Prologue
Life has a funny way of shattering dreams. Life lets you think everything is going smoothly and will end in happily ever after and then… BAM!You feel yourself on a rollercoaster, hanging on as you ride loop after loop that life throws at you.
This I know all too well.
This is why I will never love, never again.
Chapter 1 Young love and Broken dreams
Austin's P.O.V.
"AUSTIN… AUSTIN… AUSTIN…" The crowd cheers my name as I finish my last song for this concert but only one voice stands out and it doesn't come from the crowd. Off in the wings, clapping and also cheering my name is the best, most amazing, songwriter in the WORLD, and my best friend, Ally Dawson.
"You did great Austin." Ally says as I walk off stage.
"Aw, thanks Ally. Some of the credit goes to you, the best songwriter I have ever had." I really never could be where I am without her.
"Hm, I'm confused, isn't she the only one you ever had?"
I am suddenly aware that I am not alone with Ally. I turn around and see Dez with an arm around his waist and his other arm resting on it, supporting his chin with his hand.
"Ugh, Dez you're hopeless." Trish says. "Hey Austin, guess who you a spot on the Helen Show?"
No, not the Helen Show. It really brings up bad, well, kinda funny, memories about Ally and how she nearly destroyed the stage.
"Uh, Dez?" I ask, knowing that that should get under her skin. I turn back to Ally but I can feel Trish's glare boring into the back of my head.
"Hey, since the concert is over, you wanna go to the Melody Diner?"
"Sure," Dez replies, "But I have to go home first; I want to make sure my mom is ironing my socks first."
Ally rolls her eyes and I know that Trish is also doing the eye roll.
"She wasn't talking to you dummy." Trish smacks the back of Dez' head, then grabs his arm and pulls him farther back stage.
"So, Ally," I turn back, again, to her, as soon as Dez and Trish were out of ear shot. "You still wanna grab a bite to eat?"
Ally smiles, and it is a cute smile. "Sure Austin but I better get some pickles!"
I smile, happy that she is going to eat with me and because of her obsession with pickles.
"Then let's hurry and go before my mass of fans come and mob me." I grab her hand and drag her out of the back stage door. A couple of fans were already there, and as soon as they saw me holding Ally's hand, they started asking me if she was my girlfriend. I didn't answer but I rushed through them, never once letting go of Ally's hand and jumped into the car that was waiting for me.
"Wow, I will never get used to that." Ally then looks me in the eye. "How are you used to it?"
"I don't know, I guess I'm around it so much."I shrug my shoulders, feeling the urge to put my arm around Ally but I don't think she likes me. I know she likes me as a friend but I have this MAJOR crush on her and I'm afraid that if I tell her, it'll break our friendship, and that would be worse than never telling her that I like her.
"Uh, are Trish and Dez coming?"Ally looks out the car window searching for them but she will never find them in that mass of people.
"I don't know, but if we stay here any longer we won't be going anywhere."
Ally's P.O.V.
Austin surprised me by asking me to dinner and then again by grabbing my hand and dragging me outside to the waiting car.
Some of Austin's fans were over there and as soon as they saw Austin holding my hand, I knew that I was in trouble. Some asked Austin if I was his girlfriend while others just glared hate at me. Austin just ignored them and pulled my head long towards the car.
We both practically jumped inside, with Austin slamming and locking the door behind him.
"Wow, I will never get used to that." I sigh, and then look into Austin's beautiful hazel eyes. "How are you used to it?"
He shrugs and I know that he really has no clue. "I don't know, I guess I'm around it so much."
After he shrugs his shoulder, I find myself wish that he'd put his arm around me, but he's Austin Moon and I'm his songwriter. So what if I have a crush on him? Thousands of other girls do too. Plus, if I were to tell him than he might not return the feeling and our friendship would go down the drain.
"Uh, are Trish and Dez coming?" I turn to the window and look out, not really looking for Trish and Dez but as a means of excuse. If I kept looking at Austin and he'd ask me a question, I know that I would've tripped up and started chewing my hair, like I always do when I'm nervous.
"I don't know, but if we stay here any longer we won't be going anywhere." Austin replies.
"Ok, so where are we going?" I ask him, thinking that I might know just what he has in mind.
"Let's go to IHOP®!" Austin suggests with more than a little enthusiasm.
I roll my eyes at him and his love of pancakes. "You only want to go there to eat pancakes."
"I really like pancakes!" Austin tells me this with a straight look on his face.
"Ok, but I better get some pickles; you promised me that I'd get pickles." I poke him in the stomach, knowing full well that he is ticklish.
"Hey, Ally, stop that!" Austin bats my hand away but I keep on tickling him, laughing as he does.
Eventually, Austin starts to tickle me, even though I hate being tickled and he knows what happens whenever someone tickles me. I start thrashing my legs in every direction trying to kick Austin and make him stop tickling me. I finally make contact with his stomach and send him flying against the other car door.
"Oh my gosh, Austin, are you ok?!" I scoot over to him and see that he is doubled over, holding his stomach and slightly moaning in pain. I lift his head up and see that his eyes aren't focusing too well.
Austin's P.O.V.
As soon as Ally kicks me I realized that I really shouldn't have tickled her but my emotions got the better of me. They were screaming at me to take this chance to touch her when I normally can't. I really regret that now.
"Oh my gosh, Austin, are you ok?!" Ally slides across the seat towards me and lifts my head up and looks me in the eye. She has such beautiful brown eyes; I wish I could stare at them forever.
I finally realize what she said and that she is now getting very concerned about me.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but I'm never going to do that again." I smile but my stomach still hurts, causing me to grimace more than smile.
"I am sorry Austin, I'm so sorry, how can you ever forgive me?" Ally's eyes are filled with hurt and, wait is that worry?
"Yeah, Alls, you're forgiven," I lay my hand on hers and look deep into her eyes. "I will always forgive you. You're the best thing to ever happen to me."
As soon as I say that I instantly regret it.
Ally's P.O.V.
"Yeah, Alls, you're forgiven," Austin reaches his hand over and lays it on top of mine while staring into my eyes. I want to turn away but his eyes just capture me. "I will always forgive you. You're the best thing to ever happen to me."
Wait, what?! Did he just say what I think he said? Does he actually like me?
