Chapter 25 – Ally's POV

(A/N: Bold = Austin singing, Italics = Ally singing, Bold Italics = Both singing)

I'm walking on a thin line
And my hands are tied
Got nowhere to hide

I'm standing at a crossroads
Feeling so exposed
Don't know where to go

Yeah I'm caught in between
Where I'm going and where I've been, yeah
But no
There's no turning back
Yeah

We were performing on Times Square on New Years Eve.

I was freaking out.

A lot.

It's like I'm balanced on the edge
It's like I'm hanging by a thread
But I'm still gonna push ahead
And I tell myself
Yeah I tell myself

Don't look down down down down
Don't look down down down down
Don't look down down down down
Don't look down down down down

Freaking out.

A lot.

A lot, a lot, a lot.

I glance at Austin. He gives me a reassuring smile.

It'd be so easy
Just to run
It'd be so easy to just give up

But I'm not that girl who gonna turn my back
No turning back
No turning back

It's like I'm balanced on the edge
It's like I'm hanging by a thread
But I'm still gonna push ahead
And I tell myself
Yeah I tell myself

Don't look down (Down!) down down down
(Don't look down
Don't look down)
Don't look down down down down
Don't look down down down down (Yeah!)
Don't look down down down down

The crowd went wild. Austin and I high-fived (A/N: Ha, you thought they were gonna hug again.) and I walked over to take a seat- it was time for his solo.

"Hey everyone, I'm Austin Moon," he said with a smile. Everyone went wild again. I smiled. "So usually this is the point where I say 'This song was written by Ally Dawson, my partner and best friend,'," he continued. I nodded. "But this time I won't." …Wha…? "This song was written by me." I glanced around. Everyone else was as confused as I was. I stood up and walked over to Austin.

"What about the song?" I whispered with a small forced chuckle. He ignored me.

"I wrote this song about someone really special to me," he continued. I sighed and took my seat again. "Someone that I really hurt. And I'll probably never get over it. But… this song is for her," he said quietly before grabbing his acoustic guitar and sitting down. Our eyes met as he started strumming.

Last summer we met
We started as friends
I can't tell you how it all happened

Then autumn it came
We were never the same
Those nights everything felt like magic

And I wonder if you miss me too
If you don't here's the one thing that I wish you knew

I think about you
Every morning when I open my eyes
I think about you
Every evening when I turn out the lights
I think about you
Every moment every day of my life
You're on my mind, all the time
It's true
I think about you
You you you you

My eyes filled with tears. Austin glanced at me for a second before smiling and looking away from everyone, even the audience.

Would you know what to say
If I saw you today
Would you let it all crumble to pieces?

Cause I know that I should forget you if I could
I can't yet for so many reasons

He looked back at me, and nodded slightly.

And I wonder if you miss me too
If you don't here's the one thing that I wish you knew

I think about you
Every morning when I open my eyes
I think about you
Every evening when I turned out the lights
I think about you
Every moment every day of my life
You're on my mind
All the time
It's true
I think about you
You you you you

I heard a sob coming from the audience, so I looked out there. Trish, Cassidy, and Tilly were smiling at us. Dez was behind them sobbing uncontrollably while smiling. I chuckled a little.

How long till I stop pretending?
What we have is never-ending
No, no
If all we have is just a moment
Don't forget, because I won't
And I can't help myself

At this point, Austin and I had both pretty much accepted that there was no audience at this point. It was just us.

I think about you
You…
I think about you, oh

I think about you
Every morning when I open my eyes
I think about you
Every evening when I turn out the lights
I think about you
Every moment every day of my life
You're on my mind all the time
It's true
I think about you
You you you you
I think about you
You you you you
Oh…

At this point I was just trying not to sob. Of course, we couldn't have a moment yet, because the audience started cheering as loudly as possible. But trust me. I couldn't wait for the end of this concert to talk to Austin.

Finally the concert was over. I finally located Austin in the crowd of fangirls.

"Austin!" I said and ran over to him. "Austin… I-" I tried to speak, but nothing came out. "I-I just…" I stuttered, becoming extremely flustered.

"Here, let me talk," he said. I nodded. "Ally, I know that I hurt you. And I'm really sorry. You're more important to me than being popular has ever been, and making that decision was the stupidest thing I've ever done." And here come the tears. "I know that you're probably still upset, but… I care for you more than anything else in the world. It would mean so much to me if… if you'd give me a second chance," he said, blushing. I tried to speak. Still didn't work. So I did the one thing that universally means yes.

I kissed him.

I know what you're thinking, "About time Ally! I mean seriously! Chapter 25 and you just now kiss him?" Well you try falling in love with the person you hate. See if you kiss them in chapter 3.

Austin's POV

"Austin!" Ally yelled, locating me in the crowd. I turned to her. "Austin… I-" she stuttered. "I-I just…" Seeing that she was struggling a little, I spoke up.

"Here, let me talk," I said. She nodded. "Ally, I know that I hurt you. And I'm really sorry. You're more important to me than being popular has ever been, and making that decision was the stupidest thing I've ever done." At this point tears started forming in Ally's eyes. "I know that you're probably still upset, but… I care for you more than anything else in the world. It would mean so much to me if… if you'd give me a second chance," I finished with a blush. Ally started to say something.

I thought she would say no.

I knew that was what she was going to say.

And now I've gone and made a big deal about it, and she's gonna be more upset about it.

Everything's ruined.

Well that's what I thought.

But instead of a "I can't," or a "No," I got something that (at least I hope) means yes.

She grabbed me and kissed me.

Shock, relief, and a strange urge to read a fanfiction flooded my body as she pulled away.

"…Is that a yes?" I asked with a small smile and a serious blush. She nodded and I wrapped her in a hug.

"About time!" four voices rang through the crowd. I turned around. Trish, Dez, Cassidy, and Tilly stood, grinning like idiots with their arms crossed.

Narration POV

(A/N: Bold Italics = Austin narrating, Italics = Ally narrating, Bold = Me narrating)

So that's our story.

Wait wait wait. YOUR story?

Umm yeah, it was about us.

But I WROTE IT.

It was still about us.

You do realize that, as the writer, I could easily make this my narration only?

Fair enough.

How did you like Nutta's story? Heh heh…

Thank you. Anyway, a sequel is coming! I think you guys'll love it! :D

Wait, another Auslly fanfic?

?

That seems to be all you write.

Didn't you say that you were gonna make a Trez sequel to Unexpected?

Not to mention Ask!.

Austin, do you really want him to update Ask!?

Good point.

And you can't forget Flynn-Fletcher Family Vacation.

Yeah, even I want to see it.

Okay, I get it, I've kinda dropped everything for Auslly.

Why don't you try writing for someone else?

…Hm… Lemme think about this for a second…

Ally, what have you done?!

What are you talking about?

His writer brain is on. That means that something really bad is about to happen to us.

HATED 2: A MELSON STORY.

How is that bad?

Austin and Ally are married-

…never mind…

Hey, don't cut me off. Austin and Ally are married, and their daughter Megan… … …

…And their daughter Megan…?

What, you think I'm gonna spoil it? Wait till the sequel comes out!

Aww!

Come on!
