Whatever It Takes Chapter 12: Stage 1, an austin & ally fanfic

So you guys now know about Austin's past. I wonder what song they're going to sing? Hmmm...

Stage one is next! Gosh I love songs...I really hope you guys listen to the songs that I use that you don't know. If you guys haven't listened to the piano songs that I put in the last chapter, you really should. They're beautiful!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN AUSTIN AND ALLY (sadly)

Ally's P.O.V

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2014 talent competition!" says the MC and the crowd goes wild, "This year's gonna be crazy! I'm sure you guys can't wait to see what are last year's champions Double Trouble are going to do this year. We all know it's going to be a tight competition because we have a lot of great talent tonight, for example; Fallback!" The crowd yells louder, "Well, let the battle begin! First up is Daniel Norman!"

"Wow, everybody's so talented!" I say excitedly

Austin chuckles, "well, we do go to Miami Arts Academy. Talent is expected."

I smack his arm, "don't get smart"

He flinches and smiles, "sorry, honey"

We stand backstage watching everybody perform. Wow. This is so going to be a tough competition, I wonder if we'll actually be able to win...What am I talking about! I gotta think positive.

"Next up is Dallas and Trent, aka...wait for it...Double Trouble!" says the MC. The crowd cheers and people lift posters up for them. I see Austin roll his eyes and I giggle.

"Wassup peoples!" Dallas says, "As you all know, we're Double Trouble and we got a fantastic song to sing for you guys!" The backtrack begins to play and I must admit, it scared the crap out of me.

I grab on to Austin in shock and he laughs, "scared?"

I glance at him then quickly let go and scoff, "no"

"Dead!" (My Chemical Romance)

Yeah!

And if your heart stops beating
I'll be here wondering
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life
And if you get to heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe
Did you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this

Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh take me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand? It ain't exactly what you planned.
And wouldn't it be great If we were dead?
Ohh dead.

Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish
You never fell in love
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life
And if you* get to heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe
Did you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this

Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh take me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand to take a pistol by the hand?
And wouldn't it be great if we were dead?

And in my honest observation
During this operation
Found a complication in your heart
So long, 'Cause now you've got (now you've got)
Maybe just two weeks to live
Is that the most the both of you can give?

One, two, one two three four!

LA LA LA LA LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!
Well come on,
LA LA LA LA LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!
Oh motherfucker,

If life ain't just a joke (LA LA LA LA LA!)
Then why are we laughing? (LA LA LA LA LA LA!)
If life ain't just a joke (LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!)
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain't just a joke (LA LA LA LA LA!)
Then why are we laughing? (LA LA LA LA LA LA!)
If life ain't just a joke (LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!)
Then why am I dead?
DEAD!

The crowd was silent...then nervous applause came one at a time. I look at the judges faces, they all looked as shocked and disturbed as Austin, Trish, the guys and I.

"Well..." Kevin says

"That was..." Danny continues

"Very disturbing" Dez finishes

"Yup" Trish agrees

"Why and how could they write something like that?" Austin asks

"I don't even know" I say

"Uh, thank you boys...that was very, um, different" the MC says and the boys bow and leave the stage, "Anyway, next up is Daniel Carter!"

A guy with dirty blond hair walks up on the stage with his guitar and a lot of high pitched screams are heard. Wow, isn't he Mr. popular.

"Yes!" Austin says excitedly

I raise a brow, "what?"

Dez laughs, "Austin loves this guy"

I turn to Austin, "you do?"

He smiles, "Yup. He's songs are amazing! You'll understand when you hear him"

I smile, "then I guess I should pay close attention then"

He must be something if Austin likes him that much.

"Hotel Ceiling" (Rixton)

I can see it coming round full circle my friend.
On the TV they said they had reported you dead.
It was my fault 'cause I could've sworn that you said.
It was easy to find another for your bed.

How does it feel to leave me this way,
When all that you have's been lost in a day?
Everyone knows, but not what to say.
I've been wonderin' now.

I've been staring at the hotel ceiling,
Drinking everything I've found this evening,
Trying to hold on to the sweetest feeling,
So I'll never let you go, don't you leave me lonely.
Start to see this, everyone I know cannot believe this.
I'm trying to hold on to the sweetest feeling,
So I'll never let you go, don't you leave me lonely now.

When my eyes open morning pulls me into the view, no
I guess I'm only acting in the way that you do.
Just being alone, no.
Only time tells me more than I hope, all that I know is
I'll be finding a fortnight alone and behold.
I know I shouldn't have let you go.

I can see it coming round full circle, my friend.
On the TV they said they had reported you dead.

Wow. I felt that...it was so beautiful.

"He's amazing..." I say

"Right? His songs are always so great" Austin says

"Austin has been trying to talk to the guy for almost a year now" Dez says

"Why can't you just talk to him?" Trish asks

"I can't just talk to him! The guy's a genius!" Austin says

"That's more of a reason to talk to him" Trish says

Austin sighs, "What would we even talk about?"

"Oh, I don't know...music! Obviously!" she says

"I still can't talk to him!" he says

I laugh, "so is he like, your man crush?"

Austin gasps playfully, "how did you know?"

I laugh and smack his arm, "shut up!"

He laughs, "What? You asked"

I roll my eyes, "anyway, I think we're up next"

He sighs, "yeah..."

"And next up, we have our school's front band, Fallback!" The crowd goes wild, "and joining them for this year's competition is newcomer, Ally Dawson!"

I take his hand in mine, "so, are you ready?"

He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, "yup, let's do this"

"Good luck guys!" Trish says and we walk onto the stage.

"Hey guys! We're Fallback!" Austin says, "and this is my wonderful girlfriend, who is joining us, Ally Dawson. The song we are going to sing today means a lot to me and I really hope you guys like it"

"Gone Too Soon" (Simple Plan)

Ally:
Hey there now
Where'd you go
You left me here so unexpected
You changed my life
I hope you know
cause now I'm lost
So unprotected

In a blink of an eye
I never got to say goodbye

Like a shooting star
Flyin' across the room
So fast so far
You were gone too soon
You're part of me
And I'll never be
The same here without you
You were gone too soon

Austin:
You were always there
and like shining light
on my darkest days
you were there to guide me

Oh I miss you now
I wish you could see
Just how much your memory
Will always mean to me

In a blink of an eye
I never got to say goodbye

Like a shooting star
Flyin' across the room
So fast so far
You were gone too soon
You're part of me
And I'll never be
The same here without you
You were gone too soon

Ally:
Shine on! Shine on!
To a better place

Austin:
Shine on! Shine on!
Will never be the same

Both:
Like a shooting star
Flyin' across the room
So fast so far
You were gone too soon
You're part of me
And I'll never be
The same here without you
You were gone too soon

Shine on! Shine on!
You were gone too soon
Shine on! Shine on!
You were gone too soon
Shine on! Shine on!
You were gone too soon

I glance at Austin when he didn't say 'thank you' to the crowd. He just smiles a bit, waves, and leaves the stage. I quickly follow him.

"Austin!" I call and he turns towards me, "you okay?"

He gives me a small smile, "yeah, I'm fine"

I pull him into a hug, "It's okay to cry"

He hugs me back and sobs, "thanks Als"

"No problem" I say
