Hey, guys. So, I'm writing the new chapter of Chemical Reactions today. Anyway, shout outs to: queenc1, primjay10 and all the guests. Anyway, part 2 is here! And by the way, the Trent in this story is not the jerk who broke Trish's heart. And also, there is going to be an epilogue after this.
Ally's POV
Finally, after some time, I yanked out Austin's CD and popped in a Taylor Swift. I was tired of being the heart broken Ally. I just wanted to be free. Free of everything. In the end, the CD stopped playing, and it switched to radio, where the evening program of Good Night, Chelsea was going on. Chelsea was a Dj who played the new songs on air.
"So, this is Austin Moon's new single…." She didn't finish, as I furiously turned off the radio, by slamming the off button. I glared pointedly at the window. Yep, this really was going to be a long night.
Gabriel parked his car in one of the open spaces in the parking lot, which was crowded with teenagers. He parked the car, and Trish and Trent got out. People glanced at our car. Clearly, I was now popular because I was Austin's first ex. Gabriel opened my door, and I stepped out. People looked at me, but I ignored them as thoroughly as I could.
"You okay?" Gabriel asked. I nodded and looked at him. He gave me a sympathetic look. I sighed. I stepped closer to the gym door and after taking a deep breath, I opened the doors. The gym was filled with people, and the lights played along the floor. I stepped inside, and almost, ominously, the doors closed on its own. I looked at Gabriel, who just smiled. We found ourselves stuck to the wall. The reason: We both hated dancing. Kaydence had come in, with what Trish and I decided to call 'The Slut Dress.' It was short, about five inches above the knee, and was black. I knew that if Kaydence bended over, we'd get a flash of her underwear, something I hoped would never happen. It did. Austin looked…..good. He laughed and talked with her friends like they'd known each other since childhood. I bit my lip.
"Alright, everyone. So, who wants to go up next?" the DJ said. I walked up to where she was.
"Me," I said. Everyone turned my way. The DJ looked at me, and handed me the mike. I looked at the karaoke screen. The screen said Taylor Swift: Red.
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
Faster than the wind
Passionate as sin, ended so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind
Once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn
So bright just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
Touching him is like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out love could be that strong
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
But loving him was red
Oh red burning red
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
Burning red!
Darling it was red!
Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
Cause loving him was red yeah yeah red
We're burning red
And that's why he's spinning round in my head
Comes back to me burning red
Yeah yeah
Cause love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
I finished the song, and then everyone started clapping like crazy. I glanced around, and saw Austin kissing The Slut. I got off the stage quickly, and walked away from the gym. I ran to the lockers, where no one was, and softly, let my tears escape. Why was I acting like this? Isn't this what I was expecting? I quickly wiped my tears. Someone was coming.
"Ally?" a voice said. It was Austin. I looked at him defiantly.
"What? Need to brag? There are other people you can talk to." I said. He looked at me. His eyes were startled, open…and hurt. I fought my urge to say something, anything.
"Ally, I still…." I stopped him. He continued anyway.
"Ally, Just let me explain. Please," he said. I glared at him.
"You've made your choice, Austin, and I've made mine. Goodbye," I said. I started to turn around, but then, Austin grabbed my arm and kissed me. It wasn't the gentle kind. It was the hard, deep, sweet kind. The kind that says I love you. I fought the urge to lean in. So, I just stood there and let him kiss me. When he was done, he pulled away, and I slapped him right across the face. He clutched his cheek, looking quite surprised. I looked at him for a moment, before I ran away from him, feeling like Cinderella running away from her prince.
Alright, we're almost done. Just two chapters and an epilogue. Bye.
