Chapter 13

Ally's POV

"How bad is it?" I ask kind of scared to find out what I'd done.

"You didn't do anything illegal," I sigh. "I think," He adds, making me groan.

"Just tell me," I whine. I'm not sure that these are memories that I want to recover.

"Now where's the fun in that?"

"You're mean," I whine, pouting.

"Nice try." He says patting my head.

"At least give my another hint,"

"Fine. It includes the bar,"

After me and Austin dismissed ourselves from that trainwreak of an evening, we stand outside for a minute.

"Hey, didn't you say that the bar isn't far from here?" I ask, really wanting a drink right now.

"Yeah, it's around the corner. Why?"

Not bothering to give him an answer, I take off my shoes and run around the corner. I could hear Austin shouting 'Ally! What are you doing' behind me, but I just dismiss it and carry on running. I could hardly feel the cold pavement beneath my feet, because they were already numb. I could see the flash of lights as I run beside the store signs.

When I reach my destination, I put my shoes on and walk through the door. The club is in full swing. People dancing, the smell of alcohol. Just the place I need right now. I push my way over to the bar the bar and order a couple shots. All for me.

I know that this isn't the best way to vent my anger, and the rational side of my brain would usually take over my adrenaline, and tell me to stop. But just for tonight, I need to go crazy and let it all out.

I take all my shots one after another. The liquid runs down my throat like fire, and my head is starting to pound. That is a sign that I am moderately drunk. All the bright lights, and the moving bodies are like a blur to me by now.

"Hey sexy," A random man who looks homeless says to me. "Looking for a good time?" I scoff at this.

"I am." I say sweetly. His face lights up. "But not with you," I add, making him frown and walk away.

"Ally!" I hear a familiar voice behind me. "God, you had me scared!" I turn to look at him.

"Hey Austin!" I exclaim, my word slurred. He sighs.

"I leave you alone for 5 minutes, and you are already drunk," He mumbles rubbing his temples.

"Why so serious Austin! You need to chill!" I shout, making him raise an amused eyebrow at me.

"We're getting out of here," He says grabbing my wrist.

"No way! This party has just started!" I say thrusting my arm out his grip.

"Ally! Let's just go,"

"Don't be such a party pooper!" I whine, walking away from him.

"Ally, don't do this," Austin while I walk away.

"I want to dance," I decide making my way to dance floor. I slither my way through the pool of people and start swaying to the music. I could hear Austin shouting for me over the music, but ignore it.

Not long after I start dancing, I could feel a masculine body dancing behind me. I turn and look up at the stranger. He was cute, not any thing special, but he'll do for a dance partner. He looks down at me and smiles. We both start swaying alone with the music.

"Ally!" Austin exclaims as he reaches me. I scoff and walk in the opposite direction.

I could hear Austin following me. I walk around, dodging all the dancing people. Soon I find myself at the bar again. I look around to see if Austin is any where near. I think I lost him in the crowd. I take seat at the bar and sigh. I'm not drunk enough yet.

"Can I buy you a drink?" A voice asks. I turn around and see the guy I was dancing with smiling at me again.

"I don't see anyone saying that you can't,"

"Hey, can I get two of the usual," He hollers at the bartender. Soon two drinks are placed in front of us. He picks them up and passes one to me. We cheers and I knock it down my throat in one gulp.

"Wow. You get straight to the point, don't you," He says amused.

"It's been a hard day." I admit.

"Well I can help you forget," He says in a husky voice. I couldn't help but remember when Austin talks like that. I find it way sexier. "Another round!" He hollers at the bartender again. I knock it down again, the liquid burning down my throat again.

"Ally!" Austin shouts sounding kind of annoyed.

"Hey Austin," I greet, words sounding really slurred now.

"Ally! We need to go now," He says sternly.

"Leave me alone," I whine, sounding like a teenaged girl talking to her parents. "You are such a kill joy!"

"Ally, so help me, I'll carry you out."

"Who are you? Her father?" The guy who brought me a drink asks Austin.

"Well no,"

"Her boyfriend?"

"Well not really,"

"Then leave her alone," He says while getting up and grabbing my hand.

He leads me to the dance floor again, and we start dancing again. I could still hear Austin yelling for me. But me and my lovely dance partner just leads me in another direction. Soon we are at the other side of the club, and hardly any other people are around.

"Looks like we lost your little boyfriend."

"He's not my boyfriend," I point out.

"Glad to hear it. That means that he won't mind if I do this," And with that, he leans in for a kiss.

As soon as our lips touch, I push him away, my mind un-fogging and my senses coming back.

"What the hell!" I shout, angry that he'll do that.

"I was kissing you," he states, leaning down for another kiss. I tried to push him off me, but he was holding me hard. I knee him where it hurts and run away. But he just grabs me roughly on the wrist and pushes me against the wall.

"Will you stop struggling you little bitch?" He asks in a harsh voice then kisses me forcefully again. Suddenly he is knocked over the head, and is lying on the floor. I look up to see Austin with his fist clenched, and a wild look in his eyes.

"She said no. Ally lets go," I followed him without hesitation.

He grabbed my hand and basically pulled me through the club. I could tell that he was angry because of his heavy breathing, and the fact that he wouldn't look at me. When we made it out of the club I felt like I could breathe again.

Austin was still dragging me along the road. I look up at him.

"Are you angry with me?" I ask quietly. He stops and looks at me. I could see his eye soften.

"Not angry. Annoyed. Annoyed that you sent me on a wild goose chase. Annoyed that you almost got yourself raped. And annoyed that you turned to drink instead of talking to me."

I just stared up at him for a second not knowing what to say.

"Sorry," I mumble.

"It's alright," He laughs. We walk along for a while in silence. My shoes are killing me.

"Can you give me a piggy back?" I ask out of the blue. He gives me an amused look.

"Sure," He laughs, leaning down so I could jump on.

"Why are you so freakishly tall?" I mumble into his shoulder.

"I think the question is 'why are you so freakishly short?'" We both laugh at this. I inhale his sent as he carries me down the street.

"You smell like a fresh summer breeze," I mumble.

"Thanks," He laughs.

"Dallas used to smell like that," I cry, finally letting my emotions out.

"Forget about that jerk. He doesn't deserve you," He reassures.

"You're just saying that," I mumble miserably.

"No I'm not. You're an amazing, beautiful, talented girl, and anybody would be stupid to let that go,"

"Thanks Austin," I really needed to hear that.

"No problem,"

After that we just walk in a comfortable silence until we reach his car.

"Time to get off," Austin says making me groan. I like being on Austin's back, and being able to hold him.

"I don't wanna," I say like a little girl, giving him a squeeze.

"Come on Ally, you have to get down sooner or later,"

"But you're warm," I whine.

"I'll give you a piggyback some other time,"

"Fine," I mumble, jumping off his back. I jump into the passenger's seat while he jumps behind the wheel.

I leaned my head back and closed my eyes, as he started the car. Why is my love life so horrible? Why couldn't I see that Dallas was unhappy? Am I that bad?

"What are you thinking about?" Austin ask, glancing at me before looking at the road again.

"How terrible my love life is. I mean I must be doing something wrong if I could make Dallas so unhappy,"

"Don't say that Ally. You're amazing. Dallas is the one too coward to say what he feels. Any guy would be lucky to have you caring for them,"

I look at Austin in awe as he drives. He is so sweet. He isn't acting like the asshole that he alternates with the sweet guy. Thank goodness for him. If he wasn't there to save me tonight, what would've happened to me?

He looks angelic right now. The moonlight is shining in all the right places, framing his handsome features. He has a focused look in his eyes as he drives. His hair looks almost metallic, as the silver moon light acts as highlights to his bleach blond hair. All-in-all, he is handsome man.

Soon we are at my apartment building. I hear Austin open his car door and get out. I stay put, and cross my arms stubbornly. I hear him groan, and walk around the car and open my door.

"You're annoyingly stubborn, you know that," He says as more a statement, and not a question. I just stick out my tongue, and turn my head to look out the window on his side.

Suddenly I feel Austin reach over my body, and unbuckle my seatbelt. I reach down and put it back in. I hear him take a deep breath.

"Ally," He says sternly. "I am not playing this game with you. Just let me unbuckle you; then we can all go to bed and have a well deserved rest," He says unbuckling my seatbelt again. I let him do it this time, but I just say sat down, and cross my arms.

"Are you going to get out?" He asks, sounding annoyed. I shake my head. "For the love of-" He mumbles before picking me up and holding my bridal style. Why do they call it that? I start laughing hysterically at my thoughts. Why do they call it that? That's so weird. It's not like I'm his bride. That would mean that we would be getting married!

"Ally?" Austin asks, with a mixture of amusement and worry. I just squirm in his arms, and throw my head back. He just sighs and starts walking.

We walk into the lobby, and I am still laughing. It's when we are in the elevator that I stop.

"Why are we moving?!" I shout, starting to freak out! I start hyperventilating.

"Because we are in an elevator," He says like he is talking to a 3 year old.

"Hold up!" I suddenly say, getting embarrassed by my drunkenness. "Was I really this silly?"

"Yep. You are the most annoying, stubborn, brat when you are drunk,"

"Sorry," I say sheepishly.

"Do you even know what that guy gave you to drink?" I shake my head. I honestly have no idea.

"I would lecture you, but I want you to remember what happened after,"

After my freak out, I am just clinging on to Austin for dear life, my arms around his neck. He is really strong for being able to hold me. But then again, he doesn't have a glorious six pack for nothing.

"You know what would be dumb?" I suddenly ask him, whispering in his ear. I could feel him shiver.

"What?" He asks, breathing heavily.

"If we got married," I finish, remembering my earlier thoughts. After that, I start to nibble on his ear. I could feel his body stiffen.

"Yeah. That would be dumb," He agrees still gasping out. I trail my kiss down to his jaw, then down to his neck.

"Ally," He says in a choked voice. I trail the kiss down his neck. "I would really appreciate you not making out with my neck,"

I ignore his comment, and continue my ministrations. I could hear his heart pounding in his chest in a fast rhythm. Suddenly the elevator 'dings' I could feel him sigh with relief, like he had been holding his breath – which he probably was.

He just carries me to my apartment. He stops at the front door.

"Ally," He chokes out again. "If you can stop for a second, I need your keys," I ignore him again. "For goodness sake!" He groans, frustrated.

I feel him pick up my bag that had been hanging around my neck the whole time, and fumble around. He must have found the keys, because a second later the door was open.

"You don't know what you do to me," I hear him mumble, as he carries me to my room. Once we get there, he puts me on the bed. But because my arms were still around his neck, I pull him down too.

"I want you," I say in a husky voice, looking him in the eyes.

"You're drunk. Go to sleep," He says, pulling himself out of my grip.

"I don't wanna," I whine. He just walks over to my drawers and goes through my belongings. I just start to undress myself.

"Wow, hold you're horses," Austin says when he sees me. He comes over and hands me an oversized top that I sometime wear to bed.

"I don't wanna," I whine again.

"You are like an annoyingly suborn kid when you're drunk," He pulls my arms up, and puts on my top for me.

"Go to bed," He demands. I shake my head. He just picks me and lays me down. He puts the covers over me. "Go to bed," He says softly this time, giving me a small kiss on my forehead, and then starts walking away.

"Austin," I mumble, suddenly feeling really sleepy.

"Yeah,"

"Please stay," I say closing my eyes.

"Sure," He says walking over to the other side of my bed, then undressing until he was only in his boxers. Then he lies down next to me. As soon as he is under the covers, I snuggle up to him.

"You know I like you a lot," I mumble nonchalantly, letting sleep take over my mind.

"Really? I like you too," He says amused.

"Yeah. You're really sexy," I can feel him laugh at that, "And you're sweet and considerate too," I say, snuggling more into his chest.

"Thank you," He replies, not really sure what to say.

"Promise me that you won't break my heart," I mumble into his chest. He hesitates for a moment.

"Promise," He says leaning his head on top of mine. And with that I fell into a blissful sleep. One that was rudely woken up with a horrible hangover.
