"So this is my room, also the place you will be tutoring me." I explain to Brett.

"Okay, awesome." He sets his bag down on the floor. "Oh, before I forget, we have the group assignment that is due tomorrow."

"Friday Assignment! Right! Thanks for reminding me. We can finish that after you're done tutoring me."

"Okay, good. So, what are we working on tonight."

"Just some complicated homework like usual."

"Funny."

"No, no, no. Math is very serious." I joke. He laughs.

We begin working on some of my homework. He helped me a bit. It was just like when Austin was tutoring me.

Ugh, Austin.

How could he just move on from me after everything that happened to us? We loved each other. I never planned that one day I'd lose him. And now I did, and I regret ever breaking up with him. We could have a long distant relationship. I know I said that those things never worked out but my mom was right, we would have found a way. And now I lost him to Serenity, I nice girl who gets better grades than me. Long blonde hair, blue eyes, long tan legs, and a white smile. The perfect girl. How could I ever be compared to that? That's the thing, I would never in a million years be compared to someone as perfect as Serenity Rae.

Later on that night, Brett left. We had finished that assignment that was due. It was just my mother and I in the house. I had no idea what to do now. I was so not over Austin, but he was obviously over me.

The scary thing is, as much as I try, I don't think I will ever be able to get over Austin. I love him too much. And if that makes me selfish, then I guess I am, I'm too selfish to give up the one person who will only understand me.

Austin Moon understands me in ways that I can't explain.

I go to school the next day and head straight to my locker. I turn my head to see Austin walking down the hallway with, her. Serenity Rae. My competition. I know it's stupid to think of her as my competition but I am. She has the one thing that I want more than anything in this world, Austin Moon.

I found myself staring so I turned around and grabbed my books. I turn around and see Brett standing there. I drop my books all over the floor. "Oh, my Gosh!"

He laughs, "Sorry." He bends down to help me pick up my books.

"It's okay. Thanks."

After he finished picking up all my books and handing them to me, he gives me a genuine smile. Damn, that smile could kill. "Hey, I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date tonight?"

"A date?" I was caught off guard. I had no idea that Brett liked me. Well, I was too caught up in my feelings with Austin to even notice anything around me. There would have been no idea of me noticing Brett's growing affection towards me.

I found myself thinking too long in my head that I began to stare at Brett making a total fool out of myself.

"A causal no would have sufficed" He laughed.

"Oh, oh, my God! I am so sorry. I kind of just dazed out there for a moment." I'm so dumb sometimes.

He brushes it off, "It's fine." And awkward silence fell between the two of us. "So…?"

"Oh." I placed a piece of hair behind my ear. "Yes. I would love that."

I think a hot date with a British boy will help with my feelings for Austin. There is no point on holding onto Austin anymore. He is obviously happy with Serenity, well, that's what it looked like from my view of Austin's balcony.

The school bell rang and I headed to class. Austin sat to the right of me while Brett sat to the left of me. I found my cheeks heating up. Why does this have to happen to me?

Sometimes I regret moving back here.

My mom walked into my room while I was getting ready for my date. She sat on my bed staring at some of the old photos I had of Austin and I. "Why do you have those out?"

"I was trying to find a good place to store them." I answered putting on some blush.

"Store them?"

"I don't need them."

"Why?"

I turn around on my chair, "I am going on a date with a guy named Brett. Not Austin. I need to move on from him."

"Oh. Well, what do you plan on doing with these photos? You're not going to burn them are you?"

I laugh, "Of course not. I've had a lot of good memories with Austin. Even if most were of us fighting. Maybe Austin and I are better off fighting and being enemies."

"Ally."

"What? It's what we know best."

"Ally, honey." She pats the empty spot on my bed for me to come sit. I read her instructions and sit down next to her with a sigh. "Ally, I know what you are doing."

"What?"

"You still love Austin. You're trying to fool yourself into thinking you don't have feelings for Austin by agreeing to go on this date with a guy you probably have no chemistry with. I know what you feel for Austin, Ally. I've seen it in the way you look at him. You have this sparkle in your eye. It's hope, passion, peace, warmth. Everything love could describe and more. The thing about love is that it comes in many shapes and forms. I know what this looks like, I used to look at your dad that way. I see it in the way you look at him, he looks at you that way too."

"Really?" I asked with hope. But my mind turned upside down, "But he has a girlfriend."

"Did you ever think that the reason he is with another girl is to get his mind off of you?"

"I don't know, Mom."

"But I do." She places her hands on my shoulders and looks my straight in the eye. "I know that Austin loves you."

"I'm just scared about what might happen."

"What do you mean?"

"Look what happened to you and dad."

"But I fell in love with the wrong man and I also made bad decisions. And I also didn't have a mother to give me the advice that I am giving you right now."

"And what is that?"

"I can't tell you what to do. But all I can say is, follow your heart. It'll take you places you'd never know existed."

And with that, she got up and left my room leaving me alone in my room.

Suddenly I heard a knock at the door.

No One's POV

Penny walked over to the door and opened it to see Brett standing in the doorway with a bouquet of flowers. "Hello, Ms. Dawson. I'm here for Ally's and I's date." He says with a hopeful smile on his face.

"I'll go get her." She says with a nervous smile. She walks back upstairs and walked over to Ally's room. She opened the door that had a small crack in it to see that no one was inside. She glanced at the window to see the wind flowing through the green curtains. Ally's favorite colour. Ally's mother smiled as she knew that her daughter had done the right thing.

Austin's POV

I was laying down on the sandy beach looking out at the water. The moon was bright as it could be and the stars were glimmering. I loved going out to the beach by myself because it was the most peaceful place besides the abandoned building that I could collect my thoughts.

As I laid down with my arms crossed behind my head I noticed a shadow coming from my right side. I turned around to see a figure say my name softly, "Austin." There was only one person in the entire world who would know that I am here.

I saw her dress. It was red. It cascaded down her petite body perfectly. There was a slit on the left side of her leg so you could see her leg when she stepped forward. Her long brown curly hair that still touched her hips. It flowed through the small breeze caused by the waves. She was holding her sandaled heels in her right hand. They had red straps and cork soles. I saw the sand at the bottom of her feel get trapped between her tiny toes. She was wearing bright red lipstick and light eyeshadow.

I stood up in awe. I had no idea what to say to the beautiful woman who stood before me. She looked so gorgeous in the moonlight. I could just take a picture. I'll have to paint a picture in my head I guess.

"Who are you looking so gorgeous for on this peaceful night?" I asked.

"I was supposed to be on a date. But I didn't find any point of going." She softly yelled through the breeze. We were rather distant from each other.

"And why is that?" I had a confused look on my face.

"I realized something."

"Oh?"

She started walking slowly towards my direction. "I know you're not happy with Serenity."

"How do you know that?"

"Because I know you Austin. I know you more than your own father knows you. I know you more than it was humanly possible to know someone. I was thinking, why don't I go on a date with this guy? He's nice, smart, sweet, genuine"

"So, why are you here and not with him?"

"Because he's not you. You're all those things and more. The thing is, you're not what every girl wants. You're what I want."

I grabbed her face and kissed her lips. I wrapped my arms around her and pressed our bodies against each other. Our lips moved perfectly in sync. This magical moment lasted forever. After spreading our lips apart I swore I saw fireworks. "I love you Ally Dawson. I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

"So, do I."

I decided to go for it. My heart was pounding and my body was starting to sweat. I got down on one knee in the sand and a swear Ally was about to pass out there for a second. "I know we have had our ups and our downs. I know I was a terrible person when we met. We also didn't have the best first impressions. Hell, we didn't even have the best second or third impressions." She started to laugh through the tears streaming down her face. "I wasn't the best person when we first met. I had lost my way. But when you came into my life, you made me know what it was like to be able to love again. You brought the best out in me. And I couldn't ask for a better person to spend the rest of my life with. So, after this boring speech that I didn't have prepared at all, Ally Marie Dawson, my potato..."Ally laughed again as she held one of her hands up to her face since Austin was holding the other, "Will you marry me?"

"Yes!" She through her hands around him and they shared a passionate kiss.

8 Decades Later… (80 years)

"Dear Austin Moon, it's you're wife, Ally Moon. We did it, Austin. We might have hated each other when we first met. Had our ups and our down. Hey, that was in your proposal speech. I still can recite it forwards and backwards. That day was one of the best days of my life. Aside from having Amy and Aaron. But I knew what I had signed up for when I wanted to be your friend. I never planned to be the love of your life. I never planned you'd be mine too. One day we'll meet again but for now, I have to live the rest of my life. Our children and grandchildren take care of me. They are still scared of the words you once told them, "If you dare put Ally and I in a home, I will beat you with my cane!" I miss that sense of humor you magically always brought with you everywhere you walked. You're great grandchildren really wanted to meet you. Sadly they couldn't. One day you'll meet, but not for a very long time. Austin Moon, such a fascinating name it is and for the rest of my life, everyday, I will be thinking of such name and how it has impacted my life in which words can not describe. And even beyond the grave, seize to surprise me. I think the 75 years we spend wedded were probably the most astonishing and incredible years of my life. Austin Moon will definitely go down in my books as the most caring father and loving husband to ever walk the face of this Earth. You will definitely leave a mark on this Earth and will be greatly remembered."
