Ally's POV
So my shopping spree with Trish was amazing and definitely much needed. While we were out shopping Trish's phone was blowing up. I asked her who it was, she just said it was her mom talking to her about her grandma coming to visit in the next couple of weeks from Colorado. I didn't really think anything of it, so I let it go.
I've decided to take Trish's advice so when I have the chance I'm just going to be honest with Austin and tell him how I'm really feeling.
He texted me a little while ago saying that our kiss earlier was amazing, that I'm amazing and that he loves me. It's really hard to stay mad at him when he's really this hopeless romantic. He asked me if I have plans, tell him that I'm having a night out with Trish, but I can come see him after. He asked where we were going out of curiosity and honestly I don't know so I told him just that.
While we were out shopping we got a ton of new clothes, shoes, jewelry and other accessories, just got to Trish's house.
"Okay, so let's decide what we're wearing out tonight. I want us to look smoking hot."
"Trish where are you taking me?"
"It's a surprise, just let it be okay?"
"Sure. I actually really need a Girls Night Out with you. So I'm excited!"
So we throw all of our shopping bags onto her bed, start going through our potential outfits for tonight.
I have summer dresses, heels, lots of different accessories etc.
I take a dress out of a bag and Trish insists that I wear it tonight.
"You are going to wear this hot little number."
"Are you saying it's hot because it's red? Get it? Red hot."
Trish chuckles at my lame joke,
"No Ally, it's hot because well look at it. A ruched strapless dress with mesh waist paneling, with your toned abs it'll look sexy as hell. Oh, let's not forget a sweetheart neckline. Oh, it's form fitting so your ass and legs are going to look killer in it. Come on get dressed because I need to do your hair and makeup before we leave as well. "
She continues, "Just put the dress on. We'll pick out my outfit, and then I'll start pairing the rest of our outfits together. How does that sound?"
"Sounds good to me." I undress in her room, change in front of her because I'm totally comfortable doing so. I walk over to her and she zips my back up.
"Okay T, so I think you should wear something black with a pop of color. Oooo how about this one?" I pull out halter neckline form fitting dress with leopard print in the front and contrast black in the back with a keyhole closure. It's not exactly a pop of color that I was thinking of, but she could could with red accessories for that pop of color if she wants it.
"Yes! I think that dress is perfect for me for tonight!" She says excitedly.
"Okay so now that we both have our dresses on. I'm thinking you should wear this chocolate brown leather jacket, red gator looking patent leather heels. As for jewelry, we'll go with sparkly studs, a necklace just so your neck isn't entirely bare. Oh, and for your hair. I'm going to curl it super tight, rake my fingers through it once we're finished so I can give you a sassy and super sexy look."
"Are you wearing a leather jacket too?" I ask her curiosity filling my voice. "It would be cool if we somewhat complemented what the other was wearing."
"Yes, but mine will be black and I'll wear black heels and minimal jewelry like my red rose chunky bracelet because with a print it's just not necessary."
Time Skip
Trish has just finished my hair and makeup. She curled my hair extremely tight and as promised she raked her fingers through my hair, then sprayed it to give it a good hold and polished look. For my eye makeup she did a light brown on the eyelid, in the corner's a dark shimmery chocolate brown, my eyes are popping and this smokey brown-eyed look, purple eyeliner, dark black mascara and it is really looking great. She put minimal foundation on me, a light pink blush, so I don't look flushed and a bright red lipstick.
When I see that Trish is putting on bright fire engine red lipstick she looks at me, "Don't say it."
"You just put red lipstick on me and Austin loves red lips on women."
"Whattttttttttt! No. The red just makes your look even more alluring to men."
I go in my purse, pull out a necklace I haven't worn in a while. Austin got it for me a long time actually got it to make up for my brand new piano falling out of the sky a week or so later. I love this necklace so much, I always keep it with me wherever I go. While I was in the hospital I asked Trish to go to my house to get it because I was just panicking and it brought me comfort. After being pushed down a flight of stairs you want some sort of comfort from home, I didn't even really have to ask Trish because she already knew that I wanted it. No one was aware that she brought the necklace to me. I stopped wearing it because it just hurt too much to wear it. It felt like I had lost Austin forever and to a girl that I never stood a chance against. I may have acted impulsively when setting up the date auction, but I just wanted to raise money to save the manatees. We all make mistakes though. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when Trish asks,
"Ally is that the necklace Austin bought you after you overcame your stage fright?"
It's a heart shaped key pendant with a diamond A in the center, most people would assume that the "A" is for Ally, but when he gave it to me he told me that the A is for Austin, that he was giving me the key to his heart forever.
"Oh my God! It is! You haven't worn that in close to six months." Trish is screaming now I think out of excitement.
"Does this mean you're going to take my advice?"
"Yes, the first step is putting this back on my neck where it belongs." Trish embraces me tightly, and looks towards me with a proud smile on her face.
"I'm proud of you Ally. I'm proud that you're not going to let pride keep you from getting and being with your man."
"Alright. Here let me put this on you." She walks over me with a red bandanna blindfold in hand.
"You're blindfolding me? Really Trish."
"Yes, now shut up and hold still so I can tie it." I sigh, but concede and let her do what she wants anyways instead of fighting her on it.
Scene Change
I'm pretty sure that Trish and I have reached our destination because she's just turned off the ignition. The ride to our destination wasn't awful we just listened to the radio and sang along to her R5 cd with If I Can't Be With You, Loud, I Want U Bad on it.
"Are you going to take this blindfold off me now?"
"Not yet. I'm going to get out of the car, come open the passenger door for you."
I hear my door open and Trish helps me out of the car. Trish takes my blindfold off, leads me into the club we're going to. I still have no clue what's going on.
"Trish why did you bring me here?"
"Well this is a nightclub that has an open mic night. OH really?"
"Yeah and you're performing in less than five minutes."
"Seriously? When were you going to tell me. You know I haven't really performed alone and when I have its been with Austin. What if my nerves become shot and I freeze on stage now?"
"It's no joke. Well, give me a minute because I need to notify the club-owner that you're here."
Trish leaves to I guess check me in, comes back a few minutes later.
"Alright, so the club owner wants you to perform two songs, I have agreed to it on your behalf. I hope you're ready, because you have about twenty seconds until your set."
"Of course I am."
I get the signal to walk up and get onto the stage. I take a deep breath, because it has been a while since I've performed on stage for a while I walk over to the band and tell them which songs I want them to play, luckily they know both.
"Hi there everyone in The Dreamer's Nightclub. My name's Ally Dawson, I'm dedicating the next two songs to the guy I am absolutely crazy about. The first is called Right Kind of Wrong which will be more uptempo while the second song we'll be slowing it down a lot."
I stand in the middle of the stage, the lights behind me start to change different colors mainly green, red, purple and blue.
The Right Kind Of Wrong: Leann Rimes
I know all about,
Yea about your reputation
And now it's bound to be a heartbreak situation
But I can't help it if I'm helpless
Every time that I'm where you are
You walk in and my strength walks out the door
...
I start to play with my necklace as I'm singing thinking of only Austin. I wonder what he's doing right now.
Austin's POV
"Dez! What are we doing at The Dreamer's Nightclub? I told you that I wanted to call Ally. "
"Relax Austin. I didn't tell you where we were going because I thought you would possibly want to fight me on this."
"I want answers now Dez. Well, I'm waiting."
"Wait. Who's that singing?"
I motion for Dez to do and take care of whatever he has to, and push myself through the door to confirm that it is in fact Ally singing.
She looks seriously hot in that dress. Whoa.
Say my name and I can't fight it any more
Oh I know, I should go
But I need your touch just too damn much
Loving you, That isn't really something I should do
I shouldn't wanna spend my time with you ya
Well I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong
Ya, baby you're the right kind of wrong
" I see that you now realize what we're doing here." Dez comes to my side and states towards me with a smirk on his face.
"Is this what I think it is?"
"It's an open mic night. You and Ally communicate so well through music. So, I figured that you had a song in mind that you would want to sing for her, to her etc. This is how you're going to get your girl back Austin, so when you go up in about a half hour it better be good. It's the final part of the plan."
"It will be man. I have a plan."
It might be a mistake
A mistake I'm makin'
But what your giving I am happy to be taking
Wow, Ally's really working the stage and really getting the whole nightclub into her song.
I notice that she looks up and see that I'm in my blue leather jacket, smiles looking directly into my eyes.
Cause no one's ever made me feel
The way I feel when I'm in your arms
They say your somethin I should do without
They don't know what goes on
When the lights go out
There's no way to explain
All the pleasure is worth all the pain
Loving you, That isn't really something I should do ya-hey
I shouldn't wanna spend my time with you ya
Well I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong
..
The right kind of wrong? Wait? Is she saying that she wants to be with me?
Ya, baby you're the right kind of wrong
I should try to run but I just can't seem to
'Cause every time I run your the one I run to
Can't do without what you do to me,
I don't care if I'm in to deep yeah
A tear slips and falls down her cheek.
I know all about,
Yea about your reputation
And now it's bound to be a heartbreak situation
But I can't help it if I'm helpless
Every time that I'm where you are
You walk in and my strength walks out the door
Say my name and I can't fight it any more
She finishes some lyrics and looks up at me directly and I mouth to her. I love you.
Oh I know, I should go
But I need your touch just too damn much
Hey-yeah
Loving you, yeah, isn't really something I should do
I shouldn't wanna spend my time with you ya
Well I should try to be strong, I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong (right kind of wrong)
Baby you're the right kind of wrong
Baby you're the right kind of wrong
Yeah baby you're the the right kind of wrong
...
The crowd erupts and goes absolutely crazy when Ally finishes the song.
"WOOOOOO! GO BABY!" I find myself cheering and hollering with the other people in the nightclub.
Someone in the crowd yells, "NO WAY AUSTIN MOON IS HERE RIGHT NOW!"
Oh well, I guess I blew my cover. Dez did say that I'm performing in about a half hour or so though.
"Yes and I'm here for that beautiful girl on stage right now!" Ally's on stage and I can tell that she's blushing and she just has this glow to her. The glow that she only has around me, I really missed seeing it.
Dez nudges me after I yell that, with a way to go expression on his face. Trish who is standing next to us now, just smiles and for once doesn't glare at me.
"Well Romeo, it looks like you might get your girl after all." Dez states.
"Shh, Ally's got one more song to sing. You're going to want to hear this Austin." Trish presses.
Her angelic voice speaks into the mic, " I'm glad that you liked my uptempo song. Now, we're going to slow things down with a song for the guy that I'm in love with. I'm sure that I don't have to say his name because well he's made it pretty obvious. It's called How Do I Live."
She winks at me as she starts to sing and she's focused only on me. Even though the song is going to be a slow one Ally's standing in the center of the stage, a couple of moments ago she put on her chocolate colored leather jacket before she starts.
How Do I Live: Leann Rimes
How do I,
Get through one night without you?
If I had to live without you,
What kind of life would that be?
Flashbacks come flooding into my mind the good, the bad and the ugly.
Oh, I...
I need you in my arms, need you to hold,
You're my world, my heart, my soul,
Our eyes lock on each other, I can see how emotional this song makes her feel and just how much she means every single lyric she's singing.
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything good in my life,
Oh Ally. I love you so much baby. I'm going to tell you as soon as you let me tonight.
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
Her voice sounds so sweet, she sounds just so perfect. She walks around the stage, looks out to the audience to show that she's connected to them as well.
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?
Without you,
There'd be no sun in my sky,
There would be no love in my life,
There'd be no world left for me.
And I,
Baby I don't know what I would do,
I'd be lost if I lost you,
Our eyes meet and I swear I can feel her heart beating even when she's on stage. It's like I can feel everything that she's feeling right now. It must be a soul-mate thing.
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything real in my life,
And tell me now,
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?
Please tell me baby,
How do I go on?
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything,
She I need you with me,
Baby don't you know that you're everything,
Good in my life?
She And tell me now,
How do I live without you,
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?
How do I live without you?
How do I live without you baby?
She finishes her song and the crowd goes wild once more. She comes off stage and greets Dez, Trish and I.
"Ally you were incredible!" We all say in unison.
"Thanks guys." She beams at us and hugs Trish, then Dez and myself.
"Hey Ally, can I steal you away for a second? I want to talk."
She nods her head in agreement, I take Ally's hand and lead her away from Dez and Trish to a slightly less crowded area of the club.
"Okay well first. The songs you performed tonight were incredible." She blushes again, God I love that I have this effect on her, "Second, Right Kind of Wrong does that mean that even if it seems like we're wrong together and we may not have all our shit figured out you want to be with me? Third, the song How Do I Live.. well baby you don't have to live without me."
She interrupts me, "Austin. Seriously stop talking and just kiss me. I swear it's like my nervous tendencies have rubbed off on you. It's kind of adorable though, but what happened to Mr. Smooth?"
"Oh, he's still here and I'll show you." Before she can say another thing I crash my lips onto hers. "I love you baby."
"I love you too, Austin. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner..I was just trying to protect myself. I was so scared that you would change your mind about me and us again."
"I have to perform soon, but does this mean that we're back together?"
She looks at me coyly and sassy, "If you play your cards right. You're definitely earning brownie points for that kiss."
"Which one?" [kiss] This one? [kiss] this one? Or wait how about this one? I kiss her and put everything I have and all that I am into this kiss. She has to see it. She has to see how much I love her.
"Mmmm I'd say the very last one." She looks at me pensively. "Well Austy, you're up in a few minutes you should go get ready."
I kiss her one more time, drag her with me back to where Trish and Dez are standing just gawking at us.
I pull Dez aside and he asks,
"Are you ready man?"
"Yes, I have something else up my sleeve."
"All in?" He asks and smirks at me. Of course my best friend knows that something is up.
"All in!" I wink at him before I walk up and onto the stage.
A/N: Honestly I'm really really happy with how this chapter turned out. Now this is part 1 of the open mic night. I hope you guys love it just as much as I do. I told you that I'd give you some serious Auslly. ;-) XOXO
