Somewhere Only We Know
Austin's POV
"Okay guys it goes like this 1...2...3!" I stretched out my arms showing the precise movement before I finished off with a pin drop and a salute as the finishing pose. "Got it Stacy?" I asked. She nodded and I sighed happily. We have been working on our number for the summer music star awards all year long.
The Summer Star Music Awards isn't just any award, it's the place where you become the real thing. I don't need it honestly thanks to Cassandra at Teardrop records, I've become every girls teen heartthrob and best rising star on the planet.
"Okay start the music!" I shouted wiping the sweat off my forehead. "5...6...7...8." I started off with a nice and easy dry roll leaning my way into the warrior roll stepping out my right leg first and then my left. Running my fingers through my hair I smirked and walked back jumping into a side spin. I popped out with a heel toe and turned backwards to glide to the left of my partner.
Stepping back to the front I heel slid to the right. Adding a nice double shoulder I threw in a famous taiko runner. I did a roll and bounce before jumping in for the breakthrough move.
"Cut!" Cassandra said appearing suddenly.
I groaned and stopped the music, "Cassandra we are kind of busy so if you don't mind...?" I snapped angrily. She had a serious look on her face and crossed her arms across her chest. Now I knew this wasn't a good sign...
"Okay 30 minute break!" I yelled. I passed Cassandra and grabbed a water bottle out of the mini fridge.
I opened the bottle and sat in my chair as she came over and forcefully shoved a newspaper at my chest. "What the hell is that Austin?" She asked bitterly. I swallowed back some fear as I scanned over the cover.
It was a picture of me walking out of the club with my arm around some blonde girl, who I frankly don't even remember at this current moment... "Another blonde bimbo Austin? I told you I didn't want you back in the clubs again or there would be major consequences!"
"Consequences?" I laughed, "Cassandra I know you're my manager but you are not my parents."
She glared at me and huffed, "Well then Mr. Know-It-All, I called your parents."
I choked on my water, pounding my chest I looked at her disbelief.
"M-my parents?!" I yelled. She nodded, "They said you could use a little hometown check up." She walked away and I sat my bottle down following her into the hallway. "Hometown check up?" I snapped furiously. "Cassandra there is a reason I left my hometown, California is so much better than Miami."
"Austin don't you miss the beach and I don't mean some fake sand and umbrella in the back of your photo shoots, I mean the real sand. The hot sand sneaking its way between your toes?" She enthused as she walked into her office. I followed her once again, I took a seat in one of her velvet chairs holding onto my water bottle tightly.
"Well maybe I like the sand at the photo shoots." I whined.
She rolled her eyes, "Austin you're 18, get your head out of the clouds. You need to realize that there is life beyond LA." She said with a bright smile. I bit back my laughter, "What's so funny?" She asked.
"The fact that you think I'm leaving Cali for my little town in Miami, there's no way in hell I'm going back there." I stood up and crossed my arms over my chest. "Well too bad Austin, I already called your parents two days ago. They're already on a flight to California and they're going to come and pick you up to take you home." She spoke confidently as if she had already won the war.
Austin Moon never backs down without a fight...ever.
"They're coming to get me?! Cassandra! Don't you realize that the Summer Star Music Awards is in a month?!" I practically yelled. She furrowed her eyebrows, "Austin stop finding excuses I have bigger and better idea's for you anyways."
"As in?" I asked impatiently.
"A world tour." She said flashing me a smile. I smirked, "What's the catch."
A grin tugged at her bubble gum lips. "You must write a new song while you're there."
"Are you freaking kidding me?! I haven't written a new song since I was back in Miami!" I retorted. "That's exactly why I want you to go, maybe just maybe it will motivate you to write a new song while your there."
I leaned against the wall groaning as I slid down.
"I can't believe you're making me do this." I snapped. "It may change your suckish attitude you've got going for you in tabloids as well." She added as she sipped on her water. "I don't have an attitude." I growled before getting up and walked out the room.
"Oh and Austin!" Cassandra yelled.
I backed up and popped my head in the doorway, "Yes?" I said through gritted teeth. She grinned, "Don't forget, no song, no world tour."
I nodded and walked away from the room. I went back to the dancers watching them as they practiced their moves, "Cut guys! Looks like we're going to have to hold back on Summer Star Music Awards!" I yelled madly.
Stacy came up to me a pretty upset look on her face, "What do you mean hold back?" She snapped angrily. I rolled my eyes at her stupidity, "It means we're not going to be doing our number or as in we aren't going at all." I said flatly. "What did you do now to set Cassandra off her rocker?!" She accused.
"Nothing!"
She put her hand on her hip and stared me down, "Stacy it's nothing, I'm going to be gone for a while I'll see you later alright?" I said before grabbing my bags. I walked out of the studio and down the stairs leading to the outside.
I pulled out my keys and hopped in my black mustang.
The engine roared to life and I backed out of my parking spot. Rolling down the window I stuck my hand out diligently letting the wind caress my hand. I can't believe I had to go back to my stupid home. California has had more benefits for me than Miami ever has.
I groaned and pulled into my Beverly Hills neighborhood. The guard opened the gates and I drove down the road smoothly. I only lived in the Beverly Hills apartments due to the safety it provides but I like how comforting and big it is. Plus my friend Dez, my video producer, lives with me so I needed a bigger space than I a run down apartment.
I pulled into my driveway and parked the car letting the engine die out as I stepped out and locked the doors. Something felt very strange because there was some random car in my driveway, I swear if Dez brought home another annoying talkative brunette I'll kill him.
I walked up the cobblestone walkway and unlocked the door.
"Dez I'm home!" I yelled as I dropped my bag at the side of the door. I cocked an eyebrow, he normally answers me when I get home. I casually walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple and took a bite as I was on my way to the living room.
I entered and there stood my parents with huge smiles on their faces.
The apple dropped out of my mouth and hit the floor rolling away into another realm of the room.
"Mom?" I looked at her then back at my father, "Dad?"
"Oh honey we miss you!" My mom cheered gleefully as she came over and hug me tightly. I hugged her back awkwardly, I haven't seen or heard from my parents in years. I laughed as Dez came into the room, a noticeable smile on his freckled face, yet still I glared at him.
"Looks like we're having a little family reunion." He said with a smug smile.
I shook my head at him as my mother hugged me tightly blocking my breathing. I slightly broke away from her, "I missed you too mom but I was kind of hoping you guys were coming at a later time...next month." I said uneasily.
Dad shook his head as he slung his arm around mom's shoulder, "Nonsense son we're here to take you back home tomorrow. Everyone misses you, Aunt Lisa, Uncle Adam, and your two little Cousin's-"
"Amanda and Amber I know dad." I said pretty annoyed. Mom sighed, "I know you might not be into seeing your family son and I know the memories that happened there are not the best but you can't run away from your past forever because forever my seem shorter than you think." She softly patted my back and grabbed her bags.
"Dez said we could take the guest bedroom. We're leaving at 6 am in the morning for the flight going to Florida. It will take a couple hours to get to Miami so we're going to be driving once we hit Florida." Dad said with a smile. He brought me in for another tight hug, "We'll see you in to morning it's getting pretty late goodnight son."
And with that they both grabbed their bags and walked up the stairs.
Dez suddenly started slurping on his capri sun. "Don't look at me like that Austin, I'm not the one who ignored their parents." He snapped and then walked away. I growled and sat down on the couch.
This can't be happening already.
