A/N: Back with a new chapter! Sorry it's so short. :/ It was indeed a very enjoyable one to write, though. :) It kind of brings out just how close these group of teenagers are. Enjoy these final chapters, guys. Pay real close attention. The sequel will be much, much, much different (in terms of the characters). They will be a lot more... "Grown up" so to speak. So enjoy this last bit of childishness you get to see out of them. :) Much love for my viewers.
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, Leah and Tenley. 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.
Trish is giving me a pedicure at the new nail salon she works at. We're talking about girly things, per usual. I can't help but notice what a terrible paint job she's doing on my toenails, but I don't say anything.
"So, Ally..." Trish says, trying to open the topcoat bottle, "How do you think you're going to manage Austin leaving? That's really gonna suck."
"I know." I groan, "I can't believe he'll be gone in just a week and a half. I don't know how I'm going to cope."
She sighs, finally getting the bottle opened. "I swear I've never seen a couple as close as you two in just high school. I knew it was going to happen all along, but whatever." She shrugs.
I giggle. "I'm glad I attended public school. Even if I'm going to be heartbroken while I'm waiting for him the next five years of my life, it's been worth it." I smile weakly.
She raises her eyebrows at me. "Ally, do you really think you won't see him for five years straight? Of course you will! There will be summer breaks, and I'm sure you'll see him every one of those! Not to mention he might get a record deal and go on tour. Won't he want you to go with him?"
I nod, remembering what Austin had told me about making sure I come on tours with him. "Yeah, but still, Trish. He's going to be so busy, and so will I. I'm sure I'm just overreacting and I'm sure you're right... I hope so, anyways."
She just shrugs, dropping the conversation. After my horrible pedicure is finally over, Trish and I leave, even though she still has an hour left on her shift. Austin and Dez were out working for some people in my neighborhood today, believe it or not. Mowing yards, weed-eating and whatnot. I feel sorry for them, because today is one of the hottest, most humid days of the summer.
I had brought Trish to work today, so she got in the car with me. We made our way to a coffee shop, where we ordered Frappe's and then made our way back to my house. Dad wasn't home, he was working. We went up to my room and found something interesting on the television before making ourselves comfortable and slurping on our drinks.
"I miss Ian." Trish whimpers. I look at her funny, and she does the same to me. "What? He's hot." She protests, and I burst out laughing. Typical Trish. True, Ian was incredibly attractive, but as of late I've always just viewed him as my brother. Trish throws a pillow at me, laughing too. "Stop!" She gasps, trying to catch her breath. "You know it's true!"
Once we finally calm down, we continue our actions from before. A few minutes later, a large crack of thunder is heard through my open window, startling us. Not soon after, the rain begins to fall.
I get up and close my window, grumbling. I hated the rain, and especially thunderstorms. Trish seems completely unphased by it, though, as she takes the last sip of her drink, then throws her cup across the room, missing my trashcan.
"Trish!" I grumble, crossing the room and putting the cup in to the trashcan myself. She shrugs.
The storm continues, and we chat about a new movie that should be coming out soon that we should definitely go see. In the midst of our conversation, I hear my front door open and close. I figure it's probably my dad, but once I glance at my clock, I realize that he won't be off work for another two hours. Confused, I don't have time to think before a soaking wet Austin and Dez come sprinting through my door.
I screech and Austin tackles me, laughing. "Ew!" I screech, also laughing, "Get off!" His soaking wet clothes were seeping through my own clothes and down to my skin.
He retreats, and I groan, because I'll have to change my clothes. I just look them up and down as they just stand there, nonchalantly dripping water on to my hardwood floors. I shew them in to the bathroom and dig my hairdryer out of my cabinet. "Here!" I huff, handing it to them. "I know it won't be much help, but just wring out your clothes in the sink or something... Anything." I close the door and head to my closet to find something to change in to. Trish is still laughing about the incident. Okay, so, it was pretty funny.
"They must have gotten caught in the rain while working." Trish observes, listening to the sound of the hairdryer in my bathroom, and Austin and Dez's laughs. I nod, slipping a new tee shirt over my head and depositing the other one in my dirty clothes basket.
After about twenty minutes, Austin and Dez emerge from my bathroom. Their hair is dry, and they've left their nasty shoes in my bathroom, but their clothes are still damp. I lay a towel across my floor for them to sit on.
"The funny part is," Dez says between laughs, "we tried climbing that ladder we have that leads up to your window, but it was closed, so we had to make our way to the front door. I can't believe you guys didn't spot us trying to open that window!" Austin is laughing right along with him, and Trish and I are too, just not as hard.
Days like today are the days that I will truly cherish. No matter what happens between Trish, Dez, Austin, and I... I will always remember the memories I've shared with them. The best year of my life, by far. I've taken chances. I've gotten in to some tough situations. I've learned about the good times and the bad. As I sit here, with the best friends a girl could ever ask for, and Austin gazing at me lovingly, I never want it to end. Maybe this is just the first chapter of our story. Our lives together will always be difficult at times, I'm sure.
Austin reads the emotions on my face and he leans forward to whisper in my ear. "Stop worrying," he murmurs, "and enjoy the remaining time we have together."
And that's exactly what I'm going to do... Because it's all I can do.
A/N: Don't forget to review, favorite, and follow! Once more, sorry it is so incredibly short. D: I'm ashamed, but when I got to where the ending is I felt like it was the perfect place to stop, regardless of length.
