It's my late night in the city with my dad. We're just having a take out with Austin, Michele and Katherine. I guess i'll have to start calling her step mom or something. We're all eating in the living, i'm sitting beside Austin, nope, he's not asked me out yet.

I've been thinking, before i moved to San Antonio i wanted to get enough money and move back here and buy an apartment in the city, but i'm not sure that what i want anymore.

Abigail: Dad?

Harry: yeah love?

Abigail: i've been thinking...

Harry: about what?

Abigail: well remember i said before i moved i wanted to get enough money and move back here and buy an apartment and you'd help and give me money?

Harry: yeah?

Abigail: well, i don't think that's what i want anymore

Harry: what so you don't want to move back to your hometown?

Abigail: i do but i'm happy in San Antonio, i have a reason to stay there and i don't want to leave mum again.

I could see in the corner of my eye when i said 'i have a reason to stay there', Austin had a smile written across his face.

Abigail: And even if i do come back i don't want you giving me finical help when you have a baby to look after now.  

Harry: honey, your still my daughter and i want you to be in your home town, where you belong, with me.

Abigail: but dad, i want to be in San Antonio

Katherine: Sweetie, she's right, we have to think about the baby now, not just give out hand outs

Michele: we might just leave now...

Michele pulled Austin up and they started to slowly walk towards the living room door. Then that's when my dad started shouting.

Harry: She's my daughter, i want her near me and not her mother!

Abigail: What's wrong with mum, at least she didn't kick me out!

Harry: i did not kick you out young lady!

Abigail: you did, that's why i had to move to San Antonio, but guess what dad? I'm glad you did!

Harry: Why are you glad i did? So you could meet some singer?

Abigail: No! I didn't exactly plan on meeting Austin but meeting Austin was the best thing that happened to me! He helped me move on from Noah and not be afraid anymore! 

Harry: i was there for you when all the Noah stuff happened Abigail! I told you everything would be alright and it was!

Abigail: I know but with Austin it was different!

Harry: Why?!

Abigail: Because he told me it's alright to love again!

Harry: Awh so you love him now do you?

Abigail: yes!

There was a silence. I can't believe i just said i loved Austin. Oh no! Austin and Michele were still in the room when i said it. He heard.

Austin: What?

Abigail: Austin i -

Austin: you love me?

He kept getting closer to me, with every word he said.

Harry: You actually love him?

Katherine: Babe, lets give them some space

Katherine, dad and Michele left the living room and went into the kitchen. Austin walked back and closed the door.

Abigail: Austin i can -

I was cut off by Austin crashing his lips onto mine. I felt sparks and fireworks. It felt amazing.

*Austin point of view*

Me and mum were close to the living room door. Abigail and her dad were fighting about her wanting to stay in San Antonio.

Abigail: Because he told me it's alright to love again!

Harry: Awh so you love him now do you?

Abigail: yes!

She loves me?! She actually feels the same! 

Austin: What?

Abigail: Austin i -

Austin: you love me?

I start walking closer to her. I want to tell her i feel the same.

Harry: You actually love him?

Katherine: Babe, lets give them some space

They all leave and it's just me and Abi. When there's out the door, i close it and start walking back to Abi.

Abigail: Austin i can - 

I cut her off by crashing my lips onto her soft pink lips. We moved in sync and i felt everything your meant to feel, the spark, the fireworks, like in the films.
