Hey guys! Sorry for the delay... I was at a sleep away camp for two weeks but now I'm back! I hope you enjoy the chapter! I tried my hardest to make it good.
I wake up with Austin's arms around me and I smile. I try to get up but his grip only gets tighter. "Austin" I whisper but he doesn't answer. "Austin..." I say a little louder and he shakes his head. "Austin, I need to get up." I tell him sternly and he groans in response but doesn't let go. "Austin!" I screech but he's still holding me. "Just stay here..." He mumbles, his eyes still closed, "c'mon Austin, I want to get ready and make breakfast before we have to go to your parents' house." I tell his, trying to grab his arms off of me. He peeks an eye open and and he groans but lets me go. "I'm gonna go shower." I tell him and he watches me until I reach the bathroom door. "Care to join me?" I ask him with a giggle and he smiles, gets up and picks me up. He brings us both to the shower and turns on the water and smiles down at me.
LINE BREAK
Once we finished showering and eat breakfast, we head to Austin's parents' house. Before we even get to the door, Mrs. Moon had opened the door and was smiling at us. I gripped Austin's hand and he looked down at me. "What's the matter?" He asks me and I sigh. "What if they don't think that I'm right for you? What if they hate me for keeping it a secret all these years?" I ask him and he stops walking, turns me to him and lifts up me head. "Then they have to hate me too. Trust me Alls, when we were younger my mom would always ask why I wouldn't ask you out." He said with a chuckle. "I know about how you waited fourteen years to ask me out." I tell him with a smile and he frowns. "Dez..." He trails off and I shake my head no. "I'm glad he told me. I think it's sweet." I tell him and grab his hand to bring us to the front door. "Ally!" She screams and pulls me into a bear hug. "Mrs. Moon!" I say back with the same enthusiasm. "Oh no, call me Mimi. You're Mrs. Moon now too! You're family!" She says and I blush. Oh gosh, let the explaining begin.
AUSTIN'S POV
When we walk in, my mom brings us to the living room and makes us sit on the couch. "So when did he propose?" She asks and Ally smiles. "On Friday." I tell her and she looks at me like I'm crazy. "You said you were dating since you were fourteen though! Why so late?" She asks and Ally giggles. "Apparently he has trouble asking me questions... He waited fourteen years to ask me out!" She says laughing and I send her a playful glare and she rolls her eyes, which makes me laugh. "Austin!" My mother screams while slapping my arm and I grab where she slapped me. "Ow..." I say with a frown and Ally laughs at me, when my phone buzzes.
It's a blocked number. "Excuse me..." I tell my mom and Ally and I walk out of the room. "Hello?" I ask into the phone and a deep voice responds. "Stop performing. Your voice is horrible. Let Ally do it..." The voice says and I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "Who is this?" I ask him and he speaks louder this time. "It doesn't matter. If you don't want Ally to get hurt, stop performing." He says and I shake my head angrily. "Don't touch her." I say and he laughs. "As long as you do what I say, Ally will be fine. Don't tell the anyone about this." He says and hangs up the phone. I take a deep breath and a tear slips from my eye. I love performing, but I love Ally more. I'll do anything for her, so I'm not performing anymore... I can't risk her getting hurt. I don't know who that was or what he wants. I wipe my tear and walk back to the living room.
"You okay?" Ally asks me and I nod my head yes, not trusting my voice. "Who was that on the phone?" She asks me and I inwardly groan. "Just..." I hesitate thinking of someone. "Dez. He wanted to know if we wanted to hang out but we can't." I tell her with a smile and she nods her head, not believing me but deciding not to push the subject any further.
LINE BREAK
The rest of the day goes by in a blur because I'm too busy thinking about this man. Tomorrow, I'm going to tell Jimmy that I can't perform anymore. That's going to be hard. I love singing so much! The rush of performing on stage, in front of millions of people... I'm gonna miss it. When we get into the apartment, Ally gives me a look and waits for me to say something. When I don't, she starts the conversation.
"What's wrong? You've been acting weird since you got that call. I know it wasn't Dez." She says and I start to panic. "Um..." I start, trying to think on the spot. "I'm quitting tomorrow." I say in a rush. I had to tell her sooner or later! Her eyes widen and she gasps. "What?" She asks and I nod my head. "Yeah, I'm sorry Ally. I just... Don't want to do it anymore." I tell her convincingly but she shakes her head. "No! I see how you are on stage. You love performing and you love singing! This is your whole life!" She screeches with tears in her eyes. "It's um... Boring me. Yeah... I don't want to perform anymore because it's boring." I tell her, my voice quivering. She's full out crying now and I walk to her and wrap my arms around her. "Ally please... I wouldn't do it if I didn't want to." I tell her and kiss her forehead.
Ally cries herself to sleep and I finally let myself cry when she's asleep. I'm nervous about tomorrow, this man... Most importantly, I'm nervous for Ally. Who is this man and what does he want with her?
We're walking into Starr Records now, hand in hand. Ally's eyes are red, puffy and filled with years. I feel bad but this is what is keeping her safe. What am I supposed to do? Let this man take her? Not on my watch...
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Moon. You can head up to Jimmy's office." She tells us and usually, I would smile at the comment and Ally would bush but neither happened. We both just nodded and headed up the stairs. When we walk into the room, Jimmy is sitting there with a smile on his face. "Hey guys! You guys are so cute! We need to set up interviews, shows, performances, e-" he says and I cut him off. "Look Jimmy, I know you're not gonna be happy about this but... I- I don't w-want to um.. Sing... Anymore..." I say slowly and hesitantly, stuttering a few times. His eyes go wide in shock, anger, disappointment. Everything.
"What?!" He yells so loud I'm sure Mexico heard it. "I-I'm sorry." I say and he shakes his head. "You can't just quit Austin!" He screams at me and now I shake my head. "I'm done singing Jimmy. I'm s-sorry. I just can't." I say firmly and Ally starts crying. I look over at her small figure and want to cry myself. "Please stop crying Ally. I promise you I'll be okay." I tell her and she wipes her tears and looks at me, then back at Jimmy. "I'm quitting too." She tells Jimmy and we both look at her like she has two heads.
"Ally, you can't quit. We need you." Jimmy starts but she shakes her head. "If Austin's not performing, neither am I." She says firmly and confidently and I shake my head. "Ally, you love performing. You can't give it up because I am." I tell her and sends me a glare. "You love performing too! I have no idea you would ever even think about quitting!" She screeches, stands up and storms out of the room. "Alls!" I scream chasing after her, Mr. Starr calling us both back.
"Ally! Can we please talk?" I scream to her and she slows down to a walk and I jog up to her. "Ally, look. I know your not happy that I'm quitting but, I just don't want this anymore but you do. Don't give this up for me. You're so amazing and you're talented and you can't just give this up." I tell her and she starts to cry again. "So are you Austin! You can't just give this up! So if you want me to keep performing, you have to perform too!" She says angrily and I inwardly sigh. "Alls pl-" I start and she cuts me off. "Not another word about it." She says and walks away.
"Ally! We need to talk." I tell her and she turns around. "No we don't Austin. You quit, I do too. That's final." She says and turns on her heels to walk away. I look down at my feet and begin to cry. Where did my life go wrong? I mean, look... We were perfectly fine but then the thing with Trish happened, the rumors, now this. Can't we have a break? Just l-
My thought were interrupted by my phone ringing. A blocked number. Great. "What do you want?" I ask into the phone angrily and the person laughs. "Do me a favor." He says and I stay silent. "Remember... If you don't do what I say, I'll take her. I will take Ally and kill her!" He says and my breath hitches and I stop breathing. "Don't hurt her. I'll do anything... Please..." I say helplessly and he laughs. "Break up with her."
