<~Ally's POV:

My phone buzzed with a new text message.


It was from Cody.


MESSAGE: Hey babe, wanna hang out tonight, xoxo love you (;



I sigh. Why can't that be from Austin?



Wait why do I feel that way.



I need to find a way to get Austin out of my head.



I decided to reply to Cody.



MESSAGE: Sure, that'd be great. What time?



I press send without adding any xoxo's or any 'I love yous'



I sigh aloud, things are just so complicated.



This time at least Jillian can babysit though.

~~~~~~

<~Austin's POV:


I can't believe Ally didn't trust me to babysit Annie. I mean really Ally. That was my one and only chance to show her that I care for her.



I just hope I'll get another chance another time.

~~~~~~

<~Cody's POV:


"Are you sure your okay, babe?" I ask Ally.



She was just sadly picking at her food. She seemed so...unhappy.



"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired." She assured me as she took a bite of her food.



"Okay." I decided to just go with it, even though it was quite obvious that there was something wrong.



After dinner Ally and I sat at the beach, just enjoying the night together. But something told me Ally wasn't enjoying it as much as I was.



She was shivering so I wrapped my arm around her, pulling her closer to me. But it didn't seem to help.



She was such a beautiful, fragile girl I couldn't believe it.



It's like she doesn't trust anyone though. She has a good reason though. It's mostly Austin's fault. He left her. I don't see how he could have. Ally is beautiful. I just love her.



~~~~~~


<~Ally's POV:


I really wasn't enjoying this date. Actually I don't really think of it as a date. I think of Cody as a stranger.



It's just different. I used to look over and find that special blonde with his arm around me.


*~*~Flashback~*~*


"It's so beautiful out tonight." I say, leaning up against Austin.



"It is, but I'd rather look at you. Your way more beautiful than anything." Austin said with a smile. He kissed my forehead gently and wrapped his arm around me.



I smiled and nestled closer up against him, sharing his warmth.



"I love you so so much." Austin said giving me a kiss on the lips.



I kiss him back, "I love you too."


*~*~End Of Flashback~*~*


I sigh at the memory, the memory I missed dearly.


I felt the wind pick up, I was even colder now when suddenly I felt a raindrop on my nose, then it just began to pour.



"Wow you look really wet!" Cody exclaimed as he zipped up his jacket.



I stood there shivering in my strapless dress. He's no gentlemen.



Yup it's settled I'm breaking up with this guy.



Right after he drives me home...

~~~~~~

We arrived back at my house. It was late and I was tired but I have to dump this guy. Things just aren't working out between us.


"Hey, Cody." I paused as we both stepped out of the car into my driveway, "We need to talk." I finished.



Cody's face fell. He nervously stuffed his hands into his pockets. He nodded.



"Things...ah how should I say this." I sigh.



"You want to break up?" He asks, locking eyes with me.



I nod nervously, "Yeah...I just don't have any feelings for you...I'm sorry." I try to say as nicely and calmly as possible.



He sighed and nodded, "I understand."



"Thanks, Cody." I say before giving him a hug.



I smiled as he hugged me back and rubbed his hand up and down my spine.


After a long, comforting hug. We pulled away from each other. We waved goodbye and then Cody left.



I was kinda happy Cody was out of my life. I mean...now I can focus on other stuff. I don't have time for a boyfriend.



Thankfully Cody took it pretty well. He almost seemed excited to break up.



I don't blame him...who would ever date me.



I haven't had a boyfriend since I got pregnant...I'm not counting Cody as a boyfriend.




I guess no one wants a girl that's pregnant with someone else's baby. It makes sense though. Even after Annie was born as soon as I told someone about her they lost interest in me.



The only guy I could ever see falling for me is Austin. He's my last chance. It's like he left me but now he knows no one else wants me. I don't know.



I lay down on the couch. I was tired and depressed. I needed a break but there is no break for me.



I heard Annie's loud cries....absolutely no me time. No one knows how much work baby's are until they have one.



I pick Annie up out of her crib and give her a a gentle hug. She calmed down and fell asleep in my arms.



I sigh, it was quiet. No noise, no interruptions.



And then there was a knock on the door.
