Hey guys! So sorry I haven't updated in a little while. I know it's been like a week or so now, but my idiot little brother drop my laptop from like six feet in the air and when the Internet wouldn't work, I tried to turn it off and back on, but now it won't even turn on. So long story short, I'm typing this on my iPod and it might take a little bit longer.
Again sorry, but I'm typing now and hopefully I can start getting one up every other day because I have a study hall class now. Yeah. My counselor screwed up and put me in a junior class while I'm a sophmore. So no more creative writing for me. I'm not very happy about it, but life goes on.
Sorry. I'm ranting. Here's the chapter.
Enjoy!
Austin's POV
She looked at me and smiled. That smile could instantly melt your heart if you saw it. It radiated across the room and lit up the atmosphere. It would cheer me up no matter what mood I was in. My career could disappear overnight and I wouldn't care if she would be smiling.
We were currently sitting on the hospital bed. Her in my arms and me leaning against the back of the bed. She leaned against my chest and was looking sip at my face. I had one arm around her shoulder and the other was in her lap while she played with my fingers.
I smiled back at her, just enjoying the moment we had. We were watching Tom and Jerry (1) and waiting for the doctor to come back and tell us when she was allowed to leave. He had come in earlier to see how she was doing now that she was awake.
Flashback
Ally had just agreed to be my girlfriend. My heart beat was pounding in my ears and my breathing actually stopped. I couldn't find the words to say next. She was mine. I was hers. We were each others. We were together.
I took a step back to the middle of the hospital room. My breath caught in my throat and my whole body numb, I stared at her, not knowing what to so next.
"Austin?" She asked. Concern was written all over her face as her eyes scanned my face over and over again, looking for any sign of life.
"Y-you... You said y-y-yes?" I stumbled over my words, still not being able to breathe.
"Of course I said yes." She clarified. My eyes dig into hers to search for any sign of her lying. But there was none. She spoke with true honesty and I just couldn't grasp that. She was so positive that her answer was yes. Like it was the only thing she was ever one hundred percent positive on. And that meant she was mine. And only mine.
I let out all the breath I had been holding in and let the color return to my face. I saw her visibly relax and let my heart rate slowly decrease again. It still want at a normal speed because Ally was in the room with me and she had just agreed to be my girlfriend, but at least I knew my chest wouldn't explode now.
I stood there for another second to comprehend everything that just happened. She was my girlfriend. My girlfriend. Girlfriend. Mine. Ally. And me. Together.
Finally.
my feet started jumping slightly so that the heels of them were bouncing off the floor every other second. A huge childlike grin spread across my face an I couldn't help what came next.
"She said yes!" I yelled . Ally gave me a confused smile and started shaking her head. I pumped my fists into the air repeatedly and started dancing and jumping around the room.
"She said yes! She said yes! She said yes!" I screamed while dancing next to her bed. She sat up and swung her legs over the edge of the hospital bed. Still shaking her head, she stood up, silently wincing from the aim in her leg, and limped over to me. I stopped where I was to help her stay standing by wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her up against my body. She let her arms fall limp around my neck and we both just stood there.
"You said yes." I whispered into her hair.
"Yes." She giggled. "I did."
i laughed with her and held her tighter.
We pulled away when we herd the door open to see a doctor in the doorway. He held a clipboard and looked at Ally.
"I see you're awake." He stated.
"Um. Yeah."
"That's great." He smiled at her and I helped her walk back over to the bed so she could lie back down.
"When can she come home?" I spoke up.
"Let me go check. We may or may not have to do a few more tests to make sure you are doing okay." He explained to us. I stood next to her bed while she lied down. My hand found hers and I intertwined our fingers to let her know I was there.
"Okay. Thank you." She mumbled to him. He smiled again before leaving the room and sliding the door closed behind him.
Present
Now we were waiting for him to return and tell us what was going on. She turned her head back to the tv, but I kept my eyes on her. The light from the tv dancing off the curves of her face and cheekbones, the way her eyes squinted when she was laughing, and the way her hair frames her face, swaying slightly when she shook her head at the ridiculous tv show.
She was flawless. Absolutely beautiful.
I ran my hand down her arm, lingering for a second on her forearm. I watched as goosebumps formed under the feather light touch I ran down her arm. A smile graced my lips as I stopped to rest my hand at her hip. She tensed for a moment before relaxing into my touch. I ran y thumb in circles on her hip and she nuzzled her head into my chest to get more comfortable. Her eyes lifted up to meet mine and I froze at the sight of her big brown doe eyes. I always do. She gave me a half smile and I returned it with a small surer of her hip with my hand. Her eyes relaxed again and began to close. I watched as she drifted off to sleep looking at me.
Her breathing slowed and evened out as she drifted under. I rested my head on too of hers and pulled my arm tighter around her as my eyes got heavier and heavier. Next thing I knew, I was fast asleep, dreaming about Ally.
Ally's POV
My eyes opened to the bright light of a hospital room. The tv screen lit up in front of me as The Jetsons (2) ran across the screen. I smiled at the happy family as they all sat down for a meal together.
The was an odd warmth about the room I was in. I slowly began to feel the shape of a body appear next to me. There was a hand placed on my hip and my head was resting on their chest. I lifted my head to look up at the person next to me. Just as I saw their face, a sharp pain shot through my knee and thigh, stopping at my hip where the hand was resting.
I let out a scream and Austin, the person next to me, shot into an upright position, his eyes searching the room for any sign of danger.
"Ally! What's wrong?" He asked. He realized there was nobody in the room but us and looked down at me.
"Nothing. Sorry. It's just that my leg really hurts. I didn't feel it at first." I explained to him. His face relaxed and color returned to his once pale cheeks.
"Oh. Thank God. I wouldn't be able to stand it if something happened to you." He whispered. He buried his face in my hair and lifted his wither arm around my waist t give me and awkward, yet adorable, hug. I gladly accepted and placed my arm on his to attempt to hug him back. I heard him chuckle and apologize, but ignored him and squeezed his arm tighter.
Then, he placed a kiss on my head! Why would he do that?! I thought we agreed on being friends! Of course I like him. I always have. But that night on the pier we agreed to be friends and then it seemed like he lost interest in me. I know we has that night a little while ago where he found out who I was and he put me to bed and everything, but we were still friends. Right?
I felt the get run to my cheeks and I turned to face him again. He smiled and relaxed his hand back into my lap, all the while keeping his other hand protectively on my hip. I payed back on him and let out a confused breath. What was going on?
We watched tv for a few minutes before we heard the door open and looked over to see a doctor standing in the doorway. Austin grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers together as the doctor slid the door shut and walked over to us. My heart skipped a beat and my lungs had to work extra hard to function. What was he doing to me?
"Allyson Dawson. We are almost positive that you will be just fine. The cast must be worn for another month or so, but other than that, you should be okay. Before we let you go, we have to check on your face and run a few more tests to make sure that the hits to your head and the smoke didn't cause too much damage. Is that okay?" I turned to look at Austin and he nodded his head to encourage me. I really didn't want the bandage off my face. What if there was a scar? What if it was an ugly scar?
"Ally. You'll be beautiful no matter what. There's no need to be scared. I'm right here with you." Austin whispered in my ear. It was almost like he read my mind or could here my thoughts.
I looked back at the doctor and nodded my head. I could do this. If Austin said it would be okay, then I believed him. It'll be okay.
"Great. We want to do the tests first, but then we will check on your face."
"Okay." I croaked. What kind of tests did they want?
"I'm sorry sir, but you aren't allowed in the test room. You could wait here if you'd like." The doctor told Austin.
"Wait! He can't come with me!" I yelled. "I need him with me!" A tear fell down my cheek and Austin tightened his grip on my hip.
"The cat scan room is only allowed to have the patient in it. Even I can't go in. I will be in the next room over watching through a window and monitoring the results." The doctor explained.
I felt Austin's chest rise and fall as he took a deep breath.
"I'll be right here Ally. Waiting for you as soon as you get back. Okay?"
"Okay." I whispered. We both stood up and he turned my around so that I was facing him.
"Just remember that I'm right here. I will always be with you. And before you know it, we can leave and get out of here."
I nodded my head as he laced a kiss on my forehead. My cheeks got hot again and my heart flutter inside my chest. I looked down at my feet and the cast on my leg. I noticed he signed it.
There's no way I could make it without you. Cuz were better together. :) Love, Austin
A huge smile fell onto my face and a tear escaped the confines of my eye. I looked up at him and laughed a little, my shoulders heaving up and down as I let out a broken breath as I cried.
But they were happy tears. He shoved his hands in his jean pockets and shrugged his shoulders. I laughed again and threw my arms around his neck. His immediately found my waist and he pulled my into him. Lifting me slightly so that I was on my tiptoes and my face was buried in the crook of his neck. He squeezed me tighter than he ever has before, breaking so many best friend boundaries, but I didn't care.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"Anytime." He whispered back.
He let me go and the doctor helped me sit in the wheelchair he grabbed from the hallway since I still couldn't walk all that well on my leg. I waved to Austin and was wheeled out of the room.
Austin's POV
I sat in that stupid chair in the stupid corner again. My knee bouncing up and down nervously while my fingers drummed against the armrest. It's been forty-three minutes and Ally still isn't back from her cat scan. What if something was wrong. They would tell me if she was rushed into surgery. Right?
I brought my hand to my face and drug it down the side of my head before returning in to what it was doing previously. Calm down Austin. She's okay. It's a big test. They have to make sure everything is perfect. It's going to take a little while. But she's okay. It's all okay.
My legs were jumpy and my heart was thudding in my ears so loudly I could barely hear myself think. I shot up and started pacing around the room. What could be taking them so long? It's been... I looked up at the clock... Forty-seven minutes now. She should be back. I stopped to stare at the wall and ran my fingers through my hair. What if she passed out again? What if the machine broke? What if someone blew the room up? Okay that one is a little ridiculous. But what if someone did something? Lauren! What if Lauren got ahold of Ally? She could be torturing Ally right now! I've gotta find out where she is.
I turned around and bolted to the sliding door. My fingers shook as I reached out to grab the bar. I placed my hand on the cool metal and felt my arm go numb.
What if I'm too late?
Just then the door flew open and Ally was in front of me, sitting in the wheelchair, giving me a confused look.
"Ally." I choked on her name.
"Yeah. Are you okay? You don't look so good." She pointed out.
"I'm great now." I smiled and grabbed her in my arms, lifting her from the wheelchair. She squealed when I lifted her feet off the ground and spin her around the room. I set her back down by her bed and she laughed at me, shaking her head.
"Umm. Okay? What happened?"
"I just missed you. Is that so bad?"
"Why did you miss me? I was still in the building."
"I didn't see my girlfriend for a whole forty-eight minutes and wasn't sure if she was okay. Am I not allowed to miss you?"
"Wait. What did you say?"
"I missed my girlfriend..." I said causiously. Why was she so confused?
"Who's your girlfriend?" She asked slowly.
"You."
"Since when?"
"Since earlier this morning." I explained.
"No. This is the first time I've talked to you since the fire." She said. No. No! What? She doesn't remember. How could she forget that!
"Ally. Please." I whimpered.
"I don't remember that happening."
"Why can't you remember?" I turned to the doctor. "Why can't she remember?!" I screamed. He gave me a sad glance and stepped into the room, closing the door.
"About that..."
There you go! Chapter fourteen! I know. I know. I'm horrible. But I promise, it just gets better from here!
