A/N: Please be kind to me. This is my first story. Constructive criticism is much appreciated. Yes, I know, I suck at writing dialogue. ~Jess

Chapter One - Ally

We had been working together for a year now and I wished that our romantic relationship could progress as well as our working relationship had.

I was sitting at the piano in the practice room trying to come up with some good lyrics for Austin's big show next week when he walked into the room.

"Hey Ally, what are you working on?"

"Oh, hey Austin. I have been trying to write your best song yet, but nothing seems to be working. Everything I write sounds like crap."

"Oh. Maybe I can help. I know I'm not too good, but I am good inspiration."

He smiled that beautiful smile that made it seem like nothing else mattered.

"Yeah, come over here. Maybe having you near me would help."

When he sat beside me my heart started racing. I really could not focus like this! I started playing with some melodies, but nothing worked quite right.

"Ally, you seem a little stressed. Are you feeling alright?"

"Yeah, it's nothing. I am just having a hard time focusing with you so close to me."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing!"

I ran straight out of the room because I couldn't look at that dumbstruck look on his face anymore. He couldn't know how I felt about him because I knew that there was no way that he felt the same way about me. I grabbed my book from under the counter and ran out of the store to the food court so that I could get my thoughts straight. I found an empty table in a secluded corner, opened my book, and began to write.

I don't know what it is about him that makes me like him so much. Every time I get near him I just can't focus on anything. It has gotten worse lately. I wish that I could tell him, but even thinking about telling him gives me that same feeling that I get if I am on a stage. I was about to tell him when we were together in the practice room, but I just couldn't tell him, so I ran out on him. I have a feeling that he is going to come looking for me and ask what that was about, but I don't think I can tell him. I love you Austin Moon. I always have. I was just too stupid to say anything before. Now if I could just say that to his face. Oh well.

I closed my book and just sat there to think for a few minutes. I saw Austin walk out of the store and look around.

"Ally, where are you?"

He walked over to me.

"I finally found you Ally. Why did you run out like that?"

"Austin, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?

"Well…"

A/N: Sorry, you will just have to wait until the next chapter. I would love any criticisms that anybody has that could help me out. This is my first time writing so anything would help. Hope to write lots and lots more for you guys.

Stay true.
