I don't own Austin and Ally

As she entered the classroom she noticed someone missing. Trish was beside her, urging her to go inside. But something wasn't right. The air felt thicker and the room felt tense. She didn't know what had caused this sudden change in the room. All she knew was that she didn't like it.

She hastily took a seat and brushed of the feeling. Her eyes skimmed the bright room and came across an empty seat. Who was missing? She played the elimination game in her already clouded mind and quickly found the answer. There were usually four blondes in the room, and now there was only three. It didn't take a genius to figure out which of the four was missing.

Austin Moon was not in the room. That was a shame considering how much Ally wanted to talk to him about yesterday's events. She slumped into her chair and sighed, damn that boy was so unpredictable. But she had to remind herself that was partly the reason she wanted to be friend with him. She wondered why he wasn't in school.

She focused on her academics that day. Only her academics. You can imagine how boring it was for her. She had nothing new to look forward to that day.

During lunch she sat with Trish and Cassidy at their table. Well, it wasn't necessarily their table, but you know, that's how high school works. Oh, there were other girls. They were nice enough to her but they didn't bother to make friends with her. She was okay with that. Maybe.

Trish and Cassidy seemed to be discussing a very important topic because they paid no attention to Ally. She was fine with that too. But she wanted to talk to someone. She wanted to talk to someone who would listen to what she had to say. Her heart was aching for something. It was pleading her to go back. To go back to yesterday, the day when everything seemed to be so soothing and relaxing. The day when they had become friends. She wanted to relive that day. She wanted to go back to the Lost Forest.

But she told herself to be patient. Because you can't rush friendship.

"EARTH TO ALLY, EARTH TO ALLY, ARE YOU THERE?"

She snapped up and turned her head in the direction of the voice. Trish had an annoyed expression visible on her face and she had her arms crossed around her chest. She looked pissed.

"Uh, yeah I'm here."

"My fucking god! I've just called you a million times and there you were in that little la-la land of yours!"

"Go easy on her Trish," Cassidy sided with Ally.

"UGH!"

"I-I'm sorry!"

"Meh, don't pay attention to her. She has issues." Cassidy whispered the last part into Ally's ear.

"I HEARD THAT, YOU'RE GONNA BE THE ONE WITH ISSUES IF YOU DON'T SHIT THAT PRETTY LITTLE MOUTH OF YOURS!"

Cassidy made a face and tugged on Ally's arm.

"Let's let her cool down."

"Okay."

Cassidy dragged Ally to the small field of grass besides the school, it wasn't nearly as beautiful as the place Austin had took her to but it was a calm place. That was honestly enough for Ally, she wasn't sure how much more of Trish's screaming she could take. What bothered her was the fact that she herself hadn't discovered the small place, but instead she was being shown it. She was the one who usually found this type of relaxing places back in New York. She had to remind herself Cassidy had been here longer and probably knew a lot more than her.

They gently laid their lunched down in front of them and finished eating in a calm, comfortable silence. Ally's mind was still trying to figure out why Austin Moon was not at school. She was dying to go back to his sacred place.

Cassidy broke her train of thought.

"What were you thinking back in the cafeteria?"

"Huh? Oh, uh, just some stuff…" She was terrible at hiding things.

"You can tell me you know? I might look like that bitch who spreads things around but I'm FAR from that Ally. I hope you haven't jumped to conclusions."

"I didn't think you were. I just was thinking about why Austin Moon was not in school today."

"Good question. I dunno know? I guess he has the whole "bad-boy" thing to hold on to huh?"

"Yeah, I guess."

It had never occurred to her that Cassidy's theory might be right. He had already established the whole bad-boy thing, so he did have to keep at it. Or maybe he was sick. Yes, that could be a possibility couldn't it?

.

It was afterschool and he was waiting. He was desperate to bring her back to his beloved place. There was SO much more to show her, he wasn't sure he would be able to hold it any longer.

She came 5 minutes later. It may as well have been 5 fucking centuries! His eyes immediately lit up at the girl.

"Where were you today?" She seemed to be mad.

He chuckled softly, Ally Dawson sounded like his mother. But that was a good sign because that mean she was looking for him and she cared. That was a good stage to be on right now.

"My tummy had a tummy ache," he said with a mocking childish voice.

"I'm being serious! I was worried about you!"

"Ah, so you were."

"Yeah, is that bad?"

"No, quite the opposite actually."

"Then?"

"I just like knowing where I stand with you."

"Okay."

He didn't let that small blush go unnoticed. She was even cuter with her cheeks the color of roses. Damn that girl.

He led her to his car and opened the side door for her. Yeah, he was being a gentleman. Just for her. She was special, he couldn't risk anything.

Ally on the other hand was very surprised at his actions. Maybe she had jumped to conclusions to fast. She had a habit of doing that.

They rode with the radio cranked up and the both of them singing their lungs out. Ally enjoyed this, she felt free. She felt like she could just… let everything that was bottled down, up. They were currently jamming out to P!nk's "So What" and all you could hear was their voices mixing together shouting,

SO WHAT?
I'M STILL A ROCKSTAR
I'VE GOT MY ROCK MOVES
AND I DON'T NEED YOU TONIGHT!

And DAMN, they were loud. Cars that were passing them by shook their heads at how inconsiderate they were being.

The traffic started to disappear and trees took the places of the cars. It was nature that surrounded them, not some vehicle that polluted the Earth. There was a slight breeze so Austin rolled down their windows and they both felt the heavenly breeze that brushed against their hot skin. It was as if the breeze was meant for them.

.

Maybe they were too caught up in the moment. Or maybe he was just too distracted by her beauty or maybe the radio was too loud. Maybe it was all of the above. There is no way of knowing as to why the deer had to jump in the middle of the road. It just sort of happened with no warning.

All they knew was that they heard the brakes screeching and the heard the low moan of the animal under them. And they knew that it was dead. Blood was splattered all over the window and she was in hysterics, and to be honest, he was too. They had run over an innocent deer.

Where had the deer even come from? Why hadn't he noticed it? Why did it just have to die like that? Did it have a family? Would the family be mad? Was his car damaged? Would the blood come off? How much blood was there in a deer? What were they going to do with the dead animal? Was this considered a sin? Why couldn't he have just been paying fucking attention to the road instead of the beautiful girl next to him?

Why were there so many damn questions?

"A-A-Austin…"

"W-What?"

"I-Is it dead?"

"Dead is a strong word."

"Oh my gosh… IT'S DEAD!"

"I-I wasn't paying fucking attention! I killed an innocent deer! I'M SO SORRY!" He was sobbing in spite of himself.

"There sure is a lot of blood in an animal…"

"NOT HELPING."

"Sorry…"

"I-I-I need to see it."

"See what? The deer?"

"Yeah, I need to see if it…"

"It's dead."

"I-I know but…"

He allowed himself to get out of the car. It was a bloody mess. He brushed his hand against the hood and cringed when he brought it back up and it was full of blood. An innocent creatures blood…

He leaned down and saw the gruesome mess. Yep, the deer was dead. But that's why he came out of the car. He gently touched its ear. It had a small little cut on it. That was the one. He had killed his only memory of his friend. He had killed the spirit of the Lost Forest.

"FUCK THIS WORLD!" he cried out backing up from the creature.

Ally was now aware of Austin's sudden change. She brought herself up and she got of the car.

"Austin what's wrong?"

He pointed to the bloody mess.

"I know, it's dead. But sometimes things just happen."

"I killed it Ally…"

"I know, don't blame yourself."

"This was the one…"

"Austin, relax."

"NO. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!"

"Okay then, help me understand."

"I-I cant, not right now…"

"What are we going to do with the deer?"

"Bury it."

This was strange but she didn't dare go against it.

"Okay."

.

They did bury it. Deep in the forest a deer lies there, resting. Ally drifted back to the car. Austin stayed there, he was saying sorry. He was apologizing to his dear friend for letting the deer die under his orders to keep it safe.

.

They didn't end up going to the Lost Forest that night. Instead he took her out to eat in order to try to forget the previous events. Well, to get HER to forget. He knew he wouldn't. It would haunt him forever.

.

"Austin,"

"Yeah?"

"Make me understand."

"Huh?"

"I want to know what happened to that deer. Why was it so special?"

"I'll tell some other day okay? Not now."

"Okay."

"Thanks Ally."

.

A/N: OMG. WHAT DID I DO?
