I don't own Austin and Ally.

Ally's pov.

I need to get away.

There is clearly no reason for me to stay here anymore. I've been bullied for the past few years and I don't want to spend my life in hiding anymore. My mom died a few years ago and my best friend Trish moved away. Nothing matters.

My dad is depressed and won't even get up from the couch somedays, everything is falling apart and it feels like it's slowly ripping out my heart.

Of course I can fake it. I know my dad hates it when I get like this, but how can I not. This summer will be different...it has to be...it just has to.

Just to put this out there, there is such a thing of artificial happiness.

I sighed and packed my things. My mom used to tell me about this camp she went to, when she was my age. The camp was called 'Camp Harmony' and I'm so ready to go there.

Today is the day I'm leaving Miami. And I don't think I'm very sad about that. I called my uncle and he'll be flying in to watch my dad for the summer.

I walked out of my room and went down stairs, my dad was fast asleep on the couch...as usual. I came up and kissed him on the head. "Goodbye daddy...I love you" he smiled and kissed my cheek.

I walked out and saw the taxi I called a few hours earlier. I took a deep breath.

I got into the Taxi and told him to take me to the Miami Airport.

_at the airport_

The wind blew my hair away from my face and I felt happy that I came. I paid the cab driver and walked into the airport. I still can't believe I'm doing this, especially because I have so much stage fright and I have no idea what to expect at this music camp.

I walked to the plane and prepared myself for boarding. I took out a leather book with an A and some music notes on it. My mom gave it to me when I was 5, she said that I can write anything in this book, and no one will have to know what's inside.

Our little motto was 'If you can't say it..sing it'

I smiled at the memory. One of the flight attendants called for my row to come board the plane. I got up and walked to the boarding station. I took my seat and surprisingly there was no one else in my row.

When they were about to take off, I plugged in my head phones and turned up the volume.

The funny thing about music is when your listing to it, nothing else matters.

I could feel the plane take off into the sky.

California here I come.

_5 hours later_

I'm in a cab riding to Camp Harmony and is it too late to go home?

I watched the palm trees multiplied and the smell of the oceans sinked into the cab. I think felt at home and safe for some reason.

The camp came into view and I can't believe what I saw. The freaking thing was on the beach. The cabins looked like very small houses and the stage was huge, which made me want to pee my pants.

I know I might seem quiet, but Trish used to always say I was the funniest person she knew and she knows a lot of people. Hopefully I can embrace myself here and try not to act like the victim.

The atmosphere already made me happy.

I got out of the Cab and thanked the driver. He smiled "Your welcome, also you have a beautiful voice, you'll fit in just fine." He assured...wait what?!

"How do you know about my voice" I asked cautiously. "You started singing when you were staring out the window." He answered

"Oh well thank you! Here's your money and I hope I fit in as well, thanks again for the support though!" I said, I haven't had someone compliment me in like...forever so this really meant a lot.

I walked into the main building. "Hi I'm new, so where can I get my cabin number?" I asked shyly. The lady gave me a warm smile and passed me a piece of paper which had a map of the whole entire camp. "Your cabin number is 7b." She states. "Ok thank you!"

Ugh I know this whole really nice thing isn't working for me. I haven't been around actual decent people so this is kind of new for me.

I felt the sun touch my skin and the warmth made me shiver.

I set off for my destination...wait where's the bathroom?

Austin's pov.

I'm back in camp Harmony and it feels amazing. Last year I met the most awesome people and I'm ready to meet more.

At school I'm known as the popular guy who can't even get a C on a quiz, but here it doesn't matter, people like me for my music. A lot of girls like me and it bugs me a little, like I can't get any privacy. I'm grateful for it though, but I never know who is real or who is fake.

Well except my friend skylar, she's probably the coolest person I know, next to my friend Dez and she has this huge crush on this guy names Lucas who so happens to be one of my cabin mates, it's nice to know a girl who doesn't like me like that.

I look over and see Ted my favorite cab driver. He dropped me off the first time I went to camp.

A brunette was talking to him and smiled at sweetly at something he said. She wore a blue flowing top with white shorts. Her hair was a light brown with strings of gold. I haven't seen her around before...

When she left I walked over to talk to him. "Austin! how are you doing?" He greeted in his southern accent. "I'm doing fine and I'm so excited about this year."

"Well try not to cause trouble with the ladies" he teased.

"I won't. And just out of curiosity who was that girl?" I couldn't help but feel stalkerish by asking.

"Oh that was Ally, she's probably the sweetest little thing I have ever met. Her mom used to go here. She was kind of a legend and I think it broke everyone's heart when she died a few years ago." Poor Ally, I watch as she walked over to the main buildings and there was something about her that made her look like she belonged here and it made me smile.

"Did she tell you all of this?" I asked. "No way! That sweet heart has been through so much of course she didn't say anything. I knew her mother personally and she looked exactly like her, but the thing that confirmed it was her voice. It sounded just like her mother's angel voice." I got even more interested in her by the second.

"You know she's kinda pretty." I said out loud, Ted gave me a look and laughed "you haven't even seen her eyes, just like her mother's, I swear boys melted at the sight of those brown eyes."

"Do you think she's different?"

"Like skylar different or actual something else" he questioned. "Something else"

"Yes, she is something else. I have a feeling she'll surprise a lot of people this summer, but please be careful her mother and me kept in touch and she said Ally had trouble with some of the kids at her school." I nodded.

"Well now I want to meet her."

"Don't go all boy and try to turn on the charm, because she has this vibe that she doesn't trust to easily."

"No promises." I said, he laughed and waved goodbye to me.

I went off looking for Dez and Skylar.

"Austin!" A familiar voice said

I turned around and saw...Brooke. And immediately felt like running the opposite direction. She has this unhealthy obsession with me. Her and two of her friends Nicole and Brittany are like really creepy.

Then behind me I heard Nicole and to the left of me came Brittany, the only thing I thought of was run!

I started to sprint as fast I could. They were gaining and I needed a plan. I decided to make a very sharp turn and hide in the bushes. The flaw to my plan was that I crashed into someone very hard. I quickly with out thinking went behind the bush dragging the person with me.

The bush was shady and wasn't that sunny so it cooled me down. I looked at the person who I dragged with me...it was Ally.

She was wiping some dirt from her face and looked at me in confusion. "Sorry I'm so sorry, I was running away from some people and I banged into you and here we are"

"It's fine, I guess. I just didn't think I was going to start the summer with some scrapes and bruises." She smiled at me signaling she's fine.

I noticed that the she had a cut close to her eyebrow. It was bleeding and I felt even more guilty. "Oh god. Your hurt!" I rubbed the cut with my thumb, my mom told me it makes it feel better. She looked more comfortable, but the thing was it looked like I was cupping her cheek.

I met her eyes and I lost my breath. What I saw was the most prettiest brown eyes I have ever seen. I just kept staring at her while still having my hand on her really soft cheek. "Are you sure. You didn't hit your head when we collided?" She said and I laughed nervously.

"Sorry your eyes are just..." I managed to say and I couldn't help but want to take that back. She blushed and gave me a small smile.

"Thanks, and you know you have a bruise right..." She lightly touched my forearm and rested her hand there. "There" she finished and it did hurt a lot, but I didn't say anything.

She looked down and then slowly met my eyes again. "I'm Ally." She says, "Austin." I said in return.

We both didn't move our positions. "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to do that." I apologized again. She took my hand away from her cheek and held it in hers. "It's fine. I promise I'm not mad." She squeezes my hand witch makes me tense up. I think she's flirting with me, but in her eyes I could just see that she means what she said.

"You know most girls would either try to kiss me or slap me...right?" I blurt out and she laughs.

"Well I'm not like most girls" she says. And with that she got up and went to the infirmary. She turned around and smiled at me and all I could do was wave.

What the heck just happened.

So as you can see...that just happened. But I am not putting them together at like the 10th chapter, you will have to wait for that. Sorry for the short chapter, I'll be posting longer ones So don't worry.

Comment if you liked it.
