I turned on my side as my phone vibrated on my bed with a text. I quickly searched for it and found it under a fold of my covers. My phone lit up as I hit a button sitting up and saw a text from Austin. I hit open and sighed with relief that Austin was coming with the things I needed. I dropped my head back on my pillow as it began to pound as if someone was using a jackhammer on my head. I closed my eyes hoping to get some relief and soon found myself dosing off.

(Later)

I woke up to the feel of an icy cool hand on my forehead opening my eyes wondering who woke me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. I was only checking your temp." Austin signed as I slowly sat up, my muscles protesting in agony.

I ached more it seemed than earlier and I was so tired it was an effort to stay awake. I groaned a little as the pounding returned to my head and began to cough.

"You're temp is a bit high, take some cough and cold medicine. You'll feel much better." Austin held the box out to me and I took the medicine from him looking at the box, horse pills were shown on the front.

I frowned; those weren't going down without a fight on my part. I opened the box and took out two caplets as recommended and grabbed the glass of water on my nightstand taking them down in two large gulps of water one at a time.

"Thank you for coming and also getting me the stuff I needed." I signed as I put the glass back where I had gotten it from.

"Not a problem, you know I'd do anything for you. Anyways, just rest we can talk later." He smiled placing a hand on my own.

I nodded and curled up under my covers and turned on my side facing away from him and Austin rubbed my back in circles like you would a child. I closed my eyes and his rubbing hand disappeared. I turned to him and saw him fiddling with his phone. I stared at him confused as he acted excited.

"Austin, what's up?" I signed confused after reaching out and tugging on his shirt.

He eagerly signed "I found a way for you to have music. I hired a person to sign for you and others as I sing."

I weakly smiled a halfhearted smile signing "Thanks, I really can't wait for your next concert. Anyways, I hope someday to write music again with you, but I don't know if I ever will again."

I jumped as my phone rumbled and I grabbed it quickly, it was Dallas the birthday supplies were being put up because I refused to give up on giving Austin his surprise birthday party. I had previously invited everyone a week ago before I had gotten Dallas in on it to help with decoration and everything else. I stumbled out of bed in a rush as I read Dallas's urgent message.

"Whoa, where are you going? Your fever hasn't gone down and you're not well enough to be hurrying around!" Austin signed as he steadied me.

"There's an emergency at Sonic Boom. Dad needs me to help him." I replied with sign shakily.

I honestly hadn't lied because Dallas had texted me from Sonic Boom and my dad and them needed help because Dez had a guitar ice sculpture delivered and it melted all over the floor and a couple of nearby instruments. I nudged Austin aside digging in my dresser before hurrying to my bathroom. I got dressed in a flash and got about halfway to my bedroom door when I felt woozy and almost fell over if it wasn't for Austin catching me.

Austin signed as I steadied "Ally, I told you you're in no condition to be up. Rest and I'll go take care of the issue."

I shook my head before replying "No, I need you to go get some things for me, please. I can deal with the Sonic Boom fiasco."

"Are you sure you want to go down there, I can get the stuff as well." He insisted.

"I'm fine, please get these things and bring them to Sonic Boom when you're done." I became stubborn and handed him a list I quickly wrote.

He gave me a questioning glance as I forced him to go on the errands as I made my way in the other direction toward Sonic Boom.


I didn't know what to do, but I needed to trust Ally or she'd be angry with me. I was confused about the list though; she wanted therapeutic socks, sunglasses, my new album that recently came out, a set of markers, etc. It was odd things that it seemed like she just randomly put down on paper. It was then I realized she was up to something, but I wasn't going to question her until I saw her. I quickly texted the translator I hired to join me at Sonic Boom to meet Ally, I just hoped that it wouldn't bother Ally to much seeing as she was sick.

(That Evening)

I got a call from Trish on the way to Sonic Boom and answered nonchalantly "Hey, what's up? Is Dez bothering you?"

"No, it's Ally she was helping out here at the store and then she went a little out of it! Next thing we knew, she collapsed! She's disoriented we need your help to get her to the hospital!" Trish sounded scared and confused.

I quickly replied in a panic, glad I had my parents' car "I'm on my way! Make sure she stays awake!"

I flew down the road expecting to see an emergency vehicle, but it was quiet and even though there were plenty of cars in the parking lot the mall seemed deserted. Sonic Boom's lights were out I realized as I got closer and I rushed in confused that the door was unlocked and no one was there.

"Hello?" I called and the lights flashed on.

Everyone jumped out yelling "surprise" except Ally who signed. I sighed with relief as I hurried to her side and she laughed at my confusion.

"I thought you were in bad shape! Thank you for the surprise though." I signed as she sat down in a chair at one of many tables that had been set up in the store.

She replied "Trish's acting classes really paid off there. Sorry to worry you, but while waiting for you I met Kayla the translator."

I noticed the red headed girl gliding toward us, a clutch hanging from a strap on her shoulder and a nice dress with jacket ensemble she had on. She waved and Ally smiled a little less enthused than I hoped she'd be. I watched Kayla dance through the crowd as pictures were being taken of the decorations and us. Ally's attention was lured toward a corner of the room suddenly I realized and I followed her gaze.

I grimaced as I saw Dallas also making our way toward us. Ally didn't move from the seat at all as Kayla finally got to us which worried me. Instead she dazedly took Kayla's hand shaking it as they greeted each other a second time and then she glanced at me as Dallas joined our group. He smiled introducing himself to Kayla before talking to me.

"Happy birthday Austin, Ally recruited me to help. I hope that it didn't make you think something else. She said Trish and Dez don't keep secrets very well and needed to rely on me for some of the party ideas." Dallas explained and I felt a little less irritated.

I saw Kayla translating for Ally and Ally after Kayla finished turned away sighing. Kayla looked disappointed realizing that Ally didn't like everything being translated for her like a kid. She tapped Ally's shoulder and Ally glanced at her before gesturing at me.

"Ally, said that it was okay to ask the birthday boy to dance a song with me." Kayla explained.

I wanted to ask Ally, but she just gestured an okay. I accepted the dance and we danced to a fast song. Then as it finished a minute later, Ally was still sitting at the table. Kayla grabbed my arm wanting another dance. I ended up dancing a slow dance with her and saw Dallas lead Ally to the floor, but something was wrong.

As the song ended I pulled away from Kayla ignoring her protests to keep dancing and let Ally be. Dallas walked off to get refreshments at this point and Ally was staring off into space trying to focus as she sat down again at the same table as before. Then it was as if it was in slow motion, Ally passed out falling to the side out of the chair. Her eyes lightly fluttered before they closed and the music stopped like a scene in a movie. I removed my jacket propping it under her head as someone dialed 9-1-1. I knew she had overworked herself earlier, but the fact that I let her nag at me. All I could do was wait until a professional checked her now.

Sorry it's a bit late, but here is my next chapter!
