Getting dressed for school I am a little nervous. I haven't seen Ally since the birthday party and I told her to figure out her feelings for Alex. I know I shouldn't have but I'm tired of this. I just want a happy normal life with Ally and I can't have that if she is always gonna be thinking about Alex. I know I have messed up and I'm probably not the best guy for Ally but she is the best girl I can get. I love her so much I just wished she could see it.
Sighing I grab my bag and head to my car. I didn't hear anything from Ally about Aubrey so I guess it's all figured out. I sigh and drive to school. After getting out I see Alex's jeep and I look around but I don't see Ally's yet. Maybe I can talk to Alex before she arrives.
Walking into school I see Alex at his locker. Smiling I walk up to him, "Hey man." He turns and looks shocked when he sees me. "Umm, hey… What are you doing here?" I laugh, "Umm school." He laughs and nods, "Yeah that's right." I look around and decide it's now or never, "Alex man, I'm sorry your in the middle of this. I just want you and Ally to figure this all out." He nods and looks down, "So how are you all gonna do this?" He looks around then back at me, "Well we figured to give it a real chance to be boyfriend and girlfriend." I look at him like he is crazy. Although in my heart I know this is the way they need to figure it all out. "Well, umm… good luck." I sigh and walk away.
Going and sitting in an area I wait for school to start just thinking over everything. Ally pregnant then Aubrey being born. Ally and me in Hawaii. Losing the baby that we never knew about. Getting back together and being happy. I sigh and look around to see Ally walk into the school. She looks so great. She is wearing a blue crop top and Black skinny jeans, she has her blue converse on and her hair curled. She even did her makeup to match her outfit. She looks amazing.
She sees me and smiles and starts walking this way. "Hey." I smile, "Hey." She sits next to me and takes my hand, "I want to say sorry again and I understand why you did this. I need to figure everything out between Alex." I smile a little bit at her and nod, "I heard you two are dating." She looks down and nods, "Ally, its okay. You need to figure it all out and the best way to do that is to actually give you two a chance." She looks up at me with those amazing eyes and smiles, throwing her arms around me. "Thanks."
After she pulls back I look at her and smile some, "So I didn't hear anything about Aubrey." She laughs, "Yeah well she didn't want to go to school today she wanted her grandma. So I called and your mom agreed." I nod and we hear the bell ring. "So are you getting her after school or me?" She looks around, "I don't know do you want to?" I smile, "Of course I will get her." She smiles and leans in and kisses my cheek before getting up and walking to her locker.
Sighing I get up and follow to my locker. I see Alex lean in to her and kiss her cheek, "You look so beautiful today." She giggles and looks away and I see the blush there. I look down, When was the last time she blushed for me? When was the last time I called her beautiful? Sighing I grab my stuff and head to class. This is gonna be a long day.
I sit next to Ally at lunch because we really don't want to make everything to obvious that we aren't together right now. Trish and Dez know about this and that is about it besides our family. I hear her laughter and I look over to see Alex telling her a story. Wow, its amazing that the things they do everyday was flirting and I lost that realization. Ally leans into him and he smiles down at her. Oh my god, Alex is really in love with Ally. How did I never notice this? I can't take this. I get up and leave.
I am at my locker grabbing my things to go home when I feel someone hug me from behind. I turn and see one of the cheerleaders, "What are you doing?" She smiles up at me, "Well, I saw you walk away from Ally so I figured it was my chance. Come on I'm so much prettier than her." I shake my head and psuh her off me gently. "I only want Ally." Closing my locker I head out the doors to my car.
I was about to get in my car when I see Alex come running to me. "Austin, you can't leave." I shake my head and open my door. Alex closes it and looks at me, " What happened?" I look down then back up, "I just realized that all this time you have been in love with Ally." He looks down then back to me, "Don't even try Alex, I know you love her. And obviously you are the better man for her. I can't even remember the last time I called her beautiful. Whatever spark we had… I guess its gone and I have to live with that." I open my door and start to get in my car but I turn around, "But I will never stop loving her and waiting for you to screw up so I can get the love of my life back. I just hope that I will have her back soon." Closing my door I pull out of the space and head to my apartment.
Opening the door I realize that I need to pick Aubrey up in a couple hours. Sighing I sit down on my couch and realize I was in this excat moment a few months ago. Laughing a little bit I lean back on the couch and try to figure out the moment when everything was ruined. I wonder when I lost it all.
Looking over to the clock I realize I should go get Aubrey. I have been thinking for almost two hours. I sigh and grab my keys and head off to my moms house. Opening the door I smell the familiar scent and smile. "Mom." "In here sweetie." I smile and head into the kitchen and see Aubrey helping to work on the cookies my mom is making. I walk over and kiss her cheek, " How is daddy's princess today?" She smiles up at me, "Okay." I laugh at how clear she is becoming and get her out of her high chair and hug her.
My mom smiles at me, "Honey you really have became such a great dad." I smile and sit down with Aubrey in my arms. "Well, its so easy to love this little girl." I tickle her stomach making her squeal. I laugh and look up and my mom must have noticed something because she walks over to me worried, "What's wrong baby?" I sigh and put Aubrey down and she runs off to the living room. "Alex actually loves Ally. I'm afraid I wont get her back." She looks down, "Austin, I'm done with this crap. You and Ally need to figure all this out. I am tired of it. Aubrey is the one suffering. I'm done babying you and Ally, you two did this to yourselves." With that my mom gets up and leaves me alone in the kitchen.
Grabbing Aubrey I walk to the door and sigh as I put her in the car seat and head to my apartment. When we get to the house I get her out and carry her to the door. When inside she looks around confused, "Momma?" I sigh and take her to the couch, "Momma is at home, this is daddy's home." She looks around confused again, "My home?" I sigh, "You have two homes right now baby." She squirms and I put her down to let her play.
Watching her sleep that night I realize that no matter what I will always have a part of Ally. I kiss Aubrey's cheek and head to bed. Maybe Ally wont feel the same way as Alex. Hopefully I will have Ally back soon. I will never give up on her. She is my love and I just don't want to fight and argue anymore, so I am gonna let her do this but she has to realize I will be right by her the whole time. I wont turn away from her.
