Come In With The Rain

Chapter 13

Ally's POV

I wake up the next morning feeling confused and dazed. I bring my hands to my eyes to rub the sleepiness out. After sighing out loud, my head lifts up to see a platinum record hanging on the wall. This isn't my room. I turn my head to the other side of the room to see a walk in closet that I can tell is filled with shoes and leather jackets. This is defiantly not my room. What happened last night?

I lay back down on the pillow when my head starts to spin. Do I have a hang over? I wouldn't know because I've never had one in my life. Oh no. I turn my head to the other side of the bed to find a mop of blonde hair laying on the pillow. His back is turned away from me but I know who it is all ready. Austin Monica Moon.

That's when things start to come back to my memory. We were at the air port, we had just kissed when we agreed that we should go back to Austin's house. What ever happened after that is still a little foggy. We didn't? Did we?

My mind is racing so fast that I don't hear Austin wake up and turn around to look at me. "Would you stop thinking so fast? It's making my head hurt." Austin says groggy, rubbing his eyes.

"Sorry." I look over at his figure. The covers are over him but I can tell that he's not wearing a shirt. Did we? "Do you, uh, do you remember what happened last night?"

"Yeah, vaguely. Why?" Does he not see the position that we are currently in?

"I mean, we're laying in a bed together. Neither of us can remember what happened, you're not wearing a shirt. We didn't, you know?" I didn't want to have to say the words out loud.

Once Austin understands what I'm implying, he brings his head up. His hands start to remove the covers. "Ally, we didn't." He gestures to underneath the covers. We're both dressed, well he's not wearing a shirt, but still. "Besides, I would remember it."

I start to get off of the bed but stop my self when my head starts to pound harder. "Ow! What did happen last night?" I rub my head, Austin does the same. So we didn't sleep together but obviously something happened for us to wake up in the same bed with major head aches. "Austin, I have never had this bad of a head ache before. I'm sure that you have had your fair share of hang overs, no offence, is your head suppose to feel like a truck ran over it?"

Austin chuckles lightly, then winces. "Ally, I can officially diagnose us with a hang overs."

"Well, what can we do to stop this feeling, this is worse than morning sickness." I lay back down on the bed while Austin gets up to go out of the room.

Once I have a moment to my self, I try to rake through my mind on why I would drink enough to give my self a hang over. The thinking is just making my head hurt worse so I put it on the back burner. Austin comes back a few seconds later with two cups of coffee and a box of pills. "Hang over cure."

"What are the pills?" I ask while taking the cup out of his hands.

"They're alka seltzers, it's suppose to help with the queasiness." After handing me the pill, I take it and Austin does the same. Once he's back on the bed, he speaks up. "Sooo."

I nod my head at his statement. As I do that, the memory of last night comes to my mind.

The previous day

Once back to Austin's house, I spoke a sentence that I have never spoken before. "We need alcohol."

Austin's eyes widen. "Are you being serious?" I nodded my head as if it was the simplest thing in the world. "Why?"

"Because we need to celebrate!" I raised my hands up in a fun way. What ever got into me wasn't going to come out.

"Are you sure that you haven't already had some alcohol?" As he spoke, he rummaged through his cabinets.

I sat down on the tall stool, watching him. "No, but I think that we should have a fun night. Like we used to." He raised his eyes at my deceleration. "Not that kind of fun. Like we can play truth or dare and, I don't know."

Austin stood at the open refrigerator for a moment before taking out a bottle of an alcohol. "Fine, but not too much fun."

We did have too much because, at seven in the evening, five hours after the red carpet that we did not attend, we're a little tipsy and playing truth or dare. "My manager is going to kill me!" Austin said after taking a long gulp of his drink. "If I lose him it's all your fault."

"My fault!" I said while wailing my hands around. "I'm supposed to be saving your career."

"Lets be real, my career is beyond repair." Austin sighed while getting up to refill his drink. "I'm lucky that he is still my manager after all the rumors and gossip I've put him through."

I get up from my spot on the floor to follow Austin to his kitchen. "Hey, Austin, do you remember the night that we broke up?" I questioned before thinking. We had been having a good night and I didn't want to ruin it but we might as well be getting everything out in the open.

"Yes." He said simply while pouring a drink from the bottle. "I had said that I needed space, you had said that we already had over a thousand miles of space, what more could we need."

"And you said that maybe it still wasn't enough." I briefly flash backed to that night. Austin had come to Miami for his mother's birthday and didn't even tell me till he showed up at my door with reasons already spewing out of his mouth. "I said that," I paused before continuing, "if you wanted space, then maybe we should cut the cord completely."

"The cord wasn't cut until, well till Audrey's umbilical chord. I think the main reason that I kept coming back to you in those months was I had hoped that you would try to make me stay."

Austin spoke the words that I had wanted to hear. "I couldn't ask you to stay because if I did, well, that would be putting my self out there for a boy who clearly didn't want to stay." I felt as though we've had this conversation multiple times in the last few months, but it's different. We weren't holding anything back this time.

"I did want to stay." Austin said so softly that I almost missed it. "I tried to, I really did. But, well, I got distracted by the glitz and the glamour of the life style that I had always wanted. Or I thought I wanted." He slides the drink away from him. "I'm honestly done with it all."

As I thought about what he meant, a sentence slipped out of my alcohol flavored lips. "How can I be so sure that you mean that?"

Austin stared into my eyes, we may have had some alcohol in our systems, but I never felt that sober. He reached over the counter to grab my hand, I allow him too. "I guess that you can't be sure. You just have to trust me."

I could have laughed out loud at his statement. "Trust has never been our strong suit."

"You are right about that." He looked down at his hand that was removed from mine. His eyes move to the living room. "That's do karaoke!"

"Did we sing karaoke?" Austin asks, breaking me away from the fuzzy memory.

"I guess so." A half hour has passed and my head ache is slowly dulling. "I think we did a rendition of High School Musical." If I squeeze my eyes shut hard enough I can picture us in Austin's living room, singing The Start Of Something New.

Austin took a drink of his coffee. "We always did have a thing for karaoke. Remember our first official date?"

"Yes, we went bowling then kicked some butt at karaoke night."

"Ally," Austin had whispered the previous night after singing every Troy and Gabriela duet. "have you, um, been with any one since me?" I knew what he was asking but I didn't really believe it. I thought I gave him that answer when he asked me if Audrey was his.

"You can't just ask me that."

"Why?" It was nearing ten, the bottle of what ever, I lost track, was half way gone. I was a light weight and Austin was just emotional. I decided to ignore his question. "Fine, let's play another round of truth or dare. I dare you to answer my question."

I shook my head. "Why do you care so much?" We were sitting on the floor of his bed room, having moved from the living room. "You don't see me asking you stuff like that."

"You don't have to, it's on the front page of every issue of every magazine." He moved closer to me that our pinkies were touching. "Please tell me, I need to know." I didn't move my hand, so he moved his, to my face.

I could've lied, made up a whole long this of ex men, but what would be the point. "No one. I haven't been with any one least of all thought of any one else since you." Austin brushed his fingers over my cheek. "Is that what you wanted to hear?"

"Maybe." Then he moved his head directly in front of mine to kiss me.

"Wow." I say as my coffee is gone and Austin is sitting beside me. "We had an interesting night." I look over at the blonde who had a determined look on his face. "What? Do you remember something else?"

"Yeah, I was being honest." I ask him what he means. "When I said that I was done with it all." He stands up from his spot on the bed to walk over to my side. "I'm done playing games Als. I want you and only you. I will find a way to fix this mess with Brooke and we will live happily ever after, just like the people in Audrey's favorite movies."

After finishing his grand speech, Austin kisses me lightly on the lips. "Austin, I"

He cuts me off while walking closer to the door. "I'm serious and I know that were going to be together. I'm going to go talk to my manager and then we will fly back to Miami. I love you and you love me too."

I don't even have time to respond because Austin's out the door, I wouldn't know what to say either way. He claims that he's done playing games and I believe him.

I lay my head back on the pillow, sighing contently. Thanksgiving is coming up and I have so much to be thankful for.

I know, I know, it's been forever since I've updated. You have every right to hate me. I've been busy with school and family. Then, when I finally get inspiration, I leave my lap top charger at my dad's. Sad, sad, sad.

Any way, here's a new chapter. This could've been better but I just wanted to update already. This weekend is my homecoming dance so... but I won't keep you waiting as long. This chapter was kind of pointless but they're now on good terms. And just in time for the major drama. They will not break up or argue with each other again though.

I hope you liked this, and please leave a review :) I've been running out of inspiration lately.

Sneak peek for next chapter: It's Christmas time and Austin plans a trip.

Oh, I read this amazing book series in three days. The first book is called 'Just One Day' the second, 'Just One Year', then 'Just One Night' It's by Gayle Forman, same author of If I Stay which was recently turned into a movie. The books were so good! I was hooked from the beginning and couldn't put it down. I read each one in a day. Seriously recommend.

I do not own Austin and Ally or High School Musical.
