It was so weird hanging out with Alex after Austin came up and talked to me. He apologized so much and seriously looked sincere and upset. Whatever, Austin hurt me when all he has to do was talk to me. The thing that made being with Alex so weird is that after Austin came up to me I thought about taking him back but would that be fair to either of us? The bad part is, I think I have feelings for Alex. He is sweet, caring, hot, very easy to talk to, nice, nonjudgmental, and someone I could see myself with. He mentioned that he likes music and that it is always something he thought was important to have in life. Does it get any better than this guy? "Ally."

I blush and look up, "Huh?" He lets out a laugh that rumbles, "I was asking if you were ready to go." I nod and he comes to my chair and pulls it out for me and puts his hand out for me to grab."What a gentlemen." He smiles, "I was taught right." I look down and back up, "Opps, I guess I said that out loud. Anyway your parents did a great job." He looks at me in amazement. We leave the restaurant and go back to the beach but instead of going to our cars we walk down the beach. Hand and hand walking down the beach at night is something someone will never forget. We sit down after walking and just stare out at the waves. "Ally?" I look up at his nervous face, "Yeah?" He looks down to stare in my eyes," I know we just met today but I feel like I know you like a friend." Murmuring an agreement he continues, "What I am trying to say is, I think we could be friends. Maybe we are friends, I don't know. However I want to take you out on a date but I am scared that you won't like me as a friend if I do, or even worse that if something is there that you will go back to that guy and you don't deserve to be hurt. You deserve the best of everything and." I lean over so that I am inches away from his face and his breath gets caught in his throat, "Alex, stop talking."

He looked at my lips and let me tell you I was so tempted but I knew I shouldn't just as I started to move away I felt a hand on waist and another on my arm. I looked up and Alex was staring at me so intently. "Tell me no and I will stop." I tried to make the words come out but I couldn't. Moving closer to my lips I started to get nervous and excited but instead of going for my lips he turned and kissed my cheek and backed away. I just started confused at him, "Ally, I want to kiss you so bad. Oh, how I want to kiss you. However I believe it needs to be romantic and perfect." I moved closer and smiled, "Yes." He turned and started at me confused, "yes. Yes, what?" I laughed, "Yes I think we are friends. And yes I will go on a date with you. You never know if something is there until you try." He smiled so wide it was addictive, I smiled and he jumped up and pulled me with him. "You will go on a date with me?" I nod and he picks me up and spins me around. I am laughing like crazy when he pulls me down and kisses my cheek making me blush. He pulls me towards the cars. "I am so happy you think of us as friends and are willing to give me a shot after one day." I go back to being serious, "This is not something I normally do. I have never done nothing like this and do not plan to again. However, something just felt different here." He nodded and opened the door for me. Kissing my cheek he smiled, "I will get a hold of you with the details. Have a safe trip home and I will see you soon." I got in and he made a motion of locking my door, I smiled and did and waved as I left.

Showering and getting on my bed in my rope, I was thinking over everything that happened that day. I met a new guy who is sweet and amazing. My best friend hurt me and then tried to get me back. Alex asked me out and I almost kissed him. Wow, what a crazy day.

Austin's Pov. .

I woke up feeling horrible. I still cannot believe I did what I did to Ally. My sweet, innocent Ally and I hurt her by being a stupid jealous idiot. Maybe today would be better. Checking my phone hoping for a text but of course nothing was there. I am so stupid, why did I have to go ruin the best thing in my life? I hear a knock on my door but I don't move.

"Austin, Can I come in?" No answer came from my mouth but I still see the door open and close and I see my mom stroll over to my bed and sit down. "Honey, Please come down stairs and eat. What could have been so bad that you don't want pancakes?" I start to tear up and my mom gets protective, "What happened? Tell me now. Did someone hurt you?" I shake my head, "Mom, no. It is the other way around. I hurt myself and Ally in return. I saw her at the beach with some guy and he put lotion on her and I lost it. I yelled at her and called her mean names. She fell to the ground crying and I left her there. I saw her a little later at a restaurant with the same guy but I went to apologize and she did not seem upset at all. Mom, I really messed up. What if she wants nothing to do with me? What if I lost the best thing in my life?" My mom shakes her head and takes a deep breath, "Sweetie, It was wrong what you did, you should have talked to her first. I am going to tell you something I want you to really think about. I heard this line from the movie My Best Friend's Girl, 'See I always knew your mom was the best it was ever going to get for me. And I never asked the more important question which is, was I the best it was ever going to get for her?' I know this does not fit the same lines but honey, think about the message in there. Now, come down stairs." She hit my knee caringly and left. What in the world is she talking about?

I ate my pancakes and was back on my bed still thinking about what my mom said. "Oh my Gosh," I said shooting up in my bed. "I get it. My mom was saying I always thought Ally was the best I could do but I never thought if I was the best she could do." I totally underestimated Ally and how I really felt for her. "I love you Ally." I had to go tell her the truth. I will do it tonight.

Ally's Pov. .

Working at Sonic Boom is so fun. I get to work with instruments and am surrounded by what I love. The store had no one in it so I was writing in my song book about the events of yesterday when I hear my phone go off. Reaching under the counter, I see I have a text. "Ally, Can we go out tonight?" I smile and text him back. "Sure that sounds perfect." I get another text within seconds, "Awesome. I will pick you up at Sonic Boom. Is 7 Okay?" I smile and reply yes getting a, "Great. I can't wait to see you again. " I call Trish and explain that I have a date and need her immediately.

Trish arrived at 6 and I explained everything about Austin and Alex. "Wow, first what was Austin thinking? What does this mean for team Austin? Do you still love him? Do you think he meant any of it?" All of these questions were being asked while my hair was getting done. "Trish, I think Austin just freaked but he still hurt me. I do not know what this means for team Austin yet. I still want to work with everyone and write his songs but I don't know if I can handle it. Yes, I still love him. He was my first love; I will always love him in a way. And no, I think he said everything out of anger and just took his anger from his past girlfriends on me." She nodded, "I will accept whatever your answer is to the whole you and Austin thing, But I think you should maybe give him a second chance with at least the partner and friendship and maybe later on try a relationship again." I nodded and sat quietly thinking while she finished my hair and did my make-up. Maybe she is right, Austin is a big part of my life and he looked generally upset last night. I can give him another chance with at least being my friend and I will keep writing music for him but as for the relationship part. Well, no one knows what will happen in their life.

I was in my strapless blue dress with feathers starting right at my waist and ending mid thigh. It was form fitting and showed ever curve I had. My hair was curled and my makeup matched my dress perfectly. I have to admit I think I looked pretty good. At 6:45 I was completely dressed and was putting my 5 inch heels on when I heard Trish yell up that he was here. I took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror again, smiling at the results and leaving the room I felt ready. I stepped on the first step and was walking down the stairs the whole time staring at Alex. His mouth was hanging open slightly and he looks speechless. Arriving in front of him he still couldn't talk. I laughed and he came back to his senses, "Ally, You look Amazing. You are so beautiful and that dress suits you well. I like that color on you. Are you ready?" I laugh and nod waving bye to Trish. He opened his door for me but I just stared at it. How was I going to get in a jeep with a dress this short? He seemed to understand and came and picked me up sitting me in the jeep before closing the door. Starting to drive to the restaurant I felt nervous, "Ally, you really do look great." I smiled, "You look good too." He was in a dress shirt and dress pants with dress shoes and had his hair gelled to the side but it still looked like nothing was in it.

Arriving at the restaurant I thought I was going to freak. We were at the restaurant everyone tried to get into but no one could. I smiled as he helped me out and we walked in. The inside had chandeliers everywhere and it looked like silk table clothes. I was afraid to eat at the table. He pulled out my seat again and I sat down, "This place is amazing." He smiled and looked around, "Thanks, I heard a lot about this place and figured you deserved to be treated right." I smiled and looked down. Who does he think he is all of a sudden? I do not like places like this. This is not me. I am a simple person. He must have noticed something was wrong, "Ally, Is everything okay?" I sigh, "To be honest, no. This is not me. I am a simple person and this is to much. I could have been treated like this a lot but I don't like things like this." He looked around, "I messed up. I thought that you would like this. Other people seemed like this was going to be an amazing date." I looked up, "I am not like anyone else. I am sorry. I do like this place though. I was just saying that because I wanted to be honest with you." He looked around, "Let's go." Getting up he pulled my seat out and put his hand out, "what are you doing?" He smiled, "Come on. I am taking you to this other place I know." I took his hand and he paid for the drinks and we left. We arrived at this cool pizza place. "You didn't have to do this. I liked the look of that place." He laughed, "No, I should have listened yesterday when you said you were different. Let's go play some games while we wait for our pizza." I beat his butt in skeeball but he won at basketball.

After eating we were at my house and walking to the door. "That was so much better than the first restaurant. I had so much fun." He laughed, "Me too. I like that you were not worried about your hair, make-up, or dress and just had fun. It was nice." I was laughing, "Yes I was." Next thing I know his hand is on my waist again and he has his other on the wall of my house. He smelt so good, "Just say no and I will leave." I started to lean in too when all of a sudden, "No." He pulled away and looked at me sad and I looked up at his confused. "Okay, I will leave now. Sorry I pushed you." I was really confused now, "wait, you didn't say no, because that wasn't me." "Actually it was me." I turn to my bushes and see Austin stepping out. I was shocked, "Austin?" He turned from me to Alex, "yeah, it's me. I am sorry, I just came to talk and then I saw what was going on and I didn't want it to happen. Ally, I came to apologize again and to tell you I was stupid and jealous and I never meant anything I said. I took my anger from my other girlfriend's and used it on you. I am sorry Ally." He came on the front porch with us. "Ally, I love you."
