Bonjour my lovely readers! How was your week? Mine was just interesting...but I'll spare you all the details. You all just probably want to read the chapter...

Thank you to all the reviews I got! You all are just amazing did you know that? You probably did.

Chapter 5- (there will be some time fast forwarding)

"What is she doing here? We're supposed to be having fun." She doesn't even look at Ashley.

"You know, I'm right here." Ashley pointed to herself.

"Oh, I know. But I just wish you weren't." Trish rolled her eyes. Ashley stepped closer to her.

"You wanna go, short stuff?" Ashley threatened. Trish's eyes darkened and her jaw tightened.

"Bring it, fake stuff." That was when Ashley lifted her hand and I shot up and ran in front of Trish.

"No!" I screamed, but it was too late, the next thing I knew there was a smacking sound, I was on the sand and my face stung really bad.

"Ally!" I heard Trish say. My eyes were closed and I felt my cheek start to heat up and burn.

"Ashley what the hell is your problem?!" Ryan yelled. I looked back up. Austin was just staring at me, shocked. Ryan continued to shout at Ashley.

"I didn't know she was going to move there!" Ashley shot back. She scoffed and walked back over to Austin. "C'mon, Austy, let's go where it's actually fun."

Austin didn't go with her. Instead, he knelt down beside me and helped me up. I mumbled a 'thanks', before my eyes started to water and I sprinted away. I went to the side of the consection stand, pulled my knees close to my chest and buried my face in my arms.

"Ally, are you alright?" I looked up. Trish, Ryan, and Dez stood in front of me. I wiped my eyes.

"Not really." I was sort of hoping that Ausitn would be there too, but he wasn't. Of course he isn't here. He's too busy with Ashley. I thought to myself.

"Let me see where she slapped you." Ryan bent over and examined my cheek. He touched it softly, but since it stung really hard, I flinched a little bit. "Sorry." He said.

"It's fine." I replied. I got up and brushed off the sand from my legs. "I'm going to buy something from the grill. Do you guys want anything?" They all shook their heads.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Ryan offered.

"No, It's okay, I'll be fine." I turned around and headed for the Grill bar. I scanned the menu. There weren't a lot of expensive foods, so when I decided, I walked up to the counter.

"Hi, what can I get you?" A girl asked. I read the name on her I.D. tag, 'Isabelle'.

"Um, just a hot dog and large fries please." I told her. She scribbled my order onto the pad and handed it to some guy in the kitchen.

"Whoa, what happened to your cheek?" She asked, leaning over to see it.

"I got slapped."

"By who?" I pointed to Ashley outside, and she made a disgusted face.

"That two-faced, whore?" She didn't sound so surprised. Isabelle scoffed. "She stole my boyfriend last year. I haven't had the time to teach her who she was dealing with."

I laughed. "Be my guest, but can I get my food first? I wanna enjoy this." She laughed with me again and handed me my order. Then she came around the corner, taking off her appron and hollering to her boss that she's taking her break. We casually walked back to our spot.

"Ally," Austin scrambled up and touched my cheek. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. No thanks to you really." I said. He sat back down next to Ashley, who had her sunglasses on.

"Yeah, sorry about that Hally." She appologized unconvincingly. I rolled my eyes.

"Sure, you're totally forgiven." I said, putting a great deal of sarcasm in my voice. "And it's Ally, not Hally."

"Whatever." She sighed. Ashley took off her sunglasses and looked at Isabelle. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Isabelly."

"It's Isabelle. Nice to see you too Ashley." Isabelle's voice was stone cold. She glared at Ashley.

"How have you been?" Ashley asked.

"Cut the crap, Ashley. I'm here to settle things." Isabelle barked. For a second, Ashley was taken back, but that feeling quickly left.

"Settle what things?"

"Isabelle?" Isabelle turned around.

"Ryan? What are you doing here?" Ryan walked towards her.

"I can't believe you're here. I haven't seen you in, what? 3 years?" He admitted.

"4 years, actaully." She added. They both laughed.

"Welll, isn't this such a strange coincidence that we're all here on the same beach at athe same time?" Ashley asked. No one replied to her. I mentally laughed. "I'm sorry, loves, but I'm afraid that Austy and I have to get going now. Oh and Isabelle, you never told me that Ryan was THAT good of a kisser." She turned away with a evil smirk on her face. That was when Isabelle pounced on her.

Ashley started to try to pull Isabelle's hair, but Isabelle was too fast for her. She clawed at Ashley's face and called her things that shouldn't be heard by little kids. After a minute, Ryan and I tried pulling her off of Ashley. Once we got her off, we held her back.

"Whoa, Isabelle. Chill." Ryan tried to calm her down.

"See! This is why Ryan left you!" Ashley shouted, as she wiped the blood from her nose. Austin took her to the restrooms.

"That-"

"Isabelle, I want you to know, I never wanted to leave you. Ashley forced me. I-I still love you." He said sincerely. I smiled. All of this is just too cute.

"Aww." I said outloud. Isabelle's mouth turned into a grin.

"Really?" Ryan nodded. She hugged him.

"You guys are just adorable." Trish sighed.

"Ally, I'm really sorry about what's been going on with Austin. I want you to know that I'll be here for you." Ryan told me. I smiled and hugged him.

"Thank you, Ryan. It means a lot." I said to him.

"Me too." Isabelle added. "I want to help you to make sure you don't lose Austin, like I thought I lost Ryan."

I sighed and looked over my shoulder at Austin and Ashley (see it doesnt even sound right). "That's the thing. I think I already did."

A few days later...

"So, Ally, I've set up a reservation at Myra's on Sunday. They have a little kareoke night and I hope you can come up with something." Jimmy said to me over the phone. I sighed.

"Yeah, I'm working on a song right now. It will be done by Sunday." I informed him.

"Good, good. Has Austin helped you with any new songs?" He asked.

"Uh, yeah." I lied. Austin hasn't even said more than 20 words to me in days. Guess where he's been?

"Excellent. Well, I'll see you all tomorrow then?"

"Yes, Jimmy." We hung up and I started writing more lyrics down in my book. I smiled because I had a feeling this was going to be a good song.

The story starts and it hot and it was summer and

I had it all

I had him right there, where I wanted him.

She came along, got him along

And let's hear the applause

I tapped my pencil on my chin.

She had to know the pain was beating on me

Like a drum.

She unestimated just who she was stealing from.

I set my book down and walked out of my room. Trish and Dez were in the kitchen and Austin was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey guys. Jimmy wants us to meet him at Myra's on Sunday. That's when I have to 'prove to him' that I have to stay." I took a seat on the chair and Trish handed me a glass of lemonade.

"I think this whole thing complete BS." Trish spat out. Dez nodded.

"Yeah, I agree. It wouldn't be Team Austin without you." He commented.

"And of course, Austin is getting dragged into Ashley's little game." I touched the necklace that Austin gave me. "He promised me that he wouldn't change."

"Well, look where he is now." Trish sighed.

"Not here." Dez answered her. She smacked him in the back of the head.

"Thank you Captain Obvious."

"Actually, it's Catherine Obvious." He said, matter-of-factly. Trish and I both gave him weird looks.

"Catherine? I'm pretty sure it's Captain, Dez." I told him. He stood up and walked to the refridgerator.

"Catherine can be a captain!" He cried out. We all bursted out laughing. The lock on the door clicked and Austin walked in. Our laughing stopped right then. Trish and Dez turned away and I just looked down.

"Hey guys." Austin said to us. We all mumbled a 'hi' back, but said nothing else. He walked over to the fruit basket and grabbed an apple. "So, what have you guys been doing?"

"Stuff." Trish said, no emotion showed.

"Okay, then." He turned to me. "Ally, what have you been doing?"

"Hmm, I don't know, maybe writing songs for you, WITHOUT your help?" I shot up and walked to the Music Room of the penthouse and started playing with the keys. A few minutes later, Austin walked in.

"Hey, Ally, look I'm sorry that I haven't been around. It's just that Jimmy wants to do stuff for publicity, you know?" He explained. Without turning around and looking at him, I said,

"Yeah, sure, Jimmy wants you to."

"It's just... complicated." He insisted. I turned around.

"How?" I asked. "How is it so complicated? How hard is it to just spend maybe an hour or two with me writing a song for YOU! Not me, you, Austin."

"Ally I-"

"I can't write it all by myself you know." I sighed. "It's like you do want to replace me."

His face turned to panic. "No no no no, Ally, no no no. I never ever want to replace you."

"Well, you had a funny way of showing it." I mumbled. He sat down beside me.

"How about, later today, we, that means me and you and ONLY me and you, write a song. Stay up all night, if we have to. Like old times?" He suggested. I slowly looked at him.

"Like old times?" He nodded. I thought about it for a second and then I smiled a little. "Alright. Meet me here at 7:30 and we can get started for a new billboard #1."

Austin englufed me in a hug and I laughed. "It's so great to hear you laugh, Alls." He whispered in my ear.
"Oh, Jimmy wants us to meet him at Myra's on Sunday. I have to sing my song then." I informed him.

"You have a song ready?" He asked. I shrugged.

"Almost."

"Can I hear it?" I shook my head.

"Nope." I made a popping sound for the 'p'. "You'll have to wait until tomorrow. You are coming right?"

"Psh, duh!" He chuckled. Then his phone buzzed. He opened up his text and got up. "I gotta go Alls. I gotta meet-"

"Ashley." I answered for him. He put his phone back in his pocket.

"Hey. It's only for an hour or two." Austin opened the door. "I'll be here, I promise."

"You better." I playfully warned him. He smiled and said bye.

6:50...

It's almost 7:00 and Austin's still not back yet. Relax, Ally. He still has 40 minutes. He's coming. I told myself. I paced around in my room. Finally, I grabbed my brown leather bound book and carefully stepped down the stairs. Sometimes going up and down this thing, makes me so dizzy.

"Hey Dez?" I asked the red-head.

"Yeah?" He replied, not looking up from what he was doing. Which was decorating a new gingerbread man, since Trish ate, Melanie, this morning.

"Has Austin come back yet?"

"No, why?"

"Just asking. We're supposed to write a song together in like," I checked the time, 7:00. "half an hour."

"Maybe he's just running late." He reasoned. I looked out the window.

"Yeah, I hope he is just running late." I stared out at the boardwalk. "Oh, happy early birthday Dez!"

"Thanks, Ally." He finally looked up and smiled. I opened the door to the Music Room and sat on the bench. I glanced at the music note clock on the wall, it read, 7:10. 10 more minutes. I sighed and began listing good lines.

The next time I looked at the clock it was, 8:30. I offically was pissed off at Austin. I dug my phone out of my bag in the corner and angrilly pressed the buttons.

To: Austin Moon

From: Ally Dawson

Forgotten something, Austin? -Ally

With no response for another hour, I decided to forget it and went to bed. But I didn't go to sleep just yet. I gazed out my open window. Suddenly my door opened.

"Ally? You awake?" Austin whispered. I pretended that I was asleep. There was a long pause. "I guess you're not. I know you're probably not listening to this, but I'm really sorry." Then he closed my door slowly. A single tear rolled down my cheek and onto my pillow.

Austin's POV- (bet you didn't see that coming)

"Ashley, I really gotta go. Ally is waiting for me." I tried to get out of her grip. But she only whined more.

"C'mon, Austy!" I hated it when she called me that. "Just stay for a little while longer. Unless, you know, you want me to tell Jimmy."

I sighed. "Fine." I gritted my teeth.

After about an hour of dancing and talking with other people, my phone buzzed in my pocket.

To: Austin Moon

From: Ally Dawson

Forgotten something, Austin? -Ally

SHIT! I completely forgot about it! I got up and ran around the house looking for Ashley. Why did I ever give her my keys?

"ASHLEY!" I hollered to her, once I finally found her.

"What?" She replied.

"I need my keys." I told her. She picked up her back and held it close to her.

"Why? We're not leaving yet." She insisted.

"Goddammit, Ashley give me my fucking keys!" I snapped. She jumped at my sudden outburst and rumaged through her back. The keys jingled when she handed them to me. I sprinted out of the room.

"Wait! You're just gonna leave me here?" Ashley shouted. But I really didn't care right now. I started the engine. And just my luck, I get stuck in traffic. I slammed my fist onto the steering wheel. An hour of constant beeping my horn, I finally get to the building. I dashed up the elevator and pressed our floor so many times that the button almost broke.

I scrambled out and inserted the room key in the key hole and turned it. I opened the door and ran in. The lights were off in the living room and so were the ones in the kitchen. I walked up to Ally's room and opened the door carefully, just in case she was asleep. She was laying on her bed, breathing slowly and facing her window.

"Ally? You awake?" I whispered. She didn't reply or even shift. "I guess you're not. I know you're probably not listening to this, but I'm really sorry."

There was another silence and I sighed. I closed her door and ran my hand in my hair. I walked into the Music Room and I stepped closer to the piano. I saw that there were papers on top. And there was a note.

Here you go, Austin. You know, this isn't like the old times. -Ally

And there, underneath the note, was a song. Finished.

Tsk tsk Austin. Just tsk tsk. Shame on you! oh! Shout out to HG Just Because, did you see your name? lol

Like it? Hate it? Was it boring? Please Review! Review! Review!

I'm posting Chapter 6 on Sunday! Or tomorrow, but idk if I can tomorrow because I'm hanging out with friends.
