Well hiya! I know last one was short so this time I'm going to try to make this longer… I have commitment issues so it's hard for me to stick to a story but bear with me and review and I will try my best. WARNING FOR CURSING.
Disclaimer: Nope. Never have, never will.
Austin's POV
If you asked me, I wouldn't be able to tell you what anybody else was doing at that point; all I was focused on was Ally. Ally. Ally's blood staining the hot pavement, Ally's deathly still body I was sprinting over to, as fast as my red high tops would take me, Ally, the most important person in the world to me. I couldn't, I wouldn't, lose her. I dove down to a crouch next to her and cradled her lifeless body, thick red blood staining my hands. I vaguely remember Trish screaming while Dez dealt with the driver of the vehicle, who was trying to get away from the scene (and by dealing with, I mean beating the shit out of him.) I stroked Ally's pale cheek; I remember how we all used to tease her about how pale she was; now we may never even be able to tease her again. Fuck, Austin, stop thinking like that.
"911! Dez, Trish, anyone!" I screamed, panic gripping at my heart. I brushed some hair off of Ally's forehead and stared down at her. There was so much blood. How was it possible for such a small person to have so much blood? It wasn't long before the familiar blue and red lights began flashing in my peripheral vision, I didn't look up, I knew they were for Ally. I remember as a child I would look out at the highway and see those blue and red lights and associate them with excitement, car chases and good guys versus bad guys, but now, all I associated them with was the endangerment of the single most important thing in my life right now.
I wouldn't let them tell me I couldn't ride with her, would you leave your life in some stranger's hands? I didn't think so. When we were finally in the ambulance together I allowed myself to grip her impossibly tiny hand in my own, much larger one, and willed the tiny scratches apparent on her once smooth skin to disappear. How could this happen to her? Ally, of all people, the same Ally who on weekends spent a good portion of her Saturdays helping underprivileged preschoolers learn their numbers? If there was a larger being in the sky, he sure was being cold right now. The nurse in the ambulance with us asked me small questions, like was Ally allergic to anything, who was I to Ally… Of course I could answer them, I knew this girl like the back of my hand. The only thing I remember about the ambulance ride, were the nurses frantically trying to stabilize Ally and me screaming at the driver to go faster. I ignored all attempts to call me down, how could they possibly be asking me, to stop freaking out? Didn't they realize one of the most important things in my life was put up to a gamble?
"Sir," A nurse with long auburn hair said, snapping me out of my frantic, disorganized thoughts,
"We're here sir, we're moving her," I jumped up, nearly hitting my head on the metallic ceiling, briefly comparing the inside of the ambulance to that of a spaceships, before jumping out of the vehicle watching them roll Ally away.
"Hey!" I shouted, and began to sprint after the stretcher they were wheeling away, before a male nurse planted a hand firmly on my chest. Something about, this area's off limits, we'll take care of her. Take care of her, my ass. They didn't know Ally! I haven't abandoned her yet and I sure as hell wasn't abandoning her now.
"No! I need to be with her!" I screamed, frantically trying to get around the solid brick wall of male nurse.
"Sir! Calm down or I will be forced to expel you from the hospital grounds." He shouted, not budging. No! Ally needed me! I looked into the nurse's eyes and all I saw was seriousness behind his threat. And at that, there was nothing left to do except crumple to the floor and sob.
Well, there's that. I know it was a bit dramatic but Austin is freaking out… And it's also a bit jumpy, I know, but he is extremely worried and not thinking straight. Okay then, REVIEW PLEASE :D
