Hi guys! Here's a new chapter! Yay!:-D Haha. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally
I sigh, taking Austin's hand and leading him to the kitchen, closing the door behind me. I take a deep breath. "Have you ever read a book or-" he cuts me off.
"Ally, you should know me well enough by now to know that I don't read books," he says, with a raised eyebrow and a small lopsided grin on his face.
"Okay, well, let me try this again. You know when you watch a movie and you get into the movie, so much so that you feel like you're in the characters world almost, and that when the movie ends, you feel almost... saddened by the fact that it's over and that it has ruined your life in the most delightful of ways because of all the emotions it has made you feel, and you regret watching it, because of all of the emotions you felt during the movie and shortly after, but at the same time, you don't, because if you hadn't, then you wouldn't have experienced the movie and you'd feel like you were missing out on something?"
Austin looks at me with confusion, furrowing his eyebrows slightly. "What?"
I sigh, exasperated. "Maybe I'm just not wording this right..." I muttered, mostly to myself. "Austin, have you ever experienced something so good that brought you so many emotions - good and bad - that, in a way, you feel like you'd never be the same again?"
"What does that have to do with a movie?" he questions, bemused.
I run a hand through my hair, tiredly. "You're not getting the point."
"Then maybe you should just get to the point instead of complicating things," he says.
"I just... I feel like once this is over - the summer, I mean - that nothing will be the same. Nothing's going to be the same once the baby is born, anyway. But once you go to MUNY, it's going to be different, and all the memories we have, this experience I've had being with you, they upset me. You've made my life a roller coaster ever since we met in that bookstore, and although we've had our good times, we've had sad times. And watching you leave was bad the first time, I don't want to feel that way again. I just... I don't want to suffer the sadness of you leaving again when you go to New York... " I tell him. "But then again, all of these emotions could just be because of my hormones..." I add.
"Ally... why didn't you just say instead of rambling on about movies and stuff?" he asks me, softly.
I giggle. "I don't know. I guess my little speech wasn't very necessary. I thought it would be, but looking back, it was pretty pointless."
Austin smiles down at me. "Is that what you wanted to say, that you're worried about being upset about me going back to New York soon?"
"Partly."
"What's the other part?" he questions.
"I... I got accepted into this small music school at the other side of Miami..." I tell him.
"What? That's amazing! Why would you be worried about telling me that?" he asks me.
"Because... We'll both be in different music schools, in different states, and what about the baby?" I question.
"We'll figure something out," Austin replies.
I sigh. "But..." I trail off.
"'But' what?"
"The people who run the school were so impressed with my application that they want me to start at the beginning of the semester after summer, so I'll be starting a year earlier than I originally thought... I'll be away from my family and friends, and away from you..." I say.
Austin stays quiet for a second, before he clears his throat. "Well, um, that's great. I mean, what school wouldn't want you?"
"Austin..."
"No, Ally, it's fine. You deserve this."
I look up at him, with a small smile on my face. "This is a really good opportunity for me, Austin. They have a special programme where people my age can carry on their education and graduate, before moving onto higher levels of education - whether that be at their school or at another music school."
"Sounds good."
We stay silent for a few minutes.
"Was that your secret?" he questions.
"Yeah..." I say, almost in a whisper. "But there is something that I wanted to talk to you about..."
"What is it?" he asks me.
"Um, well, I'm not saying that this is what I want, because it's not. I've been thinking a lot about this and it wasn't an easy decision to consider... I didn't want to decide anything without talking to you first... Austin... I..." I take a deep breath, suddenly more nervous than I was before. "I've been considering putting the baby up for adoption once it's born..."
"What?!" he exclaims.
"As I said, it's not what I want, but we're both going to be away from eachother for a while, and lets face it, we're not ready to have a baby, but there are couples out there who are. I never wanted it to come to this, but once the baby is born, what will we do?" I ask him, tears threatening to fall down my face.
"I don't know! But there's got to be another solution than this! We can't just give our baby away, Ally," he replies.
"But what can we offer him or her, really? I mean, we're teenagers who are about to go off to different music schools to live their dreams, and our lives are about to change. This could be an amazing opportunity for both of us-" Austin cuts me off.
"It sounds like you're being pretty selfish."
"I'm not being selfish, I'm thinking about what's best for not just me, but for you and the baby!" I say.
"Whatever..." Austin mumbles.
After a few seconds of awkward silence, I decide to speak up, "Imagine how happy we could make a couple by giving them our baby. I'm sure they'd let us visit as often as possible, and we can focus on our studies."
"Can't we just ask either your parents or my parents to take care of the baby while we're away?" he questions.
"I thought about that, but both your parents and my parents have busy lives and I'm sure they won't want to look after a baby full time. I mean, a baby needs a lot of care and attention," I say.
"We haven't even asked them! I'm sure they won't mind, since it is their grandchild."
"Yes, but-" Once again, Austin cut me off.
"Ally! Stop trying to make excuses! It kind of makes me think that you want to put our baby up for adoption!" he shouts.
I gasp, shocked by his words. "No, Austin, why would you even think that?"
"Well, you seem to be pretty set on the whole adoption idea," he says.
"Only because I feel like it will be the best option for our baby!" I exclaim. "You know what? I'm going to lie down and let you calm down a bit," I mutter, before I walk out of the kitchen, slamming the door on my way out.
So, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! The beginning part with the whole movie thing was... kind of confusing, I guess. But I hope you understood what I was trying to say. If you did, please tell me, and if you didn't, also let me know and I'll try and explain it a bit more. It was kind of like a way of describing Ally's feelings towards their whole relationship, both the friendly side and the romantic side. But anyway, review!:-)
Stay Rossome!
