The Year I Met L.A. With Austin Monica Moon
Chapter 1
187 interviews
56 concerts
3 tour legs
and 1 and a half years later.
We made it.
Austin and I had officially made it.
When we released a 6 track EP album, we blew up. Teenage fangirls went crazy for Austin Moon, and I secretly wrote the songs, staying out of the limelight. People only saw me as Ally Dawson, Austin's best friend. It was always me and him. That was until Austin met Lucy.
I have nothing against Lucy Henning, she is the sweetest, nicest, prettiest girl I've ever met. Blonde hair, blue eyes, tall, like Austin. They look adorable together. And I wasn't jealous. Right? No, I'm not. I don't have feelings for Austin, remember?
Lucy is great, she's my L.A. Trish. We go to the beach, get our nails done, go shopping, talk about girl stuff. She is my only girl friend in L.A. because I'm too much of a hermit to go out and talk to people, and she is one of the few people that know I write songs for Austin. Once when we were at the beach, Austin was surfing while we were tanning, and she accidentally let it slip out that she thought he was cute. Lucy likes Austin, and Austin likes Lucy. It's obvious really, he'll try to compliment her and either end up stuttering so much he can't talk, or it comes out wrong and is just weird.
Austin has changed too, his hair is at a perfect length that's super-hot, he's taller, his voice got deeper, and his muscles are WOW. Before you think I'm hiding secret feelings for Austin, I'm not. I'm a teenage girl who's not blind so I'm totally allowed to have my opinions. It also doesn't help that he walks around the house shirtless, it doesn't matter what he's doing, Netflix, cooking, basketball, playing his guitar, cleaning- who am I kidding- I do the cleaning, Austin doesn't even know what a broom is.
Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I live with Austin in his slightly large mansion he bought. I don't really have a source of income because I'm his songwriter, and that doesn't pay much in Hollywood terms. So it's me and Austin living together, Dez occasionally crashes overnight, or brings Austin to a low key college party. They invite me but I'm not the type to want to get wasted at a party. We know where that led to last time.
But here we are, a year and a half later, at the summer teen choice awards. Austin was nominated for best debut ep, along with 3 other people. Austin had to win, this would do wonders for our career, publicity, more concerts, more fans.
Austin brought Lucy as his date tonight, he told me he was planning to ask her out. I brought Dez, or more like, Austin wanted his best friend there when he won but the only way for Dez to get in was if I brought him because Austin already invited Lucy, so I technically brought Dez as my.. ew.. date.
Dez and I were posing for photographers, and a reporter shoved a microphone in my face.
"Ally Dawson, how do you feel about Austin being nominated tonight for best debut ep?" the reporter asked.
I put on my best fake smile, the way Jimmy told me to when confronted by reporters, "I'm super excited! We have been waiting for this for a while, and I think Austin's career is about to skyrocket, if he wins tonight I think that we will really grow our fanbase" I said.
The reporter gave me a confused look, "We?"
Crap, no one is supposed to know about Austin and I working together, "Um, yeah, Austin and I, when we met 2 years ago, I really supported him and I support him now, I help with like " I look over at Austin who his talking to a different reporter. He looks so happy, his career is about to take off, and he has his best friends to live it with.
Dez pulled me into the building, complaining that he had to use the bathroom, and as we passed Austin, I gave him a nudge and mouthed, "Ask her, now!"
I pulled Dez to a stop and Austin took a deep breath, "Lucy, ever since I first met you, I'll admit I had a crush on you, you are an amazing girl, and I would love to call you mine. Lucy Henning, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked nervously.
Lucy's face lit up with a smile, "Yes!" she squealed. Austin smiled back and took her hand and they went inside.
A&A
"And the winner for best debut EP album is… Austin Moon!"
Austin looked at me with his jaw dropped, and I did the same. He walked past my seat on his way to claim his award, I hugged him, and he kissed my forehead, before running up on stage.
Amber Smith, the hostess, handed Austin the award plaque and a microphone.
"Um, I would like to thank Jimmy and Star Records for getting me here, there's no way I could have been here if it weren't for them, also my song writer, Ally Dawson". My world stopped. No, this can't be happening. No one is supposed to know. Oh god, I'm gonna throw up
"You guys don't know this, but Ally writes all of my songs, and there's no way I can make it without you Ally" Austin motions for me to come on stage with him and I reluctantly make my way up the steps.
Austin pulls me into a side hug, "Ally deserves this award just as much as I do" he says.
I take the microphone from Austin, "No I don't" I say nervously. I pull away from Austin, I can't be on stage any longer, or I will throw up. Austin grabs my wrist as I try to run down the steps, but I shake it free and keep running.
"Um, thank you for voting me as best debut album everybody!" Austin drops the microphone and sprints after me.
"Ally wait!" I keep running, I turn the corner remembering that I had to wait for Dez when he was using the restroom, and ran into the woman's room.
Stall. I run to the nearest one and throw up my lunch I had eaten at a small cafe.
"Ally are you okay?" a familiar voice asks from outside the bathroom.
"What do you think?" I snap before throwing up again, suddenly, Austin is in the same stall as me and holding my hair back while I puke.
"You can't be in here, get out!" I say, but Austin doesn't budge. I sigh and stand up, Austin hands me paper towel to wipe my mouth, "Thankyou" I whisper, while Austin gives me a hug.
I slap Austin in the chest, "Ow- What was that for?" he asks.
Is this boy stupid? Of course he is, he's Austin Moon. "I don't know, maybe for telling the whole world that I'm your songwriter!" I yell.
"Ally, it's not that big of a deal, I wanted to give you credit for what you've done!" Austin says like it's not a totally ridiculous thing to do.
I take in breath trying not to snap, "Maybe I didn't want to be recognized, now I'm going to be famous too, I didn't want that! I just wanted to be a normal person!" I say, tears brimming in my eyes. I push past Austin and head outside, my life is over now, I never wanted this. By tomorrow my name will be in magazines, not as someone who is a bystander, but a full article about how I've been hiding my talents for a year and a half.
"Ally, wait we can talk about this" Austin said. God what does a girl have to do to get a taxi.
I sigh and turn around, "There's nothing to talk about, you let out my secret, I'm done, done with everything, I'm going home, I'm done with you, I'm done with Star Records" a cab pulled up to the car and I got in, and Austin did too.
"Get out!" I say, annoyed.
Austin smirks, "Darling I believe you're forgetting that you don't have a home, I believe I am the one who pays the bills on my, may I say, beautiful mansion, cabbie west LA please" Austin said.
I let out a loud groan and sunk into the seat, "And you also have nowhere to go, so it looks like you're stuck staying with me-eee" Austin sang the last part and booped my nose.
"Don't touch me" I hissed.
After 20 minutes we pulled up in the drive way of 'Austins' house. Austin payed the cabbie, and I got out and ran inside to my room and locked the door behind me. A minute later there was a knock on my door, "Ally, please, come out, I just want to talk to you" I didn't reply, instead I pulled out my new macbook and typed in my name and clicked on News.

I let out a silent sob. I don't want this, once you've been pushed into the world of fame there's no going back. I turned off my laptop and pulled my blankets over my head, trying to block out the sound of Austin's voice and his repetitive knocking.
"Ally I'm breaking the door down" Austin warned. Yeah right, he would never- CRASH.
My eyes whipped to the doorframe, to see Austin standing over the now broken door. He blushed slightly and walked over to my bed. I turned to the opposite way, so I couldn't see him, "Go away" I said quietly, hoping he didn't hear me. I really just wanted him to stay and talk to me.
I felt the bed shift and hot breath on my neck, "I told you to leave Austin" I whispered.
"We both know you don't want that, I'm sorry for everything tonight Ally, I thought that you would enjoy the credit, I want people to know you write songs because you're great at it" Austin said.
I sigh and roll over to face him, "It's okay, I guess you can be forgiven- if you promise to take me to In and Out Burger tomorrow, just me and you" I smile.
"Sure thing" Austin smiled, "I'm going to bed" Austin kissed my forehead and went to close the door, "I'll get you a new door tomorrow, promise"
