Well guys, it looks like there will only be a couple more chapters in this story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally
Austin's POV
"So, what other things happen with your parents?" I ask Alice as I come to a stoplight.
She moves around in the seat a bit and hesitates. "I don't know if I should tell you or not. I mean, if you really are my dad, doesn't that mean that the past could change since you know all this?"
I never thought about that. What if the past... Their past does change? Would everything work out the same way? Will Ally and I ever have Alice? What about D.J. and Claire? Will Trish and Dez ever hit it off? What if Ally and I don't even get married? Like... I could dwell on it too much and force myself to act upon certain things that may not even play into our furture. "You're right..." I say with a sigh.
"Sorry, Ross. Even though my life is pretty crappy right now, I wouldn't trade it for anything." Alice smiles. Man, she smiles just like Ally.
I miss Ally. A lot. Yeah, I'm with her, but old her. The Ally that cheated on me. The Ally that has totally changed. I've got to get back to my Ally! My Ally. The Ally that hugs me with such sweetness. The Ally that I can talk to hours upon hours. The Ally that I write amazing music with. That Ally.
My eyes fly open with excitment as another idea pops in my head. Sure, all the other ideas that I had tanked... but this one is different. "Alice, I have a plan."
I see her roll her eyes. "Oh, great."
"No! This one is different."
She stares at me. I can feel it. It's like a thousand knives stabbing me in the back.
"Okay! So it's not that different. But, just make sure your dad is at Sonic Boom, and your mom is following us."
"Whatever." She grabs her phone and texts Austin and Ally. "He said he'll be there all day and she said alright."
"Perfect." I say with a smile. I keep thinking about mine and Ally's future, though. Like, I can't shake this excitement of knowing. I have to find out something. Even if it's just a little tiny piece, I'm cool with that. "Can you not just tell me something really small?"
"Fine. I will say that they have a very tear jerking way of saying 'I love you' to each other for the first time."
What is that supossed to mean? Is it sad? Like, is Ally in the hospital and I say it to her? Or is it like happy tears? I can't really ask to elaborate, so I just have to deal with it.
We're silent the rest of the car ride until we pull into the mall parking lot. Everything is going as planned so far. Ally, I'll see you soon.
We get out of the car and head for the door. Ally slowly trails behind us. "Ross, why are we here?" She asks.
"Just trust me." I grin.
Ally nods slightly.
I open the door to see Austin staring right into Ally's eyes. I look over and see vice versa. This time, it's going to work.
"Ally," Austin starts, walking around the counter. "I'm so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. Cassidy means absolutely nothing to me."
"Then why did you completely ignore me for her?" Ally looks down at her feet, speaking in a really shy voice.
Austin sighs. "I... I honestly don't know. Maybe it was the shock from not seeing her all thses years? I don't know. But, I do know that I love you."
Ally blushes.
I pull Alice aside.
"Ross! What are you doing?" She asks in a hushed tone.
"When I give you the signal, you and I go over to the piano and play the song."
"But-"
"-Just trust me." I start to walk back over when she pulls me back.
"What's the signal, doofus?"
Ouch. She's been hanging out with Trish too much. "Oh, right. Uhh... I'll just nod."
"Okay."
We walk back to Austin and Ally but get caught up in an awkward part of their "apologies".
"You what?!" Austin yells.
"I went back to Gavin's! Is that such a crime?"
"Uh, yeah! A huge one! Ally, he's the guy that ruined everything in the first place! Why the heck would you go to his place?!"
"Austin, I was upset and I needed to vent to someone a-"
"-So you go to GAVIN?! You couldn't have gone to Trish or Kira or Carrie?!"
"I just-"
Austin storms out the door. Alice and I look at each other and run after him.
"Dad! Dad, wait!"
"Austin!"
We finally catch up to him, but he tries to ignore us.
"Daddy!" Alice shrieks, tears coming down her face. "What are you doing?"
Austin and I stand there, probably feeling the exact same thing. C'mon, we're the same person.
"Alice, your mom-"
"-No! I'm tired of hearing both of you complain about and blame the other! You guys are acting like children! Little babies, even. I grew up believing in a love strong enough to conquer anything! Awkwardness, jealousy, even the most difficult decision you ever had to make. Remember that, dad? Remember when you gave up your entire career for mom?"
I what?
"I remember you telling me that even after all those years, you never regreted it. Do you regret it, now? Do you regret telling me all these love stories about you and mom that you only hear in fairytales? Do you regret scaring me? You probably don't even give a crap about her and she probably doesn't even give a crap about you. I guess it's for the better." She turns around, then back at us. "But I hope you know that mom really wants things to work out. I wants everything to go back to the way it was." Now, she starts walking back to Sonic Boom.
"I do, too!" Austin yelled, breaking the silence.
"You do?" Alice asks, coming back.
Austin nods, causing my... his daughter to run in his arms.
"If it makes you feel any better..." I speak up. "I punched Gavin."
Austin giggles and pats my back. "You're alright, Ross. You're alright."
As we walk back to Sonic Boom, I glance at Alice and nod. She nods back. Once we're in, Alice and I go straight to the piano.
This is great! I'm finally gonna be back with my Ally after this! Finally.
"Ross, Alice, what are you doing?" Ally asks.
I smirk. "You'll see." I then look at Alice. "Hit it!"
Every day day day
I fall for you a little more-ore-ore
And every night night night
I dream of you so beautiful-ul-ul
Everytime we laugh, I see the sparks fly
And everytime you blush, I feel those butterflies
And baby how we feel, will always be in style
Forever and ever
This love is never gonna fade
We are timeless
We are timeless
My heart will never ever change
We are timeless
We are timeleeeess
And we're gonna laaaaast
Our love will always feel this way
We are timeless
We are timeleeeess
By this time, Austin and Ally are dancing and laughing as hard as they can.
Our love will always feel this way
We are timelss
We are timeleeeeeess
As Alice finishes playing the last chord, I shut my eyes in prep for transporting back to 2013. But, something's wrong... I'm still here. "What happened?" I say out loud.
"What do you mean?" Alice asks, smiling like an idiot.
"I'm still h-"
"-I know what's wrong, darling."
So who the crap is this person who says they know what's wrong?
Do you think that Ross knowing things could have a ripple affect?
And why do YOU think Ross is still there?
