Hey there my lovely readers :D

Thank you guys for following and reviewing, I'm so excited I got over 1500 views, I can't believe this.

I'm sorry that this chapter is even shorter than the last one, but it's still a chapter.

I don't own Austin and Ally or anything else you may recognize.

"Hello?" I answered. I didn't check the caller ID. I just answered the phone which was lying on my nightstand. It was late, the sun wasn't shining anymore, and it was pretty dark and cold for Miami outside. The only light in my room was coming from the lamp beside my bed. I was lying in my bed, not sleeping. With all those thoughts in my head it was impossible to sleep.

What I heard from the conversation I overheard of Ally is that Ally's life is far from what it was two years ago. I was really surprised and shocked that I didn't know that Ally's mom passed away. I can't believe that I was so stupid. I just couldn't believe it and I just won't believe it until Ally tells me everything herself. I now know that her dad is drinking and I think he is mentally unstable. I just now understand how broken from inside she is. It's not a surprise she doesn't smile anymore.

When I picked up the phone she was the last person I thought who would call me and at that time. But it was her and she spoke calmly in her soft voice.

"Hello Austin."

"Ally? Is that you?" I think I sounded sleepy, because she asked,

"I didn't wake you up, did I? And yes Austin it's me"

"Oh no you didn't I wasn't sleeping."

I waited for her to say something but she didn't so I asked, "So… what's up?"

"Oh nothing just…"

And then there was that long pause.

I waited for her to say something. I had a feeling that she wanted to tell me something important so I waited patiently.

"I know that you overheard my conversation with my dad…" then she stopped again.

"Ok I'm not going to lie and say that I didn't hear anything. I'm sorry I didn't mean to. I just got curious. I'm sorry, what I did was…" she cut me off there.

"No Austin, don't be sorry. I should have told you everything a long time ago. It's just hard. I need some time Austin and I promise I will tell you everything. I will answer all your questions." Then she stopped again and I said, "So maybe we should meet up some time. Go out somewhere or better I can come over or you can come over to my house?"

I guess I got nervous or excited because I started rambling. But she ignored it.

"I don't know maybe it's best if I'll come over after my shift at sonic Boom on Tuesday… maybe at 5?"

"That's good I'm free."

"Bye then. See you later and goodnight Austin…" she said softly.

"Good night Ally," and after a second she hung up.

I had my phone still in my hands and I realized that this was our first normal human conversation we had for a very long time. I was surprised we talked and for the first time it didn't feel weird. It felt like it was just a normal conversation between two friends. I'm really excited. I can't wait till Tuesday.

Ally's POV

I took a deep breath. I can't believe it. I did it, I talked to him. We had a normal conversation. I was so nervous but I called him so quickly that I couldn't even register what I was doing until he picked up the phone and answered me. I was really nervous and I wanted to hang up, but then I thought that I would be rude so I just talked to him. I'm still really nervous I don't even know what I will tell him. How will I tell him? What will he say? Will he be angry? I don't think he will. I hope he will understand. He's not the kind of person to get angry with me because of that…
I continued travelling in my dream world until it was about 1 am and then I drifted to sleep.

I was woken up by a loud bang in the house. I pulled myself out of the bed and went down to see what happened. But I couldn't find anything except a note on the counter from my father as always.

It said that he left. He left for a week now. He left on a business trip but he didn't say where. He left me some money as usual. And he said not to lock up Sonic Boom… that this time we could run out of business if I continue closing the store every time he leaves on his business trips or conventions. I agree because his trips became quite frequent. Before he went with them once in two months but now he leaves about twice a month and stays at home less than a week.

In the end there was hit signature writing, "love you Ally-Gator."

I looked at the clock; it was six am. There was no point in going back to sleep so I decided to just get ready for school and meet up with Trish.
I took a shower, did my usual morning routine and put on some dark jeans and a plain gray shirt with some wedges. I grabbed my school bag, phone, house keys, and went out of the door.

When I met up with Trish, we still had some time left until school started so we decided to just sit down somewhere and talk. It was sunny and warm outside so we decided to sit under a tree.

We were talking randomly about everything really and then I decided to tell Trish that I called Austin yesterday and that we are going to meet up to tell him everything.

She was slightly shocked and surprised. Her face was full of emotions and she had her mouth slightly opened but then she smiled and hugged me.
" To be honest I didn't expect you to do something like that. In fact you are the last person I ever expected to do something like that. That was really brave I'm proud of you Ally."

I hugged her once more. We talked some more and then we went inside the school.

The next chapter is way bigger than this one so it's worth waiting I promise :D

I'm sorry for any kind of mistakes I made, and please review I want to read what you think about the story.

Until next time...

Salome ;)
