Year From Now


I am sitting in the practice room with my all time favorite guy in the world, by best friend Austin Moon. I'm Ally Dawson, his songwriter. I also sing and perform as well but I'm not as popular as him but one day I soon hope to be. I just don't ever want to be over crowded with fame like some people. I never turns out good for those kind of people. I just want to be able to send a message to people and express my opinion and advice to people all over the world with my music. But I have to work for what I want. And that's what I have been doing for the past year.

"First day of grade eleven tomorrow. Are you excited as I am, Austin?" I ask my blonde best friend who is sitting next to me at our piano in the practice room.

"Me be excited for school? You'll never see me be excited for school. And don't count on it either." Austin replies.

"Come on, Austin. It can't be that bad."

"It's not bad. It's scary. Grades matter And I'm probably going to fail. At least I have my fame to fall back on if that doesn't work out."

"Austin, you can't always have your music career as parachute for something when you think you might fail at it. Austin, your not stupid. Your actually smart."

"Thanks, Ally. Now can we work on our song?" Austin laughs nudging me a bit.

"Yeah, we can." A few hours later Austin and I managed to finish our song. "This song is going to be such a hit." I smile as we stand up. I give Austin a big hug and he hugs me back.

"Ally, can I tell you something?" He starts.

I move a price of hair out of my face and say, "Yeah, sure."

"Okay, this is going to be really hard for me to say but, here it goes anyway. Ally." I nod my head. "We have been friends for a while now and I feel like we have something." I am distracted when my phone starts playing Can You Feel It, which is my ringtone of Austin singing. I put a finger up to stop Austin from talking which he does. He puts his lips together and takes a deep breath standing on his tippy toes and then standing flat on his feet.

I answer the phone and start to talk into the phone, "Hello. Who is this?"

"Trish. Don't you have voice mail?" Trish is my BFF.

"Yes, but Austin was talking to me and I didn't have time to look at who it was. Why are you calling?"

"I need to let you know about your interview with Ronnie Ramone tomorrow. You should probably get some sleep so you have lots of energy for the interview."

"Thanks for reminding me. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Sure thing." I hang up my phone and place it back into my back pocket.

"Who was that?" Austin asks curious.

"Trish. She's just reminding me to go to sleep because of my big interview with Ronnie Ramone. She says I should have a nice nights rest. And she's probably right. What was it you wanted to say?"

"Oh, nothing. You should probably go home. Do you want me to drive you?"

I nod, "Sure. Thanks."

"No, problem." We get into Austin's car and he drives me home. He pulls onto the side of the road and I get out. I turn around and he rolls down the window. "Have a good night. Good luck tomorrow."

"Thank you so much. I'll need it."

"Ally." Austin says frustrated. He gets out of his car which confuses me and walks around his car to me. He stands up and puts his hand to me cheeks, "You are not going to fail. I know you won't because I have heard you sing and play the piano and you are so awesome at it. And even if you don't make it the first time you can try out again and try even harder if that's possible. But you know one thing, You Won't Fail Forever Because You're Way Too Talented."

I'm caught in the moment as I look into Austin's eyes. I've never seen this side of him before. The part where I... "Uh, thank you. That's so sweet. You always know Uh, how to give me such great advice." I feel very overheated right now. Is that a good thing or bad thing? I give him a quick hug. "Good night."

"Night." He gives me a smile and waits outside until I get into the house. I close the door behind me and look out my living room window to watch him drive away. After he does and I change into a tank top and shorts and jump into my comfy bed. I sink into the familiar comfort of my Queen bed cuddled into my lime green silk blanket and memory foam pillow.


I wake up the next morning prepared for my interview to sing for Ramone Records. I grab a pair of clothes to change into and bring them to the bathroom. I was tip toeing so I didn't wake up my dad but realized that he isn't even in town at the moments so that doesn't matter. I have the house all to myself. I turn the shower on strip off my clothes. I hop the shower and clean. After I'm done I hop out of the shower and walk across my bathroom to grab my clothes. I lose my balance from the heat but regain it until I slip on a puddle of water and loose my balance and hit my head on the counter. After that it goes black.


I wake up and I'm in my room I think. I stand up and notice a woman standing at my window looking at me. "Who are you?" I ask.

"I'm Alice." She answers wit a soft tone.

"And who are you and why are you in my house?"

"I am a friend. And I'm here to show you wants in store."

"What do you mean? What happened?"

"I can't believe you haven't noticed yet."

I lower my eyebrows, "Noticed what?"

"Around you." I look around and realized that I'm not in my room anymore. I'm somewhere I've never been before. It doesn't seem familiar to me what's so ever. Green curtains and a brown door and bright walls. Wooden flooring. I dint have wood in my room.

"Where am I?" I ask.

"You're in the future of course."
