I'm going to try to type all of this before 1/2/14 is over! Let's see how I do!
Austin's POV
I pulled up in front of Sonic Boom on my bike and walked over to the door. Like I expected, it was locked, so I knocked. Ally's head popped out of the practice room doorway and, seeing who it was, she dashed down the stairs to open the door.
"Hey Austin," Ally said in almost a whisper. It was really weird for her to be so quiet.
"Hey Ally, 'sup?" I asked her playfully. Ally gave a small smile. "So what did you want to talk about?" I then asked her.
Ally took my hand and sat me down on the piano bench before sitting next to me. It felt weird to have her sitting so close... but it felt... right, somehow. For a second Ally just stared at me.
"What's wrong...?" I asked anxiously. Ally suddenly looked away. I could tell that she wanted to chew on her hair. It had been a bad habit of hers but semi-recently she had gotten over it... for the most part.
"Ronnie Ramone called me today," she said quietly, fiddling with a guitar pick. "He... wants me to go on tour." My jaw dropped.
"Ally that's awesome!" I said, jumping up and hugging her. I suddenly pulled away when I realized she wasn't hugging me back.
"Yeah, but um..." she stuttered.
"Ally, you can tell me anything," I told her, sitting back down.
"Ronnie thought it would be a good idea if I was dating another star..." When Ally said this my eyes lit up, full of hope. "So he's making me go on tour with one of his clients, Jake, and... no one else..." Suddenly my face fell.
"But... it's not like you're going to be dating Jake, right?" I asked hopefully. But I knew the answer.
"Ronnie wants to see how we look together. If we end up getting along and liking each other, then yeah."
I looked at the floor. "Oh," I said simply. Ally sat back down next to me. "It's not like we're going to be completely alone," Ally then added. "Jake's manager Riley will be there." I looked up at her and raised an eyebrow. She sighed.
"Austin, I-I know that... there's still an us, and I could just say I don't want to go on tour with Jake and it'd be fine," she said nervously.
"Ally, you can't turn down your first tour," I told her. Ally didn't look convinced. "Look, I'm proud of you, and I'm fine with whatever you want to do."
"...I'm going to tell Ronnie I don't want to go," Ally decided and tried to stand up. I grabbed her arm.
"Okay, I'm NOT fine with whatever you want to do. Ally you have to do this!" I insisted. Ally sighed.
"But... it'll be three months of us away from each other... and Austin I can't do this again!" she said and quickly hugged me. I felt her tears dripping onto my shirt and wrapped my arms around her.
"Ally, this is a big chance for you," I reminded her. "And it won't be too bad- we can video chat, and I can come to as many of your concerts as possible."
"Yeah, um, Ronnie said that he doesn't want you coming or chatting or anything..." Ally said nervously. "Too many fans already think we like each other, and he would rather have me date Jake then you..." I apparently looked hurt, because Ally immediately followed it up with "But he's your second choice!"
"...Not helping..." I muttered. Ally made an apologetic face. "Ally, everything's going to be fine. And... if you want to date Jake, that's fine too."
"I won't," Ally insisted. After one more hug I headed back home.
But somehow I knew that she was wrong.
Ooh, foreshadowing! What do you guys think? :D
