"Pst"
"Pst"
SPLASH!
You know when someone usually wakes someone up, it's with a playful nudge, maybe a shove but for Austin Moon it's totally different. He likes to wake me up with well splashing a cup of cold water on my face. But considering I haven't slept a wink last night I am way too tired to actually get up even though my hair and face is soaked. I mean usually I'd be up since it is late and I usually get up early but still….
"I can't believe she didn't wake up from that" I heard Austin whisper to himself. Good, good, now leave me and go away so I can sleep.. Clearly I forgot that when Austin Moon wants something he gets it, he always gets his way
"Ally, I know your up" I heard his whisper and I couldn't help but crack a smile, shoot I hope he didn't see that
"Ally come on, I have pickles for you" he said and I flung out of bed, probably should have thought that through, considering he probably didn't have any
"Pickles! Where!" I said rolling off my bed and not remembering that I sleep on the top bunk, not the best choice
THUMP!
"Ally! Are you okay?" Austin said crouching down next to me trying to hold in his laughter and I had to admit it was pretty funny
"Oh just dandy. Now Austin, if there are no pickles I will personally strangle you" I said turning onto my side
"Well," he said dragging that on for way to long and I could just tell that there were no pickles and I just sighed
"Well, I could buy you a jar" he said grinning widely
"Yeah, you owe me a jar a pickles" I said while getting off the floor
"So.." I said while gesturing to him to start talking
"So….?" He asked me
"So, why did you wake me up?" I asked him rolling my eyes
"Well, I am going to help you" he said before walking out of our room causing me to follow him
"Help me with what?" I asked him confused
"Just put on a pair of tights and a comfy top and meet me outside" he said turning around to me
"But-
"No asking questions just do" he said turning me around back into our room
What was this boy up to?
"Okay, I'm here. Where are we are you taking me?" I asked him as I walked out of the cottage in my tights and tank top
"Can't say, just get in" he said as he unlocked the door for me
"Are you going to kidnap me?" I said jokingly and gasping
"Technically this wouldn't be kidnapping if you willingly got into my car" he joked back
"Were Here" Austin said while getting out of the car as i followed him. It was old i could tell you that. It looked like an old studio or some-sort or what was left of it. It just looked abandoned if anything
"And what is here?" I asked looking around
"Urgh, just come inside!" he told me while grabbing my hand and dragging me in
"Whoa! This place is -" I was speechless. It was an old dance studio and i could tell by the mattresses on the floor, the mirrors on the wall, it was just so nice.
"Awesome" Austin filled in and that was when i noticed he was still holding onto to my hand
"Uhm.. Austin?"
"Yeah?"
"You can let go of my hand now" I said starring down at our hands
"Oh, Sorry" he said causally and going to move the mats uncovering a wooden floor
"So why'd did you take me here?" I asked knowing that he did not just take me here to dance with me i mean i can't dance
"I'm going to help you" he said dragging me to the middle of the small room
"Yeah, i got that part. You've been telling me that the entire morning, but help me with what?" i asked him curious
"Well, i heard about your date with Dallas, and i heard that he's taking you dancing tomorrow night" he said
"And?" i asked him
"And well no offence Dawson but you can't dance for shit" he said trying to not offend me but in reality it did sting just a little
"Oh wow, no offend taken" i said rolling my eyes
"Well, I'm sorry but it's kind of true" he said not holding back this time
"Well I'm not that bad" i scoffed offended
"Yeah, you are Dawson" he said laughing
"Am not moon, and how would you even know!" i spat
"Grade 10, Gym Class, we had to do a dancing unit, do you remember doing the salsa?" he questioned and that was when the memory hit me. Oh god, yeah I am really a bad dancer. Let's just say my dancing caused the dancing teacher to end up in the hospital with a broken ankle
"Need i say more?" he questioned raising an eyebrow
"No." I said starring at the ground. "So were here because?"
"I am going to teach you how to dance Dawson" he said smiling
"What's the catch?" i asked now raising an eyebrow
"Why does there always have to be a catch? What if I am just being a good friend?" he asked me
"Were friends?" i asked him sort of smiling, i mean wow we became friends fast
"Best friends!" he said seeming serious
"Were not best friends" i said jokingly
"Well discuss that later! Shall we start?" he asked grabbing my waist and turning me towards him
"Uhm..." i said unknowingly
"Just follow my lead, and you'll be fine" he said
"I'm trusting you Moon" i said and from that we took off
"Ouch!" Austin stopped again
"Sorry" i mumbled for the 10th time, I mean it wasn't really my fault that I kept on stepping on his foot
"Do you want to take a break?" he asked me seeing how frustrated i was
"No! I want to get this perfect" I said positioning myself again
"Do you want to start from the beginning?" he asked
"Please" i sighed and promised myself that i would get it perfect this time even though, knowing myself I wouldn't
It was going good, so far. We swayed back and forth and he twirled me a couple of times and that was just the beginning, i mean i mastered the beginning. The middle was where i had a little bit of trouble. I mean I just wanted to get this part because if I did, we could finally continue. It was the part when he spins me but let's go and i usually being the klutz i am, fall and trips.
"You'll be fine" Austin said to me knowing that 'that' part was coming up. As he let go, I tried spinning but i just, well
"Damn" I said while hitting the ground for the 8th time today
"Are you okay?" he asked me while sitting down beside me
"No, Dammit! Why can't i do this?" I asked out loud
"Look, dancing is just harder for you and-
"No, I just want to be able to do this part but I can't seem to get it! God Dammit Ally why can't you just do it! It isn't that hard!" I spat now angry at myself
"Don't be so hard on yourself, I could barley dance at first. Dancing is a lot of work and well you really have to practice it over and over again" Austin said grabbing my hands and helping me up
"What time is it?" I asked him while taking a sip of my water
"About 7:30ish" he said checking the time on his phone
"Shoot, really?" I asked disappointed. I mean we practiced all day and I could barley do a simple spin
"Yeah, I think we should call it a day. We could try it again tomorrow" Austin said looking tired as ever
"Yeah maybe we should" I said sitting down against the wall beside him
"You actually improved a lot though" he said trying to make me feel better
"Who am i even kidding? I am going to flat out embarrass myself in front of Dallas tomorrow night" I said giving finally giving up
"Well, don't give up yet" he said getting up again and picking me up
"C'mon Austin, you even said we should call it a day. Were both exhausted as-" I was cut off
"Now that I think about it, Austin Moon is no quitter, and I will promise you by the end of the night, You will be able to do this dance, I promise you" he said walking over to the radio
"That's one promise that's not going to come true" I mumbled to myself
"Okay, Let's try to loosen you up! Ally, your way to stiff" he said turning on the radio
"But, but I'm way to tired Moon" I said standing down again against the wall
"I love this song!" He said turning it louder as "Some Nights by Fun" played on the radio
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh
"This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for? Why don't we break the rules already?" Austin stared to sing and dance in the middle of the room
"C'mon Ally!" he said starting to dance in front of me which made me laugh
"No, You dance! Your actually really good" I said while taking another sip of my water
"And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight. She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am. Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm..." He stared to sing even louder and kept on dancing.. Whoa! He was actually really good
"Some nights, Hmmm" i started humming to the beat and taping my foot
"Come on, Dance!" Austin said coming over to me grabbing my hands and dragging me to the middle of the room
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost,Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh. What do I stand for? What do I stand for?, Most nights I don't know..." He kept on singing as he danced around me and i just stood there, I mean i wasn't to big on 'freestyle dancing around people'
"Come on Ally, just let go and dance!" He said as i started to feel the music and i guess i started to dance and sing
"Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again. Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands." I started to sing loudly and this is a big surprise since i never ever sang a song out loud to anyone. I mean the only person who actually ever heard me sing was Cassidy, and that was an accident An even bigger surprise was that i was dancing or as Austin called it 'letting go'
"This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go. Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?" Austin sang and danced along with me
"The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me" I sang and pointed to me and Austin as we both just danced around
"I called you up, but we'd both agree, It's for the best you didn't listen. It's for the best we get our distance... oh..." Austin sang as the song on the radio ended and we both just stopped dancing and started breathing heavily. I mean we were both out of breath
"Was that so hard?" he said to me and started to smirk knowing that i just danced and sang
"Uhmm... no" i said shyly
"By the way, you have a beautiful voice. I never knew you could sing like that" he said smiling at me
"Yeah, I don't really sing because-"
"Of your stage fright?" he said knowing that was what i was going to say and I just nodded
"Well, that sucks because you have a one-of-a-kind voice Dawson" he said smiling at me
"Thanks, Moon" I said adding his last name in and he just smirked
"Well-" He started to say something but I cut him off by screaming
"Oh my gosh! I love this song!" I screamed running over to the radio and turning it louder. I don't know why, It could be due to over tiredness but I felt comfortable around Austin, comfortable enough to sing and dance in front of him
"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 started to sing as i danced around the room as Austin just stood there and laughed at me
"What?" I stopped and asked him shyly
"Nothing, It's cute! Keep dancing" He said smiling at me and i continued to dance
"Come and dance with me!" I said pulling him
"Ugh... Fine" he said grabbing my hands and pulling me in my the waist and we started to swing around the room
"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." He sang to me as we kept on laughing and dancing around the room
"Ally?"
"Yeah?"
"Your dancing!"
"Huh?"
"Your doing the dance I taught you"
"I am!" i cheered pretty excited and kept dancing with Austin
"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." I continued to sing as we both danced around the room
"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." Austin finished singing even after the song was done.
"You did it!" He said embracing me into a friendly hug. I couldn't believe I actually finished the entire dance without once stepping on his foot or falling
"I couldn't have done with without you Austin, thank you" I said as he pulled away slowly but still held me by the waist.
It could have been the fact that maybe i was overtired, but i could swear that he was slowly leaning in, slowly by slowly, but before I could say anything, he pulled away quickly and let go of my waist. He jerked back and started to rub his neck
"Sorry, bad habit" He said looking at the floor and rubbing his neck
"Bad habit to kiss girls?" I said jokingly
"Shut up, C'mon let's go home. It's pretty late and you can't be tired for your dating tomorrow night" He said rolling his eyes and smiling
"Thank, you Austin!" I said before we left the abandoned studio
"Anytime Dawson" He said smiling back at me before leaving the studio
What could I say? He was a miracle worker! I mean, he actually taught me how to dance in a day. One single day, and let's just say I was a horrible dancer, beyond horrible. Honestly on a scale of 1 to 10 and 1 being the worst I would be a good negative 3. Yeah, but thanks to Austin I would be able to dance on my date with Dallas.. He actually taught me how to dance. But i think he actually taught me more than that today... He taught me how to let loose and live a little, Well what can i say? Anything can happen at...
