A/N I'll apologize in advance for the excessive use of lyrics haha! Anyways, hope you like it. :) It's kinda long again.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin&Ally nor am I associated with it in any way. All characters belong to Disney, however, I created Ian. All I did was twist the story line. I also don't own the song "Never Say Never" by The Fray, nor am I associated with The Fray.
I make my way to Sonic Boom, where Austin and I will be finishing our song. Today I've gone a little dressier, but still casual, with shorts and a red tanktop with a denim jacket. My hair was curled, like usual, but in a ponytail again.
I greet dad like I always do when I walk into the store, but he calls me over to where he is behind the counter. "What have you and that boy been working on? It sounds great." He tells me. I then realize that the door wasn't closed yesterday while Austin and I were writing. I make a mental note to myself to shut the door today. "A song for a gig he has on The Pier every month." I explain. Dad nods, then dismisses me as a customer comes through the door.
I walk on upstairs to the practice room to find Austin sitting on the couch, going through a pile of CDs I have. He looks up at me and gets off the couch when I walk in the room. "Hey!" He greets me, "Ready to get started?" He asks. I nod and shut the door before making my way over to the piano. He comes and sits next to me.
"Any new ideas?" I ask him, and to my surprise, he nods. "I was thinking, when I was trying to fall asleep last night, about the song. I thought the next few lines could go something like this..."
He begins playing and singing, his voice leaving me in awe as it always does:
Picture, you're the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I smile when he finishes the start of the verse. "That's nice, how did you come up with that?" I ask him. He shrugs and smiles. "Somehow it just came to me. And I don't know how, because I've never been able to write lyrics before. Maybe you're rubbing off on me." As he says his last comment he grins and nudges my shoulder. I roll my eyes, and then try to sing and play the lyrics for myself. They sounded nice, rolling off my tongue in harmony.
He smiles. "I love your voice." He murmurs. I feel my cheeks getting hot and I clear my throat. "Thanks." I reply.
His eyes light up. "Why don't you sing with me at my gig? The crowd would love you!"
I feel my heart fall. "Austin, I can't do that. I have terrible stage fright."
His smile fades. "Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. Just think about it at least, though. Because I think that you would really enjoy it."
I shrug. "I doubt it. Let's keep working on the song."
We decide that the second verse can consist of Austin's lyrics, and some more that him and I come up with pretty fast, to my surprise. Then the second verse would end a little bit like the ending of the first verse. So, it went something like this:
Picture, you're the queen of everyhing
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
To steady your hand
You can never say never
While we don't know when
Time, time, time again
Younger now than we were before
I smile as we finish the second verse, then attach the chorus onto it:
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go...
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go...
He high fives me. "This is great, Ally! Awesome. Now all we need is a really deep ending to pin onto the end of it, and we'll be finished writing it, and I can perfect it for the gig!"
He seemed so excited, I couldn't help but smile with him. "Then let's finish it." I say, and he nods eagerly. "It needs to be something about how, no matter what, they always come back to eachother." I say. He looks thoughtful. "Like, pulling apart? And coming together again?"
I grin widely. "Perfect!" I say, and begin jotting down the ending:
We're pulling apart and coming together, again and again
We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again
I sing them and play them, and then he does the same. He makes it sounds so beautiful, it even touches me, even though I came up with it. We fit in and instrumental. And then we pin the chorus, which repeats four times this time, onto the end. And then we're finished with our song. It's perfect.
Some things we don't talk about
Rather do without
And just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
The same damn problem
Together all the while
You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time and time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go...
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go...
Picture, you're the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
To steady your hand
You can never say never
While we don't know when
Time, time, time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go...
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go...
We're pulling apart and coming together again and again
We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again
Oh, don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go...
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go...
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go...
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go...
Austin stands up, and I stand up too. Then he picks me up, and spins me around. I laugh playfully and yell "Put me down!" Finally, both of us laughing, he sets me down, and I have to grab onto his arm to steady myself.
He smiles at me, and genuinely says "Thank you."
I grin up at him. "Anytime."
His eyes widen. "You mean it?" He asks me, and I nod. "Ally, that's awesome! We can be partners, and we can do this once a month before my gig... It'll be perfect, just like that song. Just like..." But he trails off.
I raise an eyebrow. "Just like what?" I ask, and he shyly shakes his head and says "Nothing." I don't push him any further about it.
I call Trish and he calls Dez, and they meet us at the ice cream shop to celebrate. As I look over at the childish blonde haired boy, I can't help but grin at him as he laughs at some joke Dez has told about his hangover from friday night. His manor was just adorable. I could definitely see this boy and I being music partners. Best friends. Maybe more, but for right now, things were just how I wanted them.
