A WHOLE MONTH SINCE MY LAST UPDATE!? I'm so sorry (now I'm over it but still ;) I really want to post more, but seeing as I don't expect to be able to change my schedule or my habits any time soon I'll just say that I'm sorry and I'm still not making any promises. Anyway, enjoy! And I need more ideas (especially if you guys want another chapter sooner than a month!)

"Bye, Mom." I walked out the front door of my parents' house and got into my dad's truck, he let me borrow it for the day as I was going to pick up some groceries and stuff for them while I did what I had to do around the city. My first stop was the Mall of Miami.

I parked my car at the far end of the parking lot because it was a cool, rainy kind of Saturday that brought just about everyone to the mall rather than the beach. I ambled through the parking lot, slipping between cars and taking my time, trying to plan out exactly what I wanted to say to Ally if she was there. I hadn't come up with a single word when I made it to the door that led inside the mall. I heaved it open and walked through, holding tight to my backpack on my shoulder which contained Ally's songbook, silently praying for it to give me strength.

I crossed through a side area of the mall and heard a familiar voice call out to me, I grinned and turned around to greet the older woman.

"Ms. Suzy!" I exclaimed, putting a little too much effort into my excitement, despite the fact that I was happy to see her.

"Austin Moon," she replied, arms outstretched and walking toward me. I embraced her quickly and asked how she'd been.

"Wonderful," she said, smiling, "How about you? With everything I hear about your career I think you deserve a whole sheet of gold stars!"

"Thanks," I laughed. "Actually, I have to ask you something."

"Of course, Austin- oh! Wait, are you hear for Ally's wedding?"

"Um, yeah, kind of. I mean, yes." I fixed myself and gave Ms. Suzy an unsure smile.

"Well that's wonderful," Ms. Suzy replied, unfazed by my obviously waning confidence. "So, are you going to see Ally right now?" Ms. Suzy asked excitedly.

"Actually I am." I responded.

"Well, I don't mean to get in your way. Bye Austin!" Ms. Suzy quickly hugged him and quietly whispered, "Good luck."

It wasn't malicious, it was kind of full of pity. I quickly released her and said goodbye, then walked away, leaving her behind to reenter her restaurant. I slowed down after she was back inside her restaurant and rounded a corner. There was a bench and barely anybody around so I sat down and put my head in my hands.

"Come on, we'll go over to the bridal shop first," said a voice coming around the corner. I slunk to the edge of the bench near a bush and stayed out of view. I knew the voice and it sent my mind into a spiral, my head spun and my breaths got short- that's the effect that Ally Dawson could have on me. Still, after all these years, she could make me catch my breath with the utterance of a single word. The beautiful glass around me shattered when I heard the accompanying voice follow the statement.

"Sure, Sweetheart." It was almost tired, almost reluctant or bored. I couldn't help but think that if I had the chance to marry Ally Dawson I would follow her to any bridal shop or any bakery simply to be around her. Alright, now I was getting sappy. I hid behind my backpack and watched Ally come into view followed closely behind by a man whose face I could not see. He bent down and stole a kiss from her lips, I let my hand ball up into a fist at the sight. They continued walking away from where I hid and I let myself sit straight up again. Taking out Ally's songbook I turned to a random page and read her entry.

Dear Songbook,

Tonight Austin left on his first ever tour. Without me. I can't blame him, I'm the one who chose to do it, to stay behind. Now I have the best chance I've ever had at making a record deal. I'm so excited, but I can't help thinking about Austin and his last few words for me. His card. I can't wait ninety four days to see him, it's too long. Especially since I think I want something, I want him, I want us again. And I think he does too.

Love Forever,

Ally Dawson

I loved her writing, the way she described us was perfect. Absolutely perfect. I remembered the night that she came to find me before I went on tour, saying goodbye to her was horrible. I had prepared a card for her, I can remember what it said word for word, but when I held it in my hand, waiting to see if she would come, I was desperately hoping that I could just through it away. That Ally would come on tour and I would never have to say goodbye to her. Unfortunately, she didn't come. She didn't, and that night I remember I covered myself in blankets in my little bed on the bus and cried. It was silent, but I cried. Because I missed her so much, it had only been a few hours, but I missed her so much. God, just like I did sitting on that bench paging through her songbook.

Later in the day after lunch, I made my way towards the corner of the mall that housed Sonic Boom and walked past it at least three times before finally managing to walk in.

"Oh my god." I heard it from behind the counter and quickly moved towards it, trying to keep my face from growing red and my breaths from getting short.

"Hey," I said slowly, treading carefully as I tried to talk to Ally. Trying to not make a mistake or bring up the biggest mistake of my life- even though I knew it was still at the front of her mind.

"What are you doing here?" She sounded hesitant, nervous, but not angry. Almost relieved. But that's just me.

"I, uh, found this." I didn't know why, but I figured it was my best bet. I slowly placed the songbook on the counter and waited for her reaction. It came in tears.

"You kept it." It wasn't a question, or a truly a statement. It was kind of in the middle. Like she was just trying to make sense of the whole situation.

"I had to." I responded. "It was all that I had left of my the love of my life."

"Austin." She replied, tears welling behind her eyes. "Come here." She took my hand and guided me up the steps that I used to climb every day, we entered the practice room and I saw the huge "A" still hanging on the wall, the rest of our stuff was in boxes now and it was truly a storage room except for the piano which still stood where it always had. Looking at the room from the corner, silently watching everything that happens. She sat down and started to play, I knew the song well, it was "I Think About You". I joined her nervously, wavering in my confidence, and began to play as well. We harmonized the chorus and it was like the weight of the world was lifted off of my shoulders.

That was when she glided her hand across the piano and made contact with mine, just for a split second, and that was it. We stopped playing and I placed my hand on hers. I let my lips creep closer and closer to hers until we were only millimeters apart. She leaned in and closed the gap, damn how much I missed her lips on mine, and I was in heaven. That was until I heard the voice call from downstairs.

"Babe, where are you? Ally?"

I tore back from her lips and when I opened my eyes I realized that I wasn't in Sonic Boom at all, I was sitting straight up in my old bed, drenched in sweat and shaking from my imaginary encounter. I let the first word that came to mind escape my lips (it started with an F) and I leaned back against my pillow. I tried to close my eyes and go back to sleep, but every time I did I just felt Ally surrounding me, her lips only an inch from mine, but never touching them. I needed her back. I still loved her.

Ooooo drama! Alright, so constructive criticism PLEASE or IDEAS! I need ideas!

Welp, that's about it for today, review por favor!
