A/N: Yikes! So this is My second time submitting, I totally forgot the disclaimer! Grr... So I do not own Austin or Ally or even the show.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Ally quickly shot out of bed and looked around her room with a frantic expression. She let out a sigh as her eyes landed on her alarm clock, and she groaned inwardly. She had forgotten about the interview she had today, so unconsciously she had set her alarm for a later time. She ran her hand through her hair groaning. What the hell was she thinking? She had done everything right this time, and she was still screwing up. Ally groaned once more before getting up and started to get ready for her interview with The Helen Show. She sighed. Sometimes it was hard being famous. Ally made her way to the bathroom and press the intercom on the wall next to the bathroom.
"Agatha, I'll be down in a bit. Can you have my breakfast ready when I get down there?" Ally removed her hand from the intercom and waited.
"Ja, It vill be ready for you once you come dovn." The German maid answer.
"Thanks Agatha, you're the best!" Ally quickly made her way into the bathroom, maybe, just maybe she would make it to the studio in time for her interview.
Ally hastily parked her car at the entrance of studio 7, and made her way into the studio. She was instantly greeted by an angry Trish.
"Where the hell have you been?" The hot headed Latina screamed as she made her way towards her client. "Do you know how important this interview is? This could skyrocket your career! You could get amazing advertisement deals, with a little something on the side for your manager of course. How about movie deals, and a better life for Ja—"
"Sorry Trish. I forgot to put the alarm on." Ally said quickly cutting her manager off. "I was kind of up all night on the phone. I had some trouble to take care of in New York" Ally stated as she made her way to her dressing room. "Anyways, what is on the agenda for today? I want work over with as soon as possible." Trish followed closely behind Ally with an all knowing smirk.
"Want to get back to New York as soon as possible, huh?" Ally sighed as she shot her manager a look. Trish is a great friend, but sometimes she couldn't hold a secret.
"Yeah." Ally said while nodding her head. "Now tell me what is going on as I get dressed and my makeup done." Ally told her manager as she signaled to an empty seat.
"Well not much today, yesterday was the hard day, so all that's left is this interview, an autograph signing, and a meeting with Conner Fobs. Then you're on a plane back to New York." Trish finished as she began to help herself to Ally's gift basket. There was a knock on the door, and Trish yelled "enter!" A stage hand appeared in a moment.
"Mrs. Dawson, you're on in ten. Please make your way to the stage entrance." Ally nodded to the stage hand and got up.
"See you later Trish." Ally made her way to the stage entrance, and froze for a split second hearing the cheers of the audience. Although it had been years since Ally had stage fright, it still caused her body chills when she stood in front of an audience. She internally sighed, and shook her head. This was not the time for Allison Marie Dawson to feel fear, in six hours she would be on a plane heading home to Ja—
"Now I would love to introduce you to another upcoming star, Ally Dawson!" As Ally made her way out on stage, she heard the audience erupt in cheers. She scanned her surroundings, and instantly her eyes fell unto a familiar caramel pair. Her body instantly became rigid, she was going to kill Trish after this interview. She kept her calm outside demeanor as she hugged Helen, and went to sit down in the seat next to a smirking blonde. "Ally! I'm so glad you accepted my invitation to come on the show! It has been a while since I last saw you at the Grammy's. Rumor has it that you spend most of your time in New York. Is it true?" Helen instantly began to question Ally.
"No, the pleasure is all mine. I'm just glad to see you again, and yes I do spend most of my time in New York. I just LOVE the city." Ally replied with a smile.
"So you aren't in the city to find someone special? Or does your current boyfriend live up there?" Helen said with a glint in her eye.
"No, sadly there isn't anyone special in my life just yet. Anyways, I see that I'm not your only guest here today." Ally politely responded signaling to the patient blonde sitting next to her.
"Oh. My. Gosh. How could I forget? Where are my manners? Anyways, Ally I would like to introduce you to Austin Moon. Have you guys ever met?" Helen said while exaggerating her hand movements.
"Yeah Helen, we have met a couple of times." Austin answered with a cool voice. Ally nodded her head in agreement.
"Well then, how is your love life Austin? I never got the chance to ask you sooner." Helen asked Austin as she leaned back into her chair.
"Well since you asked Helen, my longtime girlfriend, Cassidy Kane, and I just got engaged a week ago." Austin said with a smile. "And, this is the first time that we are announcing it publicly." A blush slowly crept up Austin's face.
"Awww." Helen and the crowd both sighed simultaneously. Ally just smiled her million dollar smile.
"Well congratulations Austin! That is really great news." Austin slowly raised his head to meet the gaze of the brunette, but she quickly avoided his look.
"Moving on, Ally, I hear that you have a new album out along with a new single to be released. Can you spoil at all?" Helen questioned while leaning forward in her seat.
"Well, since you asked Helen, yes I can. If you like I can perform the song right now, and then I can tell you the story behind the song." Ally smiled and the crowd broke out into a cheer.
"Well Ally, I think you heard the audience answer for me, I would love that, but sadly we have to wait until after this commercial break." Helen said with a glint in her eye as the audience groaned. Ally stood up and made her way to the piano on the side of the stage. She made herself comfortable, and practiced a bit until she got the signal that they would begin in a few seconds.
"Okay…3…2…1… and we're on." The director signaled Helen to begin.
"And we're back. Today we have special guest stars, singers, Austin Moon and Ally Dawson. Now, before the break, Ally said that she was going to perform her new single for us. So without further ado, here is Ally Dawson with 'The One that Got Away.'" Helen said as the audience began to cheer. Ally began by playing the intro, soon her melodious voice filled the studio.
Summer after high school when we first met
We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents' liquor
And climb to the roof
Talk about our future
Like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you
In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on (Whoa)
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the Blues
It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse
But in another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
The one that got away
[Bridge:]
All this money can't buy me a time machine (Nooooo)
Can't replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)
I should've told you what you meant to me (Whoa)
'Cause now I pay the price
In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
There was a second of silence, before the audience broke out into an applause. Ally got up, bowed, and made her way back towards Helen and Austin. As she took her seat, Helen congratulated her and complimented the song.
"That was great and all, but I have to know the story behind that song." Helen said as Ally became comfortable.
"Well," Ally began. "The summer after my high school graduation was really depressing. My boyfriend at that time broke off our relationship because of his future. He left in the summer, and I became really depressed. So on the first weekend of summer break, I decided to wander around the city, so I turned off my phone and just walked all over Miami. It was the best thing that I had ever done, the city was so amazing. Anyways, I ended up on this street fair on the other side of Miami, and I met this street artist. Well, actually he met me, he ran into me and dropped all of his supplies, and as I was helping him pick up his supplies I saw one of his sketch books. In it there was a picture of me!"
"So, wait was he like stalking you?" Helen said with awe in her voice.
Ally laughed. "I thought that at first, but no. He apologized and told me that he was drawing a bunch of people and I just caught his eye. Besides, his work was really good, so I forgave him." Ally looked down at her hands before she continued. "I ended up going to that street fair the next weekend in hopes of seeing him again."
"So did you have a crush on him or something?" Austin asked seeming genuinely intrigued.
"Umm… no. Not at first at least, we just became good friends. We actually bonded over our exes. We had just both been dumped. But it was different for him, about three weeks after meeting me he confessed that he loved me. I was just so heartbroken over my previous boyfriend that I never gave him the chance." Ally's eyes began to fill with tears. "Then around the end of summer break, I got a call from his parents at 5:00 in the morning. James, that was the artist name, was coming home from picking up a drunk friend, when the friend decided to have some fun and try to take the steering wheel away from James. They ended up driving onto an oncoming semi-truck. He was killed on impact. The sad thing about it though; I never got a chance to tell him how I felt." Ally sighed as she wiped a few tears away. The audience had gone silent. "So that's why I wrote this song. It's in memory of James, one of the greatest guys that I have ever known." Ally turned towards Helen who was wiping tears away from her eyes.
"That was beautiful. So tell me, how did you truly feel about him?" Helen asked as she was handed a Kleenex.
"Honestly Helen, I fell in love with him. And just like the song says, in another life I would love to be his girl." Ally smiled as she gripped Helen's hand.
"Do you have any of his artwork with you?" Ally turned around to face a sad looking Austin.
"Yes I do actually." Ally said as she pulled out her phone. "He made me this case the day before he died." Ally handed her phone to Austin, who admired the case. It was a white case surrounded with stars and black spray paint. On the back in white cursive lettering it read: "To Ally, My Angel." And next to that was a cartoon picture of the brunette sitting down with wings reaching for the stars. Austin handed the phone back to Ally who in turn held it up so the camera could get a close up. "He always told me to follow my dreams, and that no matter where he was, he would always be my number one fan." Ally put her phone back into the pocket of her jeans, and turned her gaze to Helen.
"Well, wherever James is, I promise you that he is smiling at you. Sadly," Helen began as she faced the audience and cameras, "This is all the time we have for today. Ally Dawson's new single will be released this Thursday, along with Austin Moon's new album Heartthrob. My name is Helen, and I hope you tune in next time to watch the Helen show." Music began to play and Helen got up to do a silly dance number, and then the director signaled that it was over. Ally rose up from her seat and gave Helen a hug.
"Thank you again Ally, you don't know how much this means to me." Helen said as she let go of Ally.
"Anytime Helen, just call and I'll make it my mission to show up." Ally smiled as she pulled away from the hug. Ally thanked Helen once more before turning around to leave, as she turned she ran smack into a certain rock star's chest.
"Oh, sorry Austin. I didn't see you there." Ally quickly took a step back, and faced the blonde hunk.
"It's okay Ally, I just wanted to tell you that you did a great job with the song and all." Austin said as he nervously rubbed the back of his neck. Ally chuckled to herself, some things just never changed when it came to this boy.
"Thank you Austin, now if you'll excuse me, I have to go. I have a schedule to keep if I want to be in New York by today." Ally answered coolly, as she made her way past Austin and towards an awaiting Trish.
"Ally, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that Austin was going to be here today, if I did than I wouldn't have agreed to the interview in the first place. Please forgive me Ally." Ally held up her hand to stop her manager.
"It's okay Trish. I'm not angry. Let's just finish the rest of this day, then I'll head back to New York." Ally gave her manager a small smile. "Besides, I'm really bummed about having to mention James." Trish smiled back, seeing straight through her friend's lie. She knew what was honestly bugging Ally, and it had to do with a certain blonde haired, brown eyed, ex-boyfriend being newly engaged.
"Sure thing, if we leave now we'll be able to make it to the airport by noon. Conner canceled the fan signing, after this performance he thinks you deserve a break. After all, starting next week you'll be here in L.A. until your tour starts in a month. Oh, did I mention that Dez and I are coming with you? We miss a certain someone back in New York, and I'm sure you do too." Trish winked at her best friend as she pulled her out of the studio. Unknown to them that the certain ex-boyfriend had heard the whole conversation.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed it. Please review! Oh, the song is The One that Got Away by Katy Perry. I do not own that either.
