So I got some ideas from a lot of you, and I thank you for that! Keep 'em coming! Thanks so much to everyone for being so supportive and please keep reviewing and reading because that's what keeps me writing.

Here's Chapter 16...I do not own :/

Ally POV:

What just happened? Why is he acting like this? I mean, I know he still loves me but there was an edge in his voice when he said it.

I decide to push it aside and walk over to the mirror in the practice room, checking my face for spilling mascara.

No tear streaks. Thank god for waterproof mascara.

I open the door slowly to make sure Austin's no longer there. Not really in the mood for more serious talk.

"Ally?"

I whip around and find Dez looking at me weirdly. "Ally, are you okay? You've got some black stuff on your cheek..."

Crap. "Um, yeah. I'm fine. No worries." As I brushed the spot of mascara off my face, that I had SOMEHOW missed, I could already tell Dez knew I was lying.

"Oh, come on. I know you better than anyone. What's goin-"

"WAIT. What's THAT on YOUR cheek?" I suddenly notice a huge smudge of red lipstick on his face.

His eyes grew wide as he turned around quickly, in a very Dez-like way, and brought his shirt up to his cheek. "UM. NOTHING. I'M FINE. NO WORRIES."

I started to laugh hysterically, knowing that Trish was hiding in the cleaning closet just inches away from us. "Trish, get your as-butt out here." God, this no cursing thing is hard.

The door crept open and the little figure popped out, obviously embarrassed. "Ally! Babe, whaddup?"

Her hair was tossled everywhere, like Dez's. And she was pulling up her pants. I rolled my eyes, "Really guys? During work hours, come ON."

Trish then stomped her foot, and put her hand on her hip. "Oh, okay. Hypocrite, maybe we should go home and do it there instead!"

"...touche, my friend." The girl knows how to give a comeback, that's for sure.

Dez looked at me, confused. "What's she talking about?"

I suddenly panicked, "Nothing, nothing. It has to do with me being upset a few minutes ago...that's all." The sudden emotion of sadness spread over me once more.

"See, I told you I know you better than anyone," he answered.

I heard Trish gasp, "Excuse me? I'm her best friend!"

"SHH." Dez snapped at her, lovingly of course. I all of a sudden felt Dez's arms around me, "Alls, what's wrong?"

I sniffed as the tears flowed once more, "I'm losing him..."

Austin POV:

I bang my head on my car seat once more, as I think about what has happened today.

Just a little over an hour ago, I was at my house with my perfect girlfriend spending a perfect day with her. Then everything just turned to complete shit because I opened my mouth. Why'd I have to bring up the marriage thing? Maybe Ally was right: was I thinking too far ahead?

I looked up just in time to see Phil walking to his car with loads upon loads of electrical equipment. What the hell?

The man could shop. Could I trust this guy with my career? My life? I don't know: he's nice, but sketchy. He stares at my girlfriend, and gets random boners. But he's also agent/manager of over 100 singers. It's like an automatic career RIGHT in front of me.

As I drove home, I picture my life in the future with and/or without Ally.

(FUTURE) WITH ALLY:

"Hi, pumpkin!" I see my daughter run towards me with arms wide, just learning how to walk. I set my briefcase down and pick her up with a quick peck on the cheek. "How was your day?"

She nodded enthusiastically like it was the best day of her life. I laugh, "Where's Mommy?"

She points to the kitchen right as Ally walks out, looking rough since taking care of the baby. "Hey, Aus. How was your day?" She yawns, and still looks beautiful.

I smile and set down my daughter, "Fine. I just wish I would have been here with you." I say as I walk over to her, arms wide; ready for have my wife in them.

She smiles and half-runs toward me. She puts her lips on mine- so amazing. Still gets me every time.

We continue kissing until my daughter starts crying. Ally pulls away from me, "Emmy, what's wrong?"

We look over and find my daughter standing on the couch, arms wide. She always does then whenever I come home from work. I pick her up and keep her in my arms until dinner is over and she's asleep.

Ally and I tuck her into her bed, and just watch her beautiful chest move up and down with her breathing. "She's perfect," Ally whispers.

I look down at her and put my arm around her waist, "You both are," I whisper back. "My girls."

I lean down and kiss Emmy's cheek lightly, sure not to wake her up.

As Ally shuts the door behind us, I scoop her up over my shoulder and carry her straight to our bedroom. "Austin Moon! Put. Me. Down." She whisper-yells.

"No way, Mrs. Moon. We have some business to attend to." I set her down in front of the door, "After you, Mrs. Moon..." I lean down in a Shakespeare-like-manner.

This makes her laugh, "Thank you, kind sir."

I shut the door behind me, thanking god for the great life Ally and I have built together...

PRESENT:

I hear honks behind me, as I've forgotten I'm driving and the light is green.

Shit, that was the perfect life. But I wonder what kind of job I will have? I guess I'll find out because I would rather have Ally in my life than music any day.

I floor on the gas pedal, finally realizing what I want in life: Ally Dawson.

Ally POV:

I lay down on my bed still going over the day in my mind. Such a roller coaster! Were relationships suppose to be like this?

My phone starts buzzing, "Hello?" I answer.
"Come outside," Austin's voice says.

"Austin, please go home. I'm not in the mood. And I'm not a booty call." I don't know where the sudden burst of anger comes from, but as I'm about to hang up I hear him yelling on the line.

"No, Ally. Please don't hang up. Please come outside."

I sigh, giving in to his sweet voice. "Give me five minutes." I hang up and head downstairs, careful not to wake Dad.

As soon as I walk onto the front porch, Austin is sitting right there on the edge, naturally cool as always. I can't help but run to him, on tip-toes, and put my arms around his neck. I hear a soft moan escape my throat, "I'm sorry about today."

"Mhmm," he answers.

I look up at him and find him smiling, "'Booty call'?" He then starts to laugh quietly. "You're my girlfriend. Not my booty call, Ally." He quickly pecks me on my nose, which turns into a long, passionate kiss.

I have to interrupt or this conversation is going to go nowhere. I pull away, putting my hands on his chest. "Okay, loverboy. Why'd you call me down here? Everything okay?"

He seems to be hiding something, and I can already tell what it is. I guess we have to talk about it at some point. "Is this about Phil Steelback?" I ask.

He nods slowly, looking a little distracted. "Ally...I-"

"You better have chosen the career, Austin."

He snaps his head up and me, questionably. "Wait, what?"

I take a deep breathe, and let it all out. "Today, I was upset about you kicking me out of your damn car. YES I SAID DAMN. I curse." He smiles before I continue, "Anyway, I was being really selfish about being upset about that whole thing. From the beginning, this partnership has been about your career. It developed into something amazing- our relationship- and I've fallen in love with you. But my little outburst today was completely inappropriate to do in front of a man offering you a future, Austin. And I'm the one that should be sorry. I truly am. And I would be a terrible person, friend, and girlfriend to say you need to choose me over your career. Your passion is music, and you should stick with that. I'm so much in love with you, that I would rather see you happy than anything else in the world, Austin."

I look into his eyes and find nothing but shock. Yeah, Mr. Moon, betcha didn't expect that!

Suddenly, he grabs me by my waist and pulls me towards him with full passion. His lips and tongue finds mine and we stay intertwined for...well, I'm not sure how long but we end up sitting on my porch swing full on make-out mode. I want him more than anything right now, but it's late and my Dad's inside, as always. We don't want to rupture that disk again...

I feel him slowly rubbing my back and it turns me on even more. He continues kissing my neck and I let out a loud moan.

Then I remember we're outside, "Austin! Austin, stop!" I whisper and jump up. "We're in public!"

He laughs quietly, "Baby, everyone's asleep."

"That doesn't mean we need to make love on my front porch!" I continue whisper-shouting.

He then stands and looks around before smiling, "There's always the bushes."

I smack him on the arm loudly before answering, "Austin Moon, you came here to talk. Now, let's talk."

He laughs before sitting down on the porch swing again. I follow him but this time sit on his lap.

I'm about to bring up the subject again, but I look down and find him with his thinking face-on. I let him sit there for a few minutes to process.

He finally begins, "Today, while I was driving home, I picture us in the future. Don't get all weird about it! It was just a thought," I smile letting him know I get it, so he continues, "We were happy...married, of course...and everything was perfect. Ally, I love music with all my heart. But I love you so much more. You are perfect for me. More perfect than music. I don't know what I'd do without you..."

He trails off. I know we're both thinking about the same thing: our lives without each other.

I put both of my hands on his face and look straight in his eyes, "Austin. You need to build your career."

His eyebrows pull together, confused once again. "Ally-"

"You've told me the whole time we've known each other how much you love music. How much it makes your life complete in every way. Let's think about this though, Aus. Without music, you wouldn't have even become close to me. We probably wouldn't be sitting on his swing talking right now. You would have just been the weird kid that pulled up in a blue car asking for directions to an easy class to find."

He laughs, remembering the day we first met, I'm sure. I continue: "Lets make a deal." I stand up and hold out my hand, asking him to shake. "You need to build your career now, and you and me will build a family later."

We both laugh too loudly, as he stands up- towering over me- and hugs me instead of shaking my hand. I put my arms around his waist and smell that Austin Moon smell that always brings me back to center.

I feel him put his hands on my cheeks as he pulls my head up to look at him. "Ya know, you're one smart person. I don't deserve you." He leans down and kisses me.

As we pull away I realize what I've just said: "So, when are you gonna call Steelback?"

He sighs, "In the morning, I guess. We've got a long road ahead of us if I'm going to build this career, Ally. We won't see each other for a long long time." We stand there for a few moments, processing this idea.

I nod, "Yeah, it'll be hard. But I guarantee we'll make it through. And as corny as is sounds, even if it doesn't work...I'm sure we'll find some way to find each other again."

The most beautiful smile I've ever witnessed crosses his face and I notice his eyes watering. Which makes mine water, of course.

"I love you so much, Austin." I cry.

"I love you too, Ally. Don't ever ever forget that." He pulls me in his arms as I silently cry into his chest.

Austin's right, we've got a lot of puzzles to put together and long road ahead of us. But I truly think we'll make it through together.

Alright, guys. There's chapter 16! Of course Austin and Ally didn't break up over that little argument, are y'all crazy? I will warn you though: There will be more arguments a little later with the plans I've got. But don't worry, everything works out for the best.

...I bet I'm making you angry? Haha, don't get mad. It's all gonna work out.

Stay tuned and find out what happens with Austin and Ally next.
