Hey guys! I got my inspiration back. It's a semi-long chapter, I suppose. I really like how this turned out.

By the way I deleted the Hiatus notice and the other Author Note I had uploaded, so only the chapters I wrote are on this story.

Enjoy!

Austin's P.O.V

"Wow." I breathed. She blushed and flipped her book closed. That was way better than what my idea was for the song. "We can just do a new melody, I don't want to steal something this amazing from you." She smiled and nodded as she placed her fingers on the keys. "Ideas?" I shrugged and I could tell I was irritating her a bit but she shrugged it off. "Ok. How about a song about new friends? Of course not a love song." Ouch, that hurt. Wait. Why was I hurt by that. I don't like Ally. Do I? "Yeah, that sounds like an awesome idea." She mindlessly began playing some chords and began singing.

I love the things you do it's how you do the things you love

But it's not a love song

Not a love song

I love the way you get me

But correct me if I'm wrong

This is not a love song

Not a love song

"So that could be the chorus?" She stated, but also asked for my confirmation. "Yeah!" She laughed at my enthusiastic response, and got up from the piano. "Well, I have to go get back down to the store. You can stay up here if you want."

"Nah. I'll come keep you company downstairs."

"Ok Austin."

We silently walked down the steps and I sat on the counter as Ally strode behind the counter ready to help customers. She frowned at me and I chuckled "What? There isn't a sign saying 'No sitting on the counters' Is there Ms. Dawson?" She tried to hide a smile "No, but I should make one, now shouldn't I Mr. Moon?" I laughed and got off the counter to sit in the designated seating area in the corner.

Ally's P.O.V

I couldn't help but worry that Austin might have noticed how quickly I blew off the idea of a love song. It wasn't that I didn't like love songs… I just didn't want Austin or anyone to think anything of us writing a love song. So, I went for the exact opposite. Not a love song. I know, I know. Stupid idea, right? Right. Maybe I do have feelings for Austin, that's why I got so paranoid about writing a love song. No. I will not be yet another girl who falls all over Austin. I won't. But his blonde hair that is always messy, but you can tell it's on purpose. Or his brown eyes that you could get lost in. He's just so… Snap out of it Dawson. He's a friend. Nothing more, nothing less. You're not going to fall head over heels for this guy. Remember what happened last time you did that?

I gasped, why did I have to think about that. My breathing sped up and I sunk behind the counter. No. I can't have emotional break down in front of Austin. I hope he doesn't notice I disappeared. I knew I jinxed it when I saw a shadow in front of me. I looked up and sure enough, there was Austin. He sat down next to me. "What's wrong?" He asked, with clear concern in his voice. "Long story." I huffed and laid my head down on my knees. "Ally, you can tell me." I looked up at him, "Promise you won't make fun of me?"

"Promise."

"Ok. It happened 2 years ago."

Flashback (No One's P.O.V)

Ally Dawson was a Freshman at Marino High. It was turning out to be the perfect year. She had her best friend Trish in all her classes, she had a locker that was super easy to get to and she was getting straight A's, like always. The best part of all was how she had every class with the cutest guy in school, Elliot. She had the biggest crush on him and he always seemed to find time to talk to her. No one else, just her. He was one of the popular guys, but he wasn't one of those popular guys who thought of himself as a better individual than everyone else in the school.

Eventually Ally and Elliot became pretty good friends, and it seemed like they both wanted to be more than friends. One day, Elliot asked Ally on a date. Ally was excited beyond belief. She was about to go out with the guy she had the biggest crush on. She agreed to go with him to a nice restaurant on a Friday. He would pick her up at 6:30.

Soon enough Friday rolled around and Ally wore her favorite red short sleeved dress with some wedges. She curled her hair and waited for Elliot to pick her up. He was right on time and they headed out to dinner. It was perfect, just like one of those cheesy romantic movies. Soon enough it was getting late so Elliot took Ally home. He walked her to her door and said goodnight. Then Ally worked up the courage to kiss Elliot and as she was leaning in, her grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back. "I'm sorry, I don't kiss or date total losers." Ally gasped and started to sob as Elliot left and drove off.

End of Flashback

"He led me on completely. I normally could've dealt with that but he had to go and insult me too. From then on Elliot would always make fun of me, and became the snob that I believed he wasn't. I let him get too close to me and that gave him the chance to hurt me." I wiped a tear off my cheek and turned to Austin. "I'm sorry, I know it's stupid to get worked up over something so stupid."

"Ally, that isn't something stupid, he completely led you on and that's not ok." He paused. "How come I've never seen Elliot?"

"He moved shortly after that. Besides, I don't think you were one of the popular guys in Freshman year, were you?"

"No. I'm not really one now, I mean my best friend is Dez and quite frankly the popular guys hate me."

"They're jealous."

"Why would they be jealous?"

"Because you have all the girls drooling over you."

"All the girls?" He raised an eyebrow at me and I playfully shoved him.

"Except for me and Trish."

"Oh?"

"Yup. To me you're just another foolish popular boy."

"Oh, now that hurt." He joked putting a hand over his heart.

"And a baby."

"Oh now you've gone too far Dawson." I shrieked as he tried to tickle me. I jumped up and sprinted towards the practice room. He wasn't far behind and I didn't have enough time to lock the door because as soon as I turned around after shutting it he wrapped his arms around my waist and picked me up. "Austin! Stop!" I said laughing. He didn't listen and instead dropped me on a bean bag. "Ok. Now help me up." I declared. He chuckled "As you wish madam." He grabbed my hand and pulled me up with more force than expected because I flew forward and almost fell, if it weren't for the arm that wrapped around my back and caught me. Austin pulled me up and we were basically toe to toe. I looked up at him and he was looking at me. My breath hitched and I didn't know what to do, as I knew I could move but at the same time I didn't want to.

Austin's P.O.V

Now is my chance. If I kiss her she would either feel the same way, or maybe be freaked out. If she freaked out would we stop being friends? No. I know Ally better than that. We might avoid each other for a few days but soon enough it would be back to normal, like it never happened. I noticed she was still looking at me, not moving an inch. I knew I wouldn't dare leading her on like Elliot, but would she know that? Would she be too scared, even if she did feel something? I decided to risk it. I started leaning in and hoped she would trust me.

Ally's P.O.V

I wanted him to kiss me. I did. I knew I did. Without a doubt I wanted to kiss Austin, but I was too scared. I didn't want to get rejected again. I still hadn't had my first kiss, because I was too afraid of finding another Elliot. Was I really a loser? Is that why no one has ever shown any interest in me? I looked back up at Austin and noticed he was still looking at me. How long had we been standing like this? Suddenly he started leaning in, and my heart leaped. I didn't have to risk it. He was leaning in which meant he was definitely interested in me and wasn't leading me on. I started to lean in too and just as we were millimeters apart I heard the door knob turn. Austin and I quickly jumped away from each other as Trish and Dez walked in.

Austin's P.O.V

Just my luck. Just as we were about to kiss Trish and Dez barge in. Ally and I both panicked and jumped away from each other. That was the perfect opportunity to show Ally how much I cared for her, maybe even loved her and it was gone. Gone. Now we had to continue on like nothing ever happened. Great. I glanced over at Ally to see she was already talking to Trish. Well more like listening to Trish, because Trish was clearly ranting about something to Ally. Ally glance over at me and just gave me a quick smile before turning back to the angry Latina.

What did you guys think? Good? Ok? Bad? Let me know! Be sure to review, favorite, and follow!

I personally really liked this chapter. I'm glad I decided to do dual P.O.V's for this story, because it really completes it.

Really really sorry about making you guys wait for a while, but hopefully this made up for part of it? (Doubtful? Haha.)

Until next time my friends.
