Don't let me fall chapter 2
I managed to open my eyes. I found my self in a comfturble bed in a unfamiliar room. I glanced at my wrist and saw it was cleaned up and there was a bandage on it as well. I looked down at my clothes and noticed I was wearing someone else's sweatpants and a hoodie. I wanted to get out of bed but I was so tired. I trew my head back on the pillow and let out a sigh.
The door opened, but I didn't open my eyes cause I was scared. I heard the door shut quietly and somebody sat down beside me. He or she, took my hand and started playing with my fingers. Then I felt my wrist being taken gently and carefully. The person observed it for a while then once again returned to playing with my fingers.. I couldn't hold it in anymore, I giggled.
" Dawson?! You awake? " I heard Austin say as I slowly open my eyes.
" W-where am I? " I say quietly
" You're at my house " he says " You fainted and I took you to the hospital, when they said you were okay and could go, I was going to take you home but it was locked so I brought you here "
I nod
" You don't have to be shy, I don't bite " he chuckles, and I just look down. He lifts my head up and says
" Come on, say something "
" Thank you " I say still quietly though
" I was lucky to be there at the right time " he said and I nod again
I look down at the clothes I was wearing and then back at him. He realizes what I'm getting at and starts to explain how after he brought me to his house (Witch is across my house) his mum changed my clothes since there was blood on it and I nod in understanding.
" I should probably get going, I don't want to be a bother any longer " I say and start to get up, he just gently pushes me back down and covers me
" You're not a bother and you need to rest " he says
" But- " I start but he puts his finger on my lips whispering " Shh, just rest "
I relax and sink in to the pillow, sighing.
" Moon "
" yeah? "
" What were you doing yesterday behind the school? " I ask he licks his bottom lip then looks down
" I just came to make sure you were okay " He said " you disappeared during lunch and I figured you'd be behind the school, but that's not the reason either, later during detention, Dallas was smoking. I told him to stop it that it's not healthy, but he just faced me and said something like I don't give shit about that. Then he trew the cigarette across the room, there was a sudden flame and the next thing I know we were running out of the school. I figured you could still be behind the school and ran to get you. The filed could have easily got on fire and you would..." It was like he didn't have straight to continue, tears were nearly coming out of his eyes and I just lied there, looking at him.
Then the door flew open, and a tall woman with blond hair stood there.
" Austin, your father's home! " she said and ran downstairs. I saw Austin's eyes open wide with fear, hate and worry. He looks at me and quickly gets up.
" What ever happens, lock that door and hide, even if I knock do NOT let me in! " he said.
I saw a figure approaching in the hallway and rolled over on the floor and under Austin's bed. Austin was confused then I heard him stand up. In the matter of seconds Austin was against the wall, and his father hit him.
" I heard there was a excellent at school and you weren't involved! " He yelled " Were you involved!? "
" No " Austin said, his voice trembling. The next thing I know he's thrown to the other wall and he screams in pain. Then his so called 'father' lifted him up
" Before I go, you will give me a list of 5 prettiest girl at your school and their addresses " he lets go of Austin then continues " bring it down in 10 minutes " and with that he left.
I got out of my hiding spot and ran to him
" Oh, my god! Are you okay?! " I ask
" I'll be fine " he said standing up.
He went to the desk and took out a pice of paper. I sat down next to him and he looked at me weakly and smiled. He started writing down random names of people I've never heard off. He put the pen down and looked at the names. He let out a sigh and stood up.
" Hide " He ordered me and walked out. I hid under the bed again and waited for him to return.
Austin's p.o.v
I walked downstairs and found my dad in the kitchen. I handed him the list and he let out a chuckle.
" What?! " I asked crossing my arms
" You put Kira at the top of the list... She doesn't count, think of someone else! " he told me and gave me a nother pice of paper and a pen.
" Oh, wait, maybe you could write down the name and address of the girl you have a crush on " He said smirking... Was he talking about Ally?
" W-who?! " I asked
" Oh, you know that girl you always hung out with when you were a kid " He said... Okay he is definitely talking about Ally!
" NO! " I said
" Okay fine, I'll just go to your room and get her then " He said and smirked again
" H-how did yo- " I started
" please kid, I'm not dumb " he got up and started going upstairs, I run in front of him and stop him
" Dad please I'll do anything just don't hurt her " I say
" Fine... I'll let it slide this time " He said and walked out the front door. I heard him start his car and drive off.
I quickly climbed up the stairs and in my room. I open the door and find it empty.
" It's okay he's gone now " I say and Ally appears on my bed. She looks at me concerned and I sit next to her.
" How's your wrist? " I ask her
" Don't worry about me, you should lie down " She says
" It's okay, I'm used to it " I say and open my arms for a hug, she gives in and hugs me and I wrap my arms around her and smile. And a flashback comes to me
Flashback
When I was 9 I usually spent my time outside. One day I saw a girl about my age and waved at her, she saw me and smiled. I walked across the street to her and she stood up.
" Hey, I'm Austin Moon "
" Ally Dawson " She said and put out her and for me to shake it
" So, Dawson, You new around here?! " I asked her
" Well, yeah, I used to live all the way on the other side of Miami " She said
" Oh, well wanna play together, I got a new guitar I can play you something " I said, music was my idea of fun back then... Still is
" Okay " She said.
I rushed to my house, excited, and took my guitar. Then I rushed back to Ally.
" So, What can you play? " she asked me
" Pretty much anything " I said
" Can you play... Rolling in the deep? " She asked me
I smiled and played my guitar as she sang. She had the voice of an angel. We played like that all afternoon. Then my dad came out of the house, at the time he was a normal dad, and approached us. He told me it was time to go home.
I opened my arms for a hug and she gave me one. I wrapped my arms around her and smiled
End of flashback
" I should take you home your dad must be worried about you " I said and helped her up.
I walked her across the street and she invited me to come in, I gladly excepted and we had fun.
That was untill... There was a sudden harsh knock on the door.
" That's probably my dad, no offence but I don't want him seeing me with a boy, he'll get the- " she started
" wrong idea, yeah, yeah, I'll hide behind the couch then " I finished for her and jumped behind the couch.
Her dad came in but almost immediately went upstairs and we just said our goodbye's and I left.
