Hey guys! Chapter 10! Woooo! So sorry I didn't post yesterday-lot's of stuff happened. I was supposed to have a sleepover but that got cancelled 'cause she's sick so I'm having another one with a different girl (my best friend) tonight….Anyway, last night I got caught up in re-watching 'The End Of Time' (which I don't own) because it came on last night. For all those who don't know what that is-it's a Doctor Who (don't own it) episode-and a very dramatic one at that. Besides that, I have no excuse for not writing the chapter yesterday. Sooooo sorry. On another note, I only got two reviews last chapter and I know you can do better than that. Plus, those reviewers are people I'm friends with who I PM a lot so...yeah. I dare each and everyone of you to leave a review to this chapter. whether you hate it and you want to tell me that or you absolutely love it. It doesn't matter if you have any constructive criticism or not just tell me what you think! So yeah, I dare every single one of you to leave a review for this chapter-let's see how many of you actually do! Oh! And I'm still looking for ideas! Nobody is actually giving me any! Help!

Ally's P.O.V.
I open my eyes to navy blue fabric. Not only is it navy blue fabric, it's a shirt. A shirt that is not my own. A shirt that is currently on the torso of another human being. I slowly move my eyes up until I can see the face of this human being. Austin Moon. His eyes are shut, his breathing is even, his face is relaxed. He's still asleep. I try to see where we are but Austin's arms are too tight around me. I'm stuck here. I tried again. This time I got out of his embrace. I was almost out of his arm's length before he grabbed my waist and pulled me close to his chest once again. Only this time I was facing out. I felt him nuzzle his nose into my hair. I smiled. I may aswell get comfortable if I'm gonna be here awhile. I know Austin. He sleeps in later than me. I turn around so I'm back the way I was in the first place. I rest my hands and head on Austin's chest. I doze off but not exactly fall asleep. This goes on for and hour. After an hour I wake up slightly and look up at Austin. Austin's eyes are trained on me.
"Hey, sleepy head." I say to Austin.
"Hey." Austin replied to me. His voice is all husky and scratchy like it is when most guys first wake up. Suddenly, everything that happened yesterday came back to me. My eyes began to water.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Austin asked me, concern clouding his eyes. "Is this about what happened yesterday?" I solemnly nodded my head. "I'm sorry about what happened."
"It's not your fault" I say back.
"I know, but...I don't know. I wish this didn't happen."
"That she didn't die last night?" Austin nodded. "She wouldn't died of old age in a few months, anyway. At least that's what they said. She decided that she would rather die last night than die in a few months. In which, one of those months she would have to stay in that hospital. I would've chosen the same thing she did. I just wish she didn't have to leave us this soon. I dreamed of her going wedding dress shopping with me, someday. I guess she wouldn't have made it to that day, anyway."
"How about we throw her a funeral?" Austin suggested. I nodded, tears flowing down my cheeks at the thought of a funeral. I hate funerals. I hate that I now have to plan a funeral for a dearly loved one.
Austin's P.O.V.
A week ago Marie died. Today is the funeral. Both Ally and I are supposed to perform. We both wrote a song. I wrote it all on my own and didn't even check it over with Ally. I did show it to my parents through Skype and Dez to see if it was, in fact, good. They said it was great! We all arrived there in black clothing. Dez and I are in black suits. Dez had to borrow one of my suits. He doesn't own black clothes. Trish and Ally are both in black dresses with black gloves. Trish is wearing a black sun hat. Ally is wearing a small black fishnet veil attached to a headband with a big black rose on it. Ally's wearing black heels. Trish is wearing black flats. We sat down. Ally went up to the coffin to say her last words to Marie. To look at her for the last time. Multiple people went up to give speeches before it was Ally's turn.
"Marie has been a life-long friend of mine. That's all we really were. Friends. Technically, that is. Emotionally, she was like my grandma. Not that grandma that you only see once a year. That grandma your best friends with. That grandma that lives down the street. That grandma that bakes you cookies. When I moved to Miami, I lost it. I did not want to go. I didn't want to leave Marie behind. I suggested she could come with me. She said she didn't want to be like all the other elderly people and live in Florida. She wanted to stay in Maine. She's a Mainer. And will always be a Mainer-as will I. Or as she says-Mainah! You know, because cliche Mainers and the ones that live up north don't pronounce the R's! Alright, back to the eulogy. Marie will always stay in our hearts. Helping people find the right Christmas tree in heaven. Baking cookies for everybody." Ally started to tear up. "I remember one day when I was 8 years old. She was playing dress-up with me. Well, I was dressing up, she was picking out things from this old trunk she had. Inside that trunk was full of vintage clothes from when she was 8. There was all kinds of cool stuff. Marie died at the age of 90. That stuff is from 82 years ago. 1932. Skirts and dresses. It was so much fun. That was 10 years ago. I'm 18 now. I never thought on that day that in 10 years, her time would be up. I always thought she would live forever. She would help me plan my wedding. I was wrong. I knew I was wrong before she died but I never wanted to believe it. Now, I have to believe it. I'm just glad I'm here. I'm now supposed to give a performance. This is a song I wrote called Safe & Sound." Ally announced. Ally walked over to a little stage they built adn stood next to the microphone.
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when music's gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh.
Ally was tearing up again my the end of the performance. It was a beautiful song. It sounded like a lullaby. Now, it's my turn.
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
The sun will rise
To better days
And change will come
It's on it's way
Just close your eyes
And let it rain
'Cause you're never alone
And I will always be there
You just carry on
You will understand
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
Just look inside
You know the way
Let it go
Fly away
And say goodbye
To yesterday
'Cause you're never alone
And I will always be there
You just carry on
You will understand
And I will be strong
When love is gone
And I'll carry on...
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
The sun will rise
To better days
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
Just close your eyes
And let it rain
When you need it the most
And all you've got is a prayer
You must carry on
You will understand
You will understand
You will understand
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
You'll be okay.
"Thank you, that song was dedicated to my partner, best friend, and girlfriend, Ally Dawson." I said as I got off the stage. Ally started to tear up again. I walk over to her and give her a big hug. I opened my arms to Trish and Dez, to. A big group was just what we all needed right now. Ally's full out sobbing now and Dez being a sympathetic cryer started to cry, to. So, on the ride home we had two sobbing people.
During the week before the funeral Ally had a couple days of sobbing. Only coming out of her room for bathroom needs, food, and play rehearsal. Ally didn't want to lose her part as Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz. At day 4 she finally came out of her room to hang out and such. By day 6 she was back to her old self. The day of the funeral was day 7. Today brought back everything from the first 3 days. Except this time she didn't lock herself in her room. She only sobbed for the car ride. I had Trish drive with Dez in the passenger seat so I could comfort her and cuddle with her.
Ally's P.O.V.
Austin sat in the back of the car with me as I poured my heart out into tears. He held me in his arms and rubbed my back, soothingly. He whispered little "I love you"s and "It'll be alright"s and stuff like that in my ear. God, I love this boy so much. This probably seems really cliche and cheesy but that's what we are. Cliche. I mean, come one, two best friends fall in love.
Hey everyone! Sorry it's short. I went out on an unexpected lunch with my family and we were gone for, like, 3 hours. Yeah, this is really short. I don't own Safe And Sound by Taylor Swift or You'll Be Okay by A Great Big World. I wanted to give you guys something, at least. My friend is coming in 40 minutes so I had to get this out before she gets here. So, I dare you all to review and am begging you to give me ideas. I mean, I have some, but I want options and i know you guys probably have some WAY better ideas so...Pwease? Oh! And shout out to heyitskaitlyn (I think that's your username, it's something like that…) She has great stories (seriously awesome)
