My Songwriter's Scary Secret Chapter 7: Friday, an austin & ally fanfic

Chapter Seven: Friday

I am so scared. Tomorrow is the day I die. I stand up from my spot under the tree. I walk home slowly. My joints are sore from sitting in the same cramped position all night. It's already noon by the time I decide to get up. I stretch them as I walk the rest of the way home. When I walk through the door, I'm pelted with questions from Jeremiah. I've done this before so my dad doesn't ask questions anymore.

"Yes, I'm fine. I was just out," I tell him. "Were you with Austin?" Jeremiah asks stretching out Austin's name. I feel that thing in my eyes again. "Austin. Is. Not. My. Mate!" I scream. "I'm dying tomorrow anyway so it doesn't matter if he's my mate or not." My eyes return to normal as I say this. "You are not dying, Ally!" Jeremiah yells at me.

"Yes, I am!" I yell back at him. Jeremiah gets in my face and almost makes our noses touch. "Listen to me: You will not die because I will not allow it. Do you understand that?" he asks me through clenched teeth. His eyes are as red as blood now. "Fine," I tell him. His eyes return to their original color and he steps away from me.

I sit down on the floor. My legs would give out any second. I go from sitting to lying. "My bones are screaming at me to stop moving," I say quietly. I close my eyes and sigh. "You'll be alright," Jeremiah tells me. "I promise." "I need to go talk to Trish again," I tell him. Jeremiah sighs.

I stand up walk out the door to Sonic Boom. She's been working there for us in case my dad needed to take care of me. The more I move, the better my legs feel. Then they start hurting again. Then they slowly get better. This happens over and over again until I reach Sonic Boom where I can finally stop moving altogether.

"Trish, we need to—what are you doing?" I ask. She was sitting in a chair behind the counter and Dez was feeding her gingerbread men. "I made Dez make me some gingerbread men and then he suggested that he feed them to me," she tells me. I look over at the box which is full of gingerbread men. "No, I didn't. You told me to feed them to you or you would—" "Dez," Trish warns.

"Sorry," he says quickly. He breaks off a gingerbread man's head and drops it into Trish's mouth. "So, what's up, Ally?" Trish asks. "I need to talk to you about… stuff," I say since Dez is in the room. Trish glances at Dez. "He probably won't know what we're talking about. He'll think we're joking or doing role play or something," she whispers to me.

"Okay, um, I found something out and I left it out of our conversation yesterday. I didn't want to tell you but I need to tell you some time," I tell her. "What is it?" she asks. "Um, Austin… is my… mate," I finally get out. "Your mate?!" Dez asks. "Oh, you're talking like a British person, aren't you? So that would make you and me mates. And me and Trish mates. And you and Trish mates. Ooh, can we be chums? I don't like the word 'mates'. It sounds weird."

I look at Dez blankly. "'Ello, chums, how are the gingerbread men, Miss?" Dez asks Trish in a bad British accent. "No, Dez, not that kind of mate. Um…" I sigh. "Oh, the gingerbread men are just delightful, sir," Trish tells Dez in a better British accent. "Lovely," Dez tells her.

"You guys!" I snap. "I don't mean mates as in friends. I mean mates as in lovers!" I slap my hand down over my mouth. "Ooh, you and Austin are lovers," Dez teases. "Why did you call him your mate, though, instead of just saying that?" "Because I'm a vampire, Dez and that's what vampire lovers are called," I tell him. Wait a minute, what did I just say? "It's role play!" I blurt out.

"Ooh, then I wanna be a werewolf!" Dez exclaims growling at us. Trish grabs the collar of Dez's shirt and brings him down to her level. "Feed me more gingerbread men, 'werewolf'," she commands him. "Yes ma'am," Dez says. He lowers a gingerbread man to her mouth and she takes a bite. "So, Austin's your mate, huh?" Trish asks.

"But I don't want him to be my mate. Don't you remember my life plan?" I ask. Trish shakes her head. "I was going to grow up and not have to worry about love," I tell her. "That was my plan, too," Dez says as if he knows what he's talking about. "Cool," I say distractedly.

I wonder what life would be like if Austin was… mine. "What's up, Austin?" Dez asks. "That's not funny, Dez," I tell him. "I wasn't talk to you, Ally. I said Austin… didn't I?" Dez asks. I spin around and see Austin standing there awkwardly. "Aah!" I yell. I jump over the counter and hide behind it. I hug my knees and duck my head down.

"Hey, Austin, guess what?!" Dez asks. "What?" Austin asks. "Dude, you're Ally's—" I jump up, clamp my hand over his mouth, and pull him down behind the counter with me. "You tell him and you. Are. Dead," I whisper to him. He nods his head in understanding. "I'm Ally's what?" Austin asks now interested in our conversation. "Nothing!" I call out to him.

I stand up, bringing Dez with me. "Trish, do not tell him. Dez, come with me," I order. "Are we going on an adventure?" Dez asks as I pull him out of the store. "Sure," I say. "What was that all about?" I hear Austin ask Trish. "Where is our adventure gonna take us?" Dez asks me. "We aren't going on an adventure. I lied to you. I'm sorry," I tell him.

"Aw," he says disappointedly. We walk a little ways until Sonic Boom is out of our sight. "Okay, you are not going to tell Austin what I said, right?" I ask. "Right," he confirms. "And you aren't going to tell him about my… role play role, right?" I ask. "Right," he confirms again. "Now repeat it back to me," I say. "I won't tell Austin anything you said a few minutes before he came in," he tells me. "Okay, good, come on," I say.

We walk back to Sonic Boom. Dez continues feeding Trish and I don't say a word. "Ally, what was he talking about?" Austin asks me. "Uh…" I cover my ears. "La, la, la, la, la!" I run past him and up the stairs to the practice room. I close the door and lock it. I slide down the door. "Ally," Austin says through the door. "I just want to talk like we used to. I don't want to talk about how the week has gone. I just want to talk."

I sigh. "Austin I won't… ever… be able to… look at you or talk to you in the same way now," I admit to him. "Why not? What did I do to you?" he asks. "You didn't do anything," I tell him. I look down. "All you're gonna do is make me fall in love with you," I whisper to where he can't hear. I stand up and open the door.

"All I want to do is talk," he repeats. "Then let's talk," I tell him smiling a weak smile. "So do you have any idea why Dez is feeding Trish gingerbread men?" he asks and I shrug. "Not a clue," I tell him. "Well, I kind of want one. Do you?" he asks. "Not really," I tell him. "Ally, get down here!" Trish yells. "But I guess I'm going down anyway," I say.

We walk downstairs. "Yes, Trish?" I ask as Austin grabs a gingerbread man. "Eat this," she tells me shoving a half-eaten gingerbread man in my face. "I'm not really hungry," I tell her. "Eat it," she says. I take a bite out of it. "So what?" I ask. "Now eat this one," she says shoving another one in my face. "Trish, why?" I ask. "Just do it," she tells me.

I take a bite of it. I shake my head in confusion. "Don't they taste different?" she asks. "I used the same ingredients for each and every one of those. There's no way that they taste different," Dez tells us. "You must have used different ingredients you idiot!" Trish yells at Dez. "Yeah, this one tastes like nutmeg" —I hold up the first one— "And this one tastes like cinnamon," I say holding up the other one.

Dez and Trish start arguing about it. "Guys, guys, does it really matter?" Austin intervenes. "Yes!" Trish and Dez exclaim to him. They continue arguing about it. I sigh and Austin walks over to stand beside me. "They are such—" I'm cut off by the gingerbread men coming back up. I throw them up onto the floor.

I'm confused. I thought vampires couldn't throw up. "Ally, are you okay?" Austin asks. "Yeah… um… I'm just not supposed to eat sweets, I guess," I tell him. And I'm not. If I eat human food, it has to be meat. Maybe Jeremiah hasn't eaten much human food since he was fifteen so he didn't know you could throw up.

I don't know. "Are you sure you're alright?" Trish asks. "Yeah, I'm fine. Promise," I tell them. "You guys wanna go get some lunch?" Dez asks. Everyone yells "Yes!" while I yell "No!" Everyone looks at me. "No… thanks. I'm not really… hungry," I say. I think of blood and lick my lips. "Are you sure?" Austin asks. "I'm sure," I tell him.

"I can stay here with you if you want," he tells me. "That's really not necessary, Austin," I tell him with a wave of dismissal. "Well, I'm hungry so you losers can stay here if you want. Goodbye," Trish says walking out of Sonic Boom. Dez follows close behind her. "Are you sure you don't want to come?" Austin asks. I nod.

"I'm just gonna go work on a new song, I guess,"' I tell him. "Alright, see you later, Als," he says walking out the door. I walk up to the practice room. I play random notes for about ten minutes. Then I just stop.

How can I fall in love with Austin Moon? It just isn't possible. We're complete opposites. I know, I know. Opposites attract but not Austin and I. I just don't get it. When I first got my heart broken, I promised myself that I would never fall in love again. I guess he's the only exception. No, he isn't my mate. I see the same vision I saw yesterday.

"Stop showing me that!" I exclaim. He's gotten inside my head. He's going to make me paranoid. He's going to make me go insane. He's going to eat away at me from the inside out... He's going to make me fall in love with him...

No, I won't let that happen. He's already inside my head. He's already made me paranoid. He's already made me go insane. He's already eating away at me. I let out an angry sigh. This is so frustrating! I hate this! I hate him.

"I hate you, Austin Moon!" I scream as loud as I can, standing up. I hear the door close and my head snaps to the left. That was probably him. Damn it, Ally. If you scream, scream in your head! God, I'm such an idiot. I walk downstairs. Austin's sitting on the counter with his head down talking to Dez and Trish.

I put my hand on his shoulder and he turns around. "I don't know what I did but I'm sorry," he tells me setting down his sandwich on a napkin. "I didn't mean what I said," I say quietly. "Then why did you say it?" he asks. "I don't know. I was just… really frustrated," I admit. "That-that really hurt me, Ally," he tells me. "I expect it probably did. I'm sorry," I tell him wrapping him in a hug. His arms wrap around my waist.

His nuzzles his face into my hair and I fit my head into the crook of his neck. I've always liked doing this, ever since we first met. It relaxes me: the warmth of his neck on my head. I just love it. "We got you a sandwich," Dez says breaking the mushy moment. Austin and I let go of each other. What? It wasn't a mushy moment. It was two friends hugging. End of story.

"I told you guys I wasn't hungry," I tell him. "Trish wanted to get it for you," Dez says shrugging. "What? No, it was you who wanted to get the sandwich for Ally!" Trish exclaims. "No, it was you. I remember. You said, 'Maybe we should get a sandwich for Ally. Just in case she gets hungry,'" Dez says in a high pitched voice. "No, you said that! You knew she wasn't gonna eat it so you were going to!" Trish yells at him.

"No, I wasn't!" he yells back. "Ally, are you gonna eat that?" I shake my head. "I knew it," Trish says. Dez and Trish begin arguing, as they always do. "I really am sorry. I was just—" "Frustrated, I know," Austin cuts me off smiling. "It's alright." "Awesome," I say. My phone rings and I answer it. "Hello?" "Heeey. Whatcha doin'?" Jeremiah asks me.

"What do you want, Jeremiah?" I ask. "I just wanted to know what you were doing. Geez," he says. "I'm hanging out with my friends," I tell him. "Ooh, is Austin there?" he asks. I hesitate. "Yes, Austin's here," I say quietly looking down. Austin's probably wondering why he was asked about. "Can I talk to him?" he asks. "No," I tell him firmly. "Give him the phone," Jeremiah tells me. "No," I repeat. "Why not?" he asks.

I close my phone and slip it into my pocket. "What was that all about?" he asks. I shrug and look over at Trish and Dez. They're still arguing. "Do you wanna go work on a new song?" I ask Austin. "Uh, sure," he says glancing at Trish and Dez too. We walk upstairs. We sit down on the piano bench. Oh, God no. His leg is touching mine but now it feels awkward.

"What kind of song do you want to write?" I ask him. "Well, I really want to write a… never mind. You don't write those kinds of songs," he says. "Psht, I write all kinds of songs," I say in a high pitched voice. "Okay I want to write a party song—" "A party song?!" I cut him off. "Yeah, a party song. I want it to be so awesome that everyone is listening to it 24/7!" he exclaims. "But you can't write party songs." "Whaaat?" I ask. "I can write a party song. Lemme just take a look in my big… small book of magic." I open my song book and a song I wrote last month. "How about this?" I ask.

This kitten got your tongue

Tied in knots

I see

Spit it out

'Cause I'm dying for company

I notice that you got it

You notice that I want it

You know that I can take it

To the next level baby

"You did not just sing that," Austin says with a chuckle. I smile. I take his hand and lead him downstairs. I sit him down at the drums. I pick up the electric guitar. "You can play electric guitar?" he asks with a smirk. "Yes, I'm not a two-instrument girl. Now start playing," I say.

This kitten got your tongue

Tied in knots

You see

Spit it out

'Cause I'm dying for company

I notice that you got it

You notice that I want it

You know that I can take it

To the next level baby

If you want this bad bitch

Sicker than the remix

Baby let me blow your mind tonight

"Okay, hang on a second. This has got to be a dream. Did Ally Dawson just swear? And is Ally Dawson playing the electric guitar? And is Ally Dawson singing a party song like this?" Austin asks laughing. I send him a cocky smile. "It isn't a dream, I swear. Keep playing. This is fun!" I exclaim. We both pick up from where we left off.

Never felt like

Felt like

This before

Come on

Get me

On the floor

DJ, what you

What you waiting for?

I start dancing crazily and even though it's bad dancing, I don't care. Dez and Trish also start dancing. I walk over to Austin and dance beside him making him laugh.

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Watch me move when I lose

When I lose

It hard

Get you off with the touch

Dancing in the dark

You notice what I'm wearing

I noticing you're staring

You know that I can take it

To the next level baby

Hotter than the A-list

Next one on my hit list

Baby let me blow your mind tonight

I can't take it

Take it

Take no more

Never felt like

Felt like

This before

Come on

Get me

On the floor

DJ, what you

What you waiting for?

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

See the sunlight

We ain't stopping

Keep on dancing

Till the world ends

If you feel it

Let it happen

Keep on dancing

Till the world ends

Keep on dancing

Till the world ends

Keep on dancing

Till the world ends

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

See the sunlight

We ain't stopping

Keep on dancing

Till the world ends

If you feel it

Let it happen

Keep on dancing

Till the worlds ends

I stop playing and take a deep breath. "Is that a good enough party song for you?" I ask. Austin nods. "I wrote that last month. And you said I couldn't write a party song," I scoff. "I may not look like I can but I can write 'em!" "You were right. I apologize," Austin tells me. "That's what I thought," I say smiling. "That was amazing. You should write party songs more often," he says stretching his fingers.

We walk over and hop up on to the counter. We sit in silence for a while then I nudge him with my elbow. "Hey!" he says laughing. He nudges me back. I laugh too and push him with both hands this time. He catches himself. He jumps off the counter, picks me up, and spins me around. "Aah!" I yell. I hear him laugh.

"Austin, put me down!" I yell but I can't help but laugh too. He stops spinning and stops laughing. "Give me a good reason," he says. "I wrote you an amazing song," I suggest. He puts me down smiling. "Good enough for now," he tells me with a nod of approval. "Shut up," I say hitting him in the chest. "You know, you should really replace that word in the song for the kiddies," he says.

"You can figure that out on your own since I wrote the song," I tell him. He pouts. "Don't do that," I whine. He looks over at Trish and Dez who are arguing again over who-knows-what then back to me. "Then kiss me," he whispers. I look up into his eyes to see if he's serious.

He is.

I take a deep breath. Then I lean up and kiss him. "I knew you would do it," he whispers when we pull apart. I look down. "I should go," I say quietly. I walk past Trish and Dez who are still arguing. Surprisingly, Austin doesn't follow me home. I really don't want to talk to him right now.

I didn't need to kiss him. All he was doing was pouting… but it was really adorable and I wouldn't have been able to say no… Wait, what was I supposed to be saying no to? Damn it, he made me lose my train of thought. I feel a pang in my stomach. I double over on the sidewalk. I pretend like I'm tying my shoe so no one would ask if anything was wrong.

This reminds me that I have one more day to live. Jeremiah tries to stop me but I just walk past him. "I don't want to talk right now," I tell him as I walk up the stairs. I turn the silver knob to my room and open the door. It looks so empty. I lie down on my bed and just lie there for the rest of the night.

Alright you guys, get ready for tomorrow because tomorrow's chapter is very special! Hehe. Oh, and the song in this chapter is Till The World Ends by Britney Spears. Anyway, this chapter was mostly just to show Ally that she can have fun with Austin without having to fall in love with him… until he told her to kiss him… and then she did it… Anyway, here's a recap: tomorrow's chapter is special; the song was Till The World Ends by Britney Spears; and the chapter was about having fun. Anywho, review! (Hehe that rhymed!)

Love, Kenzie
