It has been two weeks since I moved back in the house and since Ally and I got off our pause. Ally started online classes a week ago and I must admit it is sad not seeing her at school or eating lunch with her. I came home yesterday and found her laptop on the living room table and he school work up but she was fast asleep. I laughed and covered her up with a blanket. She has been pretty tired lately and I want to ask the doctor about that when we go in today for our half-way checkup.
I am trying to get out of school but it is a pain. Girls are trying everything to get me to date them or anything. I had one girl today at lunch come up and try to kiss me. I pushed her away and left. Alex is actually being really cool and helping the best he can. Trish threatens to kill anyone who tries to break me and Ally up. While Dez just stares at everything like he is a zombie.
The record company is getting on my nerves. They want me and Brooke to meet up again but she won't have anything to do with me. They want a new song and how can I get a new song will Ally can't focus on anything. She has got pregnancy brain and everything is crazy at the house because of it. The record company is threatening to cancel our contract and everything. I don't know what to do. Ally always knows but I can't stress her out and she can't focus anyway. It is really bad yesterday I found her keys in the freezer and the waffles in her purse.
I love her I really do but she always keeps me organized and on the go. Now that she can't focus on anything I am having trouble. My class work is late and my grades are suffering because I never know when I have a test or when the homework is due. I need my Ally back.
I walk into the house to pick Ally up for our appointment and find her asleep again. Oh come on. We are already late. I walk over to the couch and shake her a little, "Ally?" she moans and moves a little. "Ally, come on get up." She opens her eyes, "What Austin? I am tired." I take a few deep breaths. I need to stay calm. "Ally, sweetie. Come on, We are late. We have a doctor's appointment today." She nods and gets up and starts to walk to the car. "Ally?" she stops and turns. "Maybe you want to change." She looks down and blushes before going upstairs and changing. Wow, she almost went to the doctors in one of my jerseys and her underwear.
She comes down and we are at the doctors only ten minutes late. We are rushed right in and the doctor is right behind us. No waiting today. "Hi Ally. Austin. What is going on today?" I look down but back up. "Ally, has pregnancy brain. She can't focus on nothing and is really tired so adding those two together, well we were late and I am sorry." She laughs, "Oh, honey you got it early. It should go away really quick though. It is just that you have so much stuff to think about and it drives you crazy. About being tired that is normal. The baby is probably on a whole another schedule. "Ally nods and the doctor just smiles and looks at me. "Austin, everything is okay. It will all even out soon." I nod, "Let's look at you baby."
She brings the baby up and even after all these times it is still amazing. I love hearing that heartbeat and seeing that baby on the screen. I already love her so much. The doctor goes to get the pictures and Ally turns toward me and smiles. "Austin, thank you for dealing with me." I laugh, "Anytime baby." We look back at the screen and just smile.
Ally's Pov…
I am trying really hard to focus which the doctor told me to do and it seems to be helping. I know I have been crazy and I am so sorry. I just don't know what is going on. I feel bad that Austin has to deal with me. I see Austin struggling with his homework and I am done with all my work for class for two weeks so I move a little closer towards him. "Need some help?" he looks up and shakes his head. "Austin come on, I can see you are having trouble." He sighs and moves the paper a little closer. I see it is math and that is an easy subject for me.
I start to explain to him how to do some of these problems and he just stares at me confused. "How can you focus now?" I laugh, "I am focusing on staying focused." He nods and is soon done with his homework. "How is everything at school and work?" He sighs and looks down. "Think you can handle this." I nod and he moves closer.
"Well, school is okay." I stare at him, "Okay it is horrible. I am failing almost every class because i don't know when I have test or when anything is due because you are not telling me. The girls are driving me crazy. They are trying anything and everything to try and get me to date them. Alex helps the best he can. Dez is well Dez and Trish threatens to kill anyone who tries anything." I am just staring at him letting everything sink it. "I didn't think you could handle it." I laugh, "Austin, I was letting everything you said sink in. Okay about the girls nothing I can do there. However it seems like Trish has it taken care of and I trust you." I smile and kiss her. "About the failing school well we need to fix that. I will help you with your homework and studying the best I can. I will email your teachers and get your schedule. We will print it out and I will set alarms on your phone for when things are due." He smiles and looks at me with amazement. "Have I ever told you how amazing you are?" I smile, "yes you have. Now Work?"
"Well, that is bad, really bad. They want me and Brooke to meet again but she won't have anything to do with me. They want you me and her to meet up and come up with a song. But like I said, she won't have anything to do with me. The record company said I need to come up with a new song for me only. They also threatened to end my contract if I don't start giving them what they want." I just stare at him shocked. All of this has been going on and he hasn't told me anything.
"Okay, I will try and come up with a song for you. Did you learn anything about Brooke from your meeting?" he nods, "She is basically a girl version of me." I nod, "Okay, I can get a song for you and her together. I will send it in and then they can get you two together." He just smiles and pulls me in for a hug. "Ally you are amazing. I love you so much. You are saving my butt."
Later that night I look over and see Austin is asleep. I get up and walk downstairs and start to work on his songs.
"Everyone knows who you are, So live your life, Ay ay ay." "Never mind what haters say, ignore them until they fade away." "So live your life." "Just live my life."
As I am writing the lyrics down I realize I like them but they won't work. I start to think and come up with some other lyrics.
" My eyes are wide open and by the way, I made it through the day. I watched the world outside. By the way, I'm leaving out today."
"I just saw Hayley's comet she waved and said," Why you always running in place?" Even the man in the moon disappeared somewhere in the stratosphere."
"Tell my mother, tell my father, I've done the best I can. To make them realize. This is my life, I hope they understand. I not angry I'm just saying."
"Sometimes goodbye is a second chance."
"Please, don't cry one tear for me."
"I'm not afraid of what I have to say."
"This is my one and only voice. So listen close, it's only for today."
"I just saw Hayley's comet she waved and said," Why you always running in place?" Even the man in the moon disappeared somewhere in the stratosphere."
"Tell my mother, tell my father, I've done the best I can. To make them realize This is my life, I hope they understand. I'm not angry I'm just saying."
"Sometimes goodbye is a second chance."
"Here's my chance. This is my chance."
I stop writing and decide I like this. It kind of fits with our lives right now anyway. I decide to just have him sing from tell my mother to second chance again and end with 'sometimes goodbye is a second chance.' I realize I love this song and Austin's song is done. Now I need a duet.
"Bet your window's rolled down and your hair's pulled back
And I bet you got no idea you're going way too fast
You're trying not to think about what went wrong
Trying not to stop 'til you get where you goin'
You're trying to stay awake so I bet you turn on the radio
And the song goes"
"I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby, baby"
"The highway won't hold you tonight
The highway don't know you're alive
The highway don't care if you're all alone
But I do, I do.
The highway won't dry your tears
The highway don't need you here
The highway don't care if you're coming home
But I do, I do.I bet you got a dead cell phone in your shotgun seat
Yeah, I bet you're bending God's ear talking 'bout me.
You're trying not to let the first tear fall out
Trying not to think about turning around
You're trying not to get lost in the sound but that song is always on
So you sing along"
"I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
I can't live without I can't live without you, baby, oh baby"
"The highway don't care
The highway don't care
The highway don't care
But I do, I do."
"I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
I can't live without I can't live without you, baby, oh baby
(The highway don't care
The highway don't care
The highway don't care
But I do, I do)"
[x3]
"I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby"
I have the song finished and I look at my book. There are notes everywhere for this duet and I wrote the whole song out instead of just parts of it. I got really into this one. I smile and close my book so happy that I finished what Austin needed done.
I walk upstairs and get close to Austin and can finally fall asleep now that the baby is asleep and I have that work done
Only I didn't realize Austin could sleep either and was texting Brooke.
