Disclaimer: I don't own anything recognizable.
Sometimes when I say "I'm okay",
I want someone to look me in the eyes, hug me tight and say,
"I know you're not."

Tired.
Tired of trying.
Tired of hoping.
Tired of coping.
Tired of existing.
Tired of breathing.
Tired of living.
I'm done.

No one cares
They're just pretending

1 Minute….
God dammit.
I can't lose him.
I can't.
58 Seconds….
The voices.
They won't stop.
They won't go away.
They won't shut up.
JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!
50 Seconds….
I'm a terrible person.
He was struggling and couldn't see through all the damn lies.
All this time … he was dying on the inside.
Screaming in the dark
40 Seconds….
Maybe the voices are right.
Maybe I am worthless.
Maybe I am a mistake.
Maybe I am a freak.
No one cares about me.
No one ever has.
30 Seconds….
I have to get to him.
I have to save him.
I just want to hold him in my arms and tell him everything will be okay.
I want to protect him from his demons.
20 Seconds….
I'm done.
I'm fucking finished.
I have no purpose.
The voices are right.
There's nothing left for me to live for anyway.
10 Seconds….
He can't be dead.
He can't be…
9 Seconds…
I'm scared.
Someone save me….
Save me from myself
8 Seconds…
…. I can't lose you..
I won't lose you.
7 Seconds…
6...
5...
4...
3...
2...
Just let me rot in hell.
That's where I belong.

"STOP!"
Austin froze, tears streaming down his face as he held the knife to his neck. Dallas slowly walked towards him, his eyes filling with terror.
"Austin, put the knife down, please," Dallas begged.
"Why should I?" the blonde asked, his voice shaking, "No one would miss me."
"I would," Dallas argued, "If you do this, who will I have left Austin? You mean the world to me. Without you, I would have nothing left. Please, Aus, don't do this.."
"You're lying," the shorter teen hissed, "You don't care about me. No one does!"
"Aus, don't listen to the voices," the brunette whispered, tears forming in his eyes, "I love you. Ally loves you, Trish loves you and Dez loves you. Well all love you!"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" the blonde screamed, "WHY CAN'T YOU LET ME DIE?!"
Dallas walked up to him, grabbing his wrists.
"If you die, I die," the teen stated, "I refuse to live without in my life Aus."
Austin glared, trying to break free of the taller teen's grip.
"Fuck off!" he yelled.
Dallas grabbed his hand with the knife and pressed it against his own neck. Austin froze, more tears escaping from his eyes.
"I mean it Austin," the brunette whispered, "If you do this, I'm going with you."
The shorter teen dropped the knife, sobbing and falling to his knees. Dallas held onto him, pulling the blonde into his arms. He buried his face in Austin's hair, tears falling down his own face. The blonde grabbed onto his boyfriend's shirt in his trembling hands, trying to calm himself down.
"I-I'm sorry," Austin said, his voice quiet, "I-I'm so s-sorry..."
Dallas kissed his head, pulling him even closer.
"Make them stop," Austin pleaded, his whole body trembling, "Please."
"I will, I promise," Dallas replied, "I'm going to protect you from them, okay? I won't let them hurt you anymore."
The blonde nodded, sobs escaping his throat.
He almost lost him...
He almost lost his heart...
Author's Note: I've had this for awhile, so I was like, "why not post it?" I'm not going to lie, when Dallas first came onto the show, I shipped him with Austin pretty hard. ... I have a problem *le sigh* Anyway, hope you guys liked it! R & R! Byeeee!
