A/N: Hmm... So I got advice from Wonderstruck-Ambition to use songs and pick out a few words from it, and the title comes from By Your Side by Tenth Avenue North. This story is kinda different for me, usually I'm a one-shot kinda girl so this is kind of an experimentation.
This story came from the arc that should be coming up very soon, (Girlfriends and Girl Friends, Campers and Complications and Chapters and Choices) and my muse hands been bothering me to write one so...
Don't Turn Away, Chapter 1/3
She watched the couple that stood near the door with a sour face.
"What's up with the face?" Trish asked as she stood next to Ally behind the counter. Ally jumped in shock and turned to face her.
"What face?! I'm not giving Austin and his new girlfriend a face. I don't know what you're talking about!" She quickly said, turning so her back was to Austin and his girlfriend. Trish gave her a skeptical look.
"Yeah, and Dez isn't about to hide his sandwich in the saxophone again." Ally whirled around to see Dez with his arm a little ways down the saxophone.
"Trish!" He exclaimed before pulling the sandwich out, a guilty look on his face.
"Just admit it Ally, you're jealous of Austin and his new girlfriend."
"I am not jealous." She insisted.
"You're not jealous of what?" Austin questioned as he leaned against the counter.
"I'm not jealous of... my dad!" She exclaimed, seeing her dad coming down the stairs. "He's going to New York for the weekend for some kind of conference." Mr. Dawson stopped in front of the counter.
"Okay Ally I'm off. I'll see you Sunday night okay kiddo?" She nodded.
"Alright. I'll see you then dad." She said with a wave as he walked out of Sonic Boom.
Ally turned back towards the group who was watching her intently.
She went to say something when Austin pulled out his phone and smiled.
"I'll talk to you guys later. Kira wants me to meet her at Mini's." He said, walking towards the door.
"Austin don't forget we have prac-," the door opened and closed. "-tice at four." Ally sighed.
"He'll be here Ally." Dez reassured her. "You're one of his best friends. I don't think he'd just ditch you for Kira." Ally shrugged and turned towards a customer that had wandered in.
Trish and Dez turned towards each other with worried looks and both left, leaving Ally to her thoughts.
It was 4:30 as Trish started walking towards Sonic Boom. All she could think about was how she hoped that there was music floating from the practice room upstairs and that she wouldn't see Ally downstairs at the counter looking like a lost puppy.
She sighed as she saw Ally at the counter playing with her book and Trish walked in.
Ally looked up with hopeful eyes at her and when she saw that she wasn't Austin, she sighed.
"Aw, I'm sorry Ally." Trish said. She shrugged and looked up at her.
"I should've expected it." She said, walking up to the practice room.
Trish took a deep breath and followed, hearing sad music float from the piano above.
"Damnit Austin." She murmured under her breath. Ever since they had written 'Not a Love Song', Ally's sad music had disappeared. But of course the boy in question just had to ditch her for his new girlfriend.
Trish walked in to see Ally at the piano, her head bowed.
She pulled one of the chairs over so it sat across from Ally and she sat down, waiting for Ally to turn towards her.
She did and Trish sighed at Ally's disappointed eyes.
"Ally. What's going on? I know you get upset when Austin doesn't show up but you never get this upset." Ally took a deep breath and looked up at her.
"I figured out I like Austin." Trish smiled.
"When did you figure that out?" She asked.
"When we went to New York. I was so... jealous when you told Jessie she could duet with Austin and... I finally realized why."
"Then why don't you tell him?!" Trish asked, pulling her seat closer.
"Because I'm not sure he feels the same way and if he doesn't it could make our friendship weird and I don't want that."
"Ally I'm sure he feels the same way."
"Yeah and that's why he's dating Kira." She murmured. Trish sighed and Ally looked down at her knees.
"There is something I haven't told you." Ally hesitantly admitted. Trish sat up in her seat.
"And what is that?" She asked, leaning forward in her seat.
Ally sat on the piano bench, playing with her fingers.
"When we were in New York," she started, still looking down at her fingers. "Austin and I ndtakrvs." She mumbled.
"You and Austin what?" She asked. Ally took a deep breath and looked up at Trish.
"After we got separated, Austin found me. We were going to look for you guys and my heel got stuck and I fell. He caught me and then the ball fell and long story short." She paused. "We kissed." Trish jumped out of her seat.
"Finally!" She exclaimed. Ally's face showed how confused she became.
"Finally?" Ally questioned as Trish walked back and forth waving her hands.
"Dez owes me twenty bucks!" Ally jumped up at this.
"Whoa, you two bet on when we would kiss?! Austin and I don't even like each other!" Trish gave Ally a pointed look and Ally fell back into her seat.
"Okay so I like Austin." Trish smiled in triumph again. "But Austin doesn't like me." Ally added.
Trish's face fell and then a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
"Ally." Trish started. "I have a plan."
So tell me what you think! This has been sitting around for the past month or so but it didn't have much of a plot until about a week ago. (Most of that week I spent trying to figure out the title)
