A/N: Hey everybody I am back with another story! I am almost finished writing the whole thing! I am so excited because I think that this story is ten times better than my last one. So far I have about 40 handwritten pages ready to go. Just letting you know that Austin and Ally are just very good friends in this one so there is no romance. This is rated M because it can get a bit intense at some points. I hope you enjoy. ~Jess
Chapter One – What happened to you?
Ally POV
I was standing behind the counter at Sonic Boom finishing up opening the store when Austin walked in. The two of us had been working together for a bit over a year now and we had formed a pretty tight bond. Something seemed different about him this morning. He seemed to be walking with a limp and there was what appeared to be a bruise forming on his left cheekbone.
"Austin, what happened to you?"
"Oh… um… I tripped and fell down the stairs this morning. No big deal."
"Oh, ok then. Are you okay though?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Ok, so what's up?"
"Nothing really, just thought I could hang out with you for a bit today."
"Well I have to work until noon, but after that we can go do something."
"Ok, I'm going to go hang out in the practice room then."
"Alright, I may come up in a bit."
I watched as Austin made his way up the stairs and into the practice room.
Austin POV
I walked up the stairs, aware of Ally's eyes watching me. I tried to hide the screaming pain I felt with every step that was radiating from my leg and side. As soon as I walked into the practice room and closed the door I collapsed to the floor in a silent scream, being careful not to fall onto my right side. I lay on the floor for a short while as I felt the silent tears fall from my eyes. I finally gathered the energy to get up and gingerly rose to my feet. I hadn't gotten a chance to inspect the damage that had been done to my body. I walked over to the mirror on the wall and rolled up the right leg of my pants to see a large gash going from my shin just below the knee slanting down to the outside of my ankle. It didn't look too horrible but it was still pretty bad. After rolling the leg of my jeans back down I went to inspect my right hip. The skin of my hip had been broken a little and had turned a deep purple from the bruising. I finally got the courage to look up at my face in the mirror. There was a slight bruise across my left cheek but it definitely wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was saving the worst injury for last. My side. I almost cried just thinking about how bad it would be. I tried to take a deep breath to calm myself down but ended up causing myself more pain. I pulled my shirt over my head and almost passed out at what I saw there. The skin was so badly bruised that parts were black. It was swollen and looked horrible. I lightly pressed the skin to see if I could tell if any ribs were broken. The second my fingers touched the skin, I felt a pain so great that my knees gave out; I fell to the ground screaming.
A/N: Ooh, cliffhanger. I should have a new chapter up tomorrow. Review please all criticism is accepted. (If it sucks tell me please.)
Stay true
