Austin's pov

Ally and I were driving to my house to work on our project when all of the sudden she gets a call. I see her freeze and not dare answer it. "Aren't you going to answer it. You look scared to death." I said laughing but then stopped when I saw how serious this situation probably was. "Ally why are you so afraid of this person."

"I can't say but I don't want you pity ok," I saw how she wasn't ready to talk about it so I just dropped the subject. When we got to my house I got out of the car. I saw Ally just sit there. I opened her door and helped her out. I don't know why I'm being so nice to her all of the sudden. I never really knew her before I started bullying her, she was just an easy target. Now she just seems so fragile especially with all these things I'm finding out. I can tell she has a lot going on in her life. That me and the bullies probably don't even compare to.

"Ready to start working on the assignment?" I asked. She nodded, "Have any ideas for a song?" I asked again.

"Well I kinda already have one we could do but you have to sing it." She looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Fine but you have to sing it to me so I know how it goes."

"Do I have to?" She asked I could tell she was nervous. "Fine but don't laugh ok." I nodded in agreement

I can hold my breath

I can bite my tongue

I can stay awake for days

If that's what you want

Be your number one

I can fake a smile

I can force a laugh

I can dance and play the part

If that's what you ask

Give you all I am

I can do it

I can do it

I can do it

Wow ally is amazing I had no idea she could sing like that

But I'm only human And I bleed when I fall down

I'm only human And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart I'm only human, yeah

"I know it's no good..." She said. I was still in disbelief of how amazing she was.

"Are you kidding that was amazing but I only have one thing to say."

"What?"

"Can I hear another song?" She was in disbelief but blushed. That made me smile.

You are not your makeup,
Not your clothes,
An anonymous face.
No one knows,
You're not a skin color,
A pretty face,
The number of inches around your waist.
There's so much in your head
That nobody knows,
So many things you never show.

You're more than labels,
More than pain,
Baby you're more than your mistakes.
And you got something, to say.
Ohhhhhhh woahhhhhh

When will you realize, baby you're worth it,
Don't have to do anything to earn it.
Baby you're perfect,
You deserve it,
When will you see what I see,
And realize you're worth it.

You are not a burden,
Not a waste,
You're not a copy,
Can't be replaced.
You're not your pain,
Not your past,
Scars will never hold you back.
There's so much you've been through that nobody knows,
So many things you never show.

You're more than labels,
More than pain,
Baby you're more than your mistakes.
And you got something, to say.
Ohhhhhhh woahhhhhh

When will you realize, baby you're worth it,
Don't have to do anything to earn it.
Baby you're perfect,
You deserve it,
When will you see what I see,
And realize you're worth it.

You're worth it, baby you're worth it. x7

You're worth it.

You're more than labels,
More than pain,
Baby you're more than your mistakes.
And you got something, to say.
Ohhhhhhh woahhhhhh

When will you realize, baby you're worth it,
Don't have to do anything to earn it.
Baby you're perfect,
You deserve it,
When will you see what I see,
And realize you're worth it.

You're worth it, baby you're worth it. x2

"I don't think you realize that you guys are just one more thing I have to worry about. And that it does get to me, it just makes it worse. And now with Trish..." I see her chock back tears. I give her a hug and leave my arm around her. Brushing my hand on her shoulder "That's the last straw."

"You have to sing that in front of the class, that will show those bullies that they can't mess with you." I said and winked

"Look Ally I know seeing Trish like this is really hurting you. Is that who called you?" I asked I know I shouldn't bring it up but it scares me she's that afraid of someone.

No but I don't really want to talk about it ok?" I nodded, she looked really thankful but still sad.

"You have to sing that in front of the class, that will show those bullies that they can't mess with you." I said and winked

"Did it show you?" She asked I could tell she needed to know the answer but I didn't know what to say. I know if I say nothing it will look ever worse though.

"Look Ally I never wanted to hurt you I-I just didn't realize that it affected you so much. I thought you didn't care about what we did. Yeah it did show me, showed me your an amazing singer, songwriter and person. I mean you singing in front of me must have taken a lot with your stage fright." I saw her blush which made me want to keep going to make her feel better. "Your nice, smart, talented, beautiful, strong..."

"You think I'm beautiful?" She asked shyly and. Blushing madly I may add. I know I was too when she said that.

"Yeah why do you think Cassidy and Kira pick on you?"

"Because they think it will impress you and Trent."

"No because your a threat. If they didn't bully you everyone would want to be friends with you. No one gets the chance to really know you for you and it's a shame. I'm sorry I didn't realize it earlier." I replied, it felt good making her feel better.

"Shall we start the song?" She asked I laughed

"Shall we."

"Yes deal with it!"

"Ok I think we should write it about what your fighting for and since you won't tell me well we don't have to write it directly. Like what are you fighting for but idk like...

"Do you know what's worth fighting for." She finished my sentence

"Exactly what I was think!"

"What could rhyme or sound good with that?"

"When it's not worth dying for."

"Hey I'm not going to die!" She said and threw a pillow at my face. That's it, I jumped on her and started to tickle her when the bottom of her shirt came up a little. I saw a giant purple bruise.

"Ally who did this to you?" I may bully her but not physically that's just cruel.

"Oh that that's nothing don't worry about it."

"Ally your an awful liar."

"please don't make me talk about it. I will when I'm ready." I could see the pain even when she just talked about it.

"Let's continue with the song."


Ally's pov

"Sing what we have so far."

Do you know what's worth fighting for?
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?

Wow his voice is amazing I've never heard anything like it

Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I

When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul

Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I

"You were amazing that song is really coming along. And as much as I hate to admit I like the story behind it even if I was a little tentative to the idea." The only reason I didn't want to do the idea is because I don't want him finding out about my dad. I don't fully trust him yet. He could tell the whole school and make my life even worse. Sure he's being nice and all and I really do need someone to talk about this with but he needs to show me I can trust him.

"It's getting late do you want a ride home?" Crap what if he finds out about my dad. He can just drop me off right. It's not like he's going to want to walk me to the door anyway. Who knows maybe dad won't be home. I looked at my phone for the time and see that I hav missed calls from my dad and texts...

Ally sweetie are you going to be home early tonight

Ally get your f***in but home now

Listen you whore get your a** home now don't make me say it again

Don't you bother coming home tonight!

I feel the tears coming but I hold them back and pack up my stuff. "Are you ready? Hey what happened?" Austin asked

"I just got a paper cut from my book that's all. Yep let's get going." The car ride was dead silent. I was so worried about going home to my dad that I couldn't even talk. Hopefully he'll be out. Austin turned up the radio and it started playing one of my favourite songs what a girl is by dove Cameron I turned it up

On a scale from 1-10, I am perfect like I am.
I don't need your number, we don't need your number.
And the stupid magazines, want me to change my everything.
It don't even matter, they're not taking my power.
I'm so over all of these voices around, they've said enough its my turn lets get loud.

I'll show you what a girl is, cause all of me is perfect.
Who cares about the dress size, its all about whats inside.
I'll stand up now, and wont back down.
Were breaking through the surface, to show you what a girl is.

I'm feeling flawless in my skin, your words don't mean anything.
I'm done wasting my time, I can make up my own mind.
I'm so over all of these voices around, they've said enough its my turn lets get loud.

I'll show you what a girl is, cause all of me is perfect.
Who cares about the dress size, its all about whats inside.
I'll stand up now, and wont back down.
Were breaking through the surface, to show you what a girl is.

You are exactly what your made to be, I swear.
Don't be afraid just to put yourself out there.

Its pretty clear that you wont see us on the sidelines.
Were gonna take it over standing like a high-rise.
And if you ever doubt what a girl can do, sit back and let us show you, its been really nice to know you.
No doubt, were a force that's undeniable.
Get together we'll work this house to bring it down on you.
I've got a feeling that were gonna be there for you.
Sit back and let us show you cause the girls are taking over.

On a scale from 1-10, I am perfect like I am.
I don't need your number, we don't need your number.

Wow Ally is such an amazing singer. When the song was over I pulled up to her house. "We're here!" I said enthusiasticly.

"Well bye," Ally tried to say but I wouldn't let her.

"You don't think I'm not going to walk you to the door?" I asked confused on why she wouldn't think that. We both walked to the door and she nocked. Three seconds later.

"Looks like no ones home I better go around back."

"Ally no one could make it to the door that fast. What's up with you, is this about what your hidding?..." Before I could get the chance to finish her dad comes out.

"Allyson Marie Dawson where the HELL have you been? You think you can just nock and everything will be alright well..." And Ally's dad slapped her in the face. "What are you looking at young man get out of here. NOW!" I look at Ally and she nods to let me know to go. I sprint back to my car and go straight home. Now I know why Ally didn't wat m to walk her to the door. And that explains who called her. Wait does this mean this wasn't just a one time thing? God I hope I'm wrong.

Well there's the chapter I just wanted t say I appreciate all the feedback and everything. Those are a few of the songs I picked as well. If your songs didn't get picked now that doesn't mean that I won't later. Thanks I love all of you please continue reading and enjoying the story. Bye! :)
