Thanks to all my reviewers for their support and my anonymous readers as well! Also the lyrics written in this chapter were written by me, so sorry if they aren't the best lol!

Been running it through my mind

Nothing changes time after time

No clue for me to find

And I don't wanna forget it on a dime

The setting was perfect

You and I seemed meant to be

But is it me that in your eyes reflect

Why can't I see what you see

Don't wanna beat myself up over this

But I can't say the words runnin' through my head

And is it you I'll miss

So I'll just sing the words out instead

The setting was perfect

You and I seemed meant to be

But is it me that in your eyes reflect

And why can't I see what you see

Why can't I, why can't I see what you see

I finished singing the lyrics as I ended the melody on the piano making adjustments to the song.

"So you can write a song alone, but not with me?" I Austin's voice startled me and I quickly shut my book.

"I-I just had some free time and was playing around. I didn't think anyone would hear me or spy on me." I sighed getting up from the piano bench "Anyways, its back to work for me, sorry Austin."

"Nope, I spoke with your dad and he said you have today off. Stop lying to me every time I ask to hangout or show up at the store. Was the other night that bad to you?" Austin blocked me.

I backed up turning away, my only chance of escape taken "No, but I practically threw myself at you, in a way. Look I don't want to talk about it, okay."

Austin stepped in the room shutting the door as I glanced briefly over my shoulder "I'm not leaving and neither are you until we talk. By the way, you didn't throw yourself at me. We were both caught up in the moment."

I groaned "Yeah, cause that makes me feel so much better. If that's all you wanted to say then let me go. I don't want to talk about it."

"Okay not my best choice of words. Your lyrics, they were about that night, right? Then if you want to know the truth, I'll tell you and don't say you don't want to talk about it again."

He cleared his throat and I stood there avoiding looking at him.

If you want to know what I see

Then let me take you by the hand

Cause you are perfect to me

So let me make you understand

That you're all I see

I finished singing and she refused to look at me. I walked up and got in front of her, but she turned and darted for the door. I ran after her as she swung the door open in a flash and flew down the stairs.

"Oh no you don't we're going to talk this out!" she got to the door right as I caught her around the waist picking her up.

She kicked fighting me to get away "Put me down, you're scaring the customers!"

"I'm scaring them, have you seen yourself?" I put her down next to the counter keeping my arm around her waist to keep her from running.

"Let me go, please." She begged me.

I dropped my head on her shoulder "Ally why are you making this so hard?"

She froze as my breath hit her neck. Ally was quiet for a while as she stood in my arms un able to get away.

"Please Austin; I didn't want to talk about it. It makes things complicated. What about keeping our friendship from being a mess?" she murmured weakening to my persistence a little.

I smiled "We'll always be friends. It won't be a mess and if it is I will take the blame."

Ally laughed humorlessly "Are you serious? That's a bit much. Don't you think?"

"I'm completely serious, kissing you made me realize I'd risk our friendship to be together with you like this." I replied whole-heartedly.

She got quiet and I loosened my grip on her waist as she seemed to give in. Ally started to turn slowly and I smiled victoriously, but then she gave me this look out of the corner of her eye. She quickly slid out of my grasp and ran to the door. I chased after her and she laughed hurrying off.

"You want my answer, right?" she giggled running at top speed with me o her heels.

"Okay, when I catch you. The reward will be that much sweeter!" I followed her out of the mall and down the street.

"Oh do you really think so?" Ally replied dodging me as she ran on "You want my answer you have to catch me!"

I followed her as she ran into a crowd of people and I skidded to a halt as two guys carrying a couch out of a building blocked my way. They set the couch down to call up to the owner and I took this chance to jump over the couch pushing through the crowd. I had lost sight of Ally until I broke from the crowd and saw her walking across a crosswalk toward the beach. She glanced over her shoulder and ran realizing that I had gotten free of the crowd much faster than she expected. I darted across the walk as the light changed and cars honked.

She ran onto the beach the sand flying under her feet as it slowed her down. I caught up to her, but she turned dodging me a second time and I stumbled before catching myself and following her. She was getting tired fast and so was I, but I pushed myself a little harder grabbing her. We fell and I protected her as we rolled across the sand a little bit.

"Ouch, the beach was not my best idea." Ally sighed landing on top of me.

I laughed and pulled her against me, but she stopped me.

"Ah, ah, ah, it looks like I caught you. No answer or anything else." She smirked.

I rolled over and her smirk was gone.

"Cheater." She laughed.

I leaned my head down kissing her and she briefly responded before pushing me away.

"You don't want my answer first?" she wondered playfully.

"I told you my reward would be sweeter." I smirked.

She pushed me off of her "I guess my answer doesn't matter to you."

Ally brushed the dirt off of herself as she sat up.

"You mean that kiss wasn't an answer." I smiled sitting up as well.

"I haven't decided, yet." She teased and got up "Anyways, I got to go back to the shop. I'll race you back."

She began to run off and I got up laughing and following her.

I'm already planning the next chapter so look out!
