A/N Okay so I'm in the car for a long car trip so I'll be able to write like at least one long chapter. :P Maybe more than one, dunno yet. c: Dude I'm like obsessed with "The Way" by Ariana Grande, soo good. love that chick. I got a ton of reviews on the past chapter! Thanks so much! Enjoy this chapter. :D
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.
Throughout the next week I forced myself to stop thinking about Austin going to college in a few months. Hopefully he wouldn't go too far away.
We had broken up and now acted pretty normal at school. It made me a little sad, but we spent nearly every living minute with each other out of school. He was still performing at his gig twice a week, but he informed me that he was planning on quitting before summer started so that we could spend more time with each other and with Dez and Trish.
Leah still gave me dirty looks at school, but when Austin had told her about the break up, she actually stopped telling people that Elliot and I had done things. Most people knew the truth by now, anyways.
Leah thought she would have a chance with Austin since we were no longer official, but she was wrong. Austin imminently brushed her off and refused to speak with her. I had no problem with that, and I just laughed every time that she would look at Austin with those puppy dog eyes.
It was exactly a week after that Friday when Austin and I had broken up and he announced that he would be working towards going to college. He was in my room, along with Trish and Dez.
"I can't believe you guys broke up." Dez pouts, and I roll my eyes at him.
"We're still together though, Dez. Just privately."
Dez nods, obviously not impressed.
Austin also nods, from where he's scrolling through something on his phone, leaning again the wall on my floor. Trish and I are on my bed.
"I can't wait 'til summer, guys!" Trish groans. I just ignore her, because I simply can't share her excitement.
I give Austin a weak smile, and he frowns as if saying 'I'm sorry'. He was now aware that I was extremely upset about him leaving.
I look at the clock. It's about 8 pm.
"So, guys," I sigh, "what is there for a group of teenagers to do at 8 on a Friday night?" The bar was closed tonight because the manager was sick, therefore Austin's gig for tonight had been cancelled, and we didn't really know what to do with ourselves. My dad was home, and instructed us to be quiet because he had a headache, so there was nothing entertaining for us to do here.
Austin looks thoughtful. "Let's go streaking." He says jokingly. And we all grin at him stupidly. "You're an idiot." Trish commented, and Austin shrugs. "I was just kidding."
"Wanna go down to the beach?" I ask, and they look thoughtful. "Like, to our private spot, or the public beach?" Trish asks.
I shrug, indicating it doesn't matter to me.
"How about we get some beer and go to the private beach?" Dez suggests.
Trish raises her eyebrow at him. "Who's going to get the beer for us, doof? Ian doesn't live here anymore."
Dez's face falls. "Oh, yeah."
"The public beach it is!" Austin declares, standing up and putting his phone in his pocket.
We all pile in to Dez's truck, because it's biggest. We leave Austin's Mustang and Trish's convertible in my driveway as we speed off, laughing. We lived for the weekends.
Once there, we hopped out and raced towards the sand. There weren't many people on the beach tonight, but there were a few up on The Pier where Austin used to do his monthly gig.
We plop down on the sand, discarding our shoes.
"We should have brought a blanket." Trish huffs as she wipes sand off her legs.
We have some irrelevant conversations here and there. Then, out of nowhere, Austin says, "Ally, it's been forever since we've written a new song."
I nod slowly. "Yeah, but we finished our album."
He stares off at the waves lapping the shore. "Yeah, I know."
We leave it at that. Austin and I had written twelve great songs together, and I really just didn't have it in me to write any more with him since he would be leaving. Don't get me wrong, I love Austin, and our music, but it just wouldn't be the same anymore...
Austin wraps his arm around me and I lean my head on his shoulder. Trish and Dez are patting together a mound of sand in the darkness a few feet away.
"What am I supposed to do when you're gone?" I murmur solemnly, and he sighs.
"Ally, I don't want you to think about it. We still have a lot of time together. It's only nearly February."
I nod, and he kisses my forehead. I smile and snuggle up to him.
Okay, so I would just stop worrying about him leaving until the time came. I could cross that bridge when I got there. Right now, I just needed to enjoy the time I was sharing with my bestfriends.
It was getting late, so we headed back to my house. Dez decided to leave right away, because he was tired, so we waved him bye as he backed out of my driveway.
"Well," Trish sighs, "you know I don't like being the third wheel, so I'm gonna go, too." She smiles and waves as she digs her keys out of her purse and also pulls away.
"Do you need to get home, too?" I ask Austin once Trish is gone. He looks thoughtful, then he slumps his shoulders. "I suppose. I promised mom I would clean my room tonight and I haven't even started."
I just smile up at him, then get on my tippy toes and peck him on the lips. "We'll hang out tomorrow."
He smiles and squeezes my hand, walking towards his own car, and I walk to my porch. I hear him whistle at me as I walk, and I just turn my head and blow him a kiss. He winks at me before ducking his head in to his car and shutting the door.
Once in my own room, in my pajamas, it was about 10 and I crawled under the covers. I pull the comforter up to my chin and sigh with happiness, still unable to believe that Austin Moon was mine all mine.
A/N Well, at least she's not still depressed, right? Thanks for reading. :) Review,favorite, and follow! Thanks so much!
