Sorry for the late update! I was really busy! I hope you like the chapter! I don't own What Makes You Beautiful or One Direction. Or Empire of The Sun.
My fingers slowly tapped against the keys of my piano as I sat next to Austin on the piano bench. We had just finished the new song and were about to go over it.
I began singing softly, and I grew louder and more confident as the song went on.
"You're insecure, don't know what for. You're turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or, Don't need make-up - to cover up. Being the way that you are is eno-o-ough."
Austin began singing along.
"Everyone else in the room can see it. Everyone else but you…Baby you light up my world like nobody else, The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell…You don't know Oh oh, You don't know you're beautiful!"
Austin and I looked at each other smiling and kept singing.
"If only you saw what I could see, you'd understand why I want you so desperately! Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe, You don't know Oh oh, You don't know you're beautiful! Oh oh That's what makes you beautiful!"
I stopped singing and decided to let Austin take the reins.
"So girl come on! you got it wrong! To prove I'm right I put it in a so-o-ong! don't know why, you're being shy, And turn away when I look in to your ah-ah eyes, Everyone else in the room can see it, Everyone else but yo-ouuu! Baby you light up my world like nobody else, The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell…You don't know Oh oh, You don't know you're beautiful!"
Whenever Austin sang you could see his eyes light up, he loved it. I listened to him, hypnotized.
"Now I'm looking at you and I can't believe…You don't know Oh oh, You don't know you're beautiful! Oh oh, You don't know you're beautiful! Oh oh, That's what makes you beautiful!"
He closed his eyes as he finished the song.
"Wooooh!" I cheered and clapped, laughing "Go Austin!"
He chuckled and pushed me playfully "Allllyyyy, you're embarrassing meeee" He joked.
I laughed rolling my eyes and closed my PRECIOUS song book.
As I was standing up I turned around and saw Trish standing in the doorway with her arms folded over her chest, smiling.
"I like the new song!" She chuckled and walked over to us "But! I have an announcement to make!"
"You got a new job?" I figured that must be it from the colorful outfit and the thousands of bracelets she was wearing.
"No! Well yes! At Bangle Hut. But that's not what I wanted to tell you!" She looked excited.
"What is it then?" I was confused.
"Well it's a surprise for Dez" She smiled "But I wanna tell you guys first"
It was obvious Austin was interested in what Trish had to say, because he was leaning forward to listen.
"Well, I was trying to get my job back at the Yo Yo cart and guess who was buying YoYos? The guys from that one Australian band that Dez likes! And well, I overheard them talking about how they need to find someone new to put together their next music video…soooo…I ended up mentioning Dez, and how he makes Austin Moon's music videos, and as it turns out they love Austin Moon and his music videos…and well I'm sure you can figure out the rest."
"Oh my Gosh Trish, that's great!" I was excited for him, working with them could get his name out. "But wait…" I paused "Why are you helping Dez? You can't stand him"
She laughed "Oh ally, sweet, sweet Ally…Of course I'm not doing it for him, I'm doing it for the complimentary trip for all four of us to Shanghai, China!"
My eyes widened "Um Trish…"
"Yes Ally?" She smiled
"Are you crazy?" I freaked out.
"Umm…hehehe" She laughed awkwardly while rubbing the back of her head.
"We can't go to China! It's so far! And who will watch the shop when my dad is busy? And I don't think my dad will be okay with it! And it's so sudden! When do we have to leave? I have nothing packed! And what about Owen my Parrot? My dad isn't capable of taking care of him! Ahhhhh!" I put my hands on my head and paced around the room rambling in panic.
Trish and Austin watched me and tried to stay out of my way as I scurried around.
"Um…Ally?" Austin looked at me like I was crazy "You're doing it again."
I stopped and laughed it off trying to act casual, "Haha ha…ha…" I looked uncomfortable as I attempted a chill pose. "I-I'm good guys"
Trish shook her head "Anyway, we have to leave tomorrow, I know it's short notice, but we can't pass up an offer like this."
I felt more panic come over me, but I kept my cool…Well except for the eye twitch.
"Hey guys!" Dez entered the room with a big smile. "You'll never guess who I saw at the food court when I was at the Zalien convention!" He paused "Empire of the Sun! That Australian band I like!"
Trish, Austin and I all looked at each other and giggled.
"What's so funny?" He looked confused "Oh" He got that dopey look on his face "It the feelers isn't it?" He flicked them making them shake around.
Trish rolled her eyes "No Dez-"
He cut her off "Ah it's the pants isn't it" He sighed.
"What? No…You're wearing normal pants Dez" Trish looked annoyed.
"Uh, nuh-uh." He pulled his suspenders and his pants lit up and flashed different colors.
Trish paused and looked at him with her eyes squinted and her mouth open.
"Um Dez, we have good news" I intercepted laughing awkwardly.
"Really? What is it?" He looked my way and perked up.
