Ally's POV

I sat in a chair debating if I should really buy a ticket and leave, but I knew that if I stayed I'd be lonely, a maid, and always wondering "what if" for the rest of my life. I also thought about my dad's beloved store and all the work he went through to keep it, always leaving on important trips. I couldn't leave the store without someone to attend it, but then again it was the only thing now holding me back. I got up and walked to the counter a few feet away "What's the next flight leaving and are there any openings?" The lady smiled and turned to her computer "There is a flight to New York now boarding. It will leave in five minutes out of the gate right over there. She pointed across the lobby toward the Gate C sign. There is one coach seat left, would you like it?" I smiled as small smile "Yes that would be great."

The woman prepared everything collecting my money and handing me the ticket. "They'll be holding the plane just long enough for you to get there. Have a nice flight, miss." she informed me. I took my ticket and moved in a fast paced walk toward the gate. I had dreamt of the day I was free from my evil stepsiblings, but I hoped it would have had less heartache over a guy. I wasn't too far away from the gate when I heard someone call out "Ally!" The familiar voice made me shutter as if it was the past haunting me and I figured the voice was a hopeful thought of my mind. Then I heard it again "Ally Dawson!" I froze, but didn't look behind me. Then from the intercom the voice spoke.

"Ally Dawson, Is there an Ally Dawson here? If there is I have to talk to you, you don't understand." It was Austin's voice and now everyone had gone dead silent as murmurs started and eyes searched the crowd. I saw someone's eyes lock on mine, A Latina girl, Trish was now coming my way yelling "She's over here! Ally Dawson, is over here!" All I slid to me as Trish stopped at my side and then on the counter in the distance from where I now stood I saw a blond jump up following the gazes. Trish winked at me and I glared back at her. "Trish, fairy godfriend or not, stay out of this." I hissed and headed toward the gate, but she caught my arm. "Ally wait, don't get on the plane. Listen to me, please."

I tried to move forward again and complete strangers were stopping me now. I didn't turn around as I heard Trish sigh softly "He's coming." I wanted to run, but no one would let me pass, the gate was so close yet so far from my reach, it just wasn't fair. Then I heard Austin sing a song, one we hadn't written together.

Don't

Don't leave

Don't say goodbye

Don't leave me wondering why

Don't tell me I was wrong

That you feel it too

I thought it was so strong

So much bigger than me and you

Please tell me you feel it too

Don't leave me without a reason

Don't

Don't leave

Don't say goodbye

Don't leave me wondering why

Don't tell me I was wrong

That it wasn't you

That this isn't our last song

(Spoken)

Please tell me this is your shoe

I could hear him just a few feet behind me and I refused to turn, but Trish grabbed my arm forcefully and spun me around.

Austin's POV

I had sung the song I made up on the way and the strange girl from the ball was by Ally turning her toward me with a wink. Ally didn't look me in the eye instead she looked to the side messing with her hair. "Ally, were you the girl I danced with? Please try on the shoe, prove to me if I was right or wrong. I just want to know one thing first, why are you leaving now? You could have left anytime you wanted to, why now? What are you running from?" I asked turning off the microphone and others had to strain to hear.

A bystander hollered "Try on the shoe, go on!" Others cheered too for Ally to do so soon they were chanting her name. Ally glared at me looking me in the eye for the first time since I approached her "No, I'm not a fairytale princess and a glass slipper won't change that. I'm leaving because my life is my own." I frowned "Listen, this shoe means nothing more than the hopes that it was you who was at the dance. The one girl who sees the true me and not this rich prince half of me that I could care less about, that's who I saw last night." Ally's glare softened "Don't say that, I said rude things about your way of life, I put you down. I wanted a night where I would shine above all the rest, but dreaming for things doesn't make it possible, just a hopeful thought. I'm leaving because I don't want to stay in the same [lace I was for so long."

Dez moved forward to hand her the slipper, but she stopped him and dug in her bag. She pulled out a matching glass slipper and people gasped. She threw it to Dez "Don't chase after mirages all your life. It's a waste of valuable time and hope. Reality is much more different than the illusion." I stared at her smiling, but she turned away. "Ally, stop you don't have to go. I chose you because you're not afraid to show you're true self, a tomboy, someone who thinks for themselves. I don't want a princess. I just want you!" I grabbed her arm turning her to face me again. She was crying "Why not let me go?" I hugged her "You supported my dream when my parents didn't. You are like me yet so different. If you want the honest blunt truth, I fell in love at first sight with you." She leaned into me crying and everyone cheered as we briefly kissed.

I love a good twist to a story! I now the lyrics aren't great and the spoken part is kind of corny lol!
