Dez's P.O.V (After Dez tells Ally what happened)
Huh, that's weird. Ally never hangs up on me! I really need to find my Sky blue/Lime Green suspenders! Wait, what was I talking about? Wait, who am talking to? Ugh,nevermind. "Yoohoo, suspenders where are you?" I really wish Austin was here! I know he would help me look for them! Then after looking for hours, he'd say, "Dez,you're wearing your Sky Blue/Lime Green suspenders!" "What!? NO I'M NOT! Austin, I'm pretty sure I'd know If I was wearing my own suspenders!" I replied! "Just look buddy…" "Ok but I'm telling you I'm not wearing my susp- Oh hey what do ya know! These are my Sky Blue/Lime Green suspenders! Huh, I don't remember putting them on…" I say sheepishly. I would then ask Austin if he would want to wear my matching pair of Lime Green/Sky Blue suspenders, and he would decline cause he has a horrible fashion sense in my opinion. But I know my best friend so well, that I know he's probably thinking about pancakes. So I would ask him if he wants to go to IHOP to celebrate finding my suspenders ,and of course he would reply, "OH MY PANCAKE KING YES!" while jumping up and down like an excited 5-year old. Then we'd do our special handshake, "Whaddd uupppp!" Man, I miss Austin so much! He was my best friend. We were the only people who really understood each other, and even though he thinks I don't know it, I know he sometimes thinks I'm off my rocker. But he still sticks by me, cause that's how good of friends we are! We always have each others back, and we would never leave each other alone. Or that's what I thought. "OH DEAR GOD! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME AUSTIN?!" I cry. "WE WERE BEST FRIENDS! I NEED YOU!" I yell to my empty bedroom. After I vent my frustration, I think about how my life won't be the same. I'll be bullied again, and I'll go back to cutting myself. Everything changed though when I met Austin. He changed me, and helped me get my life back on track. For that I am gratefully grateful!*1 I can never look at pancakes the same way again. Now they're just a mixture of eggs, dough, and a lot of other complicated ingredients that go into pancakes! Who will help me look for my unisaur whenever he hides from me when we play hide and seek? (He is VERY hard to find!) Or who will help me get the girls? Ok who am I kidding! We all know that Austin was popular with the ladies because of me. But the nice friend I was, I let him have all their attention! But without Austin, It's like I lost a part of myself. There's no one I trust more than Austin and now he's gone. I have no one to talk to or to be there for me like he was. I am lost without my best friend. I am depressed, and I just want the suffering to end. Then I get an idea. If I miss Austin so much, then why don't I go visit him? For like eternity? So I decide to do what I used to do before I met Austin. Ahhh, the relief I get when I feel the dark, red liquid ooze out of my skin. It's like an overwhelming sense of joy. All my problems and stress just seem to disappear. I am just laying there with my razor in hand,and blood seeping into my neon orange carpet when Ally walks in my room.
Ally's P.O.V
"Hey Dez! OH MY GOD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! OH MY GOSH I NEED TO GET HELP! *breathe Ally! Remember to breathe* Umm what do I do!? Oh, Right! I'll call 9-1-1! Hello? Operator? PLEASE HELP ME! MY FRIEND IS DYING! Umm IDK WHAT HAPPENED, BUT PLEASE SEND AN AMBULANCE QUICK! The address? Why would you need his address? That's creepy! Oh wait, that's right! You need to know where to send the ambulance. *Slow down think rationally, Ally.*Umm the address is 5237 Walkid Lane. YES NOW PLEASE HURRY! I look over at Dez and I wonder how long he's been doing this. He never did this when Austin was around. He always seemed so happy and joyful! Maybe a little crazy-but for Dez that was normal. Of course! That's it! Austin's death must've sent him over the edge! I go to get in the back of the ambulance with Dez but a woman stops me, and she asks if I'm family. I semi-lie and say yes, cause I'm his closest "family" that isn't over 4 hours away. She reluctantly allows me in and the ride to the hospital, is thankfully not very long. At most 10 minutes, but it felt like eternity! Every minute that passed, Dez was closer and closer to losing his life. We finally reached the hospital, and they rush him to the E.R! I'm not allowed to go in, but it must not be good, because many different nurses were carrying in many pints of blood. After about 2 1/2 hours, a doctor asks for me and tells me that Dez is semi-stable and doesn't have a high chance of making it-but at the moment he's coherent. He tells me I should say my final goodbyes and that there was nothing else they could do. I am stunned. I just stand there-not believing what the Dr. just told me. NO! NO! He HAS to live! I can't lose another one! Especially since it's my fault! I rush to Dez's room, and as soon as I enter I am appalled at what I see. Dez had always been pale, but now he looks like the former shell of Dez. His eyes are all sunken in, I presume from the loss of blood, and he's like whiter than paper. It's hard to see him in that state, and it takes all I can do not to leave. But I can't because I could never forgive myself if Dez died and I never got to say goodbye. I also know someone else who wouldn't forgive me; namely his best friend, Austin. Dez's eyes are closed, so I don't know if he's sleeping or If I'm too late. I go over and sit by his bedside in a chair, and I grab his hand and I begin to pour my heart and soul into which I know-but do not want to admit-is my final goodbye to the goofy red-head. Dez, I don't know if you can hear me, but I hope you can. Cause what I say next is really important. I search his face for any sign of recognition of who's talking to him, but I find none. Ok, so here goes nothing. Dez, when I first met you I thought you were absolutely the most annoying, extremely crazy, and 100% most ridiculous person in the whole world! I was like what planet did this guy come from? But over time, I've grown to love your weird, but quirky personality. Even if you were better friends with Austin,and I was kinda like a minority in your priorities; I just want to say you were a huge influence on my life. You taught me to have more fun and life and live for now. You taught me never to be afraid of what other people think of me and to do what I want! You were always there to cheer me up, and even if you didn't know what to say-you still made me smile. I look at Dez's face again and I notice his mouth slightly curves upward. I hope wherever he is in his mind-he knows what I'm saying. Dez, you are like a big brother to me. You would protect me when people were mean to me and you would do weird things just to distract their attention away from me. I could tell you things I would never share with someone I didn't trust! You would always give me good advice and made it through many tough times when I told you about my personal problems! Anyway Dez, you were right. I do like Austin. I would never fully admit it, but you knew all along. After all, you are the Love Whisperer… Haha remember when no one believed you Dez? Hah, we had some good times over the years. Anyway, I really NEED you to live because I don't know what I'd do without you! So I love you Dez; please wake up soon I manage to choke out before I lose my voice all together.
Dez's P.O.V
"Ugh where am I? Oh right, I remember. Ally found me right before I was gonna die. Thanks a lot, Ally! I'm sorry, Austin. I really wanted to die so I could be with my best friend, but noooo... But I feel horrible! I forgot about this part, when your found out and then the pain returns. I feel really weak though, and I feel like I might faint. Maybe I'll die after all! :) But ugh, my eyes hurt too much to open them. I hear soft, faint footsteps grow louder and louder until I sense another prescence in the room. I feel someone sit down next to my bed, and grab my hand, and then I hear the all too familiar voice of Ally. I hear her say how much she needs me, and how much she is sorry. I listen until she starts weeping and I just can't take it anymore. I know the pain she's been through and I don't want her to be sad anymore. I call her name, and as she turns her face to me; I can see it's red and her eyes are puffy from crying. I hear her yell for the doctor and nurses, but I quickly pull her back down in her seat; so I can tell her something. "Ally, don't blame yourself." I say before I fall asleep forever.
Ally's P.O.V
"Once I hear Dez call my name; I am so excited! I thought everything was gonna be alright and that Dez would live. I yell for the doctors and nurses, shouting that Dez woke up, but I'm quickly pulled back down in my seat. I hear Dez trying to get my attention again and the last thing I hear him say, "Ally, don't blame yourself." At first, I'm confused. Why would I blame myself? He's gonna live and everything will be fine. But then I realize his hand had gone limp in mine and he was growing increasingly colder. The doctor and his nurses rush in, and the last I remember is hearing the doctor saying,"He's gone."
