Austin's POV
My parents nodded.
"Of course, she can stay at our home," my dad said. Mom nodded.
"Yes, Ally is welcome to stay at our home for as long as she needs," Mom said. Ally's dad looked like a ghost.
"All right, she can stay," Mr. Dawson managed to get out before he lapsed into a stony silence. The doctor smiled.
"Well, I am glad that you all have agreed. You may leave," he said. My family left. Ally and I both got up from our wheelchairs. I held her hand as we walked out.
"So, Lester," my mother said, her voice void of any emotion, "Why don't you take Ally home to get her things? My husband will pick her up from your home," she said. She was careful not to emphasize 'our' when she spoke. My parents liked Ally, but the same could not be said for her dad. My parents didn't like him for some reason.
"Of course, Mimi," Ally's dad said and he took Ally to his car. I shook my head.
"I'll go with her, Mom," I said and my mother smiled at me.
"Sure, Austin," she said. I followed along with Ally and her dad. I sat with her at the back of the car as her dad drove.
I looked around Ally's room as she packed her suitcases. She had finished packing her clothes and was now packing things like books into a separate suitcase.
"You done?" I asked as she zipped the suitcase closed.
"Yeah," she said. Her father carried most of her luggage since I couldn't lift anything heavy as it would hinder my healing but I managed to help by carrying her bag of toiletries, which was pretty light. Her dad put the suitcases into the trunk of my dad's car before telling her goodbye.
"My dad's decided to go on a business trip," Ally said as we drove to my house.
"Oh, well, that's nice," I said as my Dad parked the car in the driveway. We climbed out as he started to take out the suitcases.
"Alright, Ally, you'll be sleeping in the spare room next to Austin's bedroom," my dad said as he struggled with the suitcases. I took Ally's hand and led her to the spare room. It was painted a nice and cheerful yellow color with blue stripes, which were Ally's favorite colors. I'd painted the room during Christmas because Ally stayed with us while her dad was away on a trip. The bed covers had been changed from a dull white to a dark blue one with yellow stars. We still hadn't changed it from the last time Ally had come over since it was still clean and she'd only used it once.
"I remember this room," she said as she looked around. Her suitcases were right by the bed. Light streamed from the curtain-less window. I smiled at her.
"What do you remember?" I asked. She looked at the TV in front of her room.
"I used to sleep here, didn't I?" she said. I nodded.
"Yeah, you did," I said. She looked pleased.
"Do you need help unpacking?" I asked. She nodded.
The room looked brighter after we put her stuff around. We looked proudly at our work.
"Austin, it's dinner time!" my mom called from downstairs. Ally moved to go to the dining room. I stopped her.
"Don't worry, I got this," I said and went downstairs. I asked my mom if I could take dinner up to my room. She agreed.
When I got back upstairs holding a tray, Ally was staring at a movie case.
"Hey, what you looking at?" I asked, as I laid the tray carefully on the rug.
"This is your movie," she said, as she gave me the case. It was my latest movie, Teen Beach Movie.
"Yeah, wanna watch it?" I asked. She nodded.
"Okay," she said and sat on the rug. My mother made rice with roast beef and vegetable soup for dinner and for dessert, there was a slice of apple pie. Ally and I sat down, watching a movie and eating. For a while, we tried to forget what had happened to us, the terrifying things that we had experienced and tried to lose ourselves in a movie trapped forever in summer.
The next updates are going to be longer. But please tell me what you thought.
