I Think About You
Chapter 7
Ally's P.O.V.
"Hey Ally" Dallas says, a huge smile on his face as I walk up to him. He's sat in a corner couch at Starbucks, slowly sipping a coffee.
"Hi" I say nervously, sitting down on the couch opposite him. I'm still trying to convince myself that this is actually a good idea.
"So, how have you been?" he asks, trying to break the awkward silence that had fallen between us.
"I've been good. Working at the store, working on new songs for Austin" I say, Dallas cringes as soon as I mention his name. "You?"
"Yeah, I've been good. Working at the cellphone accessory cart hasn't been to interesting" he sighs, the silence falling once again between us. We sit there for a few minutes, never really looking at each other. Everything was so awkward between us now. I remember when I used to be so comfortable around him.
"Dallas. Why did you ask me to meet you here?" I say. I didn't want to be here if it was wasting my time. Could we really fix the relationship that we had. I don't even know if I want to.
"Ally. I missed you so much. Over the time we've been apart, I've never felt so empty. I know that you said you thought I wasn't the right guy for you, but if you give me time. I know I can prove that I am the guy for you."
"Dallas, I don't know…" I sigh. He stands up from the couch and walks over to my side. Sitting down next to me, his hands grab mine.
"Ally. You're the first girl that has ever made my heart race. I'm willing to go as slow as you want with this relationship. As long as I have you back. I…" he says, one hand grabbing mine tighter. His eyes staring intensely into mine. His other hand goes to my cheek, gently stroking it with his thumb. He starts to lean forward until his forehead touches mine. "I love you" he whispers, staring into my eyes, waiting for my response.
Austin's P.O.V.
I walk through the mall on my own. Trish and Dez we're back at the store, Ally was at a stupid date with Dallas. Last night with Kira was awful. I hated every single moment of it. I sat through a movie and dinner, wishing Kira was someone else. Wishing she was Ally.
I walk through the food court. I knew Ally was somewhere here with Dallas. I wasn't spying on them, but I just got to curious. I wanted to know if things were going well between them. If it was going well, I knew it was bad news for me. I had to be so stupid. If I had just told Ally, told her that I want her to be more then my song writer, told her that she is all that I can think about. Told her I love her. Then I wouldn't be in the stupid mess.
My hands in my jeans pockets, my head down, I walk past all the restaurants. Quickly looking into each one in case she was there. Melody Diner… no. Minis… nope. Scoops… not there. Starbucks… there she is. Both of them. Sat on the same couch, Dallas' hands holding Ally's. I see his lips moving, saying something to her as his face gets closer and closer to hers. There's only a couple of centimetres between them. A surge of anger rushes through me. I cant watch this. I cant see this happen. I quickly run away, running straight to Sonic Boom. I clench my teeth together, trying hard not to scream. I cant believe this. I've completely messed everything up. This is all my fault.
"Austin. Are you ok?" Trish says, her and Dez walking up to me. There hands connected. How come that they can be happy, find someone who they love, and things are so simple. Why does it have to be hard for me?!
"No" I shout.
"What happened?" Dez asks.
"ME! I HAPPENED! I WRECKED EVERYTHING! NO, I WASN'T SINGING ABOUT YOU ALLY! I WAS SINGING ABOUT KIRA! WHAT KIND OF IDIOT AM I?! NOW SHE'S BACK TOGETHER WITH THAT JERK DALLAS!"
"Austin, calm down" Trish shouts, but I can see it in her eyes, that I'm scaring her.
"NO! I CANT CALM DOWN! THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!" I shout, tears start running down my cheeks. Why did I have to mess everything up?
"Its not your fault man" Dez says, trying to calm me down, but its not working. I just get more and more angry with myself. I grab the guitar off the wall and smash it to the ground. The whole guitar breaks into pieces.
"AUSTIN!" Trish shouts, looking at me shocked. "What are you doing? Stop it!" she shouts as I'm about to grab another guitar. My breathing is fast and heavy as I shove past them both and rush up to the practice room. I leap onto the couch, screaming into a pillow. Tears running down my cheeks.
Ally's P.O.V.
As Dallas' face gets closer to mine, my mind snaps into action. Remember why you broke up with this guy. He's not the right guy for you. Your not meant to be together. Remember what Trish said. The perfect guy could be right in front of me. And I think he has been. What if Austin is that perfect guy? If he is, then I cant take a chance on Dallas.
I quickly pull away from Dallas, just before his lips reach mine.
"I'm sorry Dallas" I say shaking my head. "I cant date you again. I still mean what I said. Your not the right guy for me" I say, standing up from my seat and grabbing my purse. "I'm sorry" I repeat before rushing out of Starbucks. What am I going to do? I like Austin. But… but we're best friends. We're music partners. And, what if he doesn't like me back. All of this rushes through my mind as I walk back to Sonic Boom. Even though I'm so confused about everything, I cant help but smile as I walk into the store.
"Hey guys" I smile at Trish and Dez, but they don't smile back. They look very serious, that's when I notice something broken on the floor. I take a step closer and notice it's a guitar. "Wh…what happened?" I stutter, very confused to what's going on?
"N…nothing. It was an accident, some kid dropped it" Dez stutters, but I can tell he's lying.
"No. the guitar couldn't just break like that because a kid dropped it. Its been smashed, on purpose. Just tell me who broke it."
"It was Austin" Trish sighs, looking down at the ground.
"Austin? Why? Why would he break the guitar?"
"It's a really long story"
"Is he still here?"
"Yeah. He's in the practice room"
"I'm going to go see if he's ok"
"Ally! I really don't think that's a good idea" Trish says, trying to stop me, but I carry on walking up the stairs.
"Austin?" I ask as I close the door to the practice room behind me. I see him lying on the couch, his face buried in a pillow. He lifts his head up when he hears my voice. His face red, tears rolling down his cheeks. "What's wrong?"
"You have a good date with Dallas" he says. Cringing as he says Dallas' name.
"No"
"Don't lie to me Ally" he scoffs. Why is he acting like this?
"I'm not lying to you. I didn't have a good time. I left as soon as I could"
"Rubbish!" he shouts, making me jump. I take a step back from him as he stands up from the couch. "All rubbish!"
"A…Austin. Your scaring me" I say, I've never seen him act like this before.
"Why him?" he sighs, running a hand through his hair. I think he's calming down.
"What do you mean?"
"Why did you give your first kiss to him?"
"What? I didn't kiss him"
"I saw you Ally! His hand stroking your cheek, leaning in closer and closer"
"What were you even doing there?"
"I was just walking through. I left after he started leaning in"
"Well you didn't stay long enough to see me stop him, before he kissed me. I left because I didn't want to give my first kiss to him. And why does this even matter to you so much?!"
"You know what. It doesn't. I'm sorry" he says before storming out of the practice room.
Hey guys! I hope you like the chapter! I promise to update soon! I don't own Austin and Ally and I don't own Starbucks!
