Chapter 11-Remember when?

I walked up to Austin. It was the first time I looked into his eyes since he kissed her, and I saw his pain and he saw mine, especially because I was still a little bit teared up.
  "You looked at me, with...those eyes. Those eyes I fell in love with. But I know you're crying." He said, lifting my chin.
  "I am, now tell me what happened." I demanded.
  "I went inside and showed Molly where my mom was, but then my mom kept me there to talk. Then I went and got a drink from the fridge, and as soon as I was walking to the door, Molly grabbed me. She started kissing me, but then I pulled her off. You walked in just as she tried to kiss me again."
  "Okay..."
  "That's it...? Okay?" He asked.
I found myself running out of breath, and I soon became dizzy. My world became haizy.
  "No, someone call for help." I said panicing with not that much breath to spare/.
  "Whats wrong????" Alex said.
  "I'm dizzy and I can't breathe. Hurry." I said.
Before I knew it, I blacked out. I woke up to find myself in a hosptial bed, surrounded with flowers and IV's. At first, I had no clue where I was, but then I remebered. As soon as I went to yell for someone, I saw a shadow out of the corner of my eye. I looked slightly to the side, and saw Austin dressed in the same clothes as I remebered, with his hat covering his face. I shifted over a little bit closer to Austin and he sprung awake.
  "Whoa, whaaa...?" He said, thinking someone woke him up.
I layed there with my eyes shut, pretending I was sleeping.
  "I know you're awake, you just don't want to talk. So i'll talk." Austin said.
  "What if I want to talk?" I said in a soft, weak tone.
  "Then talk, I'm all ears, always."
  "When I saw you kissing Molly, I knew it was her fault. But it didn't make me any less upset. Do you know why I started running? It was because, if anything bad happened, I could leave quickly. And that came in handy today, or yesterday. What's today?"
  "Sunday, so it was yesterday."
  "Ok, so yesterday. Then while I stopped to cry even more, Alex came by me. He showed me a note at the park...by you. It made cry even more because it seemed like I was letting you go. I don't want to let you go, but the more I let go, the more you let go, or as it seems...I don't know, I'm still a little funny in the brain."
  "I won't ever let you go, so please don't let go. Molly can't come in between us, especially because you punched her pretty hard. Listen... I hate messing up, so if I mess up again, I'll fully understand, like I do this time. But I still never want to loose you like I said a year ago. Remeber that video? I wish I could do that again. Actually...."
Before I could say anything, Austin pulled out a flip camera and started recording.
  "Hey guys, I'm in the hospital with my bestfriend / girlfriend, Allie, or I still hope. Let me tell you the story. Yesterday my ex girlfriend came over, and kissed me. Yes, it may sound like i'm a cheater, but I didn't want to kiss her, but Allie was surely mad. My friend Alex showed her how much I love her, so thanks bro. Then Molly confronted her, and tried to beat her up, but Allie smacked the crap out of her. We tried talking but she got dizzy and was loosing breath so she had to be taken to the hospital. Ever since she said called for help, I've been praying to God for her to be ok, and luckly, she is. Thank you God for letting her be ok, and giving her a chance to tell her the truth and how sorry I am, etc. And now I have to talk to her alone, but I just wanted to share my thankfulness and love. Thanks for watching guys, it means alot."
I was touched, I wanted to start crying but I didn't think I had any tears left. Screw Molly, I can love who I want and she can't stop me. This is my life. 
Out of the very few words, I said, "I love you Austin."
He bent over, and hugged me. He nussled his face by mine and kissed me.
  "Get well soon babe...i'll see you tonight when you get home. I love you more than you will ever know." He said with that tone of voice that made me feel all warm inside. He took one last look at me while walking out of my room, smiling bigger than ever.

Chapter 10-I'm Sorry Bailey.

I heard Alex talking to Austin; and I kinda made that obvious. But I decided I needed some girl time so I called my friend Bailey to hang out at my house. She only lived a couple streets down so I decided to meet up with her halfway so we could just talk.
  I went outside to see Austin and Alex still talking, but I decided to turn the other cheek and keep walking. I heard Austin scream out my name a couple times, but ignored it. Then I saw some girl come up infront of me, it was Molly.
"Hey hunn, boyfriend-less now? Aww, sorry sweetie, I guess it wasn't meant to be." Molly said.
"Yeah it wasn't, because stupid you had to ruin it, so just get out of my way." I said.
I tried to walk away but Molly just pushed me back. I saw Bailey in the distance so I screamed for her to come help. She sprinted over.
"How do you think you are Miss Molly Fitz trying to beat up my bestfriend and trying to steal her boyfriend?" Bailey said, confronting Molly face to face.
"He was my boyfriend first, so I think I deserve him more. But if I can't have him, noone can." Molly said, pushing me again.
I couldn't help myself. I took one step and punched Molly right in the face, knocking her down. I heard Bailey scream for help but I was so angry at Molly, I was focused on beating her numb.
"Allie!! Stop!!" Austin said, grabbing me.
"Let go of me!" I said, elbowing him right in the stomach.
As soon as he let me go, Bailey threw a punch, but I dodged it. Quickly, Alex grabbed me and pulled me off to the side, while Austin grabbed Molly.
"Aren't you gonna kiss her again Austie? You have her in your arms." I said in a furious tone.
Molly puckered her lips.
"No, I'm not. I never wanted to. Will you just listen to me?" Austin said.
"Whatever." I replied.
"Alex, will you please talk to her? After all, she listens to you."
"What's that supposed to mean!?!?" I said, angered, ready to throw another punch. But then I stopped. Now all I could think about is putting Bailey threw this.
"Bailey, i'll call you later, when we'll hang, but can you go home so I can straighten things out?" I said.
"Yeah, I understand, I'll see you girly." She replied, then ran home.
Alex started talking to me, but I wasn't listening. I wanted to talk to Austin, alone.

Chapter 9- Oh that boy

"Allie...?" Alex said looking at me, right in the eyes.
"What...?" I said, still crying.
"Why are you crying?"
"Your stupid bestfriend. Thats why."
"Austin? What'd he do?"
"Kissed Molly."
"Molly Fitz? His ex?" Alex said confused.
"Yeah, whatever her name is. I don't really care, all I care about is he kissed her." I said, still balling my eyes out.
Alex finally sat down next to me.
"Hey, look up." Alex said to me, lifting my chin up.
"Why?" I said with tears everywhere.
"Because... It doesn't seem like Austin to do something like that. He always talks about how amazing you are. That's weird, and rude."
"Well he was in there for 10 minutes; they could've been kissing all that time. So, I'm done."
Alex stood up, "come on." He said, taking my hand.
"Where? No, I don't want anyone to see me like this."
He didn't care, and he helped me stand up. He  walked with me until we got to the park.
"This is where we went that day we hung out....Why'd you take me here?" I said.
"Because I want you to see this. He told  me about it a couple days ago." Alex replied.
I knew he was talking about Austin, I tried to walk away but he took me by the hand, and walked me under the slide.
"Look at that." He said.
It was a note, from Austin. It said that he'd love me no matter what, forever. But that still didn't change my mind.
"I don't care... I know you're trying to help me, but it's not really going to help." I said.
"It's ok..." He said in a shy tone.
We started walking and got back to my house, when Austin was outside. Of course, I quickly thanked Alex and sprinted inside so Austin couldn't talk to me.
"Hey man, you really hurt her, she hasn't stopped crying even once." Alex said to Austin.
"Molly kissed me dude!" Austin replied.
"Why were you in there for 10 minutes then? It couldn't of took that long to find your mom."
"Well I showed her where my mom was, them my mom wanted to talk to me. After that I was going to get something to drink, she grabbed me and kissed me. I pushed her off but then she kept trying to kiss me. And of course, Allie had to come in right as she started kissing me again."
"Well...I don't think Allie's going to forgive this time." Alex said hesitantly

Chapter 8-Molly, Oh Molly

It's a year later and Austin and I are still going strong. We started singing together more and reached up to 1 million subscribers on Youtube. Austin and I were all good...untill the day molly showed up.
"Oh.my.gawd.AUSTIEEE!" Molly said.
"Oh my god, Molly..." Austin said in a low tone of voice.
"Oh Austie? Wanna tell me who this is?" I said in a very pissed off voice.
"I'm only the best girlfriend Austin has ever had. You missed alot when he dumped you a friend. Hahaha." Molly said in a snotty tone of voice.
"Excuseee me? And oh gee, thanks." I said in a pissed off tone.
"You were not the best. And i made a big mistake with not talking to Allie. Plus, you only liked me because I'm "hot and famous"." He said.
"Whatever. Wheres your mom? My mom sent here to give her something." Molly said.
"In the house." Austin said hestiantly.
I sat there in silence with Austin untill Molly came out again.
"I couldn't find her. Can you show me?" Molly said.
"Whatever, sure." Austin said.
After about 10 minutes of sitting there waiting for Austin, I go inside to check for him. Right as i walk in a see Molly kissing Austin.
"HOW COULD YOU?" I screamed while crying.
"But Allie!!!!!!" Austin screamed.
I sprinted out of the house, slamming the door behind me. Austin was chasing after me but I didn't care. I went into my house, ran up to my room, and locked the door. About a minute after I heard a knock on the door.
"Go away!!!!!" I screamed with tears all along my face.
"No." A voice said.
It was Austin's voice. I could tell; but it didn't sound entirely like him. He sounded...stuffy. He was crying.
I've hard that if a girl cries about a boy; shes really upset; and if a boy cries about a girl; it means she's the only one for her. But that didn't stop me from crying or want to forgive him.
"Go away now!! What makes think I want to talk to you?? You were kissing Molly! While we were dating! How could you." I said.
"She kissed me! I'm sorry!" He said.
"Mhmm...thats what they all say. Your apoligizies won't work anymore. I thought loosing you back then was hard...but now its even worse. So go away, I'm never opening this door up for you ever again. Go.Home."
There was silence, hoping he left, I opened the door and ran into the bathroom so that my mom wouldn't see me. I turned on the light and saw Austin. As soon as I went to grab the doorknob, he grabbed my hand and stopped me.
"Let me go!!!  Get your stupid hand off me. Don't ever touch me again" I said.
As soon as he let go, I opened the door and sprinted outside, thank goodness I'm a good runner, so ran all the way to the stop sign a couple streets down, when i finally had to stop to get some air. Wondering if he was behind me, I went behind a big line of pine trees. Shocked, I found a fort that Austin and I made when we were little, which made me cry even more. I heard foot steps on the concrete and turned around, it was Alex.

Chapter 7- All along?

  "I have to tell you something honestly..." Austin said.
  "Ok, what is it." I said worried.
  "I stopped talking to you because I liked you. I didn't want to ruin our friendship so...yeah. I feel bad though, and I just wanted to tell you. But I don't want this to ruin our friendship again, so will you promise to always be my best friend?"
  "Its ok... I promise. Best friends, forever." I said, and honestly it was ok. I guess I'm so in love with this guy it doesn't even matter.
 Soon enough, i got a text from my mom saying to come home for dinner. While we were walking down the stairs, Austin held my waist like you would see in the movies. When we reached the bottom of the steps, we both faced each other. Is he going to kiss me? What should I do? I wonder if he's just as in love with me as i am with him. With my thoughts over flowing me as usual, Austin gave me a hug and kissed me. Could it be anymore perfect? 
  Smiling, I ran out the door because my mom kept sending me texts, annoyed.
I got home and ate sloppy Joe's, my favorite! Then it was about time to go to bed, so I ran up the steps, turned on my laptop, and went on twitter. I gave up on facebook because nobody went on that I talked to. Scrolling down my timeline, I see fans of Austin, threatening me. What did I do wrong??
 After I saw all of that, I called Austin and told him. He was online too so he knew what was going on.
  "Don't worry, they can't do anything, they just all want to be my girlfriend." Austin said.
  Angered, I replied, "Ohh, so you think they all want to be your girlfriend? Your acting just like you were in 6th grade."
  "But..."
I hung up before Austin could finished. He kept texting and calling me until he finally gave up. A few hours later, I noticed Austin posted something on YouTube titled "I'm sorry." Interested, I clicked on it, wondering if it was about me. It said...
  "Hey YouTubers. I know you were all probably expecting a new cover tonight, but that's not why I'm here. Recently on Twitter and Facebook, you've all noticed I have a girlfriend now. Her name is Allie, and she's my best friend. Today she called me and said you guys were threatening her. I have to say, if your true Mahomies, you'd be happy for me, especially because she's a great girl. She doesn't deserve to be treated this way. And Allie, if your watching this, I'm sorry for how I've acted, because that was the wrong thing to say. You're my best friend and I never, ever, want to loose you. I'm sorry for not being there for you in 6th through 8th grade And honestly, I love you, both ways. It may sound corny, but we know so much about each other that no one else knows. I can be myself around you, you're truly amazing, and beautiful. I wanted to say this in person, but my mom wouldn't let me leave the house. To all my fans, I love you all so much, but some of you are going to have to accept that I really like this girl and I don't want to screw it up. Bye guys."
 I started tearing up. This is about the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, and when it came from Austin, it made me love him even more. I had to apologize and thank him.
 It started raining, but I didn't care. I ran into the garage, grabbed a basketball, and rang his doorbell. His mom came out and said that Austin wasn't feeling well, but I asked to come in anyways. I went up to his room and knocked on his door.
  "Mom, I don't want to talk." Austin said in a demanding voice.
  "What if it wasn't your mom...?" I said.
Austin opened the door. "You still want to talk to me...? You sounded angry on the phone."
 "Check your latest YouTube comments."
 There he found my comment, liked by 303 people, saying how that was the sweetest thing some has ever said to me. It also explained how I felt and then some. He scrolled down and found all his fans saying sorry and saying nice things about me.
  "So...your not mad?" Austin said looking at me with puppy dog eyes.
  "How can i be mad when you said the nicest thing in the world?" I replied.
  "I guess you can't..." Austin said smiling.
I couldn't resist, so I hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek, returning a smile.
  "I'm sorry for freaking out. Wanna play some basketball? I brought one over."
   "Definitely."
 We went outside in the rain and horsed around like old times, and this time, I didn't get hit in the face. Out of nowhere, Austin came up next to get and gave me a kiss. I always remembering him saying that kissing in the rain was super romantic, which made me smile even more.
 Finally.

Chapter 6-If a doors locked, bust it open

After the accident, we decided to go inside and chill. We went into Austin's room and played an intense game of zombies in Black Ops, in which we powned. Soon after we finished our game, Alex had to go home because of dinner. It was my chance. Tell Austin how you really feel, i kept saying to myself. It was the perfect chance.
  "Hey Austin?" I said cautiously
  "Yeah?" He replied.
  "Do you ever think about me more than a friend?"
  "I'm not gonna lie here..but, yeah...Do you?" He said shyly.
  "Yeah..." I said.
So here we are...saying we like each other, but not doing anything about it? I wish he'd make the first move. I have to say something before he thinks I'm changing my mind or something.
  "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He said in a low whisper.
  "Austin.."
  "Yeahh...?"
  Looking him straight in the eyes, I say, "You don't know how long I've waited for that."
   "So..is that a yes?" He said, looking up at me with a smile nobody can resist.
  "Yes."
Finally, he's my boyfriend. I hope this never ruins our friendship, even though I've liked him all this time...
  "But Allie, I need to tell you something..."
  "What...? What'd I do...?"

Chapter 5-Knockout, Literally?

Later that day, Austin, Alex, and I went to the park. At the park, Austin and Alex pushed me on the tire swing till I felt like puking, which wasn't long. Then we partied on a spinning jungle gym while Alex was in some type of character mode and acted like a 5 year old the whole time. Austin just sat there wondering why they were friends and me just laughing. That made me realize that Alex is just a fun person, hes got a crazy side, then a cool normal one. Which made me think that were going to be good friends.

   After a while, the park got boring since half of the things there, we couldn't fit in.
  "What's there to do?" Alex said.
  "We could...shoot some hoops?" Austin replied, "You want to Allie?"
  "Is that a challenge?" I said.
  "Ohhh! Somethings about to go downnn!" Alex said.
  "You got that right." I said while trying not to laugh.
When we got back to Austin's house, we started playing knockout. It was Austin's turn when he shot the ball and it bounced off the rim, smacking my face. Austin rushes over and apolgizes about 50 times while Alex got ice.
  "Allie! I'm soo sorry. Are you ok???" Austin asks with a worried tone in his voice.
  "It's fine, i swear. I just need some ice." I say.
  "Are you sure??"
  "Yes, i'm ok..but.." I tried to finish but I got cut off by Alex giving me ice and asking if I was ok.
I wish Alex could leave for just a little bit so I could talk to Austin, I thought to myself, but I guess it can wait.
  "What were going to say Allie?" Austin said curiously.
  "I'll tell you tonight..nevermind for now..." I said.
  "I feel the need to add this like it's a TV show, soo, 'OHHHHH!'" Alex said jokingly.
 

Chapter 4- *Ding Dong* Anybody home?

  A day after our "bet", Austin put up the YouTube video of us. I was surprised to find out that alot of people liked my singing, and they wanted more videos from me. I had to thank Austin, because it's the least I could do.
  I ran over to Austin's and rang the doorbell. Surprised, his friend Alex answered.
  "Hey..is Austin here?" I said.
  "Yeah he's upstairs, he just wanted me to answer because he was getting ready." Alex replied.
  "Ohh... I guess it wait."
  "Here..hold on... I'll get him."
I stood in the entry and waited for Alex to get him. In about a minute, Austin came down.
  "Hey" Austin said while walking down the stairs.
  "Hey..is this a bad time?" I said.
  "Nah, I'm just chillin' with Alex, he won't mind. He actually asked if you wanted to hangout with us. Wanna?"
  "Sure, why not." I said, "Oh i almost forgot, I just wanted to thank you because alot of those views are from people who liked me. They even said they wanted to see me sing more!"
  "Allie, that's awesome!" Austin said, going in for a hug.
Alex walked down the stairs while we were hugging and said , "Ohhhh! Get some!!"
Austin laughed then chased Alex around the house while I sat there laughing. It reminded me of what I used to do with him, which made me laugh even more.
  Eventually, they stopped and sat right next to me.
  "Sooo..HEY! I'm Alex! You must be Allie." Alex said happily, "Austin talks alot about you."
"Well hi, I'm Allie." I said, more focused on what Austin said about me.
Soon enough, I found myself only thinking about Austin. How good he sings, how funny and nice he is, how I can be myself around him, how cute he is, and everything else that is good.

Chapter 3- Reunited, FINALLY!

After I beat Austin in basketball, he asked if i wanted to hangout tomorrow. Of course, I said ok because I didn't want things to change again. When my mom called me in, we hugged goodnight and went inside. I did the first thing a teenage girl would do, facebook and tweet about my life! I was scrolling down the recent posts and I saw Austin's status as, " One of the best nights I've had in a long time (; "
   This made my day about a hundred times better. To know my best friend is back, is one of the best feelings right now. Wanting tomorrow, I want to bed early.
   I woke up the the morning from the sound of a new voice mail. I called my voicemail, and I heard Austin's voice singing to me. He told me to call him when I got up so that we could hangout all day...if I wanted to. I got ready super fast, but tried to look my best. I walked out of my house singing super loud, to find Austin in his driveway texting. Embarrassed, I stopped and sat next to him.
   "Allie, don't stop- you're a really good singer." Austin said.
  Surprised, I replied. "Really? Never thought so... but ok. Not as good as you."
   "Nahh, you're better."
   "You know we could do that for hours?" I said
   "We could..or we could let the YouTubers decide..?" Austin replied
   "Like a video of us singing together and asking who's better?"
   "Yeah, like a duet."
   "Aight, but they're going to say your better because of your looks, and you are better."
   "We'll seeeeee..." Austin said with a smirk on his face.
We headed upstairs to Austin's room where he recorded songs. His room was exactly how I remembered it, even with my card I made him for his 5th birthday hanging up. That made be blush, which was really obvious, so I sat down on his bed, petting Romo.
   "He missed you.." Austin said. "And so did I."
   "Well I'm here now." I said with a smile.

Chapter 2- Don't close the curtains on me, not this time.

When Austin and me were best friends, he'd always walk with me on and off the bus. When one of us was sick, we'd wait for each other on the sidewalk, waiting to tell each others' stories. The first day Austin was home schooled, I was off of school. I wanted to be outside so that maybe Austin would notice me. So i grabbed a basketball and headed out on the street where the hoop was. I looked into his window, and there he was staring at me. Knowing he was looking, I got a feeling in my stomach that I couldn't explain. It almost felt like I was in love or something. But then i thought to myself, why would I be in love with a guy who totally forgot about me? but we know so much about each other, and it would make sense if i had some sort of feelings for him. I sat there wrestling with my conscience, not knowing what I should feel. I decided to shake it off with some basketball. Showing my best moves off, so that it made me look like I was ok, would do the trick. I was going for a lay-up, and i fell, face flat, scraping practically all my legs and arms. I lay there, determining whether i should get up or call for help. Soon enough, I sat up to see Austin with a wet towel and bandages, rushing to me. I didn't know whether to act embarrassed or hurt, so i just sat there, waiting for Austin to talk.
     "Oww... Are you ok?" Austin said while putting the wet towel on my arm.
        Jokingly I said, "Yeah, sure, just alot of scrapes and blood. I'll walk it off."
     "Well have no fear! Dr. Mahone is here!"
I couldn't help but laugh, the tone of voice he used was just unbearable not to laugh at. Then I thought whether if I should act mad or just keep the conversation going. I couldn't make up my mind so I let Austin finish helping me and see where the conversation went.
    "Aight, we'll your all done." Austin said
    "Thanks for helping me.." I said
    "No prob., it's the least I can do."
    "What do you mean by that?"
    "Well... I realized that I was a jerk. I saw you crying that one day... I felt really bad for not saying anything, mostly because I knew it was about me... I'm sorry Allie. I miss those toddler times, but I don't know if this apologie will make up for it. But do you wanna pick up where we left off?"
I couldn't believe what he was saying. Those words were what I wanted to hear for a long time. It was actually really sweet, which made me like him even more.
   "Be ready to be crushed because this boss is taking you down." I said.
Soon enough, Austin and I were playing; just like old times.

Chapter 1-Neighbors First

    Me and Austin go way back, practically since we were babies. We would always race, party with a sprinkler, and just do what little kids do. Ever since kindergarten, we've had each others back: in school, at the park, or just anywhere. A boy would pick on me, Austin would be there to call him out. A girl would annoy Austin, I'd be there to tell her to leave. We fought each others battles, just like best friends do.
    But, the friendship started to change in sixth grade, when Austin got cute. He'd always have girls following him around, texting him, flirting, and were always trying to get his attention. With all that, he barely had anytime for me. We started drifting apart, until, one day i found myself crying because I had completely lost my best friend. But of course, Austin loved all the attention and didn't notice a thing. There came a point when I was be practicing some basketball outside, and he didn't even notice. The wrong thing about that is he always noticed. He'd usually come running out, take the ball from me and shoot, then I'd take it back and we'd play one on one. Then he stopped; forever.
   What was even worse is when he put YouTube videos up. He got cocky at school, and even more girls loved him. I would pass him in the hall, and he didn't take one look at me. It was like I wasn't good enough because I wasn't falling all over him. That was until the day Austin decided to be home schooled. I heard that he couldn't take the popularity anymore because it got out of handle. When i heard this, I was happy, and sad. The reason I was happy is that maybe he'd get time for me now, but i was sad because he didn't mention one word to me about it.
