Austin pov
When we got home, I started to clean up Ally.
There's no telling what he did to her.
Ross paced in front of Tabitha.
"How are you alive?" he asked, "We saw you die. How?"
Tabitha sifted.
"I-I don't know. I woke up and he was there. He would come and beat me. Sometimes he'd have others that he killed in there..."
I looked down at the floor.
He was supposed to be gone.
Out of our lives.
I excused myself to take Ally upstairs.
She looked so pale.
Lifeless.
I laid her on my bed and sat there.
Thinking back to when we first met.
Everything seemed perfect.
But now...
"Austin?"
My head snapped over to Ally.
Her eyes were red and puffy and her voice was harsh.
I pulled her into a hug.
"I'm so sorry Ally. This is all my fault. If I hadn't ignored you for so long Jo-he wouldn't have been able to do this to you. I don't know what I would have done without you. "
She looked at me.
" I-I thought you hated me?"
I looked down then back at her.
Next thing I knew I was kissing her.
