"Ally?" Austin asked knocking on Laura's door.
"Coming!" Ally said opening the door with mascara smeared all over her face.
"What happened?" Austin gasped not knowing about the crash.
"My parents are dead." Ally cried.
"What how?" Austin asked.
"I'm the only one who survived the crash." Ally bawled.
"I'm so sorry Alls." Austin said.
"The night before I told my dad I hated him. The day before his wedding." Ally said in shame.
"Ally. He knew you didn't mean it." Austin said.
"He grounded me. I'm serving my punishment right now." Ally said.
"Alls." Austin said.
"I'm trying to be the perfect daughter he's always wanted." Ally said.
"Ally. He can't control you anymore. Be who you wanna be." Austin said.
"Austin. Your making this harder on me." Ally cried.
"I'm sorry alls." Austin said pulling her into a big hug.
"It's fine." Ally said.
"I love you." Austin said before picking Ally up by her butt and kissing her.
"I love you too." Ally said before kissing Austin again.
"Trust me. Everything will be okay." Austin said setting Ally down.
"I don't know how to cook. I'll starve!" Ally said.
"You can eat with us. And you can have the guest room whenever you need it." Austin said.
"Thank you Austin. For being the best boyfriend in the world." Ally said.
"I'll come get you before we go to school. 5th grade tomorrow." Austin smiled.
"Yep." Ally said.
"My mom is making lunch. Come on!" Austin said closing the door and pulling Ally to Austin's house.
"Hi!" Mimi said.
"Hi." Ally said.
"I hear about the accident. I'm so sorry." Mimi said hugging Ally.
"I'm better now though." Ally said.
"Hey mom. Is it okay if Ally eats with us and stays and sleeps her when she's scared?" Austin asked.
"Of course she can!" Mimi smiled.
"When is dad coming home? he's been gone for 5 years." Austin asked.
"Right..." Mimi said before the door opened.
"I'm home!" Mark said.
"Now." Mimi said.
"Dad!" Austin said hugging Mark.
"Hey son. Who's this?" Mark asked referring to Ally.
"This is my girlfriend/best friend Ally Dawson. Her parents just died so we are gonna let her eat with us and stay over night if she wants to." Austin smiled.
"I'm Mark." Mark said shaking Ally's hand.
"Lunch time!" Mimi said outing Mac n cheese on the counter.
"Dig in." Austin smiled eating.
"Okay." Ally said forcing food into her mouth.
