I Think About You
Chapter 6
Austin's P.O.V.
The day after the interview, I find myself sat in the practice room, alone. I need to think of a way to tell Ally how I feel. But how can I do that? She's my best friend, how can I convince her that we could be more then that? I need to do something amazing. We both love music, I could write her a song. But I know that wont work. I suck at writing songs. I remember the last time I wrote a song. It was for a girl named Cassidy, and I totally embarrassed me and her in front of a crowed of people. I had to get Ally's help to write me a better song, but even then I never got a date with her. She went to LA with her band, she promised that she would go on a date with me when she got back. But I don't want that date. I want Ally.
Ally's P.O.V.
"Hello" says a familiar voice through the phone.
"Hey Kira, it's Ally"
"Oh hey! How are you? I haven't seen you since the video!"
"I'm doing great, I just wanted to ask you something"
"Sure. Go for it"
"Do you like Austin?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, do you like like Austin? More then a friend?"
"I've never really thought about him like that. I mean, when I first saw him I thought he was cute, but when I found out you two liked each other I took a huge step back"
"What do you mean you two liked each other?"
"You and Austin, I thought you liked each other, aren't you dating?"
"No! Me and Austin are just really good friends, that's all"
"Really? You kind of seemed perfect together. But yeah, I do like Austin"
"Great, because he likes you too!"
"Really?" she says, the sound of excitement in her voice.
"Yeah, but he's kind of scared to admit it because your dad signed him to his record label and everything"
"Oh yeah" she sighs.
"But I say go for it. You like him, he really likes you. He was to scared to ask you, but he wants to know if you will go on a date with him, tonight"
"Wow, really?"
"Yeah" I say, biting hard on my lip, resisting the urge to stop all of this and hang up the phone. He doesn't want you Ally. He wants Kira.
"Sure. Tell him I said yes. I'll meet him tonight, say, outside Sonic Boom?"
"Sure. I'll go tell him now"
"Thank you for this Ally. You're a really good friend"
"Any time" I say before the line goes dead. I take a deep breath. You did the right thing Ally. You did it for Austin.
Austin's P.O.V.
I start to strum my guitar. I had been working on the song all morning. It didn't really say how I felt about Ally, but I had done ok for a guy who cant write songs.
"Smoke alarm went off at night
I woke up, wiped the sleep out of my eye
She left a note "I'll be back in 5"
Well, I'm still waiting for that moment to arrive, heyI was told to put my job in front of you
But it won't hold me like you doBut I do it for the love, waiting on the gold rush
Keep it on the edge, smoking on a roll up
When I see my friends, all they say is hold up
And remember the timeWhen we were in school listening to grown ups
Didn't learn a thing, but then again you know what
You know how to sing
But you don't know anything other than that
So maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the wayMaybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
And maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way you want to be loved
I never told her that I liked
They way she dances slightly out of time
And pretends she knows the words
To a song she's never heard
But I tell her all the time, heyI was told to put my job in front of you
But it won't hold me like you doBut I do it for the love, waiting on the gold rush
Keep it on the edge, smoking on a roll up
When I see my friends, all they say is hold up
And remember the timeWhen we were in school listening to grown upsDidn't learn a thing, but then again you know what
You know how to sing
But you don't know anything other than thatSo maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the wayMaybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
And maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way you want to be loved
HeyI do it for the love, waiting on the gold rush
Keep it on the edge, smoking on a roll up
When I see my friends, all they say is hold up

Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the wayMaybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
And maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way you want to be loved"
"Was that about Kira?" asks a voice, making me jump. I turn around to see Ally stood at the door, that same beautiful smile on her face. I cant stop the smile that appears on my face.
"Um, yeah. Yeah it was" I lie. I didn't want her to know I wrote the song about her. I wanted it to be a surprise.
"I love it. See, you can write songs"
"The ones we write together sound better"
"Well, guess what. Because I am your amazing best friend, I got you a date" she smiles. For a second, my heart rushes, stupidly thinking that it would be with Ally. "With Kira"
"You… you did what?"
"I got you a date with Kira. I… I thought you would be happy about it" she says, noticing the shocked and disappointed look on my face.
"I am!" I lie. "I'm just a bit shocked"
"Well, she's meeting you here, tonight"
"Tonight! Wow. Um… thank you Ally" I say, wrapping my arms around her. I hold her close to me, why did I have to lie? Now I'm in a mess with Kira. Its going to be even harder to get Ally now. Why did I have to be so stupid.
That night
I appear at Sonic Boom at 7, wearing some black jeans, white top and red over shirt. Red high tops on my feet. Ally is still stood behind the counter, looking as amazing as she always does. I'm about to go over and talk to her when Trish and Dez drag me over to the corner.
"What is going on?" Trish says, looking at me shocked.
"Yeah. Ally said you have a date with Kira" Dez adds.
"Yeah. I kind of screwed up. When I admitted I had a crush on someone on the Wanda Watson show, Ally asked me who it was backstage. I got to scared. I told her I liked Kira, and now she set us up on a date!"
"You idiot!" Trish says, punching my arm. "Why didn't you just tell her the truth?"
"Because Trish, I don't know if she likes me back. You have no idea how much I want to tell her" I say, looking over my shoulder. Ally is stood talking to a customer, fiddling with her hair. It takes me a second before I realise she is talking to Dallas!
Ally's P.O.V.
When Dallas walked into the store, I was kind of shocked. I didn't think that he would even want to see me again, but he walked straight to the counter and we started talking.
"Hey Ally" he says with a smile.
"Hey"
"How have you been?"
"I've been ok. You?"
"I've been better, but I'm happy to see you again"
"You too" I say with a smile. Dallas looks over to the corner where I see Austin is staring at us both. He looks away as soon as our eyes lock.
"So, are you dating him then?"
"No. I told you Dallas. Me and Austin are just friends. He's going on a date with another girl tonight"
"Really? Look Ally, I came over here to ask you something. Do you maybe want to grab a drink some time. I've missed you a lot"
"You know what. I missed you too" I lie. I had been having a lot of fun without him, but I know that the whole me and Austin thing is some stupid idea in my imagination. We're best friends, that's all we're ever going to be, and that's how it should stay.
"So, see you at the food court tomorrow? Say 1pm?"
"Sure. I'll see you there" I smile as he walks out of the store. Maybe me and Dallas just needed a short break. We could work things out, make our relationship work.
Austin's P.O.V.
As soon as he walks out of the store, I walk over to Ally.
"What did he want?"
"He wanted to ask me out for a drink" she says with a small smile.
"You said no, right?"
"I said yes. If you can take a chance with Kira, I can take a chance with Dallas" she says, her smile growing bigger. WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
"Hey Austin" says a voice, I spin around to see Kira waiting at the door. "You ready to go?"
"Sure" I smile, even though its completely fake.
"Have fun" I hear Ally whisper to me before I walk over to Kira. Our hands link together and we walk out of the store. This is not right, I'm going on a date with completely the wrong girl.
