So for the past hour, I've been rereading the reviews on I'm No Hero because I wasn't feeling too good about myself. I almost forgot how much support you guys give me and I appreciate every single one of you and your reviews mean the world to me. Your constant and kind words make me smile.
The reason why I've been MIA (missing in action) was because at one point of 2014, I've stopped writing fanfictions because of the constant pressure of people asking me to update. I've had massive writer's block and couldn't continue because I had other ideas for stories. So I stopped writing fanfics and started writing my original stories. Technically, ALL my fanfics are originals because the character traits and personality are mine. The only thing different is their name. That's why I always write AU (Alternate Universe).
So recently, I found inspiration. I'm happy because a girl group called Fifth Harmony inspire me. They make me feel good about myself because sometimes, I need that reminder. But since I'm happy, I'm having difficulty writing all the negative and dark scenes that I usually write in I'm No Hero, Let Her Go, etc. So, I'm trying a different approach for Let Me In (I'm No Hero sequel) and I hope you guys like it.
Chapter 2
"Phew! Thank god! I taught you were going to rip my head off for a second there," said April.
Ally let out a light chuckle, "No, I'm not that cruel."
"Well, I'm glad. I really hope that we can be friends."
Ally smiled, "Me too," she said.
Ally Dawson turned to her boyfriend, "Hey Austin, I gotta go. I have a study group in an hour," she said.
"Okay," he said.
She gave him a peck on the lips before walking away. Austin watched as Ally walked off. Austin smiled before turning back. He looked up and saw April giving him a weird smile.
"What?"
"You are so whipped," she said.
"What? Am not!"
"Are too! I can totally see you doing whatever she ask you to," April said.
"Shut up," Austin said.
April smiled, "It's nice to see you happy," she said.
"Thanks," Austin said as he returned the smile.
Meanwhile, Ally was looking for a book at the library for her study group. She pulled out a book and saw a boy smiling at her at the other side of the bookshelf. Ally smiled as she placed the book back and went on searching. She pulled out another book and found the same boy there.
"Can I help you?" Ally asked.
"I don't know, can you?" he asked.
"Is that a trick question?"
The boy let out a light chuckle, "I'm Asher. Asher Blake," said the boy. Asher had short light brown hair and blue-green eyes. He smiled charmingly at her with a smile that would probably make a girl swoon.
"Ally Dawson."
"So, Ally, what are you doing?"
"What do you think? Clearly, I'm looking for a book."
"I think I can help you with that," he said as he walked around the bookshelf.
Ally noticed how he was using crutches to walk. She quickly looked away and saw that he was smiling.
"I uh, I was in an accident," he said.
"I'm sorry," Ally said.
"Don't be. At least I'm not in a wheelchair," he joked.
"So what book are you looking for?"
A smile appeared on Ally's face as she accepted his offer to help.
Meanwhile, Austin was at the gym, sparring with a man twice his age. The man threw a few punches but Austin moved swiftly as he dodged the punches. Austin watched as the man made the next move. Before he could land another one, Austin caught his arm midair in an arm lock and twisted it. Austin used all of the weight and tossed him down and pinned him until the man tapped him. Austin smiled proudly at his victory as he got up and helped the man up.
"Nice moves," a voice said.
Austin spun around and saw April approaching him.
"Thanks," he said.
"I haven't seen you fight in a while," April said.
"Well... I got stabbed," Austin said.
"Ouch."
"Yeah but it was worth it. Me and Ally have been through a lot and I got stabbed for saving her life. It was worth it though," he said.
"So, you're here, beating the crap out of people because...?"
"Because I have nothing better to do," Austin joked as he drank from his water bottle.
"Can't you get a proper job? Like any normal person would do?" April asked.
"Where's the fun in that?" he asked as he set his bottle down.
"Alright then. Spar with me. Just like old times."
"Are you serious?"
"Dead serious," April said.
Austin agreed. The two stepped onto the mat and stood in their fighting stance. Austin looked at her as he analyzed her. He saw her feet move and he managed to block the kick. In a split second, it was followed by a right jab, which he also managed to block. Austin blocked every single attack and the two blondes were moving quickly. Dodging every attack. It was then, Austin had noticed a kink in her attack. He saw her throw a right jab. He dodged it and grabbed her arm and threw her over. She felt on her back and he easily pinned her until she tapped out. They pulled apart and he helped her up.
"You're as good as I remembered," April said.
"Thanks but I have my uncle to thank for that," he said.
"Why did he teach you how to fight?"
"He saw me punching a punching bag senselessly one day. I had no form and I was fueled by anger."
"When he thought me how to fight, he also thought me how to control that anger. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be here," Austin said.
"If you learnt how to fight then, how do you always beat me before?"
"That's easy. You're a girl and I'm stronger than you," Austin said.
April's jaw dropped as she punched him in the arm, "Jerk!"
Austin chuckled before he grabbed his bag and headed for the locker room.
Meanwhile, Ally had just finished her study session with her study group and was about to leave when she heard someone call her name. She turned and saw Asher walking towards her with his crutches.
"Hey," he greeted.
"Hey," she said with a smile.
"Where are you headed?"
"Home."
"Oh, you don't stay on campus?"
"No. I only take a few classes."
"Oh. Can I give you a lift?"
"No, it's fine. My boyfriend's coming to pick me up."
"Boyfriend? You uh... You have a boyfriend?"
"Yeah," Ally said.
"I see. Well, see you around, Ally," Asher said before walking away. Not long after Austin pulled up in front of the library and Ally entered the car.
"How's your study group?"
"It was good. How's gym?"
"Exhausting. I just want to lie in bed and cuddle with you," Austin pouted.
"Aw, you're so cute," Ally said before she gave him a chaste kiss on the lips before he drove off.
"You know, you should really consider moving in with me," Austin said.
A smile crept on Ally's face, "What?"
Austin pulled up in front of Ally's house and killed the engine.
"You heard me."
"Ally, you practically already live there. And Uncle Mal only stayed because he didn't want me to live alone. He has an apartment near the station."
"You seriously want me to move in with you?" Ally asked.
Austin took her hand and kissed her knuckles, "I want nothing more than to be with you. And moving in would be a bonus," he said.
"If this is too fast-"
She cut him off, "No. It's not." Ally leaned in and kissed his lips.
"Okay," she said simply.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
