19. Fights & Final Calls

"Do you think that too, dad?" Austin asked, the anger spilling out of his words like a river. His father sighed before standing up straight, looking down at his son with a look of disappointment. The pair of parents had so much planned for their son. But none of those plans involved him attempting to become famous.

"Yes, I don't think you should be wasting your time on this, music. You need to focus your energy on something more productive." His father conquered. Austin threw his hands up in anger before turning and walking to the door.

"Austin where do you think you're going!" His mother called as the two stood firmly planted in the living room. Austin let his hand rest on the door before turning back to his parents.

"If music is a waste of my time, then I must be a hell of a waste to live with. Music, is my life. And there is only one person that sees it the same as me. I'm not letting you take her away from me." Austin finished before stalking out the door, slamming it loudly behind him.

"Ally, what were you thinking?" Her father asked as he set his bags down by the front door. Ally sighed as she turned on the lights in the kitchen, pulling out two glasses for her and her father. She filled each glass with water before handing one over to him.

"I wasn't thinking. I honestly forgot we were at school for a little bit. We were just having fun." Ally defending as she leaned against the counter in the kitchen. Her father kept one arm crossed over his chest while the other held the water out in front of him.

"I keep hearing that. But this isn't like you. You've never gotten in trouble before. Then suddenly this Austin character shows up-"

"He didn't just show up, and he isn't the problem. Austin and I are friends, whether you like it or not." Ally interrupted. Lester sighed as he watched her.

"I think he is."

"Dad, maybe this is who I really am. Maybe I've been hiding this side of me for the last... However many years, and it took this long for me to finally show myself to people. I finally feel comfortable with who I am." Ally rambled, her face lighting up as she let her mind fall to her bad boy. Lester frowned as he watched his daughter walk around the kitchen.

"Ally, I don't like you hanging around with him. I know the type of guy he is-"

"How? You talked with him for twenty seconds. Maybe." Ally added as she crossed her arms over her chest. This was the first time she had spoken up to her father. He would probably be calling her mother, despite the divorce, just to tell her what she had done this time. He would blame her for Ally's newfound friendship with the bad boy.

"Because of his leather jacket. Guys who dress like that have something to hide, Ally." Lester countered, remembering himself as a young man. Given he had turned out okay in the end, but this one, definitely seemed like the type to break Ally's heart. The way that he had found them after they were done talking with the principle, was astounding. He couldn't believe his eyes.

"Dad, he's different. He loves music just as much as I do. We're going to make it to the top together. Trish and Dez included." Ally went on, hoping she would be able to make her dad to loving Austin just by mentioning music.

"Ally, those people have a gazillion to one chance of making it in the music business. There's no way that just because this, Austin kid, brought the four of you together-"

"That what? With him we won't be famous? I know I can make it eventually, but with them-"

"Ally! I don't want you making it! It's dangerous over there! I can't having you get hurt!" Lester yelled, growing more upset by the minute. Ally frowned as she looked back at her dad. He had let her try out for MUNY, though. She had though he supported her in this.
