ALSO! Disclaimer! The song used is not mine, ALL CREDITS go towards Christina Perri, this is her song "Sea of Lovers".
Ally's P.O.V.
I sighed as I walked into Sonic Boom. Because well hospital bills don't pay themselves and Austin asked for us to meet there, great.
"Honey why don't you go upstairs and work on finishing your song? You don't need to ring or anything, I've got it" my dad said as I smiled.
"Thanks dad" I said as I walked up into the practice room. I then sat down on the piano bench and opened up my songbook. The song was complete, yet Austin knew it much better than I did. Since he took a picture of it on Monday and I haven't really seen my songbook since Monday. I began to play the notes and sing along my part.
I looked at the clock and I groaned, it was already five and the show began at seven. Austin and I were last yes but we needed to be there in time. Speaking of on time, Austin was suppose to meet up with me at four forty-five. I sighed as I looked at myself in the reflection, my cheeks were still red and my eyes had large bags under them.
"Damn, I feel like we're gonna lose this competition tonight because of how I look" I said before I heard a laugh from the door of the practice room.
"Well if we're going off looks then we're definitely losing, look at us" Austin said as I laughed.
"I guess we can kiss the money goodbye- I mean just say goodbye" I said as I blushed as Austin looked around quickly.
"Um-oh! You're late! I need to get going soon if I'm going to make it to this thing on time" I said as Austin sighed.
"Sorry Dawson! My parent's wouldn't get off me! Like I fall down stairs and suddenly I'm the baby again" Austin said as my eyes widened.
"You fell down stairs?" I asked as I walked over to him,
"yeah I'm fine though. Thanks for the concern though" Austin said winking at me as I blushed before we sat down on the piano bench.
"Um alright let's run this a couple times, warm up our voices and such" I said as Austin nodded before we began to sing. It was nice, we sang as if nothing happened this morning, as if we didn't kiss and it was amazing. Nah, just a thing of the past! Right?
"Dawson?" Austin asked as I snapped out of my daze,
"sorry. I haven't gotten much sleep these past days" I said as Austin nodded his face softening.
"Yeah, I'm still really sorry about that" Austin said as I smiled. "Why? It's not like you knew what was going on" I said as Austin shrugged,
"I knew something wasn't right. I should've followed my gut instead of just letting it go" Austin said as I nodded.
"Still, we weren't close then, and now even-I um well we are" I said flustered as I looked up at Austin who was looking at me.
"So we are?" Austin asked as my thoughts began to fade and my focus began to tighten on him. I stuttered as we stared at one another, both slowly inching closer and closer-
"Ally!" Trish yelled before opening the door. Cause me to shoot up and run over to the door,
"hey Trish!" I said as I fixed my hair and placed my hand on my hip.
"What's with the awkward posing? What did you do to her?" Trish said before questioning Austin who raised his hands in the air.
"I didn't do anything!" Austin said as Trish nodded.
"Alright well come on Ally! It's already six and I need to basically bring the dead back to life" Trish said as I gasped and Austin chuckled.
"Thanks Trish" I said as Trish rolled her eyes at me,
"come on you know I love you but we gotta go. See you tonight Austin!" Trish said as she grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the store as I waved bye to Austin.
"OW!" I yelled as Trish was combing my hair, as I applied my foundation. Because well that's the only thing I really can do well.
"So how was seeing Austin?" Trish asked as I blushed, "oh my god what happened?" "Oh well not much really" I said as Trish smirked,
"sure, you're not lying at all. Spill!" Trish said as she braided my hair into a crown.
"Well um so at the hospital today I was about to leave and then I realized I forgot my songbook. So I ran back to find it and well one thing lead to another and Austin ended up having it! So then he gave it to me, we said some nice things we hugged. And then oh god I was an idiot! Like an actual idiot! I kissed him Trish!" I said as Trish screamed and ended up spraying hairspray everywhere.
"Ah! Oh my god finally Ally!" Trish said as I kept coughing.
"Trish makeup" I said as I coughed before Trish nodded.
"Alright but keep on telling me what happened? How did it feel? Do you regret it?" Trish asked as I closed my eyes as she put primer on.
"Well we kissed, but then before anything else could happen I ran away" I said as Trish groaned as she put eyeshadow on my lid.
"Girl you can't keep running, why did you even run?" Trish asked as I sighed.
"I don't even know, I was afraid? Like it felt so good and so right, but with Austin? That doesn't even sound like real sentence yet the way I felt didn't even feel real. I don't regret it but I'm pretty sure I blew all of my chances. Who goes after the girl who runs away anyway?" I asked as Trish laughed as she did my eyeliner.
"You would be surprised Ally the right guy would go after you" Trish said as I scoffed while Trish then began my eyebrows.
"Yeah? But in what universe would Austin and I make sense? We didn't start off on the right foot, heck a month ago I wanted to walk out of our first music session together. So did he, we couldn't stand one another! And now, well I don't know how that changed" I said as Trish laughed.
"Sweetie you guys began to get to know one another, that's what happened. You two just have that chemistry that not everyone gets. You've gotta grasp onto that!" Trish said as I sighed.
"Don't move you're face! I'm almost done" Trish said as I nodded.
"It's just, well I blew it. That's all. So we're just gonna sing this song and then I'll deal with the awkwardness of it all afterwards." I said as Trish nodded.
"Perfect! I'm all done. I went for a sexy smokey eye, yet not too smokey. Then a light contour and always highlight, then to top it off a classic red lip. " Trish said as I smiled. I smiled at my reflection, a dark brown and grey with long winged linger complimented my eye shape. Then always red lipstick cause well it's my favorite color and I know I rock red.
"Alright oh god! It's six fifty! I need to get dressed!" I said as I ran upstairs. I slipped on my long black body dress, it hugged my curves and had a slit up the left leg. I then slipped on some heels since this was a semi formal event. I then smiled as I looked at my reflection, confident.
"Come on Ally!" Trish yelled as I ran back downstairs,
"let's go!" I said smiling as we ran to my car and drove off.
"Oh my god it starts in one minute!" I said as we ran to the entrance of the building,
"Ally chill you two are literally the last act. "I know I just hate being la-" I said before colliding with a body.
"Oph!" I said as I looked up to see Austin looking down at me.
"Hey Dawson, wow um you look-wow" Austin said as he looked me up and down as I blushed before I examined him. He was wearing white shorts, with a nice fitting black polo with a black leather jacket.
"Yay! You remembered" I said as Austin laughed as we walked in,
"you wouldn't let me forget" Austin said before me, him, Trish, and Dez took our seats. As the show went on I got more and more nervous because well damn some of these kids are talented.
"Austin and Ally you're on deck" a manger said as he came up to us in our seats.
"Okay" Austin said as we followed him backstage. There was a nice sitting area, some water a couch and then you could see through a window on a door the stage.
"Break a leg" the manager said as we both smiled "thank you" I said as he walked away.
"Are you nervous?" I asked as Austin shook his head,
"no why are you?" Austin asked as he looked at me,
"yes! Some of these kids are really good! And what if I mess up! You know it's worse cause it's not just me riding on this, if I mess up that's fine cause it's just me. Yet now you're apart of this too! If I mess up it's on you too and I don't wanna ruin it all" I said as Austin sighed before he walked up to me rubbing my arms.
"Dawson, I first off need you to breath. Ever heard of a chill pill? If we win that's gonna be amazing but if we don't that's okay too. Money's just money, it's the memories that count" Austin said as I laughed.
"When did you become a Hallmark card?" I asked as Austin laughed.
"Hey at least it got you to smile. But just give it your all, it's just you and me up there. Not a single person out there." Austin said as I looked out and saw someone signal us to come on.
"Okay, here goes nothing" I said as we walked on.
"Austin Moon and Ally Dawson! Performing an original song called 'Sea of Lovers'." The m.c said before our musical recording began to play. Austin took a look at me smiling from his mic which was across the stage from mine as I smiled back.
Ally-Bold, Austin- Italics, Both- Italics and bold, author- normal.
A certain type of wind has swept me up
But till it's found each bone
I, I'm overcome
There is an icy breath that escapes my lips
And I am lost again
A certain type of darkness is stalling me
Under a quite mask of uncertainty
I wait for light like water from the sky
And I am lost again
In the sea of lovers without ships
And lovers without sign
You're the only way out of this
Sea of lovers losing time
And lovers losing hope
Will you let me follow you
Wherever you go
Bring me home
A certain type of silence's filled my voice
A scream beneath the water make no noise
All my prayers go quiet and never heard
And I am lost again
In the sea of lovers without ships
And lovers without sign
I looked at Austin who had taken his mic off the stand and began to walk towards me.
You're the only way out of this
Sea of lovers losing time
And lovers losing hope
Will you let me follow you
Wherever you go
Bring me home
A certain type of wind has swept me up
But till it's found each bone
I, I'm overcome
There is an icy breath that escapes my lips
And I am lost again
I took a deep breath in before I then took my mic off and met him up in the middle, smiling up at him before we both began to sing. Staring into one another's eyes, nothing more nothing less.
In the sea of lovers without ships
And lovers without sign
You're the only way out of this
Sea of lovers losing time
And lovers losing hope
You're the only way out of this
Sea of lovers without ships
And lovers without sign
You're the only way out of this
Sea of lovers losing time
And lovers losing hope
Will you let me follow you
Wherever you go
Bring me home
At this point we were so close, as the room went silent, oh no. I closed my eyes awaiting the silence, before I heard a roar of applause.
"Open your eyes Dawson you want to see this" Austin said as I opened my eyes and looked to see everyone standing and applauding. I smiled before a hug on stage,
"thank you" I said into his ear as he smiled.
"Always anything for you" Austin said before the judges came out.
"Alright now please give us about five minutes to decide the winner of this, hold tight!" They said as Austin and I walked back into the audience.
"Oh my god you two were amazing!" Trish said as I smiled "really?" I asked as Dez nodded. "Yes! Not a peep out of anyone else, all eyes were on you two" Dez said. "Same goes for the two of you" Trish mumbled as I elbowed her rib.
"Well let's hope it worked" Austin said as the judges then came back out.
"Alright folks now we'll be announcing the top three spots, starting with third" the judges said as I grabbed Austin's hand being the nervous wreck I am.
"Alright the performance in third going home with five hundred dollars is,
" the judges said as they opened the envelope.
"The Hefty Hugh siblings and their spoken word! Truly moved us all" the judges said as the duo collected their money before sitting down.
"Now for second, the performance going home with one thousand dollars is,
"the judges said as my heart was hammering against my chest.
"Regina Diaz! And her amazing opera singing" The judges said as she went up to collect her money before sitting down. Alright so we either win or go home with nothing, no biggie. Just kidding! I sighed as I closed my eyes, whatever the results are it's just gotta happen.
"And the performance going home with the big whomping one thousand and five hundred dollar check is," the judges said. There was a moment of silence, and oh my god it was going to be the death of me.
"Austin and Ally!" The judges said as I jumped up hugging Austin who picked me up.
"Oh my god we won!" I said as we walked up to the stage,
"thank you so much" I said to the judges who smiled and shook both of our hands. We then collected our money and then sat back down.
"I can't believe we did it!" Austin said as I grinned,
"me neither" I said before the judges spoke again.
"Thank you all so much for coming again, have a good night!" The judges said as we all stood up.
"Let's go back to my place! I've got a little something" Austin said smirking as we all titled our heads to the side.
"I swear to god we better not be playing video games" Trish said as I laughed before we headed back to his house.
"Champagne? Isn't that a little risky?" I asked as Austin rolled his eyes,
"as long as you don't drink a lot. Plus my parent's aren't here they had to leave for the night for my grandparents. And it's a nice little thing to celebrate with" Austin said as Trish placed some glasses down,
"come on Ally. You won't die from one drink I promise" Trish said as I sighed.
"Okay one!" I said as Austin smiled before popping the bottle open,
"we won!" Austin said as I smiled before he poured me a glass.
ONE glass later, because I'm not down for any hangovers.
"I still can't believe you guys did it! You two like hated each other to begin with this whole thing" Dez said as I laughed and Austin nodded.
"You're right, I thought you were so bossy" Austin said as I scoffed,
"and you were too stubborn!" I said as Austin rolled his eyes.
"Let's not start that again, okay? It's good you're friends now" Trish said as we all laughed nodding,
"and cheers to that" Austin said before we clanked our glasses together.
It was now about midnight, I still only had one glass as did Austin. Not the same for Trish and Dez,
"why don't I take you all home now?" Austin asked as I nodded laughing at Trish and Dez.
"But the party's just begun!" Trish said as I laughed,
"girl it's not a party if it's only four people" I said as I helped her to Austin's car. Austin and I got Trish and Dez both into his car,
"I can drive your car over to your place tomorrow, if you wanna ride with me?" Austin asked as I smiled nodding,
"sure" I said as I got into the passenger's seat. We then drove off as we began to drop Trish and Dez off,
"Thanks guys!" Trish said as I walked her to her door and helped her in.
"Oh Ally! Get with that" Trish said winking at me as I rolled my eyes,
"bye Trish see you in the morning" I said before walking back to Austin's car.
"She's a wild one" I said as Austin laughed,
"I know! I'm kinda afraid of her" Austin said as Dez shuttered.
"Me too" Dez said as we both laughed,
"yeah she kinda has that effect on people" I said as we then drove up to Dez's house.
"Alright buddy I'll help you out" Austin said as he helped Dez out of the car. I watched them walk up to his house, before Dez yelled something to before Austin shoved him into his house. Austin smiled at me weakly before running back to the car.
"What was that?" I asked as Austin laughed "oh nothing. Dez thinks he's some love doctor just because back in forth grade he got me to ask out one girl" Austin said as I laughed.
Wow you've been a stud since fourth grade?" I asked as Austin smirked,
"you think I'm a stud?" Austin asked as I whacked him arm. "Nope, you are cocky though" I said as Austin shrugged "I mean that's not false" Austin said as I smirked before we drove off to my house.
Once we pulled up I sighed, part of me didn't want to leave yet?
"Um thanks again. I know I said it this morning but this is for the song. I wouldn't of won without you" I said as Austin smiled.
"Thank you Dawson, I got to know you and win one thousand and five hundred dollars. What else could a guy want?" Austin asked as I laughed,
"oh trust me a lot of things" I said as Austin looked at me.
"Funny cause I can't seem to think of a single one" Austin said as I blushed before looking at him then down.
"I um- I should get going" I began to open the door before Austin grabbed my arm pulling me back in.
"One more thing you should know about me Ally" Austin said as I raised an eyebrow,
"yes?" I asked. "I don't really know how this is gonna affect us, but you should know that I don't just let people run away after kissing me. Especially not a girl as amazing as you" Austin said before he pulled my body in for a kiss.
I practically moaned into his mouth, the feeling of his on mine again sent a rush through my body as I slid into his lap. Our mouths danced together as one as the kiss began to heat up. My hands ran up and down his back and then his front.
"I'm glad you did that" I gasped as Austin smirked as he kissed my neck,
"did what exactly" Austin asked as I moaned my hands going under his shirt.
"Oh hush, you know" I said before pulling his face back up to mine colliding our lips together once more. I kissed him with passion as my fingers began to unbutton his shirt. I then pulled away and then kissed down his neck and chest,
"oh god Ally" Austin moaned as I smirked before he brought my face back up to kiss me once more. I then began to lean back before I hit his horn causing us both to jump apart. My dress was hiked up and I was all kinds of flustered.
"Well that was nice" Austin said smirking at me as I laughed rolling my eyes.
"No kidding, but I should probably head back now" I said as Austin sighed nodding.
"I'll bring your car over tomorrow" Austin said as I nodded as I got out as he pulled the window down.
"Thank you" I said before I walked away swaying my hips.
"Stop it! I'm literally about to get out of this car" Austin groaned as I laughed looking back at him. "Well now that I know you're looking why shouldn't I?" I asked as Austin rolled his eyes,
"you know I always was" Austin said as I laughed unlocking my house.
"I know" I said smirking before I walked in my house looking back at him smiling.
"Bye Austin" I said as Austin smiled,
"see you tomorrow Ally" Austin said before he drove off and I shut the door and took a deep breath in. That was amazing, but what does it mean for us?
Oh well, that's a worry for tomorrow for now I'm just going to smile and sleep with the thought of Austin Moon and his lips.
