I don't own Austin and Ally...I just watch it on tv and on my computer.
Summer of Love and Loss
Chapter Eleven: Successful Performances and Severe Stage Fright
Ally hadn't stopped thanking Erik and her mom for letting Trish stay in the guest room, it was the first tie she was truly happy with something her mother did. Trish was lying on the bed while Ally sat cross-legged on the hardwood floor. The curly hair Latina was going through all of the pictures Ally had taken since Erik gave her the camera and she had taken a lot. Everywhere Austin took her and everything they did as a group she captured with her camera.
"You should totally set one of these pictures as your profile picture for your Buddy Page." Trish said pointing to one of the many pictures of Austin and Ally. "Preferably this one where he's kissing your temple. On top of it being cute it sends a message."
"What message would that be?" Ally asked.
"That you've moved on maybe if Dallas sees it he'll finally accept that there is no way you'll ever get back together with him. I mean you won't let me humiliate him or hack him to pieces or get him fired or send him the demo of that song you wrote, the least you could do is make it clear that you're in a good place now." Trish said tapping away on Ally's myTAB. "Whether you like it or not it's now your profile picture."
"Wait how did you get into my account?" Ally asked.
"I know your password." Trish said like it was no big deal.
"I have to change that now." Ally sighed.
"Hey I'm Austin Moon and well we haven't agreed on a name for our band but that's Kelsey Creek on drums, Zack Olivera's over there on bass, and joining me on guitar is Troy Jensen." Austin said pointing to every member of his band before winking in Ally's direction. "The song we chose to perform for you tonight was written by my partner Ally Dawson. Please feel free to get up and dance while we perform, Dance Forever."
Baby, get up
Open your eyes now, the world's waking up
You realize we'll walk to the beat so suddenly
While we make believe that this will last forever
We won't sleep 'til 3 in the morning
This song speaks, and it's singing the real thing
It feels like we're living a dream
But tonight we're gonna make this one right
We'll set the stage and let the records play on a Saturday
And we can dance forever
We'll burn the light that makes the city sway
When we set the stage, we can dance forever
Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever
And we can dance forever
Ally looked around to see that everybody at the convention had gotten up and started to dance, Trish and her dad included. Trish pulled her out of her seat and even though she wasn't the best dancer she danced along to the upbeat song that she and Austin had worked on. Austin smiled at her as he watched her dance.
We're crazy enough to feel alive now
You've got the stuff when we arrive
We'll walk to the beat so suddenly
And then you tell me that we could stay together
We won't sleep 'til 3 in the morning
This song speaks, and it's singing the real thing
It feels like we're living a dream
But tonight we're gonna make this one right
We'll set the stage and let the records play on a Saturday
And we can dance forever
We'll burn the light that makes the city sway
When we set the stage, we can dance forever
Forever, forever, forever
And we can dance forever
Forever, forever, forever
Turn around, just move it
With your feet on the ground, you'll prove it
When you hear the sound, we'll both lose it
Then we'll make the rounds to dance forever
Ally didn't know how he did it with the guitar in his hands but Austin managed to spin around and take off the red plaid shirt he was wearing leaving him in the light grey V-neck. He tossed his shirt into the crowd obviously intending for Ally to catch it, which she did clumsily. Trish muttered something about how good Austin was on stage and Ally couldn't help but agree, while she was meant to be a background person Austin was definitely meant to be center stage.
And when the music stops and we can't wait
For another day, but we'll just dance forever
We'll hold on tight and think of Saturdays
If you say my name, then we can dance forever
We'll set the stage and let the records play on a Saturday
And we can dance forever
We'll burn the light that makes the city sway
When we set the stage, we can dance forever
Forever, forever, forever
We can dance forever
Forever, forever, forever
The crowd cheered as Austin and the rest of the band walked off of the stage. The next act walked onto the stage and the genre of music switched from pop to indie. Austin joined Ally, when she tried to give him back his shirt he merely said he'd get it from her later. Once all the different acts performed they were free to wander about the hotel's grand ballroom where they could learn about all of the different instruments that produced the sounds they heard on stage. Ally saw her dad's eye bulge at the sight of all the different kinds of instruments that had been gathered.
"He's like a kid at the candy store." Austin said as they watched Lester go from booth to booth.
"Yeah and they're like an old married couple." Ally said pointing to Trish and Dez who had not stopped arguing since the moment they met. "What are they arguing about now?"
"I'm not really sure." Austin said looking over in the direction of the two. They were both staring wide eyed at each other mouth agape. "I don't think they're arguing anymore, I think they may be broken."
"Trish?" Ally said waving her hand in front of her friend's face.
"Yo Dez!" Austin yelled shaking his friend. "Yup definitely broken."
"We have something in common?" Trish sputtered.
"I can't believe it either." Dez said.
"Hold your heads people the world is ending." Kelsey said rolling her eyes.
"I think your dad really likes me." Austin said as they pulled onto her street which was lined to no end with cars. "What's up with all the cars?"
"Looks like someone is having a party." Trish said pointing to the house where the music was coming from.
"Uh-oh." Ally muttered as she came to the same realization Austin had. "That's my house."
The moment Austin cut the engine Ally was out of the car and running to her door. Austin and the others followed only to stop at the door where Ally stood frozen. The house was packed with dancing teenagers and red cups littered the floor. The smell of alcohol was heavy and it was evident that not a single person in the room was completely sober. Scarlett was dancing with some guy in the center of the living room. She slid her arms down the guy's neck as she lowered herself until she was pressed intimately against the poor guy. She turned around, wrapped herself around his leg and bumped against him, Austin could tell that she was on a mission to get that guy to have drunken sex with her.
"Oh god." Ally squeaked.
"Your stepsister's a slut." Trish said bluntly.
"Someone should do something about this." Dez said.
"Ladies and gentlemen tonight's entertainment has arrived." Scarlett said when she noticed them at the door. "Singing an original song about the girl that stole her boyfriend please welcome my stepsister Ally Dawson."
Austin wrapped an arm around Ally to keep her from falling to the floor. All color had drained from her face and he was sure she was going to throw up. Scarlett staggered toward them her eyes ablaze with something Austin could only call evil.
"You sing the song or I blame this party on you." Scarlett said. With the way she reeked of alcohol Austin was surprised that she wasn't slurring her words.
"Mom and Erik won't believe you." Ally said weakly.
"I know how to manipulate people Allyson." Scarlett said looking at Austin. "No one can resist me, I eventually get what I want. Its your choice Ally, sing the song or get blamed for all of this mess including the disappearance of your mom's tiara and wedding jewelry."
"I-I c-c-can't." Ally said.
"Suit yourself." Scarlett said walking away. "Change of plans everybody Ally won't be singing tonight so please enjoy this recording of her doing so."
"Leave. I need to leave, now." Ally said to Austin.
Without hesitation Austin led her away from the house and back to where he had parked the jeep. He didn't know where he was going until he was pulling up into his driveway. Dez, Trish, and Kelsey settled down in front of his TV while Ally bolted to his bathroom. He held her hair while she emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet he was surprised she held on this long though he was grateful that she hadn't puked in the jeep. When she was done he helped her stand up and led her over to his bed where she collapsed onto it and curled up into a ball.
"You don't have to stay." She choked out.
"I want to make sure you're okay." He said brushing her hair out of her face and kissing her forehead. "There is no way she'll be able to pin that party on you."
"My mom choses her over me. She never wanted to be my mother but jumped at the chance to be Scarlett's mom." Ally said quietly as Austin lay down beside her.
"There are people that can confirm you were not at your house when the party started and if you don't go home then there is no way that your parents will believe Scarlett. She really didn't think things through." Austin said taking her in his arms and pressing his lips lightly against hers. "You have nothing to worry about."
"Thank you."
