Chapter 4

Austin's POV

"They're here."

Austin looked up at the sound of Dez's voice. He followed his best friend's gaze to the table where the girls sat. Good. Trish had done her job. He just hoped she did it subtly. "Alright. It's show time. Wish me luck." He took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat and jumped on top of table.

"Hey, everyone, can I have your attention please?" he said into the mic. He had to repeat himself several times, but eventually, the cafeteria quieted down and all eyes were on him. Austin scanned the crowd and locked eyes with his partner, songwriter, and best friend.

She looked at him quizzically, tilting her head as if to say, What are you doing?

Austin just smiled and winked at her. To the crowd, he yelled, "Hey everyone! I'd like to sing you a song today! I wrote this for a very special someone in my life. It's called, Forget About You. Hope you guys like it!" Nodding to the redhead, he said, "Hit it, Dez!"

The music filled the cafeteria, and Austin began to sing and dance, letting all his emotions out through his performance.

Oh no, here we go
Hear your voice on the radio
Like every single song is about you

Every sec that we spent
Lots of mess stuck up in my head
Got me so distracted and confused

Baby, I think I've lost my mind
Feels like you crashed into my life
I keep on losin' track of time
I'm so messed up, yeah

I'm so messed up!

I can't remember what I did tonight
Or even yesterday
Like, dude, where's my car?
Excuse me, what's my name?

Someone gave me these clothes
I can't remember who
My mind's a total blank
But I just can't forget about you,

Forget about you

Think that it's comin' back
Something about the time we had
Wish that we would've been recordin'

So right, super tight
Can't recall a thing last night
But woke up with a smile in the mornin'

Baby, I think I've lost my mind
Feels like you crashed into my life
I keep on losin' track of time
I'm so messed up, yeah

I'm so messed up!

I can't remember what I did tonight
Or even yesterday
Like, dude, where's my car?
Excuse me, what's my name?

Someone gave me these clothes
I can't remember who
My mind's a total blank
But I just can't forget about you,

Forget about you

I just can't forget about you
(You, you, you)
Forget about you
(Oh, I just can't forget about you)

Which way is up? Which way is down?
Can't stop this room from spinning 'round
I'm floating high, high off the ground
Caught in my head, can't get you out

I can't remember what I did tonight
Or even yesterday
Like, dude, where's my car?
Excuse me, what's my name?

Someone gave me these clothes
I can't remember who
My mind's a total blank
But I just can't forget about you,

Forget about you

I just can't forget about you
Forget about you

Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa, oh
Oh, whoa
Oh, oh, oh

As the last notes of the song faded away, Austin steeled his nerves. He remembered what Ally had told him. Twenty seconds of courage. Twenty seconds. That's all it takes, he reminded himself.

"Remember, girls love it when guys speak from their heart," Austin could practically hear Ally's voice in his head.

Never breaking eye contact with Ally, Austin climbed off the table he was currently standing on and made his way through the crowd. A minute later, he found himself standing in front of his best friend.

"Ally Dawson," he said, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves. His heart was beating faster than 99 miles per hour, or so he thought. Twenty seconds, he repeated in his head. That's all it takes. His heart was pounding so loud that he was sure the whole school could hear it. Twenty seconds, he kept on repeating to himself.

"Ally, this song was written for you, as you probably guessed by now. I wrote it for you, you make me think I'm going crazy, because I always think I hear your voice on the radio. You make me distracted and confused. All those times you found me spacing out? I was thinking about you. You make me lose track of time when I'm with you. In fact, I wish time would slow down for us. You're pretty, no, beautiful, smart, adorkable, and you're a brilliant songwriter. Your warm brown eyes sparkle whenever you laugh, and your smile is worth a million dollars. Most of all, I can never forget about you. You're always on my mind. I think about you all the time. I've said this a million times, and I'll be saying this for the rest of my life: There's no way I could make it without you. I know this hasn't worked out before, but will you give me another chance? Will you be my girlfriend again?" Austin bit his lip. One word from Ally could change everything.

Ally flashed him that smile he loved so much. "That was exactly twenty seconds. Did you plan it?"

He shook his head. "No, I just spoke from my heart, like you told me to," Austin replied. He held his breath. What would he say? Why hadn't she answered?


What's Ally going to say? Why hasn't she said anything? What is she going to do? Any guesses? :) Leave them in a review along with what you thought of the chapter! =)

Until next time, stay AWESOME!
