I know that this was a while back but did anyone else see the Live Stream? OhMyStars, I died laughing. They're all so perfect! They talked about Auslly and Raura! Ross looked so annoyed when Laura and Raini said that it stood for 'Raini and Laura'. hahaha he wanted it to be him and Laura only. They kept arguing like an old married couple. xD
Quick thing, CALLMEVEE, did Laura see your tweet? Because she tried to say Weronika and I automatically thought of you. Lol. Just wondering.
*********BIG NEWS AT THE BOTTOM!**********
The story isn't over YET! This is the last chapter. L Honestly, this was one of my favorite stories to write. Thank you for all the reviews! You all make it worth while.
~Chapter 10~
Last time…
"She took you away from me! And she took my fame!"
"You never had me, Ashley. I always loved Ally, no matter how many times you tried to convince me that I was just feeling bad, Ally was always the one." Just then, guns clicked and Ashley spun around, and the police were aiming their guns. She let go of Ally and slowly raised her hands. Ally bolted for me and I cuddled her in my arms. They took Ashley away and Ally began to sob again.
"Austin, I was so scared." She said into my chest. "I know that I'm supposed to be mad at you. You were a complete ass for doing all this stuff. Standing me up, treating us like crap, not showing up for the meeting with Jimmy-"
"Ally." I quieted her down. She looked up at me. "You talk way too much." I chuckled and leaned down. I pressed my lips against hers and that part of my that felt like something was missing suddenly turned complete.
I kept kissing her like I need it in order to live, which I did need her. I needed her more than I could ever tell her. I instantly felt her kiss back. I quickly placed my hands on her cheeks, which were wet, probably from crying. Everything around us just stood still and we were the only two people on this planet.
"Austin-" She began again, but I cut her off.
"Alls, it's my turn," I informed her. She nodded and signaled me to continue. "I-I don't even know where to begin. I know that I can't say sorry enough times for all the things that I did to you. It's not like me and I'm so ashamed of it all." I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "Fame got into my head and blocked me from reality. I broke the most important promise that I've ever made in my entire life and hurt you in the process. I could never forgive myself for that. Ally, you're the most important person to me in the entire world. I-"
"And has anyone tell you that you talk to much?" She asked me, laughing. I smiled slightly and shrugged.
"So does that mean, I'm forgiven?" I questioned. Ally sighed and shrugged.
"I forgive you, Austin. But, what you did, I can't forget it that easily." She said, honestly.
"I completely understand, Ally." I replied. "As long as you forgive me, I'll be happy because I can't stand not seeing you and being mad at me." I hugged her once again and she hugged me tighter.
After that, the paramedics came by and suggested that Ally came with them. At first, she was unsure.
"It's okay, Alls. I'll be right behind you." I reassured her. She hesitated before letting go of my hand. As she started walking, Ally looked back to make sure that I really was following. She smiled when I gave her an 'it's gonna be okay, I promise' look. This promise I kept.
I continued to follow her until we got to the ambulance. One of the paramedics held up a hand.
"Sorry, son, only family and close relatives can be allowed in the truck with the patient." He said, sternly. I looked over at Ally, who was sitting on the gurney. She eyes had a hint of worry in them.
"Alls," I caught her attention. "I have to ride in my own car, but I swear, I will meet you at the hospital, okay? I'll be the first one there." She nodded slowly and the guy closed the door. I turned and walked back to Dez, Trish, Isabelle and Ryan.
"Is she okay?" Isabelle asked anxiously.
"Yeah, she's gonna fine. We just need to get to the hospital. They just need to make sure that she doesn't have anything that we don't want in her." I informed them.
"Okay, that's good." Ryan added.
"Oh God, I was so worried." Trish sighed.
We all got into our separate rides and made our way to the hospital. All of us walked into the lobby of the hospital. I gave a little shiver. I've always hated doctors' offices and hospitals, they give me the creeps. I mean, think about all that's happened here. But anyways, I'm not here for me, I'm here for my Ally.
"Hi," Chirped the lady behind the reception desk. "How may I help you kids?"
"Hello," We all greeted.
"We're looking for Ally Dawson?" I asked her. I watched her stare at the screen of the computer and click the mouse a few times. I tapped my finger impatiently on the counter top. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked over and realized that it was Isabelle's hand.
"Relax." She mouthed. I sighed and nodded hesitantly. Finally, the woman spoke up.
"Oh, yes," She turned her head back towards us. "Allyson Dawson. She's getting x-rays right now, she looked pretty beat up. Poor girl, I could tell she went through a lot in a few days. She's going to be in there for a about 10 more minutes, but you all can wait in the waiting room right outside her hospital room. I'm sure her doctor will let you in as soon as she's finished."
"Thank you," Dez thanked the woman and she returned a gentle smile. She gave us the room number and the 5 of us slowly made our way to it.
It wasn't until exactly 10 minutes later that the doctor came outside of the room. Our heads snapped up and the doctor looked around at us. "Are you friends of Ally Dawson?"
"Yes, sir," Ryan answered. The doctor took off her glasses and sighed deeply. Suddenly, my heart started beating a mile a minute.
"No. No no no no! Please don't tell me she…" I couldn't finish my sentence. I was on the brink of tears. She held up a hand, shook her head and smiled.
"Easy there, hon," She reassured me. "Ally is going to be fine. She's badly bruised around her shoulders and arms and a couple of broken ribs and wrist, but she's going to be just fine. She asked me to send you in when I saw you."
We all took a step forward. Again, she stood in front of us, blocking the door. "No, I mean, you." She gestured right to me. I tensed up as a ton of questions raced through my mind. What was I going to say to Ally? Was she going to yell at me? Should I tell her how I feel? But I've never been really good at that. Well here goes nothing. I turned the door knob and slowly and quietly stepped into the room.
"Ally?" I said quietly. I fully came into the room and shut the door behind me. I finally saw her laying on the bed, asleep. Her breathing was slow and I saw her left wrist was wrapped in that stretchy cloth.(A/N: I don't really know what it's called. I've never really broken a bone before. Anyways, back to the story.) I walked over to her and sat in the chair beside the bed. I took her hand and stroked it with my thumb. I smiled, but that quickly disappeared. I had did this to her. If I hadn't gotten so caught up with the fame, she wouldn't be here. We all wouldn't be. But then again, maybe this happened for a reason, maybe it was for me to realize what I could've lost if I had lost sight of who I really am and who I love.
I was brought out of deep thought when I felt Ally stir in her blankets. She shivered, but her eyes were still closed. I pulled up the thin blanket closer to her shoulders and smiled. She looked so much like an angel, no make-up, even with bruises and all. All this time, through my stubbornness and arrogance, she had never lost faith in me. She knew who I really was and saw past my stupid little short-term act. All this time, she was still Ally. She was my Ally.
"Austin?" She faintly whispered, slowly beginning to open her eyes. I caressed her hair.
"Shh, Alls," I shushed her, gently. "You need to rest."
"Austin," Her voice was still shaky. "I-I don't want you to leave."
"I'm not going anywhere, Ally," I assured her. "I'm not going anywhere. I won't leave you, not this time." She smiled that smile that I'd always loved seeing and fell back asleep. I held her hand for the rest of the time, until everyone else came into the room.
"Austin," Trish started, she laid a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at her.
"Dude, we gotta go home." Dez added. I shook my head.
"No, I'm not leaving Ally. I promised her I wouldn't leave her. I can't and won't break another promise to her." I insisted. I saw Isabelle smile and Ryan nod knowingly. Trish and Dez exchanged looks.
"I know, Austin. I know." Trish said. "But, visiting hours are over, and if we don't leave, they won't let us in anymore.(1) The doctor said that Ally could leave in 2 days."
I took one last look at Ally. Her chest moved up and down and I walked over to her. I leaned down and kiss her forehead carefully, since she was so fragile right now. Behind me, I heard Trish and Isabelle say 'aw'. "I'll be back tomorrow, Alls. I promise." I whispered to her.
I drove in silence all the way home. By the time I had gotten to the penthouse, Trish and Dez had said that they were going to sleep. We said goodnight and I changed into my shorts and white t-shirt.
I laid in bed, wide awake. I kept thinking about Ally and everything that has happened. Who knew that all of this happened because of fame? It killed me that I'm a big cause in all of this. I don't think that Ally would ever forget about this once she's fully healed. I don't think I can tell her that I love her straight forward. I had to think of something better.
I scrambled out of my bed and went into Ally's room. Maybe I could get some inspiration from her songbook. I know, I know. No one is allowed to touch her book, but she told me a couple of months ago, that if I ever had the urge to write a song and was lacking inspiration, that I could look in her book for her random lyric splurges.
"Ally, I can't do this!" I had whined to her. She laughed and sat next to me on the piano bench in our infamous practice room.
"C'mon Austin. I know you can do this! I believe in you!" She encouraged. I tapped my pencil on the wood of the upright. After 5 minutes of nothing, I leaned on the keys, causing them to make an unpleasant outburst of tones.
"I don't understand how you do this, Alls." I admitted. She laughed again.
"Here, if this helps," Ally picked up her brown leather bound book and handed it to me. At first, I didn't take it.
"But, Ally," I said. "That's your BOOK. The book that no one is allowed to touch. Especially me, consider the last time I looked at your book."
Ally giggled and shook her head. "But that was 3 years ago, and Dallas isn't here now is he? Plus, it wouldn't matter, I don't like him anymore. And if I wanted anyone to look in my book, it would be someone I trust a lot, especially you."
"Alright," I said uneasily. I hesitantly took her book. "Wow Ally, these are really good. How come you've never used these before?"
"I haven't really found the right occasion to finish them." She shrugged as she watched me flip through more pages. "Oh, and if this helps anymore, you should think about someone you really care about. That usually helps me."
The memory flashed back to me as I flipped to a page that Ally had folded a corner of. On the page, were a few lines in Ally's neat handwriting.
"See I can't wake up,
I'm living a nightmare,
That keeps playing over again."
This. This might work. I took the book into the music room and started playing around with some chords.
The next morning, I woke up to my phone ringing.
"Hello?" I said, groggily in the phone.
"Austin!" Jimmy's voice echoed through.
"Oh, hey, Jimmy." I said, still half asleep.
"How's Ally doing?" He asked me.
"She's still in the hospital, she's coming back tomorrow."
"That's good." Jimmy said. I heard one of his assistants in the back round. "Okay, listen Austin, I gotta go. I'll see you soon."
"Jimmy, wait!" I sat up straight. "Could you do me a favor?"
"Sure, Austin, name it." He said. I smiled.
The Next Day…
"Hey, Alls." I smiled down at her and she sat up straight and opened up her arms for a hug. I leaned down and wrapped my arms around her. She nestled her head into my neck.
"Austin," She said to me, pulling away. "I'm so ready to get out of this place."
I laughed. "Glad you're still the same old Ally."
She frowned at me. "I'm not the same Ally I used to be, Austin." I nodded.
"I know, Alls." I moved a hair from her face. "Hey, I have a surprise for you."
"You do?" Her mouth curved into a smile. "What is it?"
"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?" I smirked. She folded her arms and pouted. "Well, that's not Ally's pretty face."
"No, it's not." She mumbled. "When can I see it?"
"Later today, but for now, let's get you home." I helped her stand up from the bed and we both walked to the elevator. Downstairs, I checked Ally out of the hospital and I carefully drove the both of us home.
I unlocked the front door and led Ally inside.
"Why is it so dark in here?" She asked, feeling around for the light switch.
"Well, excuse me for trying to save energy." I said sarcastically. She laughed and flipped the switch.
"WELCOME HOME, ALLY!" Everyone jumped up from behind their hiding places. She jumped and covered her mouth.
"Oh my gosh, guys, thank you so much!" She hugged everyone.
"Well, you haven't been home in a while and we all missed a little bit of Ally." Dez softly squeezed her.
"Yeah, especially Austin." Isabelle nudged me. I blushed and they all laughed, even Ally. It was great to hear her laugh again.
"This was the best surprise ever!" Ally exclaimed. We all looked at each other. "What?"
"That wasn't the surprise, Ally. Well, at least, the bigger part of the surprise." Ryan told her.
"Well, then what is it?" She asked.
Later that day…
Ally's POV-
"Austin, what are we doing here?" I asked him as we had walked along the loose sand of the beach.
"Just wait. You'll see." He said. All day long, ever since I got out of the hospital, everyone's been acting all suspicious. He guided me to a stage and we both went back stage by the stairs. "Austin?"
"Ally, don't worry, it's coming."
"What's coming?" Suddenly, the lights turned on and a roar from the crowd echoed through the location. "What's going on?"
"Just-Just follow me," He started up the stairs. Step by step, we made our way up to the platform. The curtains were still hiding us from the crowd. Austin made me sit on a stool. "Wait here." He disappeared to the other side of the curtain. "What's up, Malibu!" I heard his voice boom from the microphone. "I would like to sing a song that I had written."
Austin wrote a song?
"It's about someone really special in my life and how I had almost lost her," Just then the curtains exposed me sitting on the stool and I heard several gasps and as well as a few 'awe's. Austin walked over to me and took my hand. "Ally, I know that because of what happened, things would never be normal with us anymore. But who ever said that things were normal for us anyways?" That got a couple of laughs from the audience, including me. Then, Austin got a nervous look on his face. Austin never got nervous. "I-I had realized something really important. You know me well enough to know that I'm not very good at expressing my feelings, so I decided to tell you through the one thing that we both understand completely. I wrote a song for you, well half of it at least. And I want you to sing it with me."
Again, the crowd broke out into cheers. "But, Austin, I don't know the song." I told him.
"It's okay, I think you already know how it goes." He reassured me. He played the first few notes and I instantly knew what song it was. His band started backing it up with a beat.
(Ausitn-Bold, Ally-Italics, Both-Bold/Italics)
See I can't wake up.
I'm living a nightmare.
That keeps playing over again.
Locked in a room, so hung up on you.
And you're cool with just being friends.
Left on the sidelines, stuck at a red light.
Waiting for my time, And I can't see
I joined in with Austin, holding the microphone I was handed up to my mouth.
Why don't you love me?
Touch me?
Tell me I'm your everything.
The air you breath.
And why don't you love me?
Baby, open up your heart tonight
'Cause I can be all that you need,
Oh, why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
See I'm just too scared,
To tell you the truth,
'Cause my heartache can't take it anymore.
Broken and bruised.
Longing for you
And I don't know what I'm waiting for.
Left on the sidelines, Stuck at a red light
Waiting for my time,
So just tell me
Why don't you love me?
Touch me?
Tell me I'm your everything,
The air you breath
And why don't you love me?
Baby! Open up your heart tonight,
'Cause I can be all that you need.
Oh!
Why don't you give me a reason? (give me a reason)
Please tell me the truth. (Please tell me the truth)
You know that I'll keep believing (I'll keep believing)
'Till I'm with you.
Why don't you love me?
Kiss me?
I can feel your heart tonight
It's killing me
So why don't you love me?
Touch me?
Tell me I'm your everything,
The air you breath
And why don't you love me?
Baby! Open up your heart tonight
'Cause I could be all that you need.
Oh, Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Yeah,
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me? (2)
Austin and I smiled at each other widely once the music stopped. We were brought out of our little moment by the crowd going wild. Austin took my hand and we both bowed. After that, we didn't let go of each other's hand.
"You guys were amazing!" Someone from the crowd managed to shout out louder than the rest.
"Best song ever!"
"You guys are perfect for each other!"
They comments just kept coming. Austin looked at me and smiled. I stared into his eyes and they sparkled in the stage lights.
"Just kiss her already!" A voice shouted. Clearly, it was Trish. I looked down, blushing. Only finding my face being cupped by Austin soon afterwards and his lips met mine. With that, everything around me disappeared. My arms snaked their way around Austin's neck and shoulders. One of his hands left my cheek and went around my waist, pulling me closer to him. And I hate air so much, but we eventually pulled away. I bit my lower lip and Austin smiled at me. He rested his forehead against mine.
Then reality hit us. The crowd was even louder than before, they were all cheering. I laughed as I hugged Austin tightly. "Ally, I love you."
"I love you, too, Austin." I said to him. His grin got even wider.
"No, but I really mean it. I've never loved anyone or anything more than you. And I realized that a little too late." He slightly frowned. I kissed his cheek.
"Hey, stop blaming yourself for this. On the bright side, if it wasn't for this, we wouldn't be together." I reminded him. He nodded.
"But I swear, for the rest of my life, as long as you love me, I will never let fame do this to us ever again." Austin brought his face closer to mine again. "Turn around." And so I did. I felt him place something around my neck. I looked down and sure enough, it was the necklace that he had given me nearly a month ago, way before we had known all of this would happen. And because of this little necklace, I knew now that what Austin had said, he really did mean it. That he would never let fame change him and I believed him.
And this my friends, is where the curtains close on this story. So what'd you think? I think it turned out pretty well. I'm really sorry that it took so long to upload. It was mostly due to my lack of inspiration, school work, and just pure laziness. This is the longest chapter I've ever written! *Does the Happy Dance*
(1) I don't think they actually do that. I'm sure that they would allow people to visit again the next day if they did that, but just for the sake of the story, let's just say that they do that.
(2) Why Don't You Love My by Hot Chelle Rae Ft. Demi Lovato. I know I used this song for the final chapter of F.O.J.P.C. too, but I thought that it fitted this situation more than it did there.
******THE BIG NEWS*******
I am thinking about writing a sequel to F.O.J.P.C. I'm not completely certain that I will write it for sure, but I do have some ideas about what would be likely to happen. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Keep an eye out for it!
Review one more time? Please?
Xoxo
