Chapter 9: Truth & Quietness return

Dez's POV (A/N: FINALLY! Unfortunately it's very brief.)

I literally jumped at least a foot in the air when I heard someone yelped. I quickly turned my body around, so I can give that guy the annoyed glare. I gasped and saw it who it was. My mood was then changed to excitement because Austin Moon, my best friend, had finally come home! I could've stayed mad at him, but what was the use of doing that if it was your long time friend, who was on his European tour, finally came back to Miami? Could you still be mad at him for not keeping in touch with? Sure it was two years, but who cares? At least more than half of Team Austin was back! Now, I just wish my love, Trish, was here. Oh, Trish.

"AUSTIN," I roared happily, giving him a brother-to-brother, bone crushing hug. "I am so glad to see you back in Miami!"

"Dez, I c-c-can't b-b-breathe," Austin gasped.

As I released him, he was on his knees, coughing up a lung. Or did it sound like he was trying to cough up his other lung, too? Eh, I guess it wouldn't matter anymore because he was, well, coughing.

Before he had a chance to ask a question, it took Austin a minute to get up from the floor and silence his coughing fits by clearing his throat. "What do you mean by chest wound, Dez?"

I glanced at Ally, who had a look that said, "Great, and Dez! I didn't want Austin to find out about my attempt of suicide!" Whoops!

Fearing that Ally was going to kill me, I came up with a lame excuse: "Uhm, I gotta go! I left my..uh..uh.. my pet rabbit outside!" I started slowly moving backwards—not moving my eyes away from Ally—but then I ran out the door before anybody could stop me.

Narrator's POV

"Huh, since when did he have a rabbit?" Austin asked, pointing his thumb towards the direction where Dez had both entered and left the room.

Ally didn't say anything. All she did was look down at her lap.

He cleared his throat and asked Ally why did she have the chest wound.

She gave a curt sigh and started to talk to him. "Well, it's complicated. I mean it… let's just say my was caused by people who hurt me emotionally."

Austin's hands were making tight fists in his jean pockets. "Who caused to almost commit suicide?" he asked tersely.

Ally's POV

I should of looked up at him. Heck, my mind was screaming at me to look up at him. I couldn't do it. I mean, it would break my heart to look at my best friend-or were just friends since he had not been keeping in touch with any of us [Trish, Dez, and me] during his European

"Ally, please tell me who did this to you," he asked softly. I felt his hand gently left my chin up. I gazed in his warm, hazel eyes and saw him starting to lean in close to my face. I had a sudden urge to give him a sweet kiss, but after the pain he caused me, I wasn't ready for him. I made it really obvious about the answer to his question because when he was inches apart from mine, I turned my quickly to the left.

He gave annoyed sigh, but then gasped. "Damn it, Ally! Why did you do.. Are you saying I am the one who caused you this pain?"

I stayed silent, since all the jumbled up words were caught in my throat. You know when people used to say that if you stay silent, it probably means that statement was true? Well in this case, Austin was only partially right; he didn't know about the Australian Austin look alike and the nasty Smile cousins. I wasn't ready to explain to him about those three, but I guess I had to be ready for that.

I slowly moved my face back towards him. His eyes were now clouded what looked like to be sorrow. "Ally, I have a feeling I am too late to say it but I am going to say it anyways. I am truly sorry. I never meant—"

I held up my right hand to silence him. Tears were welling up in my eyes as I explained to him who else was involved in my attempt of suicide: "Austin, it's not just you; there were three other people who had caused this. Australian jackass named Sammy Dawkins. I should've known better to like him (he just played with emotions like I was a new throwaway music CD[1].), letting him talk me in to using my song writing skills (he claimed HE wrote the song, just so he could impress some girl.), or to call him a 'friend' (he didn't stick up for me when his girlfriend and her cousin called me 'fatso, slut, and whore.') There is of your answer."

Austin looked like he wanted to hug me, but apparently he was holding himself back. He probably was afraid that I would either push myself away from him or the fact he might act like Sammy. Truth be told, I wouldn't have mind if Austin gave me a comforting hug.

As if I read his mind, I told him the reason why he was on my "attempt of suicide" list was because he broke my heart in a million tiny pieces.

Austin turned on his heel and moved his body towards the door. He ignored my "And that's the reason why I didn't tell you, Austin Moon" speech as he walked out of the room.

I groaned and flung my head hard against my pillow as a negative thought ran freely in mind. Damn it, Ally! You just you had to piss him off today, didn't you? After all, he just returned from his two year tour."

(Days later, at Ally's house)

I sighed heavily. I didn't talk to anybody. I just lie there, on my bed and stare at the ceiling, while my thoughts kept on replaying the memory of Austin leaving my former hospital room. It had been a few days since Austin last talked to me. If he was pissed off me for almost killing myself, well he was partially the blame too. If not, why was he not talking to me? Oh, well I guess I would have to wait until tomorrow and see what would happen.

I yawned. "It's good to back in my own room," I said to myself as I closed my eyes for sleep.
