Ally's pov.

Theres nothing like walking down the streets of NYC. Yes, the people are not THAT friendly, but there is something about just strolling through Times Square that makes me feel alive. I had turned my phone off for work, because the temptation just sometimes gets to me. I'm not how you say 'popular' I don't have any friends except my family, and they don't talk to me on a regular basis…the only thing that tempts me is twitter and some of my games.

I was surprised to see that I had a ton of notifications, without reading who it was from I opened the convo.

My mouth dropped…no…no….no it can't be, I mean yeah it can be I'm staring at it right now, just wastn't expecting to see an actually convo of the old gang. I didn't want to respond, because I knew it wasn't worth getting hurt again. I shut my phone off and resumed my travel in the busy crowd.

I was being pushed and banged into, but I was so used to it that it just felt natural. The number one rule in New York City is to keep your head up, not showing fear and never make eye contact. If you don't do that, your practically dead meat.

Finally, my apartment complex came into view. I smiled and turned into the door way, leaving the crowd of people. I took the elevator up onto the 6th floor and walked to room 9B. I unlocked the door and walked into my messy apartment.

Usually I'm a neat freak, but paying bills and working late has me tired out. I swiftly took my shoes off and let my hair down and slid to my desk, with a quick motion I had turned my computer on without thinking and was back looking for jobs.

This was how my day was usually spent. First wake up. Second eat cereal. Third go to work. Fourth work my butt off. Fifth come home. Sixth look for jobs. Seventh eat food. Eighth bed time. As you can see my 8 step cycle is very afficiante…not.

I got up to grab some left overs from the fridge then quickly headed back to work. While I was job hunting I decided to check my email, because I had signed up for weekly updates when the new mall will be opening.

My phone started ringing obnoxiously loud, I picked it up without looking at the number and tried my best to sound perky.

"Hello?" I asked. "Hi my little ally gator how are you doing?" it was my uncle tom. I smiled excitedly "Hey Uncle Tommy! I'm doing okay I guess, hows it at the island?"

"Oh just wonderful, Juliet is miserable without you." I grinned. "Well tell her I miss her too"

"Don't worry darling I will, and I also decided to give you a little push in your career" uh oh what does he mean by that?

"What does that mean" I questioned "It means I applied you for a internship at a music school here at Anne Maria. Now I know its not what you always wanted, but it's a start…" I blocked out his other words. A job in music is perfect , absolutley perfect!

"That is amazing! Thank you so much, I'd love too. I can probably get down there by Friday ok?" I interuppted. "That would be great, also you can stay with me and Juliet for now, if you want?" I started to jump up and down squealing, The house they live in is like a mansion since my Uncle owns a chain of resturants, and Juliet is possibly the only person who is here for me right now so it would be great to be reunited.

"So is that a yes?" he asked again. "Um..thats like a definate yes!" I screamed. I said my goodbyes then started to pack, I know I'm probably acting crazy right now, but who woldn't.

Florida, I'm coming home.

Trish's pov.

I got fired AGAIN. When I first started working here I went through so many jobs, I can't believe I'm failng at this one too. I carried my stuff home trying to ignore the fact this is the deadline for rent.

My eyes watered as I slipped into the door way. I have no idea what to do, maybe I can go to my parents for money. They moved here too after they heard about my ability to lose jobs. Which I have too admit it helped me a little, but now I need a job more than ever.

I rememeber texing Juliet one more time and she was really happy about something, I think it was about Austin keeping in touch which doesn't sound likely at all. I tried to take deep breaths resisting the urge to cry waterfalls.

I think my only solution out of this is going to my family for help. Believe me I do not want to move back in, but I may have to soon if this keeps up. I reached for the phone with a shaking hand, and slowly dialed my parents.

"Hi mom is dad there" I said holding my breath. "Yes dear, is everything okay?" I tried to calm down, but the tears came anyways. "Honey what's wrong" I heard the faint worry in my mom's voice. "I don't have the money to pay the rent, I only have half and I'm freaking out!" I managed to say. I heard muffled voices. "It's ok honey, we can pay the rest…for now at least" my dad finally said. I breathed a little. "This won't happen again I promise" I apologized "We know it won't" I sighed in relieved.

I sat down finally being able to breathe normally. All I wanted was Ally to come over and help me, but that wasn't going to happen.

I walked back and forth trying to figure out what Ally would do. Um…she would find a new job something she would love to do. What do I love to do? Well I like shopping and cool prints. Which I know isn't a real thing.

I decided it'd be best if I went online for a bit. I was exploring some stores that I was interested in and one caught my eye. It was a store on an island which made me a little excited. It was surf shop with a side for clothing and there looking for someone to help out with fashion department.

I looked who owned the store and it was a lady named Roxy Dawson. There are a lot of names like Dawson so I didn't panic, but then I remembered something. Ally had an aunt that I really liked, she used to be a professional surfer in California her name was…um...uh oh it was Roxanne.

I started to question if I should apply, but what's there to worry about Ally is all the way in New York probably living her dream and I need this. So I sent an email to the business account also making sure they knew my name.

~hour later

I got an email back, it just about made me fall from my seat.

Dear Trish,

I have no idea if you remember me, but I was Ally's Aunt. I don't really have any one working for the fashion department so I would love if you could help out; arrange the clothes into nice styles and help match things together. Knowing you, I think you're the perfect person for this job. My Husband Tom and I would love if you could take the job. And if you accept it, I know Juliet would love to have you stay with us. Our house is big enough anyways. Of course you will be paid $50 per hour. I hope you will be the new member of our store family.

Sincerely

Roxy

Well it looks like I got the job and a place to stay…OMG YES YES YES! I sent another email saying I accept and I could be at Anna Maria Island around Saturday.

I did my little happy dance I couldn't believe I actually got this, I should take Ally's advice more often.

I looked at my overflowing closet and sighed. It was going to take at least 3 days to back all of my clothes and then at least 2 more days to pack the rest.

Dez's pov

I think I'm going to quit, it feel s like I'm doing nothing right. The actors and actresses hate me, the only person who likes me is the Director and that's probably because I can make good coffee. I tried to look at the bright side, but nothing there are no bright sides.

Today I was stuck doing paper work again. I've been multi-tasking all day, first I have to do this paper work and also I've been texting Juliet, one time Austin came in and said, 'Stop blowing up my phone' and then Juliet called him a party pooper, which he sent a laughing face to us…well more of Juliet he just said hi to me and that's it. I smiled at least we're on talking basis…kind of.

Ugh paper work was so boring and its especially hard when the actors won't shut up. When they finally left I was all alone. I listened to the coffee machine rumble as I worked trying to calm down and not rip up all the papers.

I think there is only so many times I can do paper work till I snap…and I snapped. I took out my phone and ditched the stack of paper sitting on the desk. I went into a group convo and saw Juliet and Austin were having a big convo about him coming home.

Dez: Aloha people

Juliet: Wait doesn't Aloha mean goodbye

Austin: it means Hello and goodbye…right?

Dez: Yes, I think so I just hear it a lot

Austin: lol

Juliet: So did you hear about Ally?

Dez: No is everything all right?

Austin: is she hurt? Does she have a boyfriend?

Juliet: no and I don't know maybe, but she's leaving New York.

Austin: WHAT?!

Dez: Why?

Ally: I don't know, I overheard my dad talking to her on the phone, maybe she's moving in with some other guy.

Austin: I know your just trying to annoy me…it's not gonna work

Dez: Jealous

Austin: Shut up

Dez: I'm gonna have to go my boss needs me to finish paper work

Austin: bye have fun

Dez: HA! You're funny

Juliet: byeeee

I think I haven't had such a…well…real conversation with Austin in 2 years. I read the convo again and again to make sure it was real. It was…it feels like Austin is still the same person, I mean it feels like nothing has changed at all.

I checked twitter and saw Austin had tweeted something.

Going to my last party, let's get drunk! Lol

Yep, never mind I thought he didn't change, he did…in a BIG way. I was kind of crushed it felt like I still knew him.

The Director came in and looked at me. "Dez can I talk to you?" I gulped and nodded my head slowly. I got up and followed him into his office. I just stood there at his desk like an idiot while he was taking his seat. "Please sit down" I sat on the couch across from him. "Dez, you have worked harder than anyone here, and I think you should be the first to know" I perked up "What is it?" I said a little anxiously. He laughed.

"We will be switching locations" My eyes widened…wait what? I'm still not used to Hawaii and it's been 3 years since I've been here, and I don't want to get used to a whole new place. "The new Location is an Island in Florida" Oh my god Florida! "It's 2 hours from Miami and it absolutely beautiful" I nodded "What's the name of the Island maybe I know it" I asked.

"Anna Maria Island" I think I almost fell out of my chair. Anna Maria Island is where Juliet lives. She moved there from Miami a few weeks ago I think, and she also said the only reason she moved is because the Marino High wanted to expand themselves so now there is a Marino High in Anna Maria.

"What do you think" I looked at him and slowly nodded "When do we leave?"

He smiled and said "We leave early this Saturday" I nodded ok that sounds good. I chatted with him for a while and we talked about me being promoted to stage manager. I can't believe it this is my shot at being a big part in movie. He did mention he can't afford to pay me that much so we are still thinking about it.

I can't believe I'm coming hone soon.

Austin's pov

I can't belive Ally is going to leave New York already. I mean it felt like she just got there, and now she's leaving. The thing that bothers me the most is why?

I shook off the question in my head and continued getting ready for the party. Tonight is going to be epic I just know it. I started to comb my hair when I heard footsteps behind me.

"Austin we need to talk" Debbie said I was surprised and a little scared by the seriousness in her voice, but tried to be cool about it. "sure whatever" I sat myself on the couch and offered her the chair right across from me.

"You won't be coming back home." I blinked "What?!" I stood up feeling anger start coursing through my body. "Star Records have moved its location to L.A" which suddenly I calmed myself down before throwing a chair out the window. "But Mr. Star is not impressed with your behavior recently, so your going to take a break." this time I actually did throw the pillow out the window. "What do you mean?! my behavior is fine" I complained she gave me a look and showed me the tweet I had sent a few minutes ago.

"Austin, this is for the better" I rolled my eyes, but what can I do. "Your going to be staying at Anna Maria Island, it's for your own good. We have done some researching and Anna Maria is only 7 miles big no one will know your there. Its a chance for you to get away from all this" I looked at her, maybe I don't want to get away from this. "It's only temporary right?" I asked she nodded and I let out a sigh "fine."

She smiled and walked away. I just sat there staring at a wall. Well if it's my last daythen I should probably go to that party.

I grabbed my leather jacket and headed out the back door. I twisted the nob carefully and walked out, feeling the nice cool breeze on my face. I patted my tour bus and then took off for the party. I remember it was a few blocks from my bus, so it can't be that far. I kept my head down and walked a little faster.

I had finally arrived to my destination. I knocked on the door anxiously, it swung open and the figure of a guy came into view. "Yo Austin, come on in!" I smiled and stepped into the big mansion. Music blasted through the speakers and the smell of alcohol filled the air.

I walked around then saw a brunette with hazel eyes staring at me. I smirked and walked over to her, I took her hand gently and guided her to the dance floor. She blushed and suddenly it all felt too real

**flash back***

"Come on Ally let's dance" I pleaded. She giggled "Austin you know I can't"

I looked at her dark brown eyes and I started to get nervous, she always threw me off my game. She then did something unexpected, she pulled my face closely to hers then pressed her soft lips onto mine, she started to rap her arms around my neck making the kiss a little deeper. My eyes widened she has never kissed me like that.

I thought she was going to pull away when I felt her hands start playing with my hair. I then finally closed my eyes and pulled her closer, she honestly was my everything if only I knew when I met her this is where things were going to go. She then pulled away and smiled.

She went on her tippy toes and whispered into my ear "I'll be fine" it sent shivers down my spine as my cheeks started to redden.

She turned away to go find a drink, and I was suddenly pulled to the dance floor by Brooke. She smiled and tried to dance with me. I looked at ally trying to see if I could just run over and have her kiss me again. Ally stared at me for a moment, then a smirked played on her lips.

I knew what she was doing. She kissed me so no matter who I dance with I would be thinking about her. How did she learn that move. I spun Brooke around then looked at Ally who started to laugh. This isn't working is it?

I stopped dancing and walked over to Ally, I kissed her and smiled through it. I pulled away and took hand gently and guided her onto the dance floor. She blushed and that's how I knew it worked. We danced all night then when a slow song came on, she rapped her arms around my neck again and said something in a faint whisper "If only you knew how much I'm in love with you." I don't think I was supposed to hear that but I did.

I then whispered in her ear. "If only you knew how much I love you." she looked at me blushing and smiled. I could feel my heart speed up as I leaned in.

***flash back ended***

I went back to reality. What just triggered that? Then I heard the song All of Me by John Legend and I realized that was the song me and Ally danced to.

I can't do this.

I left the girl, the party, and the alcohol. I ran out and just kept running to the bus. When I was back I just landed on my bed trying to calm myself down.

What has that girl done to me.

Ok I'm so sorry it took me awhile to update, it wasn't going Through. The new chapter will probably be up late tomorrow. Thanks for the people who commented, you guys helped me a lot. So yes Austin still has mixed feeling for Ally, but that doesn't mean they'll end up together by the 10th chapter. I'm counting on them having more feelings for each other by the end of the Story. This little fan fic is about the gang facing the difficulties of life and how there trying to find themselves. Don't worry there will be romance brewing.

Anna Maria Island is an actual place in Florida, and its gorgeous there. So if you guys want you can search it up on google and get an image of it in your head.

Ok I hoped this helped you kind of understand my story. Comment if you liked it.

Byeeee.
