"I love you, Ally Dawson"
My heart stopped at his words. What did he mean by that? His next words definitely answered my question.
"You're the best friend a guy could ask for" He says, cuddling me closer. I couldn't help but feel disappointed. Not that he would ever like me like that anyway, right? I still couldn't help but let my mind wander back to the night he kissed me.
What had he meant whenever he said the kiss was all my fault? I was beyond confused.
After about ten minutes of sitting quietly by the swing set, I felt myself dosing off. The last thing I remember was someone's arms wrap around my legs and the sound of a car engine starting.
Then off to dream land I went.

I woke up the next morning in an unfamiliar place. I stared at the walls for what seemed like hours, trying to figure out why I was in this yellow room. Instead of freaking out like any other normal person would, I just sighed and turned on my other side.
I nearly jumped out of bed whenever I heard a voice ask "You awake?"
I quickly relaxed whenever I heard the laugh of my blonde friend come from the floor.
"So I'm guessing this is your room?" I ask him, sitting up and dangling my feet off his bed.
"Yep. You like it?" Was his response. I looked around and saw a couple of posters of comic book characters and music notes with bits and pieces of lyrics written all over his walls. As already stated, his room was painted a bright yellow. He had a couple of shirts thrown around on the ground but other then that, his room was fairly clean. Well, for a teenage boy that is.
"Yeah, it's cool. Oooh, I love that quote. 'Don't wait. The time will never be just right'-Napoleon Hill. Austin, I never knew you were so into this kind of stuff. All these quotes; so inspirational and intelligent, never knew you had it in you!" I teased. After I said the quote, there was something that changed in Austin's eyes. I can't exactly place it, but they...darkened. I was really confused by the way he was acting suddenly. He just looked at me and licked his lips, before finally speaking up.
"Ally about that quote, I think now is a better time than any. I just have to say that...I...I'm in-" Austin was cut off by a voice that was yelling down stairs.
"Austin! Wake up your friend! Breakfast is ready!" The female voice said.
"Okay mom! We'll be down in a second!" He yelled back. "Ally, wake up" He teased, pushing my arm playfully. I chuckled and shook my head at the blonde in front of me. I looked down and noticed I was still wearing my clothes from yesterday. I straightened my dress out and asked Austin for a hair brush. After brushing all my knots out, I came out of Austin's bathroom to find him sitting on his bed, waiting for me.
"Thank you for letting me have your bed last night" I say. He smiles before replying, "You're very welcome". Then we head down stairs. Whenever we reach his kitchen, I'm greeted by the smell of pancakes and bacon; a wonderful combination.
"Good morning Austin, nice to actually meet you Ally" Austin's mom said.
"Good morning, it's nice to meet you too. And if you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by actually meet me?" I ask, a little confused. Then it comes back to me.
"Oh I mean it's nice to meet you while you're awake. Whenever Austin carried you in last night you were asleep, which I'm assuming that's the reason he was carrying you in the first place. Anyway, you seem like a lovely girl and you're very beautiful. Austin's lucky to have you as a friend" She says, winking at Austin not-so-secretively, causing both of us to blush.
"I am" Austin says, turning his attention to me. I blush again and smile widely, before turning back over to his mom.
"Thank you Mrs. Moon for letting me stay over and for breakfast. It was really sweet of you" I say genuinely. She smiles brightly at me.
"Of course dear, and please, call me Mimi" Mimi says.
I smile. "Thank you, Mimi"
"So Ally dear, what'd ya say you join Austin and I shopping today? Austin's going to be a groomsmen in his cousin's wedding in two weeks and we need to buy him a tux" Mimi asked me. I smiled brightly this time. It was nice to be invited to something, even if it was something as simple as fix shopping.
"Ally, it's fine, you don't have to-" I cut Austin off quickly.
"I'd love to go, Mimi" I say, causing both Austin and Mimi to smile.
"That's wonderful dear! We'll be leaving in around an hour if you want to go home and get ready" Mimi tells me.
"Okay, thanks for the invite" I say as I head towards the door.
"Ally wait!" Austin says, running over to me.
"Hmm?" I question.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" He asks me.
"Um, no, I don't think so" I reply.
"What about your ride?" He asks. My eyes widen whenever I realize I have no way home other than walking (which I really don't want to do).
"Don't worry, I'll take you. Now come on" Austin says quickly before grabbing my hand and leading me towards his truck.
I had a feeling this was going to be a good day
