My eyes suddenly opened as the elevator lights flickered on. I must have fallen asleep after sitting down with Austin somehow, I guess I had been pretty tired. I moved my head slightly only to realise that I was still resting on Austin's shoulder, causing his head to fall off mine and jerk him awake.

"Morning". Austin yawned as he quickly pulled his arm out from around me and stretched out, as though nothing had happened. His hair had fallen over his eyes overnight and his voice had a raspy tone to it that made him a million times more attractive. Wait. What was I saying?

"Hey. So we have light it seems?" I asked as I slowly edged away, repositioning myself to remove the awkwardness. Austin ruffled his hair around with his hands and looked up nodding.

"Yet, we are still here." He remarked then starting to laugh as he looked up at me. "Your hairs gone crazy".

"Hey! So has yours!" I retorted, moving to the mirror and running my hands through my hair to calm it down.

"Don't worry its still cute." I smiled at his comment, not really knowing why. It made me happy speaking to him, even though we had only met the night before. He was different. I looked back at Austin to see him blushing slightly at what he said as much as I tried to hide it. His hazel eyes sparkled. My phone rang suddenly and pulled it out to see it was my dad.

"Hey Dad!" I exclaimed, relieved to hear his voice.

"Ally! Are you still ok in there?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Starting to get a bit hungry but were ok I think."

"Ok darling they think that it's almost fixed so you'll definitely be out within the hour."

"Ahhh thank goodness! What times the flight?"

"In about 4 hours so we should make it just fine sweetie!"

"Yay thanks dad. Ah I'm so relieved!"

"Anyways I have to go now, we'll see you when you're out."

"Bye Dad" I said hanging up the phone. I quickly flicked through my notifications, texting my best friend my arrival time at Heathrow, and switching to twitter. I leaned against the wall as I scrolled through endless tweets of my friends' holidays and everyone freaking out for the ever-looming results day that was coming up until a new notification popped up.

AustinMoon: I guess I could've been suck in an elevator with a worse person ;)

He had attached one of our selfies from the night before and I smiled looking at it, before retweeting it and looking over at Austin. A sad expression seemed to have dawned on his face as he stared down at his phone. He had shuffled into the corner of the lift and seemed to be thinking carefully about something as he ran his hand through his blonde hair.

"Hey you ok?"

He smiled and gave me a distant look. "You're flying home tonight aren't you?"

"Yeah. I can't wait to get home. Like I love coming here and seeing everyone. But I think I'm starting to realise that England is where I belong." I rambled on as he looked into my eyes.

"So this is it isn't it."

"What do you mean?"

He looked down at his phone again. "It's weird isn't it. You meet someone and spend hours getting to know them in an extreme circumstance and then you never see each other again."

"Hey we can see each other again!" I offered. "Promise you'll call?"

"Promise."

He held out his pinkie and pouted his lips looking deeply into my eyes as I took it and pinkie swore I would call. His hair was ruffled into his face again and he stood up before helping me reaching out a hand to help me up. Sparks rushed through me as I took his hand in mine and he pulled me up. I'd never known anything like this before and I couldn't help but blush as he stared into my eyes. I think I had decided he was about 4 inches taller than me, and I came up to his chin. I pulled his hoodie down around my wrists and straightened my dress. I was still in bare feet after taking my heels off I looked like a complete wreck next to him. His dark skinny jeans and black t-shirt suited him perfectly, and even though he was slightly more punk looking than most guys, his personality was just the opposite.

"Ally can I ask you one last thing before we get out of here." He whispered taking my hands in his causing sparks to shoot through my arms again. I nodded as I looked up into his eyes. They reminded me of my old house. That house had always been my safe-place, he makes me feel safe and that place Is what I imagined myself to be when I need somewhere to escape to. Coincidence I guess.

"Will you dance with me? I know it's lame and kind of weird but please?" He stuttered. His confident had vanished. I've seen many different sides of Austin in these last couple of hours together. But not this, not seeing him look so vulnerable

"Of course I will Mr Austin Moon." I joked making him at ease. He pulled out his phone and placed it on shuffle to pick a song. Stop and stare by One Republic came on and I smiled, remembering how this had been my favourite for years.

"I love this song so much." I giggled as Austin held out his hand for me to take.

"Me too." He smiled and pulled me into him. I placed my arms around his neck and he pulled me into his chest wrapping his arms around my waist as I rested my head on his shoulder. We slowly swayed in time to the music as I listened to his heartbeat in time to mine. How I had become this close to him in the space of a few short hours I still don't know. But everything felt safe, and everything felt perfectly right.

"Thank you." I heard Austin whisper in my ear as he leant down.

"For what?"

"For making this an amazing night. Elevator or no elevator."

I grinned and looked up at him. We were so close our noses were almost touching as he stared deep in to my eyes. His breath was warm against my cheeks and he leaned in smiling. I felt his lips against mine as I smiled into the kiss. The butterflies in my stomach increased by about 700 times. He pulled away and blushed as he beamed at me. The lift started to move with a jolt as we finally were almost free.

"So goodbye for now." He said pulling me into a hug.

"Goodbye Austin" I said hugging him back and gathering up my things. The elevator door opened with the now familiar ping, and I ran out to see my parents waiting for me, suitcases packed and bags ready. Leaving LA had never been easy, and it now seemed like I was leaving something bigger behind.
