It was pretty obvious, he was a handsome boy, she was a gorgeous girl, it was a fact that they would eventually fall for each other. Fall for each other is exactly what they did but their story was anything but romantic.
Cassidy was a cheerleader, a ballet dancer, the "perfect" girly girl. She ruled the high school, and could have any guy she wanted.
Austin was the punk, he cared about his music not what people thought.
Austin, he could see past the act she put on to stay popular. He fell for the real Cassidy. All he wanted throughout high school was her. Now Cassidy she'd never admit it but she wanted Austin maybe more than he wanted her.
The problem she cared to much what her friends thought, and they all disapproved of him. They disapproved of anyone not on a sports team and dressed in prep cloths everyday. Austin with his rocker style and guitar didn't match up to Cassidy's standers.
So she toyed with his heart, and eventually he didn't want to be hers in private anymore, but she would die before she let others know of her affair with the skater boy.
The day he asked her if they could have a public relationship was the day he realized just how heartless his love was. That day he started to doubt whether he loved her at all.
"Cassidy, you know how much we care about each other can't we tell people, I'm sure once they see how in love we are they'll accept it." he begged.
"No Austin, we can't ever tell people. It wouldn't fit my image."
"Cassidy I can't do this anymore."
"What are you saying Austy."
"It's me or your reputation." he said already knowing she wouldn't pick him.
"I can't believe you're doing this, you know I can't pick you."
"Cassidy, you're possibly the most gorgeous girl I've ever met, but you need to grow up and bring that head out of the clouds. Reputation means nothing without people who care about you, but now I realize I don't think I really love you, I think it was the idea you would change. Goodbye ballet girl." I said as I grabbed my skate board and rolled away from her.
I had done some research on Austin's first love, the day before our concert. Her reputation led her to a pretty sad life. She got pregnant about a year ago, and didn't even know who the father was.
I would pay to see her face right now. She'd probably be home alone, giving her baby a bottle, while she turns on the TV. And that's when she'll see it Austin Moon, making it. Him on MTV rocking out the way he always did. The way she missed to see when she had her chance with him.
I can see her picking up her, more than likely pink, cell phone and calling up those stupid friends who said Austin wasn't good enough. I can see her telling them that "That loner skater boy from high school is on MTV." trying her best to sound disgusted instead of in aw. They'll tell her they know and they're coming down to the beach to see him live. She'll decide to tag alone in hopes that he would still want her.
As the show is about to start I peek at behind the curtain. Even though I only know of this girl from his stories I recognize her instantly. She's the perfect looking blonde on the front row. She's watching Austin set up for his show, and I know, by her face she's hoping he'll want her back. I know he hates her now but I can't help to feel a little insecure by seeing her, he didn't lie when he said she's gorgeous. Now looking at her I'm starting to doubt all the times he said I'm better.
I know deep down when he sees her face, it's going to rebreak his heart all over again. It's going to remind him of how much he loved her, and how he wasn't good enough. How because of her he always felt not good enough.
But now he has his chance. His chance to rub it in that he was more than good enough. And I can tell by the smirk on his face as he picks up his guitar he's spotted her. He preforms better than I'd ever seen. I knew part of it was to show off for her, and that made me jealous. But I knew the big part was to show her that he was worth it, show her what she missed out on.
Austin finished his first few songs then to my surprise stopped playing. I was back stage, pretty upset he was preforming every song to her, when he usually does me, but I was telling myself what deep down I knew is true, he wants to rub it in.
"So Miami, how are yall tonight." I heard the crowd scream.
"As many of you know this is where I started out, this is where I first started playing, right here on the streets, doing covers of countless songs. This is also where I met my beautiful song writer Ally Dawson." I could feel myself blush, I had gotten over my stage fright years ago, but he always made me nerves.
"How would yall like to meet her?" he said and the crowd cheered. I ran on stage and stood beside Austin.
Austin and I have been dating for the past 2 years, but kept it secret from the media so that they wouldn't get involved in our relationship. I knew what he was doing. He seen Cassidy, and probably felt he was doing the same thing. Deep down I knew he was about to tell the world about us.
"So as you know Ally and I have been bestfriends for about 5 years now, and what I'm about to say is going to make a lot of you Auslly fanatics extremely happy." I could hear all the teenage girl scream, already knowing what was coming.
"I am madly in love with this beautiful woman right here, and we are indeed, as many of you expected, a couple." He said putting his arm around me. I took time to look down Cassidy shooting daggers at me. I also took time to look at Austin and noticed guilt on his face, and I knew exactly why.
I took the mic from Austin "We've been together for about 2 years now, and Austin I know what brought this on and I just want you to know you are in no way bad for keeping it quiet, you are amazing person. You're my skater boy and I love you so much."
"How did you- oh never mind" he said before smiling and kissing me. Even with the cheering crowd I felt like we were alone. Just me and him. Everyone disappeared. As he pulled away and looked at me I could tell the feeling was mutual. I noticed a conflicted look in his eyes right before he broke out in a smile.
He brushed a piece of hair out of my face "Ally I don't deserve you. You fixed me when I was broken, when I felt like I'd never make it, like I wasn't good enough. I know it took me forever to admit but I fell in love with you the moment we met in your dad's store. Working with you these past 5 years has been amazing, I owe my life to you. I stole your heart and you stole mine. Being with you makes me doubt any feelings I've ever had before, you taught me what love is. And I have a question for you." I gasped as he got down on his knee and pulled a black box out of his pocket. "Allyson Marie Dawson, will you do me the honor of being by myside the rest of our lives? Will you be my skater girl?" I laughed. I called him skater boy since the day we met. I jumped on him as soon as he stood up.
"Yes Austin, of course." He slipped the ring on my finger and then we both seemed to notice the crowd.
He turned to me "Did you sort of forget they're there to?" I laughed and nodded. I noticed him look down at a really mad looking Cassidy and flinch at the death glare she gave me. He never liked when people were even remotely mean to me.
I smiled at him and squeezed his hand. "I wrote a song for someone in this audience, and if yall don't mind I'd love to sing it for yall." I smiled at Austin and he nodded knowing exactly which song I meant.
"So a few years ago there was a girl, she broke Austin's heart, and I'd honestly like to think her for that. If it wasn't for her stuck up self thinking he wasn't good enough I would have never had the honor of meeting him. I'm sorry you know who you are, don't you wish you would have saw the man he had potential to be. I can tell by your face you planned to come here and get him back, but you missed out. Maybe next time you'll learn something from this."
He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her, she'd never tell but
Secretly she wanted him as well.
But all of her friends stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes.
He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth.
Five years from now, she sits at home
Feeding the baby
She's all alone
She turns on TV
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin' up MTV.
She calls up her friends, they already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along and stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down.
He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar
Slamin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar
Slamin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boys mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy, and I'm just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
We are in love, haven't you heard
How we rock each others world
I'm with the skater boy, I said see ya later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know!
I'm with the skater boy, I said see ya later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
As I finished Austin ran back on stage and kissed me "Give it up to the love of my life Ally Dawson!" he yelled in the mic as we both watched Cassidy angrily leave the concert.
