I walked into the Sonic Boom where Austin said we'd meet. As I walked in I heard screaming coming from upstairs. It was Austin. He sounded angry. I ran up the stairs and listened through the door hoping to find out what was going on.
"Dad! I am not going to run the Matress store! and I'm not going to be a doctor! I want to be a musician! I want to sing for thousands of people every night!"
Silence.
"Well, I don't care what you think! I am going to do what I want with my life!...Okay! That's not fair!...School isn't- Okay don't bring Ally into this!...Yeah! Sure! She's helping me with my dream! She's doing better than you are! At least she's being supportive! Unlike you!"
Whoa! Austin is mad...he's fighting with his dad...Again...
"You know what! I'm done talking to you!" I heard Austin approach the door. "Ally I know you're standing there."
Oops...busted...
Austin opend the door.
"You OK, Austin?" I asked.
His face was red. He sounded like he was loosing his voice.
"Yeah...I'm fine." He said. He turned around and started messing with the piano.
"No you're not..." I said.
"Yes I am"
"No you aren't, Austin"
"Yes I am, Ally!" he yelled at me. I stepped back. His face softend. "I'm sorry, Ally. I'm just really mad. You're right. I'm not okay..." He slowly sat down. I sat down beside him.
'Poor Austin' I thought 'His dad just keeps giving him a hard time about what he wants to do. I wish there was something I could do'
"I'm sorry, Austin. I wish there was something I could do..."
He looked at me and smiled.
"It's okay, Ally. I have an idea but...I'm not sure if I'll do it." I looked at him, confused.
"What do you mean? What idea?" I asked.
"nothing Ally..."
"no...tell me..."
"Not now!"
"Okay...It's your descion. I know..." I said.
"So...you wanna work on that new song?" He asked. asked.
"Sure..."
We got work.
A couple of hours later...Austin left for home. I was in my room, laying on my bed, reading a book.
I heard something hitting my window. I put down my book and hesitenly walked over to the window. I saw Dez standing outside. In the rain. Wearing a penguin suit...Ooooookay? The strangest part is...I live in a one story house...and he was throwing rocks at my window...when...he could just knock...
I opened my window.
"Dez! What are you doing here? and why are you throwing rocks at my window?" I asked him.
"I just wanted to say hi! Okay...Bye!" I cocked an eyebrow
"Dez, you're here for a reason. What do you want?" I asked.
"I just wanted to know what was up with Austin today!" He asked me.
"He seemed upset and mad...did you and him fight?"
"No..when was this?" I asked him.
"Earlier...at, I think, six"
'Huh...I wonder if he fought with his dad again after he left...Poor Austin' I thought.
"Aw...I'll call him." I said.
"Okay! I'd better get home! My parents think I'm in my room. haha! But I'm not!"
I facepalmed. "Dez, You live next door...I think they know you're not in your room..."
Austin's POV
"Ugh!" I slammed my door and flopped on my bed.
My phone rang. I picked it up and saw it was Ally calling.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey, Austin. Are you OK?" She asked, clearly worried.
"Uhhh...yeah...how did you know there was a problem..." I asked, curiously. "ARE YOU A STALKER!" I teased.
"Haha! No! Dez said that earlier you seemed upset...I wondered if you fought with your dad again after you left..." She asked.
"No...I was just thinking..."
"Oh...Okay well...I guess I talk to you later..."
"Okay...Good night, Allykat" I said.
"Night, Austin."
"Wait! Ally" I said.
"yeah?"
"I just wanted to tell you that I love you..."
"What?"
"No! not like that." I sat up on my bed while talking to her just...as a friend. Just remember that, Okay?" I asked.
"Austin? What's going on?" She asked. I could hear she was worried. I didn't want her to worry.
I hung up on her. I hated doing so but...I did.
Ally's POV
"Austin!" I realized he hung up.
He clearly didn't want to talk. I wish he would just talk to me! What did I do wrong!
I gave up on thinking and just went to bed.
"Ally, sweetie. Wake up." My dad said.
"hmm? what?" I blinked, letting my eyes ajust to the morning light "What's wrong?"
"Honey, come down stairs." I felt worry rush all over my body. I followed my dad down stairs.
Mike and Mimi, Austin's parents were there.
"Mr and Mrs. Moon...What're you guys doing here?"
"Sweetie..." Mike said.
"Where's Austin?" I asked.
Mimi started crying.
"No..." I said, tears welling up in my eyes.
"He's gone, sweetie..."
I hugged them, bawling.
"Austin..." I whispered. "Why..."
