Now I know you all are waiting to see what happened to Ally...Well, here you go!

Chapter 8!-

Last time...

"Is this Austin Moon?" A deep voice said from the other side. It shocked all of us.

"Y-yes?" I replied, trying not to sound unsure.

"Good. Listen here rockstar, I need you to do something for me." He, or she replied. I scoffed.

"What makes you think that I'll cooperate?" I questioned. They let out a creepy and low chuckle.

"Oh, I'm very sure that you'd do anything once I tell you why."

"Yeah? And what would that be?" I shot back. Another laugh echoed through.

"First, walk into Ally's room."

"What's in Ally's room?" I looked over to her door.

"Man, you are just all question and no do, aren't you pretty boy?" They mocked. "Just do it."

I simply walked into her room and turned on the light. Trish and Dez followed me, with confusion in their faces.

"Okay, I'm in here, now what?" I waited for the next step.

"Open her nightstand drawer." Again, I followed the instruction that they gave me. "Take out that leather book of hers. Now, I know you'll love this part. Open to the last page she wrote on."

I handed the phone to Dez, so I was able to flip through the pages. I didn't read them of course, but one page caught my eye. It was my name with a heart underneath it. I sighed and continued to turn the pages until I reached the last one that she wrote on. And when I did. Something fell out and onto the ground. I gasped as I picked it up.

It was a necklace. A music note necklace and on the back it read, Austin & Ally.

"Ally..." I managed to speak. My heart started to race thinking of all the possible situations Ally could be in. "W-what did you do with her?!"

"Oh don't worry, lover boy. She's safe and sound." He said, quite deviously. "For now."

"I swear if you hurt a single hair on-" I gritted my teeth and practically shouting at who ever was on the other side of the line.

"Relax, boy. We won't touch your precious little Ally. All you've got to do is try to find her." He explained. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Alright." I agreed uneasily. "And how am I supposed to find her?"

"Well, that's up to you and if you do happen to find her, she's all yours, but that depends on whether you can find her on time." There was a pause then he continues, this time his voice had a darker tone. "If you don't. Let's just say you can kiss your little songwriter goodbye."

"Okay, but you swear on your life that if anything happens to Ally before I get to her or I will literally hunt you down to beat the shit out of you." I threatened.

"My my aren't we pushy today?" He chuckled. I rolled my eyes. "Okay, well, you have 24 hours to be at least close to finding her. Oh! And I can't make any promises about not hurting her. Better get to it, Moon." And after that, the line went dead. I collapsed on Ally's bed with my hand running through my hair.

"This is all my fault. If...If I hadn't been so caught up with all of this, none of this would be happening. All wouldn't have been..." I couldn't bring myself to finish my sentence.

"It's not like you would've known this was going to happen, Austin." Trish informed me. I sighed, frustration obvious in my tone.

"But still!" I cupped the necklace in my hands. "I need to find her."

"Okay, after we get some sl-" Dez started to say, but I cut him off.

"No, we need to start right now!" I exclaimed. Trish looked over at the clock.

"Austin, it's 3 in the morning. You really expect for us to get any help at this time?"

"I don't care. I don't want any help. I'm going to find Ally myself." I stormed out of Ally's room. Dez and Trish followed.

"Dude," Dez grabbed my arm, making me turn around. "Let's stop and think about this for a minute."

"We don't have a lot of time! You heard him, we only have 24 hours to find her!"

But he just ignored me. "We have to be smart about this. We don't want to waste time and effort and manage to come up short. Who knows what they'll do to her. And I know that you don't want anything to happen to Ally."

"Okay, Dez." I relaxed. "So what do we do? We can't just sit here. We don't even know where to begin looking."

"Okay, let's see. Let's try to ask everyone that has recently talked to Ally. Maybe that'll help up somehow." Trish suggested.

"Well, Isabelle said that the last time she saw Ally was going out for a walk on the beach. Wanna try there?" I asked. They both nodded.

"But can we get some sleep first. I'm no good to Ally if I'm tired." Trish rubbed her eyes and headed back into her room. I chuckled at her as did Dez. He also walked back into his own room. Me for one thing, I just sat on the couch. Wondering and hoping that Ally's alright.

Okay, Austin. You've got 24 hours to find her. I thought to myself before finally falling a sleep.

In a few hours...

"I see you finally got some sleep." Trish's voice echoed through my head as I woke up to see her looking down at me. I sat up and stretched my arms.

"Yeah," I sighed. "What time is it?"

"It's like 10:30." She checked the clock. I sprang up and ran into my room. Within 10 minutes, I had washed my face, brushed my hair and teeth, and changed my clothes.

"C'mon guys! We need to go down to the beach!" I commanded.

"Why?" Dez asked.

"Because, Isabelle was one of the last people to talk to her, other than me." I told them. They followed me out of the penthouse and down to the lobby.

"Where to, Mr. Moon?" Harrison glanced at us through the rearview mirror.

"The beach please, Harrison, and fast." I answered. Harrison nodded as his foot pressed onto the pedal. In less than 2 minutes flat, we arrived in Malibu. We jumped out of the car, while thanking Harrison in the process.

"Isabelle!" I yelled when we got to the Grill. She came out of the kitchen a second later. She looked around to see who had called her name. Her eyes fell onto us.

"Hey guys! What's up?" She smiled at us.

"Have you seen Ally?!" Trish hoped. Her smile disappeared slowly and shook her head. I gave a sigh of frustration and sat down at the nearest table.

"Why? What happened? Is everything alright?" Isabelle took off her work uniform and walked over to us.

"Ally's missing." Dez informed her. She gasped and I ran a hand through my hair.

"And it's all my fault." I mumbled. Isabelle smiled down at me sympothetically.

"No it's not Austin. We can't assume that right away." She assured me. "Okay, what do we know so far?"

"Well, Austin got a call this morning," Dez began to explain and continued on with what happened earlier this morning."And the guy said that if Austin doesn't find her in time, well..."

"Oh." Isabelle replied quietly. "Here, how about you guys keep searching, while Ryan and I search the beach for some, if any, clues, about this?"

"That'd be great, Isabelle. Thank you." I thanked her.

"Of course, Ally is like a sister to me now. I care about her as much as you do. Well, maybe not as much in your case, Austin." She added. I blushed and nodded. We left the restaurant as Isabelle went to call Ryan.

After nearly another 2 hours of searching, we decided, well, Dez and Trish decided, for me it was more of against my will, to go back to the penthouse for some sort of clues that might have been on the necklace or the book.

While Trish and Dez searched Ally's room, I checked the music room. My hand brushed lightly on the keys of the piano as I walked around it. Suddenly, I heard a crinkling sound. I looked down and there was a piece of paper laying on the floor. I picked it up and I had realized it was the song that written when we were supposed to stay up all night togther and write a song. When I practically broke my promise and ditched her.

I read over the lyrics carefully and by the time I got to the second verse, I knew it was about me...and her. And how she felt. I lifted the guitar and rested it on my thigh as I strummed the notes that she wrote down.

Dez and Trish must have heard me playing because they entered the room.

"Hey, is that a new song?" Dez questioned. I nodded, but remained silent.

"It's by Ally," Trish added. "This is really good." She commented after she fully read it.

"Of course it is," I smirked. "Ally wrote it." I smiled while thinking of Ally writing in her little leather bound book, and occasionally groan with frustration. I also thought of her yelling at me to stop fooling around because since she was the songwriter, she could easily change one little line and make a complete fool out of myself.

"How does it go?" Dez asked. I looked at them and then back at the Fender(1) guitar.

"Like this," I played the introduction with great precision.

"The end of the night,

We should say goodbye.

But we carry on,

while everyone's gone.

Never felt like this before,

are we friends or are we more?

As I'm walking towards the door,

I'm not sure.

But baby you say you want me to stay,

I'll Change My Mind.

'Cause I don't wanna know I'm walking away

if you'll be mine.

Won't go.

Won't go.

So baby if you say you want me to stay,

Stay for the night.

I'll Change My Mind.

Lean in when you laugh,

we take photographs,

there's no music on,

but we dance along.

Never felt like this before,

are we friends or are we more?

As I'm walking towards the door,

I'm not sure.

but baby if you say you want me to stay,

I'll Change My Mind.

'Cause I don't want to know I'm walking away

If you'll be mine.

Won't go

Won't go

So baby if you say you want me to stay,

stay for the night,

I'll Change My Mind."

I played a little a bridge before singing the next part. Trish and Dez smiled at each other, but kept listening.

"I'll Change My Mind.

Baby if you say you want me to stay,

I'll Change My Mind.

'Cause I don't wanna know I'm walking away.

If you'll be mine.

Won't go

Won't go

So baby if you say you want me to stay

stay for the night,

I'll Change My Mind." (2)

I finished the last note and set the guitar back on the stand. "This is how she felt. I can't believe that I impacted her so much for her to write this. How could've I been so ignorant?"

"It's not like you could help it Austin, fame does change a lot of people. And it can cause you to break promises that you never intended to break, whether you wanted to or not." Trish admitted. I sighed, for like the 20th time today.

"I know, I know." I confessed. "And that's what makes it worse. I promised Ally that no matter what happened, nothing would change. And now that I've realized what I've done, I won't be able to tell her how I've felt this whole time. I don't even know where she is, let alone, if I find her in time. God, I don't know what I'd do without Ally."

We weren't prepared for what happened next. My phone rang.

The end! haha JK, keep reading. (;

I picked it out of my pocket and read the caller I.D. Ashley.

"Why is that bitch calling you? Are you still together?!" Trish screeched in my ear. I winced as I shook my head. I rubbed my ear a little bit because it was still ringing from her high pitched voice. Man, am I the only one that changed?

Yup, pretty much. A voice echoed through my head.

Shut up. I didn't want an answer. I mentally hissed at the voice.

"No! I dumped her. Let me see what she wants." I tapped answer to Trish's disapproval, it was a video chat. "What do you want, Ashley?"

"Austy, why the attitude?" She pouted. I rolled my eyes. "Just wanted to see how everything was going? I heard about Ally, I'm sorry."

"She's not dead, you moron." Trish snapped from behind me. Then she leaned in closer to the screen. "Wait, how did you know about Ally?"

Ashley shifted a little and got all nervous. "I, uh, ran into Isabelle and Ryan 5 minutes ago at... Venice beach. They told me."

"Where are you?" Dez asked her, obviously looking at her back round. "You don't look like you're at the beach.

"Oh, that's because, I'm, you know, just taking a jog by the Hollywood sign." She answered casually. "A girl need to exercise to stay fit and healthy." Dez nodded.

"Ashley! Will you come help me?" A voice appeared from a distance. That voice...sounded awfully familiar. Ashley's hand moved a little and a guy's head showed in the corner. He was poking his head out from a little shack. "She won't shut up! She keeps gnagging on and on about how Aus-" He whined, but Ashley barked out at him.

"Shut up, Bradley!" Ashley snapped. Scared, he disappeared behind the door. Then she whipped her head back to the screen. "Well, gots to go, babe, tootles!" She blew a little kiss and then the screen went black.

"That was weird." Trish said. Dez and I nodded in agreement. Just then, there was a knock on the front door. Dez jogged out and answered it.

"Oh hey guys, any luck?" We heard his voice from the room.

"Nope," I recognized the voice, it was Ryan.

"Nothing." This time, it was Isabelle's voice. The three walked into the Music Room.

"Nothing?" I asked. Isabelle and Ryan sadly moved their heads side to side. "Ugh!" I groaned.

"We checked up and down Malibu nearly three times, and Venice a couple of more times. We even asked some locals and they said they haven't seen Ally." Ryan informed us. Trish held up a hand.

"Wait, did you guys happen to ask Ashley?" She asked, curiously. I looked up at her. She could be up to something.

"I don't think so," Isabelle recalled. "We never even saw her at either beach. Why?"

Suddenly the three of us looked at each other, with the same expression. "There's no way."

"What? What happened?" Ryan questioned, clearly confused on the situation.

"Ashley talked to Austin right before you guys came by via video chat," Dez said. I raised my eyebrow.

"'Via video chat?'" Trish must've caught that to. She refrained her laughter.

"Anyways!" Dez ignored her comment. "She told us that she talked to you guys and that you told her about what happened to Ally."

"Which we didn't." Isabelle added. Dez nodded.

"And then Trish asked her where she was, and she said she was taking a jog by the Hollywood sign." Dez continued.

"But that's the thing, the Hollywood sign is almost a 45 minute drive from the Venice, considering traffic, and Ashley said that she spoke to you guys only 5 minutes before. So there's no way that she had gotten there that fast." Trish added.

"And you," I pointed to Ryan and Isabelle, who were intensely listening to us. "just said that you never even saw Ashley."

"No..." They said in unison. "Which means..."

Trish nodded, horror in her face and fear in her eyes. "Ashley has Ally."

BOOM! I hope this was good enough. I felt like once I got into the detail, it really came along.

(1) I don't own Fender. But I really want a Fender guitar!

(2) Change My Mind by One Direction. It's off of their new album, Take Me Home, which I am in love with! I don't own it, sadly.

Please Please Please Please! Review! Review! Review!

If I get a decent amount, I might upload the next one possibly tomorrow.

Oh! And the one shot I planned to write, turned out to be a little short multi-chap. But I'm not uploading it until December because it's my Christmas special(;

Again, THANK YOU to my readers! Love you all so much!
