Ally's POV
Its Christmas time in Miami. My life is..getting better. For a while, I felt so lost. I finally feel like I'm getting back on track. Now that I'm in Miami, away from the craziness of New York for a while, and actually speaking to my best friends, I feel much better.
But, I do still miss my roommate Cindy, and my boyfriend, Damon. They really are quite important to me, even though I left my friends for them. I can't wait to see them again when I head back to school.
I talked to Damon on the phone yesterday and I told him all about Miami. I told him of Sonic Boom, I even told him about how Lindsey was stealing my songs. He seemed upset about that, and told me I should have done something more, but I told him I didn't really care. He was still quite upset.
I don't know why.
Hm..
Anyway, Austin is coming over here at 10. I wrote a new song last night, as soon as I got off the phone with Damon. The song is all about the craziness of life bringing you down, so then you just need a second chance. It's pretty good, in my opinion.
I was replaying the song, when Austin walked into the room.
"Hey."
"Is that the song?"
"Uh, yeah. You want to hear all of it?"
"Yeah."
I played the whole song for him, and when it was over, I finally looked over at him. He was smiling.
"That was amazing."
"Really?"
"Of course Ally. All of your songs are amazing."
"Thanks."
I didn't know what to say. You see, I really want to start writing for Austin again. I've missed it so much. But, how do you ask someone if you can be partners again?
"Ally? Who is that song for?"
That surprised me, obviously it was for us. For him to sing. "You."
"Oh."
Oh? What does he mean, oh? But then he smiled. He was practically glowing, he looked so happy.
"Does this mean we're partners again?"
I had to look at his face twice to see if he was joking, but I finally realized he was serious. "Yes. Yes it does." And then, I too, was glowing.
**Two Days Later**
This has probably been the best break of my whole life. I've fixed everything with my friends here in Miami, and its Christmas in three days! Its incredible.
I've been spending every possible minute with my friends the past two days. Since Trish has gone through two different jobs, and Dez was repainting his fish bowl, (yeah, that's Dez for you), I've mainly just been with Austin.
Let me tell you, Austin is the most incredible person to hang out with. As he puts it, we're making up for lost time, so we've been busy.
We've gone swimming, we've eaten at every restaraunt in the food court, we've gone bowling, seen a movie, gotten ice cream, wrote a new song, recorded it, and now we're going back to Sonic Boom, just to chill.
I had forgotten how fun Austin is.
Which actually has been making this kind of difficult, because the more I'm around Austin, the more I'm forgetting about Damon. Sometimes, when Austin and I are walking, our hands accidently bump, and an electric shock shoots through me. I don't know what's going on, but its definitely weird.
And, Damon is my boyfriend!
Maybe I should stop hanging with Austin so much.
I can't believe I just said that. I can't do that. I don't want to do that. I love being around Austin. And, we definitely do need to make up for lost time.
So, we're at Sonic Boom now. I have to work for a while, so Austin goes back and forth from playing the piano on the sales floor, and just standing at the counter talking to me.
We talked about anything and everything. There was never a moment of our conversation where we didn't know what to say. No awkward silences. It was fun.
Austin was at the counter telling me a story of a guy he saw on the beach today, who was chased by a seagull when my phone started ringing. It was Damon.
I stopped laughing and said, "Hey."
"Ally, hey. So, who's the beach bum?"
"What?" Wait, what? What? Oh my god, is he here? I turned around, looking at the entrance to the store, and there was Damon, standing in the doorway.
"Damon!"
I vaguely heard Austin say, "Damon?", but I went and threw my arms around Damon's neck.
"What are you doing here?!"
"I came to see you. And, I really wanted to see what Sonic Boom was like since you told me all about it, its amazing."
"I can't believe you're here!"
He leaned down and kissed me. It was nice. I was so glad he was here. I couldn't believe it, but it made me happy.
And then I remembered Austin. He was slowly walking up to us. "Oh, right. Damon, this is Austin, Austin this is Damon."
They shook hands, but it looked unnatural, I don't know.
Austin asked, "How'd you get here? And, how long are you staying?"
He sounded possessive, but, I was just imagining that, right? Suddenly I felt really awkward, but the two guys looked at ease.
"Well, my parents decided to come to Florida for Winter Break. They're up about three hours North from here. They let me drive down here to see Ally, but I have to head back tomorrow."
"Where are you going to stay tonight?"
I was speechless. I'm glad Austin was asking the questions, whose answers I craved, because somehow I couldn't speak.
"I told my parents I'd just sleep in the car."
In the car?
"That's stupid. You can come to my house."
What? Did Austin just invite Damon to his house? What is going on?
Okay, Damon is my boyfriend. I live in Miami. Damon's family went on vacation to Florida. Damon drove to Miami to see me. He's sleeping at Austin's house tonight.
WHAT?
"Thanks man. So, babe, you gonna show me around?"
Babe? Since when does he call me babe?
"Oh, right. Yeah, of course."
And then I remembered Austin, again. I looked at him. "Austin, I guess we'll talk later?"
"Yeah, we could all go out for some pizza later. Damon? What do you say?"
"Sounds great man."
"Ally, I have to go to Lindsey's real quick. She texted me saying I left something there, so I'll see you later."
I was about to say okay, and Austin was starting to walk away when Damon suddenly said, "Actually, how about we all hang out. We could all go to Lindsey's real quick, and then go do something, like hit the beach or whatever you guys do around here."
Hmm...
I looked to Austin to answer. He looked puzzled. "Alright, that sounds fine. Ally, you should tell Trish and Dez."
I texted them, and told them the plan. They would meet us at the beach.
Damon, Austin, and I all started walking towards Lindsey's house. It was super weird, because each guy was walking on either side of me. It was kind of uncomfortable.
I'm glad Damon is here, but, I don't want to see Lindsey, and I really just want to hang out with Austin more.
Why did Damon even suggest that we all go to Lindsey's anyway? I thought he wanted me to show him around Sonic Boom.
I guess I'll find out soon enough.
Hahaha, for all of you who guessed Damon was coming to Miami, you were right! And, I promise that this was actually the plan all along, so your comments aren't what made me write it in. Heehee. =]
Let, me know what you think, pretty please. Thanks!
