Back to December (Austin Mahone)

Mallorys POV

My stomach started aching, my tounge turned dry and my voice started to tremble.

"Mallory, you're up to sing your first song to Mr. Outlaw. " A guy with a clip board with a list of names called "Good luck." He smiled opening the door and allowing me to walk in.

The way this thing works is I have to come in one a week to sing Mr. Outlaw (Rich guy) a song, if he enjoys my songs and thinks I'm talented, I will be a hit. I'm talking collaborations with bigger stars and even more fans.

Now, if he doesn't like me, it can be the end of my career for good. Back to waiting tables and singing on karaoke night for me. Basically this event can make you or break you.

It's a funraiser event; i pay a few hundred dollars to sing to the rich guy along with about 400 people with the same dreams as me. It's kind of like the voice and x-factor and shows like that, except this event is put on the download and not many people know about it. 50% of profit goes to the children diagnosed with cancer.

"Name of the song please." Mr. Outlaw asked. He wasn't exactly what i thought he woukd look like. He was heavy set with a short gray beard and hair.

I took a deep breath and a hard swallow "I'll be singing 'Baby I'." I walked to thecent of the stage and looked out to the empty seats of the theater.

Baby I got love for thee
So deep inside of me I don't know where to start
I love you more than anything
But the words cant even touch what's in my heart

"When I try to explain it I be sounding insane
The words don't ever come out right
I get all tongue tied (and twisted)
I can't explain what I'm feeling
And I say baby, baby
Baby (baby I)
Oh baby, oh baby, my baby (Baby I)
Oh baby, baby I (baby I)..." The song came to an end and I felt more alive. I waited for a response from Mr Outlaw, but he didn't make a sound, not even a clap.

"Thank you..." he freezed not knowing my name.

"Mallory... Mallory Tyson." I perked up as he just nodded. I walked outside and pulled out my phone.

How's everyones day? I tweeted wondering what I should do today.

I got a text from my old best friend Cherr
Cherr: Hey, I heard you're in Hollywood. Maybe we can hang out.
Me: Of course! When are you free?
Cherr: I'm free all today. Do you want to meet at my house?

We agreed on meeting up at her house in 2 hours. I was so excited. I haven't seen her since graduation.

We practically grew up together. We just grew apart when she moved to the Hollywood to live party life. Which I don't blame her moving away from Georgia, i mean it's beautiful here.

I pulled up to her light blue house. I took a deep breath and walked to get door.

"Mallory!" She screamed pulling me into a big hug.

"We need to hang out soon and maybe next time you can tell me more about this Austin kid." She smirked.

Austins Pov

Bella and I have been friends since almost the begining of my career. So I invited her to so a song with me, she has raw undiscovered talent.

"Hey bella" I greeted with a half smile.

"It's been way too long Austin."

"Well let's get started." I said leading her to the studio.

We started singing a duet and I would be lying if I didn't feel something between us, the moment was right and I was lonely. I started to lean in.

Before I knew it, I was hovered over Bella and I made a big mistake that Mallory could never know about.
