A/N: I FEEL HORRIBLE. I HAVENT UPDATED IN FOREVER. I HAVENT HAD TIME. IM SO SORRY MY LOVELY READERS. I DID A STUPID ONE-SHOT INSTEAD OF THIS AND I REGRET IT. But you can check it out if you want… hehe. Partly the reason I haven't updated was because I was on a trip for 4 DAYS. Totally sucks.
Another thing I have to say is thanks to the guest that gave me some suggestions to improve! Just remember that this IS an AU story! I do kind of agree with the Dez and Ally part though. You guys seriously make my day when you review, it makes me feel loved! HOLY FRIZZLES I HAVE 60 REVIEWS! I'M FREAKING OUT! Thanks so much guys! Okay enough of this stuff.
I DO NOT OWN AUSTIN AND ALLY! P.s: Who has heard of the R5 world tour? Hopefully they come to Los Angeles! (Anaheim would be even better but it's smaller than L.A so R5 would probably not come here…) I'M SO EXCITED.
Okay I shall begin…

She didn't know why she was there at that moment. Her mind was kind of foggy and the midst was blurring her vision so that she could only see the winding path of the trees in her way. They were tall and dark and stood tall like the guardians they were. In truth she was scared. She had absolutely no idea on how she ended up there. It was cold and small specks of the dew clung to her milky white skin causing her to let out small shivers.
A shadow bounced off the thick trees causing her eyes to shoot up. The figure was tall and it seemed to have some tall bony ears. It was a deer.
She remembered the blood and how he cried. How much pain he showed when it lay there. Helpless. She was sick and tired of deer's crossing her path. A blade made its way into her hand as if by magic. A sick twisted kind of evil magic.
It had made him cry. It had made her scared to see him so vulnerable. She watched the deer carefully, watching it's every move. The blade was stinging and burning into her hand and small tears were threating to come out, she didn't know why.
The deer ran and so did she.
She remembered the deer falling down. She could have sworn it tripped.
The blade in her hands was dripping in blood and it oozed down onto her thin sweatshirt. She looked down at the deer and saw the mark. It was a stab mark. A shrill scream made its way into her sensitive ears and she dropped the blade. It landed with a soft thud on the forest floor. Her head yanked around to the direction of the blood curling scream.
It was him. His eyes were on the dead deer.
"How could you?..."
"Huh?"
He crawled by the deer and laid down next to the limp figure.
"I-It's dead…"
"I don't know why or how! I swear!"
His eyes were unforgiving. They were red and dark and had a black ring of circles around them.
"I-I thought you were a friend…"
"I AM!"
"Then why is it dead?"
"I told you I don't know!"
"Kill me too."
She doesn't remember picking up the blade back up. All she knows what that she laid there. Eyes closed. Body still. Cold.
A pool of blood surrounded them both and he was weeping over her and holding her close to his chest muttering something.
"I-I don't care about the deer anymore. I just want you back…"
"Well I'm gone now."
"I loved you. I told myself I would never lose you like this. Not again."
"…"
"Please don't leave me again."
"I can't promise, but I'll try."
"I'll meet you up there."

He awoke to his annoying alarm clock. His made a fist with his long fingers and smashed the damn clock until it was completely silent in the room. He didn't like the silence in the room so he forced himself up.
Austin was in no mood for going to school, not after the little incident with Ally the day before. He just couldn't face her at the moment; he would probably start bawling right in front of her. He wasn't supposed to cry in front of her. Weakness just wasn't a thing to be proud of.
What bothered him was he wasn't able to tell her what he felt because he couldn't even put his emotions into words. How could you explain that inside that deer was a spirit that protected the Lost Forest? How could you explain that if ANYTHING happened to that deer the spirit would be lost and the 'Lost Forest' would be just another place surrounded by some stupid trees? Like she would believe him.
He pounded his fist into the punching bag that lay in his garage and all the rage that was inside bubbled up and was let lose. His fists flew and he screamed with all his might until he had nothing left to release. He collapsed on the spot. His breath came out in ragged, uneven puffs and his muscles twitched in exhaustion. His hands had dark red cuts along the knuckles but he felt no pain.
In truth, he really didn't fell anything for that matter.
His hands were raw and bloody and throat hurt from all his screaming but at least he let it all out. He had nothing left in his body to give out.
.
He didn't know how he ended up in front of the pet store but there he was. There was a display of dogs in the front window that were clawing and trying to get his attention. They whimpered causing a part of his heart to melt in sympathy. He wanted to adopt all of them. He wanted them all with a home and a family that loved them. One single question popped into his mind. What happened to the dogs if they weren't adopted?
"Um, hello?"
"Can I help you?"
"Yeah, I have a question."
"Go ahead."
"What happens to the dogs in the display if they aren't adopted?"
"Well…"
"Well what?"
"They get put down."
"You kill them?"
The clerk nodded.
"Thanks."
To say he was mad was an understatement. These dogs were innocent creatures and they had done absolutely nothing wrong! Why should they die? Goddamn, he was sick and tired of that word. Why did things just have to die? No one deserves that. Not even the most twisted criminal.
He heard a whimpering noise coming from a small crate in the back of the store and he walked toward the noise. Glancing behind his back to make sure no one was looking, he took the crowbar besides the wooded box and pried the box open.
He saw the biggest eyes staring up at him. They were filled with hope and determination.
"Jesus, why do they have you locked up in here, huh boy?"
The small puffball whimpered and he was sure the dog meant to say,
"Because you humans are sick and twisted in your minds that you keep God's creation in a box with no food or water."
His sore hands made their way to the dog's soft white fur and he pulled the little thing up to his chest. The dog whimpered and cuddled into him and he was filled with a warmth that only one other person could make him feel.
"I don't have any money to buy you."
The dog whimpered again.
"But, I've never done things the legal way have I now?"
That's how he ended up walking home with a small little puffball curled up in his leather jacket.
.
Ally visited Austin afterschool. She was a little pissed that he didn't show up at school today… again.
Her pale knuckles knocked on the glossy wooden door three times. She made sure they were loud.
He opened the door…shirtless. A small blush crept its way to her cheeks and she tried to keep her eyes on his face and not on his ever so blessed abs. He obviously noticed this and a small smirk made its way onto his lips.
"Gee, sorry. I shouldn't have answered the door half-naked." He didn't sound the least bit sorry which only pissed her off even more.
"Will you just put on a shirt? And let me in?"
"No and yes."
He made his way onto the side and let her walk in. He could tell she was very uncomfortable but he kind of liked her with the blush on her face. She couldn't help looking at him. He really was sexy. Dear God, if only she hadn't made friends with such an attractive guy.
That's when she saw his hands. There were cuts along his strong knuckles and the rest of his hand looked jacked up.
"What's wrong with your hand?"
"I just kind of had to let off some steam."
"That must've hurt."
"Meh, it's all good."
She heard a bark. Followed by another. And another. And then came some whimpers. She looked at Austin with a confused expression on her face. That boy did not…
"You got a dog!"
"Whaaaaaaaaaat?..."
"Jesus Christ!"
"Pff, I SO DID NOT STEAL a dog…"
"YOU STOLE A DOG?"
"I said no."
"Oh my gosh! Anything else?"
"No."
A giant puffball jumped up and clung onto her legs causing her to let out a tiny scream.
"Puppy! GET DOWN!"
Really he didn't even have a name for the dog?
"You don't have a name for it?"
He shook his head.
"King Puffball."
"What?"
"That's the puppy's name."
"You have got to be kidding me."
"Don't you dare insult the King's name."
They ended up on the floor in a fit of giggles. King Puffball was alongside them wagging his tail, happy to be out of his cage.
She has no idea how she ended up pressed up against Austin, but she was. His chest was pressed up against her own and both their breathing was ragged and uneven. His whiskey coulored eyes bored into her chocolate brown ones and his gaze fell upon her plump lips. What a tease.
"King Puffball is coming with us next time."
"Where are we going?"
"The Lost Forest."
"Oh."
That's how their lips ended up meeting.
A/N: Heh. I'm sorry. I'M SORRY IF THIS SUCKED BUTT. THE KISS WILL BE IN THE NEXT CHAPTER. PAY ATTENTION TO THAT FIRST PART. IT'S HELLA IMPORTANT. PEACE OUT.
