Ally's pov.
I can't believe Austin! Juliet is a nice sweet girl and he turned his back on her just like that. And today is the first day of my paying job. So yay me.
I wanted to expose Austin before he could do any damage to Juliet, but Juliet has been acting different and I don't know why, it feels like she will either break or do something crazy any second.
Like when she asked me to jump off the pier with her. I know I wouldn't get hurt, but I didn't feel like taking the risk, Juliet pretty much made it out as if I didn't jump off the pier with her the whole universe will fall apart.
So like any other person...I did.
Pretending to be ok with everything that's going on is hard enough, now pretending that I'm cool with Austin...is probably impossible. I wish we could go back to the good old days when I was the little adorable dork everyone loves...who says I can't though.
I got up out of the covers and put on a aqua blue shirt with some white shorts. They matched the colors of the Cafe perfectly. I grabbed my small denim book bag and filled it up with lots of stuff. For instance like my IPod, sunglasses, backup bathing suit, water, and my phone.
I felt like I needed one more thing. I dug into my suit case and pulled out a leather book with an A on it. I smiled...hello old Ally.
I walked down the stairs to see Austin and Juliet playing a game of pick up sticks. I ignored them, mostly because Juliet was having fun. I grabbed a 'breakfast' cookie my aunt made, which is a gluten free sugar cookie.
I went up to Juliet awkwardly and tried my best to act normal "Hey Juliet I'm off to work" I said, she looked at me with disappointment "Bye good luck on your first day" She stood up and gave me a hug.
I finally got out the urge to meet Austin's eyes, he looked at me with guilt. I just gave him a quick glare and covered it up with a nod.
I walked out of the house. And looked around to see if any one was there. I quickly pulled up my hair into a tightly loose ponytail and walked towards the Cafe which is only across a few blocks away.
Mackenzie greeted me at the door. I clapped my hands with excitement, I couldn't wait to start working...aka making money.
She laughed and walked into the Cafe which was named 'The Sign of the Mermaid'.
I quickly followed behind her and looked at all the cool things around the cafe. We walked to the front, while making sure all the tables were clean. It was a sit yourself kind of place, so you don't have to worry or seating people.
Mackenzie passed me an apron "You are going to play waitress, because I don't like people" I laughed "Then why open a Cafe, that has the awesomest cinnamon rolls on the island?"
"Because food" She says like its the most understandable thing ever. I nod and wait for customers.
comes in with his hands in the air. "I have Money and I want to buy a Cinnabon, and if the waitress impresses me I might leave a good tip" I giggle I'm happy the Dez I knew is back. He was wearing normal clothes like usual, but today he wore crazy socks.
I take out one Cinnabon from the display case, and placed it neatly on a tray. Knowing he likes orange juice, so I poured some just for him.
I walked over while spinning the tray on my hand I put down the orange juice and Cinnabon, I tried to keep the tray spinning I then flipped it up in the air and caught it easily.
Dez gave me a standing ovation, he passed me 20 dollars and told me to keep the change. Which is weird because the cinnamon roll costed only $2.78, I smiled at him and took the 20 to the cash register and gave myself the left overs.
I did the same thing to other customers. Mackenzie would laugh as I did tricks with my tray.
By the end of my shift I had made $80 in tips. I couldn't help but feel proud of my unique technique for waiting tables.
"Can I have a Last Mango in Paris" a voice said. "Coming right up, you can seat yourself." I replied. I looked up to see Austin smiling all innocent at me. "Don't give me that look" I hissed, he smirked at me and acted confused "What look?" is choking him an option I thought "The look that seems like you didn't turn your back on Juliet like that." he gulped and scratched the back of his head, obviously nervous that I brang it up again "I need to talk to you about that"
"There's nothing to talk about" Austin gave me an annoyed look.
"Yes, there is, can I tell you why I did it" I ignored him and checked on how they were doing with the smoothie...there still not done yet?! How long can it take to blend fruit.
I sighed and looked at him "Fine, go ahead with your story" Austin grinned.
"Well Carter is a big gossip, and if I say something that sounds nice or generous...well...he'll ruin my reputation as a singer" I rolled my eyes.
"That doesn't give you any right to turn your back on Juliet, she trusts you, your like her big brother." Austin looks at me with guilt in his eyes. I had to turn away from melting from his stupid puppy dog eyes that he was now trying to give me.
"I know your mad at me, but please you know I wouldn't do anything to hurt her or..." he paused a little, I turned around "you" he finished. I stared at him...stupid hazel eyes!
"Ok, I forgive you but that doesn't mean we are best friends." he nods flashing me his trade mark smile. I rolled my eyes I hate it when he does that. Juliet is very picky of the people she trust so maybe I should take that as a sign and give him a chance.
"Last Mango in Paris" the cook called. I swiped the drink and handed it to Austin. "On the house."
He then gave me his real smile the one I remember from when we met.
"Are you done with your shift" he asked anxiously.
"Yeah why?" he smirked "We're going to have Austin and Ally time!" he throws his hands in the air in exaggeration. I couldn't help but smile at the thought. "No." I simply said, Austin gave me a look.
"I wasn't taking no for an answer."
"Why, your ego can't take it?" I tease. He looks at me defensively.
"Not my fault I want to spend time with you" I laughed.
"Okay...fine you got me" Austin jumped up and down like a little kid. This was probably the first time I've seen him without his phone.
I grabbed my small book bag and hugged Mackenzie goodbye. Austin tapped his foot impatiently for me to start hurrying up. "So where do you wanna go?" I shrugged "Maybe the dock you and Juliet were taking about." I smile started to play on my lips. "Then wait here I have to change to my bathing suit" he gave me a confused look "You'll see" I answered his expression.
I used the one I had in my backpack to change into, the top was a blue that flows and the bottom was just a plane white bottom. I put on my clothes over it and headed back to Austin.
"Ok ready" he asked, I nodded "The dock is only a few blocks away."
We walked in silence for awhile, "So how was your tour?" I asked breaking the silence. "It was good, it was fun to see all these people come out for me...just me because they like my music. It was an awesome feeling." I looked at him to see if her was being sincere...he was.
he kept going "But you know a little lonely sometimes, and you're away from your family, so that kills the mood. And they make you be friends with these people who can boost you publicity which is Carter." I tried understanding what it would be like to be all alone, and I realize no wonder he changed, he didn't have anyone there for him.
Just as I felt closer to Austin, he shut me out again, he started to play some games on his phone not bothering to see of I was fine. "So how was New York" he questioned.
"At first everything I imagined, I didn't regret a thing, but later on when your all alone in a big city...nothing really mattered anymore. Then stuff happened and I was all alone AND sad in a big city" I didn't mention the part why I was sad, which was when my mom died from a disease in Africa and my friends not replying to me around the same time.
Austin looked at me with pity. It was sad I guess, but I spent years crying over it so the pain has become immune I suppose.
We arrived to the dock. It had a little building at the end of it, which sold home made necklaces.
Austin met my eyes, I smiled and looked away.
Austin's pov.
I could see that Ally had blushed. I sighed, thank god she still is easy to make blush.
She took off her clothes and now she was in a bikini, just because me and Ally aren't best friends anymore doesn't mean I don't melt when I see her in a bikini.
We walk to the end of dock, to where they were selling shark tooth necklaces and carved turtles. At first we just walked around until walking was to much for both of us, so we sat At the end of the dock.
"Do you feel like jumping in" I joked
"Shut up that was for Juliet remember" I rolled my eyes.
"Uh huh ok well what I heard is that this wasn't your first time" now her eyes widened.
"Ok fine, me and Juliet have done it before and that was only because we were bored"
"That doesn't mean you jump off a pier." Ally giggles
"Well I'm sorry for worrying you" I looked at her with loving eyes and put my hand over my heart, she turned to look at me and burst out laughing.
"Do you have your bathing suit on?" she asked.
"Yeah why?" she shrugged.
"No reason" I smirked at her. "You want to see my abs don't you?" she looks at me surprised "No I just wanted to know"
"So you can see my abs" she rolls her eyes.
"No, I don't" she argues, I laugh. I took off my shirt and her eyes went wide. Her cheeks tinted pink, but she covered it up.
"So you like?" I ask nudging her.
"No." she states then she did something unexpected...she pushed me off the dock. The water was surprisingly warm. I swam to the surface and saw a laughing Ally taking pictures of me.
I splashed water at her.
"Nice try Moon" I grabbed her foot as she placed the phone down and pulled her off the dock. I have never heard her scream that loud.
She surfaced and I could see that she was angry. "Your going down" she threatens. I start swimming back to shore and surprisingly Ally's tiny legs were able to keep up.
When she reached me. I smiled sweetly at her. I saw Ally pick up something and chuck it at me, and of course being the idiot I am I catch it. It was a fish...and it was very much alive, it started to flop in my hands and I couldn't help but scream.
Ally put her hands up in victory. I shot her a glare, but all she did was throw another fish at me, which I dogged.
"Girls aren't supposed to like touching fish" I exclaim she gives me a look.
"Boys aren't supposed to scream like a girl" I glare at her.
"Too shay" she smiles and walks on shore.
"We should get back home, I want to hear how their day was" she says. I nod, I don't really want to leave, but I know Juliet is probably wondering where I was.
Ally grabbed her backpack and met up with me at the end of the dock. I could see her pull out a leather book and a pencil. And of course I know that all too well. She scribbles in her book, completely pretending I wasn't there.
"What you writing" I ask, she ignores me again. "Seriously Ally." I now could see she was hiding a smile. "If you must know, I'm trying to write song lyrics." she looks at the color painted sky. "Trying to get inspiration?" I guess, she nods frantically. "We can write a song together, just like old times" I see her tense up at the thought. "or not"
We walk in silence and that's because shes really into what's she's writing...I think.
When we get to the 'house' I can see all the lights on and it was really quite...something didn't feel right.
Trish's pov.
Me and Roxy got back from my first day at work and let me tell you...NAILED IT!
The customers loved my ideas for them and I got to eat lots of salt water taffy. When we got home it was very quite, which was weird because Juliet is supposed to be home and we all know she is never quite.
We walk up stairs to find an almost dead Juliet laying on the ground. I screamed terrified of the sight. I rush to her side, Roxy feels her pulse, Juliet looks like she's trying to breath but can't. I take out my phone and call 911, Roxy was so calm through all of this, then I realized she was trying to comfort her daughter saying that it'll be ok.
Austin and Ally walked in, I quickly rushed down the stairs. By the time I get down there I'm practically crying my eyes out. "Austin we need you to carry Juliet down here so the a-a-ambulance can carry her out of here in time." I say in between sobs, their eyes widen. Austin ran upstairs leaving Ally to hold me "It's alright Juliet wouldn't want anyone looking at the negatives"
I know Ally was only trying to be strong for me, because I could tell she was going to start crying. Austin carried Juliet down the stairs, she was frantically looking for air. Ally ran to her side.
"You can do it" she whispered, Juliet held Ally's hands tightly. She smiled and sang a song I didn't recognize.
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
I don't wanna waste the weekend
If you don't love me pretend
A few more hours then it's time to go
As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you keep warm
It's too late to cry
Too broken to move on
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
Misplaced trust in old friends
Never counting regrets
By the grace of God I do not rest at all
And New England as the leaves change
The last excuse that I'll claim
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my...
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Oh, oh
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
You are my heaven
Austin stares at Ally as she finishes. "It was the song she used to always sing around the house when we first wrote it" Ally explains. Juliet calms down and took an actual breath, she still looks like she needs more air, but it was a start.
The ambulance arrives, we let Roxy ride with her, As we wait to tell the others. Dez is the one who arrives and he looks confused more than ever. Roxy called me and said Tom is already there.
"We need to get to the hospital, Juliet wasn't really well breathing" Austin try's to explain and he just made it sound worse. Dez freaks out and starts doing this weird thing he does with his hands. We got into the car which Ally is the only one who knows how to drive.
We're silent at first then I try to break it "I forgot how well you sing Ally."
"Thanks, I didn't really know what to do...all I knew was that song would calm her down" I could see Ally starting to tear up.
"Its ok Ally, you don't have to be strong around us, we're your friends." Dez assures her.
For the first time since we got here she finally looked at all of us and smiled "Glad to have you here" and I knew it was sincere.
The hospital is surprisingly big, since we're on a very small Island. We rushed into the hospital and the first thing we see is Roxy crying into Tommy's shoulder.
Ally walked over to them and all I could hear was muffled voices. She came back crying "They said Juliet could be in possible life danger and the reason is unknown yet." Austin wrapped her in a hug me and Dez joined them.
The doctor came out, "Juliet will be staying the rest of the night till we find out what caused this."
"Well I'm staying" Ally stubbornly says. We all nod and stand next to her.
The doctor smiled "Ok we'll call you when she's ready for visitors."
I walk to one of the operating rooms windows. The gang follows closely as we watch Juliet lay there peacefully with a breathing machine next to her.
And right when I'm about to go sit down something catches my eye.
Her hand moves...
Ok so let me tell you this isn't the story changing chapter, I needed something tobring them together. You'll find out what happened later.
Comment ifyou liked it. I don't own Austin and Ally or the song.
Byeeeee
