Hello! So how was everyone's first day of school? Mine was okay. At least I get lunch with my friends this year! I was all alone last year because everyone I knew had a different lunch than me. Anyway, the next chapter is up and you guys are lucky that I didn't have any homework today. So I had some spare time write a short chapter today! It isn't one of my longer chapters, but it's still something! Hope you guys like it. Enjoy!
Austin POV
I still couldn't believe I sang that song in front of Abby. I wondered if Abby knew it was about her. I really hope not. It was around 9pm when we reached the music store. Ally, Trish , and Dez were all there, looking exhausted like they haven't slept in a week. The day is over, and I'm also exhausted. I said hi to everyone, but I dragged my butt to the practice room to lie down. Dez came in and sat next to me.
"Man. I never knew Ally could so bossy. She seriously worked me to death. I was filling balloons for 3 hours straight, and she wouldn't even give me a break. At least you got the easy job, Austin. why couldn't I be the one to spend the day at the beach?"
"I don't think Ally's sister could spend a whole day with you. No offense, dude, but I'm the only person that can actually survive a day with you. Besides, I don't you would've have fun anyways. We just shopped the whole day and she she clothes while played games on my phone." I was lying, but I didn't want to tell Dez my actually day. "Anyway, I think crushing on Abby was a bad idea. She's too old for me, and it's obvious she's out of my league. I will never be good enough for her. So there's no point in trying anymore."
"This is good! Now you won't be awkward when you perform at her party on Saturday. By the way, I'm not supposed to tell you this, but since Ally's in a good mood. She's letting you perform for a full hour instead of a half hour. This is so awesome! Do you even have enough songs to sing for a full hour?"
Ally's letting me sing even more now? All I did was keep her sister company today. Is she really letting me sing so much? She been really nice to me lately. Maybe I should do something nice for her back.
"Of course this is awesome! Hopefully Ally will be able to write a new song in time for the party. If I help out with the rest of the party stuff, maybe she will." It was 9:15pm, and everyone around me was tired of a long day. Dez said good bye and Ally came to the practice room to check up on me. She looked like she needed a good nights sleep, and it was obvious she was trying to hide it.
"Again, thanks so much for today, Austin. I couldn't have done this party without you. The venue is ready. All that's left is invitations and catering. And since you've been such a great friend. Wait for it... I'm letting you sing for an hour instead!" she was waiting for an explosion of emotion, but it didn't come. "Aren't you excited that I gave you more stage time?"
"Yeah I am. but Dez kinda already told me." She frowned a little, but it was a cute frown, like when I booped her nose. She sat down next to me on the couch, and smiled from ear to ear.
"Why so smiley?"
"I'm just really glad that you're my friend. I still can't believe that you did this for me. How can I repay you?" Why does Ally have to repay me? I thought I had to repay her. The next thing I knew she leaned in and gave me a huge hug. Ally doesn't smell like the beach like her sister, but she smelled like wood from violins and guitars, with a hint of lemon, like cleaning supplies. And for some reason, this made me feel so warm and cozy on the inside. I didn't want to let go, but Abby called from downstairs that it's time to go. Ally released her grasp and smiled at me before she stood up. She said bye and left the store in the next 5 minutes.
I stayed at the store for another half hour just thinking about what happened today. Just this morning I couldn't stop thinking about Abby, but now that the day is over, Abby is the last thing on my mind. I learned so much about Ally without Ally ever being near. I reached in my pockets, getting ready to lock up the store, when I felt this small box across my hand. I took it out and remembered about the charm bracelet I bought at the boardwalk, and the funny thing is, is that I thought about Ally when I opened it. Not Abby. Should I have thought about Abby? I originally bought it for her birthday, but I didn't seem like something she would want.
I was walking home, still staring at the box in my hand. I couldn't think straight, so when I got home I crawled in my bed, I put the box under my pillow, hoping that I would forget about it when I wake up the next morning. During that night, I had the strangest dream I have ever had in a long time.
It was about Ally.
What is this dream going to be about? It's not going to be anything rash and inappropriate. I'm trying to keep this story have a low rating, so everyone can read it. Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter!
