I'm Ally Dawson, as most of you know. I'm twenty two years old now and Team Austin and Team Ally is still together and we all moved to New York City when I turned eighteen, because I'm the youngest. We all work together and get along as always. Trish and Dez started dating along the way and got married a little over a year ago. Don't ask how... But they are a very cute couple.
As for Austin and I, we've been dating since we were fourteen, but it's been a secret. We just thought that if it didn't work, we'd go back to normal and no one would ever know that we dated. Since it did work out very well without everyone knowing about our relationship, we would keep it that way because we were perfect the way we are and we didn't need anyone interfering.
We moved in together when Trish and Dez got married because Trish and I lived together in an apartment and Austin and Dez lived together in the apartment right across from Trish and I. When they told us they wanted to move in with one another, I was sad because I was going to miss Trish but ecstatic because Austin and I could live with each other without anyone being suspicious of our relationship. Trish and Austin just swapped rooms. Austin and I been together for eight years but we still haven't done it, if you know what I mean. I think it will come soon, but both of us think it will our affect our relationship.
Austin's career soared as well as mine, we still write our own songs and Jimmy Starr not only manages Austin, but me as well. Most of our concerts are half of his songs, half of mine and usually a duet or two at the end. I love that our concerts are together because it's easier and more fun that way.
Dez got a career as a film director and he is very serious about his job but he is still the same crazy old Dez we all know and love. He still directs Austin's music videos and they even convinced me to make a few videos too. Trish still gets a new job almost everyday, how there are still jobs she hasn't had yet don't ask me, but she is still the manager of Team Austin and Ally. On my days off, I give private music lessons to children and so does Austin. I'm off on Mondays and Wednesdays and Austin is off Tuesdays and Thursdays. We work on our duets together on Fridays and we both have off the weekends.
"Ally?" I hear Austin call from outside of the door.
"I forgot my keys again!" He says and I laugh at him rolling my eyes.
"Don't laugh at me! It's not my fault!" He says, but he's laughing too and as I open the door, his eyes lock with mine. It looks like something triggered inside of him as I see his eyes darken. He pushes both of us into the apartment, closes the door and pushes me against the door. He leans down, kisses me and I sigh. The kiss is rough and hard but turns to slow and passionate, as if he's telling me something.
"I love you." He mumbles as he pulls away for a breath and then kisses me again. Ah. The advantages of kissing another singer. We can kiss longer than any normal couple. I pull back and he looks at me and smiles.
"I love you too." I tell him and he picks me up bridal style, carries us to my room and lies me down on the bed. He climbs on top of me, careful to keep his weight off me, and gently kisses me. I moan into the kiss and I hear a low growl come from his throat. I grab the hem of his shirt and play with it. Austin sighs and pulls away from me.
"I-I... I'm sorry..." I say apologetically and look down in embarrassment. I thought that's what he wanted. I was so sure that it was going to be our first time. A tear fell from my eye and I slip out of Austin's grip to run away from him. Then I realize that he's in my room and ran out of the apartment.
"Ally!" He calls but I keep going to the door.
"Please Ally! Listen to me!" I hear his voice coming closer to me so I go faster. When I open the door, I see Dez at the door, his fist up ready to knock and I just run past him. "Ally?" He asks but I keep going. After five minutes of running away from Austin, he starts getting mad.
"Darn it, Ally! I need to talk to you! Please..." He says slowing down to a stop but I keep running. Now it's pouring rain and I sit down on a bench near by to catch my breath. I have never been so embarrassed I'm my life. I can't believe I just did that! I'm so stupid to ever think someone like Austin would want someone like me, in that way. Tears fall down my face as I think about how I just ruined my relationship of eight years with the only person I love.
After a few more minutes, I hear footsteps and they come to a halt in front if me. My breath hitches as I recognize the persons shoes. Austin. I sigh and look up at him and he's holding one of his sweatshirts.
"Ally. You're going to get sick out here in the rain. Please put on this sweatshirt and come with me?" He tells me, but it comes out more like a question than a statement. I just shake my no, still looking down.
"Okay." he says and I thought he was going to leave but I'm suddenly lifted off of the bench and he sets the sweatshirt over me and jogs toward our apartment. "Austin!" I screech but he keeps going. I squirm in his arms but he just keeps going. How is he jogging and carrying me at the same time?
"Austin! Let. Me. Down!" I yell at him but he just keeps going and chuckles at me.
"Alls, seriously. I love you but you're just going to run away from me again and get sick. Not on my watch..." He says as he slows to a walk. "I won't run! Just let me down!" I scream at him and he finally lets me down. I cross my arms and walk ahead of him slightly and cross my arms.
"Ally, please put on this sweatshirt. I don't you to get sick because of me." He says, guilt clear in his voice. Even though he doesn't have anything to be guilty about. I reluctantly take the sweatshirt from him and put it over my head, suddenly thanking Austin for bringing it and telling me to put it on.
"Ally... Why'd you run out like that?" he asks me and I turn my head from him. "Because that's so embarrassing. I-I'm sorry." I say and another tear slips from my eye.
"Ally... Trust me when I say this, I wanted that. I wanted it so much, you wouldn't imagine but..." He trails off.
"But what Austin? That was the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me!" I yell at him in frustration that he wanted it too but let me embarrass myself like that.
"I have to talk to about something that's very serious and if you couldn't tell," he says while chuckling. "I was getting sort of getting off topic." He says while smiling. "I'm just... really nervous." He tells me and I freeze in my spot. Did I hear him correctly? "What?" I ask him and he chuckles. "Yes Ally. I said that I am really nervous." He tells me and I turn to him. "Do you want to talk about it?" I ask him and he swallows noticeably.
"Ally... You are the most amazing thing that has happened to me, you're even better than pancakes!" He says with a nervous chuckle." You changed my life for the better and I can't imagine life without you. You are sweet, adorable, funny, smart, talented , and so much more. You are indescribably beautiful and wonderful and you have the potential to do anything and everything. I love you, so much." He says and he drops to a knee and I gasp. I start crying right there, on the spot. "Allyson Marie Dawson, will you marry me?" He asks me holding out a beautiful ring.
"Austin, I-"
