Hello
I hope you enjoyed the last chapter, I wasn't actually planning on writing that particular chapter, but it kind of just came. Anyway, this is getting very cringy, so here is CHAPTER 8.
Austin's POV
Olivia just placed bowls and bags of snacks when the sound of shattering glass filled the room.
"Awwh, shit man." Olivia groaned. "Something broke in te other room. My moms going to get so angry." She walks out of the room as I take a handful of popcorn. Zac and Adam snigger at the thought of Olivia being in trouble with her mother.
"OHMYGOD! Guys, come here!" Olivia sounded scared, which only made me run faster along with the others to the drawing room. When we entered, I was not expecting to see what I saw. Amber swore under her breath at the sight of ally lying next to the mahogany table, shards of glass glittering from the light of the chandelier, and a pool of scarlet circling her head.
"Dez! W-what happened to ally?" Olivia said. She was knelt down beside ally, cradling her head on her lap. The others had joined her beside ally, Adam, however, had gone aside to call an ambulance. My feet were stuck to the ground.
"I-I don't know what happened. Austin left the room, ally bent down to do her laces, I turned around to leave the room. Ally, she sort of-yelped. I turned around and saw her falling, I grabbed her wrist-so she wouldn't fall of course, but she held onto the table cloth and the vase smashed on her head and she didnt get up when I called her name." Dez shook his head. "I'm sorry. I should have done something more to help her, I just couldn't think on the spot. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." His head was now in his hands and he was sobbing.
"hey." Olivia said softly "it wasnt your fault-" she was cut off by the sharp voice of amber.
"he's talking bullshit." She said.
"Amber!" Olivia looked startled.
"Olivia, you've always been gullible, but today it's important to not be so gullible! Look at him! His story doesn't add up. Why didnt he call us as soon as she went unconcious instead of looking-possibly guiltily-at ally lying on the floor? He is lying!" Zac put his hand on Amber's shoulder. Amber jerked it off. "Can you not believe me at least once?! Bloody hell! Just wait, you will all realise one day that he" she pointed a finger at dez "is a fucking asshole!"
The room went deadly silent. The sound of blaring sirens were getting closer, until the someone knocked on the door. Amber bolted out of the room and seconds later, paramedics rushed into the room with a stretcher. A little blonde lady came in after the paramedics carried ally to the door.
"Who made the call?" She said.
"Me." Adam said at the same time as me. He looked at me curiously. "It was my phone. But Austin made the call." He finally said.
"okay, Austin, how are you related to the patient?"
I remember from somewhere that only family and trusted and close people are able to go in ambulances with people. My brain ticked until i came up with a good lie.
"her name is ally. I am her boyfriend." I say. "Is she going to be okay? Can I see her?"
"well, only one person is allowed to accompany her in the ambulance, I guess that person is you?" I nodded, "come along then." She walks out,
"we will meet you there Austin." I here Olivia say behind me as I walk out of the house and into the ambulance.
Once I was inside the ambulance, I saw ally, with an oxygen mask her already. I was so dazed seeing ally- someone who was so full of life, completely life less-i didn't notice the nurse asking me questions, until I felt a soft hand on my right shoulder, I look up an see a woman with chocolate brown skin and soft brown eyes.
"you should sit down." She says and puts me down on a seat right next to ally. As soon as I sit, the doors of the ambulance behind me slam shut and the ambulance drives off, the siren roaring in my ears. "I need to ask you a few questions about what happened to this young girl, so we can check her in in the hospital. So, have you told her parents?"
"I-I don't have their number." I focused my attention on the nurses shoes, so I wouldn't cry, which doesn't make sense really, I've only known ally for a couple of weeks.
"Okay..well, we will have to contact them immediately, to sign some things. So can you explain what happened to her?"
"Well, we were just sitting and talking, but then we all went to the other room to have something to eat, ally was still in the room with Dez, but he said that after doing her laces she tripped over or something, he turned around when she screamed or something and tried to help her but she grabbed the tablecloth and the vase smashed on her head." I put my head in my hands "it's my fault, I should have stayed behind after we talked, then she wouldn't have slipped, ugh! Why am I such a-"
"hey hey hey." The nurse put her hand on my knee "it's not anyone's fault, people trip everyday, it's normal, it's just unfortunate there was a vase and that fell. Her injury isn't really that serious, from the looks of it, but we will have to look into it, so nohing is certain, which means-don't jump to any conclusions, do you understand?" I nodded my head and looked up. The ambulance had stopped.
Dez's POV
Why was ally so stupid? Why did she want to run, I wasn't doing anything wrong. And now she has a big smash thing on her head. She's not perfect anymore. But I guess that will heal. But...what is she going to say after she wakes up? She's going to say i pushed her and it was all my fault. I can't let that happen, I have to make sure she doesn't wake up.
Austin walked out of the room really fast. He was so worried, why? Why is he worried about my girlfriend? Maybe-maybe it was because of Austin that ally didnt want to go out with me. Maybe she was cheating on me. With Austin.
No, no. Austin would never do that to me. He's my best mate. Inwould never do that to him, so he wouldn't do it to me.
We were a in Olivia's car, no one had said a thing after Amber's accusation. She was sitting at the front with Olivia, and I sat at the back with Adam and zac. I was in the middle, zac to my left and Adam to my right. Well, I think it is my right. Neither of them had said anything to me, but I think Zac is more angry at me. He probably agrees with amber. I have to do something to make my story believable. I stared straight ahead until the back of my eye were stinging and tears began to fall down my cheeks. I put my head in my hands.
"Amber, I am sorry. I should have done something more, but-"
"ugh, can you just stop talking. I don't believe you, but that doesn't matter, you talking bullshit is not going to help ally. So close your fucking mouth."
"amber, look thats enough, Dez is traumatised, after a while he might remember some more details which will make his story add up. Anyway, why would e try to hurt ally?" Olivia said, trying to keep her voice firm.
"Ask him." Amber was staring out of her window as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. Why was she so hard to lie to?
"There is no time. We are here." As soon as the words left Adams mouth, my stomach tensed as ideas of how to make sure ally wouldnt wake up started tumbling in my head.
I hope you liked that!
there was kind of a last minutes change of plan. I was going to make this chapter about exactly what happened to ally and if tere was going to be any side affects of the 'fall' but I thought the chapter was really long, so i kind of changed my mind as i wrote it. But I hoped you liked it all the same. :)
