Hey guys! So this is a new story that I'm working on! I'm planning on making this a multichapter story. I'm pretty sure I've got the whole general idea for this story, but I would love for you guys to tell me what you think should happen. I'm open for suggestions! Read and Review please! Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!
ally is in the store going through the mail. Trish has been there with her cleaning up all morning. Austin walks in the store casually*
ALLY'S POV.
"Hey Ally! What's up?" says Austin, jumping up and sitting on the countertop as usual.
"Oh, nothin'" I say.
"So how's it goin?" says Austin.
"Good, just about to read through our mail. Not to be rude...but, what are you doing here?" I say.
"What?, I can't just come check up on my best friend when I'm lonely?" Austin said, making a fake puppy face.
"Dez isn't here" I said.
"I'm talking about you Ally" he said.
I don't know what it was, but something about what Austin said to me made me feel a little embarrassed and I knew I was blushing.
"Okay, I guess there's nothing wrong with that. Anyway back to the mail" I said, suddenly wanting to change the topic. As I was reading through the mail, one particular letter stood out. It was an invitation to M.U.N.Y.! The music university of New York! I had been accepted into my dream school!
"I just got accepted into MUNY!"
I said full of excitement.
"Cool! Isn't that the school of your dreams?" said Austin excitedly.
"Yes of course it is!" I said.
"Oh, by the way, I have awesome news too! My...OUR first album from Starr Records is coming out tomorrow!" said Austin.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe we both are having the best day ever! By the way, it is YOUR album, not ours." I said correcting him.
"No Ally, it's ours. I couldn't have ever made any sort of career without you. Remember?" said Austin.
"Thanks, and I wouldn't have anybody to write songs for if it wasn't for you" I said laughing. Then he pulled me into the biggest hug of my life. And longest. He just held me there in his arms for what seemed like forever. Then I got that weird feeling again, that odd feeling of embarrassment for no reason. Suddenly I was blushing again. Why did I feel so weird? I hug Austin all the time. But something about this hug was different. Then I realized what it was. This was the first time Austin hugged me FIRST. Finally he retreated from the hug, yet a small part of me wished that he hadnt. I saw Austin's face and I guess he realized how long he had been hugging me.
"Um...sorry. I guess I was a little carried away in the moment." he said apologetically. I was blushing again.
"No, your fine... But anyway, we should have a party for your album release!" I said. Finding myself nervously changing the subject again.
"Noo... We should have a party for both our accomplishments." he said.
"Okay!" I said.
My dad was walking down the steps behind us.
"So I overheard the great news you two!" my dad said. "And I think you guys deserve a decent place for a party. How does a block party on Miami Avenue sound?"
"Oh my gosh! Dad! That's amazing! But isn't that crazy expensive to book Miami Avenue? You don't need to do that for me and there's no reason to do it for Austin either." I said.
"Of course there is! You're my little girl! I should do anything and everything for you." said my dad.
"Okay, but why do it for me?" said Austin.
"Because you're my little Ally's best friend in the world. She would do anything for you, so I would too. I mean you guys spend so much time together I practically consider you one of the family anyway!" My dad said.
"Thanks" said Austin, blushing just a little bit.
After that my dad went to the mayor to have Miami Avenue reserved for us.
"Hey we should write a new song for me to sing at the release party!" Said Austin.
"Yeah! That's a great idea! Lets go to the practice room." I said.
We went up to the practice room to brainstorm a new song.
"Any ideas?" I said.
"We'll, it needs to be an upbeat partyin' kinda song. Ya know, one to get a big crowd up on their feet!" he said.
"Yeah! That's perfect!" I said.
We came up with some lyrics and turned it into a great brand new song. Austin was sitting on the piano bench next to me when he said,
"Another great song Ally. I could never do this without you."
And then he hugged me first again. Then for the first time, I started to feel butterflies in my stomach. Not the bad nervous kind but the pretty 'I have a crush on someone' butterflies. So I hugged back. But I don't like Austin that way, we are best friends and nothing more. But now that I think about it, I have been starting to feel more, I don't know, different around him. He stopped hugging me and said,
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, I love writing songs, especially for my best friend." I said nervously.
We stood up and I walked him out of the store. We looked awkwardly at each other for a minute, then he just said,
"Bye Ally, see ya tomorrow." And he walked out the door.
I don't know what it was, it was the craziest feeling in the world, but right there in that moment, I wanted him to kiss me. Or at least for him to give me one of those unusual bear hugs he's been giving me. But mainly I just didn't want him to leave. Because for the first REAL time, I felt that I was in love with Austin. I mean, I've noticed before that I've had little crushes on him. But they come and go. He is just always so nice to me that I can't tell if he has a crush on me or if he is just being his usual caring self. But this time all those little crushes came back to me at one time and I thought about all that we've been through, and I'm definitely in love with him.
AUSTIN'S POV
I came to visit Ally at the store. I was really bored and for some reason, she was the one I instinctively went to. I had just announced to Ally the good news of my album release. Then I found out that she got accepted into the school of her dreams. I was so happy for her! We decided to have a party for both our accomplishments. All in that moment after congratulating her I impulsively just hugged her. I have never hugged anyone. I mean, I have been hugged, but only by my family and Ally. But this was the first time I hugged somebody first. I never hug anybody because its just not my thing. I hate it when my family hugs me. It just embarrassing. But I've always let Ally hug me. I hug her back because she's my friend and it doesn't bother me. But this hug felt so good, I just couldn't let go. The excitement of the moment, the way Ally was hugging me back, I never wanted to let go. Her arms were around my neck, her head nestled into my shoulder, our bodies close together...what am I thinking?! I'm not in love with Ally? She's my best friend. That would jeopardize everything. But this was definitely a new feeling, and I liked it, and I liked her. I finally made myself let go of the best feeling I've ever had, feeling so embarrassed and blushing because of it. We went up to the practice room after that to work on the new song. We got the song down quicker than I thought. Ally is the best songwriter in the world I thought to myself. I told her I couldn't do anything without her. She thanked me and smiled. I wanted to hug her again. I wanted to feel that spark again. So I tried to hug her again, but less noticeably, but it looked like she was just as into the hug as before so I didn't hold back. I felt it again. But this time it was better. She was even closer to me than last time. So close that I felt her heart beat against my chest speed up when I hugged her tighter. This time she pulled away, I guess I lost track of time. She walked downstairs. What made me feel good is that she couldn't get that smile off her face. When we were standing in the doorway just looking at each other with nothing to say. There was one thing on my mind. I wanted to kiss her. I wanted to kiss her so bad. It would probably feel ten times better than that hug. But I don't want to be the one to ruin our friendship. So it took every ounce of willpower inside of me to hold back from picking her up spinning her around and giving her the best kiss of her life. So instead I just ended up saying bye see you tomorrow. But that's not what I wanted to do. One thing was certain. I was definitely in love with Ally, and I can't believe it took me this Long to figure that out.
So that's a wrap for chapter one! What do you guys think? Should I post chapter two? P.S check out my other stories! They may not be my best but I can't get better unless you guys tell me what you would like to see. KK I'm out, Bye!
