Sometime Around Midnight

by Jumping out of aeroplaneees

Four years ago- Austin suddenly left for tour, leaving all of his friend behind. Those four years were the worst years of his life. When he travels to New York for a press conference, he runs into Ally. Suddenly he has no idea what to do and how to feel. All he wants is to fix the damage between them, but little does he know, he is the damaged one. (I'm sorry for the summary)

3. Chapter 3

Present Day

The only people Austin is in contact with are Dez and his family. Dez recently moved out to Los Angeles to pursue his film career and to keep Austin company. Things haven't changed between them, besides the fact that they are both 21 and are able to drink legally. They usually went to the bar on Friday and have a beer or two and just talk.

Austin's mom left him a letter on the counter from Marino High School, something Austin never wanted to see. He was embarrassed that he dropped out of high school just to be famous. He would have rather been no one than someone. He opened the letter and sighed.

"Austin Moon,

We would like to have you back this spring to play our spring bash. It would mean a lot to the community if you could join us one last time.

-Jonathan Richards

Principal"

Go back to Miami and play their spring bash…why me? He thought. Spring is coming soon. He would have to leave and get ready in the next month, then go straight on tour.

Austin paced back and forth in the kitchen trying to figure out what to say to the school. Would he do it?

"Hello, may I speak to Jonathan Richards, please?" his voice trembled. He was nervous. He left Miami in such a rush, and it hurts him to think about it.

"This is he, may I ask who this is?" Jonathan asked.

"It's Austin Moon," he sighed and paced back and forth.

"Austin Moon, it's been a while since I have seen you, what are you up to?" he asked.

"Nothing really. Finished up a world tour three years ago, I've been in Los Angeles recording some stuff and doing mini tours. Hey, I got your letter about the spring bash."

"We need to know in the next few days if you want to do it," Jonathan cut him off.

"I'll do it, you can count on me. When is the date again?" He asked. It was not unusual for Austin to perform the spring bash. He would do it every year in high school.

"Its early this year. The date is March 4."

He looked at the calendar and realized that he would have to leave in a few days. Not a month, but a few days. How the hell was he going to figure this out?

"I'll leave tomorrow for Miami, I'll see you on the fourth," he sighed, immediately purchasing a flight ticket for him and Dez.

"We're looking forward to having you again, why don't you stop by the high school again and take a tour? We'd love to see you and possibly Dez if you're still in contact with him." He said and hung up.

"Leave for Miami…tomorrow morning?" Dez looked at Austin in suspicion. He was hesitant at first, but if it meant seeing Trish he was down for it. "Okay! I'm down," he grinned.

"I already booked the tickets, so there wasn't really an option," he laughed. "Maybe we can stop by to see Dallas and Elliot if they're still living there," he suggested.

"That's a great idea!" he high fived him. "Have you told Kelly you were leaving her for a few days?" he asked.

"Nope, to be honest, things aren't working out with us. I'd rather keep it on the down low."
