Alright guys, this is my new fanfic that I'm super duper ooooobeeerrrr excited about! Read, read, read, and let me know what you think! =]

Also, the first person who can guess where I got the title from, will get to be a character in my story. =]

Ally's POV

Having yet another layer of lip gloss applied to my lips by my stylist, so that they looked absolutely perfect, I walked onto the stage, taking a seat on the open chair.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ally Dawson!"

Everyone in the studio was applauding. I waved aimlessly, smiling huge for the cameras.

"Ally, it is great to have you here with us tonight. Wow. You've had quite a year haven't you?"

I laughed. "I guess you could say that."

"Let me see, since breaking away from Austin Moon, you've received your own record deal, starred in two movies, and you're now the star of a new TV show, is that right?"

I smiled. She was right. "Yes. And it has been the absolute best year of my life."

"So, what is this new show about?"

"Well, as you all probably know, its on the Disney Channel, and its called 'Music From the Soul'. Basically, my costar, Jake Ralan, and I are high school students, who share a passion for creating music."

"Speaking of Jake Ralan, my sources tell me that there may be an offstage romance budding."

I knew they would ask me this. I smiled. "Yes, we are dating."

"Well, congratulations to you both."

"Thank you."

"We're just about out of time. So, I have one final question. We all know that you and Austin used to be partners, and that you obviously aren't anymore, but none of us know why. Are you willing to share?"

"Well, Austin and I really didn't get along very well. We had nothing in common, except our love for music. Let's just leave it at that."

"Alright then. Ally, its been a pleasure having you on the show tonight. We all wish you luck on the new show and your music. Thank you everyone, and good night!"

Finally, done. I HATE when people ask me about Austin, but they always do. Of course they would, that's a huge story in today's society. Everyone in the country seems to be saying, "Oh no! Austin and Ally aren't partners anymore! But, they were SO PERFECT together!" Oh please, they know nothing of my life.

Maybe I should explain.

I grew up my whole life in Miami. My dad owns the music store in the mall called Sonic Boom. My best friend, Trish, and I practically live in that store. Since I love music, being around instruments all day suited me well.

However, I had horrible stage fright. I loved to play the piano and sing, I even wrote my own songs, but I was so afraid to perform in front of anyone.

One day Austin and Dez came into the store, and my life changed forever. Austin ended up "accidentally" stealing my new song, Double Take, and made it an overnight sensation. He eventually gave me credit for the song, and begged me to continue writing songs for him. Since I wasn't doing anything with my songs, I agreed.

I really shouldn't have done that.

Austin and I immediately got off on the wrong foot. He stole my song, didn't give me credit, I yelled at him for this. Even though I agreed to write songs for him, I didn't like it. I didn't like HIM.

This isn't one of those stories, you know, the ones where they end up being partners, and realize they were meant for each other. No. This one isn't a fairytale.

Austin and I constantly fought. I was shy and fragile, and he used that against me, purposefully trying to humiliate me. I couldn't stand up to him, too afraid of more humiliation.

Austin was the typically rocker, getting every girl he wanted. He treated everyone as if they were below him, and respected no one. I didn't have the nerve to stop him from treating me so poorly, I let him walk all over me.

Thinking back on it, I've realized that I HATE Austin Moon. I don't just strongly dislike him, I HATE him.

I did everything for him, writing songs for him, so that he would be noticed for his music, yet he treated me like dirt. We fought all the time, and obviously the hate was mutual.

We greeted each other with insults, we tripped each other in the hallways at school, we would close the piano covers on each other's fingers.

This wasn't all fun and games. We legitimately did not care for each other.

I know what you're probably thinking. Why would I have been partners with him if this was what was going on?

Well, for one, this did get me noticed. Austin couldn't take credit for his lyrics, so he grudgingly had to give that to me. My name was out there, I did interviews, people started recognizing me. I needed that. And before you tell me it was wrong to use Austin that way, remember that Austin was just using me for the lyrics, because he couldn't write a song to save his life. He just has the voice.

Plus, I was too afraid to tell Austin to just leave me alone, figure out a way to write his own songs. We were both so mean to each other, but I was just unable to stop it.

When he got his record deal, he up and moved to New York. They offered him a new songwriter, and he didn't even hesitate. He cast me aside.

Of course, I was ecstatic. Finally, I was rid of him, could focus on my own career. I worked up the nerve to perform at a little gig Trish had set up for me.

That little gig soon turned into huge crowds, which eventually led to a record deal of my own. I even still get to write my own songs.

Just for fun, I auditioned for a few little musicals that were to premier on the Disney Channel. I was shocked when I got a callback for one of them, and then actually got the lead role.

That was an amazing experience, starring in that movie. My cast was amazing, and I'm still friends with them today.

From there, I got the lead in another musical, which was just as amazing.

By this point, I wasn't the shy, timid girl I used to be. I was now confident, collected, and dare I say, pretty dang cool. I get hundreds of messages on twitter a day, and people constantly recognize me out in public, declaring their love for me. I sell out stadiums, while people scream holding signs saying, "WE LOVE YOU ALLY."

The Ally Dawson that I was in Miami, was effectively GONE.

Thank God.

Finally, I landed the starring role on the new TV series "Music From the Soul", starring with Jake Ralan. Jake and I connected immediately. Just a few short weeks after we first met, we shared an amazing kiss, that has continued on into the best relationship I've ever had. He really is amazing.

I live in L.A. now almost full time because of the show and my music, and so does Jake. We are constantly going walking on the beach together, or walking through malls, or just chilling, playing the piano together. Or, of course, we're at work, which is just as fun.

It's great to be with someone who loves music just as much as I do.

I still talk to Trish on a daily basis. I try making it to Miami as much as possible, to see my dad, and Trish, and Dez. Speaking of Dez, he was kind of like a sad puppy for a while when Austin moved to New York, but Trish and Dez have gotten close lately. In fact, they're dating now.

I haven't talked to Austin since we finally broke off as partners. I don't want to talk to him. I'm much happier now that he's out of my life.

i haven't seen him, or talked to him, but he's everywhere. Every magazine, every picture. People still even ask me about him. I know he's a huge success in the music business, so he must be super happy with all of his fame. I'm just glad I don't have to see him.

Plus, when I was with Austin, I was a shy, scared, fragile girl, who was too afraid to get on stage, or stand up for what I know is right.

Now I can.

I'm not the same girl anymore. I'm better. My life is better, now that Austin Moon isn't in it, and confident, beautiful, talented Ally Dawson is.
