Ally's POV

I woke up to a massive head ache, and heavy bags under my eyes.

I washed my face the best as I could, but I still looked horrible.

my hair was knotted and messy, but this is definitely not a day to wear it up with my face being the mess it is.

I brushed it out, and put my glasses on, hoping they'll cover up my bags.

I put on a random sweatshirt from my closet, and slipped on a pair of skinny jeans.

I slipped some shoes on, and went downstairs, knowing I have no time to eat because I woke up so late.

as I sleepily walked down the steps, my phone beeped.

austin

running late?

I sighed and replied yes.

a few seconds later, another text appeared.

austin

I can wait

his last text actually made me happy inside.

I gathered all my things, and walked out the door, and at the end of the street, it was no surprise for me to see austin, on his phone, waiting around.

when he saw me coming, he smiled, and put his phone in his pocket.

"good morning." he said, and I thought about how inaccurate that statement was for me.

"not good at all..." I muttered, and walked off.

"what's wrong ally?" he asked, as we walked off to school.

"not in the mood I guess." I said, and he nodded his head.

on my way to school, I was thinking about the very person walking beside me.

why does he care. why is he asking me what's wrong. why is is asking me what my biggest fear is.

I can't let him do that.

the minute I do...

my thoughts were interrupted. we were at school.

I walked off away from austin as fast as I could.

he can't follow me around today.

he can't be around me anymore.

it was harsh but it had to be done.

"hey, ally, what's u-"

"now's not the time austin..." I say, and walk off. I didn't even know where I was going.

but hearing his voice again...it was too late for me already.

Austin's POV

"now's not the time austin..." ally said to me, and I could feel something in me drop.

I wanted so bad to follow her, but something inside held me back.

I stood there at her locker. I didn't know what to do.

so I went back to my locker. my head was spinning.

"Austin!" I heard my name called, and ignored it.

not in the mood I guess...

ally's words rang in my head.
