Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally or any characters I didn't make up.
Austin stepped onto the set of the photoshoot for his solo shoot dressed in white jeans, gray shirt, and black leather jacket. He gave the camera the most serious look he had while posing. Ally had already finished her solo part and was waiting for their couple photos after Austin finishes.
"And we're done!" the cameraman, James, exclaimed with a smile, "Austin, you did great. The images look awesome." Austin smiled and thank him as Ally walked over to him. "You are going to make me seem like a mouse in the couple shoot," she stated as she reached him. "Is that so?" he smirked at her. "You're too tall!" she jokingly complained. "You're short, princess, face it," he said. She glared at him until the hair and makeup artist walks over to fix his hair.
"Okay, guys, I want the sexiest looks you can manage and make me feel like you are the 'it' couple everyone wants to be," James said from his position behind the camera. And they began posing as a couple.
"You wanna go out for lunch?" Austin asked her as they finished the shoot. "As long as you're paying," she smiled. They walked to his car not caring about the paparazzi surrounding them. Austin opened the door for Ally before going to his side. "Prepare for the news these paparazzi are gonna spread," he joked as he drove out of the parking lot. "They can't make up anything. Just two friends going out for lunch after work," she stated.
They both hated the fact that they were just friends, but they had to accept it. They never really talked about it anymore. It could be because they only met at work. This was the first time they had time to actually hang out. "Yeah, friends…" he trailed off. Suddenly, Ally remembered something, "Hey, can I ask you something?" Austin glanced at her before nodding. "A few weeks ago, you were all over the news for getting into a bar fight, may I ask why? Didn't you say you were gonna stop these stuff?"
He winced before replying, "I know, I messed up again. My manager gave me one more chance, I get into trouble again, I get help." Ally watched him with sharp eyes, "But why did you fight with him? The poor guy was bloody and almost unconscious!" He sighed, "We were both drunk, I said some things he didn't like, he said some things I didn't like, and things just happened. Luckily I was stronger." Ally's jaw dropped at his arrogant smirk, "And you're smirking! How the hell is that supposed to make this better?" He parked the car in front of the restaurant and turned to her, "It happened, it's over, move on. You have no idea how terrible the things he was saying were. I'm gonna control myself and limit the damage I can cause to others' lives. Happy?" Ally crossed her arms, "How do I know that you're not gonna hurt your surroundings when you're mad now?" His expression turned hurt as he asked, "You think I'm gonna hurt my friends? Is that how you trust me?" Ally sighed and shook her head, "N-no, I'm just used to guys turning violent when they're angry. It's not your fault." He put a hand over hers and gave her a soft smile, "I understand, but that doesn't mean I will hurt you. I would never even lay a harmful hand on you. You're safe with me." Ally leaned over the console and hugged him tightly. "I trust you, and I know that you will get better and get back to your fans better than before," she mumbled into his neck. He chuckled and replied, "I hope so."
"Can you believe the album drops tomorrow?" Ally asked as they finished their meal. "I know right. I know it's gonna be a huge hit. I can't wait to see everybody's reactions," he smiled. "We didn't really post anything about it on social media, didn't we?" she asked, "We need to announce it on our accounts as well to let the fans know we're both happy about it." Austin nodded as Ally prepared to take a selfie together. "Nah, that's too boring," Austin said as he looked at the photos, "what about this?" He took the menu and covered half his face with it so only his eyes showed with a surprised expression. Ally looked at him from the corners of her eyes and furrowed her brows to form a weirded out look and took the picture. Ally captioned it with '#ToTheMoonAndBack out tomorrow.' She
Her phone almost immediately blew up so she turned it off. Austin screenshotted the post with the caption and posted it on his account 'What she said… #ToTheMoonAndBack' and tagged her. "Did Scott try to contact you after that incident?" Austin asked as they walked to his car. "Uh, yeah, so I changed my number," she replied. The police contacted her a few days after the break in to tell her that there was no evidence that it was Scott, so they couldn't arrest him, but they advised her to get a restraining order against him for her safety, which she did. Scott wasn't exactly pleased with that and threatened her through voicemails and texts. Austin drove them back to the set to get Ally's car.
"Man, I can't wait to go back home this summer," Austin breathed out as he drove. "Didn't Dez tell you?" Ally asked. "Tell me what?" he glanced at her. "Trish told me that they're planning on moving back to Miami this summer. She asked me if I wanted to move back as well," Ally informed. "Do you?" Austin questioned as he parked the car. "I'm thinking about it. I mean, I'll be closer to my family, far away from Scott, with my best friend. But one thing is holding me back," she stated. "I think you should go. You'd be safer there. Nothing is worth holding you back," Austin said. "I know this may sound silly, but I don't want to move because we'll be miles apart. We may be just friends, but I just don't feel good leaving you," Ally fiddled with her fingers in her lap.
"Honestly, I kinda wanna move back home too," Austin said after a long pause. She looked at him and spoke, "Really?" He nodded, "Yeah, LA has gotten me in nothing but trouble, and I think a fresh start is what I need. We can still work from there too." Ally smiled, "So we're going home?" Austin nodded with a big smile, "It's about time." They hugged each other tightly. Ally turned her head and kissed his cheek before pulling away and getting out of the car. "I'll see you at the album release party tomorrow," she said. "See you there," Austin saluted her.
Woohoo! They're going home. Now you know the name of the album! I hope you like it.
This chapter is just a filler, but I had to update because it's been a long time. I'm going through finals and don't have enough time to write. This chapter has been waiting to be finished for two weeks. On the bright side, I finish school in a week, so I'll have plenty of time to update.
