Austin's pov
After everyone hit Ally she wasn't moving. "Hey Dorkson get up!" I yell at her but she still didn't move. "Freak stop trying to get attention!" I spat as I walked over. Then I saw her and she blacked out "Ally," I whispered in a small voice. "Are you ok Ally talk to me." She still didn't move now I was really scared. Meanwhile the coach came over to check on her. By now everyone else had lost interest and we're all talking.
"Austin go take her to the nurse right now," he said, "and next time think about your actions before you do them. You know I can bench you for a couple of games." He warned. I nodded and took Ally to the nurse. I walked carefully down the hallway trying not to hurt her.
When we got to the nurses office no one was inside. I laid Ally down on the bed and kissed her forehead. "Ally I'm so sorry this had to happen." I told her. I turned around to see the nurse with a smile.
"Aren't you just the cutest boyfriend taking care of her like that." She said
"I'm not her nevermind can you help her she blacked out."
"We're just going to have to wait and see how she feels when she wakes up." I nodded, "I'm just going to be in my office come and get me when she wakes up." After she left I started pacing. What if she's really hurt the I'm no better than her father. How could I let popularity make me do this to someone. I never wanted to hurt her it was just supposed to be a joke.
After I finally sat down I grabbed Ally's hand, "Please Ally forgive me I'm sorry that I had to do that can you forgive me?" I knew there wouldn't be an answer she was awake yet. Suddenly I feel her hand intertwine with mine. My mout starts to form a small smile.
"Austy, are you still in the nurses office?" As I hear Cassidy's voice my smile vanishes and I let go of Ally's hand. I see her small smile disappeared slowly which makes me blush wait what did Ally the freak Dorkson make me blush. Austin get you head straight. "Hey Austy, is she awake?" I shook my head. "Do you think we have a little time before she does?"
"Look Cassidy let's not do this now. I actually hurt her and you sound like you want to celebrate."
"Bitch deserves what Bitch got."
"What did she ever do to you?"
"Well it seems like she stealing you and brainwashing you. But to be serious she doesn't not deserve it. Just ask Trish, Ally isn't as innocent as you think."
"Oh you mean that photo that was taken out of context?"
"Austin be careful what you say I can destroy you and that little bitch if you not careful."
"Look Cass lets just hook up later ok?"
"Whatever," she replied rolling her eyes at me and gave me a kiss goodbye. "You better make up for it later." She whispered in my ear. When she left I reached to take ally's hand again but she suddenly woke up.
"Austin please don't hurt me." She whispered I could tell how scared she was.
"Ally I never meant to take it that far." I could see the tears starting to fall.
"Your just as bad as my dad." Ouch that really hurt.
"If that's what you think of me. Would your dad have waited with you to see if you were okay. School is already over I could have just left you hear. Maybe I will." And with that I stormed out.

"If that's what you think of me. Would your dad have waited with you to see if you were okay. School is already over I could have just left you hear. Maybe I will." He yelled and stormed out. Immediately I broke into tears and I couldn't stop.
"Oh good your awake. What happened to that boyfriend of yours?" The nurse asked
"He's not my boyfriend."
"Really because he didn't deny it and he was holding your hand earlier when I came to see if you woke up." Austin was holding my hand but what about all the stuff he did. He probably only said he was my boyfriend so he could hurt me more some how. "Anyway I'm just going to run some tests and your free to go."
When she finished all of the test I walked past the gym to see Austin practicing his shot. I watched for a bit. He's really good at basketball. There was no one else in there so I walked in. I really need to talk to him. "It's not that I'm scared of you its just I don't understand why you were trying to hurt me today. It seemed like you kinda cared last night but I guess I was wrong." That felt good and I turned around and walked away.
"I do," he said in a small voice.
"What?" I said in disbelief.
"Ally I do care but you and I both the pops wouldn't like that. Everything today was their idea. I don't like to see you hurt but what was I supposed to do?"
"If you really cared you would have stuck up for me. You wouldn't care what they think. Why does that matter?"
"And make me Austin the freak no thanks." I feel water build up in my eyes. "Ally I didn't mean that their my friends and some are my teammates. I also have a reputation to protect too."
"And that's more important than being a nice guy I see." I started to walk away.
"Thats not how that was supposed to come out wait ally."
"I think it came out exactly how it was meant to. You know your reason isn't a good one and your ashamed. But I know you won't change because this is who you are. When this project is done do me a favour don't ever talk to me again."
When I got home I ran upstairs and had a full out meltdown. I thought he actually cared. Looks like I got my day of pity Ann now I'm back to being ally the freak Dorkson. I sat down at my keyboard and started singing. Writing songs always helps me thru my problems.
Nobody's perfect I'll never try,
But I promise I'm worth it if you just open up your eyes,
I don't need a second chance,
I need a friend,
Someone who's gon' stand by me right there till the end,
If you want the best of my heart, you've just gotta see the good in me.
Cause I could be the rain in your desert sky,
I could be the fire in your darkest night,
I could be your curse or your angel,
It's all in how you love me.
I could be your sun when it's cold outside,
I could be your rock when there's nowhere to hide,
I could be your curse or your angel,
It's all in how you love me.
It's How You Love Me.
You get what you give, that's the simple truth.
So, just lend me your hand and I'll give you someone to hold onto.
I don't need a second chance,
I need a friend,
Someone who's gon' stand by me right there till the end,
If you want the best of my heart, you've just gotta see the good in me.
Cause I could be the rain in your desert sky,
I could be the fire in your darkest night,
I could be your curse or your angel,
It's all in how you love me.
I could be your sun when it's cold outside,
I could be your rock when there's nowhere to hide,
I could be your curse or your angel,
It's all in how you love me.
It's How You Love Me.
As soon as I finished singing I started to cry again. Too bad I didn't have stage fright or I would sign that tomorrow for the project. I would sing something to give him a piece of my mind.

Todah is the big day the first presentation. I got up and decided to leave my hair down. I did a little make up. I slide on my leggings and threw on a grey t shirt with red flannel on top. I laced up my converse and grabbed my bag.
"Who would like to start the presentations?" Mrs Adams asked. After a few groups went it was mine and Austin's turn. Sadly because of the fight we wanted to spend the least amount possible together so I have to play guitar for the presentation. I'm so nervous he could tell and he gave me the classic smirk.
She would not show that she was afraid,
But being and feeling alone was too much to face,
Though everyone said that she was so strong,
What they didn't know is that she could barely carry on,
I wrote this song about my self. It's true sometimes I can barley carry on. I hope mrs Adams appreciates the meaning behind it.
But she knew that she would be okay,
So she didn't let it get in her way,
Sometimes it all gets a little too much,
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up,
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same,
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much,
She would always tell herself she could do this
She would use no help it would be just fine
But when it got hard she would lose her focus
So take my hand and we'll be alright
And she knew that she would be okay,
So she didn't let it get in her way,
Sometimes it all gets a little too much,
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up,
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same,
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much, yeah.
A little too much, I said a little too much, oh.
Sometimes it all gets a little too much,
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up,
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same,
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much yeah!
Sometimes it all gets a little too much,
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up,
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same,
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much.
Once we finished I was so proud. I played guitar in front of the class and didn't mess up. Maybe I could sing. Austin and I moved back to our seats in the back. "You did awesome. Maybe now you would feel comfortable singing and we could do a duet." Austin whispered.
"Yeah maybe." I replied not looking at him.
"Really Ally is this how it's going to be are you ever going to forgive me."
"Why should I forgive you when I know you'll do it again. Forgiving you will just make it worse." He didn't reply but I could tell that it hurt him. Now was my chance to twist the knife. "Before you came along I was doing fine not great but I was doing fine. You came and messed everything up. I'm not going to let you get to me. And please don't give me shitty excuses for your behaviour. Your either sorry and you'll change or not pick one.
For the rest of class we didn't say a word to each other.

In music Ally and I got partnered again great just great. Now we have to write songs specifically duets and preform them. Mrs brown randomly picked us to preform next class. Sadly Ally and I are no where near ready with our duet. "Come over after school and we'll finish it."
"Fine as long as it's as fast as possible." She replied in her annoyed tone.
I drove her over to my house and we started working on the duet. we went up to my room and started to think of ideas for our songs for English and music "What should the song be about? I asked
"I was thinking it could be some sort of love song but with a twist."
"I like that what if it's two people in love who love each other but they aren't telling each other." I told her
"what if we start it like this. Leave me out with the waste this is not what I do this is the wrong kinda of place to be thinking of you." She sang
"I like it you should sing the first verse and chorus." After we finished the first song I started to make dinner. While we were eating neither of us spoke. It was kinda like the song except we just aren't telling each other anything. There's so many things I should be saying but I don't know how it all comes out wrong. Ally wants me to give up popularity to protect her. I mean that's a lot to ask for. I want to protect her I just don't want anyone knowing. I would get kicked out of the group. I can't imagine what Cassidy and Kira will do either. Not just to me but to Ally.
I was cleaning up and I told Ally to start the song. When I finished cleaning everything I walked back up to my room and I heard Ally singing and playing the piano.
Stop the world from spinning around
Feels like the sky is falling down
Can't breathe in, I can't breathe out
I'm afraid that I might drown
Can't stay afloat I'm just
Skipping stone
An echo on the water
I'm letting go
Surrender to the bottom
Another rising tide
Another storm to fight
Come and take me
I'm just a skipping stone
Is this just a wicked game?
Will it wash with the next rain?
Can't give in, I can't give up
I'm trying hard it's not enough
Throw myself to the unknown
Like a skipping stone
An echo on the water
I'm letting go
Surrender to the bottom
Another rising tide
Another storm to fight
Come and take me
I'm just a skipping stone
Forever is a long time
To be walking on a fine line
Chasing out the sunlight
Burning out fake smile
Skipping stone
An echo on the water
Letting go
Surrender to the bottom
Skipping stone
An echo on the water
I'm letting go
Surrender to the bottom
Another rising tide
Another storm to fight
Come and take me
I'm just a skipping stone
Another rising tide
Another storm to fight
Come and take me
I'm just a skipping stone
Another rising tide
Another storm to fight
Come and take me
I'm just a skipping stone
I'm just a skipping stone
I just stood there in disbelief of her talent. Then she started another song.
Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending, like we never had a chance.
Do you have to make me feel like there's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
And go on and try to tear me down
But I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears
I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed
All my windows still are broken but I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
And go on and try to tear me down
But I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Go run run run, I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run run run, yeah, it's a long way down
But I'm closer to the clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
And go on and try to tear me down
But I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
"I know your standing there Austin." She said laughing and turned around.
"Let's get started on the next song." I said awkwardly trying to change the subject.
"ok I got an idea actually while you were cleaning up. Here's how it goes... I was thinking about you thinking about me thinking about us opened my eyes it was only just a dream."
"I like it." I replied. (An: this is the Christina grimmie and Sam tsui version of just a dream. If you haven't heard it I highly recommend it it's amazing) We continued to work on the song and then Ally's phone rang. I could see the fear in her eyes total déjà vu.
"Hello, hi daddy I'll be home soon I'm just working on a project. I won't be too long. Ok bye." Ally said talking to her dad. "Can you take me home I don't want him to be mad."
"Sure can we just finish the song quickly." After we finished the song I drove Ally home. It was really awkward in the card
thats the end. If you want to know the names of songs just ask in review and i'll reply in the next update.
