Alyssa's POV

I must've fallen asleep or something because I woke up later, not knowing what time it was. I blinked my eyes a few times to get to know my surrounding.

Oh good, I was on the bed in our hotel room.

"Hey you're awake!" I heard someone squeal. It was probably Madison. And yes, it was.

"What time is it?" I said groggily.

"Time for you to get up!" Madison hopped over.

"What..." I squinted my eyes because of the bright sun shining through the window.

"C'mon Alyssa, our flight tomorrow is at 9:30 so we should start packing a little." Madison stood up. I sat up, knowing I looked like a monster in the mornings, but oh well.

"I can't wait to leave..." I mumbled.

"Why?" Madison looked at me with a confused face. I glared at her which she just laughed at, knowing the answer to her own question. I slipped out of bed and into the shower. I'm not a morning person. You can obviously tell. Today is just one of those days where you wake up unexplainably grumpy. It's probably because of Austin.

I stood in the shower, thinking about Austin. Thinking about everything Austin has done. All the happy moments and the sad moments. I thought back to when I came back to Texas after I had moved to Florida, how I wanted to impress Austin. I wanted Austin to at least think I was pretty.

Wow... I was kinda dumb to think he could be with the "nice", charming guy of my dreams.

I didn't realize how long I was in the shower until I heard a slight knock on the door. I turned the water faucet off and stepped out, wrapping myself in a towel. Then I moved over to the door and grabbed the handle, turning it slowly. I looked up to see Austin.

"What are you doing here?" I glared at him.

"Oh, I didn't know you were in here... The guys are taking up our bathroom and Madison said I could use yours." Austin ran his fingers through his hair.

"Fine, whatever. Not like I needed to change or anything, I'll just walk around naked." I said sarcastically, realizing I only had a towel on.

"Sorry, I'll let you change." His tone was different. It was like a just-friends tone. The kind of tone that's nice and forgiving and it's not hurtful in any way. I had to think for a few seconds on why I was so mean to him, then I realized all the reasons.

"Um, yeah, be right back..." I said once I came back to reality. I closed the door and pulled on my clothes. Then I stepped out to see Austin reading something. My songbook.

"Uh what are you reading?" I walked over to him and grabbed the book out of his hands.

"Sorry, I was just reading..." Austin looked up at me.

"How'd you find this?" I asked him, opening to the page he was on.

"It was under your pillow so..." Austin pointed towards the bed. I wasn't really listening to him. I just read what I wrote in it. I write songs in my free time and I thought this song could be a duet between a boy and girl but I've only figured part of it, which was the chorus.

"Cause lovers dance when they're feelin' in love

Spotlight shining, it's all about us

It's all, about us

And every heart in the room will melt,

This is a feeling I've never felt

It's all, about us."

Oh god, I wrote this when I was 12. And yes, it was about Austin but that was when I was one of the crazy dreaming teenagers that didn't have a clue about love.

"I'm sorry if it sounded bad, I was 12 when I wrote this and-"

"No, I think it's perfect." Austin paused, standing up to face me. "I wrote a song sort of like that too when I was 12...

'Suddenly,

 

I'm feeling brave

 

I don't know what's got into me

 

Why feel this way?

 

Can we dance...real slow

 

And can I hold you, can I hold you close?"

I stared at Austin's eyes while he sang, the way they lit up on every high note. I watched as Austin bit his lower lip, looking at mine. He leaned in closer and for some reason, so did I. We got closer and closer until our lips were just hovering over each others. I could feel his hot breath on my lips. Then he pressed his lips onto mine. It was the most passionate kiss we've had. A kiss full of the same feelings, emotions, and hope.

Wait no Alyssa, this isn't right, he's going to hurt you. My mind snapped at me.

I pulled back and looked at Austin. Without thinking, I looked at the hotel room door and ran out, down the hall, and into the lobby. I don't know why I did this, but I seriously couldn't think.

"Can I help you, ma'am?" The lady at the front desk questioned. She must've seen me running through the lobby.

"Oh, no I'm fine, just need some fresh air." I answered, pointing outside.

I took a step outside and instantly, the hot air of Hawaii hit me. It kind of felt refreshing. I was deep in my thoughts about Austin and whether I liked him or not when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I spun around quickly to face...
