It's a long one guys brace yourselves!

Chapter 3:

Trish's POV

"Come on Ally!" I pleaded holding out the bikini I got from her drawer.

"Trish you know its not my style." She sighed as she stuffed clothes in her suitcase.

"Wow, I got this for you for your birthday and you're never going to wear it!? Some friend you are!" I exclaimed. She looked at me and I know I got her. She is too nice to say no and I know I made her feel bad.

"Fine I'll take it. I'm sorry I forgot that it was the one you got me." She said as she got it from my hands and put it in her suitcase. I smiled mischievously and helped her zip it up.

"Plus you have to look nice. Cassidy is taking us to a party. Some guy named Mike is throwing one." I said standing up my suitcases. "You mean she's taking you." Ally said moving her suitcases next to mine so they were organized by the door.

"Come on Ally! It might be our last summer because of college!" I pleaded again. I notice I do that a lot, well Ally is really stubborn.

"Trish you know that I don't –" she started but I cut her off.

"Ally I know! Just promise me you'll try to have fun this summer."I said looking at her in the eye.

"It might our last one together." I sighed sadly. She opened her mouth to speak but then closed it and looked at me with sad eyes.

"Fine, I promise I'll try to have fun this summer." she smiled. I smiled back and then we heard footsteps coming up the door.

"Did I just hear Ally Dawson say she's going to have fun?" Cassidy said in a sarcastically shocked voice.

"Yes you did!" I exclaimed sitting on the bed.

"I can have fun." Ally said sitting on the bed too. Cassidy laughed and sat on the bed and we were in a little triangle.

"I'll prove you both wrong!" Ally said with a huff while rolling her eyes. We shared a look with each other and the three of us just started laughing.

"So, I left my things downstairs. What time does your flight leave?" Cassidy asked looking at us.

"Ours leaves at 3:30, what about you?" Ally asked looking at Cassidy. "Mine leaves at 3:00, so should we leave in about an hour? For I can meet up with my family at the airport?" Cassidy asked.

"This would be so much easier if we all took the same flight." I sighed putting a pillow on my lap.

"I'm a go tell my dad that we should get going in an hour and he probably needs help packing." Ally said getting off the bed and walking out the door.

Ally's POV

I told my dad about leaving soon and helped fold all his clothes in his suitcase and I was now walking back up the hallway into my room. My phone rang and it was Dallas telling me to meet me outside. I was excited while walking downstairs.

"Hey." I smiled pulling him into a hug.

"Hey." he smiled.

"I'm sorry about your uncle." I said still hugging him. I was sad for him. Dallas's uncle died on the day of graduation so he didn't show up but he still got his diploma.

"Thanks. Well I just wanted to say goodbye." he smiled.

"Not goodbye, see you later." I smiled.

"Well then see you later." he smiled while pecking my lips.

We heard a honk and I saw his brother in the car gesturing for Dallas to hurry. I didn't want him to go. I was sad we weren't going to spend summer together. We talked for a little until his brother got really impatient and he had to go. I walked up the stairs and headed towards my room.

I noticed Trish and Cassidy sitting on my bed squealing about something. I was amused because they looked like two little squirrels who just found an acorn.

"What's going on?" I smiled sitting back down on the bed.

"Cassidy here has been hiding something from us." Trish smiled. I looked at Cassidy that had a guilty look on her face.

"What is it?" I asked crossing my arms.

"I've been dating someone since last summer." she said smiling.

"What!" I exclaimed. "How did I not know? I was with you last summer!" I exclaimed.

"Not all of it. You would ditch me for your books remember!" she said pointing at me. I understood now, she probably met the guy at the summer party's she would always go to. I never liked going so I just stayed home.

I looked at her and squinted my eyes but then she laughed and I hugged her as Trish and her squealed. I laughed because we probably look like three little excited squirrels. "I'm sorry I never told you guys." she sighed letting go.

"We aren't mad." Trish smiled as I agreed.

"Now tell us about him!"Trish exclaimed.

"Well I met him last summer, He lives on the same beach as Ally and I." she said smiling as we gestured her to go on.

"We only knew each other for a little bit but we talk a lot over the phone and texts so, I know him a little better now." she said her smile never fading.

"Aww Cassidy I'm so happy for you!" I smiled.

"So what's his name?" Trish smiled.

"His names-" she got cut off by my dad coming in and telling us it was time to go. We got all our and headed for the airport. I was really excited for this summer I think it will be different. I wish I was more care free and wild but I just don't feel that confident. We finally got to the airport and we said bye to Cassidy and her family as we watched her flight leave. We waited until our flight was ready and when it was time we made our way to our seats. I sat by the window, Trish in the middle and my dad on her left.

We waited patiently until we were in the air and I really needed to use the restroom. Once we were in the air and the light for the seatbelt sign went off, I made my way over Trish. She was asleep and so was my dad so I tried my best not to wake them. I managed to climb over them and I made my way down the aisle that led to the bathrooms on the back of the plane. I guess someone decided it would be funny if they stuck there leg out to trip me because my face met the floor of the plane. I heard laughing behind me as I held my nose that was in pain. "What the hell?" I said sitting up. "Whoops sorry." I heard a boy laugh. I whipped my head around and glared at him. He was a little boy probably around 8 or 9 years of age. "It's not funny Nelson, apologize!" I heard another voice say from the seat next to him.

"Sorry." the little boy named Nelson said looking down at his feet. I nodded and stood all the way up. I couldn't see the other guy next to him because the pilot made everyone close the windows in the plane so it was very dark. "Are you okay?" the familiar voice said getting out of his seat.

"I'm fine, you don't have to get up." I smiled. "I was actually on the way to the bathroom too." he said standing up all the way. He followed me to the back of the plane and we waited there not looking at each other because the bathrooms were being used. The silence was killing me so I decided to make conversation. "So you're going to Los Angeles too?" I asked but then face palmed myself for asking that stupid question. He still didn't look at me he just pulled out his phone and answered me. "Yeah my family and I always go to our beach house in Malibu every summer." he said not looking up. I couldn't see him that well but I could tell her had blonde hair.

"Me too!" I exclaimed. "Cool what beach?" he asked. "I live on White Sand beach." I said nonchalantly.

"Really? Me too!" he exclaimed putting his phone away. "There are only 15 houses on that beach which one is yours?" he asked curiously.

"I live in the white one with the deck goes all around it, with the giant windows and blue shutters. You have perfect view of the ocean because it's right in the middle. It has the –" I managed to say knowing I was in a little trance. But he broke me out of it because he was gripping my shoulders. I was startled and said "what are you doing?" while pushing him off.

"Ally?" he asked looking at me. "Yeah, how do you know me?" I asked. The bathroom opened and someone stepped out, he pushed me in there and I got kind of scared. "What the-" I said but he flipped the light on and closed the door. "Austin?" I asked looking at him. He smiled and pulled me into a hug which wasn't hard because the bathrooms were so small.

"Ally!" he exclaimed still hugging me.

"Hi." I smiled when he let go of me.

"I didn't recognize you! You look so different!" he exclaimed eying me up and down making me feel really self conscious.

"Bad different?" I asked looking down.

Austin's POV

I can't believe I'm looking at Ally Dawson, she was my best friend. We went to the same school in Miami since we were in preschool but I left to New York when were about to enter 5th grade. Our parents were close even before we were born; they even bought two beach houses together, where Ally and I would spend every day together when I was a kid. But when I left to New York my parent's mattress business got really busy, even in the summer. We finally went for the first time in a long time last summer but I forgot about Ally. Well can you blame me, it's been years! She stood there looking down when I snapped back from memory lane and realized what she asked me. Yeah she did look different. Did she look bad? Hell no. She looked really good, like REALLY good I didn't even recognize her.

"Good different." I said smiling bringing her chin up. She smiled and looked me.

"You look different too." she said still looking at me.

"Bad different?" I asked mimicking her tone from before.

"You look great." she smiled. Wow she had a great smile. Her lips were so red, and I know she didn't have anything on them because they have always been naturally really red.

"Austin?" she asked snapping her fingers in my face. "Huh? Oh sorry." I said taking my eyes off her lips. "How long has it been?" she asked looking up at me, she was so short compared to me.

"Too long!" I smiled. I just want to tell her so much I just don't know where to begin.

"You stopped calling, and how come you didn't come to the beach house these past summers?" she asked looking at me.

"Well my dad said the business was improving so we couldn't go, but I went for the first time last summer." I said as she nodded and then looked down.

"I missed you." she smiled. I lifted her chin up again and I felt this weird stir in my stomach. I looked at her lips again, they were so perfect. "I missed you too." I smiled. "Are you going to be here the whole summer?" I asked looking at her eyes.

"Yeah, and my best friend Trish. And of course my dad. Oh! And my other friend came too she even has a beach house on the same beach as us." Ally smiled excitedly.

"I thought I was your best friend." I said cockily.

"Austin you aren't my only friend." she added.

"I was." I joked.

"Whatever." she laughed.

"I'm sorry I never called." I said feeling guilty.

She shook her head. "It's fine, we can just make up for lost time this summer." she smiled.

"I'd like that." I smiled. "So am I still your best friend?" I asked jokingly.

"Of course but I have two other ones now. I figured that I would never see you again so I just a- forgot a- about you." she stuttered looking down again.

Ally's POV

I felt bad because I did forget about Austin. We were best friend and he just left me so I was moved on. I stared at my feet and then at his shoes. Wow, they got big. So did he, he was really tall and very nicely built. You could even see the outline of his muscles on his white shirt. I guess I was staring and he snapped me back in. "Ally, don't worry I kinda did too." he smiled. I nodded and looked up at him.

"But were together now!" he exclaimed. "Yeah and-" I said while looking at my surroundings. "Were in a bathroom." I laughed. "I don't even have to go anymore." he laughed.

"Me either." I said opening the door and getting out. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. "Don't go now I haven't seen you in forever and there so much I want to tell you!"he exclaimed.

"Austin I promise we will catch up, are you going to Mikes party?" I asked.

"Yeah, are you?" he asked kind of shocked.

"Yeah, Trish making me." I sighed.

"I figured, you don't really like parties, or people, or fu-"

"Fun?" I said taking the word right out of him. "Well it-" he started but I cutting him off again.

"So your saying we had no fun when we were little?" I said clearly offended.

"That's not what I meant, we had so much fun! It's just that you were always at the library at recess or reading a book when we were playing tag and-" he said but I cut him off.

"I get it!" I sighed. I can be so fun! Just without being reckless. Rather be safe than sorry right?

"Ally I-" he started again.

"I promised Trish I would loosen up a little bit this summer. So I'll try to be fun!" I smiled.

"Okay, but you don't have to prove anything." he said smiling then looking at my lips. He kept looking at them. Did I have something in my teeth?

Someone knocked on the bathroom door so we both got out. The man standing there looked at us weirdly and Austin and I both laughed.

I was about to turn around and go back to my seat but he touched my shoulder making me turn around. "I'll see you soon?" he asked smiling while I nodded my head and turned around to find my seat. Trish was still asleep, "Of course" I said while trying to hop over her. I pulled out my song book/diary and pulled out the little table in front of me. I wrote down what happened today and some lyrics that I came up with. I thought about Austin and I thought about this summer and what it has in store. Hope fully it's one to remember.
