AUTHOR'S NOTE:

The finale was good but it was so sad. And I'll be honest, it was very depressing that in Duets & Destiny, Austin & Ally were broken up, but it still doesn't change the fact that I miss the show so damn much! It would be really nice to have a movie &/or a reunion episode. Disney Channel, Kevin, Heath, Ross, Laura, Calum and Raini (or LJ and Pixie, too. Pixie is the most adorable dog I've ever freaking seen heeheeheehee!), I hope you can see this. If you can, it would be awesome if you could make that happen!

Anyway, here's Chapter 17! Like I've said before, don't be afraid to leave reviews and suggest how I can make the story good for you all.

ALLY:

I walked into my apartment. I heard the roar of a hair dryer, so I could tell Trish had just gotten out of the shower. Jace had already left for work, so she was obviously alone. She came out of the bathroom, combing her black bouncy wavy hair with a wide toothed comb.

"You're home late."

She said.

I said,

"Sorry, Trish. Austin and I drank a little too much wine and let's just say I ended up sleeping over at his house."

Trish was smirking and was clearly having trouble stifling a laugh.

"Trish, what the hell are you laughing at?"

This time, she broke out in laughter.

"I know what happens when a girl sleeps over at a boy's house. It usually ends up in naked consummation."

I said,

"Granted the sex was consensual, but we were really drunk on wine."

My best friend picked up her toast covered with nutella and started gnawing into it. Trish had always loved nutella. It was her favorite edible paste and she also chewed on some cut strawberries.

"So are you not a virgin anymore?"

I said,

"No. But before, I wasn't technically a virgin because of Kevin."

Trish said,

"I only consider you not a virgin if you've had consensual sex."

I said,

"Good point. And then after I refused sex with Kevin, he started to abuse me."

She said,

"I hated that son of a bitch. After he said horrible things to you, cheated on you with a whore, he put pressure on you to drink and snort crack with him despite that you were only nineteen, and after you broke up with the asshole, he kidnapped you and raped you."

I said,

"I don't need him in my life. I've got Dr. Moon, now."

My mexican childhood friend laughed.

"As you deserve."

Trish took another bite of her toast covered in Nutella.

"I totally oppose against cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and LSD and you know ."

I laughed.

"Funny you say that, Trish. You sell marijuana."

Trish gave me a look of smartassery. She was a smartass sometimes, but she was a very lovable one, too.

"Yeah, medical marijuana. Not recreational marijuana."

"Good point."

Trish asked me,

"Do you even know how many dumbasses fake illnesses to get cannabis cards?"

I said,

"God, I hate when people fake to get drugs or alcohol."

Trish said,

"Me too. Are they really that stupid?"
