A/N Next chapter! Glad I could get it up tonight :) Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin&Ally nor am I associated with it in any way. All characters belong to Disney, however, I created Ian. All I did was twist the story line. I also don't own the song "Never Say Never" by The Fray, nor am I associated with The Fray.

"AUSTIN!" Dez exclaimed as he stormed into the practice room the next day. "Again? Really?"

The mustache was now halfway smudged across his face where he'd been sleeping. I snorted a laugh, and Austin gave him a cheeky grin. "I am SO going to start locking my windows!" He screeches.

"Sure you are, Dez..." Austin says, with a roll of his eyes. Ian comes in behind Dez, hunched over in laughter. "Look at his face!" He howls between laughs. Now I'm hunched over laughing.

Trish, Austin, and I were in the practice room. We were showing Trish the progress on our album, which we now had four songs on. Trish was in the floor laughing. "That look really suits you, Dez!" She cackles.

He huffs, then storms back out of the room. All of us continue laughing until we can no longer breathe, and Trish and Ian are both in the floor while Austin has his head face-down on the piano and I'm on the couch with my knees pulled up to my chest.

"Okay..." Austin says, catching his breath. "That's the last time I'm doing that. I'm afraid his parents will get suspicious."

Ian nods, wiping tears off his face. "But you could do it one more time... In Sharpie."

Austin laughs. "I'll leave that task to you, big bro." He decides.

Ian sticks around so that he can hear the album too. After he's listened to the four songs, he says, "Man, I'll tell you, those are some awesome songs. But... The first one, it just... What's it called? 'Never Say Never'? It really makes an impression on me, for some reason."

I smile. I think it made an impression on everyone who heard it. It was just one of those songs.

Trish and Ian left, and Austin and I were left alone. As I walk past him, heading to the piano, he grabs me by the waist and pulls me on to the couch with him. I giggle.

Then, his lips are on mine, which I'm used to, but it was different this time. His lips are moving in sync with mine, and his hands are on my waist, and his tongue is grazing mine...

It was different, but I liked it. Then he pulls away, and I'm momentarily dissapointed. His chocolate orbs look into my eyes. "I'm sorry, if I came on to strong... Again..." But he's smiling, so I think he knows he didn't. I swallow. "That was my first kiss. Real kiss, I mean."

He looks completely surprised, and something flashes in his eyes, but I don't know what. I think it's dissapointment. "Really? He says nervously, with a squeak in his voice.

I nod slowly. "I don't expect me to have been your first though, Austin. I'm sure you've had many of chances throughout your years of school."

He looks away from my eyes. "Are you a virgin, Ally?" He murmurs, almost too low to understand. It took me by complete surprise. "Yeah," I say, as if he should know the answer, "aren't you?"

When he doesn't say anything, and he refuses to meet my eyes, I know his answer.

"Oh..." I murmur, not really sure what I was feeling. I guess I had just assumed that most kids wouldn't do that kind of thing in high school, but what did I know? I just got to highschool. I was 16 and just had my first makeout.

He takes my hand, and finally looks me in the eyes. "Please don't be upset. I'm changing, Ally. Since I've met you, I've stopped doing a lot of wrong things. Remember how I didn't even realize that we didn't have a party last weekend? I'm not really in to that stuff anymore. You're changing me, Ally. You're making me a better person. And I haven't been with anyone since the moment I laid eyes on you."

I nod slowly. "Who was it?" I murmur.

He looks away again. "The honest truth?" He asks, and I nod, curious. He sighs. "It was Kira Starr."

Kira Starr. I would have never known. She was such a sweet girl.

"Why?" I ask. He sighs. "I don't know, we were drunk. But she's the only one I've ever been with. More than once, but only her."

I sigh. It was like my idea of Austin being perfect was suddenly ripped from me. His innocence just wasn't there anymore. I had known all the other things: parties, being drunk, typical senior things. But this was just kind of different for me. It took me aback. My parents had always taught me that your virginity was something that you needed to keep until marriage. I gently touched the purity ring around my left ring finger. On the top, it said 'love' in cursive, and on the bottom side, it recited 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 "Love is patient, Love is kind, Love never fails".

"Are you really mad?" He asks cautiously. "No, Austin." I answer honestly. I sigh. "Not everyone has the some morals as I do, and I understand. You were drunk, anyway. You didn't know what you were doing."

He nods, seeming hurt. "I won't do it anymore. I've regretted it every day that I've been with you, or been your friend, or been your partner. It felt wrong, but I'm glad you know now, even though you probably look at me... differently."

I shrug. "It may change my view of you, but... Not that much." Then I smile at him, to lighten the mood. "I still like you."

He smiles and hugs me. Nobody's perfect, I reminded myself. This was Austin's big flaw. Mine was that I had been homeschooled until my junior year. We all had things that we were embarrassed about. Yet, this still hurt me.

A/N Hope you liked it! Review, favorite, and follow! Also, tell me what you think will happen later on. I want to see what other people think this is leading to. I think a lot of you will be surprised. :) Thanks.
