Wednesday March 13th, 2013- Marino High School
Ally's POV
I woke up, feeling exhausted. Austin and I had talked on the phone for almost 2 hours last night, we would've talked longer, but Ed yelled at Austin, telling him to 'end the call and go to sleep, because he was tired.' I got up and walked into my bathroom, taking a quick shower. When I got out I began looking through my clothes.
"I'm just not even going to try." I said to myself, and picked out a pair of black sweatpants and a mint green long sleeve shirt. I put on tennis shoes, and pulled my hair in a bun, braided up the back(1). I grabbed my book bag and walked downstairs, seeing my dad drinking coffee, on his laptop. "Hey, daddy!" I said, grabbing an apple, and a water bottle, to keep in my book bag.
"Hey, sweetheart, you driving yourself today?" he asked. Normally Austin picked me up, but clearly he's not here right now. I nodded, taking a bite into my apple. Walking over to the bowl where we keep out keys, I walked outside to my car.
"BYE, DAD!" I shouted, closing the door behind me.
"BYE," he shouted.
I got in my car, and turned the radio on, I don't know about you, but I'm feelin 22, everything will be alright—
"-if you keep me next to you..." I sang along to the song on the radio, that belong to Austin's tour mate (2).
"And that was 22, by Taylor Smith! She starts her tour today, so make sure you look for when she's coming to your city! She has great people with her! In fact, this next song is by one of her opening acts. Here's Lego House, by Ed Shear(3)." The tune flowed through the speakers, but by the time he got to the chorus, I had already pulled into the school parking lot. I parked and walked over to my locker.
"Hey, Ally!" I turned to hear a voice calling me. I turned to see Chelsea, holding hands with a boy who looked oddly familiar.
"Oh, hey Chelsea, and…?" I turned to the boy.
"Drew. I rung you guys up at Hollister(4) a couple months, ago. I didn't think you'd remember me," he said with a smile. He held his hand out for me to shake it.
"OH YEAH!" I exclaimed. "I knew you looked familiar!"
"Drew just transferred here yesterday, I was going to introduce him, but you weren't here. Where were you?" Chelsea asked.
"Oh," I said, "Austin left yesterday, so him and I spent the day together."
"Oh," she said.
"It's cool! He's living a dream, and he'll be back next month for the Miami show."
"That's good!" The bell rang, signaling we had 6 minutes to get to our next class. "I gotta get to class, but I'll see you in 3rd hour?"
"Yeah," I smiled.
*LINE BREAK* Still Ally's POV- Ally's Bedroom
The school day had flown by and now I was sitting in my room, doing my homework, when my phone rang. Austin's voice came through the speaker.
"Hey, Ally," he said. I put my pencil down, and leaned back on my pillow, cuddling a different one.
"Hey," I said, "How's it going so far?"
"Great, I'm actually in my dressing room right now, were about to start the meet and greet." I looked over at my clock 6:58, I said. He was in Nebraska, which was two hours behind, so it was almost 5 there. That must be the meet and greet time.
"Cool, are you nervous?" I teased.
"Nah, I'm so excited!" I laughed. He's probably jumping up and down right now.
"Austin? You ready?" I heard a voice coming from the background.
"Who's that?"
"Just Taylor, Yeah, I'll be down in a sec."
"Who are you on the phone with?"
"Ally." I heard a small shriek, and then a…
"Hey! Give me my phone back!"
"HI ALLY!" I heard her voice a little more clear now, so I assumed she was closer to the phone.
"Hi Taylor!" I said, "How are you?"
"I'm gre—AUSITN! I just wanna talk to her for a sec!" I laughed when I heard Austin start to whine.
"B-but I was talking to her first! She's my girlfriend!"
"Whatever. Ugh, Ally, your boyfriend's being a baby." I laughed.
"Hey!"Austin shouted defensively.
"I guess I'll give the phone back to him," I heard Taylor sigh, jokingly.
"Okay," I was laughing, "I'll talk to you later."
"Goooooooshh!" I heard Austin sigh, "this is the part where I sadly say, I have to go, so…I should probably go." I heard him say.
"Yeah, you do have an obligation to fill. Just don't go kissing any fans girls," I joked.
"Why would I when I have you to kiss?" I smiled.
"Bye, Austin."
"I'll talk to you after my show."
"K, good luck."
"Thanks. Bye," I waited for him to hang up, but the static on the phone kept humming.
"Austin?"
"Yeah?"
"You can hang up."
"But I want you to hang up first."
"No, we are NOT getting into that argument like annoying couples do." I said. I heard him laugh.
"Okay, well just hang up at the same time."
"Okay." After another short play argument, Austin's phone ended up randomly ending the call, somebody probably came and hung up for him. I closed my phone, and went back to my homework.
*LINE BREAK* Austin's POV – Austin's dressing room
"THANK YOU OMAHA! Next up, we got ED SHEAR," The crowd screamed at the mention of his name, "Then we got who you all came for, TAYLOR SMITH!" I shouted into the mic, the crowd was amazing, singing along at the top of their lungs. I was awed by them. "Have a great night! You've got a great show ahead!" I said, before I walked offstage, ending my set. I walked over to my dressing room; passing Taylor's who had her door open.
"They sound incredible!" I heard her say.
"They are," I cut into her conversation, she and her mom, who she was having the conversation with, both looked up. Taylor was dressed in her first stage outfit.
"Oh gosh! You're already done!" she exclaimed. I grinned and nodded.
"It was amazing, I've never performed for that many people. Your fans bring such an amazing atmosphere." She smiled.
"I know, they're amazing."
"Can't wait to see you perform, but for now, I'm going to go call Ally, hopefully, our conversation won't be interrupted." I joked, pointing a glare at Taylor, who just smiled at me and laughed.
"Gosh, they're so cute!" I heard her say to her mom, when I was walking down the hallway.
I reached my dressing room, taking a quick shower. I changed my clothes and dried my hair. I wasn't going to go out in public with wet hair. I picked up my cell phone and dialed the number I knew almost too well. I hope she wasn't sleeping.
"Hey Austin," a raspy voice filled the phone.
"Ally? Were you sleeping?" it was almost 10 o'clock there, so it would make sense that Ally would be sleeping.
"Yeah, but it's fine." I immediately felt guilty.
"Ally, I can call you back tomorrow?"
"No, Austin it's fine! How was the show?" I relaxed a little, and began walking towards my door, where a guard had knocked.
"You ready?"
"Was that Taylor again?" she asked. I laughed.
"No, it was just a guard who's going to take me out to the sound booth so I can watch Taylor's performance." I nodded at the guard and began to follow him, while still on the phone with Ally.
"The crowd sounds amazing, I can hear them through the phone," she said.
"I know," I said, "they were incredible. I can't describe how it felt to hear almost 14,000 people singing a song that we wrote together."
"I bet it's amazing," she said.
"It was." I had walked out on the floor, and by this time, a girl had noticed me. I was being ushered by the guard when a mob of girls had flooded me.
"Hold on a sec, Als." I said. I had stopped to take a few pictures with some of the girls, but I couldn't take many since the guard was pushing them back.
"Are you on the phone with Ally?"
"AUSTIN!"
"OH MY GOSH!"
"HI ALLY!"
I smiled at all of them, "Yeah I'm on the phone with her." I said to a couple of fans who I stopped to talk to. "You wanna say hi?"
"OH MY GOSH YES!" I held the phone up to her ear.
"Ally? Hi! No, Austin's right here, he said we could talk to you. Oh my gosh I love you so much!" I laughed and leaned to the phone back to my ear. I was ushered into the sound booth, and I waved to some other fans.
"Ally?"
"Yeah? Oh gosh, those girls were so cute,"
"I know." I continued talking to her for a few more minutes until Ed and Andrea came out. "I should probably go, Taylor's going on soon, and you're probably exhausted."
"No I'm-" she paused to yawn, "Okay, maybe I'm a little tired. Goodnight Austin."
"Night, babe." I hung up the phone, just as Taylor's show started. The lights went down, and her opening song began playing. The crowd screamed, and I just thought of Ally the whole song, because it described us perfectly.
And I never, saw you coming. And I'll never, be the same. (5)
