Ally POV
"Do we have to do this in public?" I quietly asked Austin as we strolled through the mall with Trish and Dez.
"We don't have a choice, Als." He replied just as quiet. "We have to make this breakup as real as possible." I nodded.
We had a plan for the breakup, but I didn't like it. Austin and I were supposed to start arguing about his career, which would then lead to a lot of shouting. We would have to say things we didn't mean, and he wanted me to actually cry. I wasn't sure I could pull this off. And I really hated how we were gonna do this whole thing in the mall. We were gonna draw so much attention.
"Guys, I'm gonna start it now." Trish whispered. She was going to initiate the fight that would lead to our breakup. We nodded. "So Austin, you ready for your concert tonight?"
"What concert?" I asked, pretending to act clueless.
"The concert I've been talking about for weeks." Austin replied.
I stopped walking and placed my hands on my hips. "You never told me about this concert."
"Ally, yes I did. You probably weren't listening to me."
"I always listen to you, Austin." I said.
"No, all you do is talk." He snapped. "You never listen!"
I had to remind myself that we were acting because Austin was a really good actor. "What are you talking about? All I ever do is listen!"
"That's bullshit!"
People started surrounding us, but I did my best to ignore them. "Don't yell at me! It's not my fault you're lying to me!"
"How the hell am I lying to you?" He threw is hands up in frustration. Fake frustration, obviously.
"Because you never told me about the concert!" I snapped. "I'm starting to think your career is more important than me."
His jaw clenched. "You did not just say that." Wow, it looked like he was really angry. He deserves an Oscar, I thought.
"What? Can't handle the truth?"
"Ally, shut up before I do something I regret." He spoke through clenched teeth.
I took a step forward so we were only inches apart. "What are you gonna do? I'm sick of your career coming between us."
"Then I have a solution." He took in a sharp breath and looked at me with apologetic eyes. "We're done."
I knew we were acting, but I couldn't help but gasp. My eyes filled with tears. "Fine." My voice cracked as I talked. "Have a nice life." I grabbed Trish's arm and pulled her into the nearest bathroom.
"Whoa, Ally, calm down." Trish soothed, noticing that I was sobbing like a maniac. "You guys didn't actually breakup."
"I know!" I cried. Thankfully no one was in the bathroom. "I don't understand why I'm crying." I ran a hand through my hair and laughed thickly. "I'm such a dork."
"Meh. Little bit." Trish agreed, chuckling. "Als, you have to realize that he was just acting. He didn't mean anything he said."
"I know." I said quietly, my sobs under control. "It just seemed so real."
Suddenly, Trish's phone went off, causing me to look at her. "That was fast." She mumbled.
"What?" I asked, wiping my eyes.
"Your breakup is trending on Twitter." She said, causing my eyes to widen.
"I guess they couldn't wait to spread the news of the breakup." I chuckled bitterly. "He has fans that believe they'll date and get married."
"I wouldn't really call them fans, Als. More like psychotic girls."
My phone started vibrating in my pocket, signaling that I got a text. I whipped it out and read it.
Als, meet me at your house, The text read. It was Austin.
I didn't bother texting back. "Austin wants me to meet him at my place." I told Trish.
She nodded. "It's a good thing we took separate cars." I nodded in agreement as we slipped out of the bathroom, hurrying towards her car. I didn't have my license yet, so Austin and Trish always drove me. I didn't completely trust Dez.
Once we got to my house, I noticed my bedroom window open. Austin must had come inside through the window since my mom was home. She had to have heard about the "breakup." If not, then she would eventually.
"Thanks for the ride, Trish." I thanked as I got out of the car.
"No problem. Now go see your man." I rolled my eyes and smiled, waving goodbye as I watched her speed off down the road. I walked up to the door and slowly opened the door, hoping to just slip past my mom.
"Hi, honey."
I failed.
My mom smiled warmly as she embraced me in a hug. I buried my face in her hair and smiled. My mom and I were really close since we only had each other. She was there for me as I grew up, and I owed everything to my mom.
"How was your day, sweetie?" She asked, stroking my hair.
Since she was bounding to find out about the "breakup" eventually, I decided to just tell her. "A-Austin and I broke up." I pretended to act completely heartbroken, and I guess it was believable because she gasped.
"Oh, honey." She murmured, wrapping me in another hug. "I'm so sorry." All I did was nod. "What happened?" She held me at arm's length.
"Uh, can we talk later? I just want to rest for a little." I produced tears and made my voice crack.
She nodded in understanding. "Of course, sweetie. I'll call you when dinner's ready." She kissed the top of my head before slipping into the kitchen. I quickly ran upstairs and entered my room, shutting and locking the door so my mom wouldn't walk in.
Austin jumped off my bed and wrapped me in a hug. "I'm so sorry, Als." He murmured in my hair. I nodded against his chest.
I pulled away from the hug and walked over to my window, closing it and shutting the shades so we could have some privacy. He sat down on my bed and patted the spot next to. I sat down and he wrapped his arm around me.
"Everyone knows about our "breakup"." I said, putting air quotes around breakup.
He nodded. "I know. At least Jimmy will be happy." He spat, his voice cold.
"And now you have to date that stupid Tiffany." I mumbled bitterly.
"Als, listen to me." He said softly, pressing his forehead against mine. "Tiffany is nothing compared to you. I love you and only you. I would give up my career if you'd let me."
"And that's why we staged our breakup, Austin. I don't want you giving it up. You worked too hard."
He cupped my cheek and caressed it lightly. "You're amazing, Als." He whispered before pressing his lips to mine in a sweet, gentle kiss. One of my hands tangled itself in his blonde locks, while the other laid limp in my lap.
"I love you." He breathed once we pulled away.
I smiled. "I love you, too."
"Ally! Dinner!" My mom called, causing me to frown.
"I better get going." Austin said sadly. I nodded. "I'll talk to you later." He gave me a peck on the lips before slipping out the window.
Austin sneaking out would be the new normal. I didn't like it.
Going to school without my friends was quite difficult when Monday arrived. As soon as I walked through the doors of Marino High, all eyes were on me. Yes, everyone knew I was dating Austin Moon, one of the most famous singers on Earth, and now they knew of our "breakup".
I had three words.
THIS FUCKING SUCKED.
"Hey, Ally." Dallas, the football star greeted as he approached my locker.
"Uh, hi." I said, closing my locker. I tried moving away, but he blocked my path. "Can I help you?"
"Yeah. You can go out with me this Friday."
I opened my mouth to say something, but I was cut off. "She's not interested." I turned to the sound of the voice and gasped.
"Trish!" She laughed and hugged me. "What are you doing here?"
"One sec." She turned to Dallas. "Get lost before I pound you to a pulp." He rolled his eyes and walked away, murmuring some words that were incoherent.
"Alright, what are you doing here?" I asked, a smile on my face.
"I'm going to school with you now." My eyes widened. "Austin thought it would be a good idea for you to have a friend with you right now, and I agreed. Besides, if anyone bugs you, I'll take care of them."
I squealed and hugged her again. "You have no idea how happy I am."
"I can tell. You squealed so loud that I lost hearing in my right ear."
I rolled my eyes and playfully shoved her. "You don't mind going to boring classes?" I asked.
She shook her head. "Nah. I'll probably just sleep."
I laughed at my crazy best friend before whipping out my phone.
Thank you so much! I texted Austin.
He replied immediately. Anything for my favorite girl ;)
