A/N Is it getting interesting yet?;) hahah. Hope you all are enjoying this. I know I am. :D I'm sorry if the lyrics are off! I wrote them myself without checking them all the way through afterwards, so forgive me!

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 also do not own the song "The A Team" by Ed Sheeran nor am I associated with Ed Sheeran.

That night, Austin and I performed 'The A Team' at his gig. We decided to still be official until we could get this gig over with and talk it out and make sure it was the only option.

So, here we were, on this stage, as I took in a breath to begin the duet.

White lips, pale face

Breathing in the snow flakes

Burnt lungs, sour taste

Lights gone, days end

Struggling to pay rent

Lone nights, strange men

I looked at Austin and we sang the chorus together.

And they say, she's in the class

A team

Stuck in her day dreams

Been this way since eighteen

But lately

Her face seems slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

And they scream

"The worst things in life come free to us

'Cause we're just under the upper hand

We'll go mad for a couple grams

And we don't wanna go outside tonight"

And in a pipe she flies to the motherland

Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside for angels to fly

For angels to fly

I smile as I watch the crowd begin to tear up at the heartfelt song. It's Austin's turn to sing, now.

Ripped gloves, raincoat

Try to swim to stay afloat

Dry house, wet clothes

Loose change, bank notes

Weary eyes and dry throat

Call girl, no phone

We sing the rest of the song together.

And they say she's in the class

A team

Stuck in her daydreams

Been this way since eighteen

But lately

Her face seems slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

And they scream

"The worst things in life come free to us

'Cause we're just under the upper hand

We'll go mad for a couple grams

And we don't wanna go outside tonight"

And in a pipe she flies to the motherland

Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside for angels to fly

An angel will die, covered in white

Closed eyes, and hoping for a better life

This time, we'll fade out tonight

Straight down the line

And they say she's in the class

A team

Stuck in her daydreams

Been this way since eighteen

But lately

Her face seems slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

And they scream

"The worst things in life come free to us

And we're all under the upper hand

We'll go mad for a couple grams

And we don't wanna go outside tonight"

And in the pipe they fly to the motherland

Or sell love to another man

It's too cold outside for angels to fly

Angels to fly

To fly, fly

To fly, to fly, to fly,

Or angels to die

We finished and everyone stood up and clapped. I smiled at Austin, and he smiled at me. I was so glad he had got me to perform that first night on The Pier.

We bow and get off the stage. We're dreading the conversation we now have to have. It's a Friday night, so it doesn't matter how late it is.

We get in his Mustang and drive. We drive all the way to the beach where I attended that first party, where we had had the previous beach day. It's dark, so he grabs a flashlight out of his glovebox, and we walk down the steep embankment.

We sit in the soft sand, and he speaks first.

"I love you, Ally. We don't have to do this."

I smile, the breeze blowing through my curls.

"Austin. We need to break up to get her off our back. But we don't have to stop seeing each other. I already explained this to you."

He squeezes my hand. "It won't be the same, though. You're my girl, Ally."

I looked at him through the darkness, the Miami lights shining in the distance. "I'll always be your girl, Austin."

I saw a grin cross his face before he leaned in and passionately kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and I couldn't get enough.

By Monday, we would no longer be the couple everyone knew about. But we would still be partners, lovers, and bestfriends. I would still wear his promise on my finger and I would still live for moments like these. It would be the hardest thing I've ever done to not hold his hand in public, or to not tell people he was my boyfriend anymore. I didn't know how we would do this, but we would make it through together.

All we needed was each other, Trish, Dez, our music. We would always be together.

Well, I thought so, until he pulled away from the kiss and looked me in the eyes and said, "Ally, I have to go to college at the end of the summer."

I just looked at him. Even though I was expecting this moment, I was hoping it would never come.

He cupped my face gently in his hands. "We still have the rest of school, and until the end of the summer."

I smile at him and will the tears not to fall. That wasn't long enough.

Forever wasn't long enough.
