Chapter 18
Hey guys! I've been working on this chapter all day, and I think its quite long! I guess its my twist on last nights episode! I hope you like it! I don't own Austin and Ally!
Austin's P.O.V.
"Where is she?" I sigh as I leap onto the counter at Sonic Boom.
"Give her a chance Austin, its only been a few hours" Trish adds.
"Well, how long does it take to catch up with a guy?"
"A normal guy, a day. But I guy like Elliot, you may never see Ally again!"
"That's not funny Trish" I say. I know she meant it as a joke, but I just didn't find it funny.
"Hey guys" says the voice I've been waiting to hear all day. "Elliot, this is Dez and Trish, you already know Austin"
"Unfortunately" I whisper under my breath.
"I cant believe your actually here! You look a-mazing!" Ally says with a smile.
"What about you, you look go-orguse!" he replies, making Ally blush.
"Why are they talking so cr-azy?" Dez whispers to me, I just shrug my shoulders.
Ally's P.O.V.
I just felt so happy to see Elliot again, I hadn't seen him since camp. I had missed him.
"Austin, I love your song Illusion! Its my favourite!" Elliot says.
"Thanks man! I have the best song writer in the business!" Austin smiles at me. I smiles back at him, at least he's not acting so wired now.
"She's the best at everything! That's why we were basket weaving buddies back at camp! I'll never forget the first day she walked into the weavers tent, her baskets were unbe-wevable!" Elliot laughs. I laugh as well, remembering it all.
"I used to do arts and crafts to!" Austin says with a strange look on his face.
"Nobody cares" Dez adds, making all of laugh except Austin, who turns back to the counter with some paper.
"I used to love camp!" I say, looking at Elliot.
"Check it out! It's a hand turkey!" Austin says excitedly, turning back to us and showing the piece of paper he was drawing on.
"Put it away, your embarrassing yourself" Dez whispers to him, but its loud enough for all of us to hear, making us laugh.
"Anyway…" Elliot says, changing the subject. "I need to ask you something" he says taking my hands and pulling me away from my friends. "Will you…"
Austin's P.O.V.
What does he think he's doing? He'd better not ask what I think he's going to ask!
"…Help me make a toothpick house for my turtle?" Elliot asks, I give a huge sigh of relief.
"Of course!" Ally replies excitedly. "Do you still have your glue gun?"
"I never leave home without it!" Elliot says, pulling a glue gun out of his pocket. How lame is this guy!
"Isn't he cute" Ally says to us. WHAT! I know she doesn't mean it in that way, but what is going on? I'm standing right here!
"I thought so till he pulled out a glue gun" Trish whispers to me and Dez.
"Well, it was great to meet you Elliot" I say, walking over to her and putting my arm around her. "But the four of us we're going to go out and celebrate, so…"
"We can celebrate later Austin, I want to show Elliot around Miami!" she says, quickly kissing me before pulling away. Why is she acting like this?
"I saw a craft store in the mall, can we hit that first?"
"Sure!" she replies, walking out of the store without even saying goodbye.
The next day
"Trish, have you seen Ally?" I ask when I walk into the food court. I hadn't seen her since yesterday in the store.
"No, she's out with Elliot"
"Again! We need to work on some new songs, but with Elliot around, she's too busy for me!" I sigh. "I think she might like Elliot more then me"
"Don't be stupid Austin, she loves you. But she hasn't seen Elliot in years. Just give her a few days to catch up with him, then she'll be back to normal."
"But, I've never seen her act like that around someone before"
"Austin, stop it, your starting to sound way to jealous"
"Pft! I'm not jealous" I say, trying to relax.
"And then I said your baskets were unbe-wevable!" says an all to familiar voice. I turn around to see Ally walk into the food court with Elliot.
"We had so much fun back then!" she laughs. I walk straight over to them.
"Well, I bet your fun back then wasn't anymore fun the our fun back now" I say, without realising that what I just said made no sense!
Ally's P.O.V.
"Anyway" Trish says walking over to us. "Do you want to go to the movies or something today Ally?"
"I'm sorry Trish, but I was really hoping Ally and I could basket weave again. For old times sake. You wanna join?" Elliot says politely. He's so nice to people.
"Oh, that sound awful!" Trish replies.
"Sorry Trish, we can go next week" I smile. "Come on Elliot" we both walk out of the food court.
Austin's P.O.V.
"See! She doesn't want to hang out with us!" I say, going back to my seat.
"Just give her sometime Austin. Trust me" She replies.
Later that day
"What are you doing?" Dez asks when he walks into the practice room later that day. "Why are you making a birds nest?"
"It's a basket, Elliot's not the only guy who can do arts and crafts" I say, showing him my basket which I had spent hours making. But it wasn't really going as well as I hoped it would.
"Apparently he is" Dez says looking at the basket and throwing it to the ground. "I know why your doing this. Your upset about Ally and Elliot"
"A guy cant just basket weave for the fun of it?" I ask, grabbing a drink from the fridge.
"No, no he cant" Dez says, sitting down on the couch in the corner. "I think your jealous of how much they have in common"
"What?" I say, my voice sounding squeaky. "Me and Ally have loads in common"
"But your worried that she likes Elliot more then you"
"Well… yeah, I don't want to loose her Dez. She's the best thing that ever happened to me" I sigh, sitting at the piano bench. " I love her smile, her laugh. I love it when we're playing piano, and our hands touch. I get this feeling like no one else in the world means as much to me. I didn't even get this feeling with Kira" I sigh.
Ally's P.O.V.
A few days later
"Remember when we tie-dyed pillow cases?" Elliot asks as we walk into Sonic Boom.
"Yep, I still remember" I sigh.
"So, I'll meet you a champions at 7. Don't forget, its trivia night. Remember how competitive I was when we used to play games back at camp?" he laughs.
"Yes!" I snap. "I remember everything about camp" I snap. Elliot waves goodbye and leaves the store. I give a sigh of relief that he's gone. "Trish, I thought you were supposed to be at work?" I says, walking over to the counter where she is reading a magazine.
"I am, that's why I'm here" she jokes, but I'm glad she's here, I really need to talk to her about Elliot.
"I need to talk to you. Elliot mentioned the G word today"
"Glue gun?"
"No, girlfriend, as in, I think he wants me to be his"
"But your with Austin"
"I know, and I want to stay with Austin. Its just been so nice to see Elliot again, I've been spending a lot of time around him, and I think he took it the wrong way. And even if I wasn't with Austin, I wouldn't want to date him. We have nothing to talk about but camp, and that's all he talks about…"
"That sucks. I know he was your first crush"
"Well, I'm not the same girl I was back at camp. But I have to do something, I don't want to hurt Elliot, but I defiantly don't want to be his girlfriend. I want to be with Austin."
"You just have to tell him your not interested"
"Ok, I'll do it tonight. I'll just say, Elliot, you were my first crush, I always wanted to be your girlfriend…" I say, but I'm interrupted by Dez making a shocked noise. "Oh, hey Dez…"
"Hey Ally, I didn't hear anything" he says walking over to us.
"Okay, well, I'd better get ready to meet Elliot. What do I wear for something like this?" I ask, turning back to Trish.
"Well, your coming to champions and I'll be your server, so wear something that hides food stains"
"I'll go with the red dress" I say walking away from the two of them.
Austin's P.O.V.
I was just sat in the practice room thinking of some song lyrics when…
"AUSTIN!" Dez screams.
"AH!" I shout in a really high pitched voice.
"We've got to talk about Ally"
"Why, what happened?"
"Don't be upset, but Ally's going to tell Elliot she wants to be his girlfriend"
"WHAT!"
"Yea, she said he was her first crush and she's always wanted to be his girlfriend. She's telling him tonight at champions, where Trish is working. She's wearing a red dress and everything!"
"No, that cant happen, she cant be his girlfriend, she's with me! He's not the right guy for her." I say, rushing out of the room. There's got to be some mistake, she cant be with Elliot. I thought she liked me! I need to go and convince her that I'm the guy for her, not him.
Ally's P.O.V.
"And then I said your baskets were unbe-wevable" Elliot says, telling me the story for the millionth time. "I never get tired of telling that story"
"Yeah, I noticed" I sigh. I feel drained when I'm around him now, I cant wait to get this over with so I can spend more time with Austin. "Listen Elliot, I need to talk to you"
"Ally!" shouts a voice. I turn around to see Austin rush in.
"Austin, what are you doing here?"
"I thought I would wish you luck for trivia night!" Austin says.
"Well, I would ask if you wanted to stay, but I was kind of hoping for some time alone with Elliot"
"If you insist me on staying!" Austin says sitting down on a chair close by, completely ignoring everything I just said.
"Well, Ally and I are going to win! We're the best team!" Elliot says, nudging my shoulder.
"No your not! Me and Ally would make a much better team!" he says, looking at me. What is going on with him lately. "How about we don't play teams. How about we go head to head, unless Elliot is scared I'll beat him. What do you say?"
"I say the same thing our Arts and Crafts camp said about sun block, bring it!"
"Ok people with nothing better to do, welcome to trivia night!" Trish says at the microphone. "First question, name the British singer who sang Rolling In The Deep"
"That's a tough one, not really into music" Elliot says as I write down the answer.
"Ha, how can you not be into music? Me and Ally know this straight away!" Austin says giving Elliot a horrible look. I feel so confused. Does Austin think there is something going on between me and Elliot?
"Times up, the answer is Adel!" Trish says through the microphone. Me and Austin both have the answer.
"Yes! Austin- 1, Elliot- 0!" Austin says smugly.
"Next question, name the method of dying a fabric using wax" Trish says.
"I know this from camp" Elliot says. The word camp is making me more annoyed.
"Shocking" I sigh, writing down the answer.
48 questions later
"That was our 50th and final question"
"Did I win?!" Austin shouts over to Trish.
"Austin, you and Elliot are tied for last place. The winner is Ally Dawson!" she shouts over to us.
"Wow! Free appetizer!" I smile.
"Great! Lets go home now!" Austin says standing up from his seat, about to walk out.
"Elliot, I really need to talk to you"
"No, hang on. I need to beat him! I know how we can settle this…"
And so all the madness started. We spent all night at champions, Elliot and Austin going head to head at everything. Air hockey, basket ball amusement, rock paper scissors, thumb wrestling, everything! Its when they started a tug of war when I stopped them.
"We've been doing this for hours, cant we just call it a draw?"
"No! I have to beat him" Austin shouts, trying to pull the rope.
"Why do you care so much both of you?"
"What?" Elliot asks. "I don't" he says, letting go of the rope, making Austin stumble backwards.
"Austin, are you ok?" I shout to him.
"Yes! I won!" he says walking back over to us, covered in rubbish.
"Are you sure? Winners aren't usually covered in egg salad and buffalo sauce" Trish says.
"Elliot's not so perfect now is he Ally?" Austin says walking back over to me. "Still wanna be his girlfriend?"
"What? I don't want to be Elliot's girlfriend." I say to Austin before turning to face him. "Look, Elliot, you're a really nice guy, you were my first crush, but I don't want to be your girlfriend, we have nothing to talk about apart from camp, and it gets a little boring."
"Oh, I understand" Elliot says looking a bit hurt.
"And you" I say, turning back to Austin. "You know how much I love you, I cant believe you thought I would do that to you. I thought you trusted me" I say walking out.
Austin's P.O.V.
I cant believe I was so stupid! I should have trusted her, or asked her about it. Not acted like a child and try to beat Elliot at everything! I head straight home to change out of the disgusting clothes and rush back to the practice room at Sonic Boom. I sit at the piano and play the small tune I had been working on for the song while Ally had been with Elliot. I stop immediately when Ally walks into the room. Still looking amazing in her red dress she was wearing earlier.
"Hey"
"Hey" she replies walking over to me.
"Listen Ally, about tonight…"
"You don't have to say anything Austin." she says, so I just sit there in silence. "I mean you don't have to not say anything. You know what, lets just work on the song" she says sitting down on the piano bench next to me. We start to play a small tune together. It sounds beautiful. Part way through the song, our hands touch. I feel the same spark I always do when this happens. She looks up at me, and I look at her, our eyes locked. I start to lean in, and at first so does she. Our faces are only a centimetre apart. I lean in even further, but she turns her head. Going back to playing the piano.
I hope you liked my twist on Campers and Complications. I will update soon.
Till next time
Ready, Set, ROCK!Lets Get LOUD!
