Here is my collection of oneshots that are based on love songs. So I won't be writing the lyrics to the songs so I will tell you what song the story is based on so you have the choice to listen to the song while reading. Warning the stories will be all mushy, gushy, sweet and romantic Auslly oneshots. Feel free to give me the love songs you want me to write.
I don't own anybody, songs or the characters, unless I am making up characters and of course the plot. So don't sue. Enjoy and review.
Song: "Won't Say I'm in Love" from Disney's Hercules. Ally is still in the dark about being in love with Austin but not for long if Trish had anything to do with it.
"Trish, I am going to say this for the hundredth time and I am going to say it really slow to really get my point across; I...am...not.. in...love...Austin. I love him like a best friend, that is how deep my feelings go for if I was in love with him and that is a huge impossible and imaginary "if", a relationship between us would only ruin our close friendship, our partnership and would end up with the complete shattering of not only my heart but also my self esteem, which you know is already pretty low, and my world. No thank you, I would prefer to keep my sanity, heart, world and one of my most cherished friendships in tact.
I have already been burned twice by guys, remember Joshua and Liam in grade 8, who I had thought liked me for me; a bookworm, know it all, goody goody dork. But they were really playing games with my head and heart for their own immature and hurtful reasons and embarrassed me in front of the entire class by publicly announcing my flaws & the many reasons why I am unlovable to any and all guys. Believe me some of our loving classmates still love to remind me of my ex crushes' rejections as concrete proof that I will be a cat lady still living with my father running Sonic Boom with no value in life.
I don't feel like going through that heartache, being worried that I will never making my impact on the world or find true love every again, not with my mind always reminding me of the pain,heartache, ridicule and feeling so shattered that love, my wildest dreams of writing music to touch people's hearts so I make an impact on their life and going against my comfort zone can bring to me. I have decided that unless I am 100% sure that the guy I give my heart to loves me 100% and gives me his loyalty, devotion, love and self the whole way I will never fall in love again.
Though I love that you are always there for me, good time and bad with comforting me all night with hugs, cartoons of fruity mind swirl, reassurances that there is a guy out there destined for me, that everyday I make a lasting impression on everyone I met and are guaranteed to live my dreams once I get over my crippling self esteem issues, can you please let this issue about me having romantic feelings for Austin drop.
I know that Austin is a really sweet, caring, romantic guy who any girl would be lucky to have fall in love with them but for the last time I don't love him in a romantic sense. What do I have to do or say to prove that?" Ally said as she flopped onto her bed, frustrated that once again this taboo topic had been brought up once again even after she had already told Trish that there was nothing between Austin and her many times. How did the story of Austin acting all weird, clingy and snippy with Jamie when he had innocently been asking if she wanted to come to his house for a movie turned into this never ending discussion?
Trish had the strong urge to smack her head repeatedly on the nearest hard surface at the stubborness and blindness of her two best friends at what was obvious to practical strangers let alone their families; that they were head over heels in love with each other and were destined to be together. What else besides knocking Austin & Ally's heads together could she do to prove that to them? Since it was obvious to everyone but Austin and Ally by high heaven she will prove that fact to them anyway she could, whether they wanted to hear it or not. She refused to go another day with Austin and Ally being blind to the fact that their soulmate were right in front of them, something they should have done something about it a year ago.
(Trish is going to talk for a long time. Not rambling but just stating her case and not letting Ally argue or rationalize her points)
"How could I forget those "will not be named but thinking of the worst possible names that will make you smack my arm" little boys? But honey, I am going to say this one more time; in no possible universe would Austin ever be in the same category as those losers, he is in a class of his own so stop denying your love for him just because of what those idiots did or what could happen if you let someone else in.
Because I know my best friend, I will need to provide proof to prove that you Ally Dawson are as head over heels in love with Austin Moon as he is with you so here we go; Exhibit A- a list written by 8 year old Ally after torturing her best friend with an all night Disney movie marathon where she exclaimed after every romantic moment "awww" and chattering on and on about how one day she will find her own Prince Charming, be a princess and live happily ever after. It is a list of the qualities you wanted your prince to have which will prove that Austin is your Prince once and for all.
Let's start with #4 Likes spending time with me, one on one or with both our friends and families- I haven't forgetten those times when you "conveniently" forgot to tell me about plans that Austin and you just happened to have made during your songwriting sessions or your "Austin&Ally" days. I think you two lovebirds do that so you guys can have some alone time where there are no witnesses to gush or take pictures of your lovey dovey, so not just best friends, sweet and romantic words and actions. Or locking yourselves in the practice room to "write" a song which takes you two to the wee hours of the morning, now I am not doubting that you guys write songs in that period of time but I also think that you two milk the minutes you two have together alone as much of possible.
Another piece of evidence is that you are always inviting Austin to a lot Sunday family dinners and he is more then happy to return the favor where you both meet everyone in the immediate family and where Austin has had many sit down man to man talks with your dad while you are busy working at Sonic Boom or being an adorable goody goody doing her schoolwork. Oh yes your dad sees that you are in love with Austin too and wants to make sure he is right for his little girl before he gives you two lovebirds his blessings, check with your dad and he will tell you it has happened. So check that one off."
#3 Loves me for me and wouldn't change me for anything. I feel the exact same way about him- Well that is self explainatory but I will now give you examples since you are giving me the "I still don't see your point" look. I know that technically Austin and you are opposites but that is why you guys are best friends who fell in love and they say opposites attract. He might drive you up the wall with his childish mischievous antics and simple mindness remarks but deep down you love him just the way he is and wouldn't change him for anything, not even if you had three wishes to do so. No one hurts or says anything bad about your Austin or Little Miss Shy and Quiet becomes Ms I-Am-Very-Vocal-About-Protecting-The-Man-I-Love.
Austin is the same way when it comes to you; there was this total beach blonde airhead fan at the beach a few months back who may I say flirting techniques were both lame and stupid that I am surprised she would ever think to use it on any guy for fear she would get laughed at flirting with Austin when he was waiting in line for ice cream.
She dared to ask Austin how he could be friends let alone associate with a "nobody, dork, teacher's pet, pathetic little girl who is so hungry for any attention that she hangs all over a hottie like him. And then if that hadn't made Austin see red, she went on to say that you would never amount to anything but a cat lady whose only job she could ever have is managing the little insignificant job at her daddy's store and would die alone without anyone to love her.
I swear, hand to heart, that I thought Austin's head would explode to the point that he would start shooting fire out of his mouth or smoke out of his ears. That is how mad he was, he could barely control his anger when he said through clenched teeth: "How dare you lie about and trash Ally who is one of the sweetest, realest, beautiful inside and out, intelligent young woman I know who just happens to be one of my best friends who will make a huge impact on this world and change it for the better leaving pathetic people like you in her wake without a second thought.
You asked who could ever love her? Well you are looking at someone who does wholeheartedly; I am in love with Ally, quirks and all, and I wouldn't change her for a millions dollars no matter who is totally jealous of her awesomeness. Now leave me alone." ( Trish gives Ally a pointedly look as Ally's face goes a little paler; she had been noticing that her bullies and haters online hadn't been bugging her as much lately but she thought they had matured to see the errors of their ways. But apparently she had her very own superhero protecting her which made her heart beat a little faster)
"I see that the lightbulb is starting to light up in Ms Dawson's head which I assume means you are coming to the realization that what your wise best friend is saying is true; you are head over heels with Austin and he is madly in love with you. So I will continue with #2- He is sweet and romantic towards me but not over the top or in a way that seems like he is faking. I swear that not an hour goes by when Austin says or does something that is just so gosh darn sweet or romantic that it makes girls swoon at the sight as they pull out their phones and pressure their own guys to step to Austin's level to be just as sweet and romantic towards them.
Romantic movies have nothing on Austin Moon when it comes to showing as well as telling his #1 girl aka you how he feels, he dares to say he isn't good at expressing feelings, yeah right buddy . I mean you two barely knew each other but he tried really hard to give you credit where it was obviously due for "borrowing" "Double Take" and was really sorry that he had caused you to become a small wrecking ball on the Helen Show. He had only wanted to help you get exposure for your wonderful songwriting skills.
Most men wouldn't do something that sweet for someone they just met let alone keep doing them as naturally as Austin does. It is like being sweet and romantic towards you is his daily rountine so it is only natural for you two to fall head over heels in love with each other. He also risked his own music career, one of his biggest dreams, in order to make sure the most important girl knows how extra special she is not only once but twice with no thought or regret of doing it and I am sure Austin will do it as many times as it takes for you to get how special you are to him.
Last but not least was the time he actually didn't care if he got grounded by his parents because he had to help you make up the money you silly kind hearted girl let the elementary school kids with their big doe eyes and sad story got her to "donate" every instrument in her daddy's shop to them, as long as you didn't get into trouble with your dad. So many more acts of chivalry, probably 2 sweet\romantic actions\words per day, to tell but those are the ones that came first to mind. Plus only your babbling and rambling is adorable and sigh worthy, according to your Austin.
And now my bestie, that takes us to #1- Will give me lots of kisses that we both don't want to stop and other forms of affection like endearments, hand holding and putting his arms around me in snuggly hugs and cuddles. I swear you two have no personal boundaries or space, you two seem to like being all squished together on whatever one person is sitting on like the benches, the backseat of cars heck even the classroom chairs, desks be darned.
Or the fact that Austin's hand always seems be on the small of your back whether you need guiding or not or stands super duper close that I swear he is breathing in your scent from your hair or your perfume. And don't tell me you forgot you gushing about the sparks you felt when Austin touched your hand while you doing your songwriting sessions cause that should have been your first hint that you guys were more then friends.
Or the hugs where you two like glomp onto each other like if you guys were apart even for a minute it would be torture so you hang on for as long as you can or before someone namely me as nicely as she can reminds you that you two aren't exactly alone in this world and things like work, school, hanging out with friends and life need to be done so now is not time for timeless hugs. Don't worry Alls, the kissing that won't stop until you two need air and the snuggly cuddles will come, Austin wants it just as much, maybe a smidge more, as you do, you two are the only hurdles to actually being able to kiss and do all the other forms of affection.
All in all I am so jealous cause girl you have found your dream man, just like you have always dreamed about meeting when we were little children dressed up in your mom's clothes and heels with our fake boas and big purses waltzing around your bedroom with our imaginary princes. Now just admit that you are head over heels in love with Austin and go get your man. Now shoo, go on. No time like the present. Don't make me have to drag you over to his house cause I will. Oh darn that is my mom, I am suppose to be cleaning my room (laughs hysterically). Text you later from my closet."
Ally was left on her own just looking around her room, not sure if she should text Austin to warn him of Trish once again playing matchmaker so to be on alert of her until she forgets about her silly theory. As Ally thought, she walked around her room looking at her small but still meaningful collection of pictures of the people most important to her aka her family and best friends on her bedside table, that she might or may not looking at as she is falling asleep while thinking how loved she is.
She quickly realized that most of her pictures were of Austin and her in as Trish would say: "adorkable" and seemingly forgetting there was a camera capturing their every move moments that someone looking at them would think were sweet and romantic couple moments. She felt a warm feeling in the depths of her stomach that grew with each passing second at the thought that Austin might actually have romantic feelings for her.
These thoughts also caused a gooey and dreamy expression to appear on her face at the realization that she was more then perfectly happy about him loving her as more then a friend. Once she became aware of her body language and facial expression, she sighed a deep sigh and collapsed onto her bed, still confused on what or how to think about possibly falling in love with her best friend, the cliche of it all still hitting her.
I still can't believe that Austin said out loud to a total stranger that he loves me and not in a best friends kind of way but in the romantic ,unconditionally and real kind of love. Though I did have the feeling that even when he was teasing and pretending to complain about me being a goody goddy, know it all dork that he still liked me for me and wouldn't change me in anyway, no matter how times he tries to "fun" me up or should I say take me out of my comfort zone. I guess his teasing was just him pulling on my pigtails like a little boy with a crush on a girl that he has no idea how to act around which somehow makes me feel like happy dancing or bouncing up and down.
I would never admit this to anyone let alone Trish ,who I love like a sister, but who would never let this talk stay between us and would try her hardest to not only matchmake Austin and me but would blab the truth to him the instant my back is turned. ( Memo to myself, confiscate Trish's cell phone until she pinkie promises and swears on our friendship that she will never ever in a million years tell Austin about this conversation until I have a heart to heart ( hahaha heart to heart,I am so puny) with myself.)
Secrets and Trish don't mix. But all this remincing about times when Austin and I weren't exactly acting like best friends more like two people who are head over heels in love and the fact that Austin might be in love with me has made me question my own feelings towards him. Is it true; am I in love with Austin?
I wasn't kidding when I said that Austin is a catch for any girl, he is just too sweet, easy to be around and talk to about anything, romantic, caring and adorkable not to capture a lucky girl's heart. Hmm not really liking the thought of another girl kissing him, holding his hand, making goo-goo eyes at him and overall being showered daily with Austin's affections, touches and attention. I am getting that tight, uneasy feeling in my tummy right now, not a good sign.
Why does it feel like my heart is slowly but surely breaking in half with the images that my oh so "loving" imagination is supplying of Austin being all cutsey with another girl and how downtrodden and lost I would feel as the best friend who feels like she lost one of her limbs or even a huge part of her heart?. Ok I get it brain, I am falling in love with Austin but I am so not ready to say it out loud yet let alone say anything about it to Austin. So for right now I won't say I am in love with Austin to anyone but me, myself and my diary.
