Author's note: so I'm typing this as I'm in the car. Thank you Microsoft Word for not needing Wi-Fi to operate. Last chapter, Austin found out everything. Almost everything. *Evilly laughs* So you guys are really like this story, as I can tell by the super sweet reviews. Here's chapter 3 of, "Stuck on You" I don't own A&A.
Review replies:
IsbbyShipper (Guest): Thank you. My little brother HATES Austin and Ally so much. And by your review I can tell that you know it's Autism Awareness Month. Just a question but do you have anyone autistic in your family? Just wondering.
Livelearnlovesing: I'm here now. Aren't I?
Purplenutellaaaa: Trust me. You don't know the half of it.
Middlechild3 (if you're reading this): I read chapter 7 of "Madness" and thanks. I really REALLY appreciate it.
Ally's POV
It's been a week since Austin and I kissed. I've tried to forget about the kiss but, Austin is a big part of my life. I'm a big part of his. We're part of each other's. Why would I kiss Austin? I only met the guy two weeks ago. But I feel like he will be an even bigger part of my life. Sure he does look a lot like Andrew but…that doesn't matter. Austin is my friend and nothing else.
Today, I'm singing my song for music class. I'm super scared. I never really perform any more. I just hope that…Austin likes it. And by Austin I mean Andrew. When I'm performing, I almost always sense that he is present. I only ever really performed in front of him and Annie. And Drew, I would sing a lullaby to him when he was a baby, in order to get him to sleep. Okay, I still sing it now to him. Not my fault he likes it. And my voice. The song is called, "You Can Come to Me".
"Come on, Ally. You'll be great. I just..." Austin said.
Austin is looking at the pictures of Drew and Andrew. I have a few scattered in my locker. I remind me of my boys. My amazing boys.
"Wow. That's Drew." Austin said. He never saw Drew or Andrew before.
"Yeah, that's my son." I say.
"Is it scary, being a single mother and the father isn't even…there?" Austin said.
"At first, but my sister, Annie, helped out a lot. And my neighbor, Mason. They always look after Drew when I'm in school. It's nice to have my family and friends help. Without them, I probably would have dropped out of school. Eventually." I say.
"Ally, I can tell you're are stressing out. Chill, you will be great. I know you will. You are so talented. " Austin said.
"Thanks, let's get to music class. It's a big day." Austin said.
"Tell me about it." I say.
Austin's POV
I can tell that Ally is scared, nervous, stressed, and sad. I know she's missing Andrew. They did have a son together. But he'll never know. He'll never know his dad. But, I have a feeling that a fatherly figure will come into his life. I just don't know who or when. But some lucky boy will. Ally is amazing. She is just pure amazingness.
Ally and I go to Mrs. Marano's class. We take our seats. Right behind each other. Ally is so…
"Okay class, any volunteers to go first?" no one raises there hand, "Okay, looks like I have to pick someone. Allyssa, why don't you go?"
"Okay." Ally gets up.
"Are you performing with an instrument?" Mrs. Marano asked.
"Guitar." Ally said.
"Whenever you're ready, Allyssa." Mrs. Marano said.
Ally sits on the stool, grabs the acoustic guitar, and starts to play. She's really talented. And so…
Ooh, ooh, yeah
Okay, maybe I'm shy
But usually I speak my mind
But by your side, I'm tongue tied
Sweaty palms, I turn red
You think I have no confidence
But I do, just not with you
I can see my other classmates. They're looking at each other. I can see wonder in their eyes. Almost as if this wasn't a simple love song. Isn't it?
Now, I'm singing all the words
I'm scared to say
Yeah
So forgive me if I'm doing this all wrong
I'm trying my best in this song
To tell you, what can I do?
I'm stuck on you
Ally never showed me the whole song beyond this line. I think she wanted it to be that way. Until this class, this period, this minute, this second, this moment. This moment. And now I think I know why.
I'm hoping, you feel what I do
'Cause I told mom about you
I told her, what can I do?
I'm stuck on you
And like the night sticks to the moon
Boy, I'm stuck on you
Oooh, ooh, yeah
I can see a single tear drop from Ally's eye. I follow. And so does about half the class. It's sweet but sad. I wonder how hard it is for Ally to sing this song.
Look at me, perfectionist
Yeah, I'm a workaholic
I'm on my phone, I feel at home
I don't like rules, but make my bed
Floss to keep my teeth perfect
Yeah it's true, I got issues
So I'm singing all the words
I'm scared to say
Yeah
So forgive me, if I'm doing this all wrong
I'm trying my best in this song
To tell you, what can I do?
I'm stuck on you
I'm hoping, you feel what I do
'Cause I told mom about you
I told her, what can I do?
I'm stuck on you
And like the night sticks to the moon
Boy, I'm stuck on you
Oooh, oooh, yeah
I'm stuck on you
Once Ally, is done there's a long silence. Ally's face starts to turn red. But not of embarrassment but, of fear and that she's scared. She's scared of what everyone will think. This song must have meant a lot to her. I can see it in her face.
After a few short, awkward moment, I start to clap. Then, everyone starts to clap. I stand up. Others follow. Soon the whole class is in a standing ovation. Ally deserves it. I can tell that the song came from the heart.
Ally eyes turn almost scared and sensitive. Her tears become more intense. She darts out of the room. She is scared. And worried. And nervous.
"Allyssa, I never told you…" Mrs. Marano starts to say.
"Mrs. Marano, let me go after her." I say.
"Okay." Mrs. Marano said.
I dart down the hallways until I find Ally by the trash can close to her locker. She's crying. But not a loud cry more like an upset cry.
"Andrew." that's all I say.
I look at the picture. Andrew's eyes are lighting up and he has a big smile on his face. Speaking of his face, I can now study it better. He has jet black hair and bright green eyes, but I knew that. His teeth are really white and straight. Maybe he had braces. He is also built like me (You know what Ross Lynch's body looks like).
"I took this once he found out that I was pregnant. He was so happy. Which made me happy." Ally flips to the next picture.
The next picture is just of Ally. She's hooked up to one of those ultra sound thingys. I can faintly see the monitor. It shows a very small, under developed baby. Ally's face is lit up like a Christmas tree. She has a big smile on her face.
"This one was taken by Andrew once we heard the heartbeat for the first time. That was such a great moment." Ally said.
"How did it feel? Hearing your son's heartbeat?" I ask.
"It was amazing. Cloud 9 amazing." Ally said.
"Wow, you used, Cloud 9, a lot." I say.
Ally flips to the next picture. I see some tears being shed.
"Ally, are you okay?" I ask like a good friend.
It's a picture of Andrew and Ally. Ally is in a long white dress with a pastel green belt. Andrew is wearing black jeans with a pastel green tee-shirt. I'm noticing a trend.
"Th-th-this one is of my baby shower. We chose a light pastel green everything. A color that could work of either a boy or girl." Ally said.
Ally starts to cry even more. She cries into my lap. I have a feeling this next picture will break my heart.
She flips to the next picture. It's Ally holding Drew. There's a boy with black hair on a hospital bed. He's hooked up to a lot of metical stuff. His eyes are closed.
"Th-th-this-this this one was taken by Andy's mom. That's Andrew on the bed. It was taken once I got to see Andy. He already had…passed. I'm holding Drew. I wanted a picture with the both of them. Before I couldn't see him. This was really hard on Andy's parents. Sure they had a grandson but lost a son. There only son." Ally said.
"Ally, I'm so sorry. This must be so hard on you." I say.
"It is. You know, this song wasn't just a simple love song. It was a way of letting go. Letting go of Andrew. Sure I'm stuck on him but, I have to get over him. I'm falling for someone else. NO, I'm in love with someone else. But, I know it won't happen." Ally said.
"Why won't it happen?" I ask.
"Because, he's a really great friend." Ally said.
"Ally, you're so beautiful. In every way." I say.
"Really, I am?" Ally said.
"Ally, you're a unicorn." I say.
"A unicorn?" Ally said.
"A rare and beautiful creature that's hard to find (All credit goes to middlechild3 for that line)." I say.
"Really?" Ally said.
"The most beautiful of the unicorns." I say.
Ally and I start to lean in for a kiss. We are so close but…
"Austin, Ally. Mrs. Marano wants you." a girl with darker skin and brown eyes said.
"Thanks, Kira. Give us a sec." Ally said.
"Actually Ally, I want to talk to you for a minute." the girl who I now know is named Kira said.
Ally's POV
I wonder what Kira could want.
"Ally, that song was amazing. My dad, Jimmy Starr, of Starr Records, is looking to sign a new artist. And I was wondering if you would like a meeting with him." Kira said.
"That would be an amazing opportunity that I can't pass by. I would love to." I say.
"Okay, I'll tell my dad." Kira said.
"That would be great. Thank you so much." I say.
"Come on, Mrs. Marano is waiting." Kira said.
Austin's POV
I find my normal seat at lunch. With Ally. I can somehow tell she has good news. Maybe it's because of that talk with that Kira girl.
"Austin, guess what." Ally said.
"I don't know. What." I say.
"Kira got me a meeting with her father. Her father is Jimmy Starr. Of Starr Records." Ally said.
"Alls, that's great. I'm so proud of you. This is your big break." I say.
"I know." Ally said.
Ally puts her arms around my neck and I pick her up and spin her around. I think the whole lunch room is watching. But I really don't care.
"I can't wait to tell Drew! He always believed I me." Ally said.
"You sing to him?" I ask.
"When he was born, I wrote a song for him called, "You Can Come to Me". And when he was younger I would sing it to him as a lullaby. Sometimes I still do now. Even though he's four, he loves my voice too much to not let me sing to him." Ally said.
"I just hope you get the record deal. Ally, you deserve it." I say.
"You know, Austin, I never really heard you sing. You claim how much you love music, but I still never heard you." Ally said.
"How about this. I'll sing to you only if I get to meet Drew." I say.
"Okay, deal." Ally said.
"Really! I mean are you sure?" I say.
"Austin, you know so much about Drew and Andy, it's just right for you to meet him." Ally said.
"Okay. It's a deal?" I say.
"It's a deal." Ally said.
We shake on the deal. Damn! What should I sing?
Sorry about all the weird updating. I actually started this chapter on Saturday, while I was in the car for a five hour drive. But I was visiting with family and only had one day where we really did nothing so I wanted to so nothing but watch TV.
So, who saw Directors and Divas? I did. I loved Grace Phipps as Brandy. It was such a great episode. And the Teen Beach Movie references, were the best. I just loved them. The whole episode was also amazing. Was I the only one who was shocked when Dez toughened up? I don't think we ever saw him like that before. Just a great episode.
So I turned on Disney and I saw that A&A was on. It was the end of the episode and guess what episode it was. That's right, Partners and Parachutes. Did I mention that my brother was in the room? He hates A&A. I turned it on just after Austin dropped the piano on Ally's cake. Am I the only one who can list every episode that coordinates with the slide during, "I Think About You"? It's my favorite A&A episode of all time. My favorite A&A song of all time. And my favorite Auslly moment of all time. Wrapped into about five minutes. I just love that episode.
I don't own "Stuck on You". Please review it up. Next update is this Saturaday but not Sunday because I'll be at my grandmother's house celebrating Easter.
