from Africa.

Tons of sleep overs at Austin's house

The waterpark we went to and Dez almost drowned. Lol, not funny.

All the theme parks and Austin being a gentleman and buying me food after we rode all the rides.

Fourth of July when we all went to a bonfire party and watched the fireworks while Austin and I held hands

Making trips to Nashville for no reason and going to random places

Helping Austin pack up for college.

But most of all, my favorite memory of us, graduation night.

We pull away for air, breathing hard. "I still love you" Austin says with a pain filled face.

"And I still love you" I say. I yank Austin's shirt collar down and kiss him again, this time slower and more passionate.

I pull away and Austin gives a slight smile, "Goodbye Ally Dawson"

I smile back "Goodbye Austin Moon"
