Chapter 12
Hope you like the chapter guys. I don't own Austin and Ally. Enjoy!
Austin's P.O.V.
"Wh…what?" I stutter, I cant believe what she's asking my to do.
"If you keep seeing this girl, she could ruin your whole career."
"No, Ally's helping me. She's the one who inspired me with No Ordinary Day, and I've just written another song about her" I say, trying to convince her the Ally is actually good for me.
"That's great, but no one will listen to them if she's sticking around. Its either me, your manager, the one who will make you famous, make your dreams come true, or her. The girl you have only just met. I know who I would pick. But its up to you. Talk to you later Austin" she says hanging up the phone.
I cant believe it. I was so happy, now my heart is sinking. Give up my career, or be with Ally, the hardest decision I've ever had to make.
I need to see her.
Ally's P.O.V.
I've been in the store all day, but not many customers had come in. My dad would be away all day for a meeting, so he left me in charge. The store was empty, so I decide to go to my practice room for a while.
I sit on the stood at the piano, my book on the stand. I play a few notes to warm up, then start playing a song I had started a while ago, but never actually finished.
"I'll be your entertainer
I'm putting on a show
I'm gonna levitate you
Leave you wa-wa-wantin' more
I see you're fascinated
I've got ya hypnotized
White gloves, what you dream of
A fantasy before your eyes
Step right up on the stage
Free yourself from the cage
Pick a card and guess it girl
Here's a lesson girl
Its just an illusion
1 2 3... I disappear
I'm comin right back, so stay right her
Ain't no second guessing girl
I'm impressing girl
But I'm just an illusion
Oh, uh, listen
I ain't no fake Houdini
I'll put a spell on you
I'm something like a genie
Girl I make your wish come true
And now our time is running
With every grain of sand
So here's the grand finale
Watch me do my slight of hand
Step right up on the stage
Free you're self from the cage
Pick a card and guess it girl
Here's a lesson girl
Its just an illusion
disappear
I'm coming right back so stay right here
Ain't no second guessing girl
I'm impressing girl
Its just an illusion"
I sigh as I finish playing. I had been trying to finish that song for ages, but I can never get the right ending. Suddenly I hear someone clapping from outside the practice room. Oh god! Someone heard me singing! I cautiously walk up to the door, opening it to see Austin on the other side. He heard me sing! I can feel my face go red already.
"That was awesome Ally!" he smiles.
"Wh…what are you doing here?" I stutter, still embarrassed.
"I wanted to see you, but you weren't down in the store, so I was going to head over to your house, but then I heard your singing, and I just couldn't leave. Are you ok?" he asks, noticing my nervousness.
"You heard me sing. No one ever hears me sing" I say sitting down on the couch in the corner.
"I don't know why. Your amazing" he smiles, sitting down next to me. I look away from him so he cant see how red my face is going. "The songs amazing as well"
"Its not finished yet. I've been working on it for ages, but I can never get a good ending"
"Maybe I can help you" he says walking over to the piano.
"I thought you said you couldn't write songs" I reply, walking over to him.
Austin's P.O.V.
I cant, but ever since I wrote the song about her this morning, I was feeling pretty confident. I sit down at the piano, playing a few notes. After a second, Ally sits down next to me. She looked amazing today, a simple red dress, her hair curled. She looked beautiful, but then again, she always looks beautiful.
"Impressive" she says when I finish playing. "But I'm sure I can do better" she says starting to play a different tune.
"Ok, but can you do this" I say, leaning back and playing the same tune but with only one hand.
"Please" she laughs, grabbing her phone from the table and sitting back down. She starts playing the same tune with one hand, doing something with her phone at the same time. When she finished playing, my phone goes of. it's a text from Ally, I read it out loud.
"Yes I can" reads the text. "Wow, that's impressive" I smile. She beat me.
"I know" she says, trying to casually flick her hair behind her shoulder, but it seems so awkward that both of us start laughing.
Ally's P.O.V.
"So, shall we try and finish this song then?" he smiles. I nod my head, still unsure if it was a good idea. I had never had anyone help me write my songs before, but I was willing to give Austin the chance. We end up finishing it, and it sounds good.
"Somewhere in a dream
We'll meet again my baby
And I promise that I won't disappear
I'll be right here
And I won't be, won't be, won't be
Just an illusion (yeah baby)
Step right up on the stage
Free you're self from the cage
Pick a card and guess it girl
Here's a lesson girl
Its just an illusion
disappear
I'm coming right back so stay right here
Ain't no second guessing girl
I'm impressing girl
Its just an illusion
Step right up on the stage
Free you're self from the cage
Pick a card and guess it girl
Here's a lesson girl
Its just an illusion
disappear
I'm coming right back so stay right here
Ain't no second guessing girl
I'm impressing girl
Its just an illusion"
As we play the final note on the piano together, our hands touch. I can feel something burst inside me as we turn our heads and look into each others eyes. After a second, both of us start to lean it.
Austin's P.O.V.
We start to lean into each other, and soon our foreheads touch, our lips only centimetres apart. I need to tell her about what Demonica said, I cant keep it a secret from her.
"My manager doesn't want me to see each other anymore" I sigh, our foreheads still touching.
"What?" she says leaning out from me. I lost the moment again.
"My manager said she doesn't want me to go out with you"
"Why? What's wrong with me?" she says standing up from the bench.
"Nothing Ally. Your perfect""Not perfect enough for an internet sensation" she smiles, but I can see in her eyes that she is hurting, so am I.
"She said its either my manager, or you" I sigh. I cant believe this. "You know how much I like you Ally…"
"You don't have to say anything Austin, I understand. Its either me or your career. We've only been on one proper date anyway. I get it" she smiles. "We can just be friends" she say, the smile still on her face, but I can tell its fake.
"Yeah" I sigh. "And maybe you can write a few songs for me, since your so amazing at it"
"Like music partners?"
"Yeah" I smile, at least that means I will get to still see her.
"Sure" she says. Both of us smile, and I open my arms to hug her, but she puts her hand out to shake mine. When I realise what she wants, I put my hand out to shake hers, but she's open her arms to hug me. We both laugh at the awkwardness that has now fallen between us. We do end up hugging. We pull away after a few seconds, but not fully. My arms are still wrapped around her, and hers are wrapped around me. I lean down so out foreheads touch, neither of us say anything, as I lean down and gently kiss her.
I knew one thing, we could never just stay friends.
