Lester's POV
"Hey Sweetie." I greeted my daughter as she walked through the doors of Sonic Boom. "Hey Dad." She said back, it sounded like something was wrong with her. Most Dads were protective of their daughters. But with me and Ally, it's different; we have this strong bond since she grew up without a female figure. It was just me and her so I was quite protective of her, I just didn't show it.
"What's wrong?" I asked her. "Nothing, it's just Austin's got this new clingy girlfriend and she won't let us spend any time together." She explained, I always thought he liked Ally because he was quite protective of her when she dated that Dallas Boy. "Why not?" I was confused, did this new girlfriend not like Ally. No - that's crazy, who couldn't like Ally?
"She thinks me and Austin have a thing." She told me as she walked over to the counter. "What? Just because of that you can't spend any time with Austin?" I said, not believing what she just said. "Not even a second." She stated in monotone. "That's crazy." I replied truthfully, she nodded at my comment. "She hates me anyway." She said walking up the stairs.
The next day, I made Ally breakfast. She looked really sad today, maybe it was because of Austin's new girlfriend. "Are you still upset about that new girlfriend of Austin's?" I asked her as I sat next to her. "Yeah, well how can me and Austin not see each other ever again? I mean, we're music partners. Katie can't stop us, can she?" I could tell she was really hurt by the fact Austin's girlfriend, Katie hated her and didn't want her to see Austin ever again.
A few hours later, me and Ally were in Sonic Boom. Ally was behind the counter, working. "I'm gonna go up to my office, give me a shout if you need anything." I said as I made my way up the stairs. "Okay Dad."
Ally's POV
Dad has been really nice and great about my problem with Austin and Katie recently. "Hey Alls!" Austin greeted loudly as he ran through the Sonic Boom doors. "Hey, why are you here? We're not supposed to see each other... every again." I stated. "I don't care, I want you to know that Katie doesn't like you because she thinks that you like me, and she thinks I like you back." I looked at my book that was laying open on the counter, I quickly shut it so Austin couldn't see anything I was writing.
I was upset by Austin's comment, because I secretly like Austin. "AUSTY!" Katie bellowed as she ran in, seeing me and Austin in the same room. I chuckled lightly at his nickname, Austy. "Oh, uh. Hey Katie." He said, awkwardly. "Ally." She hissed at me. "Good to see you too, Katie." I said, sarcastically. Katie took Austin's hand, he kissed her cheek as she told him, sweetly, "Say bye to Ally, this is the last time you'll see her." He nodded. "Bye Alls. I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked me. "I don't think Katie would like that." I said as I motioned them both to the door.
The next day, Trish and I went to the beach, despite my thoughts about the beach. As we walked onto the boiling-hot sand, barefoot. I glanced across the beach, I saw Austin and Katie. She was sat on her lap in her bikini and he was kissing her cheek as her arms were wrapped tightly around his neck. I sighed at the sight.
Lester's POV
A week later, Austin burst through the doors, I hadn't seen him for about two or three weeks around here. "Mr Dawson! Where's Ally?" He sounded really panicy and worried. "Hi Austin. Yeah, she's up in the practice room, why, what's happened?" I questioned quickly. "Uh, can I tell you after I've talked to Ally, please?" He asked, he must really need Ally, he's never like this. I motioned him to the stairs.
Austin's POV
Gotta find Ally.
Gotta find Ally, the same sentence ran through my mind millions of times. I went up to the practise room, but waited at the open door, she was singing beautifully. As usual. She played a delicate tune on her acoustic guitar and sang out.
I shouldn't love you but I want you
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away...
I shouldn't love you but I want you
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away...
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let her win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know
It's getting hard to be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let her win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know
This emptiness is killing me
And I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
I'm waiting here...
Been waiting here...
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let her win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know, oh
Just so you know...
Oh, whoa
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know
Just so you know...
I smiled as she stopped singing her beautiful song. I walked in, clapping my hands, I thought the usual was going to happen where she panics and asked me how long I've been listening. Instead she looked down and ignored me. "Does Katie know your here? Don't think she'll approve." She said. "I broke up with her last week." I told her. "Oh." She said in monotone. "What are you doing here?" She asked me.
"I wanted to apologize for letting Katie get between us, that's why I broke up with her." I explained. "Okay." She replied, this is not getting anywhere. "So am I forgiven?" I hoped that she would say yes and everything would be fine and back to normal, but I had a feeling th- "I'll think about it." With that, I said my goodbyes to her and went home to attempt to write a song.
I sat to write one, but I found it way too hard so I tried to write the music first and after that it was a little easier to write the lyrics. I practically just wrote what I felt for Ally. I wrote the last lyric on the bottom of the paper.
You Beautiful Soul, Yeah.
I read my song again and then played the slow tune again and sang it again and again. I knew exactly how to show Ally how I feel, but if she'll feel the same way I do not know. Then to distract me from my thoughts my phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered, it was a home number. "Hi Austin." A voice I recognized answered. Mr Dawson, why was he calling me. Had something happened to Ally? "Hi Mr Dawson. Why are you calling?" I asked politely. "You said you'd tell me why you were freaking out earlier and you never got a chance so I got your number from Ally's call history and called you." He explained. "Oh, I just wanted to apologize to Ally because I let Katie get between us." I told him. "Austin, do you have a crush on my daughter?" He asked me. HOLY GOD! HOW DOES HE KNOW!
"Uh, what makes you ask?" I asked, trying to get me some time to think. "You were quite protective of her when she was dating that Dallas Boy and I just had a feeling you might feel something for her. And please tell me, I won't tell her anything." He said. "I kinda have a little thing for her but-" He cut me off, "I don't mind, if anyone dates her I'd rather it be you because I know you'll look after her." I smiled to myself. "Thanks Mr Dawson." I thanked him as that kind of did give me some confidence to do what I am going to do to show Ally how I really feel. "Alright then Austin, better go, Ally wants me. Bye." He said. "Bye." I replied and then we both hung up.
I looked at the sheet of lyrics and started to plan out what I was going to do to prove to Ally how I really feel about her.
