Chapter 5 - Tries and Success

Ally's P.O.V.

Sleep as been my main focus and anytime I'm even close to awake, I cannot open my eyes for the life of me.

I do dream though. All of them starring Austin. It is just impossible for him to be alive. Even if I imagined him dead, that it was all a joke, too much time passed for me not to find out the truth yet I've been hearing his voice on and off since I've been awake. I also have been hearing my best friend Trish, my mom, Austin's best friend Dez, and my dad.

Even now, my dad is talking to me but his voice is so soft I cannot understand. The sound of the door opening causes my dad to stop.

"Hey Mr. Dawson. I'm here to see Ally. Anything new?"

It's that man again. His voice makes my heart jump and I can hear my own heart monitor beep slightly faster, although it's not enough for my dad to notice.

"Oh, hi Austin. No, nothing's new, she's the same as last time." Dad says that this person is Austin. It I know it can't be him, just someone who sounds like him and who also has the same name. Purely a coincidence.

"...Well... How about you take a break and I'll keep watch? You look like you need some rest." The man asks my dad but I don't know if my dad agreed because I didn't hear him respond.

After a long period of silence, I believe everyone left. Suddenly my hand is grabbed by another hand and is lifted up and placed on a rough surface once again.

The message I'm getting from the touch is telling me to open my eyes. I don't know if I can. Just the thought of opening them makes the sleepiness that has been calling me all the more sweeter but I have to try.

After an eternity of trying, I open them and stare right into the hazel eyes of a blond man, shock and excitement evident on his face.

It can't be! It's not true! He's dead!


Sorry about the time in between updates. Haven't been feeling that inspired to write lately. Maybe because of the lack of reviews?

Right now I am in my family's annual camping trip. We go for an entire week. Have been camping since I was little and it is not R.V. camping, it's tent camping.

If anyone has any ideas for anything, one-shot or a story, let me know.

Also, I am now a beta reader. If any of you would like me to do that for you, please PM me and we'll discuss it.

Until next time,
