Ally's pov
My flight leaves in about an hour and I feel more alone than ever. It's true what they say 'the more that your alone, the more you think' and sometimes I think too much.
My palms are sweating and I have no idea why. Everything feels weird like something is going to happen, but I don't know what.
My heart raced as I picked at my necklace that said Ally on it. A flood of memories came back consisting of all the things this necklace has brought me. Like when we got mine and Kira's mixed up, it was the first time I discovered my feelings for Austin...
This is the first time I found myself having him sneak back into my thoughts. And it hurts, it hurts really bad. When I decided it was time to let them go it wasn't a choice, they moved on i and there was me stuck in the dust. When I shut them out, I literally just stopped thinking about them completely.
Maybe I put too much pressure to let them go, I should've took baby steps. This feels like I was addicted to smoking then one day I just stopped. I want them more than ever, I just didn't allow myself to be hurt anymore.
Someone was standing in front of me. I look up to see a guy around my age with dark hair and grey eyes.
"Are you ok?" he asked, I touched my cheek and felt it wet. I realized that I've been crying. I tried to calm down, but I couldn't. "Ally?" I looked at him again. "how do you know my name" I managed to say in between sniffles. "Remember me? From Trish's birthday party"
***flashback***
I can't believe Dallas turned me down. I mean I can't dance whatsoever, but that took guts. Austin looked at me in pity. I turned around so I wouldn't have to look at his hazel h eyes. Gosh why does he have to look all cute in his outfit...I meant Dallas of course .
I needed space, so I decided to crawl under a table. And to my surprise someone else was there to. He looked at me with these amazing grey eyes, I stared at him "H-hi" I stuttered. He smiled at me "I'm Eric and you are?"
"Ally." I inched closer to him. "So are you having boy problems?" he asked. I gulped "You have no idea" I got a text from Austin, I ignored it. "I don't believe you, I mean you are obviously one of the prettiest girls here, and that blonde boy especially thinks so" I giggled.
"What did I say to make you laugh, not that I'm complaining because you have an amazing laugh" I looked at him surprised, no one has said something like that to me before. "Well that blonde boy is my best friend" I said and I blushed a little I get that a lot. "Oh please the way he looks at you, he looks like one of those guys who is ready to kiss you in the rain, especially in that red dress" I laughed and played with the hem of my dress that Trish picked out before we came here.
"So do you have girl problems" I questioned, he smirked at me "Actually I have guy problems" I looked at him with big eyes. "I'm gay...well I'm bi but I prefer guys, girls are just..." "complicated." I interrupted, he nodded. I smiled "I meant all that stuff I said though, your different, I just prefer guys."
"it's ok I'm fine, but I should call Austin" Eric gave me a little wink I burst out laughing "Not like that!" he kept giving me a look until I gave him a playful shove "Well I should go, till our paths cross again."
"bye."
***end of flashback***
I stood up from my chair "Eric!" I jumped up and gave him a hug. He was like the only person who could make me laugh as much as the gang.
He wiped my tears from my eyes and looked at me " Why are you in New York" he asked I told him everything about the gang, about Austin. And he never let me frown for a minute. "Well I won't be here for very long I'm boarding in a few minutes" he smiled, but I could see that there was a sadness in his eyes.
"Hey! No sadness" I said, Eric looked at me and laughed, "I just missed you a lot, and now I'm going to miss you even more." his words came sinking in and I felt like crying again. I grabbed my bag and found a note pad I wrote down something really quickly and gave it to him. "It's my number, just call me or text me...just...please don't give up on me, I don't care if all we talk about is your new boyfriend...just...don't end up forgetting me" I said tears filling my eyes. I know me and him have been talking for only an hour, but I realized something if someone makes you happy don't you dare let them go.
My plane was ready to Board, he gave me a kiss on the head and a big hug. "I will never let you go" he said, honestly it's funny that my gay friend is nicer then my ex boyfriend.
"But first we are going to do something" he said, I was confused at first "I'm leaving though" I said getting even more confused by the second "Your boarding not leaving, and 'we' are going to film a short cover"
"WAIT WHAT?!" before I could protest he pulled me onto a chair "Now stand there look pretty and sing while I film"
I took a deep breath I haven't sung since well...when the gang hurt me.
I can't get over you
You left a mark on me
I want your high love
And emotion
Endlessly
"Thats all I'm doing" I said to the camera. "Oh come on! The camera loves you" Eric said, I laughed "fine one more the first was an original, this one is from vine"
Stop
Don't talk to me
Loser lame oh
Wannabe
Like oh
Totally
"Bravo! Bravo!" Eric exclaimed I giggled. "Ally Dawson everybody!" I got down from the chair and hugged Eric for the last time. "goodbye" I said to the camera, and slowly started to walk away making my heart grow heavier and heavier as I took each step.
When I made it to the entrance I looked back to see Eric jumping up and down waving at me. I smiled and waved back.
I turned and went into the airplane.
At first I was trying to find my seat which was in the way back, when I noticed that I had a whole row to myself. I sat down at the window seat and within a few minutes the plane took off. I could feel tears starting to fall from my eyes, when you have been all alone for as long as I have, you just start to get attached to people easily which hurts you in the end.
I closed my eyes and prepared myself for the journey ahead.
~4 hours later~
I'm here! Finally I made it. I walked out from the plane soaking in Florida. I have missed this place so much, and I'm happy I didn't throw away my summer clothes. I walked around reminding myself of what the Tampa airport looked like.
I grabbed my luggage and waited for my taxi. I'm not going to lie I was sweating like crazy, but soon my body adjusted and I was fine.
Being in New York for 3 years boosted my confidence by a lot, I had no problem calling a taxi over and I must admit I enjoyed some of the boys stares when I jumped onto the road and whistled at the cab drivers.
I walked into one, and gave the cab driver a warm smie. "Anna Maria Island, and I pay extra if you can get me there in half an hour"
He smiled at me and stepped on the pedal. It pushed me back and I couldn't help but let out a laugh, I was joking but he didn't looked like he got the hint.
I watched at how the palm trees doubled as we drove further into the south. And that's when I saw the sign 'Welcome to Anna Maria Island' I let out a squeal which made the cab driver laugh.
I told him he can drop me off at the coffee shop. "Thanks for the ride, here's double your money" he took it and smiled "thanks ma'am"
I walked into the coffee shop and completely froze...Juliet. Her long brown hair was curled and had a caramel blonde at the bottom. She was sitting all alone which made guilt flood through my body. I never thought how this affected her, she was being bullied at the time when we left, and we couldn't be there for her.
I walked over and tapped her on the shoulder, she looked up and shocked filled her eyes. "OH MY GOD ALLY! I CAN'T BELIVE YOUR HERE" she screamed, I gave her a hug "yeah and I'm here to stay" I think she was even more shocked cause she started to squeal. "I MISSED YOU SO MUCH" I laughed as we sat down to talk.
I forgot how it feels to have someone there for you...it felt...nice.

Trish's pov
Finally I'm done packing. My flight leaves tomorrow at 6am, which now that I'm thinking of the time...is probably not the best idea. I'm planning to surprise Juliet when I come, she won't see it coming.
My luggage was at the door waiting to leave. I took a deep breath, my condo was now empty...it kind of felt lifeless. I have no idea where I'm going to sleep considering I sold all my furniture for some extra money, well this is going to be interesting.
I sat down on the floor and downloaded the celebrity hights app, it keeps me updated with all the stars.
When I opened the App something caught my eye, it was a new video called Austin and Ally. I didn't know if I should click on it but I did.
"Hi I'm Christine Bloom and welcome to Celebrity hights, now just last night Austin Moon had tweeted 'Last day of tour, let's get drunk!' but at the party he did anything but that. A source tells us, he was dancing with a girl when suddenly he spaced out, then he left the party in a rush and practically ran to his tour bus. Has fame caused another super star to break down."
"On the other side of the country, Someone posted a video of Ally Dawson singing on a chair in an air port, then saying goodbye with tears in her eyes. She walked into the plane and waved bye to whoever was behind the camera. It looks like Ally might be making a comeback in the music world, after breaking up with Austin and dropping her record deal. The thing is how will Austin react to his ex singing again. Find out soon on Celebrity hights."
How will Austin react to this? He has so many girls around him, I don't think he'll mind.
I decided to click on the video of Ally singing and it brought tears into my eyes.
******video******
"WAIT WHAT?!" Ally exclaimed, the camera man pulled Ally onto a chair "Now stand there look pretty and sing while I film" he said.
Ally took a deep breath.
I can't get over you
You left a mark on me
I want your high love
And emotion
Endlessly
"Thats all I'm doing" She said to the camera. "Oh come on! The camera loves you" the guy said, Ally let out a laugh "fine one more the first was an original, this one is from vine"
Stop
Don't talk to me
Loser lame oh

"Bravo! Bravo!" He exclaimed Ally giggled. "Ally Dawson everybody!" Ally got down from the chair and hugged The camera guy, which now i could see it was Eric my friend who came to my party. "goodbye" Ally said to the camera, and slowly started to walk away.
When She made it to the entrance she looked back to see Eric jumping up and down waving at her. Ally smiled and waved back.
She turned and went into the airplane
*****end of video*****
I think I started to cry a little. I totally forgot Ally gave up Music for awhile when she left for New York. When I listened to her sing again it made me want her here even more. I tried my best to calm down, but I couldn't. The worst thing is she looked happy with Eric, like she was happy with us.
I saved the link to the video and sent it to the group chat. I know Ally doesn't respond to it, but it was worth a shot.
Trish: I miss her even more when I see this video.
I clicked send.
I sat there on the floor, just not knowing what to do anymore.
_hawaii_
Dez pov.
Juliet is surprisingly happy, whenever I talk to her she acts like she's floating. This is especially weird, because just a few days ago she was crying because someone intentionally poured something on her.
I see she posted something on instagram. It was a video...oh my god. It was a video of Ally playing piano singing while Juliet plays guitar. I recognized the song she was singing it was the slow version of double take.
Ally's eyes were filled with joy as she sang the chorus, there was no glint of sadness or grief. She had moved on and she was happy. That's where she was going, she went to visit Juliet. I smiled at the video, the caption read 'My beautiful and talented cousin surprised me today!"
Well I guess I'll be surprising the cousin then. My flight leaves tonight, since I'm all the way in Hawaii I need a head start.
Its 6:00pm right now and honestly I can't wait to get there. It feels like my whole world is changing and I can't wait to get it in perspective.
I got a notification from our Convo, it was a link to a video from Trish. I opened it up and almost chocked. It was Ally singing again, this time with Eric who was a friend of Trish's.
How do they even know each other.
Ally was standing on a chair singing an original song in the airport. In the end of the video she walked out onto the plane.
I sat down on the floor, a little shocked. I started to text on our group Convo.
Dez: Your right. I miss her a lot more now.
I grabbed my luggage, and left. It's time to go to Anna Maria island. I breathed in and got into the cab I called. The airport is only a few minutes away so it didn't take long.
I got out and rushed into the airport. There was gossip that Austin had cracked at some party. I could understand that, he is some big super star with fake friends. On the news he just said that he wasn't feeling good, but I don't believe or care anymore. Austin tweeted that he said and I quote 'I was sick, no need to worry, my friends John and Carter helped me out so thank them' he had moved on after our convo with Juliet. And that was it, it was just a some random text he sent when he was bored.
I boarded the plane, and sat down in the front. It was open seating so it didn't really matter. I took out a book me and Austin made when we were 15...15...it sounds so far away, I can't believe it's over.
I remember when we first made our cologne just for Austin. I never thought in a million years we wouldn't be friends. I still don't believe it.
****8 hours later****
I'm here and it's 3 in the morning. I checked in at the airport hospital. Juliet told me to call her so I did.
It took 3 rings until someone answered and it wasn't Juliet.
"Hello?" the voice said. "Hi is Juliet there" I asked. "Yeah she's getting chocolate milk, we are having a sleepover"
"Who's this?" I questioned "Ally. And who's this, maybe I can take a message." oh god it's Ally. I started to panic. "um... It's Dez, just tell Juliet I was upgraded to stage manager." I could hear the phone drop from Ally's hands. I could hear the shuffling through the phone.
"Congratulations, I'll tell her to call you back, she is tired out" I could hear the stutter in her voice. "Thanks, and hey I saw your video. It was amazing!"
"Thanks, Eric wasn't supposed to post it though" ally said. Annoyance clear in her voice. I laughed "How do you know Eric anyways?" she sighed "it's a long story" I wasn't interested in going to sleep anytime soon. "I've got time"
She breathed and told me the story, it took about 30minutes to clear things out. "So even then people thought you and Austin had a connection"
"Yeah, weird right?" I nodded my head, but realized she couldn't see me. "Not for me it isn't I always knew there was a spark between you two, people don't call me the 'love whisperer' for nothing" I said Ally burst out laughing "no one calls you that" she mimicked Austin. I laughed.
We finally decided to say our goodbyes. I hung up and was ready to drift to sleep.
_palm springs_
Austin's pov.
Everyone thinks I cracked. I didn't crack, I was just confused. If I could blame this on Ally, I would. I need to get over her isn't 3 years enough. Why did I even fall for her in the first place?
I paced through my room which was crowded with boxes, since I am moving to Anna Maria soon, I needed to pack my things by Friday. I am officially leaving at 8pm tomorrow, by the time I get there it will be 1 in the morning.
My manager says I can stay with an old famous surfer named Roxy while I stay there, and honestly I don't care where I'm going I just want to get away from all this.
I looked at the new story that has been making head lines on my IPad and what I saw almost made my heart skip a beat...the head line was 'Ally Dawson making a comeback?"
Yay.
Just what I needed, someone else talking about Ally. I clicked on the video in the link and waited for it to load.
When it started my mouth dropped. It was Ally singing a song at the airport. I totally forgot how pretty she was. I watched as her dark hair swayed as she sang and her soft caramel curls bounced as she laughed. She looked the same, but only more grown up.
She smiled at the camera and giggled. She started to sing a cover of a song from orange is the new black. In the end I heard a guys voice cheering her on. The way she blushed as he said bravo made me angry. Ally then became serious, her eyes filled with tears as she hugged the guy, who now I could see was Eric. He picked her up and spun her around, Ally squealed in delight.
Eric placed a kiss on her head, and watched her walk slowly away. I watched intently as Ally looked back one more time, then left.
I laid myself on my bed, emotions ran through my mind. I was feeling angry that she let him kiss her. I was mad that she had a boyfriend, I was mad that she looked so beautiful as she sang, I was mad because...she moved on.
That's it!
I'm moving on, this will be the last time I think of her. Bye bye Ally Dawson you are officially out of my life. I thought of that time, my manager told me when you move on you can have one moment to yourself of that person, get through that moment and you're on your way.
Let's see...What will be the last thought of her...I decided to relive the most hurtful time of me and Ally's relationship/friendship, watching her leave for New York.
*****flash back*****
"Ally don't go, come with me on tour" I pleaded, she looked at me with hurt in her eyes. I can't believe in a few minutes I lose the love of my life. "I have to go out and live my life Austin. And it's time for you to do the same."
A tear left my eye, and Ally must've noticed because two tears left hers. "You know your not losing me right? I'll be here. I'll still be the little Ally you know and love, nothing will change that." she said It so confidently, but there was glint in her eyes that I hadn't noticed before...doubt.
I did the only thing I could do. I picked her up and kissed her. She always knew how to make the kiss soft and sweet. She tangled her hands in my hair which made the kiss deeper.
I let her feet touch the floor, then let her go. She hugged me tightly like she didn't want to let go. "I love you Austin"
"I love you too Ally" she cried into my shoulder. I brang her closer to me.
The last call for the plane was announced. We let go of each other and I could see her eyes red an puffy from crying. She went on her tippy toes and kissed me gently, on the lips. "goodbye Moon"
I smiled "goodbye Dawson" she walked away, she stopped at the entrance And turned around. Her dark brown eyes met mine and a little smile crept onto her lips. I smiled back. She turned around and left.
*****flash back ended******
I looked at myself in the mirror to see if I was crying. It turns out my eyes didn't even water, but my heart ached badly. That happened in the past and I wasn't going back.
I moved my boxes to the front of the tour bus. And sat down on the couch trying to catch my breath.
"Are you ready for tomorrow?" Debbie asked. I nodded my head "Can't wait" I smiled, because I knew I moved on.
Hello Anna Maria Island, Goodbye Ally Dawson
Or so he thinks. I have so many things planned for this story. So I can't wait to start posting more. Yes Ally and Dez are now on a talking basis, but the others might not be as easy to open up to. This chapter was more of a starter chapter, the next chapter is where the story really begins.
Comment if you liked it.
Byeeee.
