You're the bright side of everyday, me without you just isn't the same. I sang our song that Ally and I wrote when Demonica dixson tried to sposer me.

"Austin, You're going to be AMAZING at the Jam-A-Thon on saturday." Ally said hapily. "Sorry you didn't make it last year" Ally said to me.

I turned to her and smiled "Thanks, Als. And you know who I can thank for all these great songs" I asked.

"hmm, I don't know, who?" She asked.

"..Trish" I teased.

She snaped her head at me and had her mouth gaped and pushed me off the bench and I fell on the bean bag on the ground beside the bench.

"Shut up." She said laughing as she pushed me.

"Hey!" I said also laughing.

We sat there for a few minutes in silence. I guessed Ally was thinking 'Cause that girl never stops talking.

I decided to break the silence.

"Let's talk about the show tomorrow." I said.

"Okay so..um who's gonna be at the show on saturday?"

"Oh, umm, Lindsey Cole, um, Joey Lee, Toby Ross, Sarah Markavic, and Sephanie Reed" I said.

Ally just sat there and listend to what I was saying..She seemed so focused on what I was saying as if she were studying my every word. She looked so cute when she was focused.

"Oh, Cool. Soo do you know what they're singing?" She asked.

"Nope, you?"

"No, That's why I asked you!" She said sitting down beside me.

"Ally! are you here?" We heard her dad call.

"Yeah!" She called back.

"Where?"

"Austin and I are in the practice room!" I She answerd.

"well, Please watch the store for me while I go to the food court" He yelled upstairs.

" (Sigh) Fine!"

Wow.. Ally not wanting to work? That's the first.

She got up and walked out and I followed close behind.

We were walking down the stairs.

"Austin" She said turning to me. "Can you back up alittle, please..'Cause you're stepping on my heels..literaly 'Cause I'm wearing High-heels"

"Sorry" She stepped forward a step and then I continued.

I walked over to the guitars and browsed.

2 hours later it was lunch time.

"Austin, can you go and get me some lunch, Please? 'Cause I'm starving" She asked.

"Sure!" I strode outta the store.

Ally's POV

I asked Austin to get me some food.

I waited for Austin to come back when Trish walked in.

"Hey Ally, Guess who got a job at WE B TOYS!" She said.

"hmm, Well,my guess is Austin because he's been gone for about 45 minutes now" I teased.

"No, me!"

"I knew that, I was kidding, So Hows it-"

"Hello" I heard a boy say in a flirtious tone cutting me off.

"umm hi" I said turning around.

"So..you gotta boyfriend?"

"No"

"Well today is your lucky day..I'm Toby Ross, and You're my new girlfriend"

Then Austin walked in.

Thank god he did, this guy was making me nervous and I knew Austin would protect me no matter what. Wait! He didn't have my food.. Austin Monica Moon you're in soo much trouble later.

"Hey! Leave her alone." He said.

"No!"

I could tell Austin was angry, He always gets angry at guys he knows are making me nervous. He's so sweet.

"Leave her alone before I personaly throw you out the door." He said bitterly.

"..Who're you?"

"Austin Moon. And That is Ally Dawson and I want you to leave her alone." Austin said.

Toby just stared at him. "Right. Now" Austin said coldy.

Toby turned around and began to walk past Austin then turned around and punched Austin in the nose.

Austin fell to the ground.

"AUSTIN!" I screached. I jusmped down beside him and rubbed his arm.

"Get out of my store right now." I said with hurt and anger.

"Make me." He said.

"Trish" I said.

"got it." She said.

She walked over and grabed Toby's arm and pulled it behind his back.

She dragged him to the door.

"She. Said. Get. OUT!" and on that 'out' she took her foot and shoved him out the door.

"Way to go, Trish!" I said.

Austin groaned.

"Austin? Are you okay?" I asked concerningly.

"Yeah..I think so..." He didn't look as if he was okay.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure" He didn't look so sure.

"Then let me see your nose." I said to him helping him up from lying on the ground to an up-right sitting postion.

"No..I'd rather not" he said quickly.

"Auuuustin" I said holding out the 'u' in his name.

"Fiiine" He moved his hand from his nose and it was red and it was bleeding.

"Austin! C'mon. You're coming to my house." I said.

"What 'bout the store?" He asked.

"ooh Right, well I'll just close up early I mean..It's almost closing time anyway." I said.

"Okay."

I closed up shop and brought Austin to my house.

Austin's POV.

I sat on Ally's nicly made bed and waited for her, holding a tissue in my nose to stop the bleeding.

I looked around her room.

There were blankets. Music sheets. the guitar I got signed by Bruno mars for her.

I saw the case for the guitar and half a heart that I gave her for her birthday on her shelf. She wears it all the time. I have the other half on my key-chain that I have for my house keys.

I saw some pictures of, my guess, family. she had on her night-stand a picture of my first concert and us at our little after-party. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

Ally, Dez, Trish, and I were all sooo excited for my first time preforming and afterwards we all had a party at the sonic boom.

In the picture, Ally's on my back smiling and I'm laughing and I'm trying to hold onto her to keep her from falling, Trish had an ice cream cone and Dez had ice cream on his face frowning and Trish was laughing, and my band members were all laughing.

I smiled at that memory. That was probably the best time we've ever had.

I walked over to framed pictures on her dresser.

There were pictures of her and Trish, Dez and I, Ally and I, All of us together hugging but Trish looks as if she was going to kill Dez. I also saw a pic that maybe Mr. Dawson or Trish took of me and Ally writing a song in the practice room. and on her wall low beside her bed was another picture where we fell asleep while in pulling an all-nighter and totally passing out on the couch.

" those were good times when we first met but now they're even better" I heard Ally say.

I spun around.

"yeah..I love the picture of us 1: Asleep..worst all-nighter ever"

"I know we couldn't think of anything"

"yeah and my second is the one on your night-stand"

"yeah! that's my favourit. That was probably the best time we've ever had!"

"Totally."

"okay so..here sit down."

I followed her instructions and sat down.

"okay lemme see your nose." She took the tissue and threw it away.

She began to clean the blood off my nose.

I groaned at the pain.

"Oww!" I whined.

"Oh, Sorry, Austin, He got you good didn't he?" She asked sweetly. I could tell she was just trying to confort me.

"It's okay" I smiled. "ow"

"So, today is friday..and the Jam-a-thon is tomorrow.."

"Hey, Ally?"

"yeah?"

"Can I stay here tonight? So we can practice you know.." I tryed to sound like there was nothing wrong but there was.

"Austin, I know somthing's up. Is it your dad again?" She asked.

I looked down at my hands.

"yes" I said quietly. I looked up at her concerned face. "I don't get it. When I was a kid-"

"And you're not now?" Ally asked teasingly.

"Ha. ha. very funny." I said.

"haha. Continue."

"Anyway. When I was a kid, He always said. 'All ways follow your dreams and don't stop till you get it..just don't do anything stupid to get it'. And he doesn't say it now..All he says is that I'll NEVER make it into the music biz and that I'm talentless" I looked down at my lap.

Ally put one hand in mine and used the other to lift my head.

"Austin, You're the most talented boy I've ever met and your dad is wrong. You will make it. I believe in you." her words were reasuring.

She always knew how to make me feel better.

We stared into each others eyes and almost kissed.

Until...
