Hey people I'm back as you see. So there is not much to say so let's get started, yay.

Ally's POV

The ceremony had just started. I saw a lot of my family here that I haven't seen for a long time and that means even before I left. Me, jay, and amber take a seat close to the back just before I see that one face that makes me melt. The one face I was afraid to see here.

Austin's (very first) POV

The ceremony just started when I hear the back door open slightly. At first all I see is a women probably in he early twenties holding and little blonde girl that looked about four or five. I figure that they are just some more of Lester's family, but then I see her. The person I've been lost without for almost four years. The person I have been wanted to see, kiss, hold, hug, whatever. That's my ally. That is my ally. It takes all my strength to keep me from running over there, picking her up and hugging her.

Ally's POV

I'm pretty sure Austin has been staring at me for the past three minutes. I pretend like I don't notice and after a while he turns around and tunes into the ceremony. And so do I.

"And know, as I was just informed, Lester Dawson's daughter is here and I would like to ask her to come up here and say a few words." I hear the announcer say. I probably should have seen this coming shouldn't I. I give jay a worried look and start to walk up to the front stand which is right next to my dads coffin which I'm glade is closed. I don't think I would be able to bare it if it wasn't.

"Ok, well um I'm ally Dawson, Lester's daughter and I guess I probably should have known I would have been speaking today. Well um here goes. Um, my father was an amazing man. He was loyal and kind and he was my best friend." I'm really not focusing on the crowd right now. I'm just kind of talking to my dad I guess. " He helped me through all my ups and downs and everywhere in between. He believed in me when no one else would, he would understand my biggest problems no matter how ridiculous they might have been. And he… um… he didn't deserve what I did to him and because I did what I did, I didn't get to say good-bye." I am starting to tear up by now. "He… um… he was…." I turn to my dad's coffin now totally disregarding the crowd in front of me, tears streaming down my face. "*Sigh* I'm sorry. I'm so sorry left without telling you where or why or… I'm sorry." I'm practically balling now. I can't take this any more "I'm sorry I can't do this." and walk out leaving jay and amber still sitting in the back of the building. I just sat on the ground right outside the building door.

Austin's POV

Ally just walked out. She just walked out. Oh no. Wait what if she is going back into hiding. What if she is leaving right now! I just found her I can't let her go now! I get up and run after her. I walk out and see her sitting on the ground sobbing into her hands right outside the door. I sit down next to her and put me arm around her, she leans her head on my shoulder.

"Do you think I'm a bad person?" I hear her ask through her hands.

"Of course not ally. Why would you ask that?"

"Because I ran away without telling even my own dad where I was going or why or… anything. And then I run out on his funeral. I'm an awful daughter aren't I." she finally looks up at me.

"Ally, you are not an awful daughter. You are the farthest thing from an awful daughter you are great and amazing, wonderful, loyal daughter anyone could ask for. I've seen you and your dad together; he loved you and would never love you less for doing any of the things that happened."

"Thanks Austin. You always did know what to say." She finally smiles. I missed that smile.

"Hey, well how about we go back in? You won't have to speak just come sit with your old friends. We missed you."

"I don't know. I actually came here with a friend of mine and…" I knew she would try and protest. But if you know me I'm not giving up.

"They can come sit up with us too, if they want, come on, I know you. You want to, you waanntt to." I say jokingly poking her on the shoulder. I know ally, you, just got to make her laugh. "Come on." I plead one more time before she gives in and we walk in together. She signals the girl and toddler she walked in with to follow and they sat up with us. Ally sat right next to me, which I was glad and then on the other side of her was the two mystery people. The ceremony ended in about an hour, hour and a half later then they put his body in the ground and are now at the "reception" or whatever you call it. Ally is talking to the two mystery people over at a table in the back. I walk over.

"Hey ally, so who is this?" I ask kind of just butting in.

"Oh Austin, um… this is jay. She was my friend back in Pennsylvania."

Ally's POV

"Oh Austin, this is jay. She was my friend back in Pennsylvania." I say. I'm gonna moved again anyway so I guess it doesn't matter if he knows where I was.

"And who is this little cutie?" he asks referring to amber.

"Oh this is amber, my daughter." Jay steps in.

"Well she is adorable." I can see amber smile at this.

"Are you Austin moon?" Amber asks, again with a huge smile on her face and twiddling her fingers.

"Why yes. I. Am." She giggles again knowing that, one this is her favorite singer and two, that this is her father.

"I like you." She chimes.

"Well I like you too amber."

After a little while jay and amber went to go "explore" and Austin got pulled away by some random people so I'm just kind of sitting here when a big, plumper looking man walks up to me.

"Hello miss. Dawson I'm Peter Max, your father's lawyer. I'm here to talk to you about the business your father owned, Sonic Boom; he wrote in his wills that he is giving the property to you. So I wanted to talk to you about what you're going to do with it." Peter says.

"What do you mean?" I ask

"Well I wanted to know if you wanted to keep the property, sell it, or pass it on to someone you know." He answers.

"Well I guess I could sell it. I mean I'm not staying here and I'm not sure of anyone who would be able to manger it. My friend Trish isn't exactly responsible, dez is… well if you knew him wouldn't put him in charge of anything either, and Austin has his other career… so I guess I'm selling it." I say kind of disappointed.

"Alright then I will start looking into buyers as for now would you be willing to look after the property until we can find someone?" he asks

"I mean I guess but only as long as you promise I won't have to stay for long, I can't stay for long." I say very seriously.

"Of course miss. Dawson. Well nice doing business with you." And with that he walks away.

I scan the room and can't seem to find amber and jay. I'm about to get up and look for them when two large hands cover my eyes.

"Guess who?" I hear a voice behind me says. That voice also happens to belong to Austin.

"Um...Austin." I say pretending I didn't know but not trying to be believable.

"Wow still amazing at this game." He says taking his hands off my eyes. We both stifle a laugh and he sits down beside me. "So how have you been." He says not trying to be funny.

"Good, I guess." I say not making eye contact. "You?"

"Fine." He pauses. "But I would have been better if you were there with me." He says trying to look in my eyes but not succeeding since I'm looking down.

"Hey." He says lifting my head up so he can look in my eyes. "You don't have to tell me why you left, just tell me you'll stay." He leans in and kisses me, a light, gentle 'welcome home' kiss. But nonetheless I loved it and I loved him.

The next day at sonic boom Ally's POV

I told jay about the situation with the store and she is cool with staying a few extra days. Today me, jay and amber are going to hook up with Trish, Dez, and Austin later after work. Right now amber is up in the practice room playing around while me and jay are running the store down stairs. I know most parents wouldn't leave their four year old kid alone but, one: she's only upstairs and two: she is really behaved for her age.

"Hey ally where do you want me to put this guitar?" jay says holding up a red and silver electric guitar.

"You can put that over on the back wall with the rest of them." I say pointing to an empty spot on the back wall. She walks over to hang the guitar when Austin walks in.

"Hey alls." He walks over to the front counter.

"Hey." I reply

"Jake?" I hear jay say behind us. Austin turns around and she looks surprised yet disappointed. "Oh. Sorry. You looked like someone I know, from behind." she says still stunned.

"Oh ok." Austin says confused.

"So how is everybody." I say enthusiastically trying to break the awkward silence.

Austin says something first. "Good."

"Great." Jay adds. Right then dez runs in with a tray full of tiny sandwiches.

"Guys! Guess what; a new sandwich store just opened in the food court!" he takes one of them and popping it in his mouth. "Mmmmm." He smiles.

"Hey why don't we all go there when we all go out to lunch?" Austin suggests. We all agree.

Once I close up the store, we meet up with Trish and all six of us, amber included, head over to the Sandwich Barn. Unlike the name would inquire the food was actually pretty good. After we all ate we were just walking around the mall. Trish and Dez's parents wanted them home since it was starting to get late. Not to many people were still there but somehow we ended up walking back to the food court. We picked up some smoothies from Zinga juice. Jay took amber to the bathroom leaving Austin and me alone. While we are waiting we found a small water fountain to sit on (the edge of course). We got into talking about Austin's last tour.

"Ok ok so a group of girls stormed onto your tour bus?" I say giggling and taking a sip of my smoothie.

"Yeah, more then once." We laugh. He just smiles at me for a while.

"What are you doing?" I smile taking another sip

"Just looking."

"Happen too like what you see?" I tease

"It just so happens I do." He smiles back. I missed that smile. There's a short pause. His smile fades. "So how long?" he asks more seriously.

"What?" I say confused

"How long are you going to stay?"

"I thought you wanted me to stay."

"I do, Dear heaven I do." He sounds so heart broken. "But, I know you wouldn't even be here right now if it weren't for your dads funeral. So… how long you stayin'." He gives me a fake smile.

"I don't know." I sigh. "I'm looking after Sonic Boom until they can find someone to take it over so… I guess we'll just have to wait and see."

"Can I ask you something?" He smiles

"Sure. What is it?"

"That while you're here, am I allowed to do this." He smirks and leans in and kisses me. We kissed at the funeral but that only lasted like two seconds. This kiss, this was different, and it deepened pretty quickly too. He raises his hand to cup my cheek. I rest my hands on his shoulders and we just stay there, and I'm glad. I don't want this kiss to end even though I know it has to. We come apart when we hear footsteps. It's jay, amber resting on her shoulder. We quickly scoot away from each other.

"Hey guys, I think ambers pretty tired. I'm gonna take her back to the hotel." Jay says shifting to hold amber better.

"Oh alright. I'm comin'." Jay turns to walk back to the car. I stand and so does Austin. We both have pretty big smiles.

"Well, good night I guess." He smiles

"Yeah, night." I turn to leave. I take a few steps then turn back to Austin for a sec. "And the answer to your question, is yes." I smirk they walk to catch up with jay.

When we get back to the hotel jay and I put amber to bed then since it is only eleven (we stay up late a lot) we pop in a movie and plop on the couch. As the movie starts jay looks over to and me and smiles, more like smirks.

"What?" I ask still smiling. She turns to the TV the smile still plastered on her face.

"I saw you, by the fountain." Her smirk grows bigger, if that's even possible.

"How much did you see?" I say a little embarrassed

"All of it." She looks over to me again then back to the screen. There is a pause. "I'll give you credit though he's cute." I giggle at her comment.

We watch the movie for a while. "What was with you thinking Austin was jake?" I ask.

"Well they kind of look alike, haven't you've noticed?" Jay says back.

"Not really. I mean Jake is a little taller the Austin is, Jake has brown hair Austin has dirty blonde, more on the blonde side."

"I'm not saying their twins but look at their faces, they look pretty similar." She says taking a handful of popcorn. I think for a second.

"I guess they kinda do." I say a little stunned. "Does he know you're here, you know in Florida?"

"No, but I'm going to call him tomorrow." Jay smiles. Jake and jay were dating since they were like fifteen, now she is Twenty-one, (I'm twenty, but still we still act like we are seventeen) last month Jake had to move to Coral Springs; FL. Jay wanted to go with him but knew she couldn't. Jay has still been head over heels with him even after all these years and plus him being miles away for the past month. An now since we are in Florida and only a little over a half hour apart she is determined to see him.
