Just want to say, I am on a roll! I have posted a new chapter to one of my stories plus started this one and another! But anyways, I know this idea has been done so many times but I really wanted to write my own so hope you like it! Also, if you're a fan of R5, go check out my new story, 'Riker's Girl'!
Ally POV
Beep-beep!
I groggily open my eyes and life my head off my pillow to see my phone lit up with a new text message. I look at the clock-7:30. It is way too early for a Saturday. I lay my head back down and pull the covers over my head, deciding the text can wait until later.
Beep-beep!
"Ugh!" I groan and throw the covers off, sitting up. I grab my phone off the nightstand and unplug the charger before opening the messages. They are both from Austin.
Rise and shine Ally-gator! Let's go get breakfast!
Wakey-wakey, eggs and bakey! C'mon I'm starving!
I let out a sigh. I don't really want to get up this early but I know I shouldn't skip out since we were both so busy that these moments didn't happen often. We had been together for almost three years now and both of our careers were going great, which I was happy about, but it didn't leave much time for being a couple.
Give me about twenty minutes and I'll be ready.
I wait a moment for him to send back an 'Ok' before tossing the phone down and getting up. I grab some clothes, dark skinny jeans and my favorite yellow top, and head to the bathroom for a quick shower. I start the water and grab a towel from the cabinet, laying it on the sink.
I am getting ready to slip off my pajama bottoms when a weird feeling hits in the pit of my stomach. I pause for a moment and then dive to my knees in front of the toilet, emptying the contents of my stomach. Once I'm sure I'm done, I lean over against the wall, closing my eyes. I guess this is what I get for eating three-day-old Chinese food for dinner last night.
I groan and get to my feet. I step over to the sink and quickly brush my teeth before stripping and getting in the shower. I try to make it as quick as possible but I can't help standing under the hot water a little longer.
I finally force myself to step out of the shower and get dressed. I didn't wash my hair but it is still damp so I put it in a side braid. I am just finishing applying my make-up when I hear my front door open.
"Ally?" I can hear Austin's footstep coming down the hall.
"Coming!" I answer.
I slip on a pair of brown sandals and open my bedroom door to find Austin standing outside it. He's dressed in light colored jeans, a deep blue v-neck, matching high-tops and a black leather jacket. He looks me over and smiles.
"You look nice."
I smile back, "You don't look bad yourself."
He offers me his arm, "Are you ready to go?"
I link my arm through his, "Yep."
I let him lead me down the hallway to the front room, grabbing my purse on our way through the door. He doesn't release my arm until we make it to his car, a yellow Corvette. He opens my door as I slide in and then runs around to get in the driver's seat.
"So, where are we going?" I ask.
He backs out of the driveway, "Is Ihop okay?"
I nod, "Sure."
I'm not surprised he chose that place; it's one of his favorites. I smile as he reaches over to take my hand. He glances over, smiling back. I lean over to turn on the radio and catch sight of the speedometer. He's going almost 100 miles per hour.
"Austin, are you trying to get us killed? Slow down!"
He rolls his eyes but lets off the gas, "Calm down Als, we were perfectly fine."
"Yeah, until something runs in front of you or a curve pops up."
"You're such a party pooper."
"There is nothing wrong with safe driving. Honestly, you could learn a thing or two from me."
"Like how to drive slower than snails?" He is trying not to laugh.
I narrow my eyes but say nothing. We have this sort-of-argument all the time so I know there's no point in continuing. He squeezes my hand and I lean over to rest my head on his shoulder.
We sit in silence for a little bit, just listening to the radio. All of a sudden he starts singing at the top of his lungs to some song that just came on, causing me to jump. He laughs but keeps on singing. I shake my head but can't help smiling.
We finally make it to the restaurant about two off-key songs later. Austin kills the engine and jumps out to run around and open my door. As soon as I am out he takes my hand, pulling me towards the door.
We get a table and place our orders. I get chocolate chip pancakes and Austin, of course, orders the endless pancakes.
"So, what is on your schedule for today?" Austin asks, reaching across the table to take my hands in his.
"I have to help out at Sonic Boom for a couple hours and then I've got to work on both my new song and yours. What about you?" I assume he'll probably have rehearsal or something.
"I actually managed to get the whole day off and I was hoping we could spend it together…" He looks at me, hopeful.
Surprised, I say, "Really?"
He nods, "Yeah, but if you're busy, we can try for another day."
"No, no, of course not." I know it could be a while before he has another whole day off, "I'll call my dad when we leave here and see if he can get someone to cover for me."
"What about the songs you have to work on?"
"We can work on them together." I smile, "Our songs are always better when we write them together, anyway."
He smiles back, "Definitely."
I squeeze his hands, "So, did you have anything in mind for today?"
"Of course. I thought after this, we could go to that new music museum that just opened up, and then we can spend the afternoon on the beach and have a picnic, then we could go catch an early movie and have dinner, and, finally, to end the evening, go to the park and watch the stars…and listen to the band that's playing there." He is almost out of breath when he finishes.
I laugh, "Wow, you've really put some thought into this."
He shrugs, "I just want today to be perfect. We hardly ever get to spend more than a couple hours together anymore."
"I know. I'm glad our careers are doing so well, but I really wish we weren't so busy all the time."
He nods, "Me too…which is why I talked to Trish."
I raise my eyebrows, "I'm not sure I follow…"
"Well, you know how I'm leaving for that big tour in a couple weeks?"
My heart sinks like it does every time he mentions that tour. It's a world tour so he is going to be gone for a while. I don't say anything though and just nod my head.
"I talked to Trish, and she talked to Ronnie Ramon, and, well," a huge grin spreads across his face, "You're going on tour with me!"
My eyes widen and my jaw drops, "Seriously?!"
He nods, "Yep! That's kind of the other reason I planned today, so we could celebrate."
My grin is almost as big as his, "Austin, this is great! A little short notice, but still great."
"It took some time and a little convincing to get Ronnie to go for it…I have to perform at his niece's wedding."
I laugh and lean over the table to hug him, almost knocking over my glass. We pull apart just as our food comes.
Austin manages to devour about five stacks of pancakes before we finally leave. We spend the rest of our day doing everything he had planned. By the time I get home it is almost two in the morning.
Austin walks me to my door, his arm around me, "So, did you have fun today?"
I smile, leaning into him, "Of course. I always have an amazing time when I'm with you."
We reach my door then and his other goes around me, pulling me close, he smiles down at me, "I love you, Ally Dawson."
I slip my arms around him, "I love you too, Austin Moon."
He kisses me then, and I kiss him back. I'm not sure how long we stay like this but when we break apart we are both breathless.
"You know, it's awful late to be driving all the way across town…maybe…you should stay here tonight?" I bite my lip and slip my hands up to rest on his chest.
He smiles, "I think you might be right."
I stretch up and kiss him again before turning and pulling out of his arms to unlock the door.
He follows me inside, "I still have clothes here, right? I have to be at the studio early tomorrow so I'll probably just leave from here."
I toss my purse down and kick of my shoes, "Last I checked you did."
He nods, "Okay, good."
Before I can register what is happening, he has scooped me up in his arms and is carrying me down the hall to the bedroom. I smile and a laugh escapes my lips. Things couldn't be better.
***Next Morning***
I wake up the next morning to the other side of the bed empty. I let out a sigh as I pick up the note he left on the pillow.
Ally-gator, I didn't want to wake you but I wanted to tell you I love you and I'll call you when I get a break. Love, Austin.
I smile. It's not much but I still love it. I lean over the side of the bed and grab the shoebox from underneath. I drop the note inside with all the others and put the box back. Looking around the room, I decide to get dressed and start getting some things together for tour. I only had two weeks and there was a lot to get done.
I throw on a pair of sweats and one of Austin's t-shirts that he left. I grab a notebook and head to the bathroom to start writing down things I'll need. I look through my medicine cabinet before kneeling down to look in the cabinet under the sink. I frown when I notice an unopened box of tampons. I start mentally calculating in my head, thinking they should have been opened by now.
I gasp when I realize I am at least three weeks late. I shake my head, there's no way it's been that long. I count again, getting the same answer. Then I remember yesterday morning and am hit with realization. I immediately start rummaging through the cabinet, throwing things aside. I finally find what I'm looking for and snatch it, ripping open the box.
A couple months ago, Trish had a pregnancy scare and came over with a bunch of tests to take here, and one of them had gotten left behind. I quickly took the test and laid on the counter, hoping my results were the same as hers.
I pace the bathroom, constantly checking my watch. This is the longest five minutes of my life. Finally, time is up and I close my eyes as I pick up the test.
"One…two…three…" I force my eyes open on three.
My heart sinks. Two pink lines. I'm pregnant.
"Oh no…no no no no. This can't be happening." I drop the test and tangle my hands in my hair.
I sink down onto the floor. What about the tour? My career? What about Austin? I know he would never leave me, but that would mean giving up his career and I could never let him do that. I put my head in my hands. I can't imagine life without him, but I can't bring us both down.
The other options pop into my head but I quickly dismiss them. Abortion is way out of the question and I don't think I could handle giving up my baby. I'm going to keep it and raise it, no question.
That doesn't help with the Austin situation, though. I know he will want to be there. Maybe there's a way for this to work while keeping his career safe? I can't imagine how.
Tears fill my eyes, "What am I going to do?" The tears fall as I think about my choices; do I tell him and let the chips fall where they may…or should I leave and let him live his dream?
Well, there it is! Hope you guys liked it! Leave me some reviews! Thanks for reading!
