A/N Another pretty long chapter! :) Haha. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin&Ally nor am I associated with it in any way. All characters belong to Disney, however, I created Ian. All I did was twist the story line. I also don't own the song "Never Say Never" by The Fray, nor am I associated with The Fray.
I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the door. I groaned as I sat up in bed, my hair still in a messy bun. I was wearing boxers (they're comfortable to sleep in, okay?) and a tanktop. I rubbed my eyes and walked down the stairs barefoot. Dad was at work, so he couldn't answer the door. I glanced at the clock we have in the hallway and realized it was noon. Shocked I had slept in so late, I hurried to the door as the knocking continued. When I opened the door, I was shocked.
There was Austin Moon, acting all casual. When he saw me, a smile crossed his face. I blushed, suddenly self conscious of what I was wearing. "Austin!" I hissed, closing the door a little more, "What are you doing here?! I said we would meet at Sonic Boom!"
He giggled. "I know, I went there and your dad said that you weren't there so I should come here. So, here I am." He leaned against the wall.
I sighed. "Couldn't you have called me or something to let me know you were coming?"
He shrugged. "I would, but I'm afraid you never gave me your number."
I scoffed and opened the door, giving up, and let him in. He made his way to the couch and sat down. "Okay..." I sighed, "I'm going to go take a shower and then we'll go to Sonic Boom. The TV remote is on the coffee table, there's drinks in the refrigerator. I'll try and hurry."
He nodded, so I scurried up the stairs, gathered a tee shirt and shorts and a pair of black Converse, stripped my clothes, and showered. When I got out I just dried my hair and put it back into a pony tail instead of curling it. I wanted to give him the impression that I didn't have anyone to impress.
When I came back down the stairs, he was on the couch with an empty can of soda in his hand. He smiled at me, and got up. "About time," he said, raising an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my Book off the counter. "Come on, let's go."
In the car, I decided to bring up something to break the silence. "Do you have a beat in mind? Or any lyrics?"
He shrugged. "I was hoping to go for a more slow song, because most of the songs I sing at The Pier are fast and upbeat. I thought maybe it could be a little more... I don't know, maybe even sad? I want to audience to really feel the song, for it to get to them."
I nodded, quickly writing everything that he said in my Book. "Okay, that's good." I said. "Most the songs I write are slow anyways."
When we got to Sonic Boom, I greeted my dad and then led Austin up to the practice room. "Woah," he said, "it's really cool in here. Is all this yours?"
I smiled. "Yeah, my dad bought me all this for my birthday a few years ago. It really comes in handy." I lead him over to the piano, sat on the bench, and patted the seat next to me to motion for him to come over.
He sat, and ran his fingers lightly over the keys. "Nice piano." He commented. "Thanks." I replied, flipping through my book for some melody beats I hadn't yet put into a song. I found one, finally, and asked him if he liked it as I slowly played it on the piano. He nodded, grinning. "I love that." He commented, and I smiled, taking my hands off the keys. "You play it." I instructed. He scoffed and said, "What is this, a piano lesson?" Then he began matching my melody perfectly. I laughed. "Okay, good. Now, we need a first verse..."
3 Hours Later
Some things we don't talk about
Rather do without
And just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
The same damn problem
Together all the while
You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time and time again
Younger now than we were before
Our first verse was finished, and it took us forever to perfect it. I mostly wrote the lyrics, but he threw in a few lines in here and there. I'm pretty impressed with it, so far.
"What do you think for the chorus?" I asked. He shrugged. "I've noticed that in most songs, the parts that really touch you the most are the parts that only say one thing. Like, over and over again."
I nod, slowly letting what he was saying process. "What do you think these lyrics are basically saying?" I ask him. He stares at them, written down in my Book for a minute before answering, "To never let them go."
I nod, with a grin. "That's good!" I answer, then begin playing on the piano again, and singing:
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go...
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go...
I look over at him. "Perfect." He mouthed, and I smile at him. We practice the first verse and the chorus over and over again until it's perfect, and then we realize that we're starving.
"Let's stop for today. We'll go get something to eat in the food court. Can I come back over tomorrow, and we'll finish it? My gig is in two weeks, so I'd like to get it finished so that we can perfect it." He says to me. I nod. "Okay. We're off to a really good start. I love this song." I comment, and he nods. "Me too," he agrees, "it's deep."
We go to the food court and eat before he drops me off back at my house. To my complete and utter surprise, he walks me to my door. "Thank you so much for doing this for me, Ally." He murmurs. "This means a lot to me."
I smile. "It's what I love doing. And I think we make great partners, Austin." I tell him. I think he blushes. It's silent for a moment, he's looking into my eyes, and I think about how, in movies, this is always where the first kiss happens. But he looks away, and clears his throat. "Right, so, I'll see you tomorrow?" He asks me, and I lower my eyes. "Yeah, okay."
Before he walks off, I joke with him to break the tension. "You can just wait on me at Sonic Boom this time." He acts sad about it and pokes out his lip. "But you're so cute in your boxers!"
I roll my eyes and nudge him off the porch. He waves with a smile as he walks off to his car, and drives off.
