Never be the Same

Ally's Pov

I'm meeting Austin in the Forest. Our Secret Place. We meet there when one of us is feeling down. Tonight, it's Austin that is feeling down. He won't tell me why, though.

I run to where we are supposed to meet, I am expecting to find Austin, but instead... a note.

The note read:

Dear Ally Dawson,

Your precious little Austin is no longer with you. He was out in the woods, alone. A very, very dangerous thing to be doing. He was on my property, so, I shot him. Tell nobody about this. If you do... You die, too. And, I don't think your Austin would want that.

-The Killer

I stop reading the note as tears break from my eyes. I fall to the ground, crying. The crying soon turns into sobs. And, the sobs turn into screams. Austin is gone. I just can't comprehend that. I keep it playing in my mind, trying to understand. He's dead. It just doesn't click. I'll never see him again. It won't sink in.

Then, I hear someone, "Ally?"

I look up and see a shadow. The Killer. That's the first thing that pops into my mind. But, instead... I see Trish and Dez.

They both live right across from this Forest. And, they both know that me and Austin hang out here. Wait. Correction. Me and Austin... used... to hang out here.

"What happened?" Trish asks, looking worried.

"Was that you screaming?" Dez questions, he also looks worried, "Where's Austin?"

Right when Dez says that, I burst into tears.

"What's wrong, Ally?" Trish hugs me.

"A-A-A-Austin is dead!" I scream as I hug Trish.

Dez sees the note and picks it up, "She's right.", Dez looks like he wants to break down in tears. But, instead, he reads the note aloud.

Trish and Dez are both trying not to cry. They were trying to stay strong... for me.

I tell my mom and dad about what happened and they tell the Police. The Police find the killer, along with Austin's body. His eyes are still open. Only, they have lost their sparkle. His hair has lost it's shine. And, his skin has lost it's glow. Why did that stupid person have to kill him? He had done nothing wrong. My parents and friends comfort me. Austin's parents are crying. They never would have expected this. Neither would I. Nobody would.

A week from that day, they hold Austin's funeral. I give a few words about him, then sit back down and burst into tears. I can't believe he's gone. Can't this all just be a nightmare that I will eventually wake up from? No. It can't be. It can't be, because it's reality.

Three years later, I feel exactly the same. I have never felt feelings for anyone. It may be because I just haven't found the right guy or, because I'm not allowing myself to. After Austin... I'm not sure I can ever love again. Why can't I wake up from this nightmare? I wonder this constantly. Day by Day. Hour by Hour. Minute by Minute. Second by Second. I know... I will never feel happy again. And, I know...

I will never be the same...
