Ahhh, yay! I wasn't really sure what to write for this one. So, as usual, it starts off on Sunday... here we go!

April 21st, 2013

"You're stupid Austin," he groaned in the waiting room of the Miami Emergency Health Care Clinic. They were going to go the hospital, but it was almost an hour away. The reason they were here was because when Ally woke up this morning, her knee was swollen and she could hardly stand, even with her father's help.

So Lester Dawson drove her to the Miami Emergency Health Care Clinic and Ally called Austin in the car, because people usually tell their best friend when they're going to an emergency health care clinic.

By the time Austin arrived, Ally and Lester had gone back to see a doctor, and the receptionist wouldn't let him go to find them, because she didn't believe he knew the Dawsons, but she did allow him to wait for them in the waiting room.

"You're an idiot, a dumb person," Austin sighed, "you took her on a stupid date, and she only said she had fun so she wouldn't hurt your feelings, do you realize there won't be a second date! Because you're so stupid!" Austin scolded himself in public, catching the attention of a young boy. He looked to be around the age of 5 or 6.

"Why are you yelling at yourself?" The young boy asked. "Because my friend twisted her knee yesterday on our date, and it's all my fault," Austin sighed.

"Wait," the boy crinkled his nose in confusion, "you said she was your friend, but why were you on a date?"

Austin laughed, "Well, my fellow man, I was trying to escape the friendzone, now, I'm sure you don't know what that is, well the friendzone is a terrible place. It's all about liking a girl, but she's your friend, and she probably just wants to be friends with you, so therefore, you are stuck in the godforsaken frienzone," Austin explained, "for your sake, I hope you never end up in the friendzone."

"Oh," the boy nodded, shaking his brown curls all over the place, he sat down on the chair beside Austin, "I'm Matthew Burkley Johnson," he stated proudly. Austin smiled, this kid was adorable.

"I'm Austin," he paused, he didn't want to tell this kid his middle name was Monica, so he skipped to last names, "Moon. Austin Moon."

"Austin Moon? Don't you have a middle name?" the boy asked curiously. Austin shrugged, "Um..."

"Austin! You made it!" Ally smiled, she and Lester were back. Ally was smiling and she was stretching her knee, but she seemed fine. Matthew looked at Austin, "Is that your friend?"

Austin nodded, "Yeah, my friend," he sighed. He hated the sound of that. Ally, as just his friend.

"She's pretty," Matthew commented. "Matt!" a woman on the other side of the room shouted for who Austin assumed was her son. Matthew turned in her direction, "I gotta go, nice to meet you Austin Moon!" Matthew grinned and ran to his mother.

"Who was that?" Ally asked, making her way over to him. "Um, a new friend of mine," Austin replied, smiling. "Oh," Ally mumbled.

April 22nd, 2013

Austin liked April, and April seemed to like him. Well, it liked him more than January, February, and March did, that's for sure. But at least in the previously mentioned months he didn't break Ally's knee. Or bruise it, because Ally told him it was just bruised.

When he walked into school that morning, he saw Ally standing at her locker with the biggest and goofiest smile on her face. Austin sighed, "It better be Trish or Dez who put that smile there," he hated the thought of some other guy making his Ally smile. No, that was Austin's job, and sometimes Trish and Dez.

He was about to approach her when he spotted Trish running towards her, the latina saw Austin and sped up.

Trish got to Ally first.

So Austin stayed within earshot, but pretended to read a poster on the wall about respecting your elders.

"What are you smiling about?" Trish asked her. "My date," Ally replied. Austin's heart almost jumped up his throat and out his mouth, had Ally gone on some other date or something? Because theirs didn't exactly go well.

"The one with Austin?" Trish questioned. Austin didn't hear a response, so he assmued Ally either nodded or shook her head.

"Was it fun?" Trish asked giddily.

"It was great, I mean, it rained and my phone has some serious water damage, but it was a lot of fun," Ally told her. Austin smiled, it sounded like their date alright, and for the record, his phone had water damage too. But Ally actually had fun?! She fell and bruised her knee!

Trish laughed, "It was fun, but you hurt your knee...?"

"TRISH!" A voice down the hall screamed the familiar name, Austin turned his head to see who was shouting for her. It was Dez, his head was peeking around the corner and he looked worried.

"What?!" She screamed in his direction. Austin face palmed, these two were so embaressing sometimes. Screaming at eachother across a crowded hallway, who does that?!

"I need help!" He squealed. Austin heard Trish sigh, and then he saw her short figure heading towards the ginger. Austin started to turn around so he could talk to Ally, but then he heard another voice interrupt.

"Hey, Ally," Austin threw up in his mouth a little bit when he heard to all-too-familar voice, it was Elliot.

"Hi, Elliot," Ally sighed.

"Look," Elliot pasued for a moment, "I'm taking you back, I understand that we had some differences, but breaking up with you was kind of a mistake."

"Um, but I broke up with you-"

"Shh, it's okay, Ally, you don't have to be ashamed of being dumped by me, but I've decided that I'm going to let you be my girlfriend again," Elliot finished. Austin clenched and unclenched his fists, he was going to LET her be his girlfriend again?

"You're going to let me be your girlfriend?" Ally sounded offended.

"Well yeah," Elliot replied, "I mean, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm a little higher on the popularity scale than you are, and me letting you be my girlfriend is kind of a big deal."

"Look, my rank in the social hierarchy of Marino High School means nothing to me, unlike some of the girls you've dated, I have self respect," Ally told him. Austin smiled, "That's my girl," he mumbled.

"Ally," Elliot sighed. But she wasn't done, "No, you didn't let me finish, I think it's degrading how you walk around here thinking you're better than everyone else. You're not. And it's a real shame that you treat girls like they're toys without feelings. Someday, you're going to mess with the wrong girl and she's going to make a fool out of you," Ally ranted, "But I'm not that girl, because I refuse to sink down to your level, because I am better than that, and I know I am, so I can just hope that I am there when you get a taste of your own medicine," she finished. Austin's smile just grew bigger. He and Trish were rubbing off on her.

"If you didn't want to be my girlfriend, all you had to do was say so," Elliot scoffed, walking away. Ally sighed. Austin turned around and quickly ran to her, he wasn't going to be interrupted again.

"Hey, Ally," his smile still hadn't disappeared.

"What are you grinning about?" She laughed, taking her history textbook out of her locker. Austin shrugged, "I'm just proud of you."

"Oh, you saw what happened?" She blushed. Austin nodded. "I feel like I was being mean," Ally shook her head.

"No way, Ally, you were just defending yourself. I'm proud of you, that jerk got what was coming to him," Austin assured her. The warning bell rang, signaling that they had one minute to get to class before they were counted tardy. "Don't you have a class to get to?" Austin asked his straight-A friend.

"Nope, I have study hall first period," Ally laughed. Austin nodded, "I gotta go," he rushed off in the direction of the Guidance Office. Okay, maybe he could be a few minutes late to Language Arts.

April 23rd, 2013

Austin bounced up and down in his seat the entire bus ride to school. He couldn't wait to get there. Even Dez, who was terribly unobservant, noticed that Austin's behavior was odd on this fine Tuesday morning.

As soon as Ms. Massie stopped the bus and opened the door, Austin ran down the aisle and up the concrete walkway that led up to the front doors.

He took his time at his locker, and scrolled through some twits on Tweeter to pass the time. They had 10 minutes to get their things ready for the day. And today, those 10 minutes seemed like hours. Austin sighed and looked up at the clock on the wall, they had one minute. He hadn't even heard the warning bell, the hallways were already clearing.

He shoved his phone in his back pocket, grabbed his bookbag, and ran for the library.

His suspicions were confirmed when he saw her sitting at a table in the corner of the quiet room. The library was empty except for Ally and the librarian Ms. Maddi, who was checking books in at her desk.

Austin happily skipped over to Ally, where she was copying questions from her chemistry book onto a piece of paper. Ally slowly looked up, "Austin, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, did I forget to mention that I switched my first period to study hall, and replaced Career Awareness for language arts? Oops," Austin shrugged and sat down.

Ally smiled, "What? You don't see me enough at lunch and in chemistry?"

Austin shook his head, "Lunch is too short, and in chemistry all we do is work, at least in study hall there are no assignments."

"Austin, study hall is for just that, studying," she reminded him. Austin shrugged again, "I don't see a teacher to make you study."

"See Austin, this is why you'll never be a straight-A student," Ally teased, "you don't need a teacher to make you study, you have the power to do it on your own, you know."

Austin shrugged, "Why do you stay here during study hall? You know we're allowed to leave, right? As long as we're back by second period of course."

"I'd perfer to stay here, where I am safe," Ally shrugged, turning her eyes back to her book. "Ally, you're safe with me, come on, let's just go to McDonalds, it can be our second date," Austin suggested.

Ally sighed, "I guess, but we better be back before second period starts," Ally closed up her textbook and slipped it into her green and blue shoulder bag.

"Oh! Can we play in the thingy!" Austin jumped up and down excitedly, he pushed the door open and ran into the empty play area. After all, it was 7 in the morning and people don't normally take their children to McDonalds this early.

"Austin! That entire plastic demon is completley unsanitary!" Ally called after him. Austin turned and looked at her through the windows, and shrugged.

Ally grabbed her coffee off the counter and tossed the money to the cashier, then she followed her crazy friend.

"Austin! Get out of the stupid tube!" Ally sighed, sitting down. Austin pressed his face against a plastic window and stuck his tongue out at her, "C'mon, Ally!" he pleaded.

"No way. I'm getting the flu by just sitting in here, I can feel it," Ally laughed. "Fine," He sighed, and crawled away from the window.

THUNK!

He had tripped over his own arm.

"Oh my gosh! Austin! Are you alright?!" Ally shouted, putting her coffee on the table.

"I am totally fine!" He assured her, "I just busted my lip, no biggie," Austin groaned. "Alright, I'm coming up," she pulled her black boots off and left them under the table. Then she headed for the plastic tree with the small stairs leading up in a spiral fashion. She found him curled up in a ball in the center of the maze of colorful plastic.

"Austin? Are you alright?" She crawled towards him and sat down. He removed his hands from his face, and he didn't lie when he said he'd busted his lip.

"Agh, I should've brought napkins," Ally sighed, she reached over to him and dabbed the blood with her sleeve. "Ally, you don't have to do that," he grabbed her wrist to stop her.

"Austin, you carried me when I hurt my knee, just let me wipe the blood off your face," Ally smiled.

"Als, if you don't mind me asking, how did you really feel about Elliot?" Austin questioned, sitting up.

"He was my first crush, you know that," Ally mumbled, wiping the last of the blood from his face. Austin sat silently, he could tell she wasn't done talking.

"I really liked him, at first, he treated me just like a princess, but then," Ally's voice cracked, "he kissed another girl," she wiped the tears from under her eyes before they made it past her lashes.

"Is that why you broke up with him?" Austin asked. Ally shook her head, "He promised he'd never do it again," she angrily wiped another tear away before it slipped down her face," but he did," she choked out, "twice." And she broke down.

"Ally, I'm sorry," Austin whispered. He wrapped his arms around her and she cried into his chest. "The worst part is," she sobbed, "I forgave him all three times," she gripped the sides of his plaid shirt in her balled up fists.

"I broke up with him because of you, Austin," she whispered.

"Can you move?" a little girl asked, she was coming in through the tunnel.

"Can't you see that we are TRYING to have a moment?!" Austin shouted. The little girl glared at them and turned around. Ally didn't notice they had been interrupted and she was still babbling. It was kind of awkward sitting there, knees to knees, when Austin was just trying to hold Ally in her time of need, but they both had to lean forward quite a bit to reach each-other.

"C'mon, Ally, let's go back to school, or home if you want," he suggested. "No, just... just school," she wiped the remaining tears from her face and started towards the slide. He followed.

"Wee," she sighed, jumping into the tube slide. "See you at the bottom," Austin smiled. She nodded, and let go of the sides, sending her down to the mats on the floor.

April 24th, 2013

Austin was begining to think that Ally had jinxed them when she said she was getting the flu by just being in the room. At 4 in the morning, Austin was in the bathroom throwing up the meatloaf his mother had made for dinner.

"Oh, sweetheart, I wish I could stay home and take care of you, but I have to go," Mimi sighed, brushing the hair from her little boy's face.

Yeah, because what if there's some sort of mattress related emergency, Austin thought angrily. His mom was never home anymore, and she couldn't take a single day off work to take care of him when he was sick? Sometimes he couldn't remember how it felt to have a mom. When she was home, she was like the perfect mother. The key word here is was.

After she got him back into bed and tucked him in, she kissed his forehead and went over her phone number with him. Although they both knew he already had it memorized. And she headed off to work.

He called Ally, it was 6 am and she would be getting up for school right now.

"Austin, what do you want?" she groaned. He sighed, "Are you sick too?"

"Yeah," she replied. "How do you think we got sick?" asked Austin. She let out a sigh, "Three words: McDonalds play area."

April 25th, 2013

Austin stared out the window. The clouds were rolling in pretty fast, he was betting that by the time the morning rolled around, the streets would be flooded. Miami had been unusually rainy this year.

He turned and grabbed his phone off of his desk, he dialed Dez's number.

"Hey, man!" Dez shouted excitedly. "How much do you wanna bet that the roads are going to be flooded by 6 am tomorrow?" Austin asked.

"Hm, 5 bucks," Dez replied. "WHO IS IT?!" a familiar voice screamed in the background.

"IT'S AUSTIN!" Dez yelled back.

"Um, dude, who is that?" Austin chuckled. Dez groaned, "It's Trish, we're on our way to Canada."

"What?!" Austin shouted.

"NOT CANADA! ORLANDA YOU DOOF!" Trish shouted from the background. "Whatever," Dez mumbled.

"Why are you on your way to Orlando?" Austin questioned. "Trish was begging me to take her to see her Aunt, you know, since they wouldn't let her get her license," Dez answered. Austin smiled, he remembered when Trish arrived at Sonic Boom stomping and throwing her jewlery and shoes everywhere. They refused to allow her to get her liscense because she got an attitude with the man that decided whether or not she got it.

"Oh," Austin nodded. "FOCUS ON THE ROAD YOU IDIOT!" Trish scolded. Dez sighed, "Gotta go, I'll talk to you later, man," he hung up.

"Austin! Go back to bed! School's been cancelled!" Mimi shouted from downstairs. Austin grinned, "Thanks, mom!"

He didn't go back to bed, he dialed Ally's number, hoping they could hang out. But he got her voicemail, he was shocked, if Trish was busy, who was Ally hanging out with? Let's all be honest, two of her friends are on their way to Orlando and Austin was at home, who else would she be with?

April 26th, 2013

Austin asked Ally where she had been when they got to chemistry. He hadn't found her in the library during study hall, and he didn't know where else to look.

"I was just... thinking about some things," she replied. That's all he got out of her about the topic. The rest of their conversation was about their semester project on how pianos produce noise.

April 27th, 2013

Apparently Ally was still busy, because she sounded rushed when she picked up the phone. Which left Austin wondering, who was she with?

Ally haunted his thoughts for the rest of the day.

Mm... what was Ally doing for these past 3 days? Oh questions... you always leave us wondering, now don't you?
