Disclaimer- don't own A&A or the song "Saviour" by Lights. The lyrics look multi-gender so I think it's okay to use.
Ally's POV
"Hey, Ally!" Austin says, entering the practice room. "How's the song coming?"
"Pretty good." I respond.
"Let's see it." He tries to touch my book. He never learns, does he?
"Don't touch my book." I hiss.
"Okay, okay!" He says, holding his hands up. I smile. "Just give me a sneak peek please."
"Of course." I say. I then start the song.
"The night is deafening
when the silence is listening
and I'm down on my knees
and I know that something is missing
because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
but I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them
I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it
'cause I start losing my head then I get up in a panic
Remember, when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it?
I don't want to know
I just wanna run to you
and break off the chains
and throw them away
I just wanna be so much
and shake off the dust
that turn me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I need a saviour
It will never change
if you want it to stay the same
I really hate it
but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained
and when it's all you control
'cause you got nothing else to hold
You're getting tighter and tighter
It's getting harder to let it go
I don't want to know
I just wanna run to you
and break off the chains
and throw them away
I just wanna be so much
and shake off the dust
that turn me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I need a saviour
Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
Free my hands and feet
and maybe I won't always fall
Save me
I just wanna run to you
and break off the chains
(Save me)
and throw them away
I just wanna be so much
and shake off the dust
(Save me)
that turn me to rust
I just wanna run to you
(Just wanna run to you)
and break off the chains
(Save me)
and throw them away
I just wanna be so much
(Just wanna be so much)
and shake off the dust
(Save me)
that turn me to rust
Sooner than later,
I'll need a saviour
(Save me)
I need a saviour"
"What do you think?" I ask.
"It's nice." He replies.
"Just nice?" I ask, hurt.
"Okay, it's wonderful!" He says in mock enthusiasm.
"Thank you." I smile.
"So Ally.." He starts.
"What?" I ask. That came out more harshly than I intended.
"Ummm..." he stumbles. Thankfully, Trish comes in at that moment.
"Hey, Trish!" I say brightly.
"Did I interrupt something? Like a nice moment?" Trish asks. That little matchmaker.
"Nope. Now, is there something you wanted to ask or say?" I ask her, again, harsher than I intended.
"I just came to say there's a scene between Lauren and the assistant to be filmed at the beach in ten minutes." Trish tells me.
"Okay, I'll be there then." I say. She leaves the practice room. "I should probably head to the beach now."
"I'll come." He says instantly. I smile.
"Thanks, but I can manage. See you after filming the scene." I say, leaving the practice room.
Austin's POV
Ally leaves the practice room, and I sit on the piano bench. "Why is she not feeling the same way?" I ask myself. Unfortunately, it's probably an question that will never be answered.
Or will it?
I suddenly make a promise to myself. I will figure out if Ally likes me back. I will not rest until I get an answer.
