A new story? I think so :) Sorry it took forever to upload, I have been super busy with finals and school, but that is all over now :D Also- This is not the continuation of New Places & New Surroundings. This is a brand new story hehe.
Austin sat at his desk, fiddling with his pens and pencils, trying to think of a way to tell Ally, Trish, and Dez the big news. His dreams were finally coming true. He was going to go on a world tour with his band, but doing so meant he had to move to Los Angeles. He already told his family, which they did not take too well, but they knew he was reaching his dream. That was all that mattered. If Austin was happy then they were too.
Ally leaned over her desk and looked at him. She noticed something was wrong with him, but she didn't know what it was. She knew that he trusted her enough that he'd tell her immediately if it was really bothering him.
"Austin," she whispered. "You seem nervous? Are you okay?" she looked at him in concern. He started at her thinking of all of the things he wanted to say. Instead he pushed those thoughts out of his head and simply nodded at her and smiled.
Second period ended and he went to go find Dez to tell him the news first. He wanted to tell everyone but Ally. He was scared. He was going to leave his songwriter. Jimmy suggested she go with him, but Ally wanted to go to college and Austin did not want to ruin that for her. He already stole her song once, but hey, look where it got them.
"Dez," Austin sighed. He was scared, so scared that he started to get goose bumps. He was leaving tomorrow. He should have told his friends months ago, but he was nervous that they would stop talking to him or treat him differently. He was scared about how Ally would react. He knew deep down that she had some sort of feelings for him and he knew for a damn fact that he was in love with her. Breaking her heart would be the worst thing to ever happen to him.
"What's up, buddy?" he gave Austin a cheeky grin, but frowned when he saw that Austin was in a state of distress.
"I'm going on tour," he stuttered, looking down at the ground, kicking a rock. He looked up at Dez and saw that he was grinning. "By myself, with my band. I leave tomorrow," he added and suddenly, Dez started to frown.
"I figured that, bud, but I'm happy for you. Knock 'em dead!" Dez sighed trying to sound happy for him, but he wasn't. He was annoyed that Austin probably knew about this for months, but didn't have the nerve to tell his best friend.
"Why didn't you tell us?" he looked at Austin, who was now sitting on the bench. His head cupped in his hands. Dez knew Austin was trying not to cry. He knew it was serious because Austin Moon never cries.
"What's wrong with Austin?" Trish came waltzing over after talking to her boyfriend, Dominic. Dez had a sense of jealously when it came to Dominic. He never liked Dominic and he never will. Dez secretly loved Trish, but hated to admit it because she was so rude and mean to him sometimes.
"He's going on tour and he doesn't know how to tell Ally," Dez simply replied, patting Austin's back.
Austin just sat there, groaning in frustration. He was so angry with himself that he wanted to cry. His friends knew he was in love with Ally, actually, everyone, but Ally knew.
"The best thing he could do is take her out for dinner one last time," Trish sighed, sitting down next to Austin.
They saw Ally from a distance and quickly nudged Austin to clean up his act. Dez moved over so Ally could sit next to him. Both of them knew Ally was able to calm him down.
"Hey Austin, I saw that you stormed out of class earlier, is everything alright?" Ally smirked, rubbing his back. He loved when she did that; it always relieved some of the stress from him.
"Yeah," he lied. "Just a little stressed about things, no big deal," he smiled.
"Hey, listen, what are you doing tonight?" he added.
"Nothing important, why?"
"Do you want to go out to dinner…with me?" he said.
"As in a d-d-date?" she stuttered and began to smile.
"Yes, as in date," he smiled. "I'll pick you up around five," he said before he walked off.
He was going on a date with Ally. His first real date, but then he realized it would be his first and last date with Ally. He had to make everything special. He wanted everything to be perfect.
He showed up at her house at exactly five. He was wearing the usual: a button down, jeans, and sneakers. He was nervous to tell her the truth. Ally was wearing the usual herself: a floral dress, boots, and a cardigan. He mentally slapped himself for not asking her out sooner.
Halfway through dinner, Austin grabbed Ally's hand. He felt his heart racing, he wanted to tell her that he loved her rather than he was leaving, but the truth had to come out soon.
"I love you," was all he managed to say. He looked up at Ally who was tearing up. He didn't know if he hurt her in anyway or if she loved him too.
"Austin," her voice trembled. "Why now?" she sighed.
"Because I love you Ally. I love you! I love you! I love you!" he started to raise his voice, causing the people around him to stare.
"Austin, you're making a scene," she blushed.
"Come on, let's get out of here," he winked, leaving the money on the table.
When he reached her house to drop her off, she noticed he looked guilty about something. He was guilty. He still had no idea how to tell her that he was leaving tomorrow morning.
"Goodnight," he smiled, pulling her in for a hug.
"Goodnight, Austin," she blushed and kissed his cheek. This was his time; he had to do it before he left. For the three years he has known her, he always wondered what it was like being her boyfriend and kissing her.
He cupped her face and pulled her closer. Their lips were barely touching before she latched her arms around him. "I love you," was all she said before he kissed her.
"I love you too. Forever and always," he grinned before kissing her again. This kiss was different, he poured every emotional into it, letting her know how he truly felt, and guilty was one of them.
When Austin left, Ally went up into her room to call Trish and tell her the news. She kept thinking to herself that things are now going to be different. Her and Austin would be together and she wouldn't have to worry about accidently telling him she liked him.
"Austin told you he was leaving? How are you handling it?" Trish said, causing Ally to feel as if she was going to throw up. All she could think was that he kissed her and left.
"He's leaving?" she started to cry.
"Tomorrow morning, he's going on a world tour and after that he's moving to Los Angeles," Trish said sympathetically. Ally sat there, sobbing. She didn't understand why someone, especially Austin would do that to her.
"He told me he loved me," her voice faded.
"Nothing else?" Trish sighed.
"No. He kissed me and left…that jerk!" Ally yelled and hung up. She sat on her bed and continued to cry. There was nothing she could do. All she could do was cry and hope that he made a mistake. She would hope that he would come home from tour and sweep her off of her feet, kiss her, and tell her he loves her. But that would never happen; he was going off to tour the world without her…his best friend and songwriter.
