Well hello there, this is the first story I have ever written and I'm really excited, but a little bit nervous too...

I really hope you will like it, so here's the first chapter.

Chapter 1

It's been said too any times. I can't tell you how many times I've heard it. The phrase that says, "you don't know what You have until its gone". I didn't understand what it meant the first time. Nor the second or third time, but now I do, as I see Ally in front of me. I finally understand the meaning of this phrase after all this time.

She is one of the most talented singers and songwriters I have ever known. She always had a smile on her face; one of the friendliest persons you'd ever meet. She loved people's company; never would dare to push anybody away.

Now she's like a broken vase that nobody can put back together. I have never seen her so broken. We were best friends. We were partners who were making magic together called music with the help of our two best friends, Trish and Dez. Those times were the best. I will always miss those days and nights when we used to stay awake until morning dawn to finish a song. Movie nights seem to be a distant memory that is out of reach. Yet I cannot seem to forget those memories no matter how hard I try.

Walking into Sonic Boom and looking at her face, a face that used to shine with her caramel eyes glowing of happy emotions, now is blank like a piece of white paper. No smile, no frown, just an emotionless face. This scene burns a hole in my heart. I think it has been far too long that I haven't seen her smile; more than 2 years. I need to collect my courage. I need to be brave as I try to find the reason of her heartbreak and mend Ally Dawson… before it's too late.

One thing that she doesn't comprehend is that by pushing her friends away she does not only hurt herself, but she hurts us too. It doesn't matter that people no longer know who I am; that they don't ask for the autograph; having my ally–cat back is what matters the most to me right now.

Life is not the easiest adventure. It's filled with bumps and turns that we can't always know what lies ahead. But if we won't try to live this adventure with a soul and heart, then we will get lost on the way. There are of course the ups and downs. My life isn't the easiest but when you meet me in the street no matter how angry or sad I am, I always try to cheer myself up and meet you with a smile. People really underestimate the difference a smile can make. A smile can light up the world. A smile, for me, means that you believe in future even if things aren't all right. It means that you believe that things will get better.

When somebody smiles I smile too. The only person whom I haven't seen smile for a long time is the one and only Ally Dawson. There must be a reason for all of this but I don't know it. No matter how bad a person acted or was, she always tried to find an explanation to it. I know that I am partly to blame for her sudden change. And because I know this I suffer every day.

I never try to think of that fateful day; the one that happened way back in the summer when we used to sit on the piano bench. For that entire day I knew that there was something wrong with her. I tried to figure out what exactly it was but when I asked her about it she would just shrug it off and put a fake smile on her face.

We spent the whole two hours trying to come up with a new song. One that was upbeat and fun, but we failed. I was frustrated and angry by that time. I hid those emotions as we just sat there. Some of it was because we couldn't write a simple song, the other was the fact that I knew Ally was upset, but I didn't want to upset her even more by letting her know how I truly felt at the moment. That was when she stood up and said that all this was over; that she couldn't continue with our partnership any more… that it hurt her too much. I didn't even ask her what was wrong, I just yelled. Everything that I had been frustrated at just exploded.

I saw tears in her eyes as I told her that she was being selfish and that she disgusted me. I told her that we were no longer friends. I just couldn't understand why Ally would leave me hanging like that. So I did what I knew best; I slammed the door in her face and stormed out of the store without even looking back. I ran all the way home in anger. Once I got there I threw everything. I smashed vases on the way to my room; I slammed my fist on the wall and threw books from my table. I collapsed onto the ground and started crying when I couldn't hold myself together any longer. That's when my mother came into the room and told me to take a shower. I obeyed without questioning. I knew that if I didn't she would kick me out of the house… or I would end up destroying the house.

I took a cold shower and went to bed early at about 7 pm. I was too exhausted by that time to do anything. I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow. The next morning when I woke up flashbacks of previous night went through my mind. I got angry all over again and tears of rage filled my eyes. I knew what I had done screwed my friendship with most innocent, sweet, and pleasant girl that I have ever met. I spent a whole week torturing and punishing myself for my mistake. But soon I came out of my house and regained contact with the world.

First it was only to do errands for my mom; like going to the grocery store. But then I started going out with Dez or some of the other guys and that is how my summer came to an end. I was not that cheery anymore and school was just plain boring without Ally. Of course she was going to the same school as me, but the difference between then and now was that she no longer was my friend. She no longer was the one who always stood by my side. I decided to just bury myself in my school work in an attempt to let go of Ally. It was devastating since everything reminded me of her; even school assignments. We practically did everything together and trying to forget her made me realize how much I loved her.

In the time we spent together I didn't realize that I had feelings for her. But now that I'm not spending every minute of every day with her, I feel lonely every time I see her. I just want to go and tell her that everything was a mistake. I want to apologize for being such a jerk and just kiss her. I often dream of our first kiss, and the fact that it isn't a reality turns them into nightmares.

Now as I stand outside the doors of Sonic Boom and peek through the doors to catch a glimpse of Ally, I don't know how much more I can handle. I have had enough already. I can't even smile normally anymore. Every time I try the corners of my mouth turn into a frown. I need to get this mess sorted out. It is destroying me.

As I leave the place that I had come to know so well, I realize that today is Sunday. It's the last day of summer. I'm not really upset. I'm kind of excited. Tomorrow is the day I will start finding ways to mend my friendship with Ally, and then I will try and fix the heart that has been broken for far too long.

So... What do you guys think? I know it's a bit short, but it's kind of like a prologue. I'll try to write longer chapters in the future.

please review, comment or criticize, I will be glad to read everything :)

till next time...
