So, I thought I'd start a songfic collection of one-shots for Austin & Ally! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally. Disney does. Or Katy Perry's song, The One That Got Away

The One That Got Away

Ally's POV

Summer after high school, when we first met

We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead

And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos

I came through the doorway of me and my husband's condo in Miami. I had just come back from celebrating with friends. I was now 80 years old. Sigh. I walked through the living room and saw Dallas sitting, reading the newspaper. He came up and kissed me on the cheek.

"How was the day with the girls, dear?" he asked me.

"It was fine. I'm going upstairs, ok?" I replied, as I turned to go upstairs to our room. I passed Derek, Abby, and Alice's rooms on the way up. Our three kids. All grown up with kids of their own. They all moved away, one to New York, one to Los Angeles, and one to Tennessee. It was sad with no one else in the house, but I got over it quickly. I made our way to our bedroom, and took out a box from under the bed. Dallas doesn't know I have this. I took the contents and looked through the pictures. The first one was of Austin and I. Oh, how I miss him. It was when we first met, the summer after high school. We were posed on top of his yellow Mustang with his arm slung around me. We both had goofy smiles on our faces. I remember we used to make out in his Mustang all the time, listening to Radiohead. I miss the good old days.

I took out the next picture, and it was one of us showing our matching tattoos. We'd gotten them on my 18th birthday, and man, they hurt so much! But I thought it was worth it back then…

Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof

Talk about our future like we had a clue

Never plan that one day, I'd be losing you

Sometimes when his parents were out of town, he would take the liquor from the cabinet and we would climb to the roof, and drink our hearts out. I remember we would talk about how'd we go into the music business, and how he wanted me to be his permanent songwriter. 'We're the perfect team!' is what he said. But I never thought that one argument would lead to me losing him.

In another life, I would be your girl

We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world

In another life, I would make you stay

So I don't have to say, you were the one that got away

The one that got away

I was June and you were, my Johnny Cash

Never one without the other, we made a pact

And sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoa

I remember one time when I spent the night at his house, we watched Walk the Line. It told the story of Johnny Cash and June. I couldn't help but compare them to Austin and I. Austin had fallen asleep towards the movie, and I was lying quietly in his arms. We were on the couch, and I brought my head up to kiss him on the lips.

Flashback

I leaned up to peck Austin on the lips. He stirred and opened his eyes slowly.

"Wake up sleepy head. The movie's over" I said to him, smiling.

"Mmmm" He replied, as he shut his eyes and pulled me into his chest. He nuzzled my neck and started kissing everywhere on my face. I pulled away.

"You know what? Johnny and June are kind of like us. They're partners in the music business, just like us. And we're also inseparable, like them" I told him.

"Oh yeah, that's right. And when either of us dies, we'll see each other again in heaven. Promise?" Austin asked.

"I promise"

End of Flashback

I pulled out another item. The first CD we ever made together with an actual music company. I was about to put in the CD player, until I heard Dallas call.

"Ally! I'm going out! I'll be back in a couple of hours!" Dallas called. I heard the front door close, and just like that he was gone.

I put the CD in the player, and listened to the words. I reached up and felt wetness on my cheeks. I miss him so much.

Someone said you had your tattoo removed

Saw you downtown singing the blues

It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse

I pulled out a ring. It was a beautiful ring, and I slipped it on my finger. Austin had given this to me when he asked me to marry him. I had immediately said yes. But in the next few months, everything had gone downhill. We were both 20 now, and Austin was already working on his 3rd CD. We had gotten in a stupid fight about him going on a world tour. I wanted to come with him, but he said it was best if I stayed behind.

Flashback

"Austin! We're engaged for crying out loud! We're going to get married! Don't you want to spend more time together?" I yelled at him.

"That's just it, Ally! We'll have all the time in the world to spend together when we're married! I need to go on this tour alone so it's quicker! I promise I'll be back in 6 months!" Austin yelled back.

"Fine. You know what? If I'm so much of a pain to drag around on tours, here!" I shouted at him as I threw the engagement ring.

End of Flashback.

After I ran out that day, I never saw him again. Of course I saw him on TV and magazines and newspapers, but never in person again.

A few years later, when I was 28 and Dallas and I already had Derek, I got a letter in the mail. It had the engagement ring inside, and a letter from Austin's mom saying he died in an accident a few months ago. She wrote how he never married anyone else, and only thought about me and that stupid argument we had everyday. Everyday he regretted it. He tried to contact me, but I never answered. I was so stupid!

I broke down crying. Dallas and Derek came out to see why I was crying but I waved it off. I attended Austin's funeral a month later, and reunited with Trish and Dez. We were all heartbroken. I was depressed for months after that.

But in another life I would be your girl

We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world

In another life, I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

The one that got away

The one, the one, the one

The one that got away

All this money can't buy me a time machine, no

Can't replace you with a million rings, no

I should've told you what you meant to me, whoa

'Cause now I pay the price

Even though Dallas and I have a ton of money, it certainly can't buy me a time machine. If I could only go back…I regret that day we fought. I regret not ever making up with Austin. Of course I loved Dallas, but Austin will always be my first love, the one that's special. I regret knowing that Austin was the one that got away.

In another life I would be your girl

We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world

In another life, I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

The one that got away

The one (the one)

The one (the one)

The one (the one)

In another life I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

The one that got away

Maybe in another life, Austin and I can be together again. But only in another life.

What did you guys think? This is AU btw. Please review!
