AUSTIN'S POV:
Friends. Why did i say friends? I wanted to be so much more than that. I wanted to be her soul-mate, her protector, her lover, everything. But now i couldn't, and i even said so myself that i wanted to be her friend. Wow, what an idiot i was.
The rest of the weekend i spent with Ally, mucking about and eating ice-cream while walking along the beach. It was now 1:00am and we were sat in my hotel room, and my had bought a keyboard from the local music store here in Miami, and we were back to writing songs together. I really missed writing songs with Ally. It was my entire fault that we broke from being partners, and even more importantly, friends. I missed the way she laughed, i missed the way she cared so much about school and education, i missed her giggle, her smile, the sparkle in her eyes. I just missed her. I couldn't explain it.
"Where did you get this?" She asked, setting her bag down on the seat that was tucked under the table and walked over to the keyboard that was already set up near my bed.
"Sonic Boom." I replied, walking over to her and next to her. "Music store like a couple of blocks away from here." I said.
"Oh, i really wanna try it there." She smiled. I chuckled and casually put my arm around her shoulders with a smile. She turned to me and gave me the eye.
"What happened to just friends?" She said confused. I started to blush and let my arm down.
"Right, sorry, i got carried away." I coughed down my words and quickly sat on the stool next to Ally, watching her get out her songbook and place it on the stand with a smile in my direction. "Am i still not allowed to touch your book?" I said with a chuckle rumbling in my throat.
"Nope." She said, popping the 'p'. I rolled my eyes and laughed, playing a few notes on the keyboard. After shuffling around with her bag for a few minutes, she settled down and finally turned to me. "Okay, right, i have a few lyrics that i've been working on. Maybe a few songs as well." I smiled at her, not being able to stop thinking about out utterly gorgeous she was, just sitting right there.
"Show me." I said, and she smiled, reaching for her book and opening it to a certain page.
"They aren't great but-"
"Ally." I interrupted her, and she looked at me, her chocolate eyes shining. "Just sing it." I smiled at her reassuringly and she returned it, then started to play. The sound of the notes flowing into my ear and i closed my eyes, listening to the keyboard play and then her angelic voice joined in soon after.
Kinda wish I had the courage a bit of bravery so tired of waiting on a man to come and save me
Wishing I had everything or something really
Hard to admit it but now I'm thinking freely
I'm going to open my mind to all these
New found exciting possibilities
Oh ah Oh ah Oh ah Oh Oh
I'm making all my own plans
Oh ah Oh ah Oh ah Oh Oh
Throwing my old one's away
Gotta grow up be someone
Draw a map, find a path take a breath and run
And run
She let her voice drag on, and as she finished i started to clap, cheering her and she smiled at me, lowering her head as she started to blush. I smiled at her and stopped clapping.
"Ally, that song is great!" I said, and she looked up, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "But, can i ask you something?" She frowned and nodded softly. "What is that song about?" I gulped and waited for her answer, and her frown left her face and she started looking nervous and unsure.
"Um…well…" She started to stutter, and her fingers twitched, and her feet shuffled on the carpet. "It's kinda...about…" She looked up at me and her chocolate eyes deep and nervous. "…you." I frowned as she let out that word and tipped my head in confusion.
"Me?" I asked, shocked. Why would she write something about 'making her own plans' when it's about me? "What do i have to do with that?" She looked annoyed and she stood up, walking to the kitchen to grab a drink. Well, she does like to make herself at home more often than she used to.
"Remember three years ago, when you left me and ditched the great job we had together?" I didn't reply to that and just lowered my head. "Well, after you left to all your popular stuff i had to make up my own way, because i had nowhere to go and nothing to do. You used to guide my future for me, but then you went away and i had nothing else to do, and i had to make my own way up." As she finished i felt myself unable to answer, so i just looked up sympathetically, unable to talk. "Forget it, why would you care?" She muttered under her breath. I really felt bad.
"No, Ally, i do care. I'm really sorry about what i did, and everytime i think about it i want to beat myself up. Honestly, i was such a jerk and i don't know how you even accepted me as your boyfriend after what i did. I always wanted to love you and be nice to you and let you love me, but i was being a stupid idiotic jerk. I'm sorry." She looked up at me in sorrow, her eyes dark. I felt so bad, i just wanted to punch myself, but i stared at her back. Out of nowhere, she ran up to me and hugged me around my waist tightly, nearly pushing me over. I stared down at her, her petite frame embracing me. I smiled softly after a few moments and hugged her back, arms around her. Her warmness embraced me, and it brought back so many memories of our past hugs, and i realised how much of a jerk i was. I sighed and pulled her closer. After what seemed like forever, we leant away and i stared down into her eyes, and vice versa. I stared at her lips, and they started mocking me. They were tight and pale, and he wanted to make them red and swollen with his kisses, but he couldn't. He really wanted to, though.
"Thanks, Austin." Ally whispered, moving the hair from his eyes and smiling softly up at him.
"For what?"
"For saying that. That's the sweetest thing i've heard you say to me about our past." She murmured and pulled away, looking down shyly.
"Anything for you." I said without thinking. Ally glared at me and i smirked. "Sorry." I mumbled, but really i wasn't. I meant everything i said.
Rock on!
