Hey I'm back! Whoo! So I finished my other multi-chapter story, Discovery & Choices. I'm really happy about that actually.

I think I have one or two chapters left in this story which I'm very excited about. I hope you are as well! :)

Disclaimer: Yo! Who do you think ya are? Huh? In what world would you think I own Austin and Ally? Yeah not this one…I don't own Austin and Ally.

He nodded and left me staring at the door.

I finally built up the courage to open the door.

And there was Austin.

On a hospital bed sleeping or at least I hoped he was sleeping.

The tears started to form in my eyes.

I somehow found my way over to the seat next to his bedside.

There I held his hand and let the tears fall.

I have absolutely no idea how long I was there for.

I wouldn't want to imagine what I looked like.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

A strange head popped in the door, "Miss Dawson?" he asked.

"Yes, w-who are you?" I asked sitting up straighter.

"My name is Detective Pierce, may I ask you some questions?" he asked walking into the room a little more.

"Why?" I asked. Wow how tired I must've been.

"The Police want to get to the bottom of this case, and you seem to be a witness. The questions aren't going to be hard. Just some yes or no. maybe you might have to describe some details of your imprisonment. May I begin?" I shuddered at the word imprisonment.

"Yeah, I guess so." I replied.

"Why did you, and your two friends first go to the building in which you were held?" he asked.

"We were told there was a meeting we had to attend. We thought it was for our excellent school GPA's but obviously that wasn't the case." I explained.

"Who was the meeting hosted by?" asked the detective asked.

"Nancy Dee and her 'assistant' Victor Write." I said.

"How did they imprison you?"

"They kindly asked us to sit on a bench while they cleared the table from a meal we had. All of did as told and the next thing I knew we were behind bars." I replied.

"How does Austin fit into the picture? How do you know him?"

"He is Victor's step-nephew. Austin said he lost his parents when he was young and Victor was the only one who took him in. we was at the lunch at the meeting. Nancy and Victor told him to keep an eye on us. He told us that he tried to warn us to leave, which he did."

"How?" he interrupted me.

"He put little slips of paper in our food that told us to leave. None of us really ate out meals so we never found the slip of paper. Austin told us that his job was to make our lives hell. He didn't tell us why though, and we never quite understood that part and I'm thankful for that. He told us that other as he called them 'bodyguards' would beat, shoot and hurt the imprisoned. He said that he and Dallas weren't like that, that they didn't want to see anybody hurt. And that's how the zip line came into effect." I explained.

"My understanding is you didn't you down the zip line. Is that true?" he asked.

"Yeah, I was about to go actually. Austin had just stepped out of the room to get my harness, and-and Nancy came in with two girls around my age, she-she tt-told them to shoot me. My instincts started to work and I ran, my cell was opened, Austin opened it before he left. If he hadn't I might not be here." I said.

"One more question Ally, who shot Nancy and Victor?" he asked.

"I-I wasn't there but I heard the gun shots. Austin told me that Nancy ad Victor had him at gunpoint then out of nowhere Dallas shot them both. He then told Austin to run and find me and my friends." I said.

"Okay, thank you for your time Ally. We are going to get to the bottom of this case." Detective Pierce said shaking my hand.

He then exited the room.

I glanced over at Austin who was just opening his eyes.

"Hey sleepy head. How was the nap?" I asked.

He gave me a weak smile.

"Good, Ally what happened?" he asked weakly.

"We tried to stop the bleeding then the medics came and I was torn apart from you, I got checked up, and a minute ago there was a detective here asking me questions and here we are." I said with a small smile.

"You're so brave," he whispered.

I took his hand in mine once again and said, "No I'm not. If anyone is, it's you. You got stabbed and you ran while you were bleeding excessively, and now you have to recover and it's all my fault, and now you won't have anyone to give you a house, you'll become an orphan or you'll go into the foster system." I rambled.

"Ally, I would rather be an orphan or be in the foster system than live the life I was living, that was hell. I never want to go back to a life like that." He said.

"Yeah, and I'm the strong one." I said sarcastically.

"You are, I never said I wasn't, I just said you were." He said with a sly smile dancing across his face.

I laughed at his last sentence, "You make no sense at all."

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

In came the head of my father.

"Dad." I whispered.

"Ally." He said softly.

We just looked at each other for a minute.

Suddenly we were hugging each other like we were each other last life line.

So that's the end for now!

I hope you enjoyed!

Remember: REVIEW!

I think there is one chapter left!

Peace!
