Ally's POV
Back at the beach.
I've been thinking about The Kiss in the script, and I'm thinking Dez did something. Something to make us feel feelings for each other. I mean, Austin & me. But I also have a feeling that Austin made him put that in the script. But, I've also realized that I don't have a problem with it. I've come to like Austin. As I'm thinking about this, I don't notice Austin trying to get my attention.
"Ally? ALLY!" He shouts.
"What?" I ask nonchalantly.
"Dez says it's time to shoot the next scene." He tells me.
"Which is.." I start. He sighs.
"It's the scene where Troy tries to battle Claws, gets scared, and Lauren turns into a total hero." He says. "I think that's a weird way it turns out."
"I like that. Most movies say the girl has to be weak and helpless. Dez is a great writer." I say. He suddenly appears beside us.
"Thanks, Ally!" Dez says. "Okay, people, let's shoot this!" he rushes off with his camera while Austin and I get in our places.
"ACTION!" Austin runs over to the giant claw, prepared to battle it. The claw breaks his "weapon," and he screams and runs past me. That's my turn.
"Time that you meet your mark, Claws." I say, taking up my own "weapon." I battle the claw, and after a few swings, it falls to the ground with a thud. "Claws is gone. Gone for good." I say dramatically. I then turn and walk off the set.
"CUT!" Dez yells. "That was awesome, Ally!" He says. Austin looks at me. "Now that we're done filming, time to put my spark to work." Dez soon leaves the group. I look at Austin like "what the heck is going on?" He shrugs. I have to ask him.
"Do you like me?" I ask.
"Uhhhhhh..." He stutters. I grab his shoulders.
"Answer me. Do you?" I command. He sighs.
"Ally, I helped Dez write his script." Austin somewhat confesses.
"I kinda figured that out."
"And.. I told him to write in The Kiss." I smile.
"Austin, I appreciate you being honest. But why didn't you tell me before? I seriously need answers."
"Because Dez told me he had a Plan. I have no clue what that Plan consists of, but I realize now it has something to do with you and me." He explains. For some reason, unknown even to me, I had no words.
In The Practice Room, a Week Later
I'm trying to finish my new song. I've almost got it. And then I can write Austin's new song. He's been begging me for like, ever about it. I have some ideas for him.
I take my time
But it never passes by
If I stay here one more day
I'll lose my mind
It's all my choice
How I express what I feel
Only I know how to keep it real
And oh
It's burning from the inside out
Like a darkness
Tryin' to blow a candle out
And I think it's a sign
I'm gonna
Take the drive and try to find
A way to leave the world behind
Another place with open space
Where I know I can live my life
I'm gonna
Run around and scream and shout
And do it one day at a time
I know that I can clear my mind
As soon as I leave
This world behind
I'm gonna turn it on
I'm gonna turn it up
And never once will I look down
I'll never give it up
I'll never ever stop
Until I finally hit the ground
And then I repeat the chorus twice. I still can't think of exactly what to write for Austin's song.
I'm still sure he likes me.
