Jump ahead to today..
I had been offered many times to come to New York, put together an album, produce some music videos and watch my career flourish. I had trouble saying yes to these offers, people may think I;m crazy. And yes crazy was the word, crazy in love with my best friend and couldn't bare the thought of leaving him. He was signed to Starr Records in Miami, I had offers in New York. I just couldn't leave. Until now that is.
School was about to get out, I hadn't talked to Austin about my plans. Those cold words he spoke to me were 7 days ago, and since then I had hung out with him, Trish and Dez (our best friends) but I had kept my distance from Austin, we weren't the same but he didn't even seem to notice. He was so focused on checking out Kira and Cassidy who flirted like crazy with him and going out on dates. He may have been my best friend, but let me tell you were we ever different. I pretended like his words didn't break my heart, didn't send me into days of crying and depression, but the truth was they stung so bad. Not only did he not want to be with me, but he didn't see me as a sexy young woman, he was me as a cute, nerdy best friend. How horrible.
So, like I said I haven't told Austin about the offers I had received. A huge record company in New York offered me to come there for the entire summer, record an album and make a few music videos. This was going to be a test trial, if people responded positively to this than they would look at taking the next step in my career, tours, signings, etc. The sky would be the limit if everything went well. I would have never even thought twice about leaving Miami for the summer, that was until Austin spoke those words to me. And this was going to tear Team Austin-Ally apart for the summer.
"Trish, I really want to go I just don't know if I actually could ever do it" I said to my best girlfriend.
"Ally you can't pass this offer up, I would have never made you think twice about this before but after what Austin said to you and in front of Dez and I, you have to go. Put your career first for once, it's time to see Ally on TV and the internet singing, not just Austin. Besides, it looks like he'll be dating Kira all summer." Trish told me, rubbing my back as she spoke the harsh truth.
"I know Trish, I just love him so much I can't imagine being away from him and if I leave what if he needs a new song?" I pointed out.
"Then let him worry about it for once Ally, or better yet let Kira or Cassidy try and help him, that should go well...not" Trish said with an evil smirk.
"Alright Trish, you know what. I'm going to do it, I'm going to go for the summer. But…" I started to say.
"But what Ally?" Trish said looking confused.
"YOU HAVE TO COME WITH ME! IT WILL BE SO MUCH FUN!" I yelled at Trish excitedly.
"Of course, I'll come with you. Remind me to stop by the ice cream store and tell them I won't be in until August though." Trish answered back.
"Hahaha of course Trish!"
I had called the record company, and accepted the offer. They told me that we would fly, FIRST CLASS from Miami International to New York. A car would pick us up there and take us to our luxurious penthouse suite. I was so excited but hurt at the same time. Every time I started to think about Austin, I just kept remembering and replaying in my head what he said to me. But I knew I had to tell him I was going. I just didn't know how.
My dad said I could go but because I wasn't leaving for 4 days he needed me to work in the store and look at hiring a replacement while I was gone. I didn't mind to much, I've worked here forever. As I was walking into Sonic Boom, I saw Trish and Dez sitting in the food court, usually I would go up and talk to my best friends, but I had to hurry and open the store.
