Hai! Back with anew chapter! Hope you like it!
I sat at the bottom steps of the stairs as my mom straightened fixed my tie. She wants me to look my sharpest for tonight, because
tonight's the big night. Yep, prom night. I hadn't even left the house and I knew tonight was going to be bad, I mean, sure I'm eager to
perform for the first time and all, but something important was missing from tonight, someone important... Ally.
"Honey, you look... Stunning! To think, my little boy's all grownup." my mom cheers happily, as she straightens my collar. She smiles
proudly as she brushes my hair to the side, like she did when I was
little. "Perfect."
"Thanks mom," I smile, putting my hand up to stop her before she
sprays my hair, making it as hard as plastic.
"I'm gonna be late picking up Elizabeth, so thanks mom." I thank her before heading out
the front door.
I close and lock up the door, and as soon as I turnaround to walk to my car, I nearly wet my pants.
"Austin Moon my boyfriend!" Elizabeth cheers happily, standing three feet away from me. She's wearing a sparkling blue dress, and her hair
is up in a neat bun. Wait, what the?
"Wait," I stop her.
"What are you doing here? I was suppose to pick you up at your place." I point out, she just smiles.
"Yes." she smiles, her European accent smooth. Oh that's right, my date speaks almost no English period. Right...
"Come on Elly," I call her by her nick name, forcing a smile,
trying to look at the bright side of things. At least I have a date.
"We're gonna be late."
I take Elly by the hand and lead her to my red Camaro, being a complete gentleman as I hold the door open for her. I close her door,
and get in threw my side. I see my mom smiling threw the window as we pull out of the driveway, so I wave good bye to her.
The drive felt awkward. It was completely silent as I drove, Elizabeth watched out the window. Trying to sooth the mood, I listen
to my Bruno Mars play list. While listening to Grenade, Locked Out of Heaven, It Will Rain, and Cont on me I silently sang along, making the
drive go faster. At the end of the Lazy Song, I turned off the radio as we pulled into the school parking lot, which is full of cars, and teens escorting their prom dates to the gymnasium.
"Well, we're hear." I say as I park the car in the nearest space. I hop out the car, and soon Elizabeth walks to my side, linking her arm
around mine. Well, this is gonna be a long night.
As we walk threw the empty hallways, only passing a few dressed upstudents, I start to wonder what my friends will be doing.
"Austin! Over here!" I hear Dez shout as we walk in, him in the
corner of the room, waving his hand in the air.
"Hey Dez-Woah!" I say shocked. Instead of being dressed in some oddly collored suit, overly padded like he was planning to get the
other day, he was wearing a nicely sharp black suit.
Must I say, he looked glamorous...
"Nice huh?" Dez smiles, still at a loss of words, I simply nod in agreement.
I feel a nudge to the shoulder, so I turn to my date. "Restroom."
she points, having to go as she slightly sways back and forth.
"Go ahead." I smile, letting her go. As she walks away, I turn towards Dez, who's trying to get two cups of punch. "Who's that for?"
I ask, pointing towards the cup of punch.
"My date." Dez smiles sheepishly, his cheeks turning red as I look
in the direction of his date...
"Trish? You took Trish, how? Why?" I ask both proudly and shocked.
He nods, "Yeah, well... I just asked her because I... kinda... like her." Dez says in almost a whisper, still smiling like
an idiot. Ah ha, I always kinda knew he had a thing for Trish.
"Wow man, I'm proud of you." I pat him on the shoulder, but my grin slowly fades away. He did exactly what I should have done with
Ally.
"She's over there.," Dez points to Ally, almost as if he was reading
my mind. It's an amazing thing how he can read me so easily, and
that's why he's my best friend.
"Oh, okay. Thanks Dez." I say, he just smiles back as he shoos me
off.
Nervously, I run my fingers threw my hair as I walk over to Ally, making my hair messy like it usually is. Well, here goes nothing.
"Hey Ally," I send a friendly wave as I approach her. My jaw nearly drops as I see her completely. Her hair was tied up, but to lose
stands of here brown hair hanged of of the side of her face.
She wore an amazing red dress, which fits her amazing figure perfectly. She looks so stunning...
"You look beautiful." I tell he truthfully, she blushes.
"You don't look half bad yourself." she smiles, her beautiful smile.
I bite my bottom lip as an attempt at hiding my blush.
From behind us, someone clears their throat. "Eh hmm. Hey Austin, Ally," Elliot smiles friendly.
"Trish wanted to see you, Ally" he
informs her, she smiles and waves goodbye to me as she makes her way towards Trish and Dez, leaving me alone with Elliot.
As I turn to walk away, I feel a hand land on my shoulder.
"Umm, Austin, can I talk to you for a moment." Elliot asks, standing a couple inches taller than me since he's crutches free.
"Okay..." I say a bit unsurely, as I take his hand off of my shoulder.
"Do you like Ally?""Elliot smiles, yet I can tell he's being serious.
I shake my head no. "Um, not like that, no!" I say nervously.
Elliot thinks for a second before nodding.
"Okay... So, can you please just leave her alone for me tonight, you can have your girl," he says, pointing towards Elizabeth who's wandering around. "And I'll keep mine."
What did he just say?
"Excuse me, but I'll hang out with Ally all night if I want to, and who says she's your girl?" I snap, getting a little too close to Elliot's face.
"I did, and no you're not. I'm the one who was brave enough to ask
her." Elliot barks, placing his hands on my chest and pushing me back.
"Don't get on my bad side, just because your Ally's friend doesn't
mean I'm afraid to kick your blonde-" He pushes me again.
I interrupt him though. "Wow, I'm so scared you pushed me." I mock him.
"Please, is that all you got." I taunt him as he raises a fist, but as soon as I say that, he freezes.
"Is everything okay?" Ally asks as she walk over to Elliot and I, sending us both warning glances.
"Everything's just dandy," I lie, patting Elliot roughly on the back.
"Just fine."
Ally turns towards Elliot. "Yep, just messing around with each other." Elliot lies, placing his hand back on my shoulder, jabbing his
thumb hard into my shoulder. I hold back a wince of pain as I bite my lip.
"Okay..., well then, they'll be ready for you to perform in thirty minutes. Do you have the song?" Ally asks, I nod as I reach into my jackets inner pocket, grabbing the letter, which sat behind my phone.
"Got it!" I cheer, ready to open it. Ally smiles proudly, but then
Elliot speaks.
"Would you like to dance?" Elliot asks, Ally gladly accepts. Darn it!
I find Elizabeth, and by being a nice prom date, I take her to the dance floor.
We dance close to Ally and Elliot, me keeping a close eye on the two until I see its fifteen minutes until show time. Just enough time to learn Ally's song. I explain to Elizabeth what I'm
doing, and leave her behind while I make my way back stage, with the
letter in my hand.
"Okay, let's check this out!" I say as I eagerly rip into the
letter, revealing a torn out page from Ally's diary:
Dear Diary,
Today was another bad day, I got picked on by Tilly again, she said
I was a loser, and everyone I cared about would leave me, like my mom,
and Austin. After thinking about Austin, I called him. But there was
one thing I just couldn't muster in myself to say, so I wrote this
song...
-20 Minutes Later-
"And now performing for his very first time, everyone, give a great round of applause for... Austin Moon!" the announcer introduces
me, so I suck up any worries and make my way on stage, guitar in hand.
"Hi everyone," a few people clap, some other kids "boo" me. But I don't care. "This song was written by a very special friend of mine,
Ally, I dedicate this song to you, because it's true." I reveal, as I
lightly start strumming my guitar.
"Last summer we met.
We started as friends.
I can't tell you how it all happened."
I sing, my eyes scanning the crowd, looking for Ally. I see her in
the back smiling at me, so I smile right back at her.
"The autumn - it came.
We were never the same.
Those nights everything felt like magic."
I continue singing my heart out, and people start slow dancing
together. My heart almost stops when I see Elliot ask Ally something,
she smiles and accepts. Both of them make their way to the dance floor, and I'm half tempted to stop.
"And I wonder if you miss me too.
If you don't, it's the one thing I wish that you knew."
I take a breath in, as Ally and Elliot begin to dance. I look into
Ally's eyes as I continue singing.
"I think about you every morning when I open my eyes.
I think about you every evening when I turn out the lights.
I think about you every moment, ever day of my life.
You're on my mind all the time. It's true."
As I look at Ally, Elliot turns her back towards me and sends me an
evil look over Ally's shoulder. I have to do this, for Ally.
"How long 'til we quit pretending.
What we have is never ending.
Oh, oh, oh.
If all we are just a moment,
Don't forget me because I won't and
I can't help myself.
I think about you. Ooh, ooh.
I think about you. Ooh."
I get ready to finish it, and that's when I notice Dez dancing with
Trish. He sends me a thumbs up, and I smile back.
"I think about you every morning when I open my eyes.
I think about you every evening when I turn out the lights.
I think about you every moment, every day of my life.
You're on my mind all the time. It's true."
Here it comes, now time for the ending.
"I think about you, you, you, you, you."
As I sing the last line, Dez kisses Trish. But then, Elliot dips
Ally, leaning in, and kisses her...
The crowd cheers loudly, but I didn't care. I spun on my heels, and
quickly made my way to the nearest exit.
"Austin, hold up!" I hear Dez running behind me, but I don't stop. "Austin!"
"What?!" I snap, yelling at my best friend. "What do you possibly want Dez?!" he seemed hurt, but I kept going on with my rant.
"I lost her, I lost Ally. That's the only reason I came here, was to tell her how I feel. But now, she's with Elliot, and not me!"
"Is it always about you, Austin? I just came to talk-"
"And where is that getting you?"
"God Austin, can't you see your problem!" he shouts, more serious than I've ever seen him. "You're stuck up, cocky! And just because you were too chicken to ask her out sooner, and lost your chance, doesn't mean you can blow up. Even if you were with Ally, what kind of relationship would you truly have? Huh? It would be full of Secrets, you being him!" Sparrow.
"Dez-"
"Don't 'Dez' me; you can be him all you want. But what you haven't
learned yet Austin is that it takes a lot more than a costume and
skills to be a hero. It takes trust, respect, and responsibility. So until you learn any of those traits, you can forget about me helping you out, and you can forget about me being your friend!" he snaps, leaving
me alone in the hallway.
"Oh God..." I scorn myself, finally realizing my mistakes. What
kind of person am I, to say what I said to Dez, and now, he's gone.
I walk to my car, and hop in. I didn't feel like driving, so I just stayed in the parking lot.
"Maybe some good old music can clear my mind.." I say, starting up
the radio, were it continues my Bruno Mars play list, the next song
being When I Was Your Man... Of course.
"Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks just a little when I hear your name"
The radio continued playing, I silently cried into the steering wheel.
"It all just sounds like, oooooh
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man"
Maybe if I did stuff differently, I wouldn't have been in this situation. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a brunette pass by, and enter the passenger door. Ally... No, just Elizabeth..
"My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
'Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life.
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ooh
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes"
I let out a sigh as I relate to the song, but then unexpectedly, Elizabeth leans over, cupping my cheeks as she kisses me...
"It all just sounds like, oooooh
Umm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man"
I push Elizabeth away, I'm just not that type of guy. Her sweet smile soon turns twisted, and sinister. That's when she jabbed the syringe in me. Drugging me...
"Although it hurts"
The needle made me nearly pass out, so I quickly pull it out of my
stomach. It hurt so bad...
"I'll be the first to say that
I was wrong, ohh"
I was wrong about everything, my attitude, my persona, but mostly Elizabeth...
"Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes"
I wanted to call for help, all my help was already gone, Ally, Dez...
"But I just want you to know"
Elizabeth puts a wet rag over my face, probably chloroform. As I slowly pass out, I just wish Dez, and Ally knew that, I'm sorry...
"I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Gives you all his hours
When he has the chance
Takes you to every party
'Cause I remember you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man..."
