Pop Star Runaway Chapter 14: Pop Star Carnival, an austin & ally fanfic

Austin's POV

I make out ferociously with Amy in my bed and she wraps her arms around my neck while breathing me in. Our mouths move passionately against the others and it's hard not to get turned on right now but we are still in the new part of our relationship. 2 weeks and counting and I don't want to scare her off or feel like I'm rushing anything.

We pull away for a breather and she starts giggling which makes me smile. "What?" She just shakes her head giggling more. "Well, now you have to tell me." I say as she just calms down from the laughter and just smiles at me. "I'm just...happy." She answered which made me smile widely. "I can't remember the last time I felt this kind of bliss and peacefulness." She added sitting up as I did with her.

"I guess it's my charm huh?" I asked as she leaned in and pecked my lips softly.

"I guess it is." She shrugged casually as I tackled her to the bed again causing her to laugh.

"Austin, what are you doing?" She smiled up to me.

"I'm gonna suffocate you with a million kisses." I told her as she giggled why I kissed her all over her face.

Suddenly, we fall off the bed causing us both to laugh but I got distracted when I realize we accidentally turned the TV on. I go to turn it off but I notice Ally Dawson on the screen being interviewed. I hurriedly get one of my books out of my book bag as Amy watches me.

"What are you doing?" She asked as I turn to her. "Remember the Ally Dawson assignment? This interview could really help me." I told her as she looked a bit nervous which confused me. "What's wrong?" I asked as she shook her head coming over to me and kissing me.

"Ba-ba-babe!" I say laughing pulling her away. "I would love to just kiss you for the rest of my life but I really need to listen and write this down. You should too. I don't want you to fail." I told her as she just sighed before sitting down against my bed.

"Trust me, I know enough about her." She said as which puzzled me even more than before.

Amy phone rings and she answers it while I listen to Ally Dawson on the TV. "Did you grow up in a family with music interest? Did that ever influence your goals in life?" The interview asked her. "No, I didn't actually. My mother wasn't involved in music ever in life, neither was my dad from what she told me. She says I was just blessed wit the ability and I'm just happy I can share it with the world." She said with a smile as the interview nodded.

I smile at her answer but she seems not into this whole thing. "I'm sorry for the passing of your dad. Isn't today the 16th anniversary of his death? I saw a post on your Instagram." The woman asked and even I thought that was way inappropriate. It doesn't matter if she put it on social media.

That's not something you just ask randomly on live TV putting someone on the spot with such a sensitive topic. "Um..." She started and I could tell she felt highly uncomfortable. "Yeah, it is." She says putting a strand of hair behind her ear. Wow. She really is a beautiful girl.

I know I have a girlfriend and all and the only reason I'm okay with saying that because she's a celebrity and it's not like I'm ever gonna meet her. Plus, even if I did, I wouldn't leave Amy for her. Amy is who I want and need in my life. I look over to her talking on the phone with whoever and I smile at how lucky I am.

She finally hangs up and faces me with a small pout. "Oh no, what happened?" I asked. "I'm sorry but some of the girls wanna hang out. I was gonna say no but you are gonna be working on your project right?" She said as I smiled with a nod. "I am. You can go." I tell her as she smirks coming over to me. "Not so easy." She said pulling me up with up as we start to make out and she moans into as I bring my tongue into and take over while deepening it.

We pull away breathless as she looks at me like I descended from heaven. "The things you do to me, Austin Moon." She said making me smile while leaning her head against mine. "Ditto, beautiful." I say kissing her forehead before we pull away and she kisses me one last time before going out my sliding door and across the bridge to her and Cassidy's house.

Ally's POV

I arrive at the park with a smile when I see Cassidy, Cheryl and Carrie over by the ice cream cart. "Hey ladies." I say as they turn around with a little cheer. "Hey Als. What took you so long?" Cassidy curiously asked. "I was making out with Austin for a while." I admitted as they all laughed amused at my honesty.

"I tried to make it a goodbye kiss but it did not work in my favor." I told them which just made them laugh even more. "Never try to give your boyfriend a goodbye kiss. It's never just a goodbye kiss. Relationship Advice 101." Cassidy said as I chuckled ordering my own ice cream.

"So, I'm gonna be honest it feels weird hanging with the three C's. I feel like an outcast." I say jokingly as they laughed. "Oh wow. I didn't even notice." Carrie said after my statement. "Yeah, so what do you guys wanna do?" Cheryl asked. "Let's walk around for a bit. It's been a while since I took a real walk in the park." Cassidy said as we agreed beginning to walk around.

"Is anyone nervous for prom in two months?" Carrie asked.

"Not me." Cheryl and Cassidy answered simultaneously.

"I am a little." I told her so she wouldn't feel alone and because it was the truth. It was gonna be my first one ever.

"Why are you girls nervous?" Cheryl wondered.

"Well, I didn't go to my junior prom." I told them because it was true. I didn't ever have one because I was home schooled. "Oh, well that's understandable. What about you, Carrie? You did go last year." Cassidy stated. "Yeah, but I went with some friends. This year, I'm going with my first boyfriend. My first boyfriend might I add..." She said lowly trailing off.

"What's wrong with that?" Cheryl asked with a smile because everyone adored Dez and Carrie together.

"Nothing...it's just...I hear what people say about what happens or has to happen on prom night...and I don't know wanna feel pressure or make things weird and ruin it for him." She says as we all look at each other and realize what she's talking about.

"Oh, Carrie." Cassidy said holding her shoulders as we stopped.

"Those are just stereotypes because honestly sometimes it does happen. Nothing's wrong with it as long as both people are okay with but I promise you that you don't have to do anything you are not comfortable with and I assure you Dez wouldn't even make you feel like you had to. You know him. He just wants you to be happy and that's the only thing you should focus on doing that night. Being happy." She finished off as we all smile at her beautiful speech.

"Thanks Cassidy." Carrie said giving her a quick hug.

"Has anyone picked out a dress yet?" Cheryl asked.

"Nope." Carrie and I both said.

"Ladies, I picked my outfit on the first day of school. I've been ready." Cass said making us laugh.

"So, we all have dates. That's something I never though I'd say in freshmen year." Cheryl stated.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I was a bit of a nerd back then."

"What? No way. You're like one of the most popular people in school right now."

"Oh yes way. I remember. The glasses, braces and constant science experiments." Cassidy said with a laugh along with Carrie.

"Okay, shut up." Cheryl giggled bumping their sides.

"No more of memory lane." She added as Carrie got an alert on her phone.

She checked it, then ignored it. "What was that?" Cass asked. "Oh, I made sure I get notifications any time there is an update on Ally Dawson's whereabouts's for Monroe's project." She told us. "Oh, you got that project too?" Cheryl asked as Carrie nodded her head while licking her ice cream. "

"You're already on the present time?" Cass asked intrigued.

"Yeah, researching her past was easy because I'm already a big fan and knew much about her. So this assignment is really fun for me except for the sad part of her disappearance."

"I don't think she disappeared." Cheryl said making us look at her.

"I think she was totally kidnapped by some old crazy dude." She said as me and Carrie laugh.

"Dude, don't say that! What if she's really hurt?" Cass said and I smile to myself at her over protectiveness.

"I doubt it. I mean I have no idea where she is, but for all we know this could be for publicity." Cheryl suggested.

"Why would she need publicity when she has plenty of it already? She literally finished her third world tour." Cass defended.

"Yeah, but some celebs are greedy. Some things are never enough for them. Think about it. This is something that people will never stop talking about. It's a real mystery!" Cheryl replied excitable."

"Guys, remember Monroe said not to talk about it with each other because of influence. Cassidy, your obsessiveness is being influential." Carrie said.

"Stop being so goody to shoes. I don't see a teacher here."

"I think she's right guys. I don't think we should talk about it. It's a stupid assignment and I can't wait till it's over."

"Whoa, I didn't know you hated her?" Cheryl asked.

"Yeah, you protected her with me before." Cass said.

"I don't, it's just...I don't find the topic interesting. Let it alone, it's really personal regardless of her being famous. I think it's pointless of us to make suggestions of what happened or where she is when she has a whole lot of family grieving from a loss knowing we can't even really do anything to help. Stupid." I said frustrated more to myself.

"Whoa. Deep." Cheryl said before a smile crossed her face.

"Let's just get on the swings and be 5 again because I'm really getting sick of grown up responsibilities." She said as we all ran over to them.

Austin's POV

I'm playing video games at my house with Dallas, Dez and believe it or not, Chris. Yep. This is me trying because at the end of the day, he's not a bad guy. Plus, he let Amy go so she could be with me so that definitely gives him a bonus.

"I'm totally killing you right now." Dez said into the game more than I ever seen him.

"How the hell did he get this good?" He asked baffled looking back at me while I shrug with a smile impressed with my friend.

"Guess a relationship gives the man some confidence." Chris said as we looked at Dez who was still so focused on what he was doing and realized he may be right.

"But I'm in a relationship. I don't see it giving me super gaming skills." Dallas said as we laughed.

"Yeah, but that's three years of a relationship. His is all brand new and he's feeling like the man so he's acting like it." Chris said with a smile as Dallas just shakes his head as his score going lower and lower.

"Speaking of relationships, how are you and Amy's? Chris asked me.

"Pretty good. Really good." I say with a smirk thinking about our heavy make out session this morning on my bed.

"Is it what it lived up to in your head?" Dallas asked.

"Everything and more. It's like we just fit together., ya know?"

"Oh god, get married why don't you? Grab a pair!" Dallas said as I laughed along with Chris.

"Anybody else having a hard time on that Ally Dawson assignment?" Dez asked after the final round was over.

"Yeah. I've been trying to get facts on her but pictures of her in skimpy concert outfits keep coming up and it's a distraction. Man, the outfits she wears..." Dallas said thinking about it in a trance as we all laugh.

"Uh, don't let me tell Cass you said that." I joked as he rolled his eyes.

"She's a celeb. It doesn't count. They basically don't exist in the same world to us." He said as we shook our heads.

"They're normal just like us." Dez told him.

"Obviously, but that's not how their treated. So, we really don't exist to them unless we're going to one of their concerts or watching them in a movie. Normal? Normal people don't need bodyguards. Normal people are not on the front of magazines. Normal people don't have millions of people adoring them." He said passionately.

"Wow, you really hate celebrities huh?"

"I don't hate them. I just think a lot of the one's who are not grateful for what they have are not deserving of all the respect."

"Well, I can agree on that. But what about you and Austin?" Dez asked.

"What about us?" I asked him.

"You two are football stars." He said.

"Dude, that's completely different. We're in high school football, not the big leagues."

"Yeah, but my point is what happens if you both make it to the big leagues? You could easily get as cocky as a celebrity because you'll basically be one. Especially if you are as good as you two are now. My guess is that many celebrities weren't as arrogant as they were before they became one. It's the hype people give them that changes their perspective most of the time." He said as Dallas and I looked at each other not even thinking about it.

"Well, I don't wanna be an asshole and say that I won't change and then unexpectedly change but I'm gonna try damn hard not too. But if I do...remind me of who I was. Don't let me lose myself." I told them as they all nodded. "Same here." Dallas said. "All of us, including the girls. Whatever we end up doing with our lives, don't let us get ahead of ourselves and leave the others behind." He added as I smiled.

"Deal." Dez and Chris said as we nodded and begin playing our game.

"It's almost time for the carnival. Are the girls still meeting us there?" I asked them not really knowing the plan.

"Yeah. Cassidy is going with Amy, Carrie and Cheryl and Kira and Trish are gonna meet there separately." Dallas answered.

"I guess we'll just all go together." Dez said as we nodded starting to head out.

Ally's POV

We all met up at the carnival together. Austin, Dallas, Dez, Chris, Cheryl, Cassidy, Carrie, Trish and Kira. We decided to get on this huge roller coaster and this should be interesting to me considering I've never been on one.

We get on by groups. Dallas and Cassidy. Dez and Carrie. Chris and Cheryl. Kira and Trish. Austin and me. As it makes noise beginning to start, Austin looks over to me. "Scared?" He smirked. "No." I lied as he gave me a look as I sigh and roll my eyes. "A little nervous is all." I say as he holds my hand.

"You'll be fine. I'm right here." He assured me making me smile as the roller coaster started and we headed up the hill. The tension inside my body was amazing. Not knowing what was gonna happen or what I would feel. We finally reached the top and the adrenaline kicked off once we sped down the steep hill and I laughed in delight from the amazing rush. That was the best high I've ever felt in my life.

After the ride, we all get cotton candy and sit down at a table. "So, did you like the ride?" Austin asked with a smirk as I smiled widely. "It was absolutely amazing! The best thing I've ever done!" I say cheerful as he laughs.

"Okay, calm down Michigan girl." Trish says making everyone laugh. "Leave my baby alone." Austin said kissing me on the lips as I smile against his side.

"Did you guys here about the Prom theme?" Chris asked us.

"Why would you care about a prom theme?" Dallas said to him.

"I care when the theme is the circus." He said as we all became shocked and confused.

"Wait, what? Who the hell decided that?" Kira asked baffled.

"I have no idea. But apparently it's some girls from band club. One of them has a thing for clowns." He chuckled shaking his head.

"There is no way in hell I am letting my senior prom have a theme for clowns." Cassidy said upset. "Well, then why don't you ask the principle tomorrow if you can join the prom committee so you can get it switched?" Dallas told her as she thought about. "That's exactly what I'm gonna do babe." She smiled.

"Add me in." Kira and I said at the same time.

"I personally don't care what the theme is. As long as the lighting is right for my animal print, I'm good." Trish said with a shrug.

"Me neither. I just wanna be with my Dezzy." Carrie said as they both smiled when she put her head on his shoulder.

"Well, I do. Get it changed ladies. Clowns do not make for a good background." Austin said getting up and throwing his trash away.

"You guys want to go on the Tilta World? I've been eyeing it all day." Cheryl asked us. "Nah, we just ate. I don't want to puke." Cassidy said getting on Dallas's lap. "Bunch of babies." Cheryl teased. "I'll go. If I puke, who cares?" Trish said getting up. "Yeah, why not." Chris said getting up along with Kira and those four go to get on leaving Dallas, Cassidy, Dez and Carrie at the table as I'm standing up with Austin.

"You want to do something, babe?" I asked putting my arms around him as he just smiled down at me talking to him. "I actually do. Come with me." He said grabbing my hand as we walk somewhere he wanted to take me.

We arrive at a photo booth and I smile realizing why. He wanted our memories saved and remembered forever.

"You're not one of those girls who are very sensitive about taking pictures right?"

"No, not at all." I say with a laugh as he puts money in and we go inside. "Here." Austin said patting his leg causing me to smile as I sit on his lap.

The screen starts to countdown from 10 and then we start taking pictures. We laugh because we are having the best time and when we are done, we get out. I reach down for them and we both look at them. The first one consisted of us just smiling. The second one was us doing a kissy face towards each other. The third one was a silly one with my tongue out and his eyes crossed and the last one was him kissing my cheek and me smiling with my eyes closed.

They came out so beautiful but I can't help but see another girl when I look down at them. A girl who has blonde hair, not brown like me. A girl that has blue eyes, not brown like me. A girl that has bangs, not a straight part in the middle like me.

I look at Austin who's still smiling at the pictures before looking my way. "I'm just having the best time tonight and I know it's all because of you. You're amazing." He said as I looked into his eyes before leaning up and kissing him. He kisses me back with 10x the passion it had before and I wrap my arms around him as we continue to make out.

Soon enough, we hear a couple of coughs from behind us that causes us to separate. We see another couple who look to be a bit older than us, like their early twenties.

"We don't mean to interrupt but we want to use the...photo booth?" The guy said awkwardly and we look back realizing we are blocking it.

"Oh, oh we're sorry." We say at the same time now blushing embarrassed.

"Oh, no don't be. You guys are cute." The guy's girlfriend said as we blushed and chuckled letting them by as we walked away.

"Wow." I say as he shakes his head. "Yeah, that just happened." He said as I just chuckled. "Oh, look. It's a Ferris Wheel." He said as I looked up to it and I realized he wanted to get on with me.

"What's the matter?" He asked noticing my hesitation.

"I...I just um.."

"Oh, don't tell me you haven't rode a Ferris Wheel before?" He asked as I didn't say anything.

"Come on, Russo! You have not been living at all."

"I guess not. But I'm pretty scared of heights and from what I heard these things are pretty slow so that doesn't exactly help." I say as he laughs.

"You'll be fine. I promise."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because I'll be with you." He said as I smile.

"And as long as I'm with you, nothing will hurt you." He said as I smiled hugging him as he pulled me tighter and nothing felt more right than being in his arms.

"Okay, let's do this then." I say as we get in line and before I know it we are strapped in and on our way up.I inhale and exhale to keep myself calm and Austin chuckles hearing me.

"Don't make fun of me!"

"I'm not. You're just really adorable when you are scared."

"That's not reassuring that I'll be okay."

"I told you. I'm right here." He tells me again as I look in his eyes before slowly nodding and trusting him.

"How about you talk to me about something to keep my mind off it?" I ask turning to him.

"Okay, tell me more about your mom." He said as I panic just a little.

"Why?"

"Well, we've only talked about her like once and I want to know what my future mother in law is like." He said with a smile. "What?!" I said laughing loudly as he did too.

"That calmed your nerves huh?" He asked.

"You are crazy."

"And you love it." He said leaning in and kissing me.

"But seriously, I do wanna know more about her."

"Like what?"

"I don't know. Are you close to her?" He asked as I thought about it.

"I don't think so, no. As I got older, she kinda changed."

"What do you mean?"

"She wasn't really making our mother daughter relationship a priority. It started to become something...that just faded over time. If I'm being honest, the older I get, the more I think I've lost her as a mother. She's more of just my manager."

"Manager?" He questioned and I realize I used a word from my life before.

"Um...I'm just talking metaphorically." I say to cover it up and he nods believing it.

"But yeah, she just seems to care more about my success than actually me."

"I doubt that's true."

"That's easy for you to say. Both of your parents are in your life." I say as he looks down.

"Sorry, I didn't mean that."

"It's fine."

"I shouldn't have said that. It's not your fault, your life isn't a mess."

"Stop, don't say that."

"Why not?"

"Because your life isn't a mess. You're amazing Amy Russo don't you get that?" He said sternly making me face him as we get stopped at the very top.

"You are beautiful, smart, kind and overall the best thing that has ever happened to any of us. We're a better group of friends because of you. Some of them wasn't even in our friend group before and now they are because you were so open and kind to letting them in. Don't you know that you change people when you meet them? You're inspiring to others, Russo. Don't ever doubt yourself again." He said as I just looked in his eyes before grabbing his face and kissing him.

Austin is in a little shock from the sudden action but it doesn't take him long to get with the program. His soft lips move against mine and I sigh in satisfaction of how great it feels to be with him and him only.

Our make out session starts to get even more intense and that's when I start to feel something between my legs. A wetness that I've heard about in magazines or with friends from my pop star life. So, this is what it's like to be completely turned on?

Austin sticks his tongue inside my mouth and I accept it twirling mine along with his and I feel myself get even moister than before and it feels so good. I moan into the kiss Austin gets turned on by deepening it more than I thought possible.

"Hey lovebirds!" We hear as we separate looking down below seeing all our friends. "Come down. We are gonna go see the karaoke show." Kira yelled up at us. "Coming down right now is not exactly our choice!" I yelled back to her.

Dallas turns to the dude working the machine and slips him some money and he nods pulling the lever. I laugh shaking my head turning back to Austin and we look at each other shyly with a blush.

"You're the best boyfriend ever." I tell him because of his amazing speech to me before giving him two soft pecks causing him to smile before we get off the Ferris Wheel. "Let's go!" Carrie cheered as we all walked over to the huge karaoke stage.

We looked up at the current person on stage singing horribly but that's what karaoke if for. You don't have to be good to sing it.

"So, what is this? Karaoke for anyone who wants to do it?" I asked.

"Yep." Trish replied.

"People just go up there to make a fool out of themselves?"

"Yeah. People love to watch others fail." Dallas said drinking some of his beer.

I watched the girl on stage finish and the lady host comes out with a cigarette and a mic.

"Give it up for Shelley! Or Chelsea! I don't remember..." She said unenthusiastic as we all laughed. "Anyone else wanna get up here?" She asked as there were murmurs in the crowd but no one to volunteer. "Oh come on. This is a huge crowd tonight. Which one of you wimps are gonna grow some balls and show these losers who's boss huh?" She said and wow she is lethal but I smile and raise my hand.

"I will Miss." I said as she faced me and all my friends widened their eyes towards me. "Wait seriously?" Cheryl asked. "Wait huh?" Chris asked. "You're kidding right?" Trish said. "But why?" Cassidy asked. "You're actually going up there?" Austin said and I sigh turning around to them.

"Why not? I have this song I wrote and I've been wondering when was the best time to try it out and I'm thinking why not here?" I say with a smile before turning away and going onto the stage.

"Okay, this pretty girl is gonna sing something for you."

"This pretty girl has a name." I say as the crowd laughs and she looks taken back.

"Okay, then. What's the pretty girl, name?"

"Ally Dawson." I say as my friends cheer after I say name making me blush embarrassed.

"Alright, Ally Dawson. Show us what you got." She said handing me the mic as I gave the DJ the beats I produce and always carry around with me.

I hopped off the plane at L.A.X.
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess (whoa),
Am I gonna fit in?

Jumped in the cab,
Here I am for the first time
Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous

Everyone realizes that I'm not like everyone else and that I'm really good and start to dance to the beat and song together.

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous,
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay-Z song was on
And a Jay-Z song was on
And a Jay-Z song was on

When I start the chorus, everyone is jumping all around and dancing along with my friends who are smiling happy at my performance.

[Chorus:]
So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up,
They're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

I jump off the stage and start walking among the crowd and the guys whistle and the girls cheer loudly into the air.

Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's looking at me now
Like, "Who's that chick that's rockin' kicks?
She gotta be from out of town."

So hard with my girls not around me
It's definitely not a Nashville party
'Cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo?

I head back on stage and start dancing and moving to the beat and rhythm smiling feeling beyond ecstatic as my natural singing presence flows within me.

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on

I model slowly up to the stage with the bridge running my hands through my hair.

Feel like hoppin' on a flight (on a flight)
Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight)
Something stops me every time (every time)
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright

After my high note, I fall into the people and they crowd surf me as they get louder while I sing the chorus over and over again.

The crowd returns me to the stage and I finish my last lines singing my heart out.

Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
(2x)

After I'm done, the whole crowd gives me a standing ovation and I just smile thanking them before getting off stage.

I walk over to the group who gives me continuous praises and hi fives.

"You did so amazing, Ams!" Kira said.

"As always!" Cassidy added.

"You're really talented." Dez said followed by more things from all of them.

"Thank guys. It means a lot coming from you." I said with a smile.

"You all ready to go now?" Cheryl asked. "Yeah, let's go." Trish responded as we all started walking back to our cars.

I decided to ride with Austin since we live next to each other and we head out. "You really are talented, you know that?" He said while he drove and I smiled. "Thanks babe. You are too." I say as he smiled putting one hand on my leg. "I'm so happy that we're in this together." He said as I could tell in his voice that he meant it with everything in him. "Me too." I say as he pulls up to our houses.

"There is nothing that can tear us apart." I tell him and he smiles before leaning in as we kiss for the millionth time tonight. This is the true happiness I was searching for all this time. I don't think I'm gonna ever be ready to let it go.
