Hey guys! I've brought you the first chapter of my first story on my new account! I really hope you guys like it. Don't forget to review!

Enjoy! :D

"Come on, Ally! We're gonna be late if we don't leave now!" my fourteen year old sister, Riley, yells to me from downstairs.

I roll my eyes and grab my keys from my desk. "Calm down, Riley. We'll get there. You'll still get to see Austin," I tell her once I'm down the stairs. You see, my mother bought Riley tickets to an Austin Moon concert. That's not all, though. She also entered Riley into a concert where two winners get chosen to hang out with Austin after his concert backstage. And guess what? She won. Riley wanted to take her friend, Meghan, but she's on vacation with her family in Hawaii. So, my mom thought it was a fabulous idea to have me go with her instead. Horrible idea. I'd rather hang out with Trish than go to this stupid concert.

"Let's go!" Riley exclaims. My mother walks in the room just as Riley is trying to pull me out the door.

"You two have fun. Be safe," she says, chuckling at Riley's excitement.

"Is it too late to find someone else to go with her?" I ask desperately. My mom just laughs and tells me to keep an eye on Riley. She's fourteen. What's the worst that could happen?

Once we get there, I instantly regret coming, even though I had no choice. There are so many girls here, it's unreal. And almost every one of them is wearing a shirt that depicts Austin Moon. So, obviously they're all here for the concert. This is just great. We get in line to get in and by the looks of it, we're probably going to be waiting for at least an hour.

"Oh my god! I see him!" some random girl exclaims, which causes all the girls around her to scream and fan girl. I roll my eyes. Could this get any worse?

"I'm so excited," I hear Riley say. I look down at her to see a bright smile on her face. I instantly smile back. It's nice to at least see her happy. She's been bored ever since Meghan left a few days ago. This is all she had to look forward to this week.

About thirty minutes pass by and we're still in line. I'm starting to get really impatient. I don't get why there are so many people here. I mean, Austin isn't even that famous. I told Trish about the concert and she had never even heard of him. The only reason I know who he is is because Riley is obsessed with him. Her room is literally covered with posters of him. It's a bit ridiculous in my opinion.

We've been waiting for forty-five minutes now, and we're finally at the front of the line. We show the lady our tickets and she lets us through with a smile.

Riley gasps. "Can I get a shirt, Ally?"

"I don't know, Ry. They're super expensive," I say. It's thirty-five dollars for one shirt! That's outrageous.

"Please Ally?" she begs, giving me her stupid puppy dog eyes.

I sigh dramatically. I guess one shirt will be okay. "Fine."

"Yes!"

"Best. Concert. Ever!" Riley shouts. The concert had just ended about ten minutes ago.

"Well, it's not over yet. We still have these backstage passes for after the show," I say, looking around for an employee, so I can figure out where to go. I eventually spot a guy in uniform that looks like the freaking Hulk. I walk up to him cautiously and show him the passes.

"Follow me," he says, and leads us to the stairs that go on stage. I wonder what it would be like to actually perform on stage. I'll probably never know. You see, I write songs and I love to sing, but I have terrible stage fright. I don't think I'll ever be able to actually get on stage and sing in front of people. I guess my dream will always remain exactly that. A dream.

"This way," the guy says, snapping me back to reality. We follow him to a door towards the back corner of the stage.

"I'm about to actually meet Austin Moon. I can't believe it," Riley says, an excited and nervous look on her face. I just nod and follow the guy through the doorway. We walk down a hallway and stop at another door.

"Here you are," the guy says, and walks back the way we came.

"What now?" Riley asks.

I shrug. "Knock, I guess." I bring my fist up to the door and hit it three times. I hear talking on the other side, footsteps, and then the door opens. Standing there is a boy with red hair who looks about my age.

"You must be the contest winners," he says. He moves aside to let us in. "I'm Dez, Austin's best friend."

I nod. "I'm Ally, and this is my sister, Riley. She's a huge fan of Austin's."

Dez smiles and leads us further in the room. It's pretty nice in here. There's a couch along the left wall with a coffee table in front of it, along with a small television on top of the table. There's a door on the right wall that I'm assuming is a closet. Along the back wall is a small kitchen area.

"Austin went to go talk to his manager. He'll be back soon," Dez says.

"Wait, then who were you talking to when I knocked on the door?" I ask, looking around the room for another person.

"My pet hamster. He should be around here somewhere," he says, and starts looking around frantically. "Mr. Kibbles!"

I give him a weird look. I glance over at Riley, who's giving him the same look. Just then, the door opens.

"Dez, I'm back!" I turn around to find the famous Austin Moon standing in the doorway. "Oh, hey. You guys must be the contest winners."

"Yeah, my name is Riley," Riley says a little too excitedly. Austin nods and looks at me. "Oh, yeah. This is my sister, Ally."

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Riley. You, too, Ally," Austin says, smiling at me. I give him a small smile in return. "So, I see you've already met Dez."

"What?" Dez asks, looking up from under the coffee table.

"Dez, what are you doing?" Austin asks, walking over to him.

"Trying to find Mr. Kibbles!" Dez exclaims and looks under the couch.

"Who is Mr. Kibbles?" Austin has a really confused look on his face.

"My pet hamster," Dez says in a 'duh' tone.

"You don't have a pet hamster."

"…oh."

"So, what do you guys wanna do?" Austin asks, still looking at Dez.

I shrug. "I don't know."

His eyes light up just then. "I know! Come on." He leads us out the door, all the way to the back parking lot of the pavilion. He pulls a set of car keys out of his pocket, tossing them in the air and catching them smoothly.

I give him a look. "What exactly are we doing?" I look over at Riley and she still looks super excited.

"You'll see. Get in." He walks up to a really nice looking silver Chevy Camaro, and unlocks the doors. Damn, this thing is nicer than my Mustang. We all pile in, Dez taking the front and Riley and I taking the back. "Everyone buckled?" He looks at me through the rear view mirror, and smiles. Why does he keep looking at me like that? It's starting to freak me out a little.

"The boardwalk?" I question, as Austin pulls into a parking spot.

"Uh, yeah! Come one, it'll be fun!" he says, smiling at me for the, what, fourth or fifth time now.

"Yes! The boardwalk!" Dez shouts, and he's out of the vehicle in an instant. We all climb out, me still questioning all of this. Aren't backstage hangouts supposed to be backstage? This Austin sure is weird.

"Aren't people gonna recognize you?" I ask. He shrugs and puts on a pair of sunglasses. Like that's gonna work.

I lean over to Riley and whisper, "I don't know about this guy, Ry. He's making me question."

"Why?" she whispers back.

"Just a vibe," I say.

The rest of the day goes okay, I guess. Austin keeps giving me those looks and Dez is being super weird. I guess that's just his personality. When we get back to the pavilion, it's around eight o'clock, and I just feel like going home.

"We need to do this again!" Austin exclaims, again, looking at only me. What is his problem?

"Yes!" Riley shouts, smiling really wide.

"Alright, Ry, we should probably get home. Mom's probably worried," I say, and start to head to the front parking lot where my car is located. We say goodbye to Austin and Dez and head out. We get to my car, and Riley gets in the front seat. Just as I'm about to slip into the driver's side, I look up and see Austin running across the parking lot. What the heck? What is he doing?

"Ally!" he shouts. I tell Ry to wait in the car and walk over to Austin.

"What are you doing?" I ask, totally dumbfounded.

"I was being serious when I said we should hang out again," he says, pulling out his phone.

"Okay?"

"But I was hoping that maybe it could be just me and you." My eyes widen to the size of saucers and I look at him in disbelief.

"What?" I ask, utterly confused.

He hands his phone to me, and I look at it, confused. "You have to give me your phone number," he says.

I look back at Riley and she gives me a questioning look from inside the car. I turn back to Austin. "Are you asking me out?"

He shrugs. "I think you're cool and I wanna get to know you better."

I look at his phone and sigh dramatically. "I can't believe I'm doing this." I enter my number into his phone and hand it back to him. He smiles wide at me.

"I'll talk to you later then," he says.

I nod and walk back to my car. What am I doing?

Hope you guys liked it! See ya next chapter! :D
