Ally's POV

I sat on the couch watching the movie 'Something Borrowed' and shoved some popcorn in my mouth as tears trickled down my cheek. Through mumbled popcorn in my mouth I yelled, "You never knew her you were a freaking liar!" And threw some popcorn at the screen in anger as I sobbed.

I didn't even like Austin and yet I was sitting here crying over him. Why did he have such an effect on me? Why was it me of all people me, the one that had to be publicly humiliated in front of his crew? Why?!

I shoved more popcorn in my mouth as I let some more tears fall. It was Saturday and my dad was out on a business trip, he left early this morning along with Aunt Belle, Ricky, and Angela. At least they were out doing something while I was here crying my eyes out.

I hated Austin with a passion. He was the only one that could leave me with so much rage in one day. How was that even possible?

Suddenly my phone rang and I answered it.

"What?" I snapped.

"Whoa there Ally what's gotten into you?" Kellyanne asked.

"Nothing what do you need?" I asked trying to tune down my aggressive tone. "I was just wondering if you were all right that's all."

"Well I'm fine Kelly but I'm busy I'll call you later." And without a second thought I hung up. I knew I was being down right mean but if I stayed on the phone any longer I would have burst into tears and I did not want to share my public humiliation with Kellyanne. Even though she's my only friend I could just tell she would brag about how right she was.

She was totally right about Austin, he is a jerk. Nothing but a cold heartless jerk.

Ding Dong

I mentally groaned. I looked awful I didn't want anyone to see me like this!

I found some self confidence to get off my butt, I wasn't going to let Austin's ridiculous attitude make me selfish.

I went to the door and opened it up. "Hi my car broke down and I was wondering- wait Ally?" Meeghan asked. "Oh hi Meeghan." I said shyly. Great Austin's sister was here, more humiliation.

She stepped inside observing me. "Are you okay?" She asked worriedly. I timidly pulled a strand of hair behind my ear trying to flash a smile, "Yeah I'm perfect." I said a little bit too giddily.

Meeghan cocked an eyebrow and put a hand on her hip. "You're obviously lying so you might as well tell me." She sneered. I sighed, "Thanks for the consideration Meeghan but I'm fine." I explained.

"I don't believe you."

"Oh and why not?" I snapped. "Because you don't blink when you lie Austin does the exact same thing." She proclaimed victoriously. My heart shattered a little as I heard Austin's name. This was so distressing.

I sighed and invited her into the living room. She took a seat on the couch and examined the room. "This must be serious you're watching Romeo and Juliet."

I laughed and sat down on the couch. This was probably the first time I've actually smiled since yesterday. "Now what's up girl?" She asked sitting her hands in her lap. "It's about Austin." I muttered under my breath.

"You like him!" She squealed. "Ew gross no, it's just we got in a fight in front of his crew and he acted like a whole different person. It's like I was invisible to him. He-" I couldn't hold it in, I just started out sobbing. "Awe sweetie!" Meeghan soothed and hugged me tightly. She rocked me back and forth trying to calm me down. It made me feel better that she understood.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that."

"No don't be sorry Ally. You were hurt by my own brother, I can't believe him. You're the sweetest thing on the planet!"

I bit back a laugh, "Thanks Meeghan it feels really good to talk about it." I said with a sly smile. She grabbed my hand smiling, "You can do so much better than Austin and we can prove it tonight!" She exclaimed. I cocked an eyebrow suspiciously as she smirked, what was going on in that teenagers head?

"What do you mean?"

"We're going to a party!" She yelled jumping off the couch. "No," I laughed and walked into the kitchen. "We are not going to a party, especially if Austin's there."

"Ally stop being such a bus kill! You need to show Austin that you don't care what he thinks and prove that you're strong." She enthused. I rolled my eyes and sipped on a water bottle. "I'm not going Meeghan that's final." I said standing my ground.

She looked at me smirked.

Two hours later Meeghan pulled over to the side of the road and parked the car. Some way she persuaded me to come to this party.

"I can't believe you made me do this." I whined as she pulled the keys out of the ignition. "Come on Ally loosen up, I know the thing happened yesterday but when Austin gets here he's going to regret saying those things to you!" She squealed and snapped her fingers.

"Meeghan you don't understand I can't go in looking like this!" I complained. I was wearing booty shorts with a tight pink Hollister shirt and some pink all star converses. My hair was pulled into a high ponytail and my eyes were a smokey color, thanks to Meeghan. I thought I looked really good but I would never admit that.

"Oh be quiet you look hot now let's go!"

We both got out of the car and headed for the house. As usual music was booming, I could feel my chest pulsating with the music. Suddenly the memories of the last party bothered to come back to me. I stopped before we walked inside the chaotic house.

"What's wrong?" Cassidy asked.

I shook my head and furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Ally I know you're not into this life scene but I got to pull you out of your mood and to me this is the only way." She said apologetically.

"You couldn't have taken me out for ice cream?" I simply suggested. She rolled her eyes and pulled me into the house. I was instantly hit with the smell of beer and perfume along with cologne which was a little too much for me. "This is so not a regular party."

"Candace's parties are never regular it's all out of go home!" She cheered clapping her hands together. I sighed as she led me to the kitchen. It felt as if the music was getting louder and I realized that we were only getting closer.

"Hey Meeghan." A rather handsome boy said to her. He had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. He was muscular with a chiseled jaw line. Meeghan blushed and leaned against the counter twirling her hair, "Hey Jason."

"Wanna dance?" He asked holding out his hand for her to take. She nodded and looked back at me with worried eyes. I told her I would be fine and she disappeared around the corner. I looked around the kitchen awkwardly. I felt so out of place here, I knew no one and of course no one knew me as well. Not that they would want to in the first place.

"First time here?" Someone asked.

I looked back to see it was the boy from the ice cream parlor. I then nodded answering his question, "Me too I'm not into the party scene either." He said flashing me another one of his famous smiles. It was a smile that almost made me melt. "Aye aren't you the cute girl from the ice cream parlor?" He asked.

I blushed at the comment and answered with a simple yes.

He smirked and started sipping on his drink once again, "Name?"

"Ally Dawson." I answered inching a bit closer to his side. "Pretty name, well Ally Dawson would you like me to get you a drink?" He flashed me another smile and I couldn't help the blush that spread to my cheeks. "Yes please."

He walked over to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of vodka. He grabbed a glass and poured some. I was getting nervous I've never drank alcohol before, but it can't taste that bad right? Everybody does it so why can't I?

"Cheers?" He said handing me my glass. We clinked glasses and I chugged down my drink choking on it for a little while. "Thanks." I said shyly. The sensation I was feeling was tingly yet exciting. He laughed and flipped his hair, "Want to dance my favorite song is on." He beamed.

I nodded and he led me to the dance floor.

And for a moment, I forgot about all my worries which all revolved around the Moon boys. "What's your name?" I asked as his hands slid around my waist. "Noah Ryder."

I smiled, what a unique name that was. "That fits you just perfectly."

"Eh I guess, gives it a little edge." He said and I laughed. He was perfect.

Austin's POV

What the hell.

I was on a couch looking over at Ally and Noah glaring. Jealous you say? Heck no I was just mad that's all. Nothing more nothing less.

"Hey babe so I was thinking we could go upstairs I'm in a good mood." Cassidy said handing me a beer. I took it and chugged some of it down. I was pissed beyond pissed and I didn't give a damn about it. I couldn't bare to see Noah's hands roaming that body I just couldn't. So I took another sip of my drink. "Not now Cassidy I'm busy." I spoke.

She groaned, "Austin you've been sitting here for the past 15 minutes staring into the crowd for what? Come on lets just go upstairs and I'll put you out of your mood." She teased tugging on my arm. I pulled it out of her grasp.

"Cassidy!" I snapped. She whimpered and put her hands on her hips. "Look all I said was not right now maybe later."

She sat down on my lap and started to grind on me, "Cassidy I mean it so don't try to turn me on I'm not in the mood." I snapped once again. She's been getting on my nerves ever since we left the ice cream parlor. She kept dissing Ally and I couldn't take it anymore. I know I seem like a total jerk but if Ally doesn't like me I don't like her back. Seniors and sophomore's don't click. Neither do bad boys and good girls.

"It's because of that bitch Ally isn't it I can see you looking at her." She huffed.

I rolled my eyes and sipped on my beer until she pulled it out of my grasp, "What the fuck?" I yelled.

"We're dancing and I'll show you what you need." She said sitting the drink down. She pulled on my hand and led me to the dance floor. She forced my hands around her waist and we started to dance moving to the rhythm of the song. We started to move closer to Ally and Noah and I caught her sharing a glance with Cassidy.

"Eyes on me." Cassidy sneered.

I kept my eyes on her and took a deep breath as she started to kiss my neck. My eyes then trailed over to the seductive, yet provocative outfit Ally was wearing and might eye say it was reeling me in. I was completely taken away.

Suddenly Cassidy dug her nails into my back making me moan and hiss. She knew it was my most sensitive spot, I looked over and Ally glared at me. She broke away from Noah and disappeared into the crowd.

I rolled my eyes and glared at Cassidy. She gave me an innocent look and I took off unable to bear her anymore. I saw Ally making her way for the door and I grabbed her wrist pulling her into a bathroom. I locked and she glared at me, "Don't you take another step or I'm calling the police." She threatened.

I laughed leaning against the counter, "The police? What are they going to do arrest me for talking to a girl?"

"I hate you." She snapped. It kind of hurt but I was a bit out of it to really care. "No you don't. You couldn't hate me if you tried, you may not like me right now but I know you don't hate me." I said carefully.

"You're heartless and cold and mean!" She yelled. I smirked and could just sense the fear suffocating her. "I know but you like it."

"What the heck are you talking about?" She asked. "You're sexually attracted to me Ally and you know you can't help it." I exclaimed. She looked at me appalled. "No I'm not so if you'll excuse me." She made her way past me but I pushed her up against the bathroom door.

I forced her hands behind her back and laid my chin down on her petite shoulder.

She struggled against my grasp but I only held on to her tighter. With Ally I couldn't help but feel in control, like I was the superior being. "You know you're lying to me." I sneered. She laughed and tried to pull away, "No I'm not!"

I smirked and leaned down in her ear, "Liars should be punished." I whispered huskily in her ear.

Before she even got the chance to speak I started to kiss her neck, it started out light but then I began to suck on her neck hard. I could tell she was a bit drunk, I could smell a bit of vodka on her.

Pushing the thought away I sucked on her neck even harder, she clenched her fist and personally I was loving the way she was trying to gain control of her body but after all bad boys get what they want right? I was wrong about one thing, Ally was definitely a good entertainer.

"Stop..." She hissed.

I grabbed her ass and she gasped as I bit down on her neck just enough to pinch her skin.

Just to say I wasn't falling for Ally I was just bored with Cassidy and wanted a new territory to land on and Ally was the perfect target being in the state she was in.

"Let's get out of here." I whispered knowing she wouldn't turn down the offer.

She nodded and I opened the bathroom door gaining weird looks from the boys. I flicked them off while leading to the door. "Austin Monica Moon don't you dare!" I looked back to see Meeghan.

"Not so god damn loud Meeghan!" I snapped. She crossed her arms over her chest, "You player go be a perv somewhere else."

"Meeghan don't you speak to me that way!" I yelled. "Why can't I? You talked to Ally like that!"

I stared at her in shock, what didn't she know these days?

"That gives you no right-"

"Right to what? To call girls a bitch? An entertainer? Is that it Austin, you're jerk go find someone else to sleep with." She sneered before grabbing Ally. Ally still looked like she was in a daze as Meeghan got her out of the house.

I looked back to see Noah glaring at me, "Womanizer." He snapped before walking past me.

I ran my hands through my hair.

Who was I becoming these days?
