Ally's POV
Throughout the team meeting Austin had this far away look on his face. I wonder what was up with him?
The meeting had just ended and the four of us were walking down the stairs into the store. Trish and Dez were leaving, but Austin was going to stay to work on the song. "Night guys!" I tell Trish and Dez as they walk out the door. "See ya tomorrow!" Trish yells back. I then shut the door and lock it. I turn toward Austin, "So, wanna get to work on that song?" "How about we go to the practice room, we seem to write songs better up there." he tells me. "Okay, let's go." I tell him as I start back up the stairs. We walk into the practice room and Austin shuts the door behind us. "Alright, we have the chorus down, got any ideas for the first verse?" I ask. "Not really, I wasn't even thinking about actually finishing writing this song." I wonder why not? I ask myself. "Well, since it is going to be on my album, do you mind if I add a personal touch to it?" I hope. "Of course Alls, you know everything's better when we work as a team." Austin tells me smiling. "Hey," I begin, "what if it was a song about out partnership?" I ask. "I'd love it Ally." I sit down in front of the piano and begin playing the song, Austin sits down beside me. I start to think about all the wonderful memories I've shared with Austin. There really is no way I could make it without him. Without realizing it, I begin to sing, "I remember life before, faraway dreams and locking doors. Then you came...then you came. Afraid to fall...to be free, always my own worst enemy. It isn't what...what you see." I then hear Austin begin to sing, "I took time to realize, that I couldn't do it by myself, myself..." Then I join in with him, " There's no gravity, when you're next to me. You always break my fall, like a parachute. When you're holding me, so weightless I can barely breathe. You always break my fall, my fall... Like a parachute, you're my parachute." "Wow." we both say together. "That's amazing." Austin tells me. I look into his eyes and say, "I was thinking the next part could go like this," Austin begins to play, never looking away from me. I start to sing while looking at Austin, "With you, it all begins. Feeling okay in my own skin. So alive, I'm so alive. I know...this life isn't gonna be perfect. The ups and downs are gonna be worth it, as long as I'm...I'm with you."
Austin's POV
Ally is incredible. I can't believe it. She wrote this song about us. It's amazing, just like her. Staring into her warm hazel eyes, I know I'm in love. Ally will always be the only one for me. There will never be another girl for me. I start to lean in, without thinking. To my surprise she's leaning in too. Our lips touch. I feel like everything in the world is right. I couldn't be any happier. We pull apart. "Austin, I.." I put my finger to her lips, "Just come here." I tell her. I wrap my arms around her as she nuzzles her head in my neck. We just hold each other like that for a couple minutes. I feel Ally pull back, "Oh no." She looks at me, her eyes filled with surprise. "What about Gavin?" she asks me. Awww man, I totally forgot about him. "Ally," I know I have to do what's best for her, even though it's going to break me, "don't tell him about this. This will remain between you and me." "But Austin," "Shh, I won't tell anyone. I promise. I reckon I better be getting home, it's getting kinda late." I stand up and walk to the door, "Bye Alls." I say. I shut the practice room door and feel a single tear trickle down my cheek as I leave Sonic Boom.
Ally's POV
Austin, why did you leave. Couldn't you tell that I still love you?
I don't know what's going to happen between me and Gavin, but I know I can only see a future with you. Austin Monica Moon. The love of my life. Please come back. I hear the doors to Sonic Boom close downstairs as Austin leaves. Why did I even say yes when Gavin asked me out? It's so clear now that Austin has always been the one for me. I just wish he knew that. Then I remember, I never told him bye. I pull out my phone and send Austin a quick text, Bye Austin.
I walk downstairs and close up the store. I walk home knowing somehow, this would turn out okay. It had too. Me and Austin were meant to be.
