Azzy's Pov

Austin and I were in the practice room again, working on our song.

I still can't believe we managed to write a song without Ally.

"'If you wanna run I'll be your road.'" Austin sang.

I was reading the lyrics off of my sketch book.

Hey, Ally has her song book where she writes everything. I have my sketch book where I write everything.

"What's the next line?" He asked.

"If you want a friend." I said.

"Right. Friend. I like that." He said.

"You do? You don't think we should use a stronger word?" I asked.

"I don't know. Maybe. I just don't wanna mess up our... song." He said.

Song? Really?

I guess I'll play along.

"Right. Don't wanna mess up our song." I said.

The door opened and in came Ally, Dez, and Trish.

"Hey guys." Trish said.

"What's up? Anything new?" Ally asked.

"Nope, just writing a song." I said.

"So nothing's...changed?" Dez asked.

"Well, we finished the third verse." Moon said.

"So would you say that some progress has been made and the two of you are moving in a positive direction?" Trish asked.

I know what they're up to.

"I'll be right back." I whispered to Austin.

He nodded and I turned to Ally and Trish.

"Ally, Trish, can I talk to you outside for a second?" I said.

And before they could answer, I pulled them out the door.

Once the door to the practice room was closed, I looked at both of them.

"Azzy, we weren't really talking about the song." Trish said.

"We were talking about you and Austin!" Ally said.

"You were. I didn't even notice." I said sarcastically.

All three of us laughed a bit.

"Look, I know he has feelings for me, but for all we know, he still wants to be with Kira." I said.

"Boohoo, he's gonna have to deal with this at some point." Trish said.

"Well he can deal with this some other day. And I don't wanna wait for him to choose. Our mom is coming home from Africa today, and we should focus on that." I said, pointing to myself and Ally.

"Good for you! Never wait on a guy. Actually never wait on anybody. That's why I'm a terrible waitress." Trish said.

Okay then.

"I'll just forget about this whole Austin thing for now. I'll go back to Boohooing after our mom leaves." I said.

They both nodded.

"What do you think they're talking about in there?" Ally asked.

We stood around for a split second and then Trish pressed her ear to the door.

"You hear anything?" Me and Ally asked.

"No, it's really quiet." She said.

Right now, the four of us were downstairs setting up for when Mom comes.
