Chapter Seven: Music Summer Camp
Austin and I are going to a music summer camp today for a whole month, we were both enrolled even before we met. I can't wait to finally be there, we're gonna spend whole July together without our parents in a place there is all about music.
I don't know if it's gonna be hard to keep up our relationship we'll have to sneak around all the time, but it might be exiting to break the rules for once. I never broke a single rule before I met Austin, but it's because I didn't have a reason to. We might have to hide and lie to keep up our relationship, but all of it has made me feel more alive than I was before he brought me back to life.
My dad and Mimi are driving us to camp; Austin and I are sitting in the back seat together. We're trying to get our parents used to see us close so that it won't be suspicious to them. I rest my head on Austin's shoulder and he rests his head on top of mine, just like the first camping trip only this time we pretend to sleep until we actually fall asleep.
"Austin, Ally! We're here." My dad says happily. We all get out of the car and Austin helps me with my bags.
"We made sure you two would get a cabin together so you can get to know each other better." Mimi smiles.
"You already seem pretty close and I must say that I'm so happy that you two are getting along, we're all starting to look like a family." My dad smiles. Oh, you have no idea how close we are, my mind snaps at me.
I hate lying to my dad, but I have to for the sake of my relationship. I'm sure my dad would kill me if he knew that I'm not only in a relationship with my stepbrother, but I also slept with him more than once.
My dad and Mimi got us our own cabin, when we get in there I realize that we're gonna have it all too ourselves because it's a two persons cabin. It's not gonna be so hard to hide when we have our own cabin alone and I love it.
"We're gonna go back home, just call if any of you need anything." Mimi says sweetly before hugging Austin and I. My dad hugs us too before he follows Mimi and we're left alone to unpack, the camp starts official tomorrow. Today is all about unpacking and look around; we only have to meet up for dinner at 6:30pm.
"This is lucky." I giggle.
"I know, I thought it would be hard for us to keep our relationship a secret here, but now I don't think it'll be a problem." He says happily before spinning me around and kissing me fervently.
"There is even a lock on the door." I giggle again thinking of those times we locked the door in my room or in his.
"That could come in handy." He smirks.
"Let change into swimsuits and check out the area." I suggest happily.
"I like that idea." He agrees. I change into my red bikini and put a blue summer dress on. Austin changed into blue shorts and a white shirt.
We quickly unpacked the rest of our stuff before we walk out of the cabin, Austin puts his arm around me as we walk and I hold him closer with my arm around his waist. This camp is huge there is a lot of cabins, three outdoor stages and a gigantic one inside, a beach, practice rooms.
Austin and I decide to relax at the beach for a while, I lie in his arms and enjoying the sun there is shining on us. I have never felt so free as I do at this camp with Austin and I already know that this month is gonna be the best month of my life.
"Want to go swim?" He whispers in my ear.
"Only if you follow." I smirk.
"Of course, I'll follow you anywhere." He kisses my temple before we get up.
I pull the dress over my head and I smirk at Austin as his eyeing my body up and down. He pulls his shirt off and the smirk on my face disappears, I try not to stare at him, but I fail miserably and he smirks at me. He takes my hand as we walk towards the water, I stop as soon as I feel the cold water on my feet and Austin turns around.
"Come on." He encourages.
"The water is cold, Austin." I pout.
"Please." He smiles.
"Nope." I giggle.
"Okay then." He says lifting me up in bridal style and I remember last time he did this, I know what he's planning.
"No Austin, please." I giggle.
"You already know what will happen." He teases and I hold tighter around his neck making sure that he falls with my under water.
"So did you." I laugh at him as he comes up from the water with wet hair.
"Smart move, Alls." He laughs too.
"Have I ever told you that you look beyond sexy with wet hair?" I flirt walking closer to him.
"Oh really? So do you." He smirks and looks around. "I don't see anyone else." He smirks at me before he kisses me and I lock my hands around his neck. The kiss is so full of love and passion that I get dizzy in a good way, I pull away slowly looking into his eyes.
"I could get used to this." I say joyfully.
"I am already used to it." He says kissing me again.
"Austin, we still have to be careful." I warn him giggling.
"I know." He agrees. "I have a great idea." He smirks.
"What?" I ask curiously and wonder if he will get us in trouble.
"We can go canoeing." He suggests happily.
"I always wanted to try that." I say excitedly.
We swim over to the canoes and climb in, Austin starts to paddle soon we are out on open ocean and it is breathtaking beautiful. The sun is shining brightly and we dry off quickly, we just sit in the canoe enjoying the warm day and clear blue water around us.
"This really feels like summer." I smile happily.
"I don't think I've ever felt this free." He agree.
"I needed this and I wouldn't want to share it with anyone, but you." I lean in to kiss him and I feel fireworks in my stomach as our lips touch.
Austin lies down in the canoe and I do the same, my head is resting on his shoulder and I'm sitting in between his legs with his arms around me. He gently kisses the top of my head and I just smile cuddling closer to him.
"I could really get used to this." He says lovely as he kisses me.
"Yeah, I wish everyday could be like this." I agree.
We lie in the canoe a few hours before we finally decide to head back and the rest of day is spend on exploring the camp. We spend a few hours working on a song before we have to meet up for dinner there is barely anyone here yet, they'll all come tomorrow.
We met a few other people and the founder of the camp during dinner; we walk back to our cabin just after dinner to enjoy the rest of the evening together. We're sitting at the keyboard I brought with me to camp working on our song 'You Can Come To Me'.
[Austin & Ally:]
If you want a friend, doesn't matter when
anything you need, that's what I'll be
you can come to me
I look into his eyes gaining eyes contact as I sing the last line remembering the first time we sang together where we also wrote this song, how natural and normal it felt to sing with him.
[Ally:]
you can come to me,
yeah
I feel the intense connection we have as we sing together, even though we're together now it's still as intense as before. It's like an invisible force there is pulling us towards each other until our lips are joined together in a passionately kiss.
I move onto his lap to straddle him and he immediately pulls me closer to him with his hands on my waist, I can already feel how excited he is against my tights. He caresses my body with his hands once again making me feel like my skin is on fire and I lift up my hands, he catches my cue and pulls my top from my body throwing it onto the floor before repeating the action on his shirt.
I run my fingers slowly down of his body before moving them back up and into his hair, I place butterfly kisses from his chest, to his neck and up to his jaw before I kiss his lips softly. I wrap my arms around his neck as he lifts me up as if it was nothing and I lock my legs around his waist.
He presses me up against the door as he locks it before he spins around and places me on the bed never breaking the kiss. He quickly undo the button on my pants before pulling them off along with my panties, I sit up and repeat the same action on his pants.
I lie down again pulling Austin with me, I love the feeling of his body pressed against mine. I discharge my bra and he starts to kiss my jaw, he continues down to my breast softly nibbling on it and I try to fight back a moan, but I fail miserably.
"Oh please." I beg not knowing how much more teasing I can take.
He kisses me fervently as he push inside me, I moan pulling him even closer he can never be too close. We move together our hips meeting at every thrust and I feel pleasure in my entire body everywhere he touches. It doesn't take long before we are both close and I kiss him intensely as we find our release together struggling to be quiet just in case someone could overhear.
The Next day.
We wake up early for the arrival of all the other campers, at 10am everyone arrived and we're all told to meet at the big outdoor stage for messages. Austin and I sit close waiting excited to hear what this camp will teach us about music.
The founder walks on stage. "Hello everyone, my name is Dave and I can't wait to officially start this camp full of music. This camp is gonna be all about finding your own voice and of course the final show where the winner or winners get offered a record deal with Starr records. This camp is about preparing for this huge show, you can team up with some of your new friends or sing solo the choice is yours." He announces cheerfully. Austin and I look at each other in agreement we're gonna do a duet for the final show and hopefully get a record deal.
The classes' starts right after Dave has delivered all of the messages and walked off stage, the summer goes by fast with Austin and me focusing on the show and having the time of our lives of course, we also got many new friends, but we spend the most of our time together consumed by our love.
The final show is coming closer fast almost as if the days was minutes, no one so far have figured out that Austin and I are in a secret relationship. We're getting way to good at lying and hiding, I wonder if it's a good or a bad thing, but I don't really care we need each other at whatever cost.
It's the last day at camp and also the final show. Austin and I is standing backstage watching all the other campers perform and they are good all of them, we're the last ones to perform, but I kinda like that. There are all kinds of groups out their some there focus on dancing, some their focus on their voices and some who focus on their instruments.
Finally, Dave calls Austin and me on stage; he takes his guitar before he holds my hand as we walk on stage together with the crowd going crazy. We decided to keep it simple with Austin playing acoustic guitar while we sing our duet.
"Hi everybody, I'm Austin." He smiles looking at me.
"I'm Ally and this song is called You Can Come To Me." I smiles back at him as he starts to play the accords and I start to sing letting all my fear disappear, I feel safe with Austin by my side.
[Ally:]
When you're on your own
Drowning alone
And you need a rope that can pull you in
Someone will throw it
I let all of my feelings for Austin out through the song and look over at Austin with a goofy smile on my face as he continues to sing where I left off.
[Austin:]
And when you're afraid
That you're gonna break
And you need a way to feel strong again
Someone will know it
He looks happily over at me before we start to sing together, I remember clear in my mind what this song always made me feel just like it still does.
[Austin & Ally:]
And even when it hurts the most
Try to have a little hope
That someone's gonna be there when you don't
When you don't
If you wanna cry, I'll be your shoulder
If you wanna laugh, I'll be your smile
If you wanna fly, I will be your sky
Anything you need that's what I'll be
You can come to me
[Ally:]
You struggle inside
Losing your mind
Fighting and trying to be yourself
When somebody lets you
We look into each other's eyes moving closer as we start to only sing for each other, feeling our deep connection drawing us closer and we keep the eyes contact without breaking it for the rest of the song.
[Austin:]
Out in the cold
But nowhere to go
Feeling like no one could understand
Then somebody gets you
[Austin & Ally:]
So take a breath and let it go
And try to have a little hope
'Cause someone's gonna be there when you don't
When you don't
If you wanna cry, I'll be your shoulder
If you wanna laugh, I'll be your smile
If you wanna fly, I will be your sky
Anything you need, that's what I'll be
You can come to me
[Ally:]
Like a chain that never breaks
Like a truth that never bends
Like a glue that takes a broken heart and puts it back again
It's the feeling that you get
It's the moment that you know
That no matter what the future holds
You'll never be alone
[Austin & Ally:]
If you wanna cry, I'll be your shoulder
If you wanna laugh, I'll be your smile
If you wanna fly, I will be your sky
Anything you need, that's what I'll be
If you wanna climb, I'll be your ladder
If you wanna run, I'll be your road
If you want a friend, doesn't matter when
Anything you need, that's what I'll be
You can come to me
I move even closer to him as I sing the last line completely forgetting the crowd there is looks at us and I know he feels it too.
[Ally:]
You can come to me,
Yeah
The crowd goes crazy cheering and that's why we snap out of our trance as we look around before we walk of stage with a big smile on our faces. Once we get off stage, we hug holding each other close, but still having in mind that we're somewhere public.
The judges takes around 15 minutes to decide before Dave is back on stage with Jimmy Starr ready to announce the winner.
"We're back with the judges' votes on who wins this year's competition and a record deal with Starr records… And the winners is… Austin and Ally." He cheers and we walk on stage hand-in-hand. "Congratulations." He smiles.
"Austin and Ally, congratulations. I want to offer you both a record deal you're both very talented; can you be in my office at 9am on Monday." He smiles giving us his card.
We both nod. "Thank you so much Mr. Starr." We both say happily.
The competition is over and the whole camp spend the last night around the bonfire enjoying the warm summer because tomorrow is the day we all return home after this amazing month. I sit on Austin's lap it's weird that no one has figured out that we're more than friends, but everyone seemed to just except that we're close friends.
Morning comes fast, Austin and I spend an amazing month of our lives on the music camp, I thought it would be hard for us to keep our relationship a secret on camp, but it was surprisingly easy and fun to sneak around after dark not that we really had to because we shared cabin alone.
I wish we didn't have to hide, but it is fun anyway and I wouldn't leave Austin, I will rather hide forever than leave him. It's really going to be weird going back to school after this long and fantastic summer vacation, I just wish we didn't have to because I love spending every moment with him.
My dad comes to get us alone and after a few hours sleeping close to each other in the car we are back home, my dad was quiet all the way home and that makes me nervous. What if he heard something, did someone figure us out? What we were not careful enough at camp? I am freaking out at this point; I can't lose what I have with Austin.
*Disclaimer I don't own Austin & Ally or anything else you might recognize. :) I only own this story.
