What should she do?
Well enough about my friends complicated love lif. Here's the story.
Chapter 1
The phone call
No one's POV
*ring ring*
Ally picks up the phone hoping it is Austin. She left his house three days ago & hasn't heard from him since.
Ally (a): hello?
Austin (m): hey ally it's me, Austin.
A: hey Austin how are you doing?
M: much better. I wanted to ask you something.
A: ok
M: do you wanna meet me at the tree house?
A: sure. When should we meet?
M: how about in an hour.
A: ok. I'll be there.
M: it's a date!
He hung up
A date? Ally thought
1 hour later
Ally's POV
I walked through the tall grass until I found the tree house we stumbled on. I knew Austin was up there already. I was ten min late because I got lost trying to get here. I could hear a guitar playing from up in the tree house.
I climbed the ladder as quietly as I could and peaked through the hatch. Austin was sitting in the corner of the tree house playing an acoustic guitar. He was just playing a random melody but he was really good.
When he was done I fully entered the tree house & started clapping. He looked up obviously startled.
"Hey, ally. When did you get here?" he asked sitting his guitar off to the side.
"Not long ago. You're really good."
"I love to perform. But I'm not that good, am I?"
"You are!"
"If only I could write songs. Hey maybe you could write songs for me! You said you loved to write songs."
"I'm not sure."
"Come on ally, pleeaaaaaasssssseeee?" he begged & gave me the puppy dog face. I couldn't say no to that face.
"Oh, fine"
"Yea!"He shouted & jumped up and down.
"Austin stop! This thing could fall or you could you could hurt yourself."
"Oh" he said sadly. He sat back down.
"Hey how about after this we head over to my place?"
"Sure"
"Anyway that's not why I wanted to talk to you here in private. I wanted to thank you in person."
"For what?"
"For helping me."
"Don't worry about it."
"No, I needed to thank you. Without you I might've blacked out in the middle of the street. After you left, I got worse. My brother had to take me to the hospital. I wasn't out of the woods until early yesterday morning. They released me just last night. Without you I would've been way worse than I was. But they caught the problem just in time."
"OMG Austin. You had to go to the hospital. What was wrong?"
"I….. Don't wanna talk about it. It makes me uncomfortable."
"It's ok. If it's that bad, I don't wanna know."
"Anyway you probably saved my life. I just had to say thanks in person."
I could tell what happened scared him. He looked upset & uncomfortable. I went over, sat next to him, & hugged him. "It's ok. It's all over now."
He stood up. "Let's head to my house now."
"Ok" I said. I stood up & we exited the tree house. When we got to his house I saw his sister Jessica and another guy that also looked a lot like Austin In the front yard.
"Ally, you remember my sister Jessica. And this is my oldest brother Jacob."
"Hi"
"Thanks for helping my little brother" Jacob said.
"No problem." I said.
"Come on ally. Let's go up to my room before my brother embarrasses me"
Austin took me inside and led me to his room.
"You know, you have some nice instruments In here. If only it wasn't so messy."
"Hey!"
"Austin, have you ever actually written a song before?"
"Once. But I don't sing it that much. It's not that good and I don't really think it's something other people would really care about."
"Will you show me?"
"No"
" Please"
"No"
"Come on Austin. Pleeeaaaaaasssssseeeeeee?" this time I gave him the puppy dog face and he caved.
"Oh fine." He went and grabbed his guitar. He sat down and started playing.
A/n this song is things aren't always what they seem by Keke palmer. It was originally a duet with max Schneider but in this case it is only sung by Austin. It also was originally played in piano but in here its played on the guitar.
[Verse 1]
It's hard enough to find the time to sleep
It's easier to find the time to dream
Another night spent too far from the stars
Things Aren't Always What They Seem
It's hard enough to find my place at home
It's easier out here on my own
A father's love is no such thing I know
Things Aren't Always What They Seem
[Chorus]
Oh Things Aren't Always What They Seem
Things Aren't Always What They Seem
To be and I just hope your memory's proud of me
I might cry myself to sleep
And imagine that you're here with me
[Verse 2]
It's hard enough to find someone to trust
It's easier to live life scared to love
A mother's touch is going way too soon
Things Aren't Always What They Seem
[Chorus]
No Things Aren't Always What They Seem
Things Aren't Always What They Seem
To be and I just hope your memory's proud of me
I might cry myself to sleep
And imagine that you're here with me
[Verse 3]
You're not really that much different
From me
Oh I've got everything it seems but what I need
Oh won't you tell me what you see when you look at me
When you look at me
[Chorus]
No Things Aren't Always What They Seem
Things Aren't Always What They Seem
To be and I just hope your memory's proud of me
I might cry myself to sleep
And imagine that you're here with me
When Austin stops singing he looks down at his feet. I look at his face. It looks sad and hurt. I see a single tear roll down his cheek. I go kneel down next to him.
"Austin?" I said in a concerning voice. He looked so vulnerable at that moment. I've never seen him like that before. "That song was great. Why are you so sad?
"Because it's all true." He said in a muffled voice as he started to break down even harder.
