A/N- new A&A story:) BTW they're 16 when it starts, and when it gets to present time they're 20.

I don't own Austin & Ally.


FOUR YEARS EARLIER

"Hey, Austin. It's Ally. We really need to talk. Call me back." Ally said. It was her fourth message of the day.

"Ally, what's up?" Trish asked. They were both at the Dawson's home, talking and waiting for Austin to call back.

"I don't really wanna tell anyone until Austin calls back." Ally admitted. Trish nodded in understanding. At that moment, Ally's phone rang. "Maybe it's Austin!" She exclaimed. She jumped up and grabbed her phone. "Hello?"

"Ally, hey!" Austin said.

"Austin! I've been trying to reach you all day!" Ally exclaimed.

"I'm so sorry! Dez was just being, well, Dez." He reasoned. Ally sighed.

"Just come over. And bring Dez." She said. They both hung up.

About five minutes later, Austin and Dez showed up at the Dawson's.

"Oh, hello, Austin, Dez." Penny Dawson said as she opened the door. The two boys greeted her and walked inside.

"Where's Ally?" Austin asked.

"In her room. She really needs to talk to you." Penny said. Austin told her about Ally's four phone messages, and he and Dez went up the stairs to Ally's room.

"Should we knock?" Dez asked.

"She might be getting dressed. I wouldn't wanna see that." Austin said.

"Suuuure you wouldn't." Dez said, obviously being sarcastic. Austin knocked on the door.

"Come in." Ally said. They did, and saw Ally and Trish sitting on Ally's bed.

"What is it you wanted to talk about?" Austin asked.

"You might wanna sit down." Ally said. Austin and Dez sat on Ally's bed. Ally sighed.

"Well, you know that music school I've been wanting to go to ever since I was a little girl?" She asked.

"Music University of New York? Yeah, I know that one." Austin said. Ally nodded.

"Yeah... Well, I got accepted." Ally said.

"Ally, that's awesome!" Austin said. He stood up and hugged Ally, but she sat him back down.

"Yeah, well, here's the thing." Ally sighed again. "They want me to go now."

"What?" Austin, Trish, and Dez asked simultaneously.

"I-I'm sorry. I have to go to New York. I leave in a week." Ally explained.

"Ally, you can't." Austin said.

"I have to. I can't pass up my dream." She explained.

"Ally, we're living our dream. Together." He said.

"But Austin, it's M.U.N.Y. It's the best music school in the country. If you're really my friend, you'd be happy for me. Not angry at me." She said.

"I just can't believe it. New York? I'll never see you." He said. His sadness was upsetting Ally, but she couldn't do anything about it.

"I've already told them I'm going. I can't do anything about it now." She told him, almost as if he was the only person in the room with her. Trish and Dez watched silently, hoping Austin would talk Ally out of going.

No matter what Austin tried, it didn't work. Ally left a week later. They were all heartbroken, but they got to other things eventually. Trish kept getting new jobs, but every job she got reminded her of Ally in some way. Dez just was Dez and forgot. Austin, well, Austin never forgot. He never moved on. He always remembered Ally.

He even quit music. I know, Austin Moon would never quit music, but he did. He just couldn't sing or dance without being reminded of Ally.

His life was about to change all over again.


A/N- soo.. Chapter 1 done! I know this seems kinda one shot-ish, but trust me. I'm making it long.
