The Last Time
Author's Note: Hey, a new song-fic. Don't blame me for writing two song-fics in under 24 hours, blame Taylor Swift's new album! Hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I don't own the song, it belongs to Taylor Swift and Gary Lightbody, and I don't own "Austin & Ally"!
I find myself at your door
Just like all those times before
The blonde twenty-five-year-old stalked down the street he was so used to, he was wearing a plain blue t-shirt, with a pair of his old, ripped jeans along with a leather jacket, his blue Nike Jordan's, and a black and white string hat.
(A/N: If you don't know what a string-hat is, they are the one's that Ross Lynch wears, basically a regular hat with that two bit's of material plaited down to his collarbone.)
His cheeks were a rosy red shade as it was so cold in December where she lived, his hands were like blocks of ice, and his jacket was tightens around his torso and he buried his hands deeper inside his pockets.
He then found himself outside that same house she moved into six months ago, from their apartment, now it's her house, the same house he's been apologizing to all those times before. He remembered each like they occurred the previous day.
I'm not sure how I got there
All roads, they lead me here
He was never sure how he ever got to her door, he never knew what he would say to her when she opened the door. But every single thought he had in the day, it was surrounded by her voice, and her face. Her crying face that broke his heart so much.
Every road his mind could possibly take him to, it did, and he always ended up here. Staring at her door, her wooden door, visualizing her face when she opened the door.
I imagine you are home
In your room, all alone
And you open your eyes into mine
And everything feels better
Before building the courage to knock on the door, he imagined her frail body cross-legged on her bed upstairs, in her bedroom, all alone. By herself. Lonely. He imagines seeing her opening chocolate-brown, gazing into his hazel ones.
And everything would make sense, and be better again.
And right before your eyes
I'm breaking
No past, no reasons why
Just you and me
In his mind, he would stand there before her, and she would see how broken, and how damaged his heart was. From that moment, there would be no broken promises; no lies; no past, all of that would simply disappear.
There would just be him and her. The rest of the world was disappear. Everything bad in their past, would dissolve into nothing.
This is the last time I'm asking you this
Put my name at the top of your list
This is the last time I'm asking you why
You break my heart in the blink of an eye
He knew that it would the last time he would find himself here, this is their last chance at this love. This was his last chance with the love of his life. It's very complicated - their relationship. It would be the last time he knocked on her door, the last time she asked him why he was there.
Because they could break each other's hearts in a bat of an eye, and when your heart is broken by the one you love the most - it hurts more than it should. Especially for them, because they loved each other more than they should. They loved each other so much, it hurt.
You find yourself at my door
Just like all those times before
You wear your best apology
But I was there to watch you leave
She was upstairs in her bedroom, looking at him from her window, she remembered the last time he came to apologize. He said his best apology he could think of, but she was there to watch him leave and walk down the street.
She missed him, she loved him, but she didn't believe a word he said when he decided to knock on the door straight away. She was going to listen when he knocked today, he's trying to gain courage down there.
And all those times I let you in
Just for you to go again
Disappear when you come back
Everything is better
She remembers every single time he's knocked, telling her he's sorry, that he loves her and that he made the wrong decision to let her go. And all the times she's let him in, just to watch him leave again.
And right there before your eyes
I'm aching
No past, no where to hide
Just you and me
When he knocks on that door, he'll see how broken she is, how shattered her heart is. He'll see how she's aching, but there's no where to hide their past. But when she sees him again, in person, she'll forget their past, her heartbreaks. Their everything.
She'll listen to every word that leaves him mouth.
This is the last time I'm asking you this
Put my name at the top of your list
This is the last time I'm asking you why
You break my heart in the blink of an eye
He finally gets the courage and knocks on her door, she jumps off her bed and walks down the stairs, passing the little black cavapoo dog in her bedroom.
(A/N: If your on twitter, and you follow AustinAllyPixie, it's that dog, she's the dog I'm talking about, if not - don't worry about it)
She knows this is the last time he'll ever be knocking, and this will be the last time she's going to open the door to see his guilty face. So she's going to take notice, and treasure, every single millisecond.
This is the last time
You tell me I've got it wrong
This is the last time
I say, "It's been you all along"
She opened the door, and a sigh of relief escapes his mouth.
"Alls, you've got it wrong. I've got it wrong. It's been you all along. Please listen to me. I've loved you for nine years."
A smile slowly creeps up on her jawline, knowing that he's right.
This is the last time
I let you in my door
She stands beside her door, allowing his entrance into her dad's old house, and the first thing he sees is his and her picture hung on the wall. He knows that this is his last chance, this last chance with his Ally, his last chance to be her Austin forever.
He takes off his shoes, and jacket, as Ally sits down in the living room - on the sofa, and Austin joins her.
This is the last time
I won't hurt you anymore
"How do I know that?" She asks him, it's true though, a fair point. How does she know that he'll break her heart again in a few months?
"I'm not going to hurt you again, because when I break your heart, I break mine too. I'm not the person to break my own heart."
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
She knows that he's saying no lie, she knows that he understands this is the final straw with her. The last chance he'll ever get. So, she looks down at the ground, smiling to herself.
As her mother said to her, 'You've got a good guy there, don't let him go. When I go to your wedding in ten years, I want him to be the guy waiting to see you in your white dress.'
So did Ally, she wanted her mom to be right, and so did Austin.
This is the last time I'm asking you this
Put my name at the top of your list
This is the last time I'm asking you why
You break my heart in the blink of an eye
"I was a fool to let your slip from my fingers, and hurt you like a million times in these last eight years we've been together. I don't want a relationship where I have a girlfriend 50% of the time, and a broken heart for the other 50%. I want to have a steady relationship with you, like the first two years we had together. I'm not going to break your heart again, because I love you."
She smiled as he spoke, and never even realized what was coming her way in a few minutes.
This is the last time I'm asking you this
Put my name at the top of your list
This is the last time I'm asking you why
You break my heart in the blink of an eye
"You're the most beautiful girl I've ever set my eyes on, you helped me when I was fifteen with the girls I dated, and you were always there. And I don't love you because you're beautiful. You're beautiful because I love you." He spoke, smiling as he said each word, he had planned his talk with her outside.
"Our apartment smells of you, that Ally smell lingers on my skin, clothes and my mind. The taste of your lips is still on my lips, and I still love you."
This is the last time
I'm asking you
Last time
I'm asking you
Last time
I'm asking you this
"I miss having you in my arms, I miss being able to answer my family's questions about you for you when your right there beside me, I miss watching movies with you when it's snowing outside, and we're inside our apartment underneath a blanket, sipping hot chocolate - wrapped up together on the sofa bed. I miss having you there."
This is the last time
I'm asking you
Last time
I'm asking you
Last time
I'm asking you this
"And I'm tired of always loving you, and not knowing if your okay, not knowing if you're broken too. If I didn't love you so much, I'd hate you, because you've caused me so much thinking, and thinking plus me is not a good sum. You should know that."
Ally gazed into his eyes, getting lost in the light brown colour, with the light green swirled into the brown - with the sparkling gold flecks surrounding his pupil.
"And for so long, I thought it would matter when and where I said this. But the most important thing is that you make me happier than pancakes, and everything in this world. I'm really, really happy that I chose to go into Sonic Boom with those corndogs. Because you make me happier than I ever thought I could be. And you you let me, I will spend the rest of my days trying to get you to feel the same way." He reached into his jeans pocket, and pulled out a white box.
Realizing what was happening, Ally covered her opened mouth with her hands, as tears released from her eyes.
He flipped open the box, revealing a beautiful white-gold engagement right, with a single diamond stone.
"Ally Dawson, will you marry me?"
This is the last time
I'm asking you
Last time
I'm asking you
Last time
I'm asking you this
"Yes!" She gasped, wrapping her arms around him, he really did make the most of his last chance, and he was pulled back, so his back was laid on the couch as she hugged him. He smiled at her actions as they pulled away from the hugged, but Austin pulled her back down with a kiss.
They were both smiling through the kiss, they weren't the best couple in the world. Heck, they were imperfect. But to them, that's what made them perfect.
This is the last time
I'm asking you
Last time
I'm asking you
Last time
I'm asking you this.
Another song-fic, hope you liked it! Review?
