"So, I have this amazing idea for you Ally." Austin smiles at Ally.
"And what is that most amazing idea my blonde boyfriend." She laughs and he laughs too.
"You want your songs to be heard right?"
"Yeah."
Austin and Ally are talking in front of Austin's fireplace late at night. They lay on a blanket in front of the fireplace and listen to the crackles of the fire.
"What if I got you a gig to play at the Cafe in the Mall of Miami?"
"You did?" Austin smiles. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Ally pulls Austin in for a hug. "You are the best!"
"I know."
The Next Day
Ally gets herself ready for her performance at the Cafe. She grabs her song book and heads out the door and goes to Austin's Place so they can go to the cafe together.
"I am so nervous. What if I fail? What if people laugh at me? I'm so scared." Ally says.
Austin puts his hands on her shoulders and looks at Ally, "You will be fine. More than fine, you will be perfect. You are such a talented person, Ally. There is nothing to be afraid of. You are going to make so much people happy by just your voice. Your lyrics speak more than anything so you are going to rock that stage."
Ally smiles. "Thanks Austin. I needed that. You always know what to say."
"No problem."
They walk out of the house and Austin drives to the Cafe. She waits to be announced and walks on the stage and smiles. She waves at everyone in the Cafe and smiles.
"Hi, I am Ally Dawson and I am going to be singing a song that I wrote. I dedicate this song to my boyfriend. He found me and picked me up off the ground. This song is called Love Me" Ally says. She walks over to the piano and puts the microphone on the mic stand and starts playing the piano.
Love Me- Katy Perry
I lost myself in fear of losing you
I wish I didn't do
But I did
I lost my own, my own identity
Forgot that you picked me for me
But now, I don't negotiate with insecurities
They always seem to get the best of me
I found I had to love myself, the way I wanted you to...
...love me,
No more second guessing
No, there's no more questioning
I'll be the one defining who I'm gonna be
No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally
I'm gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me
Sometimes I wish my skin was a costume
That I could just unzip
And strip
But who I am is who I'm meant to be
And it's who you are in love, in love with
So now, I don't negotiate with insecurities
They're gonna have to take a back seat
I know I have to love myself, the way I want you to...
...love me,
No more second guessing
No, there's no more questioning
I'll be the one defining who I'm gonna be
No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally
I'm gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me
[2x]
No more standing in my own way
Let's go deeper, let's get closer
No more standing in my own way
(I want you to love me)
No more second guessing
No, there's no more questioning
I'll be the one defining who I'm gonna be
No concealing my feelings, or changing seasonally
I'm gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me
No more second guessing
No, there's no more questioning
I'll be the one defining who I'm gonna be
No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally
I'm gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me
Ally finishes singing and she listens to the claps and whistles coming from around her. She looks at Austin who has a huge smile on his face as he claps and whistles. Austin grabs Ally's hand and helps her off the stage. Austin gives Ally a quick kiss on the cheek. And whispers, "I'm so proud of you Ally."
Ally is so happy right now and she feels such a rush through her body. The never thought that she would be able to make it through that performance without breaking down.
Austin's POV
Ally had such a good performance. I'm so proud and happy that she found the strength inside of her to be able to perform on that stage. She sounded so beautifully. She's is such a talented girl who deserves to be heard.
Ally and I spend the rest of the day together. We had lunch and went shopping for a few thinks. And don't tell anyone but I got Ally a gift for her birthday. Yes remember her birthday. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't remember when my girlfriends birthday was? I drive Ally home and walk her up to her house. And I start to walk back to my vehicle but stop to hearing screams.
Ally's POV
I walk in and run to my room. I hear my door open from behind me.
"Hello, Ally. Miss me?"
