It was a typical day in the Sonic Boom. Ally was behind her usual spot at the check out counter, writing in her book, waiting for customers to make their purchases or need help. Today she had been over come with a stage of writers block, so the pages that where usually filled with music and lyrics where now covered with hearts and the name Austin.

She would never admit it to another living soul, not even her best friend Trish, but Ally had fallen hard for the pop star over the past few years. Although he was cocky, Austin made her smile, laugh and feel special. He didn't just treat her like apartner, he treated her like a friend. He was there when Dallas broke up with her, and when people where rude to her in the store. He saved her from the harsh world, without even knowing it.

Ally was pulled out of her trance when Trish strutted into the store. She was clad in an orange and yellow Hawaiian shirt and a flowery headband.

"Oh my gosh Ally! You're never going to believe it!" Trish said as she sat on the counter

"Let me guess, you got a job at Lulu's Luau?' Ally responded as she placed her book on ashelf below the counter.

"No! But I wonder if they're hiring…."

"Trish please get to the point"

"Oh right! my dad won some radio contest so me and my family are going to Hawaii for two weeks! Isn't that awesome?"

"Oh my gosh that's amazing! I'm so happy for you guys!"

Just then Austin walked into the store. He gave a greeting wave to Ally and said,

"What exactly is so amazing?"

"I'm going to Hawaii for two weeks!"

Austin gave a smirk and said, "Hey that's awesome. Guess that just leaves me and you Als since Dez is in California working on that movie and your dad is going to thatconvention thing."

"Oh yeah I completely forgot about that!" Ally said, secretly happy she once again got Austin all to herself.

Him being a pop star and all made it hard for Ally to ever imagine Austin ever picking her over the Barbie's that were all over him most of the time. She also new for a fact that Austin had gone verrrrrrrrrrrrry far withsome of the said girls. The first time she heard him tell Dez about going ' all the way' with a girl, she cried for a week. She just had to deal with the fact that he just saw her as a friend,nothing more.

"Cool so I'll come back later and we can catch a movie or something. Some quality Austin and Ally time. I've gotta jet meeting Traci " Austin said as he headed toward thedoor.

'Oh sounds good." Ally replied, slightly disappointed that Austin was once again choosing another girl over her. She was sick of it. Sick of the pain her inrequited love caused her.

"Ally why don't you just tell him how you feel?" Trish said, feeling sad for her friend.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Ally come on! It's Austin not just some random guy! I've seen the way you look at him .And if you stop convincing yourself that you're not good enough for him for a second then you would realize he looks at you the same way!"

"But Trish, if Austin likes me like I like him why would he be having….I mean doing stuff with other girls?"

"The same reason you haven't told him how you feel. He's scared he's going to loose you if you don't feel the same way. He does stuff with other girls cause it's easier then dealing with the feelings he has for you"

Before she could respond Ally's dad came downstairs carrying a brown leather suitcase.

"I'm off to the airport sweetie! You sure your going to be okay here all by yourself?Cause I could still call grandma."

Ally rolled her eyes and responded, "Dad I'll be fine stop worrying."

"Alright alright, I'm going to miss you kiddo, I'll be back in a week." Mr. Dawson saidas he kissed his daughter on her head and gave her a hug.

"Bye Dad I'll miss you!" Ally said as her dad walked out the door, leaving for his convention.

"Shoot that reminds me I've gotta go my flight leaves in the morning and I've still got to pack." To two friends hugged, and said their goodbyes.

Ally pulled out her book and started drawing hearts again. Could it be possible that Austin felt the same way?

A few minutes before closing time, Ally noticed the store was now empty except for her and a man who had been coming in and looking at drums for five days now. He was always dressed in a trench coat and large boots. For some reason he gave Ally the creeps.

"Sir," Ally said to the man, "We're just about to close, so if you want to make a purchase now is the time to do it."

"Oh well I think I've decided what I wanted." The man said as he made his way to the counter. However, Ally noticed that there was nothing in his hand.

"Um sir you don't have anything in my hand…" Ally said, now becoming scared of the man.

"Oh, well its not an instrument I want…it's you" Before she knew what was happening,the man was behind the counter hitting pushed her down, and her head hit the marble counter. He then kicked her in the ribs several times his big, black combat boots. At this point Ally started to cry, asking him to please stop.

"I'll go get more comfortable then the party can really start." The man then went away for a second, and Ally reached for her phone from her pocket. "I'll call Austin" she thought "He'll come save me." Just as she hit speed dial 4 the man came back, and stomped on her phone.

"You don't want to party with me? I've been watching you for weeks now. In those short skirts, big brown eyes, your beautiful." he said,caressing her cheek. Ally tried to get away, but his other arm tightly gripped her forearm, keeping her in place. He was now onlywearing a stained white undershirt and too small gray boxers. " It's amaazing what you can learn from people's lives by just listening. As soon as that annoying friend said she was going away i knew it was time to attack. And that blonde boy you make googly eyes at?He doesn't want you. Not the way I want you." And at that moment Ally knew what wascoming. This man was going to rape her. And there was nothing she could do about it.
