A/N: Sorry for the long wait. The song I used here is called What If by Adrienne Bailon.

I'm writing in my book when Trish walks into my room. "Hey, Ally. What are you doing?" Trish asks as she sits down next to me in my window seat.

"Hey, I'm just writing out some lyrics."

"Is it something new for Austin?" Trish asks as she tries to lean over and read what I'm writing, I quickly shut my book and stuff it behind the cushion next to me.

"No, it's something more personal."

"Okay, so what did you want to talk to me about?"

"I'm just waiting for Austin and Dez. Need to tell you when we're all together."

"Speaking of Austin, so how is everything going with the two of you? Everything you thought it would be?"

I blush and smile. "Yeah, Austin is so sweet."

"Ally-cat!" I hear my mom call me.

Trish and I head downstairs and into the kitchen. "Yeah, mom?"

"Hi, Mrs Dawson." Trish says as we both sit down at the counter.

"Hey, Trish. When did you get here?"

"Not too long ago. Mr Dawson let me in."

"I wanted to know if you wanted a brownie."

Trish and I both reach for a brownie and I give my mom a thumbs-up after tasting it. Austin and Dez both bound in, out of breath.

"YES! I win!" Dez fist pumps. Trish and I give Austin and Dez give an eye roll.

"Hi, Mrs Dawson." Austin says as he pecks me on the cheek.

"Hi, Austin and Dez. Would you two like a brownie?"

"Yes, thank you, Mrs Dawson." Dez says as him and Austin reaches for brownies.

"Well, I will leave you four to it." My mom says as she places two brownies on a saucer and heads outside, a nature journal in hand.

"So, what's going on?" Dez says as he continuously nudges me.

"I.. I.." I stutter as I look down at my hands.

Austin puts his arm around me and gives me a reassuring squeeze. "Ally has the opportunity for a record deal." He says to Trish and Dez.

"That's so great!" Trish exclaims.

"Way to go, Team Ally!" Dez shouts as him and Trish high-five.

"There's just one problem. The record label wants me to move to Los Angeles; because that is where they are based."

Trish and Dez exchange worried looks while Austin pulls me in for a hug.

Maybe this was meant to be
Maybe now it should be me
Been dreaming of this forever
But I'm feeling so confused
It's hard to see what's right
Between you and I
And I don't know what to do

Oh. We'd stay together always is the promise we made
But suddenly it's not so clear
And I'm being pulled both ways
And it's breaking my heart, tearing me apart
It's impossible to choose
What if I don't try,
What if I do
Everything that I've dreamed right in front of me
If I win what would I lose
How could I learn to live wondering what if

Oh ooh. Things would never be the same
No no, maybe that's the price of fame
Been waiting for this forever
It's close enough for me to touch
But if I don't go for it, I might always regret
But is it worth us breaking up

Oh. We'd stay together always is the promise we made
(Promise we made)
But suddenly it's not so clear
And I don't know what to take
And it's breaking my heart, tearing me apart
It's impossible to choose
What if I don't try,
What if I do (What if I do)
Everything that I've dreamed right in front of me
If I win what would I lose
How can I learn to live wondering,

What if I would have tried, I could shine even fly
I don't want to realize after it's too late no ooh,
and see it all pass me by,
If I could, if I don't, will I ever really know,
what the future could hold, before it slips away
Could be the chance of a lifetime

And it's breaking my heart, tearing me apart,
It's impossible to choose
what if I don't try, what if I do
Every dream that I dream, right in front of me
If I win, what would I lose
How could I learn to, live wondering what if
I'm never wanna say, what if

Austin sits down beside me at the laptop. I know he was listening to me sing the entire time; it has become more of a regular thing between us now that we are dating. I even occasionally let him touch my precious book; since most of the diary entries tend to be about him anyway.

"Ally, if this is something that you really want, you should go for it. This is your chance, you have supported me the past year and a half and I will do the same for you. I don't want you to leave, but I know you have dreams too and I can't stand in your way."

"What about Team Austin?"

"We will still be Team Austin but maybe Team Ally as well."

"What about your songs?"

"I don't know, surely the record label will still let you write songs for me." Austin turns to look at me with wide eyes. "Unless you don't want to anymore."

"Of course, Austin."

"Awesome." Austin fist pumps while I smile.

"Wait, of course you will still write songs for me or of course, you won't wanna write songs for me anymore?"

"Of course, I will still write songs for you, Austin Monica Moon."

"Oh! You had to bring in the middle name!" Austin says as he reaches over to me and begins to tickle me.

"Austin! Stop!" I say in between giggles. Austin stops tickling me and I try to wriggle away from him but he refuses to let go of my waist. He pulls me towards him and kisses me soundly on the lips; I wrap my arms around his neck and lean into the kiss.

Austin and I pull apart when we hear a cough. I blush crimson and look down at my hands when I see my mom standing at the door, smirking at us.
