Clarity

Ally's POV

"Ally tell me what happened that night!" Dylan yelled. While I was minding my own business he popped out of nowhere and started going ballistic. I don't know what Austin said to make him go wild but he did one heck of a job. I slammed my locker shut and looked him in the eyes, "Nothing, can I go I have to get to Mr. Porters class like now. So if you don't mind." I snapped at him before turning around.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back towards him.

"Stop being stubborn Allison." he only ever called me that when he was beyond pissed and seemingly I don't care why he's mad because I am mad too. He left me at a seniors party, at least Kellyanne had the decency to call me and apologize. "I'm mad at you ok? You left me all alone at a seniors party no where to be found! What kind of boyfriend is that!?" I yelled at him. I could feel the heat in my body rise to my cheeks. "Ally," he sighed then looked me in the eyes deeply, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry isn't going to cut it this time Dylan, I have to go."

"Ally-" I pulled out of his grasp and walked away refusing to look back. I know we weren't broken up but I was just very disappointed in him. He left me and he didn't even call to see if I was alright which I obviously wasn't. I know it sounds super selfish but who wouldn't want their boyfriend to call them after a horrible party incident?

I went through the hallways until I bumped into someone's chest.

"Well ouch." I said rubbing my head I looked up to see Austin standing there a playful smirk tugging at his features. "Hey Ally." He said sweetly. Maybe a little too sweet for my liking...

"What do you want?" I asked trying to hide my annoyance. Even though he was super sweet to me last night but he still called me names and made fun of me, which wasn't fun in anyway. "What do you mean? Why can't I talk to my friend?"

"We aren't friends so what do you want." I snapped at him.

He sighed and rolled his eyes, "I need a tutor."

I gave him a look, a look that said are-you-for-real? "Ally, I'm being serious."

"Why would you choose me to be your tutor? I thought you hated me." I said trying to adjust my book bag against my shoulder. "I do."

I scoffed at him and turned on my heels. He then grabbed my arm pulling me back. "Hey I'm sorry ok just please Ally? I don't have much of a choice here." He said almost desperately. He had a soft look in his eyes and I sighed giving in. "Fine when does the tutoring start?"

"Tonight."

My eyes went wide as I realized I had to be at Dylan's football game tonight. It was going to be his first game of the year and they were starting a bit too early for my liking. But he wouldn't mind if I canceled on him right? Austin looked like he was in deep trouble, maybe Dylan will understand? Ugh I have a better chance at winning an Oscar award. "Austin I don't know. Dylan's football game is tonight and I promised him I would be there."

"Ok I'll come over early and we both can go to the game. I'll drive my treat." Austin said putting his arm over my shoulder. For some reason I didn't mind it but I didn't want Dylan to see so I squirmed out of his grasp. "Afraid of a little touch Ally?" Austin said with a smirk.

Out of nowhere he then grabbed my waist and pulled me toward his body tickling my stomach. "Austin...Stop!" I yelled laughing as people gave us some stares. I laughed so hard my that my lungs felt like they were on fire.

"Ahem."

Austin suddenly stopped and my laughing died down as I saw Dylan leaning against a locker. His face was red and his fist were clenched together.

I said, "Dylan."

"We're leaving." He said pushing Austin out of the way. He slung his arm around my shoulder as he led me down the hallway. "Ally I don't want you hanging with Austin anymore he's trouble."

"Well at least he didn't leave me at a party." I retorted.

"I'm sorry Ally for the last time I'm sorry. Look I have to get to class and after first period how about we skip second period and go out for some lunch ourselves. My special treat." Dylan said tilting my chin and kissing my forehead.

Even though he left me at the party all by myself I couldn't bring myself to hate him. He's an amazing boyfriend and the only one I have ever had there is no way I'm going to let him go now. I groaned, "Ok fine."

His face lit up and he kissed my lips softly before walking away in one swift movement.

I have such amazing people in my life.


I opened the door to my house and closed the door behind me locking it.

I went to lunch with Dylan and once again it was outstanding. He took me to Melody Diner, it was so amazing. The music, the color, him. I am so in love with Dylan it's hard to describe and I want to tell him as soon as possible.

I ran up the stairs but I was only half way before the door bell rang. I walked back down the stairs and opened the door. There himself was Austin Moon. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm ready to learn that's why I'm here now." He said stepping into the house. I gave him a stare. How rude! He thinks he can just step into my house and force me to help him tutor heck no! "Are you ready?" he asked in an annoyed tone. "Yeah." I answered reluctantly.

2 hours later...

I slammed the textbook shut and fell back on the couch as Austin plopped down right next to me. "That was..."

"Hard." He finished for me. I had a huge headache and I felt almost sick from tutoring all of this senior work for him and yet we were sitting here like we just ran a marathon. Austin then sighed and looked at his watch.

"It's 5:45 wanna get to the game early so we can grab a seat?" He asked getting up and brushing off his jeans.

"Yeah sure." I said getting up. We both headed for the door and he opened it for me as I stepped outside. I hopped inside his car and slammed it shut but he winced. "What?" I asked.

"My car is my baby Ally. Be careful." He said sternly. "Chill out Austin it's not like it has a freaking name." I said as he backed out of the driveway. "Her name's Debra." He said and I started to laugh. "Of course Debra's not her name...it's Shelby." He snapped before driving down the road.

After 10 minutes of laughter until our lungs burned, we arrived at the school. Austin paid for the tickets and bought me some popcorn and drinks before we found a seat in the risers. "Thanks Austin you really didn't have to buy me the bag of popcorn." I said feeling sympathetic. "Oh who said it was for you now?" he snapped at me as he dug his hand into the popcorn bag. I gave him a sad look and he groaned. "Ugh fine." he passed me the popcorn and I smiled taking a scoop of popcorn.

"Hey! You're not dying of starvation lighten up on the load of pop will ya?" He said with a smile and I just laughed. Suddenly Dylan appeared on the field with his uniform on. Ah...look at his handsome self. What an angel.

"I don't see what you see in him." Austin spoke up with popcorn falling out his mouth. I rolled my eyes and spoke, "You're just jealous that you're not in a serious relationship."

"You call your relationship serious? A relationship is nothing unless things get freaky." He said grabbing his drink and sipping on it. "You don't have to have sex to have a serious relationship." I said in a little annoyance. I don't understand why he would say something like this, I guess that is what you get when you hang out with your boyfriends one jerk of a brother.

"That's not what I meant. I meant that you don't have a relationship because you have no obstacles."

"What do you mean obstacles?" I said now sipping on my drink. He bit his lip and sighed before looking at me deeply, "You guys have gone through no obstacles to prove your love for each other. Everything has gone perfect for you guys but nothing has tested your love for each other. For example, a car is coming down the road and he sees it and knows that if he pushes you out of the way he'll die but if he doesn't you die. Get my vibe?" He said before popping a piece of popcorn in his mouth.

I sat there thinking long and hard about what Austin said. For once in his life he's said something that makes sense to me for once...wow shocker.

A whistle blew pulling me out of my thoughts as I realized the game was almost through the first quarter. It was 20 to 12 and we were winning. I saw Dylan in the field as they began to play another game. One of his teammates threw him the ball and he caught it running for the touchdown.

And of course he made it ending the game for the first quarter. "Ok break!" Coach yelled as the team huddled up. Dylan sat down on the bench and began to drank his water. "I'm gonna go down there real quick." I said sitting down my drink and getting up. I walked down the stairs to the track field and through the staff members.

Just as I was in Dylan's view a cheerleader from our school -a senior might add- walked over to Dylan and sat down. I got closer to them hiding behind some people in the small crowd. They started to laugh and then Dylan's face dropped. All the color in his face washed away. He then turned around and saw me. My eyes went wide as I mouthed 'what's wrong' to him. But he just stood up. He then started yelling at the cheerleader in anger. He looked at me with hurt clear on his expressions.

Oh my god what if he found out what really happened at the party? Did the girl extend the truth? What did she say to make him look at me with such hurt and sorrow? Austin then showed up right next to me pulling on my arm. "We need to go."

"No, what is going on why is Dylan upset? Dylan!" I yelled but he just walked away. "We're going now." Austin said pulling me away from the crowd and off the field.
