Chapter 13:

I don't own Austin and Ally : ( lets go!

Austin's POV

It's been two days since ally and I have accepted to be partners. We were already working on a second song. Dez said he was going to help us put up a video for it. He put one up for our first song called "Break down the walls" and it went viral!

He said for the second video he'll record me perform it tonight at Pizza Palace.

I hope this really does work, I know Ally has her stage fright but I'm working on that.

I just wish she didn't she's just so talented and pretty and-

"So are you nervous about tonight?" Ally asked disrupting my thoughts.

Right now Ally and I are taking a well deserved break as we walk down the pier eating ice cream.

She sat on a bench waiting for a response.

"Oh um, no! Austin Moon never gets nervous!" I said sitting on the bench.

"Really I thought you would be." She says licking her fruity mint swirl ice cream while I ate my strawberry ice cream.

"Why?" I asked.

"Well, because you're not just performing another cover to a song, you're performing a song that we wrote. What if they don't like it?" she asked her eyes getting wide.

"Alls It's a great song, I'm sure they'll love it." I said with a smile and I could see her slowly calming down.

"Besides the worst thing that could happen is that they hate and start throwing pizza at us." I laughed while the worry returned in her eyes.

"Ally I'm kidding!" I said trying to ease her but I still laughed.

"So what-" I said but a old lady and what looked like her husband interrupted me.

"Do you think one of you kids can take a picture of us?" she asked while she took out her camera.

Ally smiled and was about to stand up but I gestured her to sit back down.

"I got this. Just sit there and look pretty." I said to her while boo-ping her nose as I stood up.

I took a few pictures of the old couple who said thank you to me and then told me a really long story of their past. They have been together for 50 years, that's a long time. They told me a bunch of other stories and then finally said goodbye. Eh, old people got a love them.

I walked back to Ally who was staring sadly at her hands.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked sitting back on the bench.

"I finished my ice cream." She said sadly which only made me laugh.

"Hey Austin?" she said looking straight at me.

"Hm?" I answered. She started leaning in and surprisingly so did I. She leaned in further until are faces were only centimeters away. I looked at her lips again but she distracted me when she said

"Don't boop ma nose!" she said laughing with a smirk which only made me laugh.

"Let's play a game." I said turning myself around so I was facing her on the bench. She did the same as we sat with our feet up.

"Okay. Ooh like I spy?" she asked.

"How about Truth or Dare?" I suggested.

"Just the two of us?" she laughed.

"Yeah come on it'll be fun." I said while she sighed saying "okay."

"Okay Truth or Dare?" I asked her.

"Mmmm Truth." She says. Whoa big shocker. Sarcasm intended. She always picks Truth.

I thought for a moment eating my melting ice cream when something that I've been curious about pops into my mind.

"Are you still a virgin?" I asked regretting it the moment the words left my mouth.

"Is it to personal? I can as something else like-" I started.

"Yes I am." She says cutting me off.

"Really? You didn't with that um Dallas guy?" I said nervously.

"No, I know it's stupid, but I guess I want the first time to be special I guess." She says sheepishly.

"It's not stupid I know how you feel." I say admitting it too.

"Wait you never?" she said with wide eyes.

I shook my head admitting that I've never done it either.

There have been a couple of times I was about too but backed out for the same reason.

"I thought you would have." She smiled.

"Nope." I say popping the 'p'

"So your turn Truth or Dare!" she asked me. See. This is what I love about Ally we can get through and awkward situation and move on like it was nothing.

"Dare." I say with a smirk.

"Okay I dare you to buy me a pickle!" she says excitedly.

"Really?" I roll my eyes at her as we stand up to go buy her a pickle at the pickle booth. She really doesn't know how to play this game.

"You know you could have just asked, I would have bought it for you anyways." I say.

"Well it's more fun this way." She says sitting back on the bench while I just shook my head at her.

We sat until she finished it, which didn't take long and then I stood up.

"Come on let's get back and go over the song." I said and offered my hand to her.

She gladly took and we made our way back to her house.

Hand in hand, but as friend's right? Right.

We got to the house and went into the practice room.

"Austin you can let go of my hand now." She laughed as I let her go.

"Sorry." I said nervously letting go of her hand making her laugh.

"Alright so let's go from the top." She said as we sat on the piano.

Hours Later still (Austin's POV)

I was currently driving on the way to Pizza Palace with Ally next to me. We worked on the song for a while at her house until we finished and it came out awesome! We picked up Dez and Trish on the way and I looked over to Ally.

She hasn't said anything since she got it the car and I knew she was nervous. Not only because she was quiet, but because she is vigorously chewing her hair at the moment.

I wasn't nervous. But I was nervous because Ally was nervous. Did that make sense? Oh well.

We got out the car and walked into the place and EVERYONE was there. The whole beach! Even my parents!

We talked for a while and that's when they called my name to get on the stage.

Ally's POV

They called Austin's name and he is on the stage setting up. Oh god.

What If they don't like the song?

"Hey everyone!" Austin greets the crowd. When I say crowd I mean 'crowd' so many people came, thanks to Dez for emailing and texting EVERYONE to come.

What If they do start throwing pizza at me? Maybe Austin will forget to mention that I wrote it.

"This song was written by me and my partner and best friend Ally Dawson." He said. Really? Was the last name really necessary?

I looked around and everyone was looking at me. Great.

"This one is called Better Together." He smiled as everyone leaves me to turn there attention to him.

He winks at me before he starts singing.

"Uh-huh oh oh, Uh-huh oh oh oh

Sometimes, I get in my own way
I need someone to say
"Hey, what are you thinking?"
Your words, they're always just in time
Just like a perfect rhyme
Like, you're not even trying
Like pieces of a puzzle
Without each other,
We're in trouble, trouble

Hey, I will always stay
By your side forever
'Cause we're better together
Hey, there's no other way
We'll make it through whatever
'Cause we're better together

Remind me when I'm losing touch.

When I'm a little much.

Pull, me back to reality.

You, keep my feet on the ground because when your not around.

I feel I am floating. Like pieces of a puzzle without each other.

We're in trouble trouble!

Hey! I will always stay, by your side forever cuz we're better together!
Like the waves need the sand to crash on
Like the sun needs a world to shine on
You're the bright side of every day
Me without you just isn't the same

Hey, I will always stay (stay)
By your side forever (ever)
'Cause we're better together
Hey, there's no other way
We'll make it through whatever
We're better together

Uh-huh oh oh, Uh-huh oh oh oh." he sings as everyone applauses and the girls go flying up to him.

"Ally that was so amazing I can't believe you wrote that!"Trish says attacking me into a hug.

"Thanks everyone!" I hear Austin say and then he walked off the stage and diving into the pool of girls that were waiting for him. Boys.

"Ally, sweetie." I heard someone say so turned around and saw Mimi grinning ear to ear.

"That was amazing honey!" she says engulfing me into a hug. I stayed frozen for a while because ei haven't really talked to her since the wedding.

"Ally its okay, Austin told me everything." she said making me want to sink more.

"He did?" I asked.

"Yes, and I'm sorry. I miss Penny so much." She said her eyes watering.

"But, we will talk about that later, All I know is that she would be proud of you. Great song honey." She smiles and then walks away.

I looked for Austin in the crowd of people and finally found him signing some girls arm. He looked like he's enjoying himself. Boys. Remind me to tell Cassidy about this later…

"Ally over here!" I hear Dez's voice so I turn around.

"Hey Dez." I smile.

"I just posted the video five minutes ago! Look!" he said showing me the views on his Ipad.

"Oh my god, a million views already?!" I exclaim.

"Yeah. I know!" he exclaims.

"I need to find Austin!" I say going back to the crowd to look for him.

I was so happy I wasn't cleaning pizza sauce out of my hair, instead being congratulated by literally everyone in the place.

"Ally?" I hear a voice once again so I turn around.

I turn to see my friend and Austin's new cousin Eliot. Still weird.

"Hey Eliot." I smile.

"Hey Alls." He said making me cringe a little because only Austin calls me that.

"I just wanted to say that the song was great!" he said smiling.

"Thanks that means a lot!" I smiled.

"I also wanted to ask if you maybe, wanted to go on a date?" he smiled. Whoa. Didn't see that one coming. I know I'm officially DONE with Dallas but I still don't think it's a good idea.

I looked at Eliot who had a hopeful smile on and was starting to look nervous.

"Sure I'd love too." I smiled. What?

"Really? Great I'll pick you up tomorrow." He smiled and gave me hug and walked away.

Maybe I should have said no. But I promised Trish to have fun this summer and one date can't hurt right? Right. Plus, he's always been so nice I'm sure I made the right choice.

After that almost everyone congratulated me about the song including Mike and the other Mike (Austin's dad)

And almost everyone in the place.

But the one person I really wanted to see was just nowhere to be found.
I looked for him for a while, but just couldn't find him. I was about to give up and walk to join Trish when I felt two arms pick me up and spin me around I immediately knew who it was.

"Ally the love me!" Austin exclaims.

"Yeah, I know just put me down!" I laugh as he puts me down.

He was giving me a huge smile and it was starting to creep me out a bit.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.

"Sorry, I'm just glad they like your song." He blushed.

"Our song." I corrected him.

"Right, are you hungry? Pizza's on me." He smiles as we walk to a booth.

"Can I get the pizza pickle spectacular?" I asked smiling.

"You can get anything you want." He smiles.

We spent the rest of the night eating, talking, mostly about the song and how many views the website got with Trish and Dez. We're kind of a pact now but we have other friends too.

After that Austin takes all of us home.

Trish walks into the house ahead of me but I stay in the car.

"So I'll see you tomorrow?" I say facing Austin.

"Yeah bright and early." He smiles.

"Aww bright and early?" I whine.

"Fine I'll come at noon." He says with a laugh.

I nod and turn around to walk into the house but he speaks again.

"Hey Alls?" he questioned.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"Thanks." He said smiling.

"For what?" I ask confused.

"For helping me with my dream." He smiled.

"Well I had no choice." I said with a smirk.

He gave me a confused look so went on.

"I made a promise to little boy, on an edge of a pier once." I said making him smile.

"And I always keep my promises." I said as he just smiled.

"Besides."I said turning around once again.

"It's my dream too." I said to him then walked into the house. I heard him drive off and I went upstairs to my room and as soon as I hit the pillow I was out like a light.
