Here is chapter 7. Just to clarify, if the lyrics are in italics, that means it's Ally who is singing. If it's in bold, then it's Austin. If it's both, obviously, they're both singing.

I woke up, feeling sleepy and light headed. Shooting would resume tomorrow since Mrs. Morris thought that we should have a rest from the long shooting yesterday. I sighed and put myself under the shower to wash away the traces of sleep. After a shower and a change of clothes, I went down to the kitchen to get breakfast. There was a Post-it on the fridge from my dad. It said that he was gone again for another day at the office. I sighed. I opened the fridge and grabbed last night's dinner. I put it in a safe container and stuck into the microwave. The house was locked up, save for the open and burglar-proofed window. I sighed and got to the speakers. It was Saturday today. I popped in a CD and played it. It continued playing until I finished my breakfast. I took it out and got my guitar.

You said it in a simple way,

4 AM, the second day,

How strange that I don't know you at all.

Stumbled through the long goodbye,

One last kiss, then catch your flight,

Right when I was just about to fall

I told myself don't get attached,

But in my mind I play it back,

Spinning faster than the plane that took you...

And this is when the feeling sinks in,

I don't wanna miss you like this,

Come back... be here,

Come back... be here.

I guess you're in New York today,

I don't wanna need you this way,

Come back... be here,

Come back... be here.

Someone knocked on the window. I looked up and caught sight of Austin Moon. I jumped. He smiled and waved at me. I waved back. He produced a piece of paper.

Can I come in? It read. I nodded and went to the door and unlocked it. What on earth was he doing here? He came inside.

"Not to be rude or anything but why are you here?" I asked. Austin smiled and shrugged.

"I didn't have anyone to talk to," he said. I shook my head.

"So what happened to your girlfriend, Brandi?" I asked. He shrugged.

"She's not the best company," he stated as he sat down on the sofa.

"And I am?" I asked. He studied me for a moment.

"Yes, you are," he said. I looked at him.

"Alright," I said. I eyed him, recalling when he read my diary. We looked at each other for a few minutes.

"I'm sorry," he said. I felt like someone threw a rock at me.

"What?" I said.

"I said I'm sorry for reading your diary," he said. I felt a flicker of rage in me, but that was easily squished.

"Um, that's okay," I said. How could I have forgiven him so easily?

"You have a nice voice," he said.

"Thanks," I said, the words came out instinctively. My brain was hardwired to be polite since I was a kid, although I try my best to change it. Austin and I stared at each other before a phone rang. Austin took out his phone.

"Hello?" he said. He waited for five seconds before he hung up the phone. I was about to ask who it was when he shook his head.

"It's nobody," he said. I gave him a weird look, but I decided it was better not to question it. We really didn't know how to talk to each other so i decided to fill in the conversation with music. I strummed a few guitar chords.

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin' for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey can't stop looking at the door

Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

We both smiled at each other.

"You have a nice voice, Austin," I said, softly.

"Likewise," he said. And for the first time, Austin Moon makes me smile a genuine smile towards him for the first time. But the knock on the door changes that. Because when I opened the door, Hell seemed like a better option than now.

So, who do you think this person is? Tune in next week Monday to find out! Please tell me what you thought! The Balcony Scene Part 2 will be up on the next update.
