WARNING ANOTHER SAD/DEPRESSING STORY MIGHT MAKE YOU CRY IT MADE ME CRY!

Austin's POV -

I sat at the back of Spoon Me with my friends enjoying my frozen yoghurt when the stage lights turned on. Every Friday night here was an open mic to anyone who wanted to perform.

Nick, Jay, Phil, Cassidy, Lauren, Missi, Lola and I all turned our attention to the girl coming on.

"Dude no way, isn't that Ally? Your old song partner?" Nick nudged beside me. I squinted my eyes at the girl with her acoustic guitar setting herself up on the stool. "I-I think it is" I pulled a smile.

I haven't seen or spoken to Ally for 2 years since Team Austin broke up. Yeah it was pretty rough but I got Cassidy as my new song writer, and she doesn't have stage fright like Ally does. Or, did.

Dez and Trish weren't so happy about the fact I fired Ally so quit. But Cassidy and I are doing pretty well working together, especially since we've been dating for 2 1/2 years or so. It's always been an on and off thing but I'm certain she's the one. Cassidy just has everything a guy could want. And she's not that bad in bed either ;)

"BOO!" Cassidy shouted beside me to the stage. Ally shot her head in our direction as my table laughed. I gave her an apologetic smile but she just looked away. I don't blame her for being mad at me. We used to be best friends, until I replaced her. "Cassidy that's not cool" I gave her a stern look. "She's a loser Austin, you're with me and now you don't have her dragging you down the social ladder" she scoffed as the music started.

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

sink me in the river at dawn

send me away with the words of a love song

uh-oh, uh-oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colours, oh

And life aint always what you think it ought to be, no

Aint even grey when she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well

I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

sink me in the river at dawn

send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well

I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when i come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger

I've never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand

There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever

Who would have thought forever could be severed by...

The sharp knife, of a short life, oh well

I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
