Chapter 3 - Confusion

Ally's P.O.V.

I later woke up in from the haze of my world to a hospital room. My brain went crazy. I must have hit my head of the gravestone and knocked myself out.

Seeing Austin must have been a dream. It must have happened after I hit my head. It was nothing but my subconscious making me see something that I wanted to see and not something that was real.

I close my eyes and wait for the inevitable. My parents coming to get me from the hospital. They are going to call me obsessive with Austin.

I tried a lot to move on but I kept comparing them with Austin and they never held a candle.

I feel sleep closing in and I welcome it. I want to escape from this harsh reality and into a world where everything is fine; my world where Austin is sitting next to me, his hands clasping mine.

I am drifting in and out of sleep. I have been for awhile though I haven't actually opened my eyes since that first time.

"If it doesn't happen soon, then I must ask you to be considering turning it off..." A voice, scratchy and flat, drifts into my ears. It isn't the first voice I've heard in my dreams but this is the first time I've heard this guy.

I normally hear peoples voices that I know, not ones that I don't know.

"I... I..." Evidently my parents are here as I hear my mom stutter. I try to open my eyes to show them that I'm fine but my eyelids are so heavy. I hear her take a breath and then her crying.

"We'll have to think about it. This is just too much to deal with for now." Dad sounds so heartbroken, why is he so sad?

Seconds slowly tick by.

I am still drifting between waking and sleeping.

A few more seconds. Footsteps now walk away from me towards what I gather is the door. Next I hear a shuffling of feet and a few voices, my parents and someone else's. I can't hear what they are saying but the someone sounds really upset.

"NO!" A loud voice yells. It was that same someone. "How could you even think of doing that!? She's your daughter!" Who is that? They sound so much like Austin; maybe I'm dreaming again.

Again, my dad's quiet voice giving an answer to the distressed person.

"Mr. Dawson, I will never give up hope!" The person's voice sounds so much like Austin. "If you aren't willing to have hope, I'll take over. I'll pay for all of her medical bills! Don't tell me that I can't afford it because you know I can!"

Feet pound on the floor and a door slams shut, the squeal of a chair being pulled. Tingles shoot up my arm as I feel my hand come in contact with another hand. They lift my hand off the bed, placing it on something rough.

Goosebumps spread throughout my body, almost as if my body isn't used to moving.

"Ally, I wish that this never happened to you. It should have been me that got hurt on that stupid ride." My heart wrenches inside at the sound of this mans voice. He sounds like Austin and hearing him so close makes it seems like Austin is truly alive. "If only we went home when you asked or if you never came, maybe this never would have happened."

I cannot deny it. This man has to be Austin. The way he speaks with such care, the underlying sing-song voice, it has to be him. I just don't know how he could be alive after all these years.

"Alls, please, wake up. You have to, I love you to much to say goodbye." I can feel the tears on my hand as they run down Austin's face.

I try to open my eyes or move the hand that I presume is on his face, just to let him know that I'm okay but it took to much energy just to be able to hear the conversation that just took place. In the end I manage to twitch my eyelids.

"Ally...? Mr. Dawson, come quick! She just moved her eyelids!" Was all I heard before the sweet escape of sleep comes and claims me.

So some people might be confused at what happened, some might not.

Basically, Ally got hurt in a freak accident and end up in a coma.

Austin had told her many time while she was in her coma that she should never have gone, that it should've been him. So that is what she started to live in her dream world.

Ally is living in a dream world where she didn't go and realizes what would have happened and now we are to present day.
