Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally.
Ally's POV
Our jamming session went by real quick. We didn't realize it had been 4 hours since we started. The exhilarating excitement we had for one another's talents come one after the other. We were able to start on a new original and talk more about the competition. We negotiated as long as I had gotten credit for my music; Austin is open to my practice room along with his two friends. I, of course, took the liberty to lock up all the importantly personal items and left those I didn't mind being touched. It was great having Austin by my side. Every minute spent with one another, we learn new talents of one another. It's a friendship I have never made so fast. Sadly, I have fallen for him before we were officially friends. Now I am forced to keep my feelings from him. Now was not the time to get into deeper meaning.
Back to the topic, we were able to create an up- beat song. Something you would have to sing in a party or a song to help cheer you up after a breakup. We haven't come across the title but our lyrics were slowly coming together.
It's been a really, really messed up week
Seven days of torcher
Seven days of bitter
And my girlfriend went cheating on me
She's a California dime but it's time for me to quite her
La, la, la,
La, la, la
We were able to combine both drums and guitar with a side of the piano in its background. It's the first song I was able to create with minor help. Mostly the rhythm, with collision of words. First day, first song and maybe with my first love.
It's hard to tell if it really is love. Considering the facts that we had only known one another for one whole day. But the sparks speak to me. Hard to understand but the feel was right. I guess it's best to keep my feelings to the side. Observe how our relationship plays out before barging in to an unknown atmosphere.
I was too caught up in my thoughts, I didn't realize Trish was yelling out my name.
"ALLY DAWSON! CAN YOU HEAR M-"
"Yes! Trish so sorry. It's just…bothering me. It's-"
"hard to not stop thinking about him. Even for the slightest minute. Honey I know but please be attentive. You're close to pouring coffee on someone if it were here right now." I respond with a smirk.
"Whatever. How about I treat us to a cup of hot coco and a movie. Let's say…Easy A?"
"You win!"
"Just right after my shift, I have to close up today."
"No problem. I'll get the stuff ready. I'll be up there if you need anything." I nod and resume to my job. Going around and assisting those in need of service. I was abruptly pulled away from a customer by no other than Austin.
"AUSTIN! What was that for?"
"The talent search gave us a much earlier audition in 3 days. We have to rehearse tonight and plan everything. They said their starting their elimination round until it's down to one."
"Woah, woah. Slow down. I thought the auditions start for another month?"
"It was just a decoy to get those to audition not to worry."
"Well isn't that smart!" I said sarcastically.
"Not really. I mean its kind-"
"I didn't mean it literally. That was sarcasm- never mind." I say walking around the counter and checking around the store for any instruments out of display. Austin was following me at every corner until he grew impatient from all my rounds.
"Well…What are we waiting for?" I turn around wearily.
"We-ll, I kind of promise Trish for tonight to be our movie night."
"Can't you reschedule?" No. Oh shush conscience.
"Yeah and make all her hard work worth nothing." I said sarcastically. Guys just don't understand.
"Yeah. It's not that much."
"You really don't get sarcasm do you?"
"What's more important, movie night or the competition?" It's hard to choose from. On one hand I have a great friend who sacrifice a lot and on another I have a responsibility for. You know you want to be with Austin right now than Trish. Now is not the time conscience. Then when is? Oh you-
"Ally? You still there?" Austin said waving his hand in front of my face.
"Oh..uhh yeah."
"So what's it going to be?" The way he ask is very straight forward.
"Both! Look how about we work tomorrow?"
"We can't I have a gig all afternoon."
"The day after."
"Another gig."
"Then how will we get all of our practice by tonight?"
"We still have your originals to perfect. Plan out how to perform it."
"You can do that hands down. All on your own, I already gave you a copy and everything. And…What about Trish?"
"I brought Dez and Dylan to watch. Maybe they can do something while we do our thing."
"Our thing?" I couldn't help but giggle inside. The way he had said those words, it was as if we were a something more.
"You know the competition. What else?" Oh I don't know your undying love for me.
"Oh nothing. But…the guilt." I knew he was on to something but was glad when he brushed it off.
"Please Ally! It's just this one time."
"Sure. It will be one time then another until we do it all the time and-"
"I'll tell her if you want."
"No, no. I can say it. Just watch over the store for me." I quickly run up the stairs and into the room Trish was kind enough to set up.
The guilt was building inside of me. Every step of the way was just eating me alive. She was the one that was always by my side and letting her down. I know it's a bit dramatic but every bond is like glue holding our pieces together. Without it, we'll fall apart. The thing is it might just be this one time but it's bound to happen again and again and I'm afraid to lose such friendship for something as selfish.
I hold myself together. As I slowly open the door hearing it's slow creek noise that catches Trish's attention.
"Hey Ally! You ready to go?" Never have I thought those words to sound so uncomfortable.
