Take Me Or Leave Me

~Austin's pov~

***Chapter 21***

"Allyson Dawson." the nurse at the hospital calls. I get up and take long quick strides over to her.
"Is she okay? When can I see her?" is the first thing that comes out of my mouth. The nurse puts a hand on my shoulder and slightly squeezes.
"She's fine dear, just a mild case of dehidration. She can go home soon, it's a good thing you got her here when you did or else it could have been worse." the nurse says taking her hand off my shoulder and walks away. I walk back to the gang and start pacing in front of them.
"Austin, just calm down. What did the nurse say?" Sam asks. I run my hands through my hair.
"That it's just a mild case of dehidration nad she can go home soon. Oh yeah and if we didn't get her here when we did it could have been worse." I look at Emma.
"She'll be okay, Austin." Emma say's. I walk over to Emma and sit beside her.
"I don't know what I'd do if she wasn't." I whisper, she must have heard me because she grabs my hand and squeezes. "She will be." Em says.
"It's my fault, Em."
"Austin," she say's sadly.
"It is! I should have taken care of her. I shouldn't have went out back, I should have made sure she ate all of the soup I made. I should have stayed with her. Oh god, I'm a horrible best-friend." I say putting my hands over my face.
"Austin, stop this! She's fine, okay?! You messed up, everyone does! She wont hate you! Do you remember who she wanted when they had to take her and we weren't allowed to go in?" I sit there silent.
"Who, Austin. Who?!" Emma says staring at me.
"Me." I mumble.
"Who?" she asks.
"Me! Okay, this isn't really helping, Emma." I say.
"Austin, she wanted you to go with her. She doesn't want to be alone." Sam says.
"Austin look where you are! A hospital, you hate the hospital but you've been here for over two hours." Em says.
"Do you think Ally likes hospitals?" Sam asks, I shake my head instantly.
"Hey guys" Trish says raspily, walking into the waiting room. She looks at me. "Austin are you okay?" she asks, I shake my head 'no' and rub the back of my neck.
"I'm so sorry Als." I whisper.

"Em, when can I see Ally?" I ask, unable to get comfertable in the hard chair. I look at Emma and she faces me, her eyes glitter from the lights above our heads.
"Austin, stop acting like you're five. And how many times do I have to tell you-" Emma's cut off by small, weak, breaking voice.
"A-austin?" I look up at the person, there's Ally standing beside the nurse. Some colour is already back in her face. I get up and run over to her wrapping her in a hug and spinning her around.
"Ally!" I say. She squeals and clings onto me tightly. I place her back on the ground but I don't let her out of the embrace. "I'm so sorry."
"I should have known." She whispers into my chest.
"I should have stayed with you, not went outside. I should have made sure you ate the soup, I shouldnt have let Sam and Patrick stay. I'm sorry, Als." I whisper.
"I don't like it here." she says into my chest.
"I know, we've been here for over 3 hours I think." I say kissing the top of her head.
"Can we go home?" she asks. I smile when she say's 'home'.
"Yes, we can go home." I say letting her go. I walk away but she stay's there. I turn around and have her over. "Well, c'mon." I say. She simply holds out her hand. I look at her face, then her hand, then her face again. I walk back to her and grab her hand.

"Ally." I call out her name, shaking her shoulders.
"hmmmmm?" she hums. Her eye's flutter open.
"One; I called your dad, he said you could sleep here again and two. It's midnight and I wanted to know if you wanted to know if you wanted to watch a movie with me." she yawns.
"Sure." I put a movie in the dvd player in my room and hand Ally a glass of water. She gulps it down place's the cup on the side table and lays back down on my bed.
"You feelin any better?" I ask her, laying beside her.
"A bit." she says. I wrap my arm around her and she cuddles closer.
"Ally, I'm sorry I couldn't go in with you. I really wanted too but they only let family in."
"I know, I heard you call for me." a blush creep's up onto my face and I hold her tighter.
"I heard you call for me." there is a pause before I start talking again. "You know it took 3 of the male nurses to hold me back from going in after you. I felt so bad." I say, I feel her head lift up off of my chest and she looks at me.
"Three?" she asks.
"Three." I state "and the only reason I stopped when I did was because one of the guy's was about to punch me because you were already long gone but I wouldn't stop fighting them. Then I almost fought him but Patrick, Dez, Ron, Dan, Jeff and Josh all had to pull me away from the guy."
"Austin, you shouldn't have done that." I laugh. "What?"
"How did I know you would say that?" I laugh. She smiles and playfully smaks my chest. I give her a painful face my hand fluttering to the place that she hit me. "Ow." I say.
"Faker. I didn't even hit you that hard." she says putting her head back down on my chest.

"Austin! Ally! Open up!" Emma yells banging on my bedroom door. My eye's flutter open. "I'm coming in and you better be clothed!" Emma yells opening my door.
"Morning Em." I yawn. Ally stirs, her face laying up by my shoulder, her arm draped over my bare chest. Her finger's cirl, running over the muscles on my stomach. I smile down at her semi-sleeping form. "Morning Als." she cuddles closer.
"Shhh, it's not morning yet." she mumbles into my chest. I laugh.
"Yes it is, Ally-cat. C'mon we need to finish the video today." I laugh, she wines.
"Aus!"
"Als!" she lifts her head, her brown eyes looking at my face. She pouts at me and look at her lips, instantly thinking of kissing her but I scold myself just as quickly. I place my fingers on my lips and kiss them, then place them on her lips. She looks at my fingers and kiss' them. "okay?" I ask. She shakes her head 'no' and flops down on my chest and run's her fingers over my chest. "We can sing or watch another movie together. We just have to wait a few hours." I tell her. She picks up her head and looks at me through her eye lashes, and I feel butterfly's in my stomach like I'm going on the biggest roller-coaster ever.
"Just you and I, Austin&Ally time?" she asks.
"Austin&Ally time." I say, wiping her hair out of her face. She smiles at me.
"Can you help me with something though?" She asks sitting up facing me, I sit up as well.
"Of course."
