ALLY'S POV

"Trey, no I can't."

He grabs my shoulders and stares into my eyes.

"Yes. You. Can."

I don't say anything.

My body is tingling and I stare into his eyes before I blink harshly and snap my attention away from him and pull myself out of his grip.

"I'm not doing this here, Trey," I say, turning away from him and walking away.

He follows me.

I sigh, trying to contain myself.

He places his hand on my shoulder and turns me back to face him. I swing around with a jolt but he catches me and I glare at him.

"Ally, if you only give it a shot you'll understand what it's like-"

"Trey just shut up, please."

He breathes heavily and I turn and keep walking. I pick up my pace, but he's faster than me and he catches up.

"I'm not leaving you alone until you do this."

I swing around to him angrily and let out a frustrated yell.

"Fine!" I yell. "Do you wanna fucking know why I won't do it?"

I'm screaming, frantically throwing my arms in the air.

"I'm afraid. Okay I'm fucking afraid!"

I sniff, and I can feel the tears behind my eyes but I blink them away.

He looks at me confused, and takes a step closer to me.

"You're afraid to sing in front of the others?" He says in a soft voice, almost a whisper, giving me butterflies in my stomach.

I hesitate and bite my lip.

I shake my head, still managing to blink back the tears.

"No," I whisper.

I shake my head.

"Well, yes but that's not the only reason..."

I look away and quickly move my hand up to wipe away the one tear that slipped from my eyes. I'm hoping he didn't see.

"What?" He says again, his eyes not leaving mine.

I sigh and turn back to face him.

I turn to face the floor and whisper, "I'm afraid I'm going to fail."

He takes another step closer towards me and I step backwards, wiping away more tears that are slipping from my eyes.

"What do you mean fail?"

I sigh, sniffling and sit down on the park bench beside us.

I turn to face him, take a deep breath then look up at the cloudy, grey sky.

"Every since I was young I knew I wanted to sing. I've never taken lessons, but I would always sing when no one was home and I was left on my own a lot as a child..which gave me a lot of time to practice. No one has ever heard me sing-"

I turn to face him.

"-not even Aaron."

He looks and me with wide eyes and then nods so I turn away from him again.
