A/N: Okay, I promise I'm gonna stick with this story. Read and review, please.

Ally's POV

I was playing the piano in the practice room, waiting for Austin to hold up his end of the bargain. I told him that if he would meet me here at Sonic Boom today, he could have the rest of the week off. He said he would meet me here to work on a new song, but so far he hasn't showed up.

Austin's career has skyrocketed in the past year. He changed his style of music from pop, to a hard rock type of thing. The songs we're writing are getting more and more meaningful the more he performs them. One time, I remember he cried during one of his songs because it was so deep and meaningful, but he still kept singing.

In the past year, I also found out he had quite a dark past. He struggled with drugs before I met him, and he almost died on one occasion. Since then he's come clean, but I'm still worried about him. That's where all the emotion in his songs our coming from. His struggles, his worries, his past in general.

Austin suddenly burst through the door. "Sorry I'm late," He said, smiling apologetically, "I was on a date with Kira."

Kira. Even the name made me cringe. I secretly like Austin. I think I have ever since I met him, but it hasn't became apparent until now. I'm trying to hold it in, because if we ever break up, will we stay friends or just stay mad at eachother? Ever since he started dating Kira, it's like he hasn't had time for me, which made me quite jealous, I might add. I miss the times when we would just sit in the practice room and hang out. Watch movies, eat pizza, normal best friend stuff.

I sighed. 'Best friends.' I thought.

"You okay?" He asked, "You seem kinda down."

I turned to face him. "Look, Austin, ever since you've been going out with Kira, you would show up late for practice sessions, and sometimes you would just blow them off," I said, "This is important to me, and I know it is to you, also. Please, just try harder next time." I lied.

He sighed. "Ally, I know you better than that. What's really going on?"

Shit. He caught me.

"Look, Austin. I miss the times we used to spend together. The times where we would just, you know, hang out. Do normal best friend stuff, you know?" I took a deep breath, "I miss... you, Austin. I miss you."

He took his hand and put it on my head, stroking my hair in a comforting fashion. It felt so good, and I wanted this moment to last forever.

He sighed. "Tell you what," He started, "Tonight, we'll hang out up here and watch a movie. I'll order pizza, my treat. Then, I'll come to practice everyday this week, 'cause you were talking about me blowing off practice. I'm sorry, Ally. I didn't know you felt that way." He promised sincerely.

I gasped. "Really? You'd do that for me?"

He draped his arm around me, and moved his lips near my ear. "You know I'd do anything for you." He whispered.

I shivered at the feeling of his hot breath against my ear. Why does Austin have to be so sexy, like, all the time?

He pulled back slowly, and then he got up from his seat. "I'll go order the pizza. You pick the movie. I don't really care."

I smiled at him. "Okay."

Austin could be so sweet when he wanted to be, and quite defensive when he needs to be. I laughed at the memory where Austin was yelling at Trent for cheating on Trish, just so he could dance for Austin.

My thoughts were interrupted when Austin walked back into the room.

"Pizza's on it's way." He announced.

"Cool. Wait, what time is it?" I asked. I had completely lost track of time when I came into the practice room.

He glanced at the clock on the wall. "6 'o clock."

"Wow. You were later than I thought."

He ran his hand through is hair. "Yeah, sorry about that."

I looked him up and down. He was wearing black jeans which were ripped, and they had a chain hanging out of the left pocket. He wore a black tank top that hugged his figure perfectly. He also wore his signature whistle and guitar pick necklaces.

I bit my lip. "Don't worry about it." I finally said.

He smirked at me. "Like what you see?" He asked cockily.

"Oh, please. Just go wait for the pizza."

He shrugged. "Okay." He said simply.

God, that was a close one. He almost caught me checking him out. Way to be subtle, Ally.

"Why don't I just concentrate on picking a movie...?" I told myself.

I walked over to the rack of DVDs we had in the practice room. I finally decided on Cars, one of Austin's favorites and placed it in the DVD player. I waited for the menu to show, and stopped messing with it because I wanted to wait for Austin and the pizza before I started the movie. He was still so much of a child. Even though he had a rough past, he still managed to keep his childlike demeanor. I don't know how he did it. It's a mystery to me.

I heard two people talking downstairs. I assumed Dez had come over for a chat, but then I heard the door slam shut.

"Yo, Ally!" Austin called from downstairs, "Pizza's here!"

"Awesome!" I replied happily.

He came jogging up the stairs with a box of pizza in his hand. I could't help but notice how his muscles rippled with every step he took. I quickly looked away before he could notice.

I went to sit on the couch, Austin following close behind me. He placed the pizza next to me, then went to grab the remote off the top of the TV. He came to sit back down on the other side of the box of pizza.

He smirked at me, holding the remote in front of my face. "Would you like to do the honors?" He asked, smiling.

I giggled, taking the remote from his hand and starting the movie.

All I could do was laugh when Austin talked along to Lightning McQueens's first line.

"Speed. I am speed." He said, mimicking the voice of Lightning.

He looked my direction and smiled, then turned his attention back to the movie.

'So childish.' I thought to myself.

A few minutes into the movie I realized we hadn't even touched the pizza yet. I opened the box, taking a slice for myself, then with my other hand I took another slice and held it up in front of him.

He looked at me, then to the pizza slice. "Oh, thanks." He said, taking the slice from my hand and biting into it.

The whole movie I just looked at Austin, admiring his manly features and his attitude towards things. He's so calm and collected all the time. In a way, he's sort of a mentor towards me. I want him to teach me how to be so childish, yet so mature at the same time. Truthfully, I miss childhood. Now, can't let loose like I used to when I was a kid.

That's something I've always admired of Austin, and I always will.

A/N: There you go. Next chapter should be up in a couple days. Stay patient, my friends.
