Chapter 13

Hey guys! Hope you like the chapter. I don't own Austin and Ally.

Ally's P.O.V.

I pull away from the kiss first, what are we going to do? We cant go out together if it mean he might loose his job.

"Austin, we cant do this" I sigh, taking a step back from him. "I wont let you risk loosing your fans"

"I wont, if we don't tell anyone about us"

"How would that work?"

"We just make sure that no one see's us together. I really like you Ally, I don't want to loose you"

"But I cant do a secret relationship. It would be so much easier if we just be friends" I admit. If I'm honest, I don't think it will be that hard. We've only been on one date together, and we might be better as friends anyway.

"O…Ok" he says, nodding his head. "Sure" he says, putting a smile on his face, but I can immediately tell that its fake. Its not the same smile he gave me when we were on the boardwalk. "Maybe a should tweet my fans, tell them nothings going on between us, stop them moaning" he sighs, getting out his phone.

"Why? What have they been saying?" I ask, trying to look at his phone, but he pulls it out of my sight so I cant see it. It must be bad.

"Can I take a picture, of both of us. Show them who you are?"

"Um, sure" I say running my fingers through my hair so it looks neater. He puts his arm around my shoulders and raises his phone above us. We both smile as he takes the photo. But when we look at it we can tell our smiles are fake. He quickly types a few words before pressing send.

"What did you say?" I ask, he shows me his phone. The picture of us both at the top, the writing at the bottom says…

Meet my amazing FRIEND, Ally Dawson!

It had already been retweeted 50 times, and even more people had started tweeting about it. Some saying they were glad he was still single, others saying that we looked cute together. But we both knew that couldn't happen.

Austin's P.O.V.

Friends, just friends, that's what we had to be. My heart felt heavy as I left Sonic Boom. This was going to be hard, but I had to do it. So I can keep my career, and still see Ally.

Ally's P.O.V.

A few weeks later

I've been hanging out with Austin a lot lately. I think it was a really good decision to just stay friends. He comes into the Melody Diner to see me, and comes into Sonic Boom whenever I'm there. We've been working in my practice room, writing all new songs. Demonic, Austin's manager is fine with us being friends and music partners. We've been working so hard on all the songs, and there really working. None of them are love songs, and I don't mind that, I think its for the best.

Being friends was a really good idea.

Austin's P.O.V.

I lay back on my bed, Dez pacing around the room. These past few weeks have been torture for me! Hanging out with Ally is only making me like her more. And I know we agreed to be friends, but I hate it!

"You are about to enter the friend zone forever Austin" Dez says, sitting down on the chair in the corner.

"I don't want to be in the friend zone" I sigh, sitting up. "I like her to much to just stay friends with her"

"Well, your going to have to do something about it, and fast"

"Like what?"

"Well, you've been writing a lot of songs lately, why not write a love song with her. Trish told me that Ally loves romance. Just try the love song, it might work"

So that's what I did. I went to Sonic Boom later that day. Ally was working behind the counter as usual. Wearing a bright yellow top and flowery skirt. Every time I see her, she takes my breath away. I cant get over how much I like her.

"Hey Austin" she says, giving me a beautiful smile.

"Hey" I say, jumping up on the counter. "Can we write a new song today?"

"We've already written loads, but sure, the stores empty. I guess I have some time"

"Great, lets go" I smile as we both walk up to the practice room.

"Hey, I heard about this competition, South Beach Sound, if you win you get your song on the radio!" she smiles, sitting down on the bench at the piano.

"Awesome! We should write something different to all the other songs to enter" I say, sitting down on the piano next to her.

"Like what?"

"What about a love song?" I ask nervously.

Ally's P.O.V.

I felt awkward as soon as he mentioned writing a love song. We had been getting on so well as friends, I didn't want to ruin it now.

"What about a like song?" I ask nervously, trying to get him away from the idea of a love song.

"Come on, it will work" he smiles, playing a small tune and singing.

(Austin- Bold, Ally- Italic)

"Love, Love, Love

Like, Like… Like

It's a special kind of feeling

But not always so appealing

All you want is to get close

But to close is kinda gross

Gotta go for what you want

But just keeping things on a friendly level is also a good option if you want things to stay the same"

I sing, getting up from the piano bench and walking over to the fridge, grabbing a drink.

"Are you ok?" he asks, walking over to me.

"Yeah, I'm just not really into love songs"

"But Trish told Dez who told me that you love romance"

"Um… I have to get back to work" I say, rushing out of the room.

Austin's P.O.V.

Well that didn't go exactly as I wanted it to. Dez said I was close to being in the friend zone, but I think I'm already there. I fall back on the sofa in the practice room. What am I going to do? I like Ally so much, but she just wants to be friends.

"Hey Austin, what's up?" Dez asks as he walks into the practice room, Trish close behind.

"Lets just say the love song didn't go so well" I sigh.

"But Ally loves romance." Trish adds, grabbing a drink from the fridge.

"Well, she doesn't like romance with me" I sigh.

"She seemed so into you. When she got back from your date, she wouldn't stop going on about you. What happened?"

"My manager said I couldn't date her"

"And you listened to her!" Trish shouts, punching my arm.

"OW!" I shout, my voice going squeaky. "She said if I didn't I would have a manager anymore"

"Well then you need a different manager!" Trish says with a smile on her face.

"Where is he going to find one of them" Dez says dramatically.

"Me you idiot!" she shouts back.

"You, what experience do you have?" Dez asks.

"Well…" she says picking up a thick booklet from the table. She hands it to me, the front cover saying

Trish De La Rosa's Resume

I flip through it. There must be over 100 jobs she's had!

"Wow, that's impressive!" I smile. "You must be good!"

"So, am I hired?"

"Your hired" I smile, handing her back her resume. I take my phone out of my pocket and dial Demonica's number, she picks up after a few rings.

"Hello Austin darling"

"Demonica, your fired!" I say, a smile on my face. She starts to shout at me, a mix of both begging me to stay with her, and shouting at me for leaving. I hang up straight away.

"Great. And as I'm your new manager, I allow you and my best friend Ally Dawson to date" she says a smile on her face, a smile stuck on my face as well.

I start to run down to the store, but stop when I see Ally at the counter. She was laughing and fiddling with her hair, as she talked to another guy.

Hey guys! I hope you like the chapter.

I will try and update again this weekend, but I cant promise anything. I have to go back to my school on Saturday and Sunday because I have play rehearsals. I'm in my schools production of Dracula Spectacular, and the show is next week, so we're busy rehearsing.

Because the show is next week, I probably wont get to update for that week, because the show if on till pretty late. I promise I will update after next week, when the shows are over. I will try and update before then, but I really cant promise anything.

Thanks for reading guys, I hope you liked it. Please review.
