This is a little ONE-SHOT I wrote for after Fresh Starts and Farewells. Hope you guys like it!
I don't own Austin and Ally
Miserable Days and Mistakes
Ally's POV
Seriously? Austin gets off the bus to hand me a card saying that it contains everything he wanted to say, and then he just leaves before I can even open it? I'm so confused. Nothing makes sense to me right now. I'll admit it, I do like Austin, but I want to pursue my own career. He's only going to be gone for…gulp…three months, and I've written all the songs he'll need for his tour already, so he won't need me. I mean, I am just his songwriter, so why would he need me when he already has all the songs he needs? I love him, but he doesn't need me. He probably doesn't want me there anyway. That's another big reason why I took Ronnie Ramone's offer. I do wonder what that card says though…
Austin's POV
"Dez, get your feet off of me!", Trish yelled. We were all in my new tour bus, and unfortunately for everyone, Dez and Trish somehow ended up sitting right beside each other. YAY! (Note the sarcasm)
"You can't make me", Dez retorted. She's Trish, of course she can make him. She can make him do anything.
"You wanna bet?", Trish challenged. That's it. I've had enough.
"Will both of you please shut up!?", I yelled.
"As soon as he moves his feet", Trish stated.
"As soon as she stops being obnoxious", Dez said. This is really getting on my nerves.
"Dez, get your feet off of Trish, Trish, stop annoying Dez, and both of you just shut up!", I yelled frustrated. They both immediately stopped fighting and came and sat by me.
"Austin, are you okay?", Trish asked me worriedly.
"Why wouldn't I be?", I snapped. I'm definitely NOT okay, but she doesn't have to point it out.
"We miss her too buddy", Dez said knowingly. He did he-nevermind he's Dez.
"Yeah Austin, Ally's my best friend. How do you think I feel?", Trish asked. Better than me. I can't believe she's not coming. I won't see her for three months!
"You guys just don't get it", I said sighing in frustration. Ally's my partner; my best friend; my…one true love. Ally's my life, and I let her go. A lot can happen in three months, and it's going to kill me being away from her for that long. Not being able to wake up every day and know that I'll get to see the love of my life's smiling face. I'm going to miss her so much!
"What don't we get Austin? Wait…Do you still like Ally?", Trish asked smirking at me.
"No", I said. They sighed sadly, but I wasn't finished yet. "I'm still in love with her."
Ally's POV
I stared wide-eyed at this incredible card Austin gave me. I can't believe he wrote that. It says Thinking of You on the front. If you think that's sweet, wait until you hear the rest…
Ally,
I'm so proud of you for what you're doing with your career. That's awesome…You're awesome. I don't think you'll ever really know how much you mean to me. I'm going to miss you like crazy, Ally. I wake up with a smile on my face every morning, because of you. You always wonder how I can act so childish and love the world as much as I do, well, it's all because of you Ally. Without you, my world is dull, boring, just nothing. No matter how I feel, I know you're going to do amazing things with your career. I would never want you to change. There is one thing I have to tell you though…Ally, I love you with all my heart. I always have, and I never stopped.
Love always,
Austin
Why am I so stupid!? I should've gone with Austin. If I had, I would have everything I ever wanted and needed. I would have my music career that means so much to me, Austin's career that also means a lot to me, writing songs for both of us which I love doing, going on an awesome tour, have my friends with me, and…Austin. I would've been with the love of my life, but no. I'm the stupid girl who acted selfish by wanting to get a record deal with Ronnie Ramone. I realized that he's just a jerk, and nothing like Jimmy Starr. I miss Jimmy. He would've offered me a record deal, been nice about it, and let me go on tour with Austin.
Wait a second…Jimmy did offer me a record deal! I specifically remember him saying, "Ally, if you ever want a record deal with Starr Records, it's yours. Talent like yours doesn't come around too often." I didn't accept then, because Trish had meetings set up for me with other labels…but Trish isn't here right now, is she? No, so there's nothing she, or anyone else for that matter, can do or say to stop me from doing what I'm about to do.
At Ronnie Ramone's Office
"Hey Ronnie, I quit. I never signed the contract yet, so there's nothing you can do about it. Thanks for the offer, but I have a tour bus to catch", I said quickly, then sprinted out of his office not caring about the countless protests and pleas to stay. Got to get to Austin before it's too late, I thought, and that alone pushed me forward. Now to Orlando, I think.
Austin's POV
"Austin, I know you're miserable without Ally, but ruining your career is not going to help. You'll feel even worse than you do now. As your manager, I'm ordering you to get off your lazy butt and go perform", Trish said. She just doesn't get it. She'll never get it.
"Dude, I'm siding with Trish on this one. Your life is not over. We miss Ally too, but three months is not that long. She'll still be there when we get home, so get up and go perform now", Dez said. I started to protest again, but Trish cut me off.
"You have to do this Austin. If not for us, and not for yourself, then do it for Ally", she said. For Ally. Those words kept ringing through my mind as I got up sighing and grabbed my acoustic guitar.
"Fine, I'm going, but I'm not changing my clothes", I said leaving the bus before they could protest about the last part of what I just said. I'm just wearing a plain white V-neck T-shirt, a pair of plain jeans, and a pair of old tennis shoes. No high-tops. I'm just not feeling them today. I'm also not feeling my chains that I always wear with my jeans. I think it's pretty impressive I even got into this. Sweat pants and no shirt have been really good friends of mine these past few days.
"Austin, why aren't you dressed? The show starts in three minutes", Jimmy asked when I got back stage.
"I am dressed", I said flatly as his eyes widened. "You're lucky I'm here at all", I mumbled, but he still heard me.
"Why wouldn't you be here? Isn't this what you wanted?", he asked.
"Yeah, but this isn't the way I wanted it", I said sighing. "See you later Jimmy. I got to go perform."
I really want to sing one of the many happy songs Ally and I wrote together, but how can I when I feel this sad at the moment? All the slower songs she wrote were meant to be from her perspective, so I guess I'll just have to sing the one I wrote when I thought I was going to lose Ally to Elliot. Yes, I had written a song before Steal Your Heart that was actually worth hearing, but by the time I was going to play it for her, Ally and I had already gotten together, so I didn't think there was much need for it. I guess it kind of applies to this situation, though…minus the part I added about Elliot taking her from me.
"Hey everybody, I'm Austin Moon. I'm sure most of you know my incredible songwriter and best friend, Ally Dawson…", I said, and the crowd went wild making me smile a little at how far she's come. "I would just like to say how incredibly proud I am of her. She faced her biggest fear, and is living her dream. As much as I wish Ally was here right now, I'm so happy for her. Now I love the songs Ally writes for me, but I thought I'd show you all a song I wrote." I then picked up my acoustic guitar and started sing a song that really expressed how I was feeling at the moment…
Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man (1)
By the time the song was over, I had tears streaming down my face. Yes, Austin Moon is crying. I think the audience noticed too, but I really don't care right now. I looked around the audience, then my eyes landed on one person, and my eyes widened.
Ally's POV
"One ticket to see Austin Moon please", I said hurriedly to the ticket salesman.
"Sorry, we're all sold out", he said.
"WHAT!? No, please! You have to let me in! I'm Ally Dawson. I'm on the list!", I begged. He just shook his head, not even looking at the list I know I'm on. That's it. Time for Plan B. I made a dash for the door, only to be thrown over some large security guard's shoulder. That probably wasn't the best idea.
"Let me go! I'm on the list!"
"George, put Ally down right now and let her in! She's on the list", someone said. The guy put me down, and I turned around to see Jimmy Starr smiling down at me.
"Jimmy! Thank you so much!", I exclaimed hugging him. He just laughed. He's gotten used to me just hugging him like that.
"Does this mean you want to sign with Starr Records?", he asked.
"Of course!"
"Good, now get in there. That boy's miserable in there without you, and he wouldn't even get dressed in his performance clothes", Jimmy said. I smiled gratefully at him, and ran as fast as I could in the concert.
When I got in there, Austin had just walked out on stage. Jimmy wasn't lying about how he looked. Austin Moon would never walk on stage in nothing but a plain white T-shirt, jeans (without his chains), and a pair of regular tennis shoes. I don't think he'd ever wear that in public at all. He's not even wearing his high-tops! This is bad. Like, really bad. Though, he still looked just as hot as ever to me.
"Hey everybody, I'm Austin Moon. I'm sure most of you know my incredible songwriter and best friend, Ally Dawson…", he said, and smiled as the crowd went crazy. Wow, I didn't know they all liked me that much. And how sweet that he's talking about me and doesn't even know I'm here! "I would just like to say how incredibly proud I am of her. She faced her biggest fear, and is living her dream. As much as I wish Ally was here right now, I'm so happy for her. Now I love the songs Ally writes for me, but I thought I'd show you all a song I wrote.", he said. At first, I thought he was talking about Steal our Heart, but my eyes widened when he grabbed his acoustic guitar. Steal Your Heart is not a slow song, so he must've written another song I never knew about.
When he finished singing his song, I was totally amazed. It was called When I Was Your Man, and he was crying! Austin Moon was crying over a song (that he wrote) about someone seemingly special and important in his life. He looked over the crowd with tears streaming down his face, and that's when he saw me. The moment our eyes locked, he looked so surprised, but I took that beautiful smile of his as a good sign.
"Ally", he said. He didn't say it into the microphone, so I really don't know how I heard him. The crowd was going crazy, but I heard his quiet voice whisper my name, clear as day, from all the way up on that stage. I smiled with tears of joy pricking my eyes.
"Austin"
"Go get him girl", Trish said appearing out of nowhere. Of course I was happy to see my best friend, but we'd get to have our girl catch up time later. Right now I'm on a mission.
"Thanks Trish"
"You're welcome. Here's my backstage pass since Jimmy said you didn't have one", she said. I took the pass and took off running backstage after thanking her again.
Third Person POV
Austin was pacing back and forth backstage. He could've sworn he saw Ally in the audience, but that was impossible right? She was busy with her own career back in Miami. Why would she be here? He had only turned his head for a few seconds when Dez called his name, but when he turned back, Ally was nowhere to be found. 'Was she ever even there?', he thought.
"Austin!", he heard a familiar voice call from the other end of the long hallway. He smiled. It was Ally alright. So it was her out there in the audience. This must've been where she had disappeared to.
"Ally!? What are you doing here!?", Austin asked still in shock.
"Just thought I'd come see the guy I'm head over heels in love with perform on his tour", she said. They both smiled lovingly at each other, before quickly running into each other's awaiting arms.
"Ally, I missed you so much!", Austin said with his face still buried in her chestnut curls.
"I missed you more", Ally said letting a single tear fall from her eyes as more started to flow. Austin smiled a little as he took his thumb and wiped them away for her.
"Impossible", he said. Their faces were so close, they were almost touching.
"Possible", she smirked. Austin laughed.
"I love you so much Ally I don't know your middle name Dawson", he said making Ally laugh as he used the same line as when he first asked her out.
"I love you too Austin Monica Moon. More than you'll ever know", Ally said.
"Oh trust me, I know", Austin said pulling her in for a long awaited, slow, and sweet kiss. Both had only kissed the other before, twice, and neither ever wanted to kiss anyone else for the rest of their lives.
"Please tell me that wasn't just acting this time?", Austin asked when they pulled away.
"It never was", Ally said remembering when she 'claimed' it was just acting when they kissed for Dez's second movie. They both had obviously heard Dez say cut, but neither cared. They were going to live in that moment, but this time they both finally had the courage to admit it.
"Ally, are you going back to Miami for your record deal?", Austin asked looking down sadly.
"Why would I do that when my record label is traveling on a tour bus with my favorite performer?", Ally asked smiling.
"REALLY!? Jimmy gave you a record deal!?", Austin asked excitedly. Ally nodded. "That's awesome!"
"Yeah, so I get to go on tour with you", Ally said hugging him tightly.
"Well it's about time", Trish smirked from a few feet away. Dez and Jimmy had the same look on their faces from beside her.
"Are you guys going to eavesdrop on us every time we kiss?", Austin asked.
"Until you two are officially together", Dez replied.
"That reminds me…", Austin said turning to Ally. "Ally, will you please be my girlfriend again? And I mean for more than one date this time."
Ally laughed. "Of course I will"
So they all went back to the tour bus, happy as ever with their entire team. The truth is, Austin and Ally are always going to be inseparable. It's like a piece of each of them is missing when the other is not with them. They are no longer just Team Austin, and they will never be just Team Ally. From now on, Trish, Dez, Austin, and Ally will all be Team Austin and Ally forever, and they couldn't have been happier with that.
