Anyways, since 8 is my lucky number, this is going to be the last chapter in this story... :'( I know, I know, bummer, but am I the only person who I totally pysched for the new episode on Sunday? BRING ON THE AUSLLY! lol Enjoy this!

Chapter Eight: Austin's POV

I flipped the collar of my purple and black plaid shirt up, situating it on my arms a little bit more and staring at myself in the mirror. I had on a plain white shirt under it and jeans with ripped knees. My eyes studied themselves in the mirror, tracing the lines of my face. I sighed and rubbed my arms with my hands, staring down at my purple sneakers and wishing that all of this wasn't so hard. Tonight I was scheduled to play a concert in the mall. I was supposed to sing Heartbeat and A Billion Hits, but Dez, Trish, and I had other plans. I was going to sing my new song, the one that Ally didn't know about. I was afraid that it would be horrible, mostly because I wrote it, and I couldn't write songs.

I took a deep breath and spun around when the practice room door swung open, "Austin! You go on in ten minutes! Get to the stage!" Ally snapped, looking a bit stressed, "Your band has been waiting for you, so has Dez, and Trish is nowhere to be found!"

I gulped, "Ok, be right there," she nodded and left the room, "I promise…"

Once she was out of sight, I pulled the piece of folded paper out of my back pocket, unfolding it and taking one last look at the lyrics. Gosh was I nervous, and I was never nervous! My hands were a little shaky, but I stood tall as usual, hoping that once I was on the stage, all of my fears would be washed away. I turned towards the door and grabbed my lucky microphone up off of the piano, walking out of the practice room and down the stairs.

It took me about three minutes to arrive at the mall and slip backstage before the crowd could see me. My band was standing there with annoyed looks on their faces, but Dez was smiling, as always.

"What took you so long?" Riker, the basest asked, "We've been waiting forever!"

"Sorry, I was just-" Ratliff, the drummer, interrupted me.

"Puking?" he asked.

I glared at him, "No, I was just finishing getting ready!" I sighed and scratched the back of my head, hoping they believed that I was nervous, though they probably didn't, except for maybe Dez…

Then, Trish came running up to us with four sheets of music, hand them out to my band members, including Rocky, the guitarist, and Rydel, the Pianist, "Here, this is the song you'll be playing, Austin already knows the lyrics, just go with it."

"What? Weren't we playing Heartbeat and A Billion Hits?" Ryland asked, her eyes full of confusion.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever blondie, we're playing this one now!" Trish snapped, obviously a bit stressed out.

I was about to reply when I heard Jimmy introducing me to the crowd. Trish turned to me with a tired smile on her face, looking at me with a gaze full of pride.

"Are you ready for this Austin?" she asked.

I nodded and shot her a slight smile, "Yeah, I think so…" I noticed my band starting to go onstage, "Where's Ally?"

"The front row, now go get her tiger!" Trish winked at me, Dez walking up behind me and patting my back.

My heart was beating so fast when I saw them leave to go stand so they could see the stage. I stood there, waiting for Jimmy to call out my name, and when he did, I ran out onstage, waving to the crowd with a fake smile on my face. Pull yourself together, Austin, you can do this! You love Ally, and that should be enough to get you through this! The crowd roared and Jimmy disappeared off the stage, next to Trish and Dez, I think. I waved at everyone, but my eyes fell on Ally when she gave me a small thumbs-up.

I took a deep breath and said, "Hi guys, thanks for coming out tonight!" screams sounded from the crowd before me and I waited for them to die down before continuing, "Now, I know you guys came to hear some songs that you already knew, but I'd like to sing something else tonight," I caught a confused look from Ally, "I've been working on it for weeks now, with a little help from Trish and Dez," Ally was looking at me like I was crazy, though I could see she was a little shocked as well, "This song is for greatest girl in the world. Without her, I wouldn't even be here tonight, or be as in love as I am," I looked at Ally and gazed straight into her eyes, "Ally, I wrote this song because honestly, I'm so completely, deeply, utterly, and forever crazy for you."

There was a long 'Awwww' from the whole crowd and I could see tears brimming the sides of Ally's eyes. She had her arms folded across her chest and was looking at me like she never had before, like I had done something with a deeper meaning than I had expected. I turned around and nodded to my band, they set their instruments, and the music started.

"I played it safe, kept my foot up on the brake. I never really took a chance in life; didn't live 'till today. Girl and then I met you; open my eyes to something new. You know you set me free like no one else, got me acting a fool, uh oooo," I winked at Ally just before the pre-chorus started, hoping the song was decent so far, "And don't you know you changed my life, girl, cause' now I'm living, and it feels so right, yeah…" the crowd was pretty umped now, and Ally was smiling like an idiot, "You got my heartbeat pumping and it's going insane. You got me jumping outta airplanes. That's whhhhyyyy, I'm crazy its true, Crazy 4 U! You got me base jump livin' and I can't look down. You know you short circuit my brain. I can't lie, I'm crazy it's true, Crazy 4 U!"

I danced around a little and stole another glance over at Ally, who possibly was crying now, in happiness of course, "Midnight dipping in the pool, or sneaking out up on the roof. Your unpredictable and girl that's what, That's what I love about youuuuu. And don't you know you changed my life, girl cause now I'm living and it feels so right, yeah!" I saw Trish and Dez smiling out of the corner of my eye, and Jimmy nodded in approval, "You got my heartbeat pumping and it's going insane. You got me jumping outta airplanes. That's whhhhyyyy, I'm crazy it's true (yeah), Crazy 4 U! You got me base jump livin' and I can't look down. You know you short circuit my brain. I can't lie, I'm crazy it's true, Crazy 4 U!" I was feeling really confident now, which made me realize that they loved it, everyone loved the song, but only one opinion was important to me right now.

"No I didn't lose my mind when I fell for you (without a parachute), and I'm gonna love you girl, like you never knew, a ooohhhh. And don't you know you changed my life, girl cause now I'm living, and it feels so right, YEAH!" I got ready for the last chorus, totally pumped up and jumping around like crazy, "You got my heartbeat pumping, and it's going insane. You know you got me jumping outta airplanes. That's whhhhyyyy, I'm crazy it's true, yeah! Crazy 4 U! You got me base jump livin' and I can't look down. You know you short circuit my brain. I can't lie, I'm crazy it's true, Crazy 4 U! I'm crazy it true, Crazy 4 U!" the song ended and I took a deep breath, recovering from using all of that energy.

I smiled and everyone clapped, whistling and screaming out my name and something about 'Auslly'. Auslly, huh, I wonder what that is… I gazed down at Ally, who looked so happy and thankful. I wanted to run down there and kiss her right on the spot, but I knew it'd embarrass her a lot, so I didn't. All I knew is that the crowd loved it, and so did she.

The crowd was gone now and I was just walking out from the backstage door, still catching my breath from my performance that night. The cool night air hit my face and I ran my fingers through my hair, sighing and closing the door behind me.

"Austin?" a familiar voice murmured behind me.

I jumped a little and spun around, seeing Ally standing there, eyes still glistening when she looked into mine, "Ally, you scared me," I said, scratching the back of my head.

She giggled and moved a little closer to me. I found myself blushing at the sight of her in the pure moonlight. I knew this was it, I had to do it now.

"So, you really wrote that song? By yourself? For me…?" she asked, looking down at her shoes.

I smiled and nodded, "Yeah, did you like it?"

"I… I loved it," she spoke softly, glancing up at me a few times, "more than you'd ever know."

My smile grew bigger and a jolt of confidence led me to pull her in closer to me, hands gripping her waist. I buried my face her neck and she shuddered against my chest. I chuckled and rubbed my thumbs on her hips as she wrapped her arms up around my neck.

"Well I'm glad, because I meant every single word of it," I answered, voice deeper than before.

I lifted my head and stared into her beautiful chocolate brown orbs, mesmerized by how much emotion flowed in them, and knowing that I was the reason for it all.

She nodded, "Well," Ally smirked now, "I don't think I can believe you until you prove it to me…"

My shoulders dropped, "Wasn't the song enough? I mean… I write another one, if I can, and I do anything you want me too… I'll hang out with you more, and hold your hand everytime we see each other, and I'll make sure everyone at school knows your mine and-" she cut me off.

"Dang it, Austin, just shut up and kiss me already!" she snapped, but it in a loving, pleading way.

On instinct, I bent forward, my lips crashing onto hers. I was nervous at first, because I wanted our first kiss to be perfect, and it was. I swear, I could hear fireworks exploding off in the distance and I knew it was right, all of this was right. Her warm, soft lips moving against mine was like heaven on Earth. I pulled her closer, deepening the kiss and letting go for a moment so I could breathe.

Our foreheads were pressed together and I could feel her hot breath on mine, "I love you," I whispered.

Ally giggled a little and I knew it was coming, those words that I had hoped for so long to hear from her, those words that had gotten me to act so crazy, "I love you too, Austin."

And my heart fluttered like a thousand butterflies, sending my lips back down onto hers as the stars sparkled above our heads and finally I knew that Ally was mine, all mine.

So? What'd you think? Pretty nice ending, huh? lol I realize that Riker sings in this song too, but the best I could do was give R5 a little appearence in there ;) I'm sad to end this, but I know I'll write other stories too. If you've never heard the song before, it's called Crazy 4 U by R5. Listen to it! Thanks to all of my lovely readers and remember to stay Aussimus!

Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally, R5, or the song Crazy 4 U.
