Hey guys! This is my second story and I think it's a little different from my first, The Book Strikes Back. Enjoy!
Ally POV
My room is turning into a waste dump by the way I'm shuffling though my planner and ripping out pages and pages of unnecessary information. You see, my older sister is coming to town this weekend. She is currently in college and I haven't seen her in three years. I've got major catching up to do.
Her name is Abagail, but only I call her Abby. Abby has been very caring to me. When our mom left us when I was only four, Abby had to grow up early and take care of me when she was only eight. I owe my life to her, and that's why I have to make this party extra special. Turning twenty-one is a major accomplishment, and I plan on giving it to her.
I finally found the papers I needed for the party, but then my dad called me to come down and eat dinner.
"Ally! Time for dinner!" I started to walk downstairs and I sat down at my usual spot at the table. Spaghetti. Again. My dad had his usual conversation about Sonic Boom and how much money we made, about any conventions he's been on lately, and sometimes even things about how Austin is doing on the road to fame, putting in subtle hints that's it's never going to happen.
Today, we talked about my shift at Sonic Boom and that I'm going to have to work extra hours tomorrow. Tomorrow is Monday, and that's the worst day of all to be working, but my dad insisted that I work until closing time at 10:30.
It's around 10:00pm and the only person keeping me company is Austin. He agreed to stay 'til closing time and walk me home afterwards. I didn't get any sleep the day before. Planning for a twenty-first birthday party is exhausting. There was no one in the store besides Austin and me, so I decided that we go in the practice room and play some songs.
"Maybe we should do a cover at my gig next month. How 'bout a Mcfly song?" Austin loves the British band Mcfly, and only recently I've been listening to them. "There's this one song I really love. It's called I'll Be Ok." Austin took out his guitar and started to strum some chords.
When everything is going wrong
and things are just a little strange
It's been so long now
you forgotten how to smile
and overhead the skies are clear
but it still seems to rain on you
and your only friends all have
better things to do
when you're down, and lost
and you need a helping hand
when you're down, and lost
along the way
oh just tell yourself
ahhhhh, I'll be ok
Now things are only getting worse
and you need someone to take the blame
when you're lovers gone
there's no one to share the pain
you're sleeping with the TV on
and you're lying in an empty bed
all the alcohol in the world
could never help me to forget
when you're down, and lost
and you need a helping hand
when you're down, and lost
along the way
try a little harder
try your best to make it through the day
oh just tell yourself
ahhhhh, I'll be ok
you're not alone (you're not alone)
you're not alone (you're not alone)
your'e not alone
just tell yourself
ahhhh, I'll be ok
oh, just tell yourself
ahhhh, I'll be ok
won't you tell yourself
ahhhhhh
when you're down, and lost
and you need a helping hand
when you're down, and lost
along the way
try a little harder
try your best to make it
through the day
oh, just tell yourself
ahhh, I'll be ok
ahhh, I'll be ok
ahhh, I'll be ok
"So, how was that?"
A thunderous clap was heard in the distance."That was absolutely amazing." I couldn't believe my eyes. Now I know why my dad made me stay at the store later than usual. Abby was standing by the door with a huge smile on her face.
Austin POV
Ally literally dropped everything and ran to this stranger. And I almost dropped my guitar by how pretty she looks. She kinda looks a little like Ally, but just an older version. She has dark, curly brown hair. She was a little taller than Ally, and has a round, plump face. I couldn't stop looking at her.
"Oh my gosh! Abby you're here! You weren't supposed to be here until Friday!" Abby. So her name is Abby. Abby and Ally. Huh. Ally ran to Abby and gave her a big hug.
"Oh, I'm being rude. Abby, this is Austin. Austin, this is my older sister Abagail."
I gestured to shake hands, but Abagail pulled me in and gave me a hug instead. She smelled like the ocean and sea salt. She's a beach person, and that alone made my heart race. Then Ally started to say something, but I wasn't really paying any attention.
"I haven't seen my sister in a good three years, blah blah blah blah, when our mom left us, blah blah blah, she always got me ready for school, blah blah blah, she practically became the mom of the family, blah blah blah, now it's my turn to give her what she needs. Uh, Austin. Are you okay?" I snapped out of the trance Abby gave me.
"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine. Just tired. It's getting late. We should get going."
"I'll bring you guys home." said Abby.
After Ally's sister dropped me to my house, I went to my room and flopped on my bed. I kept thinking about how Abby looked and how she smelled like the ocean and her kinda smile and large brown eyes and... Uh oh... As much as I don't want to admit it, I think I have a crush on Ally's sister. How am I going to tell Ally this?
I really like the song I'll Be Ok from Mcfly. It makes me happy when I listen to it. Do you guys like it that I put Laura's real sister in this story? :) Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed my story, and more will come later on.
