Hey, thanks to all of you who wished my shoulder well, it is feeling a whole lot better. I have rewritten this chapter slightly, meaning I added a few lines. Anyway, thank you for the reviews, I have more than my other successful story Complications in the Band. Love you and review at the end, and I will try and get the next chapter up as soon as humanly possible. Enjoy!
Austin's POV:
I woke up at seven o'clock the next morning, frantically looking around. I had absolutely no idea where the hell I was, until I smelled it. Ally's shampoo, she had just walked in after taking a shower. I couldn't really describe the smell of it, but it smelled really good.
"Hey, you're awake," she said, pulling the towel out of her hair.
I stretched and sat up, "Yeah, I am,"
"Well, my dad left for the store an hour ago; please thank me for saving your butt," She said, throwing the fragrant towel on my head.
"How'd ya do that, luv?" I questioned in my horrifically terrible British accent.
"Um," she laughed, "My dad came in to check on me and tell me he was going to open the store. Luckily, he knocks before he enters, so I was awake before he could come in and discover you, Austin Moon, new teen heartthrob, sleeping at the foot of my bed on the floor."
I suddenly snapped my mouth closed. Then, I smirked.
"What's with that evil grin of yours?"
"Oh, nothing, just, you think I'm the new teen heartthrob?" I asked smugly, crossing my arms over my chest.
"No, not me, um, it's all of the teen mags." She said, once again tossing something at me, this time it was a stack of teen magazines.
I looked at each of the covers, every picture was of me, I could barely believe it!
"Now don't get big headed, you need to stay grounded to stay sane." I bit my lip and shrugged, I couldn't disagree. "Oh, and get up, I need to be at the store in a half hour."
"But, I'm comfy," I whined.
She walked over to me, only in a tank top and short shorts, may I add, and sat right in my lap.
"You know this is just gonna make me want to stay here longer,"
"And why is that?" she asked, resting an arm around my shoulder.
"Because, I have a pretty girl on my lap, and you just made me more comfortable." I started laughing.
"You think I'm pretty?" She asked, almost in disbelief.
"Hell yeah, who wouldn't?" I answered instantly.
"Well, Dallas, he says that I shouldn't try to get anybody else, because there is no way they would ever like me or want to date me," (A/N: That was painful to write)
"Do you want to know what I think of Dallas?" she nodded silently, "I think he's a dick, who doesn't deserve you."
She reached down to her wrists and rubbed softly, uncovering bruises he had left on her, marking her otherwise clean and innocent body.
"What the hell is this?" I asked quickly, as if I didn't already know what had happened, gently picking up her arm, examining the damage.
"Dallas, he's been, well, hurting me. I've tried to stop it, but he's too strong, I can't take him." she said, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Ally, why didn't you tell me?" I questioned, looking into her deep brown eyes.
"I was embarrassed, and I was afraid that if I told anyone, he would hurt me worse."
"Do you know what you could do?" I asked, she nodded her head, "You can break up with him, and if you want, I can be right there with you when you do it,"
"I will, the next time I see him, I promise, and thanks"
"You don't have to promise me," I said, lifting her when I got up from my warm bed on the floor. She giggled.
"Why is it that I can never stay unhappy when I'm around you?" She asked, slipping out of my grip and landing on her feet.
"I think it might be my charm, or my masculinity," I teased, returning to my cocky persona, flexing my muscles.
"Yeah, that's it," She smiled and patted my shoulder. "Hurry up and get ready, I have to be at the store in ten minutes!" she yelled from the bathroom.
We arrived at the store and my eyes were drawn toward a poster hanging on the bulletin board toward the front of the store.
KARAOKE NIGHT 6-10 Marty's Mumble Rumble Tuesday January 17, 2012
This was perfect, I will take Ally out to this and sing that song I've had stuck in my head for weeks.
After my affinity, or whatever that's called, I looked over toward my buddy, Dez, he was bickering with Trish, like usual, but this time it was different, there was this little glint in his eye, almost like the one I saw in Trish's eye right now. I walked up to Ally who was running the register.
"Look at them," I whispered in her ear.
"Look at whom?" She asked, rather loudly.
"Shhh, Trish and Dez, that's whom," She glared at me before glancing over at them. Then she smiled and shook a little before turning back around to look at me. "They so like each other,"
"So you saw the glint in their eyes too?"
"They have the same look I have when I look at yo-yummy cupcakes, yummy cupcakes." She repeated.
"Anyway, I also wanted to ask if you wanted to go to the Karaoke Night at Marty's tonight,"
"Um, sure, I'll ask my dad," She walked away and asked him, "He said yes, so, yeah, I'll go. Can we bring Trish and Dez?"
"Yeah, sure, whatever," I waved it off. I was too preoccupied with the song I was going to sing.
That night:
We all piled out of Lester's car after thanking him for the ride. The set up of Marty's was an old diner, so kinda like Denny's, but local. We went and sat at a table in the back.
"Guys, I have to use the restroom, if you'll excuse me," I said politely, getting up.
"I'll go, too," Dez said absently, I glared at him, "Or not,"
I went up to the DJ of the night and requested the song, told him my name and I went back to the table and sat down.
"That was quick," Ally commented.
"Guys pee fast," the table erupted with laughter.
"Everybody welcome Austin Moon to the stage please," The DJ called me up on stage.
I ran up to the stage and jumped up, looking out at the surprisingly large crowd that had showed up.
"Hey, this song is dedicated to my friend, she'll understand,"
Hey girl, you know, you drive me crazy Cover up with make up in the mirror Do you feel like a man, when you push her around? A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect I see the way you go and say you're right again Do you feel like a man, when you push her around? Face down in the dirt she said, ?This doesn't hurt? One day she will tell you that she has had enough Do you feel like a man, when you push her around? Do you feel like a man, when you push her around? Face down in the dirt she says, ?This doesn't hurt?
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's goin' down
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down
Say you're right again, heed my lecture
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
She said, ?I finally had enough?
Face down in the dirt she said, ?This doesn't hurt?
She said, ?I finally had enough?
It's coming round again
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
She says, ?I finally had enough?
"Thank you everybody," I walked off stage and back to my table, where I saw Ally wasn't there. What the hell had I done?
Sorry, but I had to fix this, I hate making my fans unhappy, so I have tried to fix it the best I can. And to all of you, yes, Cody Simpson is only fifteen; he was only born a month and a day before I was haha. And thank you again to Angel-of-Energy for the idea to use Face Down, it really does fit the storyline. Love you all,
