Gone Like The Night Wind Chapter 10: Talent Shows & Duets, an austin & ally fanfic

Author's Note:

I Do NOT Own Austin & Ally

Austin POV

When I opened the box I saw the bear I got Ally and the smaller bear I got Aria. Attached to each bear was a note both in Ally's hand writing. The first note I read was the note on Ally's bear. It read in Ally's neat perfect handwriting. [Notes In Italics]

Austin, I'm Sorry For The Way Things Happened, I Just Wanted You To Know That Tommy And I Did Nothing, I Also Wanted To Say That I Love You And That Was Part Of The Reason I Clung To You… And If I Seemed Distant After Our Break Up For My Clinginess, I'm Sorry, But That Was Just Because I Love You. There I Said It I LOVE YOU AUSTIN MOON! Once Again I'm Sorry And I Love You… Love You Lots, Ally.

I broke down in tears after reading the first note, I was a jerk to her and she loved me. Well it was too late; I was sitting on a plane box in hand on the way back to L.A. I don't really know how I got there either; I mean one minute I was at home crying on the floor the next I was on a plane back to stardom. I know I should call Ally and try to make up with her but there was something holding me back… Tommy, why were they in the bathroom, her in a towel and him holding her in his arms staring into her eyes. It really hurt me. Now rather than being sad I was angry now and thrust the box of bears, notes and pictures to my agent asking her to store them somewhere far away.

Ally POV

I really hope Austin got my and Aria's notes. Mine explained how I felt. Aria's explained how she missed him and how glad she was to have met him and how badly she wanted to stay with him. I was thinking when a tune got stuck in my head and I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd work on my song for awhile…

I miss those blue eyes
How you kissed me at night
I miss the way we sleep
Like there's no sunrise
Like the taste of your smile
I miss the way we breathe

But I never told you
What I should have said
No I never told you
I just held it in
And now I miss everything
About you
I can't believe I still want you
After all the things we've
Been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

I see your blue eyes
Every time I close mine
You make it hard to see
Where I belong to when I'm not
Around you
It's like I'm not with me

But I never told you
What I should have said
No I never told you
I just held it in
And now I miss everything
About you
I can't believe I still want
You
After all the things we've
Been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

But I never told you
What I should have said
No I never told you
I just held it in
And now I miss everything
About you
(still you're gone)
Can't believe that I still want
You
After all the things we've
Been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

Just as I finished the last line my alarm clock went off telling me it was time to get up and go to school. I knew this would bite because Austin and I were in a bunch of classes together. So I got up went to my closet and pulled out my outfit. A black v-neck that had a broken heart on it in red rhinestones, also I grabbed a knee length red skirt and black belt on. I walked into Aria's room to get her up for the day; I got her dressed in her school uniform which was a black sweater and a red plaid skirt. I made her a bowl of cereal and as she ate I had an apple and packed both our school bags. My dad came down stairs and said he'd drive Aria to school. I agreed and walked to Trish's house. She's been really nice to me ever since the break up it's weird but, I need it. When I reached her house she was just coming out. "Trish!" I shouted, she turned and hugged me. "Hey Ally, ready to go?" she asked I nodded. We were silent the whole car ride except for the radio. Once we were at school Trish found a poster for a school talent show and thought I should sign up. The poster read ALL ACTS WELCOME SIGN UP HERE, IT WILL BE ON JUNE 13TH HELD IN THE AUDITORIUM THERE WILL BE A CELEBRITY JUDGE. Trish convinced me to sign up so I could have an outlet for my singing. I thought it would be a good thing for me to focus on since it was already May 28th; I had a ton of work to do.

JUNE 12th

Austin POV

Today I'm going back to Miami to host a talent show for my old school I was totally psyched, I was also very excited to see Ally again… I had given it awhile and I found I really couldn't live without her, I couldn't eat or sleep I barely could perform. I had never even found a new girl friend which I easily could have but, I didn't and I won't I've decided the one thing I want is Ally, and of course Aria. I arrived back in Miami but had to lay low so know one from school would know it was me. I was so excited it was so hard for me to fall asleep. When I woke up I put on Ally's favorite of my outfits and hurried to the school.

Ally POV

Today I was super nervous, I still had a bit of stage fright and my song was about how I was over Austin and my break up. I had my outfit on which was a purple dress that ended a few inches above my knees I paired it with a navy blazer and brown belt.

[ imgres?q=Purple+Dress+with+a+black+blazer&start=292&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1600&bih=729&addh=104&tbm=isch&tbnid=2M49KlpxZuHYdM:&imgrefurl= navy-and-purple/&docid=LG26RR7haQLgyM&imgurl= . &w=3456&h=5184&ei=ASMSUJ2jBIXJ6wGW5oE4&zoom=1]

I was the last act and it was during the school day so no one could leave. The later acts got to come in late today so I stayed home until 12:45 practicing. I was scheduled to go on at 1:10 so I got there about fifteen minutes early. When I got there Trish rushed me into the building saying they were ahead of schedule and I was on in about 2 minutes. I Walked By the Principal on my way back stage and she asked me if I could do 5 songs to fill up some of the extra time we have I nervously agreed, just as I got back stage they called me out to perform. That's when I saw him, he was the judge and that made me super angry and I was really glad I chosen this song to sing now knowing he was there to hear it, that made my fears drift away and adrenaline fill my veins. So I began my song.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven, even, no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you,
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven even, no

What am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you,
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I'm try'na make sense of what little remains ooh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break
No it don't break
No it don't breakeven no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
(Oh glad your okay now)
I'm falling to pieces yeah
(Oh I'm glad your okay)
I'm falling to pieces yeah
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh it don't breakeven no
Oh it don't breakeven no
Oh it don't breakeven no

After my first song I felt great so I decided to sneak a look to Austin who was just staring at me, I smiled. Then the announcer told the audience I would sing another few songs after hearing the reviews from the judge. Austin quickly composed himself… "Well Ally, I think your song was great and I heard it was an original." I nodded and he continued… "I think we should sing a duet after you do another song or two unless you not up to it." I shook my head. "I'll sing a duet with you but let me sing to other songs first." I stated clearly into the microphone he nodded and I started my second song…

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
People would say, "they're the lucky ones"

I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunications lead to fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't break through

Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me yeah
I don't know what to say
Since the twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next chapter

How'd we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should have held me
Oh, I'm scared to see the ending
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I've never heard silence quite this loud

This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side
The battle's in your hands now
But I would lay my armor down
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
So many things that you wish I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon

After this song Austin looks ashamed but, reviewed it anyway. "Ally, I think it's great you can write your own music, and I really loved that song, who ever made you feel so crappy is an ass. So please sing your next song I really want to hear it." I nodded and began…

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
Then I spent so many nights Just thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here, with that look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey

(I, I will survive)
Hey hey
(I, I will survive)
Every day
(I, I will survive)
Oh yeah

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey

Go now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive

(I, I will survive)
Hey
(I, I will survive)
Every day
(I, I will survive)
Yeah yeah

(I, I will survive)
Oh
(I, I will survive)
I will survive
(I, I will survive)

(I, I will survive)
I've got all my love to give
(I, I will survive)
I've got all my life to live
(I, I will survive)
My loving is not in vain, oh no

(I, I will survive)
I will survive
(I, I will survive)
I will survive
(I, I will survive)

At the end of this song he looked terrified knowing each one of these songs was about him, took him much longer to find something to say, so I waited patiently fixing my dress. "Ally, I think I'm ready to sing our duet, and your songs really speaks to me I think your amazing." He says standing up from his chair and walking up on the stage to meet me, I nodded and mouth whatever. "What song?" I ask "huh?" "What song." I repeat. "Oh I don't know how about you start and I'll follow you." I nod, and then think for a minute before starting…

[Ally (Austin)]
It's like, he doesn't hear a word I say
His mind is somewhere far away
And I don't know how to get there
It's like all he wants is to chill out
(She's serious)
He makes me wanna pull all my hair out
(She's always in a rush and interrupted)
Like he doesn't even care
(Like she doesn't even care)

[Ally + Austin]
You, me
We're face to face
But we don't see eye to eye

Like fire and rain (Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane (You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
You're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing

[Austin]
She's always trying to save the day
Just wanna let my music play
She's all or nothing
But my feeling's never change

[Ally (Austin)]
Why does he try to read my mind?
(I try to read her mind)
It's not good to psychoanalyze
(She tries to pick a fight to get attention)
That's what all of my friends say
(That's what all of my friends say)

[Ally + Austin]
You, me
We're face to face
But we don't see eye to eye

Like fire and rain (Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane (You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
but you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing

[Austin] When I'm yes, she's no
[Ally] When I hold on, he just lets go
[Ally + Austin] We're perfectly imperfect
But I wouldn't change a thing, no

Like fire and rain (Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane (You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
but you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing

But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
but you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a
Wouldn't change a thing

After the music fades Austin and I are staring into each other's eyes and he leans in…
