"Austin, let's go I need the washroom" I called knocking on the door which seemed like the 10th time this morning. It was a Saturday which meant 'family' time with the Moons, and really I didn't mind the moons except for one and that one is well
"Well, you seem a little to anxious to see me this morning" Austin said winking as he opened the door in his shorts and no top on, but he was drenched so I'm guessing he took a shower
"C'mon I need to use the washroom" I said trying to walk past him
"Well, if you need to shower, be my guest" he said smirking as if I would ever take a shower in front of him. Ew, that thought made me shiver, plus I took one yesterday.
"Actually I just need to do my hair, and brush my teeth" I said walking past him
"Alright, and okay how does this look?" Austin said putting on a light blue top along with his shorts
"Erm… good?" I said questionably I mean he never asks me about fashion advice, and if you see my wardrobe you would know why
"Wrong, you're supposed to say 'cute'!" he said smiling at me
"Oh, when are you going to let that go" I asked rolling my eyes
"When you admit it and I mean actually come out and say 'I'm cute' then I'll drop it" he said which almost looked like he was telling the truth
"You promise?" I asked raising an eyebrow
"Promise" He said waiting for me to give in
"Fine" I sighed "I think you're maybe a little, maybe just a little bit" I bit my lip and just said it "cute"
"Hahaha, I cannot believe you said that" Austin said starting to laugh "Ally thinks I'm cute!" Austin started to chant
"Austin!" I said covering his mouth
"So admit it, you think blondes are cute! So, why do you think I'm cute?" Austin said raising an eyebrow
I can't believe I'm actually going to say this... "Okay, fine blondes are cute, I prefer brunette's but I have a soft spot for blondes… and I'm a sucker for brown eyes" I said biting my lip. Austin just stood there leaning against the door and smirking at me. I probably shouldn't have said those things because I know I just fed his huge ego.
Before he could say anything I butted in "Oh shut up, remember your promise" I said crossing my arms
"Alright fine" Austin said smiling at me and raising his arms surrendering and walking out of the washroom so I could use it
I closed the door and tried to lock it but I remembered that this was the only that doesn't lock.
"Shoot" I said closing the door. I changed my pyjama bottoms into my shorts quickly and just as I was choosing a top to wear the door opened
"By the way, me and you are going to Karaoke night with Cass, Dallas, and Dez." He said texting on his phone and that was when he looked up and I was covering my chest. Even though I was wearing a bra I am still very self-conscious
"Sorry" he mumbled staring at me.
"Are you going to leave?" I asked him lowering my arms and grabbing a top and that was when he snapped out of his trance
"Yeah, but get ready because my parents want us to go out with them" he said before leaving
Line Break
"Ally, were going to be late! We still have to pick up Dallas, Dez, and Cass" Austin said walking into our room
"Okay, you have to get out I have to change my top" I said staring at the blue dress, the red top and the pink top I had laid out on his bed
"Go with the blue dress!" Austin said, and now that he mentions to it, it's actually really short…and now that I remember Trish got it for me for my birthday last year... explains why it is so… what's the word? Slutty…
"Good, I'll go with the pink top" I said picking it up
"But you didn't even take my advice?" Austin said pretending to be upset
"I never asked you for your advice Austin, and you have to get out so I can change my top" I said opening the door for him
"Or you can just change it here, I mean I already seen everything this morning" he said winking at me
"Yeah, you couldn't get enough of me this morning could you" I said joking around with him
"Hey! I am a 17 year old guy, what can I say? Boobs are attractive" he said laughing
"Okay now get out before we are late" I said closing the door as he walked out.
"Alright, who's house are we going to first?" I asked as I sat in the front seat of his car
"C'mon freak sit in the back please?" he asked as he started the car
"No way Blondie" I said putting on my seat belt as he drove to Dez's house where him and Cassidy were
"Hey Ally" Cassidy said coming to the car "Hey" I smiled back at her
"Sup Austin" Dez said when he got into the car
"Are you excited for your first karaoke night?" Cassidy asked me... uhm NO…
"Uhm.. A little, what is karaoke night?" I asked chewing my hair which Austin took note of... shoot… the only times I ever chew my hair is when I'm nervous.
"Basically, we go to the Activity house and anyone who wants to sings, or sometimes they choose people with lights, but there's only kids 16 and over tonight, because I think there opening up the bar" she said smiling and leaning on Dez.. I had to admit they were a pretty cute couple
"Oh, that sounds fun-
Honk Honk Honk!
"Hey Ladies" Austin said winking at a couple of girls walking by in only there bathing suits.
"Nice, honk at girls half naked moon" I whispered to myself but I guess he caught that
"Awe, Ally are you jealous" Austin said smirking at me...
"Oh, yes... So damn jealous" note the sarcasm
"Yo Dallas, let's go" Austin said honking a couple more times when we got to his cottage
"I'm coming" Dallas said locking his cottage door and walking up to the car
"Hey Dallas" I said smiling at him
"Hey Ally you look really nice" he said before getting into the car
"So do any of you actually sing at karaoke night? Or are we just going to watch people sing?" I asked turning around in my seat a little to face Dez, Cassidy and Dallas
"Well, actually Jo sings, and Austin does too, and so does Cassidy" Dez said.
"I knew Cassidy could sing, but wait- Austin you can too" I said turning back to him…I mean I barley heard him sing my song...
"It's one of my many talents" he said cockily
"Why didn't you tell me you could sing?" I asked shocked
"Erm…I don't really try to publicize it" he said getting a little bit shy about it.. Hm.. Austin Moon getting shy.. That's a first
"Okay but –" I was cut off obviously by him
"Were here! C'mon" he said shutting off the car waiting for us to get out then locking it
"Whoa, this place is so nice" I said when walking into the Karaoke place
"C'mon Ally! I want you to meet some of my friends" Cassidy said pulling me to the side
"Oh your squeezing my arm!" I said as she dragged me over to a corner
"Yes! But it is for a really good reason" she said smiling
"What's the reason then?" I asked her confused
"You have to perform one of your songs that you wrote!" Cassidy said grinning at me.. uhm.,.. . . and NO.
"I.. uhm.. I can't" I said starting to chew on my hair
"Ally there really good you-
"I have stage fright" I whispered
"Wait- Are you serious?" Cassidy asked seeming a little bit shocked
"Yeah, I can't sing in front of a crowd if my life depended on it! It's my biggest fear" I said shyly
"Ally, don't be embarrassed! But you honestly should get over that fear, because you are really good!" Cassidy said hugging me as we walked back over to where Dallas, Austin, and Dez were standing
"Hey Guys, my name is Joe and I will be your host night! So, Welcome to Karaoke night" Joe the announcer said and everyone cheered. Whoa, I'm actually very surprised that so many people are excited to be at karaoke night, it was a really big hit
"This is actually really cool" I said about an hour into karaoke night
"Yeah, but it's going to get better" Austin said
"Why?" I asked confused
"Because I'm up next" he said cockily and went up on stage
"Sup guys I'm Austin" he said smiling and the crowd cheered, they obviously knew him. "I'm going to be singing Kiss me slowly – By Parachute" he said getting the acustic guitar and started singing
Stay with me, baby stay with me,
Tonight don't leave me alone.
Walk with me, come and walk with me,
To the edge of all we've ever known.
I can see you there with the city lights,
Fourteenth floor, pale blue eyes.
I can breathe you in.
Two shadows standing by the bedroom door,
No, I could not want you more than I did right then,
As our heads leaned in.
Well, I'm not sure what this is gonna be,
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below.
Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.
Stay with me, baby stay with me,
Tonight don't leave me alone.
She shows me everything she used to know,
Picture frames and country roads,
When the days were long and the world was small.
She stood by as it fell apart,
Separate rooms and broken hearts,
But I won't be the one to let you go.
Oh, I'm not sure what this is gonna be,
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below.
Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.
Don't run away...
And it's hard to love again,
When the only way it's been,
When the only love you knew,
Just walked away...
If it's something that you want,
Darling you don't have to run,
You don't have to go ...
Just stay with me, baby stay with me,
Well, I'm not sure what this is gonna be,
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below. (Don't let go)
Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.
Oh, I'm not sure where this is gonna go,
But in this moment all I know
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below. (Baby, don't let go)
Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.
"Thanks" he said into the mic
"Whoa, that was –"
"Awesome" he came in and cut me off
"Well, yeah! Your really good" I said realizing that Austin Moon could sing.. actually sing..
"I know" he said smiling when a bunch of girls came towards him
"Are you sure you don't want to sing tonight?" Cassidy said after she finished singing on the stage
"No, there is no way that I could ever sing on stage" I said too soon
"On a special request, we would like to invite Ally Dawson to come up on stage" Joe the host said into the mic
"Wait what!" I shrieked chewing on my hair
"But I thought- " I cut Cassidy off
"I wasn't" I said started to get worried
"But who-" I cut her off again
"Austin" I said clenching down on my fist.
"Having fun Ally" Austin said smirking at me as he walks over
"What the heck is wrong with you! I ca-can't go up there" I say now starting to get nervous
"C'mon, I'm only trying to help!" he said picking me up fire man style with me over his shoulder
"Help with what! I don't need your help! What I need is for you to put me down" I shout
"Alright alright I'll put you down" he said dropping me down, and that was when I realized I was on stage
"You never said were" he whispered in my ear then jumped on the stage leaving me there, with the entire audience looking at me
"Shoot" I mumbled to myself and that's when the music started to play. I recognized the song that was playing. It was Torn by Natalie Imbruglia one of my personal favourites which made this a little bit easier, a little.. but I was still beyond scared. I mean I have stage fright for god sakes and Austin thinks it's a smart idea to 'help me' with it. I don't need help! What I need is to get off of this stage
"I thought, I saw a man brought to life, He was warm, he came around and he was dignified, He showed me what it was to cry" I started to sing into the mic with my eyes shut tight and slowly missing some words, and stumbling here and there.
"Well, you couldn't be that man I adored" I sang quietly and opening my eyes which was a bad decision. I just stopped singing and froze there while watching everyone staring at me..
"I-I-I'm Sorry" I said walking away from the mic backwards and tripping and falling down on stage in front of everybody. Obviously, I would fall on stage.. I'm such a klutz.. damn Ally just get up and run out.. But I couldn't.. and that's when I realizing people were laughing since I completely made a fool out of myself. I scanned the room quickly and I saw everyone laughing, well mostly everyone. The only person that wasn't laughing was Cassidy who looked like she was going to rip Austin's head off. Even Austin was laughing hysterically which stung alot . I could feel the tears building up in my eyes and I couldn't stop them from rolling down my check. That was when I got up and ran out of the Karaoke house as fast as I could.
Cassidy's Pov:
Whack!
"OW! What the fuck was that for?" Austin screamed holding the check that I just smacked
"That was for putting Ally through this!" I said pissed and I smacked Dez in the stomach which was when he stopped laughing
"Sorry Cass" Dez said kissing me on the check
"How did you know she had stage fright?" I turned my attention back to Austin
"I read it in her diary" he said shrugging
"Then why the fuck would you do that to her? Put here through that" I shouted
"Look, I was only trying to help her get over it" he said started to laugh again
"You know you're a fucken asshole Austin! She wasn't ready, and clearly this was not just because you wanted to help her! If you did you would stop laughing because she fell" I rolled my eyes knowing that I wouldn't get to him
"C'mon Cassidy, lighten up" Dez said now laughing along with Austin
"You guys are both assholes" I said not caring that I was dating one of the assholes
"Cass…" Dez started feeling sorry but I cut him off
"I'll go after her!" I said walking out of the karaoke house hearing Austin's and Dez's conversation
"Come on Austin! It wasn't that funny" Dez said only because I was beyond pissed at him
"Ally!" I called walking out of the karaoke house looking for her. I did feel really bad about the entire thing! I mean she has stage fright, and well Austin didn't help her at all. Instead he made things worse… He ruined her first
Karaoke Night.
Please leave a review and please don't hate too much on Austin! He gets better a lot better I promise!
