Austin's POV

We pulled up into the karaoke resturant's parking lot. The ride wasn't all to bad, but it was still awkward. I tried to keep to myself unless Trish or Dez said something to me. Other than that I stayed quiet. We got out of the truck and headed towards the doors. We entered and a waiter showed us to our table. We took our seats, me and Dez on one side. Ally and Trish on the other. We ordered our food, me just getting 2 slices of pepperoni pizza and a coke.

Trish started the conversation. "So Austin, what was with that Richard guy calling you out?" she asked.

I sighed. "We boxed, I won, he is pissed and wants to fight me yet again." I said and she nodded.

"Are you going to give him another chance to redeem himself?" she asked curious now.

"I thought about it, but I'm not sure." I said.

"Come on Austin, do it! I wanna see you fight in person!" she said and Dez agreed.

I heard Ally mumble something and Trish gave her a cold glance and she shrugged. I wonder what she said...

"I might." I replied and our food was brought to us. We dug into our food, well I took a bite here and there. But I really wasn't to hungry. I kept sneaking glances at Ally who was in a deep conversation with Trish and Dez. This was a place for karaoke as well so I watched as person after person walked onto the stage and performed. I guess I zoned out for a while because Trish and Dez was calling my name for the past like 5 minutes.

Dez slapped my shoulder to get my attention. I snapped my head back towards the table and the 3 were looking at me like I was crazy. "Dude, we have been saying your name for 5 minutes and you completely ignored us!" Dez said.

I laughed awkwardly. "Oh yeah, I guess I just sorta zoned out..." I said and returned my attention to the stage.

"We could tell, and hey Austinnnnnnnn." Trish said and I looked at her.

"Whatttttttttt?" I said mocking her just a little.

She rolled her eyes. "Since you are so interested in the performers, why don't you perform a song yourself?" she said and Dez agreed quickly, nodding his head many times.

"I don't think so, I haven't sang in a whole year. I'm probably not as good as I used to be." I said and they shook their heads.

"Who cares, it's karaoke. It's just for fun, just one song. Please?" Trish begged and after a few minutes of begging I finally agreed.

"Fine, I will!" I said and got up. I headed towards the stage as the performer finished their song. I walked up the the DJ to request a song to sing.

"Yo man, what song you wanna sing for us today?" he asked and I thought for a moment. I decided on a song and told him. I walked onto the stage and everyone's eyes were on me. I got a rush from all the attention, a very familiar feeling I used to get.

"Hey everyone, my name is Austin Moon. I'm going to be singing a song by Mayday Parade called Stay. I hope you like it." I said as the music started playing...

I began to sing...

I need some time just deliver the things that I need for now

Everything that I feel's like a warm deep calm casting over me

And it's taking me to somewhere new

If you believe that everything's alright

You won't be all alone tonight

And I'd be blessed by the light of your company,

Slowly lifting me to somewhere new

Oh can you tell, I haven't slept very well

Since the last time that we spoke, you said

"Please understand if I see you again don't even say hello."

Please

What a night it is, when you live like this

And you're coming up beneath the clouds,

Don't let me down

All the love's still there I just don't know what to do with it now

You know, I still can't believe we both did some things

I don't even wanna think about

Just say you love me and I'll say "I'm sorry,

I don't want anybody else to feel this way"

No, no, no

Oh can you tell, I haven't slept very well

Since the last time that we spoke, I said

"Please understand I've been drinking again, and all I do is hope"

Please... stay

Please stay

I'll admit I was wrong about everything

Cause I'm high and I don't wanna come down

All the fun that we had on your mothers couch

I don't even wanna think about

I'm not strong enough for the both of us

What was I supposed to do

You know I love you

Woah-oh

Please just stay

Stay

I finished the song. I was breathing heavy as I met the glance of the crowd. It was silent, was I that bad? As I thought that, the whole place exploded in applause and cheering. I couldn't help but smile as I hopped off the stage and ran towards our table. Trish and Dez were clapping as I pulled them into a hug. I was so excitied that they liked it, I still got it!

"Austin, you were amazing!" Trish said smiling.

"Yeah man, you killed it up there." Dez said patting me on the back. I looked towards the table and noticed Ally wasn't there.

"Thanks guys, but hey. Where did Ally go?" I asked and they looked at each other.

"I don't know, she got up and left halfway through the song." Trish said and Dez shrugged. That hurt, she didn't even stick around to hear me sing...Does she still hate me that much?

"Yanno what? I'm gunna go find her and settle this little feud we have right now!" I said and spun around and started walking. I was stopped by many people congratulating me. As much as I appreciated it, I had to find Ally and settle this shit. I pushed through crowd after crowd and started my search for her. I roamed the place looking for her, and I found nothing. I decided to check the truck, so I headed for the door. I opened up the door and headed towards where I parked, I noticed something. Something that will be burned into my mind for a long time...

Ally's POV

Austin was halfway through the song, and he was really good. Just like he used to be. But I couldn't stand being in there for any longer, I was getting a headache and I needed some fresh air. I walked outside and took a deep breath before heading to the truck and before I got there I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around expecting it to be Trish but I was wrong. It was some guy who reeked of alcohol. He was a big man and I started to get really nervous.

"Uh, can I help you?" I asked him and he started backing me up towards the side of the truck.

"Mmmmm, what's a pretty lady like you doing out here all alone?" he said and I was now leaning against the truck. This is bad, VERY bad.

"Sir, I'm not comfortable with this. Can you back away from me please?" I asked and he chuckled.

"No can do babe, how bout I make you nice and comfortable aye? Then we can have some fun..." he had an evil smirk on his face. He pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms around me. I tried to push him back but he was too big. His hands slid down my back and found their way to my ass. He grasped my ass and I gasped. I reached up to slap him but he grabbed my hand and pinned me against the car with his body. He leaned his head down and started kissing my neck.

"Get the hell off me!" I screamed and he laughed.

"Not until we have some fun ba-what!?" he was cut off when someone grabbed him by his shirt and threw him backwards. That someone was none other than thee Austin Moon himself.

"She said get off you sick bastard!" Austin screamed and the guy didn't look very happy.

"Beat it kid before this gets violent." he said walking up towards Austin.

Austin stood his ground and was now face to face with the man. He was growing impatient.

"I'll give you to the count of 3 to get the hell out of my way. 1...2...3...Fine, have it your way!" he yelled and pulled his hand back into a fist. He swung it at Austin as hard as he could, but he was too slow for Austin. Austin dodged it easily and then slammed his own fist into the guys stomach. It knocked the wind out of him and he bent over, dropping to his knees. He grabbed the guy by the collar of his shirt, picked him up, and pushed him away from us.

"Now get the hell out of here, I don't want to fight you." he said and the guy stumbled away holding his gut.

Austin turned towards me and I was stunned. "Are you okay Ally?" he asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks." and with that I walked past him. Before I could get far he grabbed my arm and spun me around so I was facing him.

"Ally, I came looking for you so I can settle this little feud between us. Will you please just talk to me?" he said and I violently shook my head no.

"No Austin, I don't want to talk to you. I have no intention on working this out with you. Not at all." I said and I could see the hurt in Austin's eyes.

"Please, I feel so bad for what happened between us. You were one of my best freinds and when we fought it literally tore me apart. All I'm asking for is a chance to explain what happened. I know what I said was uncalled for but you never let me explain what happened that day. Can we please talk about this, my life hasn't been the same without you Ally. Give me another chance Ally, I'm begging you." he said and I was silent for the longest time. I thought it over and over in my head, my brain flip-flopping all over the place as I took this all in.

"Please..." he said and I couldn't believe I was going to give in.

"Fine, I'll give you another chance. Can we please just go inside so I can forget about all this?" I said and he nodded. His eyes beaming in joy. We walked back to the place together. We have a lot to tell Trish and Dez...
