Ally fixed her hair in the mirror and tugged on her dress, making sure it clung to her body in all the right places. She could hear the fans screams vibrating through the concrete walls; she was amazed. Ally's guts were twisting. She was always nervous before a performance, but she didn't let it stop her because she knew the second she'd walk onto that stage, the anxiety would deflate and would be replaced with joy.
She was handed a microphone as she made her way towards the stage. On her way over, she saw her best-friend and manager, Trish, standing alongside of her was Dez, Trish's red-headed boyfriend. Ally grinned at them and gave a finger-wiggling wave as she passed them with a swift stride. She was offered a thumbs up in return.
A few of the stage crew members walked beside her, guiding her towards the stage. She was taking a deep breath, making sure her breaths were slow so she didn't overwhelm herself. She accepted the gentle pat on her back from her Mom and the kiss on her forehead from her Dad.
"Everything will be great tonight, remember to smile!" her Mom coached and Ally nodded, letting a smile immediately curl onto her lips. She could hear the nearly-too-loud music boom through the arena. She stayed in her place by the stairs and heard the intro of the song and the sound of her boyfriend's voice echoing, causing the screams of millions to get louder.
She waited for a few minutes, feeling the vicious bubble of anxiousness erupt in her belly. It was time like these where she sometimes wished she never had to perform, but she also knew that she would be fine, so she did her best to ignore the anxiety.
Then there was her queue: She used fast and wide strides up the stairs, feeling the last minute touches of hands on her dress before she was on the huge platform where she joined her boyfriend of one year on that stage.
The crowd gives a loud cheer when the spotlight shows her appearance, Ally puts the microphone to her lips and lets her voice flow, echoing and booming as it collided with the fans who were singing the words right back to her,
"We've been stuck now, so long, we just got the start wrong
One more last try, Imma get the ending right
You can't stop this, and I must insist
That you haven't had enough
You haven't had enough,"
Ally's face immediately brightens when she catches a glimpse of her blonde boyfriend who joins into the chorus:
"Stuck now, so long, we just got the start wrong
No more last place, you better get your story straight
You can't stop this, and I must insist
That you haven't had enough
You haven't had enough."
Ally knew it was all nothing to be afraid of; something she's constantly reminding herself through every performance she does. Though, when she was by herself on stage, there was always a little bit of anxiety that she carried in her performances, but now there was nothing, not even a little bit because her boyfriend was performing with her.
Austin and Ally had let go of their solo careers and had now become an act together. Now vanished is the phrase: She writes and he rocks, now had come in the new phrase: She writes and they rock!
The world have gotten their wish of Austin and Ally getting together. They'd soon announced their relationship to the world six months ago; The night of their album release party. Their album had reached Number 1 on Billboards which was when they'd both decided that they were Better Together. They then grew the idea to perform every concert together, becoming one act together.
Austin moved to L.A with Ally, Trish and Dez following along. Austin told Ally it was because they would miss them, but Trish and Dez claim it was because Trish got a 'job transfer'. (Ya know, being Austin and Ally's manager and everything.)
As of right now, life was good; Austin and Ally were officially a couple, they had moved in together despite Lester's opinion that he'd rather Ally live alone, they were now a couple-act together with their first album selling 2.3 Million copies within the first two weeks of its release date, they had started up their own record label, and they were now on a World Tour together, living their biggest dream.
There was no worries about leaving Ally behind while Austin went on tour or vice versa, no worries about Ally living in L.A while Austin stayed in Miami, no worries about Ally's career or Austin's career because now they have one together, no worries about competing with one another's record labels. They didn't have to worry about a thing anymore, because they would always overcome any obstacle as long as they had each other.
And there would forever and always be an Austin and Ally!
Well, there's the epilogue.
Did you enjoy it? It's short, I know. But it was an epilogue so I didn't want to drag it on, I only wanted to show how their lives had shaped and become. Anyways, thanks for reading it! I have written out a soundtrack for this story because I thought that would be a cool idea. (I'm sorry that there's a lot of Taylor Swift but a majority of her songs fit with the criteria of this story so..) P.S Some of the songs on the soundtrack were not included in the chapters.
