Our eyes lock, and when his mother releases me from her grip, I freeze where I am, looking at him, it's almost like he freezes too. His family sees our reactions and his father clears his throat uncomfortably, "We will give you two a moment." He says, eyeing the doctors. They nod and they all walk out of the room, but I'm still frozen. I don't know why really. I've been waiting for this moment but now I feel like I just won an award and forgot my speech I wrote down.

I feel like I may have turned into a statue, and that I may never breathe again, until his lips go up in that famous Austin Moon smile, and I become alive again. I smile back almost instantly and run over to his bed. I stop right next to it, hesitant; but he opens his arms up wide and I crawl across the bed into his arms and he hugs me tightly; his arms around my neck, and my head against his chest.

I start to cry, because I just couldn't help it. The way his chest is moving slightly makes me think he's choking back his own tears too, but I don't move to look. I have never felt more home than I do right now, right in his warm embrace. We stay like this for minutes, and I find myself paranoid of his parents coming in and seeing us, and question what's going on, but maybe they already know.

Eventually, Austin pulls me away from him so he can look at my face. I stay seated on his lap. I look at him as if I may be crushing him but he shakes his head, "I'm fine." He says.

I just nod, still not able to produce words, but I can't figure out why exactly. He stares at me for a few moments, and brushes a loose piece of hair behind my ear. He looks at my arm and stares at my cast, and then lifts up his also red one, "Great minds think alike." He says with a smile.

I smile back at him, watching his skin go back to a normal pale, instead of the ghostly white he was yesterday. His hair is long and messy, but he couldn't be any more adorable. He notices me looking him over and raises an eyebrow, "Why haven't you talked?" He asks, and then his face turns to worry, "You didn't go silent on us again did you?"

I shake my head, "No, sorry. I just," – I stop and shrug, "I planned the words I'd say to you when you woke up, and now that you have and we're here, I'm speechless." I say.

"Then don't say anything." He says.

I'm about to question what he means, but before I can react, he leans in and kisses me. It's not a soft peck on the lips, and it's not a rough, heated kiss. It's one of those, where the hell have you been my whole life, romance movie kisses, and it completely takes my breath away.

When he pulls away we share a smile and he starts playing with a button on my sleeve. But my face suddenly turns serious, and I almost regret asking, but I can't help myself, "Austin… How did you survive that fall?" I ask.

"I don't even know. I guess I just got really lucky." He says, "I was knocked out instantly, I hardly remember anything about it."

"Well, at least you remember me." I say and smile.

"I could never forget you." He says with a smile, and kisses me softly on the lips for just a few seconds.

His face changes fast and he says, "I just can't shake off this feeling that Thomas helped me survive the fall. I don't know how or why he would, but I just can't get rid of that feeling." He says and shivers slightly.

I raise an eyebrow, "That is weird."

He just shrugs in response and silence between us occurs. His parents walk in then, and I jump off of him, sitting on the bed next to him, I bet I didn't look guilty or anything…

"I know you kids are over happy about your reunion but Austin still needs his rest." His mother says nicely.

"Mom, I've been resting for days…" Austin says.

"I know but you still need time to heal." Austin's father says.

I stand up and look at Austin with a pained expression, but turn to his parents and smile, "I understand Mr. and Mrs. Moon, I'll be going now."

"No." Austin says.

They give him a dirty look at I turn to him. I can tell by his face that he doesn't want me to leave, but I don't want his parents to hate me already, "I know. I'll be back." I say. He nods and I walk out of the room, walking slowly by the window, he watches me leave.

I don't blame his parents, I know they are worried about him and they don't want him to get worse. I walk over to the cafeteria and grab a drink and sit down. I sigh and stare at my jug of orange juice and wait patiently. But I really don't know what I'm waiting for. Will they let me come back and visit him soon, or do I have to wait until tomorrow?

I watch the boy who I thought was his brother walk in and grab something to eat. He notices me and walks over, sitting down across from me. I don't say anything, I just watch him.

"So you're Ally." He says.

"Uh… Yeah…" I say.

"Austin said your name right when he woke up. I mean right when he woke up. We were all gathered around him, ecstatic he was awake, and all he can say is, "Ally, where's Ally?" He says.

I don't know what to say, but I can't help the smile that appears on my face. The boy smiles back and he has the same smile as Austin's. Man, this family really likes to share their looks, "You must be very special to him."

"You must be Aaron." I say.

He raises an eyebrow, "You've heard of me? I'm surprised Austin would say anything about me." He says and laughs. I laugh too. Austin didn't particularly say anything nice about him but he doesn't need to know that.

"Don't take anything my parents do or say personally by the way. They are just really protective over us kids." He says.

"Yeah, they kind of made me leave a few minutes ago…" I say.

"Yeah, they just want to make sure Austin's okay. From the sounds of it, he's definitely lucky to be alive." He says.

"He is." I say and nod. He has the same blonde hair, but it's extremely short. He also has blue eyes, something he didn't get from the other Moons.

"Austin's a good kid, I'm glad he's okay." He says.

"He really is. He saved me in many ways during this whole thing." I say.

He nods and stands up, "Well, I'm going to go in there and make sure our parents aren't bothering him too much, and I'll get you in for another visit soon." He says and winks.

"Thanks." I say with a smile and watch him walk away.

I go back to the hotel and hang out with my parents for a while. They figured I had gone to the hospital like I assumed so they weren't mad when I returned.

"Austin's awake!" I say happily.

"Really, that's great news!" My mom says happily.

"Great!" My father cheers.

"I know." I say and sit down.

"Why are you home so soon then?" My mother asks.

"His parents didn't really want me to stick around too long, they want him to rest." I say.

"Understandable." My father says. I just shrug in response.

I wait a while, and after we eat some gross room service food, I head over to the hospital. I hope that Aaron said something to them, because I'm kind of afraid to go back in there. I walk down the hallway and start walking slowly when I get near his room. I peak in the window and no one's in there with him. He's sitting up, staring at a tray of food.

I walk in and when he sees me his face lights up, "Hi." He says.

I go over to him and sit next to him on the bed. I look at his tray of food and then to him, "That food tastes great after not eating normal food in months." I say.

"I was too upset to eat because I missed you." He says.

I smile, "Well, I'm here now, so eat up." I say.

"Yes ma'am." He says and I giggle.

I watch him eat his food and we talk about random things, like my parents and his brother. He said he was surprised at how Aaron acted towards me. Apparently he never approves of girls that like him, but I'm apparently special.

"I saw Stacy's parents today." I blurt out, not really sure why I said anything.

His eyes drop to his hands, "How did that go?" He asks.

"Not very good, it was hard to see. But I gave them Stacy's journal I had found a while ago, and I think they really appreciated it." I say.

He looks at me, "That was nice of you to keep and do." He says, taking his hand and touching my cheek.

I just shrug, "I thought it was the least I could do." I say.

He nods in agreement and pulls me into a kiss. I smile against his lips, and he does the same, "Ally, I love you." He says. His words bring me back to when he sang to me and told me he thought he might be in love with me, but this time there was no 'I think'.

"I love you too Austin." I say.
