Austin's POV:
"So, what did you need to talk to me about?" I asked her.
"Us." She said seriously.
"Wait, what do you mean 'us'?" I asked, using air quotes.
"Our relationship!" She replied, starting to pace back and forth...
"Ally... If you want to become a couple, I wouldn't mind that..." I said, trying to cheer her up.
"No Austin, I don't want to date you! We already have a great friendship and I don't want to ruin that!" She said, throwing her hands up in the air in a frustrated manner.
"I just...Don't want anyone to get hurt..." She sadly mumbled, looking at her shoes.
"Why? How would you or I possibly get hurt?" I asked, lifting her chin up so she was looking me directly in the eyes.
"You wouldn't understand..." She mumbled, barely audible...
"What?"
"You wouldn't understand Austin!" She screamed, running off to God knows where...
How did I make her so upset? What did I do wrong? All these questions ran through my head as I tried to comprehend what was going on... Ally likes me, but doesn't want to date me because she thinks someone will get hurt... This makes no sense...
I tried to collect my thoughts as I headed back into Sonic Boom... I need a minute to get away from everything... Just then, I had an idea... The Practice Room!
I nearly ran up the stairs towards the Sonic Boom, only to find it locked... Wait, weren't Trish and Dez here earlier? I leaned my ear against the door to see if I could hear anything...
"Dez, how are we going to tell them?" I heard Trish ask.
"I don't know, we'll figure something out..." Dez said.
"Okay... Let's go to sleep and we'll think about it in the morning..." Trish said to Dez tiredly.
I heard footsteps, so I scrambled back downstairs... So much for writing a new song... I thought to myself...
What was it that they were hiding? All I knew is that I had to get to the bottom of it...
