HEY GUYS! THIS IS MY FIRST STORY AND IT'S ONLY A ONE-SHOT BUT IF YOU LIKE PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY REVIEWS. IF YOU THINK I SHOULD KEEP GOING PLEASE TELL ME AND IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR NEW STORIES I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THEM. ANYWAY, ON WITH THE STORY:
Ally's POV
Why? What did I ever do to hurt anyone? Never swore, never lied, never gossiped. So why does he have to do this to me? Don't get me wrong, I love him like a brother, my best friend. Nothing can stop that. But why does he insist on hurting me? I am slowly making my way to his house. I want to see him, to talk to him, but something inside of me is telling me I won't like what I see. And, of course, I ignore it now. I should probably explain what I'm taking about. Well recently he's been acting really weird. And I mean REALLY weird. He stopped talking to me. Then he refused to write a song to me. And, to top it all off, he dumped his lunch on my head today at school. Walking up the steps, knocking on the door. All automatic. But no one answers. I knock again, slowly, but again no one answers. That's when I hear it. The noise that made my heart stop. I heard Austin Moon scream.
Austin's POV
I hate myself for what I've done to Ally. She's my best friend and I've been treating her like dirt. I feel so ashamed of myself. I feel so broken when I see her sad and I just go and hurt again. But, it's not like I have a choice. If I could stop hurting her then I would. It's all HIS fault. He's making me do this to Ally. He's the reason I'm stood here with a blade against my throat. I walked in and sat down on my bed, only to have been pushed to the wall with a large bang. My parents are at work so it's not like they could help me. I look at his face and see the rage in his eyes. Why does he hate me so much? Why does he want me to hurt Ally? Why can't I protect her? Wait, that's what I'm going to do, stop all this nonsense.
"I'm not hurting her anymore" I say, with less conviction than I had hoped. He chuckled, the kind of chuckle than makes you want to jump out of your skin.
"Yes you are" he says "Or you know what will happen". He pushes the knife nearer to my neck.
"No I'm not" I say, firmly this time "Go ahead and kill me. Then I can't hurt her anymore and your plan has failed." I can tell he didn't like that and he steps back a bit. I think he is releasing me. I'm wrong. He plunges the cold piece of metal into stomach. The scream that leaves my mouth tells me what pain I'm in, as every sense in my body has diminished and I feel nothing. But I can hear,
and I can see. He looks and me and laughs before leaving the room. But then something I didn't expect happens. A small figure moves towards me and lets out a painful cry. Then everything goes black.
Ally's POV
After freezing for the scream, I fling open the door. Nothing has changed, but I see that the back door is wide open. Fearing the worst, I run up the stairs and into Austin's bedroom, somehow knowing he'd be there. But I was not ready for what lay ahead. The sight I see makes me let out a cry. Austin's curled up, lying in blood. I can see a glimmer of silver sticking out of his stomach. He seems to look at me for a second and then his eyes close.
"No" I scream, whilst kneeling down at his side. I pull my phone out of my bag and ring 911. By the time the ambulance comes, he has lost a lot of blood. I can't imagine why anyone would want to do this to Austin. He's sweet, kind, caring. He may be being a jerk at the moment but I know that he wasn't himself and I don't want him to die. I'd rung Trish, Dez and Austin's parents while we were in the ambulance and we were all sat in the waiting room. His parents were sobbing, consoling each other. Dez and Trish were actually hugging, trying to make it okay. I was just sat, frozen, wanting to make believe it is a nightmare and that I will wake up soon. The doctor comes through and we all look up at him.
"Austin Moon" he says mechanically.
"Yes" we all chorus, hopefully. The doctor half-smiles and then turns to me.
"Would you like to come with me miss" He says. I stand, confused, but I don't get time to question it as he starts walking past hospital rooms. 102, 103, 104, 105… We finally stop at 112. The doctor turns to me, a grin on his face.
"He asked to see you first" he chirps and goes to help an old lady into a wheelchair. I almost squeal in delight and rush into the room. And there he is. Propped up on a pillow his lop-sided grin pointed in my direction. My Austin.
Austin's POV
Ally runs over and squeezes me half to death.
"Ally…I-I… need to…breath" I managed to get out. She pulls back and looks at me apologetically.
"Sorry" she says.
"No. I should be sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." I state, feeling like such a traitor.
"It's okay" she says and starts to smooth out my hair with her delicate fingers "But why did you?" as she asks this she looks at me, searching for any answer.
"Dallas" I just say, under gritted teeth mind you.
"What?" she asks, clearly confused about the situation.
"Dallas. He said I had to hurt you or he'd kill me. As you can see, I finally came to my senses".
"If your senses told you to get yourself killed" she said half-jokingly, half-worriedly. "But, why?"
"He thought then you'd fall for him" I laugh slightly.
"Well I never would" she says, slowly leaning in.
"Why's that?" I ask, wishing the answer is what I hope it is.
"Because, I love you" she says. I feel my heart burst.
"I love you too" I say, slowly but surely. I lean in as well and then it's as if the world has stopped.
I have my Ally.
Ally's POV
