Ally's Pov
It was in the middle and I thought I was going to fall down because Athena kept jumping up and down my shoulders. And with the loud screams in my ear, it was not worth it. Even Trish was screaming. Then all the sudden he stopped the music and he started speaking into the microphone. I thought he might of saw me and point me out, but lucky he didn't.
"This next song is different from my other songs, and I just wanted to play it for you guys tonight so I hope you like it" he said as the music started playing, he was right it was different from all of his other songs. Then he started singing.
Oh if you could see me now
(Oh if you could see me now)
It was February fourteen, Valentine's Day
The roses came, but they took you away
Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm all the harm
Gotta keep myself calm but the truth is you're gone
And I'll never get to show you these songs
Dad, you should see the tours that I'm on,
I see you standing there next to Mom
Always singing along, yeah arm in arm
And there are days when I'm losing my faith
Because the man wasn't good he was great
He'd say music was the home for your pain
And explain, I was young, he would say
"Take that rage, put it on a page
Take the page to the stage
Blow the roof off the place"
I'm tryna make you proud
Do everything you did
I hope you're up there with God
Saying that's my kid
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
(Oh if you could see me now)
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
Oh if you could see me now
(Oh if you could see me now)
If you could see me now would you recognise me
Would you pat me on the back or would you criticise me
Would you follow every line on my tear stained face
Put your hand on a heart that's was cold
As the day you were taken away
I know it's been awhile but I could see you clear as day
Right now, I wish I could hear you say
I drink too much and I smoke too much dutch
But if you can't see me now that shit's a must
You used to say I won't know I will until it cost me
Like I won't know real love till I've loved then I've lost it
And if you've lost a sister, someone's lost a mom
And if you've lost a dad, then someone's lost a son
And they're all missing now, and they're all missing now
So if you get a second to look down at me now
Mum, Dad, I'm just missing you now
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow?
Oh if you could see me now
Oh... Oh...
Would you call me a saint or a sinner?
Would you love me a loser or winner?
Oh... Oh...
When I see my face in the mirror
We look so alike that it makes me shiver
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow?
Oh if you could see me now
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow?
Oh if you could see me now
Oh...
You could see, you could see me now
(You could see, you could see me now) He finished.
Oh my goodness. I felt like crying and it wasn't because he had hurt like usual, this time it was because of the beautiful song he had just played. Everybody started screaming including me.
The concert the finally ended and there was a meet and greet outside which of course I didn't want to go incase he might recognize me.
"Please, please mommy can we go" Athena said jumping up down.
"Can you go ask Auntie Trish?" I said.
"But I want you to come with me and I don't where Auntie Trish is" Oh I forgot she went to the bathroom.
"Fine let's go" I said walking her to the long line hearing her squeal in excited. It took about 20 minutes until we got to the front of the line and I kept trying to hide my face with my hands so he couldn't see me.
"What's your name sweetie" Austin asked. But Athena couldn't say anything because she was so love strucked or whatever you want to call it for a 3 year old, about to be be 4 in a day.
"Her names Athena" I said for her and I swore I saw him look at me boldly like he was trying to remember something.
"Do I know you? You sound familiar" Crap.
"Um no" I said.
"Really then move your hands away from your face" he said. I slowly removed them and put my hair over my face instead and Athena was looking at me weird. Just then Trish came back, what the heck was she doing in a bathroom for 20 minutes? She probably got lost.
"And your hair" he said.
"Mommy why won't you show him your face" Athena said. I then moved moved my hair hoping he wouldn't recognize me and ignoring Athena's question. When I looked up at him, I saw his eyes widen in surprise.
"Ally, is that you" he asked still unsure. I nodded slowly not sure what else to do and I'm pretty sure people behind us were getting aggravated. I wanted to run more then anything but I couldn't.
"Ally you know him?" Trish said surprised.
"Ally I can't believe your really here, I've been trying to get in contact with you over the few years but I couldnt, your mom even wouldn't tell me" he said standing up and reaching out to me.
"Don't touch me" I said sternly. I said backing up and by now everyone and I mean everyone was looking at us.
"Ally please don't do this again. I thought I'd never see you again" he said coming closer to me.
"I said don't touch me. Your right I thought I would never see you again either but I only came here for one reason" I said bringing Athena to my side.
Austin glanced at her then back to me. "Mine?" He said and I knew exactly what he meant.
"No mine, remember you didn't want nothing to do with her" I said quieter so no one could hear.
"Ally I wasn't ready, I thought you would understand" he said.
"Whatever I'm leaving, come on Athena" I said taking her hand and walking her away from him.
"Ally!" But I ignored him and kept walking.
The song is called If you could see me now by the script. I love that song and I just heard of it recently. You should listen to it and tell me what you think about.
The request I got from guest saying that I should use the song Jar of hearts, I will totally do that but it will have to be later in the story.
Please review and tell me what you think of this chapter and I am open for requests that you want to happen in the next chaper. I know this chapter is kind of short so I'll try and make the next one longer.
Thank you, peace.
