Austin's pov.
Juliet was driving me to who knows where to do who knows what and frankly I'm terrified.
Juliet was driving at a fast speed with the four of us clutching onto each other for safety.
It has been 2 hours and things started to look familiar...very familiar.
"Where are we going" Ally asked for the hundredth time. Juliet kept her mouth shut and kept driving. Dez eyes widened and he started to jump up and down. Juliet smiled to herself and nodded her head which made Dez even more happy.
Juliet throws something at my face. "Put this on" she says and she wasn't playing around. We all slowly put on a piece of fabric she gave us over our eyes.
I heard the car stop abruptly and my mask fell off.
Juliet got out of the car and opened the door for us.
I stepped out and looked around.
The Miami Mall.
We all stood there in shock not knowing what to say or do. Juliet smirked and walked into the Mall.
We followed behind her, searching the place up and down. Nothing has changed, there was still the fountain, Melody Diner, Suzy soups, and the beach club. Everything was the same it almost felt like we never left.
I stopped in my tracks and my heart started to ache.
Sonic Boom.
It was still open, people were coming in and out with instruments. And smiles on their faces. Then I saw someone I thought I would never see again.
"Nelson?!" I cried the boy turned around and I saw how different he looked, he grew up, he's probably 14 right now.
"Austin is that you?" I nod.
"Woah! You guys are back!" He jumped up and down and hugged all of us and my heart ached even more. I can't believe I didn't get to see him grow up.
He shows us to the front counter and Ally gets behind it and a smile grows on her face. "Welcome to Sonic Boom can I help you today?" She asks and hands us a free pick.
"Do you mind to show me where the drums are" I play along leaning over the counter like I always did.
"Depends do you have corn dogs?" We all cracked up except Ally who kept a straight face.
"Nope not today." I respond. "Then there right over there and don't you dare try to put a watermelon in the piano again!" She exclaims and me and Dez high five each other.
All the memories flooded back to me and my heart was about to explode. The instrument obstacles we created, the performances we did, the time when me and Ally kissed each other for the movie. Which made me feel her lips on mine all over again.
I remember the xylophone burgers we made and the time Trish and Dez watched a whole marathon of their favorite Mystery show. And who could forget when I was trying to get Ally to not like me so I spray painted my self orange and ate the hottest pepper in the world.
The kangaroo incident and the first real song I played here. The moment when I told Ally I liked her. Everything happened in this building. Especially the day I met the girl I fell in love with.
Which I don't anymore of course.
I remember how I looked at her as just a songwriter and look what happened. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into, but one thing was true I honestly couldn't to anything with out all of them.
Team Austin.
"This place hasn't changed at all" Trish states and I could see it was defiantly a good thing.
"Ready to see the practice room again" Juliet says and I almost faint.
"Yes!" we scream in unison.
It was like we left it.
And I think I may start crying their was even music sheets on the piano still and crumbled up ideas in the trash can.
Ally was the first to break, she sat on the piano and cried. Trish hugged her old time friend and let tears fall from her own eyes. Dez laid on the ground and sobbed his eyes out. And all I did was let my eyes water.
I picked up some CDs that were labels 'Billion Hits' and I felt myself humming the song.
For 30 minutes we looked around in silence reminiscing old memories.
Ally started to play the piano shyly and I couldn't help but stare. She looks adorable when she plays like that.
"Austin. Your drooling." Trish said. I gave her a glare and go back to watch Ally be Ally.
She stopped and looked at me confused "what is it?"
Why do I keep staring?!
"I just remembered how adorable you were when you were really focused on something." I smile at her and yes I know I'm flirting, but I can't help it.
Ally blushed and went back to playing.
Juliet was glancing at the window "how many times have you replaced this window anyways?"
"A lot" I replied, which made everyone smile and chuckle.
"You know when you guys were gone, this was my Safe Haven, I used to have flashbacks ever time I looked at something. And day dreamed you guys were still here. Nelson kept me company some days and Kira would the next. I would spend weeks here when I missed you all the most." Juliet said while avoiding our eyes.
"I didn't want to believe it was over, that you guys were really gone. Everything we've been through was taken place in this room. Days and days would go by and I would just play old videos in my mind. I would come here on Monday and then it would be Friday. I swear when I'm up hear everything felt right even though things were going wrong." Juliet continued. I felt guilty, Juliet was left here all alone and it didn't help that I just stopped talking to the group.
We all sat in silence and didn't know how to respond.
Ally played the piano again and I laughed. She breathed Music.
"I'm going to the pizzeria I'm guessing Dez and Trish want to come and argue which pizza we're going to have." Juliet breaks the ice.
The two glare at each other.
"Pepperoni" Dez prompted
"Mushroom."
The three leave arguing about pizza.
Which left me and Ally.
I gulped.
"Want to help me with something" she asks sweetly.
"Oh um...sure"
"I well um found this song and I want to finish it and we work so well together..." She trailed off.
I sat down next to her and held her hand. "Yeah, of course I'll help you finish it"
Juliet's words echoed in my brain and I realized what might happen.
It wouldn't be such a bad thing if it happened though.
"Ok the song is called 19 you an me" she sings the part that was already written and I remembered how well she could sing.
"Why don't the next verse be 'We had our first dance in the sand, it was one hell of a souvenir" I sang.
"Tangled up, so in love so let's just stay right here." Ally added.
We kept going. (Austin italics, Ally underlined, Bold for both.)
'Til the sun starts creepin', creepin' up
Right then I knew
Just what you were thinkin', thinkin' of
When I looked at you
Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of
19 you and me
...you and me
Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of
19 you and me
First week in myrtle beach where it all began..
Our hands touched on the last measure and we both met each other's eyes. My cheeks flushed as hers reddened.
"Ally" I whispered.
I could see her tense. "So...do you like the song?" She asked not breaking eye contact.
I felt myself go on red alert then things started to calm. I nodded and I could help but notice how pretty her eyes were.
I leaned in and it felt like déjà, but the good kind. Ally leaned in and right when I good feel her breath...
The door swung open.
"PIZZA!" Screamed Dez and Ally fell off the bench in surprise.
SO CLOSE!
Juliet realized what was happening when I was helping Ally up. "Ack! You both were going to kiss!"
"No we weren't!" We said at the same time.
Juliet looked at us in annoyance. "Fine. But it was only because of this place and the moment, it didn't mean anything" Ally piped up.
I felt a pain in my chest...it didn't mean anything.
Ally's pov.
It didn't mean anything right? Austin looked hurt. Uh oh.
I held his hand and squeezed it and he squeezed back. I really really like how our hands fit way too much. I shook off the feeling and turned to the group.
We took a slice of pizza, and sat down on the ground.
"Bet you I can eat more slices" I challenged them. "Your on" Juliet said, they all began eating pizza fast while I stacked my pizza on top of each other then took a big bite.
"CHEATER!" Cried Austin, "being smarter then you isn't cheating" everyone let out a bunch of oohs which got Austin flustered.
He flicked a piece of pepperoni to my face and I scrunched up my nose in annoyance.
"So Ally you never told us if you dated anyone in New York." Trish said slyly.
"Well...Gavin came and we talked awhile and went out on a couple of dates...so...yeah" I got nervous and looked at Austin who was trying to place a pepperoni on my head.
I quickly bit the pepperoni that he was holding up and swallowed.
"Wait wait wait! Gavin came to New York" Trish exclaimed. "Yeah, to visit me and stuff" I didn't feel comfortable.
Dez and Austin we're know trying to see if they could get away with balancing a pizza on my head. I poked them both in their ticklish spot and turned back to Trish.
"Anyways, it was awkward so we broke up...again" this time Dez was signaling Austin to do something and judging by the way he was making a kiddy face I knew what it was.
I felt warm lips on my cheek and then it became cold when he quickly pulled away.
"What did I say Austin Monica Moon?!" I scold, he smirks at me "um..you said I love Austin so much and he's so hot?"
I roll my eyes. "No! I said that...you know what? I will just have to get back at you." Austin gives me an 'oh really look'
"Yeah sure" he says. Well I think he's forgetting the affect I have on him, which I WILL use for my advantage.
"You know what we should do?" Juliet interrupted. "What?" Dez asked, "I say we visit our old friend Brooke."
"NOO!" Me and Austin yelled..wait why am I yelling?
"She crazy, weird, possessed, and there was that one time she tried taking me away from My Ally" Austin rambled. And the words 'My Ally' stuck in my brain. Of course I knew he was referring to when we dated.
"Awe come on please?" Juliet begged. Austin being the big brother he is gave in quickly.
We all followed Juliet to the fountain which we saw Brooke sitting at a table reading a magazine.
"Hey, Brooke" Austin says with caution. Her eyes widened and she throws her arms around him choking him "I knew you would come back for me!" I glare at her, ok I know it sounds like I'm jealous, but I'm not!
"Oh well I didn't, I came back for... Ally!" He said then he slung his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek.
Austin's taking the whole Kissing the cheek thing...way too far.
"Ok I get it, I'm adorable, my cheeks are soft, your going to leave a permanent mark on my cheek if you keep doing that!" I complained "that's my plan" he whispered which sent shivers down my spine. "Your such a flirt you know that?" I said quietly so Brooke wouldn't hear.
"Yeah, I know but you love it!" He yells. Oh god the Austin I knew was left back at Sonic boom.
Don't get me wrong I like this Austin, but the Austin I first met was the better version and I somehow have to make him realize that.
I think I knew what I had to do. I dragged him along with me and the gang followed. I didn't say a word and I didn't have to, they all followed with out any questions.
I arrived at the beach club, oh so many memories!
Ok let's do this!
Austin was busy checking out some girls and I saw Juliet glare at him. I know she's upset the Austin she knew and love was gone, but that was about to change.
I walked on stage and grabbed the mic.
"Hey, I'm Ally!" I call and the crowd starts cheering "Wow, can't believe you guys remember me. Maybe you remember Austin!" The crowd screamed and I smiled...this is going to work out perfectly.
"Anyways he's going to be answering some questions and singing, so her he is." Juliet pushed him in stage and I passed him the mic.
"Okay...I guess I'm answering question so..." People raise there hands and knowing Austin he was going to pick Nelson.
"What does Music mean to you" Nelson asks and I could see Austin go serious. Juliet looked a little sick and I held her hand trying to steady her. She shook me off and watched.
I tried to make him look me in the eye, I need to know if the Austin I know is there. He didn't meet my eyes.
"Oh well...Music is...a way..." I know where he's going with this, he used to do it on interviews. I threw a crumbled up napkin at him and he looked at me and gulped. Juliet nudged me and almost fell over, but caught herself. Now I KNOW something is wrong.
"Music is that one thing where you can express yourself...when I started I remember my own parents didn't think I could do it, but I just knew I HAD to do it. It was the only thing that made me happy, it made me feel special and myself." Austin changed his speech. I kept my eyes focused on him, but warmth was spreading over my body.
"It also can bring two people form opposite worlds together. No matter how different they are, music pushes them together in the weirdest ways. And sometimes you realize..." Austin was now looking at all of us.
And I realized why, Juliet was tearing up and it wasn't because of the speech. The night at the hospital replayed in my brain.
"Juliet are you ok?" She shakes her head no. "Austin finish it please" Juliet says confidently.
"And sometimes you realize it isn't music that's important, but the people who help you make it." He finished and jumped off the stage and ran straight to Juliet who was know clutching her stomach.
She doubled over in pain crying and Austin and I both looked at each other.
I called the ambulance since we didn't know what to do. I have never seen her like this and it scared me. One minute we were all emotional and the next it's terrifying.
I felt all of us look at her in fear "look at me, I'm going to be okay. But this is going to change things okay? Remember that." Juliet explained, we all hugged her as the ambulance came over and took her away. We rode in the ambulance in silence.
They put a breathing mask on her and I could see Austin was in tears. "Sing" she said faintly.
Juliet's pov.
Ok I'm over exaggerating the whole I need to go to the hospital. I saw the way Austin and Ally looked at each other and it made me feel all happy again...well until I felt this excruciating pain.
Why me?
I love them so much, but I need to tell them soon. I've been having problems that could effect if I stay on earth or not.
I've been getting weaker and weaker and I have no idea how long I'm going to keep this up. Because one day this will be my past ride to the hospital and that isn't a good thing.
I've been through this before so I wasn't like scared, but this time was different...
My dilemma is that I started to really really like Jacob and the gang just got back together. I can't die now...I just can't.
"Sing" I said dramatically, and it seems I'm a really good actress because the gang all looked at me with relief and fear.
I gave Austin a look 'sing the song you wrote'
And yet he didn't get the memo.
Flip a switch
Turn up the lightning
Get it right

You're gonna make (make) make (make)
Make 'em do a double take
He finished and I saw Ally stare at him. Dez clapped and yelled, while Trish smiled and laughed.
Well now I know.
I can't die just yet, because if what I saw was accurate then Team Austin is back and they'll need my help to show them the way.
And with that I guess God gave me one more shot, because all the pain...
Went away.
I promised they they wouldn't end up in the 10th chapter and they didn't. Now let's see if you guys can figure out Juliet's secret...well it's pretty obvious. So the first ten chapters was all about how they came together and since there still not well...together the next ten chapters is where the adventure starts.
comment if you liked it.
I don't own Austin and Ally.
byeeeeeeeee.
