Prologue:

I couldn't breathe. I didn't know where we were exactly. We were for sure somewhere in the big city of Miami. My dad was running after me, he was furious and I knew if he caught me that he would kill me. It wasn't a question; he was that drunk.

Austin gripped my hand tightly as we continued to run through the crowds and crowds of people, we were hoping my dad would get lost. But he knows the city like the back of his hand. The hand that never held me or loved me. We eventually got to an alley where I could catch my breath. My head still hurt from contact with the concrete earlier. Austin's hand was still stained with my blood. I could hear my dad's footsteps getting closer. It was like the never-ending nightmares from when I was a child. I would recognize the sound of his old, steel boots anywhere. We had to leave. Now.

"Ally …" I felt Austin's hot breathe on my ear. "We have to go."

I continued to pant as I heard my father's boots from a few blocks away. Maybe we had lost him. But I wasn't going to let Austin take that chance. "I can't make it, you have to go." I had to cough and it felt like I was swallowing a feather but I couldn't risk giving away our location. "Go Austin, save yourself."

"No." He refused. "I have lost everyone during my life, everyone I loved. I'm not going to lose you too." His eyes glistened with unshed tears.

"You have to …" By now I was wheezing; I was desperate for air I couldn't find. It was like I was underwater. "I can't make it." Everything started fading away like I was dying. Maybe I was.

I couldn't see anything but his silhouette. He wrapped me in his arms and whispered to me. "If you can't go, then I am staying with you." Tears were evident in his voice. "I'm not leaving you."

Everything became darker. My head was still bleeding and I knew why I was so dizzy all of a sudden. I was losing blood, and the longer we stalled I was losing my life. I wonder if Austin knew that.

"I'm not worth it, Austin. Just go." I choked out. I knew I had crossed the line when he started trembling beneath me.

"Damn it, Ally! You are worth it; you are the only thing I have worth living for! If it weren't for you and your music I swear I would be dead!"

I heard feet sprinting toward us. Austin gave away our location. I hope he gets away before my dad finds him. My eyes closed now. And all I remember was hearing sirens somewhere that got louder and louder and Austin's arms around me.

I wanted to give up. But honestly, I mirrored Austin's feelings.

He was the only thing I had worth living for.
