Come In With The Rain

Chapter 11

Austin's POV

"Ally, I need to talk to you." I say on a Tuesday in late October. About a month has passed since Audrey's birthday party and the confrontation with Brooke. Things had been going as well as they could. Halloween was coming up and we are supposed to take Audrey to look for a costume.

I needed to talk to Ally about the call that I just had with my manager. I had to be back in LA in a week for a red carpet event and Ally needs to come with me. I wasn't sure how she was going to take this. "What is it Austin?"

We're sitting at the dining room after dinner while Audrey plays with her dolls. Since the party, I haven't spent as much time at Ally's I would like, but I don't push it. "Okay, well, Evan just called and wants me to go to LA next week for a red carpet. He would like if you came to."

I watch her face think over the idea. "What about Audrey?"

"I talked to Dez and he said that they can take her for the weekend." I knew that I would be hard for Ally to leave Audrey since she never has before. "If you don't want to, I can call Evan and tell him no."

I can tell that Ally is really thinking over the idea by the way she chips at the nail polish on her thumb. "I'll go."

"You will?" This would be a big step in the growing relationship between the two of us, going away together. "Because I mean it, we don't have to."

Ally turns her attention to the picture that Audrey found last week. Ally and I at the senior prom. I was already living in LA then, working on the first album. I had surprised Ally by flying in for the prom. She was wearing a pretty dress and I was in a sharp suit. We're posing like a couple because in that point of time, we were a couple.

"I'll do it." She reaches over the table to put her hand on top of mine. I freeze at the contact, feeling a shock of sparks ignite my hand. "Now, let's go look for a costume."

Halloween has passed, Audrey insisted on dressing up as Olaf from Frozen and somehow convinced Ally and I to dress up as Anna and Kristoff, it wasn't the finest moment in my life but it made Audrey laugh so it was worth it.

But Halloween is over which means that it's time to go back to LA, with Ally. Ally hugs Audrey tightly as we stand in the doorway of Dez and Trish's. "I'm going to miss you so much."

"Mommy," Audrey starts to pull away from Ally's grip, "you're only going to be gone for two days!" Audrey giggles.

"Yeah, mommy." Dez says lightly. "Audrey's going to have a great time with her aunt and uncle."

I extend my arms for Audrey. "I'm going to miss you daddy."

"I'm going to miss you too."

After saying another goodbye to the little girl, we head to the air port. Being a celebrity means that we get to travel first class. Once in first class, we sit down at our seats, side by side. Ally turns to me before we take off. "So, since we're traveling together, I think we should have a talk."

"About what?" I know what she's insinuating but I would rather play dumb.

"About boundaries and Brooke." Ahh, yes, the two B's. "I assume that we're staying in your home and that's fine but I don't want to be there if other girls are going to be there as well."

"Ally, I would never. Not while you were there."

She shrugs her shoulders, before she can say anything, the plane starts to take off from the airport. Once in the air, Ally speaks. "Okay, but still. I wouldn't want Brooke or another girl there."

"As far as I know Brooke doesn't even know where I live, and if she did, she's be banned from the proximity."

With that, Ally turns away from to stare out at the window.

A part of me feels like she believes Brooke in some way. Maybe not that I'm her baby daddy, but that I slept with the psycho named Brooke. I didn't, I could swear on my life that I didn't. But how do I get Ally to believe that.

The plane lands mid afternoon. Once we got our bags, and were in the limo, Ally called Audrey, who was getting ready for bed. After saying goodnight and love you's, we hang up and by that time we were already at my house. A big house.

"I forgot how big this place was." I say out loud while walking up the drive way. It had been a few months since I had been home. Ally rolls her eyes while rolling her suit case up the steep drive way. We eventually get to the front door and I open it for her.

"It's even bigger inside." Ally says while looking around the living room. She sits her suit case down on floor when she spots a picture frame sitting on the front mantle. "You still have this?" She holds the frame in her hands while turning back to look at me.

The picture in the frame was of Trish, Dez, Ally and I on our first double date. You can see the young and innocence in our little faces. They were standing by the counter at Sonic Boom, I was sitting on top of the counter. Ally and I were still in our phase where we were really awkward around each other. It was a good time.

"Yeah, I guess I do." She puts the frame back and walks over to me. Ally takes me by surprise when she kisses my cheek.

"It was always my favorite."

With that she walks away, suitcase wheeling behind her. I must look like I'm in a daze because she turns back to me a moment later to ask if I'm going to show her where she's staying. I shake my head out of the thoughts and lead her to one of the many guest rooms.

Ally's POV

The guest room is bigger than my room back home and I'm not complaining. The bed is big and soft, the TV is simply big. So as I kick my feet up in the plush robe that was in my bathroom and turn the TV on, I allow my self to relax for the first time in a while.

It has been a long time since I've been to LA. The last time was when Austin had his album launch party. We were still dating but it was more of just a title. We barely spoke at that time.

Being back now, as co parents and fake, well what ever we are faking, feels different but the same. We're still lying to our selves. That hasn't changed in the six years.

It's ten at night when my mind starts to drift away to sleep, but my phone interrupts it. It could be Austin, asking if I'm asleep or it could be about Audrey so I check the mobile device. I reach across to the little table beside my bed for the object. Once in my hands, my heart stops at the message.

Well hello Ms. Ally. I found this picture and I thought you would like it.

Attached to the message is a picture of Austin and Brooke. Brooke was holding the camera while Austin smiled widely.

How did you get my number?

How did she get this picture? If Austin had never meant her before this, like he said, how would she have a picture with him. It doesn't look photo shopped to me.

I have my ways. Are you ready to concede yet?

I don't respond to the message. Instead I turn my phone off and try to go to sleep. I could feel that tomorrow was going to be stressful.

The sun coming through my windows is what wakes me up on Saturday morning. I open my eyes slowly and stretch out my arms. My stomach feels funny at the thought of the messages from last night. I knew that I had to confront Austin about it. But who knows how he's going to take this.

I eventually get up from the comfy bed to throw on a pair of jeans and a shirt before making my way to the kitchen to find Austin. When I do, he's in the kitchen, on the phone with some one. Once he sees me, he hangs up the phone. "Good morning Ally."

"Morning." How should I start this conversation. I think that Brooke is right and you're the father of her baby? I'm starting to have doubts about you? Or, "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, you?"

I nod in response. He's still dressed in his pajama pants, old tee-shirt on. "Look, I don't know how to say this but Brooke texted me last night." I look at his reaction before responding. His face stays calm, almost as if he was expecting this. "She sent me a picture of the two of you." I pull my phone out to show him the picture.

Austin's eyes widen at the picture. "I swear that I don't remember this. She must have photo shopped it or something."

"Austin, you know that if you slept with her you can tell me. You don't have to lie." He doesn't take my statement well.

"I didn't sleep with her!" He pulls at the ends of his blonde hair. "Great, now you believe the rumors to!"

"Hey, I'm sorry that I don't know everyone that you have or have not slept with in the past six years! Obviously there is a reason that people believe the rumor in the first place!"

"Are you saying that it's my fault that this crazy lady is claiming that I fathered her baby?"

It's my turn to pull at my hair. "I don't know! I wish you had-" I cut my self off once I realize what I was about to say.

"You what? Wish that I had never came back?"

I look down at my feet. I knew that I didn't mean that but he didn't. "Austin, I"

"Let, me guess," he cuts me off, "you don't mean it?" Austin sighs loudly. "God Ally, just when I thought that we were headed in a good direction."

"We are!" He points at my phone.

"Then why do you believe Brooke?"

"Because!"

"Because why Ally?"

"Because," I pause to look down at my feet. Why was this so hard? "I don't know. Okay? I don't know!"

"I think I know. You're afraid that I'm going to leave so you want to push me away first."

What? "I'm the one that has tried to get you to stop blaming your self! Don't turn this around on me!"

"Maybe you should leave!"

"You need me for your plan."

He laughs loudly. "What plan? You already decided that I'm guilty so there's no use for a plan." My face is burning red, I can see his turning the shade.

"I need to go." I'm about to walk away but Austin grabs my hand.

"Ally, I didn't mean to tell you to leave."

I manage to get out of his grasp. "You still said it."

"You know that I say things that I don't mean."

"I'm tired of it. So, I'm going to leave and go get my daughter."

Austin's face breaks but he tries to keep it hidden. "You can't keep my daughter away from me."

"I can do what ever I want." I go to the guest room to grab my suitcase, luckily I hadn't unpacked. I wheel the suitcase out to the living room to see Austin waiting for me.

"Ally, don't leave." His hairs is a mess from running his fingers through it.

"Maybe you should have told your self that six years ago." With that I walk out the front door.

The car I called is waiting in the drive way. A part of me feels bad that I'm running away like this but if Austin got to do it then I did to.

I knew that things weren't going to last.

Hey! Are you sad? I'm sad. But, there is only about ten chapters left so things shall get better soon. I will tell you that this is the last major bump in their relationship, there is more drama but this is the last drama that will be with Auslly. If you understand.

Thank you for reading and being awesome. Hope you enjoyed and please leave a review :)

I do not own Austin and Ally or Frozen.
