"I'm really glad you're staying." Austin told Ally when the duo found themselves alone in the practice room after Austin's record release party.
"I'm glad I decided to stay, too." Ally replied, smiling. "I don't know what I would've done if I had made if all the way to New York then realized where I really wanna be is in Miami with you guys. Plus, I would've been really lonely up in the big apple without you guys."
"Are you kidding?" Austin said. "You would've made so many new friends so fast, people love you! How could they not? Me on the other hand, I would've been so lonely here without you!"
"You would still have Dez and Trish." Ally reminded him, giggling.
"I know but, it wouldn't be the same, ya know?" Austin said. "Like you and Trish are best friends and me and Dez are best friends, but Dez and Trish have their thing and we have our thing; still best friends, but different, ya know?"
"Yeah..." Ally said softly.
"And I love Dez and Trish, but if go crazy without you here! Who would I talk about music with? Who would I go to when Trish and Dez are working on one of their weird schemes? Who would I WRITE music with? Would we have had to write over video chat? Over the phone? That would be so hard! And not nearly as fun as writing together in person! And-"
"Austin!" Ally said, stopping his rambling. "It's ok. I'm not going anywhere."
"I'm glad." Austin told her, a soft smile on his face. "Because I can't imagine my life without you anymore."
"You were living your life without me a year ago." Ally reminded him.
"I know, but if I hadn't met you, I'd still be just this kid trying to become a performer." Austin said. "But I'm not. I became an over two nights internet sensation, I got to perform on so many shows, and now I have a record deal and j just released my first album! All of that happened because of you!"
Ally dropped her head bashfully, blush forming on her cheeks at his sweet words.
Austin reached over and took her hand, squeezing it with his own; which caused her to look up and meet his eyes.
"Thank you, Ally." Austin said seriously, looking deep into her eyes. "For everything you've done. Just... Thank you for making my dreams come true."
"You're welcome, Austin." Ally said smiling. "And thank you for making my dreams come true."
"What do you mean?" Austin asked, cocking his head to the side.
"My songs." Ally said. "You are the reason people all around the world are hearing what I, WE, write."
"Well yeah I know, but songwriting isn't your dream; performing is." Austin said. "But I promise to not stop working until you get to live out your dream too. It's the least I can do to repay you for making my dream come true."
"Austin..." Ally said, astonished.
"Shhhh. Don't try to change my mind." Austin said. "It's too late. I've already decided that this is going to happen."
"Thank you." Ally giggled.
"Don't mention it." Austin smiled, before he pulled her into a tight hug.
Ally wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him back, closing her eyes and sighing contently.
Austin rested his chin on her shoulder, closing his eyes in complete bliss.
After several long moments the pair slowly pulled apart.
Without really realizing what he was doing, Austin leaned in and pressed a soft kiss on Ally's cheek.
Austin pulled away quickly, blush immediately forming on his face.
Ally was also blushing madly, in a state of shock that she entered when she felt Austin's soft lips pressed against her cheek.
"I... Ummmm... Sorry about that..." Austin stuttered.
"It's ok..." Ally replied.
The duo locked eyes; the sight of the other blushing made each of them start laughing, the awkwardness evaporating from the air.
They looked away, still blushing. Austin's hand went to the back of his neck while Ally's messed with the ends of her hair.
Ok so maybe it was still a little awkward.
But a good kind of awkward.
"So... Ummm..." Austin said, trying to defuse the tension he had caused by kissing Ally's cheek. "Do ya wanna work on a song?"
"Sure!" Ally said, walking over to sit at the piano bench, patting the seat next to her for Austin.
She had to admit she was amused by how flustered he was.
He sat down beside her and began messing around on the keys.
The only sound in the room was that of the piano as the hands of the two musicians danced across the keys.
Just as everything felt as if all the awkwardness had melted away, their hands had to go and brush up against each other.
They both froze.
They turned to look at each other.
Austin's eyes were wide and the blush was back on his cheeks.
Instead of just blushing and turning back to the piano, Ally decided she would be a bit bolder.
She leaned over and placed a quick peck on Austin's blushing cheek.
Ally smiled as she saw his blush spread to his ears, a shy smile coming onto his face as his eyes looked down at the keys bashfully.
"Yeah..." Ally thought. "There's no way I would've been able to leave all this behind."
