A.N. #1: I Don't Own Austin, Ally, Trish, Dez, Kira, Dallas, Cassidy, Piper, Gavin, Elliot, Tilly, and every song that I use in this story. In case you didn't notice Quincy is just like Emmett from ABC Family's Switched at Birth. I'm not trying to step on the writer of Switched at Birth but I really like Emmett so I decided to make Quincy just like him. So in a way I don't really own Quincy either. I do however own every other character in this story. Now without further ado chapter one of The Moons & The Stars. This story starts the first day of sophomore year. For the sake of this story Austin, Ally, Trish, Dez, Kira, Dallas, Cassidy, Piper and Gavin all lived in Orlando not Miami.
Chapter 1: Carry On
Lily's POV
Tuesday September 4th, 2038
***BEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP***
I hit the alarm on my tablet off and sat up. It was 7:00 by the time I got out of bed and took a shower. I put on a red sun dress, white saddles, a jean jacket, some strawberry lip gloss, blush, mascara, eye liner, and eye shadow. I straightened my hair before grabbing my sunglasses, phone, tablet, backpack, and keys and headed into the kitchen. Up till a few months ago it's just been me and my mom but over the summer my mom's boyfriend Bobby and his nine year old daughter Summer moved in. I sat down in a chair next to Summer while my mom was sliding plates of waffles in front of us.
"Morning everybody."
"Hey Lily," they all said.
"You excited for your first day of 10th grade?" My mom asked.
"Yep."
"What classes are you taking this semester?" Bobby asked.
"Honors English 2, Geometry, Honors Biology, Spanish 2, & Choir, Band, and Honors U.S. History."
"That's sounds great."
"Yeah."
"Summer are you ready to start 4th grade?" My mom asked.
"Yeah. My teacher is Jenna's mom this year."
"That's cool. I hope she doesn't pick favorites."
"I'm sure she won't. My friend Cathy's mom is coming soon too pick me up can I be excused to get ready?"
"Sure."
Before heading upstairs she hugged my mom, Bobby, and me and we told each other to have a good day. Summer's mom died when she was four so she grew really close to my mom and I. I've always wanted a little sibling and I know Summer is going to be the closest one I'll get. My mom gave me a "I need to talk to you" look and we walked into the living room.
"Everything okay mom?"
"There's something I need to talk to you about."
"Okay."
"I got a call from Trevor's parents this morning. They wanted to see you today."
"Why?"
"I don't know. They just told me they wanted to see you."
"I haven't seen Trevor's parents since court."
"Do you want to see them?"
"I don't know mom."
"I know It might be a lot to think about now that you've finally got that knew boyfriend..."
"Luke."
"Yeah. I just though I should tell you in case you wanted to see them."
"Well speaking of Luke. I've got to go pick them up so."
"Okay. Let me know what you decide."
"Sure."
At around 7: 15 we all finished breakfast and Summer left for school. I put my plate in the dishwasher, made a cup of tea, and grabbed my stuff. I stuck my laptop and tablet in my backpack and put my sunglasses on before heading out to my car. I texted Luke telling him that I was on my way and headed out. When I got to Luke's aunts & uncles house I sat there for about five minutes hearing a lot of yelling and crashing before Luke and his brother Mark walked out. I got out of the car and walked up to them.
"Hey is everything okay?"
"Yeah. Their just not in a very good mood today."
"Okay."
I suspected something was going on but I didn't bug him about it. He gave me a hug and kiss before we walked back to my car. I dropped Mark off at Sunrise before heading to Trevor's parents house. I decided just to get it over with. As I parked in front Luke looked at me confused.
"Derek's house is a block that way Lil," he said pointing to the left.
"I know I just need to stop here for a few minutes."
"Why?"
"There's just something I need to take care of.," I said pulling out my phone and dialing my moms number.
"Hello."
"Hey mom. I decided to do it."
"Now?"
"School doesn't start for 20 minutes and I've got band practice after school."
"Okay. Tell me about it when you come home."
"Of course. I've got to go."
"Okay Lily. Love you. Be careful."
"Love you too. See you later."
"Bye."
After I hung up with my mom I turned to Luke and said...
"Stay here I'll be right back."
"Okay."
I took a deep breath and walked up to the house. After knocking on the door Trevor's mom Judy opened with a worried look on her face.
"Oh Lily your here."
"Yep."
"Come on in."
As I walked in I saw Trevor's dad Toby and his little sister Lisa in the living room.
"Hi Lily. How are you?" Toby asked.
"Okay I guess."
"Well I know you probably don't have a lot of time so I'll get straight to the point," Judy started.
"Okay."
"Trevor didn't know if you still had the same address so he sent this to us to give to you."
"What is it?"
"A letter. You don't have to read and respond to it if you don't want to. I just thought you should have it in case you did."
"Okay. Thanks I guess. Is that it?"
"Yes and I know we've told you a million times but we are really sorry about what happened."
"I know you are. Thank you."
"Your welcome."
"I'll see you around."
Judy handed me the letter and I walked out of the house. I leaned back against the door and took deep breaths before heading back to my car.
"What was that all about?"
"Nothing important," I said sticking the letter in my backpack before getting into the car. I took out my phone to text K.C. before starting the car and heading to Derek's place.
7:24
To: K.C.
From: Lily
Meet me in the courtyard during break. Code Blue!
When we were 7 we made codes for certain emergencies. Code Blue means personal emergency, code yellow means fashion emergency, code red means boy emergency, code green means family/friends emergency, and code purple means other emergencies. K.C. is the only one of my friends out of the other 5 who knows about everything that happened with Trevor. All six of us are close but in our group some of us are closer than the rest. There's Sophie and Ari because they are on the cheer team together and because they have the same taste in style, Ash & Franki because they are both karate masters and tom-boys, Ash & Ari because well they are actually sisters, and K.C. & I because we both grewup without our dads but like I said we are all very close. It was 7: 35 by the time I picked up Derek and we arrived at Marino.
"Thanks for doing this until my car gets fixed Lily," Derek said as we got out of my car and headed into the school.
"No problem."
For the next ten minutes before school started I met up with Ash, Ari, Franki, K.C. & Sophie by the library after I went to my locker and we looked at schedules.

***RINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG***
After the bell rang I walked with Ari and Sophie to English. It was pretty much the same old same old. Ms. Walkens gave us a syllabus with the rules and expectations, grading curve, etc, told us that we'd be doing a poetry unit, reading Romeo & Juliet and The Outsiders, and to finish the semester writing 2 essays. We wrote a get to know me paper, were checked out plays, and were assigned Romeo & Juliet parts. I'm the nurse. In Geometry we did the standard "What do you remember" test, were checked out textbooks and calculators and went over a syllabus. Finally in homeroom we went over rules and expectations and I started re-reading my favorite book The Fault In Our Stars. When it came break I went out to the courtyard and played Trivia Crack on my tablet until K.C. ran out.
"I'm here. I'm here. I got your code blue. What's going on Lil?"
I pulled out Trevor's letter from my backpack and handed it to her.
"When I was in the shower this morning, Judy called my mom and told her that she wanted to see me, however, she never said what for. So after I dropped Mark off at Sunrise I went over to the house where they gave me a letter written by Trevor for me."
"Have you opened it yet?"
"No. That's why I used code blue. Do you think I should?"
"What do you think it says?"
"If it doesn't say I just want to say I'm sorry for scaring you physically, mentally, and emotionally for life then I don't know what."
"You're in a good place now. You've got Luke, Summer, Bobby, and us. Trevor and all the crap that happened because of him is your past. Opening that letter and getting sucked back into all of that would not be a good thing at least in my opinion. Although, buy opening that letter you might be getting closure to the whole Trevor situation and can finally 100% move on with your life."
"Maybe."
"There are pros and cons to this letter but whether you want to open it or not is your choice."
"What would you do if you were me?"
"I wouldn't open it, but that's just me."
"I've got a lot to think about but thank you K.C."
"Anytime Lily."
We gave each other a hug before heading back to the building and over to our lockers.
***Rinnnnnnnngggggggg***
"See you in choir."
Biology we again were handed a syllabus, checked out textbooks, and started our D.N.A. unit. Lunch was a pizza slice with a spoonful of pineapples, french fries, chocolate milk, and a salad, in Spanish we made our first mayor amigo (notes packet), read through another syllabus, wrote down school supplies vocabulary, and played a game of memory, in choir we were handed Bohemian Rhapsody, Lean On Me, Hallelujah, and Heaven sheet music which we started practicing, in band we were handed a Summer In Valley City, March, Masquerade, and Postcards to start practicing + of course syllabuses, and of finally in U.S. History we were checked out a textbook, went over, what do you know, a syllabus, and started discussing The Boston Tea Party and The Revolutionary War. It was 4:00 by the time the three of us were at my car. We have band practice at 5:00 – 6:00 every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday since sports teams practice every Monday, Wednesday & Friday after school. All I was thinking about on the way to Sunrise wasn't "I wonder what we are going to sing on Saturdays gig" like it usually is, but was Trevor's letter. I knew K.C. was right. There are pros & cons to this whole situation. Was getting sucked back into all this really worth it? Only I could decide.
"Lily, are you okay? You seem a little distracted." Luke asked as I pulled into the parking lot at Sunrise.
"Yeah. I was just thinking about Saturdays gig that's all."
Just like with me this morning he didn't look convened, but decided to drop it.
"I'll go get Mark," he said.
"Okay."
About five minutes latter Luke and Mark came back. I dropped Derek of first then 10 minutes latter I arrived at Luke and Mark's house. I saw an older man sitting on the porch drinking a bear and smoking a cigarette.
"Is that your uncle?"
"Yeah. He looks like he's in a better mood."
"That's good. Well I've got some stuff to do before practice so I'll call you latter."
"Sure. I'll talk to you latter."
He gave me a kiss on the cheek before him and his brother got out of the car and started towards the house. I gave him a small smile and wave before driving away. When I pulled into the driveway I saw that Bobby or my mom wasn't home yet. I walked in to see Summer and Cathy on the couch watching Girl Meets World.
"Hey Summer, Cathy."
"Hey Lily. Your mom told me to tell you that two of her employees got called in sick so she is going to be home late," Summer said.
"Thanks Summer."
I grabbed an apple and bottle of water from the fridge and headed into my bedroom. I pulled the letter from my backpack and stared at it. After coming up with a pros and cons list in my head I finally knew what I was going to do. I grabbed my phone and walked outside to the dumpster.
"Hello," K.C. answered.
"I know what I'm going to do about the letter."
"What?"
"I thought about what you said and I realized that you were right. I'm in a good place right now and I don't need to be drug back into the past by reading this letter. So I'm standing in front of the dumpster ready to through it away. Ready to let go of the past and carry on."
"That's great. I'm so proud of you Lily."
"Thank you."
"I'll see you soon at practice."
"KK."
After hanging up with K.C. I through away the letter and walked back into the house not looking back. If you think that me throwing away the letter was it, I'd hold on tight because this is just the beginning.
Saturday September 8th
(Yes I decided to skip band practice)
"Hi everybody welcome to the grand re-opening of Shredders Beach Club. We're going to sing a new song called Carry On."
There's always gonna be some canyon in the way.
There's always gonna be a river I cannot cross.
Somewhere along this path that's chosen me
I know I'm gonna fall down, feel lost, feel weak.
But wherever it leads.
No one said this would ever be easy, my love!
But I will be by your side when the impossible rises up.
We will travel this life well-worn,
No matter the cost, no matter how long.
We will leave our footprints behind
And carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on!
Some will write you off before you ever start.
Some will say the journey's just too hard.
Somewhere between right here and the other side
There will be fear and doubt in the deep dark night.
But we will survive, yeah!
No one said this would ever be easy, my love!
But I will be by your side when the impossible rises up.
We will travel this life well-worn,
No matter the cost, no matter how long.
We will leave our footprints behind
And carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on!
We may fall behind,
Lose miles along this road.
We will be alright,
I will never let you go.
No one said this would ever be easy, my love!
But I will be by your side when the impossible rises up.
We will travel this life well-worn,
No matter the cost, no matter how long.
We will leave our footprints behind
And carry on, and carry on
A.N. 2: Well that was the end of chapter 1. I hope you liked it. So if you hadn't noticed it yet I'm going to try to make the title of every chapter match one of their songs. So What do you think happened between Lily & Trevor? Do you think she made the right decision throwing the letter away without reading it? Next chapter will be in Luke's POV + will something happen between Sophie and her long time crush Quincy? You'll have to wait and see.
QOTC: How do you think Austin & Ally will end?
MA: I'm thinking graduation and then Austin & Ally World Tour
