Last time on I Hate That I Love You…

You again?!

Austin's POV

I was in the middle of fantasizing about the fact that Ally and I were just intimate with each other when there was a knock on the door. Ally had called out to me from the shower, asked me to go see who is at the door. So, I glanced out the window, looked at the very familiar pick up truck. Once I realized who it was. I decided to walk downstairs in my boxers and completely shirtless. You better believe I took my sweet ass time sauntering on down those stairs.

I open the door,

"You again?!" I look at him and scoff.

"Austin? What are you doing here?" He looks confused and annoyed at the same time.

Austin - 1 - Gavin - 0

"What does it look like I'm doing here?" I smirk, give him a second to register that I'm in just my boxers and obviously toned and built.

"You're in your boxers practically naked." Gavin gritted his teeth against each other.

"And what's your point?" I deadpanned.

" Wait, where's Ally? I came here to see her not you." I could hear the annoyance in his voice.. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

"Well maybe she doesn't want to see you Gavin. You really should just get a clue and back off. Ally is going to be mine. She pretty much already told you that she loves me...so why the hell are you still trying to interfere?"

"Are you serious? BECAUSE I'M FUCKEN IN LOVE WITH HER!" Gavin yells at me his voice booming through Ally's entire house.

Him. In love with her? Yeah, fucken right.

"Oh yeah, and I'm Superman."

"Shut the fuck up Austin. You really think you're in love with her? You didn't even want Ally until I showed interest in her." Gavin deadpanned.

Austin - 1 Gavin - 2

"That's not true and you know it." Even if he is right...which he's not, but I won't give him the satisfaction. Fucken tool, God I can't stand him.

"Really? What about that stunt you pulled with Piper... Yeah, Ally called me right after she got that picture of you and Piper and she was kissing you on your cheek or something..She may have called Trish and Dez to come over, but she called me before they had even got there. So thank you Jackass for letting Ally walk straight into my arms. ."

I just stare at Gavin totally blindsided, just there are no words to describe how I feel at this very moment. Why didn't she tell me? As if dickhead was reading my thoughts on cue,

"Oh, Ally didn't tell you that she called me because she was so upset over something stupid...once again that you had done. You supposedly love her soooooo much, but yet here you are and you keep fucking up and I haven't hurt her once. Unlike you Austin...I actually really love her."

I really want to knock him the fuck out right now.

Don't be the bigger man. Show Gavin you are better for Ally than he is. You mad bro? This is all of your fucken fault. All of it. All you had to do was confess your feelings to Ally before he told her that he wanted to be with her. This could have all been avoided.

I know. I know.

Alright then, well I don't want to hear you whining like a fucking pussy. Man up, fight for your future wife!

Austin- 1 Gavin- 4

"Take that back you son of a bitch! Actions speak louder than words, I think that I've made it pretty clear that she's the only one I want to be with. You may only be thinking about right now, but I'm thinking future. I'm going to marry her."

Gavin just looks at me in complete shock, "Are you actually serious?"

"Yeah Gavin, you claim to love Ally, but has marrying her ever crossed your mind? I don't care if she ends up choosing you in the interim, because I'm her soul-mate...not you. I've told Ally this, I'll tell you...Auslly is ENDGAME."

Austin - 2 Gavin - 5

...

Ally was standing at the top of the staircase and neither of the guys had noticed her presence just yet.

...

"Ally and I belong together. I just want her to be happy, so if by some off-chance she'd rather settle for you than truly take the risk to be in love and with me...so be it. I'm only going to say this one more time. I love her, it's always and only been her."

Gavin just stands there and tries to process everything that Austin's just said. Is it really worth trying to go up against Austin in the long run? I mean if Gavin hasn't even thought about marrying Ally for even a second, he's probably not truly in love with her. Let me tell you a guy who is truly in love thinks about the future, who they can see themselves with in the future. Austin, well it's clear that his mindset is 200% Ally whereas with Gavin...

"I don't even know how to respond to that. You're the idiot that told her to choose between us, so if she picks me it's because she wants to and that's on you. You have to live with it Austin, not me. I'll be the one happy with an amazing girl, for your information...yes I've thought about a future with Ally. Maybe...not to the extent where you have.. it seems like you have your entire life planned out with her."

Austin - 3 Gavin - 6

"Were you even fucken listening?! I flat out basically told you that I am going to marry Ally. She's going to be my wife."

Wow this guy is thick in the head!

Austin - 5 Gavin - 6

"I think it's time for you to leave."

"No I'm not leaving until I see Ally. "

I clench my fist, "Then I guess I'm going to have to make you."

"Oh is that a threat pretty boy? You ready to go another round?" Gavin starts pushing my buttons.

"Shut the fuck up Gavin! Let me be clear. I know what it's like to have truly lost Ally. You don't. You can't even imagine the kind of shit that I've been through with her. The things we've experienced in life together. I've bungee jumped off a bridge with her, while I was on tour stopped my concert 3 times for her, when I was in a car accident..you know what I was in the middle of typing? I LOVE YOU. You know what else happened, she rushed to see me and we kissed. When I was in the hospital...she wasn't thinking about you. She said that she just wanted to be with me and in the moment with me. Oh, she literally threw Piper into a wall because she saw her kissing me. Do you have ANY IDEA how upset I was that she went with you to see The Notebook?"

"You like the movie?" Gavin interjects sarcastically.

"Oh...like you don't?" I waited for a response and got none from him. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Shut up and just listen... That movie is special to Ally and I. I was hanging out with her, she wanted to watch the movie...as her best friend I agreed to because I just wanted to make her happy. So, there's that scene where Noah and Allie are dancing in the street. I stood Ally up and we started dancing mimicking the lead love interests..I dipped her, I kissed her and it was then that I realized I was in love with her. Ally told me that I could be her Noah."

"What's the point to your babbling Austin?"

Gavin's clearly frustrated. I'm not even sure why he's listening to me. Ugh. He makes it really hard for me to hate him.

" My point is that I don't care if her mind chooses you now...her heart is always going to choose me no matter what. Yes, okay. I've fucked up multiple times, but at least I'm owning up to my mistakes. I'm sorry that Ally got pushed down the stairs by Piper. I'm sorry that she even saw me in a compromising position, but Piper had drugged me. That bitch is legit crazy. My heart stopped when Ally fell down the stairs and I blame myself for that. At the hospital after riding in an ambulance with her, I didn't even correct the staff when they referred to her as my girlfriend.

"What do you mean?" Gavin asks me sounding surprised.

"When Ally woke up in the hospital...she was calling out my name...not yours. She told you to leave and when I was about to go. She told me to stay, asked for my car and sang to her song Unconditionally."

"Which is about?"

Wait why is Gavin listening to me and not yelling?

FOCUS AUSTIN.

"Exactly how it sounds...Love... that she'll love me unconditionally. No matter how moronic the things I do are. She knows that she belongs with me. She knows that deep down that-"

I pause for a second choosing my words carefully. "I'm the one that is really in love with her. I love her. I'm in love with her. You may think that you love her, but you don't. You may be falling in love with her, but you aren't there."

"Who are you to try and tell me how I feel about my Angel?" I can visibly see his face harden in anger.

"First of all...she's not your angel. She's my baby. She doesn't glow around you the way that she does when she's with me or looking at me." I said with venom in my voice feeling the anger pulsing through my veins, I feel myself begin to soften.

No Austin. You have to stay strong and focused. Take advantage that you and Gavin aren't throwing punches and he's listening to you.

Ugh! Fine. I realize that it's not worth arguing with myself.

"Second... you don't look at her the way I do. I've given up things for her like a magazine cover. I've snuck out of the house when I was grounded to help her raise money for and save a music program. I even danced with her at Trish's quincenera when Dallas was too much of a wuss to slow dance with her. I told her that Dallas was an idiot for not seeing how great she is. I made a fool of myself when Elliott came to town; I even drew a hand turkey, tried to basket-weave and challenged Elliott to a duel because I wanted to win Ally's heart. Ally's more important to me than a magazine cover. I bungee jumped with her because she lied, resulting in ending up in a mess, and because she was scared. I hated seeing her scared so when she took my hand, it was like she knew she could trust me and that I would always be there for her. The biggest mistake I've ever made was not choosing her over Kira. I was just scared then. Scared that I was going to jeopardize our friendship and ruin everything. But now. I'm not scared anymore. I LOVE HER! So stop trying to get in between us!"

"Really Austin? How long have you been in love with her?" Gavin looks at me conflicted, like he's trying to stay angry at me, but he just can't.

Man, he's really starting to piss me off again.

Stay calm Austin. Don't let him get the best of you.

"I'm pretty sure since the day I first met her, but actually fell in love with her? After our performance at Jimmy Starr's Halloween Bash, then watching The Notebook shortly after.. I've been in love with her at least knowing, but not admitting it for over a year now. You've only been dating Ally for a few months that how I know that there's no way you could comprehend just how much I am in love with her. You're not in love with her I am."

Austin- 10 Gavin - 6

...

Ally decided that she had heard enough, descended her stairs in a robe.

She clears her throat,

"Eh hem!"

Neither guy heard her the first time she cleared her throat because they were having a silent argument with their eyes locked on each other's. So Ally cleared her throat once more.

"Eh hem!"

Austin and Gavin looked up. Austin's eyes soften, while Gavin's appear to be conflicted. She walks down the stairs, stands in between the two guys knowing if she plants herself in the middle that they are less likely to start fighting.

"Austy. What's going on here?"

"Oh nothing baby. Gavin and I were just having a little chat." She quirks her eyebrow at me suspiciously.

"Gavin? I wasn't expecting you what are you doing here?"

"Well, I knew that you were coming back from the hospital. I was just wondering and hoping if you missed me as much as I missed you. Did you make a decision yet?"

"No Gavin, I haven't." She stumbles, "I haven't made a decision yet."

Austin looks at me with a facial expression that screams WHAT THE FUCK, oh no here we go.

Ally don't do this. BIG MISTAKE. HUGE. NOW HE'S GOING TO FLIP IN 3 SECONDS OR LESS. 3, 2, 1.

"REALLY ALLY?! I JUST MADE LOVE TO YOU LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO. YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU LOVE ME. THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME. WAS THAT ALL A FUCKEN LIE?"

"Austy calm down." She says sweetly.

"CALM DOWN! WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I CALM DOWN. I GAVE MYSELF TO YOU COMPLETELY, IN THE MOST INTIMATE WAY TWO PEOPLE CAN POSSIBLY GET. I THOUGHT THAT MEANT SOMETHING TO YOU. IT FUCKEN MEANT SOMETHING TO ME. NO, SCRATCH THAT IT MEANT EVERYTHING TO ME!"

Austin runs up to Ally's room, starts to get dressed. He can't believe that she just denied having sex with him. He wants to break something, but he can't. He sees Ally's favorite picture of the two of them on the dresser, turns it so it's facing down next to something else. He sits down at her desk real quick to write, then stands as soon as he finishes and walks over to the dresser, tapes something to her mirror. He thinks he hears Ally and Gavin still talking downstairs because he's completely devastated. He's crying again because of Ally. He wishes that they could just get their shit together and work everything out.

I didn't even get to ask her to be my girlfriend..yet

Austin your heart is going to disagree with me, but you're a mess mentally and emotionally right now. We need to get out of here.

Well, I don't want to walk past Gavin and Ally. I don't want her to come after me. I want to be alone right now.

Let's think of another way out then.

"Time out." Gavin interjects, "You had sex with Austin?"

"I'm sorry Gavin. It's just-"

"No, you don't have to say another word. If your heart was with me. You wouldn't have even thought about having sex with him. So tell me right now. Who do you love and want to be with?" The disappointment clearly evident in her voice.

"I-I-I love." Ally was ready to tell Gavin the truth, but she felt that the room was all of the sudden cold. She looks up and sees that Austin's nowhere in sight.

Austin couldn't take anymore of this. He opened Ally's window once he was dressed and jumped onto the tree branch just outside her window.

Yes again.

Ally's POV

Ally was full on crying now. She felt bad for hurting both guys. Really bad. She hated hurting people, especially Austin, yet she keeps doing it constantly. Even she has to admit that this is in fact getting a little fucken ridiculous. She noticed that Gavin and she were alone in the foyer, she didn't know for how long.

"Austy? Are you upstairs?"

Ally runs up the stairs sensing that if he's not answering her then there's a reason for it. She ran like her life depended on it, was up the stairs and reached her room at a very rapid pace. Gavin follows her as well because he wants to know what she's going to say to Austin. They reach Ally's bedroom and find a note on her mirror with Gavin standing next to her with his hand on her shoulder as she read it.

"Ally I love you. I really love you, but I don't know how many times I'm supposed to let you break my heart. I don't know fifteen more times? Does that sound suffice? Will that make us even? You practically denied having sex with me in front of Gavin. That really really hurt me. I gave you my virginity, you gave me yours, hell we even lost it to each other. How could you do this to me? I wanted to sing you the song that I wrote while we were apart and I gave you the time you needed to yourself. I don't have the heart to sing it to you right now. I'm sorry but I just can't. I'm sure Gavin's there, I'm already gone. Here are the sheet lyrics. I was going to play it for you on the guitar, but you can just do it yourself. You needed time to think, I respected that. I need to be alone right now.

- Austin

On the top of the dresser, Austin left the sheet lyrics.

"Gavin. I really need to be alone right now."

Tears are streaming down Ally's face, it took Ally truly breaking Austin's heart to know what her decision was going to be.

" I know that you don't want to hear this right now, but I do love you. Not to the extent Austin has, because he flat out told me that he's going to marry you. I can't compete with him Ally. I can't compete with someone who is obviously your soul-mate. I deserve better than this. You know what... so does Austin. While I may not be thrilled that you slept with him. How could you deny that? Something that is supposed to be so special between the two of you. He's always chasing you, now I think it's time that you chase after him. Goodbye Ally. I hope that you realize that you're Austin's once in a lifetime before it's too late."

Gavin's words really hit home to her. While they should have made her feel better, she only started to cry more. If she doesn't go after Austin now. She's going to lose him for good. Ally picks up the sheet lyrics, just decides to look at the notes and sing Austin's song a-cappella.

"If I Can't Be With You" by: R5

I don't wanna be famous,
I don't wanna if I can't be with you
Everything I eat's tasteless
Everything I see don't compare with you
Paris, Monaco and Vegas,
I'd rather stay with you
If I had to choose
Baby you're the greatest,
And I got everything to lose,
And I just want to be with you
And I can't ever get enough!

Baby give it all up, up, I'd give it all up,
If I can't be with you!
All of this stuff sucks, yeah all of this sucks
If I can't be with you!
And,
No Oscar,
No Grammy,
No mansion in Miami
The sun don't shine the sky ain't blue,
If I can't be with you!

I could sail around the whole world
But I still won't find a place,
As beautiful as you girl!
And really who's got time to waste?
I can't even see a future,
Without you in it, the colors start to fade,
Any way I'm gonna lose you,
And nobody in the world could ever take your place!
You're the kind I can't replace!
And I can't ever get enough!

Oh Austin. This pain is just too much. I can't even describe how I'm feeling right now. I'm such an idiot. I love you. I can't believe that I did this to you.

Baby, I'd give it all, up, I'd give it all up,
If I can't be with you!
All of this stuff sucks, yeah all of this sucks
If I can't be with you!
And,
No Oscar,
No Grammy,
No mansion in Miami
The sun don't shine the sky ain't blue ,
If I can't be with you!

Ally cries even harder as she continues to sing the song Austin wrote for and about her.

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
If I can't be with you!
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
If I can't be with you!

If I can't be with you!
Oh if I can't be with you!
If I can't be with you!

Oh, all of this sucks, if I can't be with you!

All of this stuff sucks, yeah, all of this sucks!
If I can't be with you!
And,
No Oscar,
No Grammy,
No mansion in Miami
The sun don't shine the sky ain't blue
If I can't be with you!
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
If I can't be with you!
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
If I can't be with you!
With You

As Ally strikes the last chord on the guitar she falls to the ground. I guess we're even now. It looks like we both hate that we love each other.

She never even got to tell him.

...

I don't want to be without you Austin.

A/N: Okay guys I cried writing this one. Believe it or not. This kind of shit does happen in real life. I'm so sorry, but Ally needs to suffer the consequences of her words. She really really messed up this time. I love you, just trust what Austin said about Auslly. Okay xoxo!
