So this is my first real fan fiction, and it's AU Auslly. I got the inspiration from the Lady Antebellum song "We Owned the Night". I was going to make it into a story all it's own, but I decided to make it into an Auslly fanfic and see what people thought about it. Maybe i'll still make it into an actual story one day. Anyway, thank you in advance for reading and reviewing ;).
"Trish, no! I don't want to go to this party!" Ally complained. It was a few weeks after her 18th birthday and almost the end of the school year. Trish was trying to convince her to go to some party she had found out about from someone at school.
"Come on, Ally, it'll be fun! It's a beach house for crying out loud! Just come for a while! Please!" begged Trish, clasping her hands together in a slightly melodramatic way to match her tone.
"Okay, okay. I'll go. But only for an hour or so. Alright?"
"Great!" Trish exclaimed, "We're gonna have so much fun!"
"Come on, Austin. Are you ready yet?" Dez called from Austin's living room.
"Yes, Dez. Just getting my shoe on!" Austin yelled back.
"So what, let's go! Just go without shoes, like me!"
"You're so weird!" Austin responded hopping off the last step pulling his shoe on. "Okay, let's go."
The music was very loud in the house, it was one of Austin's friend's cousin's or someone's house. There were red solo cups all over the place, however, for a big party the house wasn't trashed quite yet, albeit the party wasn't in full swing yet. When Austin and Dez walked in about six girls ran directly to Austin, seeing as he was the new Internet sensation. Dez looked at him and winked, then walked over to the bar, grabbed a cup, and filled it with some water. Dez wasn't a drinker and that was his way of having something to drink at a party, especially since the last few months since Austin had become famous over the Internet, and they had been invited to almost every party. Every girl was also incredibly interested in Austin now, even more so than before, which was pretty hard to believe with him being nice and hot and a singer. Of course, most girls just cared about the latter reasons.
Ally, on the other hand, was shy and reserved. She had her best friend, Trish, who was crazy and adventurous for the both of them. Ally had only had one boyfriend in her whole life, a boy named Elliot that she had what she liked to consider a "summer romance" with, however she knew she only called it that to feel like she was in some kind of Nicholas Sparks book. That's another thing about Ally, she was a hopeless romantic. She had an entire shelf full of Nicholas Sparks and even Shakespeare, along with classics like Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. She was a hopeful songwriter, however it seemed that it would never be a reality for her considering that even performing in front of her family or her best friend or even her stuffed animals gave her incredible anxiety. But she sang everyday in the practice room of her fathers music store.
When Ally and Trish walked into the party, no one turned their heads or moved to make a path, and that was the way that Ally liked it. She liked being a nobody, because, in it's own right, it was peaceful and private. She wished she could perform and be famous, but her desire to keep her life like this (along with her stage fright) was the real reason she never tried to make any kind of career with music. "Come on, Ally!" said Trish pulling her through the crowd and out onto the back porch where everyone was dancing. Somehow along the way Trish had acquired a beer, she looked into it curiously then took a sip. "Huh, not bad." Trish said matter-of-factly while looking around.
"Wow, look at the moon over the water." Ally sad in awe.
"Ally, you're such a romantic it's ridiculous sometimes." Trish retorted.
"Whatever, hey, who's that?" Ally asked Trish, grabbing her arm and pointing her toward a crowd of people around a boy with what Ally could only described as golden hair and the perfect look. He was singing a song that she'd never heard before and she decided to go listen. Trish followed, curious of what her shy, little best friend could have found interesting at a party like this.
"I can get your heart beat beatin' like that, yeah I can get your heart beat beatin' like that!"
Ally swayed along with everyone else dancing to his singing, it was actually quite good and she couldn't help wondering what their voices would sound like together.
"Would you, would you want it if I stood up above a crowd. Got up on a chair and if I shouted your name aloud." Austin continued singing. Ally was watching him move and complimenting his dancing in her mind. Suddenly their eyes met. Austin walked towards Ally and took her hand, pulling her into the small circle the kids around them had made, "Could you, could you take me, call me baby without a doubt. I'm shouting your name right now, shouting your name right now." Ally ducked her head and covered her eyes, hoping that would somehow make the crowd stop looking. Eventually, she looked up at the boy singing to her and met his gaze. He continued to sing, looking her straight in the eyes, and she wouldn't dare look away.
"Don't you get it, get it, I'm nothin' like them other ones
Raise upon the notion, I ain't hosting no reruns
I said it, said it, said it, wouldn't let it be all or none
'Cause I ain't no rerun, I ain't no rerun."
They were in their own world, at least in Ally's mind. She had never in her life been in front of people without some kind of extreme anxiety, but in this moment, looking into the eyes of this boy, she felt like there was no one else in the entire world. She couldn't help but think that this must have been what all the girls in her romance books had felt like, like there was no one else in the entire world, or even universe, but them.
"Hey-ay
Let me hear you like
Hey-ay-ay ay-ay
Can you do it like
Hey-ay ay-ay."
Austin finished singing and Ally hadn't realized it, but he was still holding her hand.
"Hi." said Austin.
"Hi." Ally replied, sheepishly.
"Come on, let's go somewhere a little more private." Austin said, taking her by the hand he was holding and leading her away from the crowd. Trish and Dez stood side by side watching their friends walk away.
Austin and Ally walked down the boardwalk towards the beach, still holding hands subconsciously. "Hey," Ally said, "can you stop holding my hand now?"
"Oh, sorry." replied Austin, "Anyway, my name's Austin. What about you?"
"Ally."
"Well, Ally, it's lovely to meet you." Austin said, cockily.
"Why, thank you." She said, attempting to mimic his tone. Austin smiled and so did Ally.
"Wanna go for a walk?" Austin asked, Ally nodded and they started walking down the beach. "So, how old are you, Ally?"
"Eighteen, what about you?"
"Same, I guess you're also graduating next month?"
"Yeah, I guess you are too?"
"Yep. So, what college are you going to?"
"I got into Juilliard, but I'm not sure if I could leave Miami."
"Are you kidding? It's Juilliard! You have to go! It's one of the best music schools in the country, in the world!"
"I know, I know." Ally replied, "But you don't know me. I'm great on paper, but in real life I'm... I'm nothing."
"Well, maybe I just met you, but I think you're something."
"Thanks, Austin." Ally smiled at him.
"Come on!" Austin yelled, "Let's jump in the water."
"Hey, Ally. Come on, take off you shoes and come in!" Austin yelled, standing in the water with the waves washing over his feet. Ally was about 15 feet away smiling and laughing at him and his attempt to get her to come in the water.
"No way." Ally replied.
"Come on, Ally." Austin almost whined.
"Fine, I'll take off my shoes but I'm not running into the water. My dress will get all wet!"
"Ok, ok. Come on though!" Austin said walking towards her slowly. Ally peeled her shoes off and put them in the sand next to Austin's flip-flops. Austin ran up behind her and picked her up.
"AUSTIN! PUT ME DOWN! I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!" Ally screamed. Austin walked into the water and put her down in the waves.
"Alright, alright. I put you down." He stated as if it was exactly what she had meant. Ally smiled and cocked her head, obviously not amused.
"Yeah, yeah. Thanks." Ally said, shyly smiling.
"Oh yeah?" Austin said laughing. He picked her up and spun her around. Water was flying everywhere around them and splashing in their faces. Looking into each other's eyes, Austin gently put her down, waves still crashing around their knees. And almost as if a wave had washed over his head and pushed it forward, his lips were on hers. She almost backed away, she almost stopped it, but she couldn't. She could only deepen it. Austin wrapped his arms around her again and lifted her up the rest of their height differences until her legs bent and were completely out of the water. Ally wrapped her legs around his waist and he carried her out of the water and onto the beach. He set her down on a blanket that someone must have left out from earlier that day.
"Austin, we can't do this." Ally was breathing heavily, they'd been kissing heavily for a couple of minutes and somehow along the way he ended up without a shirt on.
"I know, you're right, Ally. I'm so sorry." Austin said sitting up and putting his face into his hands.
"Hey, I mean. Maybe a little longer. No harm in that. Just, clothes have got to stay on, ok?" Ally said, cheeks burning red.
"Absolutely." Austin agreed and they resumed their activities.
The Next Morning (Approx. 5:30am)
When I see your face. There's not a thing that I would change, because you're amazing just the way you are!
Ally dug around her for her phone. When she realized that she wasn't in her bedroom, she looked next to her and saw none other than the boy from last night, Austin, oh my god, she didn't even know his last name! All she knows is that as of last night she lost something. Something that she would never be able to get back, and it was to a boy that she had just met that night. That she didn't even know the last name of. After a few rings Ally picked up her phone and saw that it was Trish, "Hey, Trish."
"Ally! Where are you! I left the party around 11 when I couldn't find you anywhere, I figured you had gone home but I called your dad and he said you weren't there, he thought you were with me. Don't worry, I covered for you but seriously, where the hell are you?"
"Um, I'd prefer not to answer that question right now, but, um, I'll meet you at the mall in 30, ok?"
"Um, okay, Ally. Bye."
"Austin!" Ally said and she shook him awake.
"Uh.. huh.. uh," Austin groaned as he woke up. He looked around and Ally could see the realization in his eyes as he realized what had happened last night. "I- I'm-"
"I gotta go." Ally said quickly. She stood up and gathered her things and dressed the rest of the way as fast as she could. Just before she left, as she was walking away, she turned around and their eyes met. In that moment, she knew they'd never speak again.
Or so she thought.
