"Austin … AUSTIN!"

Austin woke up, rolling off the small bed. He looked up at Dez who was holding a megaphone and grinning.

"Dude! What was that for?"

Dez shrugged in response. "We're already in Tallahassee, and its breakfast time … you've been asleep longer than a vampire."

Austin sat up and looked at his friend. "Vampires don't sleep."

"But vampire bats do." Dez said in a 'duh' kind of tone. "So anyway, Tish and Ally are already in the restaurant. You coming in?"

"I don't know I'm tired and not that hungry," Austin was really afraid to face Ally. She was obviously angry and he didn't know if she would ever forgive him.

"It's a pancake house …"

"I'm up! I'm up!"

Austin&&&&Ally.

Inside the restaurant, things were awkward and quiet. Trish and Dez looked at each other trying to find some way to break the tension while Ally was just looking at her omlette in front of her and Austin was avoiding Ally's eyes in general.

"So, who wants to hear a funny joke? I got a good one from when I worked at The Joke Barn last month for a half an hour." Trish suggested. No one replied except Dez who raised his hand up in the air and screamed 'Me! Me!' Attracting looks from the rest of the customers and staff.

Tirsh scowled at Dez from across the table. She and Ally were sitting together and Dez and Austin were sitting together. Ally hadn't acknowledge anyone at the table. Eventually she spoke.

"Um, I think I forgot my … lotion in the bus. I'll be right back." And with that, she stood up and left the three in confusion.

"Is she still that mad? She can't hold this against me forever." Austin said shaking his head.

Trish replied. "I don't know you really hurt her Austin, she was crying till all hours last night."

"That was her!" Dez exclaimed. "Man I thought we were abucted by alien squrriels,"

Austin, though, did not pay attention to Dez's random outburst. "I really made her cry?"

Trish nodded. "Yeah, you know Ally is a really sensitive person, she thought you really cared and you played her."

"Of course I care! I just didn't really think that she'd mind that she'd really be seeing me instead of a famous band."

"Are you kidding! Paramore her inspiration! Of course she cares."

"Wow … I feel really bad now, is she really giving up on songwriting?" Austin asked with some worry.

"Yeah, you should talk to her." Trish suggested.

"I can't do that!" Austin nearly yelled.

"Why not?" Trish wondered, curiously folding her arms.

"Uh … because she might throw pickles at me!" Austin improvised as Trish just snarled and left.

"Ugh this sucks …" Dez commented.

"Tell me about it." Austin sighed.

"Well for starters, these pancakes aren't round! They're more like an ovalish shape …"

Austin&&&&Ally.

Three hours later the bus just arrived in Georgia, Ally just sat in her room, sulking. She still couldn't believe Austin lied to her like that! She knew she had only known him a few months, but still that wasn't something anyone would just do! Right? Ally was so confused as well. She was still super angry at Austin but at the same time, she was also feeling an almost undescribable feeling. It wasn't like pain and it wasn't like happiness. It was needing. It was like she needed to see Austin and laugh and talk and … and be with him. She had no idea why she was thinking of him like this. It had to be a small little crush, everyone had them.

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Unconciously she said 'Come in!'. But as Austin entered through the doorway, she was pushing him saying 'Get out!'.

"Look Ally, we need to talk." He tried to speak as she was pushing him out the door.

"There's nothing to talk about Austin, its over!"

"No its not, please Ally just listen to me!" Ally decided to take mercy on him and let him speak.

"Fine, what is it?" she asked annoyed.

"Ally, you've got to understand, I made a mistake. Everyone does."

"Oh you don't think I understand?" Ally argued back. "You lied that's not a mistake."

"For the millionth time, I'm sorry!" He told her as her expression softened.

"Fine, I forgive you." She answered in monotone.

"Oh thank goodness!" Austin beamed. "I thought I wouldn't have a new song in forever!"

"Wait a minute …" Ally processed. "Are you just using me for my songwriting ?"

"No! Of course not," Austin urged. "Ally your not just my songwriter, you're my friend."

Ally sighed. "Austin, I forgive you. But please promise me no more fibbing."

"Okay, I won't lie any more."

Ally smiled. "Awesome, so what are you performing."

Austin shrugged. "I don't know yet, maybe everything we've written so far."

"So like … a whole concert," Ally smiled. "You've never done that before."

"I know. But like they say the show must go on." He grinned leaving ut the door. But he stoppped halfway and turn. "Thanks Ally."

She scrunched up her face. "For what?"

"Ya know …" Austin strided over to her. "For being a great friend and songwriter. And I'm sorry that I lied to you 'bout seeing Paramore."

Ally smiled at his confession. "Its okay, Paramore would've been a dream come true to see … but you're just as wonderful."

"Thanks," Austin said grinning. "Ally you're an awesome friend." He held his arms out for a hug.

Ally gladly returned it, though she felt a pang in her heart whyen he mentioed the word 'friend'. She would get over it soon though, she thought. Obviously since Austin didn't like her like that, she would forget him and move on. It seemed super hard, but she knew it wasn't. Austin didn't like her. Thing were better as friends …

Austin&&&&Ally.

"Wow, these peppers are as hot as Miami in July!" Dez exclaimed chowing down on a 'pepper'.

Trish smirked. "That's because it's a jalapeno." She informed him as he immeadately spit it out, hitting Austin on the head. However he didn't notice. He was sitting on the bed, staring off into space.

Trish walked over to him and leaned into his ear. "AUSTIN!" For the second time that day Austin fell off the bed onto the floor.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"For just sitting there, I mean at least I work. Then get fired, but still …" Trish pointed out.

"Yeah what were you thinking about?" Dez asked.

"Well me and Ally just officially made up eighteen minutes ago, and I keep feeling guilty about lying to her."

"So?"

"So, I want to make it up to her. When were done with the song were working on and perform it, I'm going to try and use the money to get her tickets to see it."

"Aw, that's so sweet!" Trish put a hand on her heart.

"Thanks Trish, I really-," Austin started.

Trish pushed him to the door. "No chatty now! Go work on your song!"

Austin went over to the door, but before he could open it just an inch … CRASH!
