Could it be t r u e[Austin]

[Alexandria Haynen]

<sup>Alex walked up to the main strip solemnly, a look of sorrow upon her face. She was supposed to meet Austin here to 'talk', she really did indeed need to speak to him, she wanted the truth of him and Demi out. She couldn't help it, Alex was in complete love with this boy, and he didn't know how deeply she cared, so of course finding out about him and Demi really had cut her to the bone.

Alex walked over to an empty bench and sat down, looking at the ground with her arms crossed across her chest, thinking over and over 'could it be true?'</sup>

[Austin Hinder]

Austin pulled up into the lot in his hummer, he kept wondering what was so important for Alex to talk to him about. He got out of the vehicle and saw Alex sititing on a bench, but something was different she didn't look happy, like she normally was. He walked over and sat down next to her "Hey Alex..." He smiled a weak half smile and then asked "What's wrong?"

[Alexandria Haynen]

^{"Um" Alex looked up slowly as Austin arrived. "Well, I just heard some things" Alex paused thinking about the whole ordeal and then just took a breath continuing on "Did you sleep with Demi?" she asked "Please be honest and tell me the truth, I saw you leave her dorm the other night...and she said she slept with you"}

[Austin Hinder]

Austin couldn't believe what he was being asked, he was now officially hating Demi, especially for dragging Alex into this, she didn't deserve this "No, Alex, I didn't" Austin answered "But we almost did, and I would've if she hadn't stopped me, and that's the complete truth" he regretted having to tell her this, but he knew he had to be honest.

[Alexandria Haynen]

^{Alex listened as Austin spoke and a tear ran down her cheek after he had completely answered. "How could you?" Tears started to stream down her cheeks. "I can't believe this, you and Demi?" Alex shook her head, tears continuing to fall.}

[Austin Hinder]

"Alex.." Austin put an arm around her shoulders "We're not together, we used to be, but never again" he looked at the tears on her face "Why do you care so much?"

[Alexandria Haynen]

^{Alex wiped a tear away and then said "Because Austin" another tear fell as she stood up "God, I can't believe I'm actually saying this right now, right here" she took a breath trying to be strong "Austin...I care more about you than you think" She looked over at him, making eye contact "That's why it hurt me so much hearing that, it hurt so bad, and it just sucks because I care so much, and you just don't know..that.." She stopped, more tears falling. "Austin...I...I love you"}

[Austin Hinder]

"What?" Austin stood up, "Alex..I can't believe I did this to you, how I hurt you so much over Demi" Austin placed his hand on the side of Alex's face, saying "I would've never done that if I knew how much you cared" Austin smiled a sweet, half-smile and said "Alex.." he leaned down, gently placing his lips upon hers, he pulled away a moment later and said "I love you too" looking into her eyes with a smile.

[Alexandria Haynen]

^{Suddenly the tears stopped falling as Austin kissed Alex. "Wow" she smiled, as Austin pulled away. "I love you" she smiled brightly "Yay! It feels so unbelievably good to say that, and know that you feel the same" She kept her smile and wrapped her arms around Austin's neck, pulling him down and kissing him again, full of passion.}

[Austin Hinder]

"I love you too baby" Austin smiled "I know" he moved his hands and placed one hand on her hip and then wrapped his other arm around her waist, holding Alex close against him while he kissed her passionately, it felt so right with Alex, she was the sweetest girl he had ever met and he was so in love with her.

[Alexandria Haynen]

^{Alex moved her hand resting it now softly on the back of Austin's head, She kissed him ever so passionately and then finally pulled away a few moments later, with a smile acroos her face. "wow" Alex then hugged Austin tightly, closing her eyes, her head resting just below his chest, with a smile on her face.}

[Austin Hinder]

"Yeah" Austin smiled at the lovely girl in front of him and wrapped his arms around her tightly, not tight enough to suffocate her, but you know. "I"m so glad we're together babe" Austin kissed the top of Alex's head and gently carressed her back. The cool breeze blowing, causing him to just hold on even tighter.
