It was the next day at school, Trish and I were in the practice room of the Sonic Boom, I tried playing the piano while Trish was laughing.
"It's not funny Trish," I said annoyingly.
"It's hilarious, you were so close to being sen completely naked by Austin moon. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" She said rolling around on the couch.
"Yeah and my sister and Val loved to gripe me out about it calling me a floozy, trying to whore myself out on him," I said turning towards her and crossed my legs after smoothing out my skirt.
"Hey, at least he flirted with you calling you a gift from God." She said sitting up.
"I was naked of course he was flirting with me," I said leaning on my hand.
She was about to say something but was cut off by her ringing phone.
"Oh its work, yeah I was supposed to be back from my break an hour ago. So later." She said before walking out of the practice room, I sat there for a minute before I turned back to the piano and felt the music move within me, my fingers glided along the ivories as the melody played out, then the lyrics just flowed out of my mouth like a river.
I felt myself flying free as I sang I felt like I was truly myself now.
Outside of the practice room was Austin and Dez they were looking around at the instruments right under the practice room and while Austin's mind was wandering he suddenly got a tune and lyrics caught in his head and he began bopping his head and smiled before he got out his pen and began writing it down on his hand.
"So how is the movie deal with Jimmy going?" Dez asked him.
"The same he is telling me I gotta stay out of the spotlight and be a good boy to prove I'm ready to be an actor," Austin replied finishing the song and putting the pen back in his pocket.
"What are you gonna do about Kira's birthday party tonight?" Dez asked him as they walked out of the tacky music store.
"Oh man I completely forgot, I was supposed to sing tonight wasn't I?" he said rubbing his face.
"Yeah and you have your parents party tonight to celebrate their expansion of the mattress store which they invited Jimmy Starr to and what Prince would miss the expansion of his own Kingdom," Dez said with an ignorant smile and only stopped and rubbed his head when Austin gave him a look.
I was scrubbing the floors when calloused feet in spiked heels appeared in front of me.
"Ally." She said making me look up at her.
"Yes, Val?" I asked standing up.
"Austin Moon is singing at Kira Starrs birthday party tonight and the girls are getting ready I need you to go with them and watch the car, because the parking is terrible in that area and they will only be there for a few hours so just sit in the car and wait for them, while they try to get close to him." She said with authority.
"You know valet parking is free right?" I said in confusion.
"I don't care what if he makes a quick getaway so the girls need to be quick to follow him so get ready your leaving." She said before walking off.
"Aw man," I said before heading back t the shed to change.
I hated nights like this when I had to escort the girls for a night out and just sit in the car while they have fun, nit just because I have to sit in the car but also because Gloriana and Courtney always dress up like there alter egos Country Kitty and Glamour Kitty so I have to dress up like Wicked Kitty and be the loner that doesn't like to play.
I looked in the mirror and hated what I saw, I was wearing a black floral dress with red flowers, a black blazer, lace tights, black high top heel boots, with chains and spikes decorating the ensemble, then I had made up my face with brown smokey eyes, dark lipstick, my hair pulled back into a spiky bun, I wore sparkly jewelry with spikes and chains with my sparkly collar with a bejeweled fish skeleton, what completed the look was my cheetah print tail, arm warmers, leg warmers, and ear headband.
I looked not really bad but different and not like me at all.
I grabbed my matching cheetah print purse and walked out to the car then waited for the girls which didn't take long and Val came out with a smile.
"Look at my 2 kitties you both look great." She said taking their picture after I was pushed out of the frame.
I drove up to the non-parking section and parked before the girls took off their animal print kitty wear then got out of the car.
They didn't even talk to me as they got out and gossiped before they walked towards the club, I got comfortable to sit in the car for who knows how long.
Austin snuck behind the club with his hood up and knocked on the backstage door just as Dez opened the door.
"Yes we did it." Austin said as he removed his jacket and switched it with the fancy red leather jacket that Dez had.
"What would you do without me?" Dez said as they ascended the stairs.
The jumbotron outside of the club was showing what was going on inside the club which caught my attention.
"The Birthday girl in the VIP section has a special guest tonight, give it up for Austin Moon." The announcer said as the red-clad boy came out raising his hands and I watched and instantly the music started up that sounded very familiar to me.
"I'll be your entertainer, I'm putting on a show, I'm gonna levitate ya Leave you wa-wa-wanting more." Austin sang as he danced around.
"WHAT?" I said freaking out as I listened to him singing a more upbeat version of the song I sang earlier today at Sonic Boom.
"I see you fascinated, I've got you hypnotized, White gloves with your dream up, A fantasy before your eyes" He continued to sing.
"That lying, cheating, song stealer," I said getting out of the car and locking it before heading towards the club, I was gonna give that boy a piece of my mind, but then I saw the club crowded so I looked around and saw a backstage door in the alley.
I walked heading for it.
"Happy Birthday, Kira." Austin said blowing her a kiss.
"Good night everybody." He said waving to the crowd just as Gloriana and Courtney were finally able to get through the crowd to the stage and missing there chance.
Austin was already gone changing back into his jacket as he headed towards the backstage door.
When I finally got to the door I was about to open it when it was slammed open and I got hit in the head with the very heavy door.
"OW." I said holding my head and seeing the world spin and as the world came into focus I saw Austin.
"Did I just hit you?" He asked the goth cat girl that was now on the floor holding her head.
"No, the door hit me by itself," I said sarcastically.
"This is not good," he said looking around.
"Wait, You're..." I began ready to chew him out but he covered my mouth.
"I will give you front row tickets to my next concert if you don't scream my name," he said quickly.
"That's not what I..." I said shoving him away and trying to stand but I hit my head on a nearby garbage can then my world really began to spin making me fall forward in strong warm arms and seeing Austin say something before my world went black.
Austin saw her fall forward after getting her head hit again and falling into his arms before she passed out.
"Aw Crap," he said looking down at this cat-themed goth girl.
Then a bright light caught his attention.
"Oh thank goodness." He said before he stood up some and grasped her arms to hold her when Dez got out of the car.
"Woah Woah Woah. What happened?" he asked running up to them.
"Help now. Questions later." Austin said hauling her up by her arms while Dez grabbed her legs and they worked together to get her into his shiny red car.
"Who is this?" Dez said after he pushed the front seat back into position once the girl was settled in the back seat of his two door car.
"I don't know," Austin said buckling himself into the driver seat as Dez got in the passenger seat.
"I need to get her to a doctor," Austin said as he backed out of the Alley.
I woke up to a bright light shining in my eyes and the world came into focus as an unrecognizable face came into view with a flashlight in her hand.
"Oh good your awake." the face said in a feminine voice making me look around and finding myself in a doctors office.
"What happened to me?" I asked holding my head momentarily forgetting.
"Well you got hit with a door first then you hit your head on a trash can and passed out." She said writing down on the clipboard.
"So do I have a concussion?" I asked.
"No your brain was just joggled so much from being hit too much so you just blacked out for a little while." She said putting an icepack on my head.
"So she's ok?" Austin came in through the curtain and Dez came in next to him.
"Out." The doctor said making Austin and Dez leave and close the curtain.
"So I can go now?" I asked sitting up.
"Yes but I want you to keep an icepack on that bump until you get home." The doctor said before walking out before Austin and Dez came in.
"So you're ok. I'm really glad. I thought I hurt you." Austin said looking relieved.
"Oh you hurt me alright," I said holding the icepack to my head while I grasped his shirt and yanked him down to look at him in his eyes.
"You stole my song 'Illusion'." I said looking at his face of fear.
"Wait, No I wrote that song." He said pushing my hand away and standing to defend himself.
"No, I wrote it and you heard me singing it at the music store today," I said walking into his personal space.
"How did you know I was at Sonic Boom today." He asked in shock.
"Hah. I didn't the name of the music store." I argued.
"Oh," he said giving a confused look but then realization struck him.
"Oh man. I didn't write a song?" he said sitting down in slight depression.
"No and your gonna tell everyone the truth," I said walking out of the room but a hand was pressed around my mouth and I was pulled back into the room.
"NO, No, no. This secret is gonna stay in this room." Austin said right in my ear.
"Yeah. I word got out that Austin stole a song his reputation is ruined." Dez said as I was held still by Austin's arms.
"Yeah, look I'm sorry I stole your song but you cant be selfish just please," Austin said in my ear.
"Mmm." I tried jerking around in his arms.
"Ok, she isn't listening," Austin said holding me still.
"Well we can't just let her go and tell everyone," Dez said going into a thinker position while I got tired and stopped fighting but then a ringing sounded.
"Are you gonna get that Austin?" Dez said before Austin gave him a look of incredulously.
"Here take her," Austin said before he tossed me at him and I was wrapped in his arms and silenced once again.
"Hello, Mom?" Auston said after answering his phone and before his eyes got wide.
"Ok, I'm on my way." He said before hanging up then looking at Dez.
"I think our problem just got fixed. Let's go." Austin said grabbing my legs and leading Dez out of the office.
"Just take me home." I screamed from the backseat of his car with no way out.
"I will after you promise not to tell anyone about what happened tonight," Austin said as he drove someplace I had no idea where we were going.
"UGH." I groaned sitting back in the seat when I noticed we had pulled into an expensive looking garage filled with a ton of expensive.
"You have got to be kidding me," I said as Dez held the front seat up so I could get out.
Austin lead me inside by my wrist while Dez was behind pushing me.
"You actually live here?" I asked looking around then saw people in fine dress wear.
"Yeah. Why?" he asked when he saw the people as well.
"Where are we going?" I asked as they pulled me up the stairs.
"Gotta go upstairs," Austin said as he pulled me roughly.
"Austin!?" I said as we stopped at a landing and then they lead me into a bedroom.
"Here my guest room, be my guest," he said as Dez blocked the door.
"Do I have a choice?" I asked annoyed.
"Not really. Just Stay." He said waving at me before he walked out of the room and they closed the door and then I heard them put something in front of the door locking me in.
"Oh come on." I said trying the door and failing.
"UGH." I groaned before tossing my bag on the bed and seeing a mirror in the room and a messed up, trashy, goth girl, with messed up hair and makeup, wearing cat ears looking back at me.
"Oh my gosh." I said getting closer to the mirror.
"Aw man." I said before grabbing my bag and heading into the guest bathroom.
Austin put on a concert jacket as Dez followed and they both went out back shaking hands along the way.
"Hey, how are you guys?" He said to many people as they passed heading towards his parents standing next to Jimmy Starr.
"Hi, how are you?" Austin said shaking hands with Jimmy and looking at his parents.
"I'm well, glad to see you. My nieces." He said pointing towards the 2 girls that were with him.
"Hey, nice to meet you." He said shaking there hands.
"I htink they have something to ask you." His Mom said.
"Can you sing us a song?" One of them asked making Austin nod with a smile and go grab his electric guitar and got a mic situated on his cheek.
"Hey everyone, this is a new song I've been working on. I hope you like it." Austin said getting comfortable before he began to strum his guitar and sing.
"Sometimes love's a haunted house, It's like standing in the dark, Flying through the galaxy, Trying to find your lost love." Austin sang as I came out on the balcony, I cleaned off my face replacing my dark lipstick with pink lipgloss, leaving my smokey eyes because they were still looking good and I did have any makeup with me to replace it if I wiped it off. I took my hair down from the bun letting my hair fall in straightened fringe, and I also took off my cat stuff.
I watched the scene down below as Austin sang his song Superhero, though it was going a little too fast and the tones were off some like it was auto-tuned or something and the lyrics sounded way off. I got bored and went back inside but then his song caught my attention so I pulled out my songbook and began rewriting the song he was singing.
After a while I woke up to find that i had fallen asleep reworking on SuperHero though I'm glad it was done I looked at the time I saw it was almost 1 in the morning, I looked out on the balcony and saw that the party has died, the lights were all off completely, I went over to check the door and found it locked still.
"Oh come on," I said going back over to the bed and laying down on it but then the door was jiggled as whatever was put in front of it was moved then it was opened to reveal Austin and Dez.
"Hey sorry that took so long," Austin said coming in and seeing me with my legs and arms crossed while I glared daggers at him.
"Can I go home now?" I asked looking between them.
"Are you gonna keep this a secret?" Austin said coming up to me making me back up on the bed but his attention was caught by my songbook.
"Hey is this SuperHero?" He asked picking up my book.
"Don't touch my book," I said trying to grab for it but Dez was faster in holding me back as Austin read my rewrite.
"Wow, this great and way better then what it was," Austin said with a smile.
"You gonna steal that one too?" I asked trying to fight Dez and failing.
"Well, I can't technically steal a song that was already mine. Technically your plagiarising." He said getting in my face.
"Ok fine take it," I said giving up and relaxing in Dez's grip making him drop me on the bed.
"Alright how about this I pay you everytime I get paid for using both SuperHero and Illusion?" He said shrugging his shoulders with a smile looking down at me.
"I don't want your money. I want my song back." I said getting in his face but Dez kept us separate.
"I can't do that, is there anything else I can do?" Austin said motioning with exasperation and defense.
I sat back down and thought and came up with nothing.
"I guess not," I said giving up sighing.
"Ok well, the money thing is still on the table just in case," Austin said sitting next to me.
"Fine," I said trying to end it.
"Ok, well can i ask for something since we already cleared this up?" He asked looking at me with a childish smile.
"What?" I asked in confusion.
"Another song?" He said holding up my book making me look at it then at him before quickly grabbing it and holding it close.
"NEVER. TOUCH. MY. BOOK." I said glaring at him making him give me a surprised look.
"OK. So that's a no?" He said with a sigh.
"How about this. I will help you WRITE a song and in return, you take me home?" I asked glaring down at him.
"Deal." Austin said excitedly grabbing me around the waist and twirling me.
