Never in her 23 years on Earth did Ally Dawson expect to see Trish and Dez get married.
That's right, married.
Ally was practically just getting over the shock of finding out they were dating when out of the blue they announced they were getting married. Ally nearly choked on her coffee when Trish showed her the engagement ring. Her best friends. Total opposites. Practically enemies throughout all of high school. Getting married.
After overcoming the initial shock, Ally was truly happy for them. She was glad that they both found someone to spend the rest of their lives with. She only wished that she could find the same. Ally hadn't dated since high school. Since Austin.
Austin and Ally were completely inseparable; they were so in love. They were the most annoyingly cute couple in the entire school. They were also the perfect musical duo. Ally was writing hit after hit for Austin, and he was becoming a big time pop star. He landed a huge record deal and a world tour, which he had to leave Ally behind to go on. They withstood the nine month long-distance relationship, and were even closer when Austin got back. Then came time to graduate and move on to college. Austin offered to follow Ally wherever she went, but Ally knew that was an empty promise since he was scheduled for another world tour, this time an even longer one. She knew she couldn't handle keeping up on her schoolwork and maintaining a long-distance relationship with a world famous pop star.
So she decided it was best to say goodbye. She left him one day without notice. She decided to follow her heart and go to the Music University of New York, and she never looked back.
Ally guesses that she shouldn't have been surprised when Trish and Dez asked her to write a song to sing at their wedding, but she was.
"M-me?" She said, nearly choking on her coffee, when Trish called her nearly a week before the wedding. "I mean- I just- I can't!"
"And why not?" Trish countered, "You've written songs in two hours before."
"Well, I- Fine!" Ally sighed, exasperated. "But only because your my best friend and it I guess it is your wedding."
"Yay! Thank you so so so much Ally!" Trish practically screamed into the phone and hung up. Ally sighed. Such little time to write a whole song and rehearse it! There was so much pressure for it to be perfect. Ally grabbed her songbook and headed straight for her piano.
This was going to require a lot of coffee.
After nearly a whole week of sleepless nights, a lot of crumpled pieces of paper, and several cups of coffee, Ally finally produced a song worthy of her best friend's wedding. The next day, Ally got up at five in the morning to help Trish get ready. The drive to the church was a rainy one.
Oh I'm sure Trish isn't going to like this, Ally thought as she pulled up to the church. She had to step around puddles on her way to the side entrance. When she entered, she saw that Trish was already there, throwing things at the wall.
"OF COURSE IT HAD TO RAIN ON THE MOST IMPORTNANT DAY OF MY LIFE." Trish screamed, throwing makeup brushes at the wall, tears streaming down her face.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Ally ran over to her, taking the flower vase out of her hands. Trish plopped down in a chair and covered her face with her hands.
"I should just cancel the whole thing." She mumbled into her hands. Ally sat on the edge of the chair and rubbed her back.
"It's just a little bit of rain," Ally soothed, "and everything is inside! I promise it won't change a thing and you'll still have the best day of your life!"
Trish leaned into her friends embrace. "Yeah I guess. I'm just so wound up and I just want everything to go absolutely perfect!"
Ally lifted Trish's chin up and gave her a big smile. "I promise it will go exactly how you want it to. Now let's get you ready!"
After several hours of perfecting Trish's look and putting on the finishing touches, it was finally time. Ally took her seat in the front row and watched as Trish floated down the aisle.
The ceremony went amazingly. Ally couldn't think of a time when she'd seen her best friends happier. Their vows brought tears to her eyes and in a blink of the eye Trish was already walking back down the aisle, this time as Trish Fisher.
Everybody went to their cars to drive to the reception hall; a beautiful banquet hall in Miami's most coveted park. Trish and Dez left in a limo, leaving Ally to gather everything up.
As she gathered up all of Trish's makeup supplies, she couldn't help but wonder how Austin was. The last she time she saw him was on the news a few nights back, where they did a story on Austin's latest album. His new songs were just… different. They had no meaning and it was obvious that Austin wasn't particularly fond of them. She wondered if Dez invited him. She decides that it was a good thing he wasn't there. He would have distracted everyone from Trish, which would definitely make Trish mad.
Ally loaded everything up into her car and headed to the reception hall. When she got there, the party was in full swing. She could see all the people on the dance floor, which made her even more nervous about performing her song. Ally had gotten over her stage fright many years ago, but after not performing for anyone in a long time, she found herself getting very anxious.
As she entered the room, the music stopped. Dez ran up on stage and said, "And now here's our good friend Ally Dawson, who is going to perform a song she wrote for our first dance."
Ally's palms began to sweat. She moved through the crowd to the stage. People cleared off the dance floor, giving Trish and Dez room to dance. Ally sat at the piano and took a deep breath. She placed her hands on the keys and gave Trish a small nod. Then she began.
One look, dark room meant just for you
Time moved too fast, you play it back
Buttons on a coat, lighthearted joke
No proof not much
But you saw enough
Small talk, he drives
Coffee at midnight
Moonlight reflect the chain on your neck
He says "Look up" and your shoulders brush
No proof one touch and you felt enough
You can hear it in the silence, silence you
You feel it on the way home, way home you
You can see it with the lights out, lights out
You're in love
True love
You are in love
Ally glanced over at the couple, and was relieved to see them beaming at each other.
Morning, his place, burnt toast, Sunday
You keep his shirt, he keeps his word
For once you let go of your fears and your ghosts
One step, not much but it said enough
You kiss on sidewalks, you fight, and you talk
One night he wakes, strange look on his face
Pauses, then says "You're my best friend."
And you knew what it was, he is in love
Trish lays her head on Dez's chest and they slowly sway to the music.
And so it goes you two are dancing in the snow globe round and round
And he keeps a picture of you in his office downtown
And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars
And why I spent my whole life trying to put it into words
You can hear it in the silence, silence you
You feel it on the way home, way home you
You can see it with the lights out, lights out
You're in love
True love
You are in love
The audience claps rapidly and the couple is smiling ear to ear. They give each other a sweet kiss and clap for Ally. Ally gives a small smile and stands. She does an awkward curtsy and waves at everybody. People are whistling and clapping very loudly, but one yell of "GO ALLY!" stands out to her.
She knows that voice. It can't be possible. No. She looks out into the crowd to disprove what she was thinking, but her eyes found exactly what she thought.
Austin.
