Disclaimer: I do not own Austin and Ally.

I make my way into the house, and spot my parents seated on the couch. My mum sitting there, a tissue in her hand sniffling while, my dad comforts her a hand on her back. Why can't they understand that I can't throw away my life like this? I hate him. I don't want to marry him. This is so unfair. Why did I have to come here? Why did dad have to make that stupid deal? Why! I know I should walk in and say sorry. I know I should comfort them…But I don't. I walk past them, heading upstairs. And like that my heart cracks right there.

Scene Change

"Ally!" My mum screams from downstairs. I jump as I pull my earplug off. What is she screaming about? I scramble up and grab my flip flops while running downstairs.

"What happened?" I ask worried. Mom stand there whimpering while my dad slips his shoes on.

"Ally, Dez is in the hospital." He says his voice shaky. My heart drops and shatters. A horrible feeling erupts in my stomach.

"W-what…how? What happened?!" I demand. My mum chokes back a cry.

"Ally you will stay here okay? We will check up on him, while you stay in the house alright? He's seriously injured, and he might...Just stay alright." He says his voice low and deadly.

My mom sighs at my dad, "We'll send someone over to pick you up so you can visit him. When the time is right, okay?" She says.

I bite my tongue to hold back my pleas, and contradicts. Instead, I nod gritting my teeth at him in anger. I'm closer to Dez than anyone in the whole frickin world. And I stay here when he's lying on a hospital bed? Um. Heck to the no. They turn around and practically run outside into the car. Leaving me here with my mind swirling.

Scene Change

"Mom, dad! Where is he?" I ask running towards them. Let me give you a flashback on what has happened. Well there's not much. After an agonizing hour or so, I finally got permission to come to the hospital. Patrick drove me here and now I'm running down the hall to my weeping mom and shaken dad. My mom holds back a sob. "I need to see him!" I yell desperately. The doctor signals for me to come with him and I obey.

We walk into the still room, only the annoying beeps of the monitors can be heard. My heart sinks once I take a look at Dez. I feel tears stinging at my eyes. His face is bruised and scratched, his leg is on a cast and his face is deathly pale. "What happened to him…?" I ask quietly.

The doctor looks through his papers, "I'll give you the summary. We've found that has been beaten severely, bruises and some broken bones. He has a stab wound in his stomach which will heal. He also has a broken leg. We have called the police and they are investigating this case, right now. They might also want to talk to you." He says pushing his glasses up his nose. "Due to his severities he is in a coma." He says.

Tears roam down my cheeks like a waterfall. "You can fix him right? He'll be okay. This is all just a joke. I know it is. C'mon Dez wake up!" I plead desperately.

The doctor sighs, "I'm sorry Miss Dawson…Do you want some time alone?"

I nod and the doctor exits the room. I walk over and pull up a chair while grabbing his hand. I wipe my tears, and take a deep breath which comes shakily. "Dez..." I start. "Hey, how are you doing? It's me Ally…Your sister. I'm really worried Dez, and scared. And I know you can hear me, or maybe you can't, I don't know I'm not a doctor. But if you can please just show me a sign, anything…Please!" I whisper. Now yeah people would expect Dez to flutter his eyes open right there, but this isn't a fantasy, this is reality. So Dez lays there still not moving at all. I sigh and rest my head on the bed.

Scene Change

"Miss Dawson?" A voice calls interrupting me. I bring my head up and see a policeman standing there with some papers.

"Yeah? That's me." I say standing up and leaving Dez's side hesitantly.

He smiles at me, "We have a few questions for you. Can you come with me?" He asks. I nod wordlessly and follow him out the room taking one glance back at Dez. We walk out of the room to a non-vacant room.

"Now…I know you have a lot of questions pertaining to Dez. And most probably after what I'm going to tell you, they'll be answered. Now, here's the story." He starts. "Dez was found out in an ally, at about five in the evening. His cuts and bruises were fresh, so the men couldn't have gone far. Someone called the police and we took him to the hospital and called your parents. So here we are. Now, do you know if Dez was involved with anything?" He asks.

I realize what he means and immediately shake my head, "No. No way, Dez is a good kid, he definitely isn't involved in anything bad." I say shaking my head.

He nods and takes some notes. "Is there anyone who takes a dislike towards him?" He asks.

I shake my head, "Not that I know of. He's always nice, and everyone he meets like him." I say.

"What about money? Did he have any unpaid loans? Or something like that?" He asks. My heart beats faster, when you know what comes into my mind. He probably notices because he sets his pen down and rests a hand on my hand. "Ally tell us, we'll keep you safe don't worry." He says comfortingly.

I sigh, "Why? Why are you asking about money? Did you find anything?" I ask switching the subject.

"That's classified information, I can't tell you…" He says sympathetically. It already looks like he's about to break, just need to bring out the eyes.

"He's my brother…" I say pulling the eyes. He sighs and slowly takes out a package from his pocket. He zips it open, and takes out a piece of paper.

"Here." He says handing me the paper. I take it, and examine it. The paper is slightly crumpled and there's a patch of crumpled blood. On it with scrawny black ink is written:

Here's a reminder. The clock is ticking, pay up…I'm waiting.

I think I know who sent this note… "We found it laying beside your brother's body. We don't know what it means but it's obvious they were asking to "pay" up. I think that whoever this was, did this to give a warning or something…" He says. Yeah I think I have a pretty good idea, of who did this…Jack Ford…

Scene Change

It was him. I am absolutely sure he did this. Why can't they bring him in!? It all fits. Let me give you a flashback of what happened. I told the police officer, Michael about this whole thing and guess what? He told me that he couldn't bring him in without real proof! It is real proof. If they don't bring him in and if he doesn't get what he deserves, he could hurt us even more…Unless. We get the money. Unless we pay him back. And the only way to pay him back is to…

I have to do this. Mom and dad need me. For them. For their safety. For Dez.

Scene Change

"Mom…Dad…?" I ask timidly, with my heart beating fast.

"Ally…" My mom calls her voice weak and frail. I sigh and feel even more guilty.

"Can I come in?" I ask.

"Yeah…" She mumbles. I sigh and take a deep breath and walk in. Mom is seated on her chair, with puffy eyes, and dad is talking on the phone out on the balcony.

"Mom…" I say starting timidly. This is it you've got this Ally. For Dez. For Dez.
