I'm back! I changed a couple of things in the previous chapters so please go back and read them, they're important to the storyline. If you're too lazy to read them, I'll just tell you here:

Dez is Trish's fiancé (not Jace) and Austin and Dez's other friend (who's gonna be the groomsman) is Elliot.

Sorry for the change but this will really help the plot.

Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally or any characters I didn't make up.

"Ally…" she heard Austin whisper. "Yeah?" she mumbled as she turned to face him. She was met by sparkling brown eyes that stared deeply into hers. Their gaze intensified as they started getting closer and closer. Their foreheads touched and breath quickened and they felt paradise approaching when…

Austin stopped moving and closed his eyes, "I'm sorry." He moved away and kept a respectable distance between them. "I'm sorry, I wasn't supposed to do that," he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Ally looked at him, "It's not your fault. I was part of it as well." He shook his head, "But I'm the one that started it. You just got out of a long relationship and you need space, besides we're just friends." She nodded, "Yeah, friends." Both of them never hated that word more. "Can I ask you something?" she asked. He looked at her and nodded. "What's that small teddy bear in the cup holder near the gear shift for?" she smiled to break the tension. Austin smiled widely and replied, "My mom and sister gave that to me before I moved here so that I don't drive crazily because I'll remember them." Ally found Austin's love and care for his mom and sister extremely cute, "That's sweet. What's your sister's name?" They started walking back to his car as he answered, "Cassidy, but we all call her Cass." Ally said, "Does she still live with your mom?" He shook his head, "She's 20, so she got her own place, but she still lives a block away from my mom in case something happens."

She nodded and they walked in comfortable silence until they reached the car. Austin opened the door for her and closed it after she entered the car and went to his side. Austin turned on the radio as he backed away from the parking lot. Ally scrunched up her nose as she flipped to another channel, "That's so much better." He laughed and flipped it back, "I prefer this one." Their radio fight continued until a song they both liked was on. They sang along to the words as they had an amazing time. "I'm too hot! Say my name you know who I am(1),"Austin sang loudly to make a point. Ally laughed and shook her head as she shouted over the music, "Not that hot!" Austin gasped as he kept his eyes on the road, "How dare you? I was named 2015's hottest male celebrity by Billboard(2)!" Ally replied loudly over the loud song, "And I was named 2015's worse singer, but that doesn't mean everybody agrees!" Austin abruptly turned the volume down and glanced at her before looking back at the road and spoke seriously, "What? People actually said that?" She was a bit shocked at how he reacted to that, "Yeah, apparently I can't sing the songs I think I can because my voice is weak and I require intensive vocal training." He said, "You don't actually believe that, do you?" Ally shook her head, "It's the media. They say everything to break you down, but you just have to ignore them. I mean, yeah I don't have the strongest voice in the world, but I don't think it's that bad. Every singer has a problem with haters." Austin nodded, "I agree. I have people that are telling me that I'm a bad role model because of what I've done." She looked at him, "What have you done?" He announced, "We're here!" Ally looked out to see that they have reached her home, "Would you like to come in? We can look for the songs and have some coffee." Ally really wanted to know what he's done and wasn't about to let him get away with it.

They walked out of the car and went to the front door. Ally unlocked the door and welcomed him in. Austin looked at the cozy looking home. The front door opens to a medium sized foyer with wooden stairs leading to the second floor on the far end. Double sliding door frames were on each side, the right entrance leading to the living room, the left leading to the kitchen. Ally gave him a tour around the first floor. The left doorframe led to a big kitchen with white marble countertops and wooden cupboards. A big island stood in the middle of the room. The right doorframe led to a cozy living room with a long 'L' shaped white couch, green and brown embroidered pillows were scattered along the couch with a green throw blanket on the couch, big windows, and a dining table on the far end. The couch's back faced the doorway. They settled on the couch and turned to face each other.

"Since you didn't answer me before, I'm asking you again. What have you done that makes people think you're a bad role model?" Ally asked immediately. Austin sighed, "Believe me, you don't want to know." She interjected, "But I do." He looked at the coffee cup in his hand and spoke, "I don't blame them for thinking that honestly, I've done some bad things." She needed to know his story from his side and not the internet's to know if she can get close to him, "Like?" He replied, "It started when I started drinking too much. I have no idea what made me do that. I thought that I was better than everyone else because I was so famous. I punched a reporter for taking a photo of me when I wasn't looking. I ignored my fans when all they wanted from me was to sign their album copies. I walked out of an interview because the water they had was too hot for me. I had a new girl at my house every night. I got into a bar fight. I got arrested twice. I took everything for granted." Ally couldn't believe he did all that. "But, Ally, you have to believe me when I tell you that I've changed. I'm not the same as before. I would never do these things again," he looked at her.

"I believe you," Ally smiled at him, "I'm not going to let your past define you." He smiled, "You're the first one to ever say that, thank you. I just hope my fans will feel the same." She asked, "You still haven't gone out in public after that?" He shook his head, "I stopped all interviews and shows 3 months ago. I'm supposed to release an album this summer. That's my comeback." Ally questioned, "What about our album? You're in it." He replied, "This album is a duet album. I'm not going to be alone in it. I told everyone that my comeback album will be me alone with no else, because that's how I had to make things right after that stage." Ally changed the subject after she sensed it was getting too depressing for him, "I've seen your movies by the way. You're an amazing actor." He looked at her with a small smile, "I am flattered that you took some time to watch my movies, especially when some of them contain 'scenes'" Ally rolled her eyes at what he was implying, "Those were your weakest scenes." They bickered for a while until Austin decided to leave because it was late. They also had found the songs under the cushions when they started having a pillow fight that caused it to move. "Oh, and Ally?" he asked before getting into his car. "Yeah?" He smiled, "You have an amazing voice, don't let anyone tell otherwise."

The next morning…

Ally drove to the studio as she thought about the feelings she had yesterday. Did she want to kiss him? Hell yes. Does she like him? Also, hell yes. Does she want to be with him? Maybe, she didn't know. A car honk disturbed her thoughts, so she looked at the car behind her in the rear view mirror and gasped, "Scott!" He is following her. Ally tried to drive faster than him to lose him but he always followed her. Ally made a plan in her mind to park the car and get into the studio as fast as possible so that he can't talk to her. She parked in the closest spot to the door she could find and took her laptop bag and stormed out of her car. She heard footsteps getting closer behind her as she quickened her pace. She yelled when she felt a hand stopping her by her elbow. "Let me go," she spat at him. He tightened his hold on her upper arm, "What the hell is this?" He held a magazine in the other hand with photos of her 'friendly' date with Austin on the cover. "It's none of your business." Her arm started to throb with pain as he sneered, "You went on a date with him? You've already moved on? What a slut. Moving from one man to another." Ally whimpered from pain, "At least he would never hurt me like you did." He tightened his grasp even more, "Hurt you? You're the girl that everyone takes advantage of and dumps the next day. Don't think you're anything special. I did you a favor by staying with you for 2 years, and this is how you repay me." Ally tried as hard as she could not to believe him, but his words sank in her brain anyways. She fought tears and tore her bruising arm from his hold, "I owe you nothing, you deserve nothing. For 2 years, I was the one doing you a favor by staying with you. Stay away from me." She ran towards the door as she heard him yell, "You'll end up alone! No one wants a whore like you! If I can't have you, no one will!" She ignored him and ran past the receptionist towards the studio room. She held her tears until she reached the room. She didn't expect anyone to be there. Austin was always late to their sessions. She slammed the door behind her and slid down it as she broke down. As she sobbed she heard a voice shout, "Are you okay?!" She looked up, "Austin…"
