Robbie's POV
Well my plan is now screwed… I just need to get over it. It's not a big deal… What the hell was I thinking, getting the girl of my dreams when there are guys like Austin out there? I had no chance.
I went for 5 years putting on an act. An act so no one would know how much it hurt to be in love with her and not be loved back. I can do it for a few more years. I just need to forget about it. I'll of course still be her friend; I'll be there but… I just can't like her anymore.
Cat's POV
I've been texting Austin all day. We have our date later. I know we met the other day, but I really like him.
It's about 5. Jade and Tori are sitting on my bed talking to me as I get ready.
"So, are you excited? He sounds like a really nice guy! When do we get to meet him?"Tori asks.
"He will be here at 6 to pick me up so I'll introduce you. And YES! I can't wait! He is so sweet!" I smile st the thought of him. "It's only coffee. What do I wear?!" I'm literally freaking out.
"Skinny jeans and Vans. Just a simple cute look." Tori says; Jade smiles and nods.
"Ok… um, how about these?" I say pulling out a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and gray Vans. Jade says yes and Tori does too. "I am so nervous."
Both girls laugh at how freaked I was getting. "It's not funny!"
By 5:55 I'm fully ready. Now I just have to wait…
Five minutes later at exactly 6 the door bell rings. I get up off the couch and run over to the door. I open the door to see Austin standing in front of me with flowers.
"I know it's only coffee, but I figured you would like them." He says handing them to me.
"They're beautiful. I love roses! Come in. Let me put them in some water. Would you like to meet everyone?"
"Sure!" He says stepping in. I walk into the kitchen and he follows. I put the flowers in a vase and go to introduce him to my friends.
"Hey guys, come in here." Jade walks in with Beck. Robbie turns around on the couch and so does Andre. Tori looks at me and smiles. "This is Austin."
He waves and smiles. I continue, "Austin, this is Tori, Jade, Robbie, Beck and Andre! We all went to high school together and decided to take one more year off together." I smile. Robbie just stares at Austin. I feel bad now…
Everyone says hi and after a few minutes we leave to go out to coffee. We walk out the door and towards his car. He opens the passenger side door for me and I get in. He walks around the car and gets in his side. Before starting the car he looks at me and says, "You look beautiful tonight." He smiles at me and starts the car.
"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself." He had on dark blue jeans and a black dress shirt on. The sleeves were folded up to his elbows showing his forearm.
He chuckled. "Thank you."
We go on the date which turns out to be perfect. We talk about ourselves. I tell him about Hollywood Arts and how I can sing and play a couple instruments.
He tells me he can play the guitar and piano. We spend most of the evening at the café. Finally we decide to go for a drive to the beach.
He opens my door when we get there. I get out and walk ahead. He opens the trunk and pulls something out. He slams it shut and locks the car.
He walks up to me with a guitar cast in hand. I smile and we walk down to the sand.
"So you said you sing." He says as we sit.
"Yes, where are you going with this?" I ask knowing his full intentions.
"Sing me a song." He says. I pull out my phone and open the lyrics to a song I love.
"Ok fine, but you have to sing with me. It's a duet. This is your part. And we sing together here, and here." I point to the screen showing him where. He nods.
"Fair enough. I love this song!" He laughs.

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
(Both)
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
(Austin)
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
(Both)
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah
(Both)

Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Austin strums a couple of cords to end the song.
"Wow…" He says looking at me. "You are amazing…"
"Thank you…" I smile at him.
"Well, you also said you write songs. Give me some cords and ill play along." He says. I list a couple cords for him to play and he strums them to make sure they sound right to me.
"I only have a couple of lines… I haven't really finished it yet but…" He smiles and nods.
(Cat)
That smile means the world to me
I don't think you know
My day would be amazing
Because of that simple hello
You're the greatest thing that's happened to me
So please don't go
And leave me here all alone
"It's only the chorus. So you like it?" I ask. He leans closer to me and turns his head a little bit. Our lips touch softly. I move closer to him and wrap my arms around his neck. His hand caresses my cheek. It was soft and sweet but passionate in its own way. I felt something when he kissed me. A spark. This night couldn't get better. He pulls away and leans his forehead on mine, "Like I said, you are amazing…" He kisses me softly again and pulls away.
We go back to the car hand in hand. When I get back I walk up to my room and close the door. I lean my back on the door and shut my eyes. That was perfect. I slide down the door onto the floor and just sit there picturing the night, over and over again. Nothing could make this night bad.
Robbie's POV
I hear Cat walk through the door… She runs up to her room and shuts the door. They probably kissed… Damn it! Why can't I have her! I need her… I love her…
Hey! Ok so the first song is "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane. I used the Max Schneider and Liz Gillies version to break it up as a duet. The second song is another not finished original… I don't always finish songs… it happens a lot, sorry. Hopefully by the end of the story I can get you guys a full version of them. Maybe before it ends, I don't know yet. Sorry it took me so long to update, it's been a long week. Like I said before, I'll try for more than 2x a week but I don't know. I will definitely update on the weekends. Let me know what you think of my songs. Be harsh and tell me honestly please. Lol Thanks for reading! I'll update soon!
