Ally's POV
Not being able to see my friends, family and boyfriend for 5 years is hard. I had to change my cell phone number, create a fake identity, and erase Ally Dawson from the world. That's right yes my Name is Ally Dawson, but I go by Melissa Hartmen now.. Yep..my fake name.. Only because I don't want anyone to recognize me..I dyed my hair a dirty blond dish color, similar to what Austin's hair is like. I wear blue contacts but My natural eye color is hazel and basically I'm a total fake.. Except for Annabelle Melody Moon..my daughter..I'm 21 years old now and she's 5 now.. I think out could do the math.. I had her at 16.. But I never told anyone.. Not even my bestfriend Trish.. I had to drop out of high school. Yes, goodie two shoes Ally Dawson didn't finish high school....big whoop. In case your wondering Austin is the Father.. He's the only man I have ever loved and really the only man I ever slept with. I wanted to keep Annabelle as natural looking as possible, like not dying her hair because really I don't want to make my daughter a fake..especially at 5. Today I have to work and I'm leaving Annabelle with the Apartment neighbor Mrs Perkins. Mrs Perkins was never able to have children but she offers to baby sit Annabelle, so quite frankly I most of the time take her up on that offer. I waitress at 'The melody Diner' from 9 am-3pm then from 7pm-12am i bar tend at 'Hooters' Monday through Friday.. If you do the math thats 55 hours per week. I have been doing this now for 5years.. The longest 5 years of my life.
Annabelle: MOMMY CAN I HAVE PANCAKES??
Ally: sure sweetie
Love pancakes just like her father..
Austin Moon as in THE Austin moon as in the pop star is Annabelles father, I could never lie to Annabelle, when she was old enough I told her who her father was.. She was super excited because she Loves Austin's music.. To this day she listens to his music.. Just not the innaproprate songs.. Austin doesn't know he is a father.. The day I found out I was pregnant I left for New Jersey..I pretty much dropped off the face of the earth.. Even if I wanted to go back to see Austin, I don't think it's the best for Annabelle.. After I left there were news reports about my disappearance and how over depressed Austin was..he looks different now.. He looks sleep deprived and as if he hasn't been eating much.. Trish has gotten taller and a little curvier.. Dez has...how do I put this.. Matured? He's not wearing goofy clothes anymore and she barely if ever smiles anymore.. I only know this because I watch some clips of Austin's concert on YouTube, and off in the distance I can see them backstage.
Today is my day off, normally I would be at the park but I'm feeling the beach today.. I grab my guitar and Annabelle and we walk to the park.
I sit down on my blanket that I set down on the sand and I plop down next to Annabelle and I open my guitar case, I instantly pick up the Guitar pick Austin gave me after his first concert, It brought back so many memories.. When he asked me to be his girlfriend, when we had our first kiss, and certainly the night we made Annabelle. Annabelle was born November 14, 2009. Just 9 months before, on valentines day we proved our love for each other.. Then I left. I start strumming some cords and start to sing a song that Austin and I wrote together, just 1week before I ran away I call it "Mine" , just before I started to sing Annabelle harmonized with me.
Uh, oh, oh
Uh, oh, oh
You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin'
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say "Can you believe it?
As we're lying on the couch?"
The moment I can see it.
Yes, yes, I can see it now.
