Hey guys! I'm so sorry that I haven't updated my stories in a while. My laptop broke - well, the keys stopped working, and I need the keys to type, so yeah - and it took a week to get fixed! I feel really bad for making you wait so long for new chapters for my stories, but I'm going to try and update as many of them as I can regularly. Thank you for being so patient! You're all Rossome, haha!:-)

1DR5: Yay! You finally got an account! Haha:-) Your review made me smile and I'm sorry if I made you think that I'd given up on my stories! As I said before, my laptop broke... Anyway, thank you for your review!:-)

LoveAndLaughter: Cory Monteith was one of my role models and Finn was my favourite boy character on Glee, too... I was so shocked and sad when I found out... I just hope that Lea and the rest of the cast and crew are okay... It must be heartbreaking for them. Anyway, thank you for your review and I hope you're okay now:-)

Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally

Today Trish, my mum and I are going shopping for some new clothes, because in a few months time, I won't be able to fit in most if not all of my clothes. Since I'm quite small and skinny, I'm hoping that I won't become too big, but you never know, and it's always good to be prepared.

I slip on a pair of flip flops, before opening the front door. "Bye dad, bye Austin!" I quickly shout, before I walk out of the house and close the door behind me.

I walk towards the car and get into the front passenger seat, before closing the door and buckling my seat belt.

"You ready?" my mum asks me.

"If I wasn't ready, I wouldn't be in the car, would I?" I snap. I sigh, "Sorry..." I'm a little moody this morning, since I barely got any sleep last night. Well, that and my hormones.

"Hormones?" my mum questions, as we drive down the road.

"Yeah. And I'm pretty tired," I reply.

"Well, hopefully you will feel less tired when we start shopping," she says.

"I think shopping will just make me feel more tired to be honest."

"I guess you're right."

The rest of the ride is silent, until we get to Trish's house.

"Does Trish know that we're here?" my mum questions.

"Probably. I mean, I did tell her what time we would be here," I answer.

Before my mum can reply, Trish opens her front door and walks out of her house, yelling a quick goodbye to her parents, before she closes the door and runs up to the car. She opens the door and gets into the back, closing the door behind her and buckling her seat belt.

"Hey," she says, smiling.

"Hello, Trish," my mum replies.

"Hey..." I mumble.

"What's wrong? Is it your hormones?" Trish asks me.

"Yeah, and the fact that I'm really tired," I tell her.

"Why?" she questions.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe because I got barely any sleep last night," I reply, before rolling my eyes.

"Woah, okay then. You don't have to start getting moody with me," she says.

"Sorry, Trish..."

"It's okay. Why didn't you get much sleep last night?"

"Urm, well, I guess I just wasn't very tired..." I reply. I've never been very good at lying.

Yes, I lied. The real reason why I couldn't sleep last night is that I couldn't stop thinking about what I had to talk to Dallas about. It's not really a huge thing to worry about, but I just want to talk to him about it, because he's one of my closest friends. I wanted to talk to him last night, but he had to go home before we had a chance to be alone.

The rest of the ride was silent, until we arrived at our destination.

My mum parked the car, before we all got out and walked into the mall.

"What shop do you want to go in first?" Trish questions.

"I don't mind," I answer.

"Let's just look around first and then you can decide which shops you'd like to go in," my mum says.

"Okay," I reply.

After about 6 hours of shopping for new clothes, my mum and I finally arrive at home, after dropping Trish off at her house.

"That was fun," my mum says, smiling, as we walk into the house.

"Yeah, it was," I reply, smiling as well. I close the front door behind me, and turn around to see Austin and Dallas sitting on the sofa, staring at me.

I look at them, confused, "What?"

"What's this big secret, Ally?" Austin questions, standing up.

I stay silent. The only sound that can be heard is the quiet murmur of people talking on TV.

"W-what are you talking about?" I ask him, trying to act like I don't know what he's going on about. But, as I said earlier, I'm not very good at lying.

"You know what I'm talking about," he yells.

"There's no need to get so angry, Austin," my mum says, calmly.

"Yes, there is! Ally has some secret that she can't tell me but she wants to tell Dallas!" he exclaims.

"Why did you tell him?" I ask Dallas.

"Because I'm worried about you, Ally. You seemed pretty upset the other week when you wanted to talk to me about something, and I thought that maybe it's better if you talk to Austin about it," he replies.

"If I wanted to talk to Austin about it, I would've. But I didn't. I wanted to talk to you about it!" I state, loudly.

"Why don't you want to talk to me about it?" Austin questions.

I sigh, "Because... Well, Dallas and I have been close friends for years! I just wanted to talk to one of my best friends about something, but no, I couldn't even do that! You always have to get involved!"

"Don't blame Austin for this, Ally! You're the one keeping a secret from him!" Dallas says.

"It's not even that big of a secret," I tell them.

"Then why can't you just tell me?" Austin asks me. He walks towards me and gently takes hold of my hands, "Please?"

I look at him, before looking at Dallas. I look at Austin again, before sighing, "Okay..."

Okay, so what do you think? Was this chapter worth the wait? Review!:-D

Stay Rossome!
