The next chapter is here! Thanks for all the responses for the story so far! I really appreciate it! :)

This chapter is the beginning of the end (of the story). You'll see what I mean...hopefully. I was going to make it the epilogue, but I finished writing it, and was like, no, it's not finished yet. It needs more, so there will be at least another chapter. Anyways, onto the story!

Disclaimer: I don not own Austin Ally, Timeless, or anything else you recognize here.

It's been a year since Ally Dawson committed suicide. Life has gone on, but Trish and Dez hasn't forgotten her. Neither has Austin. No, he could never forget the girl that had changed his life.

Everything was different now. Ally's dad was in rehab—yes, Austin had managed to persuade him to go. Austin even visited Lester Dawson regularly to talk about life. During those first couple months after Ally's death, the two had become close, helping each other through their pain.

Austin never took off the whistle necklace Ally had given him. Every night, he still slept with Dougie the Dolphin and the fleece blanket he had taken (secretly, of course). And Ally's book was always with him, everywhere he went. He would occasionally take it out and read it. It made him feel closer to Ally.

When Austin had first read the book, he'd been surprised. There were pages upon pages of songs, songs that he found out as he read the book, that Ally herself had written. Then, there were the journal entries about school, about her dad, about her life, about her songs, about her future, about him. Austin was, in fact, the main topic she wrote about. Today, Austin did this, today Austin did that. And she didn't write down any of the teasing he did. No, she documented every little thing Austin did that made her happy—the winks, the grins, the way he said her name…the list goes on and on.

The first time Austin read that, he's wanted to slap himself silly. Why hadn't he asked her out? She liked him as much as he'd liked her, and maybe if he's shown that he loved her, she wouldn't have given up. Then he really slapped himself. He slapped himself because these were the thoughts that Ally didn't want him to have in his mind. She'd made that quite clear.

The last entry in the book had surprised him. He had never saw this coming. Ally must have written it right before she posted the letter. She also must have been crying when she wrote it, because there random wrinkled spots in on the page as if tears had fallen onto it. Austin had cried when he read it, because it was addressed directly to him.

Austin,

I know you'll probably never read this, but just in case you do, well, I have something to tell you.

There was only one thing that had meaning in my life, one thing that I looked forward to, and that was seeing you. You were my sunshine, Austin. You were my Moon. Every time I saw you, I would silently promise you that I would never give up on life. I also promised that I would one day tell you how I feel. But if you are reading this, then that means I have failed you. And I'm sorry for that.

All those times you teased me, I never actually minded it. I was happy that you gave me the attention. I enjoyed your company—your gorgeous brown eyes, hair that flops just the right way, your amazing personality, and you smelled of a fresh summer breeze. I loved it. And I still do. You may be wondering why I'm telling you this. It's because I love you, and I always have. I'm sorry that I gave up, but I hope that you'll never forget me. You're a very important person in my life, the most important, and I just want to say thank you. Thank you, for being my angel.

As you looked through my book, I'm sure you noticed all the songs I wrote. Songs written for you, about you, inspired by you. Don't lie, Austin. I've heard you sing. I know you secretly love music. How do I know that? I was always there in the music room when you came in during lunch. I made sure you never saw me, but I was there. You're and amazing singer. Your voice is…perfection.

As I said earlier, these songs I wrote are for you. I want you to use them. Use them to become an overnight internet sensation. Use them to prove to your parents wrong (yes, I was there that time you fell asleep in the music room. You talk in your sleep, you know that?) For a boy that can play every instrument, including a trumpet through another trumpet (yes, I was there for that too), it shouldn't be hard. You've already got the charm. Now all you have to do is show the world what you can do.

Use my songs, Austin. Become famous. It's your dream, and I want to help you fulfill it. Don't ever give up like I did, Austin. You're too good for that. Besides, if you did, then I would have written all those songs for nothing. No, Austin, live your life to the fullest. And please, don't ever forget me.

Love,

Ally

Austin had done exactly as she had asked. At first, he couldn't believe that the songs were really for him. (He also couldn't believe that he never noticed Ally in the music room, or that he talked in his sleep.) He learned all the songs Ally had written him, then asked Dez to help him make a cool music video of "Double Take", the first song in Ally's book, to put on the internet. It was an instant hit, and fans kept asking for more. Trish became Austin's manager, Dez became his filmmaker, and the three of them became Team Austin.

Trish was a really good manager. She had booked him gigs, shows, and interviews. She also got him signed to Starr Records, and booked him to play Times Square, one of his dreams. Eventually, he put out his first album and got the chance to go on tour.

The tour was called the "Can't Do It Without You Tour", because that song meant so much to him. It was the first song he ever wrote, there was no way he could have pursued his dream without Ally or Team Austin, and where would he be without the fans?

Austin ended every concert with a little speech thanking Ally, and singing a song he had written for her—"Timeless".

But tonight was special. Tonight was different from every other night on the tour. Because exactly a year ago, Ally killed herself. And tonight, Austin wanted everyone to know that.

This love is never gonna fade,

We are timeless,
We are timeless,

My heart will never ever change,
We are timeless,

We are timeless,
And we're gonna last,

Our love will always feel this way,
We are timeless!
We are timeless!

The crowd cheered as Austin finished the song. Austin knew that they were expecting the concert to end, but he had one surprise for all of them. He grabbed the mic.

"Hey everyone! I have a surprise for you tonight! I'm sure all of you know that Ally Dawson is the one who inspires me the most, the one who keeps me going, the one who wrote most of my songs, and the one that the songs I write are about. Ally is a very special girl to me, and I wish you could all meet her, but you can't, because exactly one year ago, she shot herself."

That's the end of Chapter Four! How is the crowd going to react? What's Austin's surprise? What did you think of this chapter? Please le me know what you think! :)

Oh, and also, I was wondering...how many of you would you an Austin & Ally crossover with Percy JacksonI wrote one? please let me know if you would read it! :) Thanks!

So until next time,

Stay #LOUD! :)
