A/N: Thanks for the reviews darlings! Much appreciated! xoxo Sorry to leave you hanging, but it's what makes the excitement and anticipation worth waiting for.

Also, listen to the song while reading this chapter. I legit cried when writing this chapter, because well you'll see.

Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally or The Disney Channel. I don't own the song lyrics either.


AUSTIN'S POV

Previously on Teardrops...

Baby, I didn't say my vows

I've reached the main doors to the front of the church and swing them open and head out of the church and into the pouring rain. I just hope that it's not too late.

After all she may not have been around but I didn't even let the preacher say Speak Now...


Trish told me where Ally was staying, "She's staying at The Marriott!"

The Marriott? Think Austin! How far is that from the church? More importantly...where is it?

Three long blocks, off of Miami Boulevard. While running I'm not left alone with my thoughts as a song that means a lot to Ally and I starts to play itself out in my head.

I'm desperate for changing

Starving for truth

I'm closer to where I started

I'm chasing after you

I'll never forget the first time that we heard it on the radio.


Flashback

We were sitting in the practice room attempting to write a new song when Ally was extremely tired. The ideas we were coming up with are just so not working. And to be honest, we were both feeling a little off creatively and lacking in inspiration.

"I'm sorry Austin, nothing we're coming up with is working."

"It's okay Ally, I'm having a hard time coming up with a melody for our new song so you're not alone there."

"I just rarely lack inspiration creatively." She pauses, "Hey, why don't we listen to the radio? Maybe something will create that spark we need to write a song." The hope in her voice was desperate and yet truly adorable at the same time.

She turns on the radio, the radio dj announces, "Up next, check out Lifehouse's latest song Hanging By A Moment. This one goes out to you friends that want to be more or couples that are already in love."

I watched a blush creep on Ally's face and I'm pretty sure that mine mirrored hers. The song starts and Ally was totally into the song, listening to the lyrics intently. The way that lyrics speak to her because it tells a story that is much deeper.

The band sounds awesome, the lead singers voice is just edgy enough, raw and masculine.

While the music plays I watch as Ally sways her hips back and forth to the beat of the music. That is until the chorus starts and she pulls me up with her and out of my trance.

"Dance with me, Austin."

How could I possibly say no to her!

"Okay, but please not The Ally Way."

She frowns at me, "But I thought you secretly loved my own dance? We did make a music video out of it. Jean-Paul Paul Jean loved it so much that it was turned into an international dance craze. Don't you remember any of that?"

Your dance isn't the only thing I love or should I say person I love. I mutter quietly to myself.

"What did you say?"

"I said I love your dancing." Phew that was close.

I'm falling even more in love with you

We start dancing to the chorus and Ally starts jumping around and dancing with the biggest smile on her face. By the time the bridge of the chorus began the second time Ally and I already knew the lyrics. We continue to listen to the song only singing the chorus since that's the only party we've memorized.

There's nothing else to lose

The song ends and we cease dancing and jumping all over the room. Feeling the adrenaline and happiness that the song made me feel I decided to make a bold move. She's standing still looking at me with a What? look on her beautiful face. I stalk towards her and grab her face with both of my hands and kiss her like I've never kissed her before.

She pulls away before I am able to kiss her once again, "What was that for? We're not a couple."

There's nothing in the world

That can change my mind

I smirk at her, but I'm very genuine at the same time, "Let's just say I'm just hanging by a moment here with you."

I go to kiss her again and she puts her finger over my lips, "Uh- uh. No kissy kissy until we've written the song out and finished it."

"Work first!" She stands up and bends down to grab her songbook that fell on the floor when we were dancing while I smack her on the ass.

"Play later?" I say with a smirk on my face, then I get an idea. "Well then, the only way I could possibly focus is having you sit on my lap on the piano bench."

She playfully nudges me, "In your dreams, Austin."

"Are you challenging me Ally?" Then I grab her by the waist and pull her onto my lap.

"Ahhhhh! No fair! You're so much stronger than I am." She pouts at me, I lean into kiss her. "Hmmph." She turns her head and I kiss her on the cheek.

End Flashback


It's a good thing that I run as fast as The Flash although with the heavy downpour even my usual lightning speed running is being slowed down because of it. I wish the rain would let up some, but that's very unlikely. I think that I'm going in the right direction of the hotel but the rain is like a blanket and the visibility is next to none.

I'm living for the only thing I know

I'm running and not quite sure where to go

And I don't know what I'm diving into

Just hanging by a moment here with you

After what feels like eternity I finally reach the revolving doors leading into the hotel. I'm stuck in the revolving doors going painfully and almost excruciatingly slow. As I run out of breath up to the front desk I can hear the squeaking of my shoes across the nice hotel floor.

"Can you tell me what room Miss Ally Dawson is in please?" I'm in pretty good shape, but running in a tux in the pouring rain has me out of breath.

The woman in the check-in area is typing ferociously on the computer and has yet to look up, but she obviously heard his question. "I'm sorry sir we can't give-"

When her mind registers my voice that's when she looks up. "Austin Moon?! I heard that you were supposed to be getting married today. Wait, aren't you supposed to be getting married today?"

"Would you please keep your voice down? Yes, I am who you think I am. I'm on a mission and I'd rather not get mobbed."

I don't say anything else, just give her the sad puppy eyes hoping that my charm will get her to tell me. She's eyeing me up that's for sure, but since she knows that I am at her hotel looking for Ally..I'm going to have to hope and pray that she's a hopeless romantic and she'll cave and help me out.

Please, Please, Please.

"I could get in a lot of trouble for this. Mainly, because Ally's famous and we're supposed to respect their privacy." She writes something on a piece of paper, slips it across the counter, pushes it towards my hands.

I read the hotel hostesses handwriting and it says, She's in room 504.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Good luck, Austin. I hope that Ally takes you back."

I run away from the front desk and start looking around at my options to get to Ally's floor.

Elevator?

Stairs?

I search frantically for the staircase and see that it's not too far away. I run up the five flights of stairs because I need to get to Ally, but also because the likelihood that anyone takes the stairs nowadays is slim to none. I couldn't wait for the elevator either, also taking the stairs I don't have to worry about being bombarded by fans or the paparazzi.

I finally reach the fifth floor after climbing about a hundred stairs to reach it. I swing the door open leading into the hallway of the fifth floor and away from the stairs, want to stop and catch my breath, but I can't I have to find her. I see numbers on the wall, and an arrow that points to the right indicating that rooms 501-506 are in fact towards the right, that is the right direction.

I let my feet carry me the rest of the way and I finally reach her door and knock. Okay, not knock, more like bang on the door.

Now or Never.


A/N: Yes, it's short but how badly do you want the next chapter? ;-)

This is to hold you guys over until I have the time to type the next one out! I'm insanely tired!

Also, who else cried while reading the lyrics in the chapter and listening to the song?! Just me, that's totally cool!

You know the drill darlings review it up and let's reach our goal of 50! LOVE YOU! XoXO
