Ok, here's chapter 3 I'm not sure how good it is, but please review and enjoy it.
Chapter 3
Ally's POV
Where am I, a minute ago I was sitting at the piano, then everything went dark, why is Austin crying, what is Selia doing here, she's crying also. I turn around and see a girl who looks exactly like me, except she looks as pale as a ghost. I gasp that isn't a girl that looks like me that is me, am I dead, no my heart rate is still beating, it says so on the monitor. God I'm tired, I sit down and close my eyes, I wonder why I'm here.
Austin's POV
I think I dosed off, I was having the worst dream in history, Ally was in a coma, that she might not wake up from and I was in the hospital. I look around and I realise it wasn't a dream, I see Selia fast asleep, I wasn't surprised, she flew all the way from Wales and refused to go to sleep, she must have fallen asleep, sometime during the night. I look at Ally, she looks so peaceful and innocent, she looks like she's sleeping, but really she's in a coma. I hear the door open, and see Penny and Lester Dawson come in, I stand up to leave.
"Austin, you don't have to go," Mrs Dawson tells me, but I just shake my head.
"You and Mr Dawson, need some alone time with Ally, its wrong for me to sit in on it, she needs you right now," I turn to leave, but Mrs Dawson stops me.
"She needs, you to Austin, more than you know," I smile a small smile at Mrs Dawson
"She needs her family right now, but I'll come to visit her every day, before and after school," then I turn to leave before Mrs Dawson can say anything else otherwise I may never leave, and they need their time with Ally alone. I'm walking through the hospital, when the realisation dawned on me Ally may never wake up, the walls began to close in and I run, run out the hospital, run across the road and run all the way home, when I get to my bedroom I start punching my pillow, taking all my frustration out on it, my frustration that Ally might never wake up, my frustration that I didn't notice Ally was ill and my frustration for my feelings for Ally. After about 15 minutes I stop punching my pillow, and instead I start to cry, and I fell asleep.
Ally's POV
Ok, I'm not in the hospital anymore, I'm in Austin's bedroom, and he's punching a pillow, I wonder why? I sit down at the edge of his bed and watch him. Austin eventually stops punching his pillow, instead he begins to cry, I'm gobsmacked I never see Austin cry especially not this much, after a minute or so I hear him snoring and I stand up and move to sit next to him , I look at him, he looks a lot younger when he's asleep, I smile, he is seriously cute. I begin to stroke his cheek and sing a lullaby my mom, used to sing to me.
Love is what gives life its beauty
Love sees and frees who we are truly
Love starts in our hearts and spreads forever
Love can heal and make us better
Could we all give a little more love
Could we be the world we've dreamed of
Love brings us wings and sings us flying
Love shines warm and kind when someone's crying
Love knows and grows when we are willing
Love is what gives life its meaning
Could we all give a little more love
Could we be the world we've dreamed of
Could we all give a little more love
Could we be the world we've dreamed of (1)
I continue to stroke his cheek and I giggle slightly when he tries to bat it away, I kiss him on the cheek and say "Bye Austin" and I'm about to get up to leave when, Austin sits bolt upright, and stares in my direction, I look at him shocked, and I'm even more shocked when he says "Ally".
Austin's POV
"Ally" I look around the room, and see nothing, I lie back down, I must of imagined it, but I swear I, could hear her singing, and I'm certain, I heard her say bye, I must be going nuts, but now I miss Ally even more, don't cry Austin, crying won't wake her up.
"Austin," I sigh
"Yeah, mom,"
"There's a girl, here to see you," I groan
"Mom, I don't want to see anyone, tell her I'm sick." I'm about to shut the door when I hear footsteps run up the stairs, and I see Selia.
My mom calls up, "Sorry Austin, she ran past me,"
"Its ok mom, it's Ally's cousin," I look at Selia.
"What is it Selia?" I ask wearily
"Nothing, it's just Dez and Trish saw you run out of the hospital, and I was wondering if you were ok." Selia replies, her voice as weary as my own.
"Oh, sorry about that, it just suddenly dawned on me that Ally might not wake up" I sit down on the bed, and I didn't even realise that tears were falling down my face till Selia sat next to me and started rubbing my back and saying shhh, shhh, like I was a baby.
In her reassuring British accent she says "Austin, there is every chance Ally is going to wake up, she is a strong, independent girl, who loves us and wouldn't dare leave us, if it wasn't her time and trust me it isn't her time, she will fight this, ok"
"Yeah, your right. Selia, I know it's an odd question to ask at a time like this, but I've known you for a year, but I actually don't know your age, you know mine, but I don't know yours, so how old are you?"
"You're right it is an odd question to ask at a time like this, but I'll answer it anyway, I'm 15 years old," I stare at her in shock.
"Are you serious, I've always thought you were 20 or something, because of the way you act and all," She laughs sadly.
"Yeah, I've always acted older than I am, it helps at a time like this, when other people need me. Anyway, now that we have that settled, why don't you put some clean clothes on, and we'll go back to the hospital. Deal,"
I give her a small, but reassuring smile, "Deal"
"Good, I'll wait downstairs for you ok"
"Yeah," I watch her leave, I still couldn't believe she is 15, but I forget about that for later. I change into a clean white shirt, black ripped jeans and my red jacket, and go downstairs to see Selia and go to the hospital together.
(1) This isn't my own lullaby but I wish it was I found it on the internet and I thought it fit the theme, and it also shows Ally's feelings through the lullaby.
