Chapter 6

Austin Moon lay in the hospital bed, thinking about the life he had lived. After the "Can't Do It Without You Tour", he had decided to settle down and attend college, and got into MUNY, the school Ally had dreamed of getting into. The college was one of the best music schools in the country, and Austin had been delighted when he learned that he was accepted.

While attending college, Austin still played gigs and concerts every now and then, because it was what he loved to do. Some weekends, he would even fly down to Florida to see Dez and Trish, who had finally become a couple, and the three of them would go visit Ally. They'd spend a day there at her grave, having a picnic, talking about life, just catching up in general. They would also tell Ally everything that has happened to them since they last visited her.

After college, Austin had recorded more songs, put out more albums, and gone on more tours. He'd also special guest starred in some TV shows, won some awards, and overall, lived a very successful life. Of course, he never forgot about Ally while he was doing all this. In fact, Ally was never far from his mind. The necklace she'd given him was still around his neck, the songbook was with him at all times, and every night, he still slept with the fleece blanket and Dougie the Dolphin (still secretly, of course). And he had ended every single concert he had played in his life with his traditional speech dedicated to the one and only Ally Dawson.

Austin had never found another girl to replace her. Sure, he had tried dating a couple girls, but things never worked out. So he had remained single until this very day, at forty-five years old. Yes, he had kept his promise to the girl he loved for a long as he could, even when he had been diagnosed with cancer at age forty. Even though he constantly needed treatment for the cancer, he still plowed on ahead, playing concerts, visiting hospitals, doing interviews, writing songs, and just doing what he loved best. All his friends, and the fans were really supportive of him, always writing encouraging notes, giving him get well cards, and even understanding why he had to cancel a concert (thankfully, that had only happened twice).

For five years, Austin plowed on ahead, determined that his cancer wouldn't stop him from doing what he loved to do. Trish and Dez, and their daughter Allie (yes, the two had gotten married) had played a huge role in his life after both his parents had died. In fact, they were the first ones to know that Austin had cancer, and were totally supportive of his decision to keep going.

Last week, at a concert in Miami, Austin had collapsed onstage and had been rushed to the hospital. Trish and Dez had been called, and together, Team Austin found out that Austin only had a week left to live. Dez had burst into tears, while Trish left the room. Sighing, Austin had accepted the fact and had tried to comfort his friend. It kind of worked. By the time Trish came back into the room an hour later with their ten year old daughter Allie, Dez's crying had been reduced to occasional sniffles.

"Why is Uncle Austin at the hospital? And why is Daddy crying?" little Allie had asked.

After a silent conversation between the adults, Trish and Dez had taken their daughter out into the hallway to tell her what was going on, leaving Austin all alone in the hospital room. Bored already from just lying in bed, his mind had wandered to the week of life he had left to live. What should he do during that week? What was the last things he'd do with his life? Austin had decided that he'd play one last concert here in Miami, visit Ally, and hang out with Trish, Dez, and Allie.

But first things first. Austin had grabbed his phone and opened his Twitter app. He had many new mentions, all including the hashtag #PrayforAustin. All supportive messages from his fans, wanting to know what had happened and wishing him a speedy recovery. So many messages that soon, #PrayforAustin was trending on the network. Austin hadn't wanted to share the news with the fans, but they deserved to know. However, he'd decided that he wouldn't tell them that he only had a week left.

Thanks for all your support! :) Was feeling down, but a bit better now! This is not going to stop me. There will be another concert in Miami later this week! Austin quickly re-read his tweet before pressing the "post" button. There was no going back now.

Just then, Trish, Dez, and Allie had walked back in, and the four of them had talked. Allie was a bit scared, but Austin had cheered her up by telling her stories and jokes. When the little girl had fallen asleep, Austin had talked to Trish and Dez about giving one last concert in Miami. After a lot of convincing and puppy dog eyes on his part, he'd finally convinced his friends to help him. Trish booked him the stadium, Dez helped with the lights, and Austin practice his vocals. Seeing that he didn't have the energy to rock out on stage like he used to, Austin had decided on an acoustic set of all his songs.

Four days of fun and preparation later, everything was set.

And that's Chapter 6! As always, let me know what you thought in a review! :) Please? I love reading them!
