Chapter Nine: Not A Love Song
Ally's P.O.V.
In the morning I got up and did my chores.
I got dressed in a yellow and blue sundress, yellow cardigan, and boots. I walk downstairs and see my dad drinking coffee. I make myself some cereal and sit down in front of my dad on the island.
"Good morning sweetheart." My dad said.
"Morning." I said in return. I continued to focus on my cereal.
"So how was last?" He asked. Sigh. I knew he was going to ask about that. I just shrug.
"I'm guessing that it did not end well?" He said. I nodded. He sighed. "That's too bad. I thought you and Austin were a cute couple." He said. My eyes widen and I jumped up.
"Dad!" I yell. He chuckles and puts his hands up in surrender. I huff and walk upstairs.
A&A A&A A&A A&A A&A A&A A&A A&A A&A A&A A&A A&A plo;
Thirty minutes later we were parked in the mall.
"Okay-dokey! Are we ready to see Sonic Boom?!" He said happily. He had already opened up the store, but this was my first time here.
I shrugged and gave him a small smile. I got out of the car and waited for my dad. Together we walked into the mall. The mall was quite big and had a cool cafeteria. I passed by a cell phone excessorie cart and the cute guy there winked at me. I blushed and continued walking behind my dad towards the shop.
When we entered the shop I looked around. The main floor was filled with a lot of various instruments. It was amazing. I felt at home. I wish I could spend all day in here, making music. But I'm going to work here, hopefully I'll get a chance though. On my break maybe.
My dad goes through everything I need to do. He was working here while I was in the hospital. I stand behind the counter and help people pay for their instruments.
Everything was going perfect until I saw a familiar tall redhead. With his blonde friend.
I ducked behind the counter. Luckily he didn't notice me. I don't know how long I was there, maybe three, four minutes. But it was long enough for my dad to notice.
"Uh, Ally. What are you doing behind the counter?" He asked. I wanted to shoosh him for saying my name out loud.
"Oh, I'm just. Uh, looking for some receipt paper." I said, grabbing a roll. NICE SAVE ALLY! I mentally cringe and stand up pretending to replace it. Why am I running away from him? He ran away from me! I stand taller and help the costumers.
I want to cringe, because I feel a pair of eyes on me. And I just know that Austin's the one looking at me. I continue to work for and hour until my lunch break. Austin still hasn't left. Why is he still here? Staring at me?
"Okay Ally. I want to show you something." Said my dad.
"Uh, okay." I replied and followed him up the stairs (being careful not to look at Austin) and to the small balcony/second floor. There were three doors that lead to rooms for inventory. The fourth room said "EMPLOYEES ONLY!" I was confused. Why is he taking me here? I've never been in the employee lounge but it can't be that cool.
He opened the door and I gasped. It was a very colorful room with: a yellow sofa, two blue chairs, and a red loveseat surrounding a large yellow coffee table. All of the furniture was bright and colorful and lively. There was a fridge and a long teal cabinet next to it. But all I was looking at was the brown piano. It was in the corner and had a matching piano bench. I ran over to it and sat down on the bench.
"Oh my gosh dad! Is this mine?" I gasped. He nodded. I ran up to him and attacked him with a hug. "Thank you! This move is finally starting to be a good thing." I whispered.
"You're welcome Ally. This is your private room. Now, I'll be at the cash register. If you need my help just come and get me." I replied with an okay. But I kept my eyes on the piano.
I sighed and got out my book. I always write when I'm having a tough time in life and want answers to my problems.
I take a melody I was working on a while ago and start with the lyrics.
I was going to get up and leave but I hear a cough behind me. I jump up, totally surprised and see Blonde Boy. Well Austin. He has a small smile on his face. I want to smile back but I'm too confused too say anything.
"W-what are you doing here?" I stutter. It was the best thing I could think of.
He smiled. "Watching you sing a pretty great song." He came over and sat down at the piano. "Play it for me?" He asked softly. I give a small smile I know he can't see and sit down next to him. I start playing the happy melody.
Austin's* eyes are a jungle,
He smiles, it's like the radio.
He whispers songs into my window,
In words that nobody knows.
There's pretty girls on every corner,
They watch as he's walking home.
Saying, "Does he know?"
Will you ever know?
You're beautiful, every little piece love.
And don't you know,
You're really gonna be someone. Ask anyone.
And when you find, everything you looked for,
I hope your life leads you back to my front door.
Oh, but if it don't.
Stay beautiful.
Austin* finds another way,
To be the highlight of my day.
I'm taking pictures in my mind,
So I can save them for a rainy day.
It's hard to make a conversation,
When he's taking my breath away.
I should say . . .
"Hey, by the way . . ."
You're beautiful, every little piece love.
And don't you know,
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone.
And when you find, everything you looked for.
I hope your life, leads you back to my front door.
Oh, but if it don't.
Stay beautiful.
If you and I are a story,
That never gets told.
If what you are, is a daydream
I'll never get to hold.
At least you'll know. . .
You're beautiful, every little piece love.
And don't you know,
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone.
And when you find, everything you look for,
I hope your life leads you back to my door.
Oh, but if it don't.
Stay beautiful.
Will you stay . . .
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
La, la, la. Oh, oh, woah.
Oh but if it don't.
Stay beautiful.
Stay beautiful.
(Quick Author's Note: It's a Taylor Swift Song and the name is originally Cory but I changed the name. :D)
I ended the last song and took a deep breath. I meant it to be a friendship song for Austin. I look over at him to see that he's smiling.
"That's a great song Ally. No one's ever written a song for me before. And they've never called me beautiful before." He said with a slight blush. I smiled at him.
"Thanks." I said. I laughed at his comment. I hadn't really meant to call him beautiful. The awkward silence continued before he cleared his throat.
"I, uh, wrote a song." He said.
"Uh oh! Austin wrote a song!" I said. He laughed and smiled. He pushed me and I almost stumbled off the bench but I laughed.
He started playing a tune on the piano and it was pretty good.
You're always on my mind,
I think about you all the time.
Umm . . . no.
(He got off of the piano bench and grabbed a guitar and pushed a play button on a boom box that I didn't notice he brought in and some background music that included drums, piano, and bass.)
Let's not talk about it,
Drama, we can live without it.
Catch a wave if we're bored,
There's a clock we'll ignore,
Find a way around it.
Hey, girl, I can tell there's something,
Even when you say it's nothing.
When you're playing with your hair,
Like you just don't care.
It's a tell, you're bluffing.
Now please don't take this the wrong way.
I love the things you do,
It's how you do the things you love.
But it's not a love song,
Not a love song.
I love the way you get me,
But correct me if I'm wrong.
This is not a love song,
Not a love song.
I love how you buy the tickets,
And you don't make me watch your chick flick.
We've come so far, being just the way we are.
If it's not broken, don't fix it.
I can't guess the meaning,
When you don't say what you're feeling.
If you have a broken heart,
You can punch me in the arm.
Now that's what you needed.
Don't take this the wrong way (nope).
I love the things you do,
It's how you do the things you love.
But it's not a love song,
Not a love song.
I love the way you get me,
But correct me if I'm wrong.
This is not a love song,
Not a love song.
I don't speak girl (like, hey girl!)
I don't quite understand a manicure.
But you're the only friend I'd take a shower for.
And I will hold your bags when you go shopping.
What a guy. What a guy.
I love the things you do,
It's how you do the things you love.
The way you say it,
Put me through it.
I guess I always knew it (I always knew)
I love the way you get me,
But correct me if I'm wrong.
This is not a love song,
Not a love song.
I love the things you do,
It's how you do the things you love,
But it's not a love song (definitely not a love song)
Not a love song.
I love the way you get me,
But correct me if I'm wrong.
This is not a love song (not a love song)
Not a love song.
This is not a love song (not a love song)
Not a love song.
This is not a love song (not a love song)
Not a love song.
I clapped when he finished and ran up to him. I gave him a huge hug. He chuckled and hugged me back.
"Austin! That was amazing! You can write songs!" I exclaimed.
He laughed. "Actually, I didn't write that song. Riker did. And that's the best song he's wrote, ever. I made him write it last night." He said. I laughed with him. I stepped back and looked at him.
"Austin, whatever happened last night, shouldn't have. We were both still so excited about the performance that we weren't thinking. I care about you. But we're just friends." I said. Saying it hurt. Because it was this morning that I realized that I had a tiny crush on my best friend and performer Austin Moon. But I would lie to save our friendship. It meant everything to me.
He nodded. "I agree. I didn't mean to make a move on you. It's just the way I am. But I shouldn't have. You're my best friend and songwriter and I would never try to ruin it. We're just friends. Our friendship is so important to me." He said. I smiled and hugged him again. But inside, something cracked. It kinda, okay a lot, hurt to hear him say that we were just friends. But hey, who would like me?
I pulled away walked to the piano again. I sat down and stifled a sigh. I was kinda bummed out by what he said.
He cannot know. I thought.
"Can't know what?" He asked. He had sit down next to me.
Did I really say that aloud?!
He laughed. "Yes you did." I face palmed myself. Me and my big mouth. I pretended to look for something in a drawer by the piano.
"Allllyy." He mocked in a singsong voice. I sighed. What was I going to say? "What can I cannot know?" He asked. Hehe, that sounded funny.
"Welllllllll. . ." I said, trying to buy time.
"Ally, just spill it." He said, seriously. I sighed and sat back down next to him.
"I didn't want you to know, that, I, uh, wrote a duet for us!" I exclaimed. That was close.
He brightened up. "Really? That's awesome!" He said. I giggled. He could really look like a cute little kid when he was happy. What? Did I just think that? Sigh, stupid hormones.
"Yeah!" I said.
"Let's hear it!" He said. I laughed a little but started playing a song. I was a least a little happy we weren't ignoring each other anymore.
(the bold is when they are both singing. Austin's lyrics are in italics and Ally's are underlined.)
Living in my own world, didn't understand. That anything can happen. When you can take a chance.
I never believed in, what I couldn't see. I never opened my heart.
Oh.
To all the possibilities. Oh.
I know.
That something has changed.
Never felt this way.
And right here tonight.
This could be the . . .
Start, of something new.
It feels so right.
To be here with you . . . oh. And now, looking in your eyes.
I feel in my heart.
The start of something new.
Ohh, yeah. Now who'd ever thought that . . .mmm . . .we'd both be here tonight. . . yeah.
And the world seems so much brighter.
Brighter, brighter.
With you by my side.
By my side.
I know, that something has changed. Never felt this way.
I know it for real.
This could be the . . .
Start of something new.
It feels so right.
To be here with you . . . oh. And now, looking in your eyes.
I feel in my heart.
The start of something new.
I never knew that it could happen till it happened to me. Ohh, yeah.
I didn't know it before.
But now it's easy to see.
Ohhh!
It's the start of something new.
It feels so right, to be here with you. . . oh.
And now, looking in your eyes,
I feel in my heart.
That it's the start of something new,
It feels so right.
So right . . . yeah.
To be here with you. . . ohh.
And now, looking in your eyes.
I feel in my heart.
Feel in my heart.
The start of something new.
The start of something new.
The start of something new.
We were both grinning from ear to ear by the time we stopped play the piano. It sounded great.
He gave me a hug. "Ally! That was amazing! You are amazing!" He said. I blushed.
"Thank you! I would write any song for you!" He hugged me tighter at this.
And when my dad came in and saw us writing songs he let me get off of work early. And that's where we stayed the rest of the day, writing songs and being ourselves.
Austin and Ally. The singer and songwriter.
A/N: How was it? I like their duet. :) The first song was Stay Beautiful by Taylor Swift, the second song is Not A Love Song by Austin Moon himself! But it's the full version! :D The last song is Start of Something New from High School Musical. :) Please review! I'll be back soon!
