Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally.
Hey guys, I know that you guys have been really looking forward to this chapter because last chapter ended in a big drama.. But I promise this chapter will be awesome! This is actually the first time I'm doing Austin's POV in this story so it should be interesting. Hope you'll like it. Please review!
Austin's POV
I was making my way in the hall through the crowd. I was looking for Ally. I couldn't find her anywhere! I mean, it's lunch time and she hasn't shown up. What is going on?! Something is not right. She would never miss a day of school. She may act like she doesn't care but she also sort of a geek... If she could hear me right now she'd kill me.
I looked at the girls that stared at me as I walked. I could hear what they were thinking. Their thoughts should be flattering. But all I can think of right now is I wish Ally would be here. She is the only girl I can't read. I don't know why. Let me explain to you how it works. I can't actually hear what other people think. I can only hear their thoughts if it's related to me. I can't just dig in their head and listen to whatever is going on in there. The only thoughts I could hear are if they're thinking of me. I know it's sounds freaky and weird, but I was born like that.
School was over and I rushed to my car. I drove to Ally's house and saw that no car was in the driveway. It looked suspicious. I got out of my car and went to the door. I knocked but there was no answer. I tried to hear something but I didn't hear anyone breathing. I also can feel people. It's one of my talents I was born with. Once I was sure there was nothing I moved away from the door, pulled my phone out and called Ally. She didn't answer me. What's going on?! I mean, I don't expect her to answer right away, but she never totally blow me off like this. When I went to my car I saw Ally's neighbor coming out of his house. "Hey!" I said running towards him. He scanned me from head to toe. Like he was examining if I was worthy of wasting his time. "What?" He asked. "Do you know if anything happened at the Dawsons?" I asked nervously. He paused like he was considering whether telling me something or not. I could hear his thoughts. He didn't trusted me completely. But I couldn't hear what he didn't wanna tell me. Damn it. "I saw Lester's daughter limping while he helped her walk. He told me they went to the hospital. " I shivered. Something happened to Ally?! But what? How? I said a quick "Thanks" and ran to my car.
I was driving to the hospital. I was so worried and nervous. What happened to Ally?! After 15 minutes ride I was there. I parked my car and walked into the building. I went to the secretary behind the counter and asked her:"Excuse me, Can you please tell me in what room Ally Dawson is?" She looked at me and smiled. She thought I was sweet. "Amm.. What is your relationship with Ally, honey?" Visitors hours were over. Now only family members were allowed to visit. "Amm.. I'm a.." What am I to Ally really? What are we? I don't know. And this is not the time and place to do this. "I'm a really close friend. Could you please let me in? I know visitors hours are over, but I really need to see her. " I looked at her sincerely and I bought her. I smiled mentally to myself once I heard her thoughts. She is gonna let me in. She finds me handsome but I'm to young for her. Ha!
"You can go." She said with a smile. Just as I expected. "Thank you." I said and smiled at her making her melt. There are a lot of advantages in my talent. To bad non of them work on Ally. The only one I really want them to work on. "She is in room 17" I nodded and made my way to Ally's room. When I got there I stood still on the door way. What am I gonna say when I'll see her? What will I do? Ally hates being this vulnerable and I'm sure she doesn't want me to see her like that. But I just have to see her.
Ally's POV
After I woke up and saw the scratch I felt myself rumbling. This can be true. This dream was real?! But how can it be?! I didn't get out of bed! The scratch really started to hurt. I cried in pain. My dad walked in and saw me lying on the floor. "Ally! What happened?!" He said panicking. "I'm calling an ambulance!" He said and he was about to go to the phone. "No!" I shouted. Do you even understand what it's like being taken by an ambulance to the hospital?! It means the entire neighborhood knows about it and all of the neighbors staring at you with pity. it's humiliating. I hate that. It happened to me once when I was involved in a car accident and I was so embarrassed so I swore to myself that I would never get into an ambulance again. My dad looked at me in a questing look. "That's ok dad. You can drive me there. It's not that bad." My dad knew I hated ambulances so he nodded and helped me get up. He took me to the car. When I got into the car I saw our neighbor, Mr. Cole walking on the sidewalk. Well, isn't that just great? Mr. Cole asked my dad what happened. My dad said shortly that he was taking me to the hospital and got in the car and we drove off. When we got into the hospital, in the first second the nurse saw me she told someone to take me to the emergency room. I hate hospitals. It has this horrible vibe. Like it was a death vibe. I was so close to death multiple times so I know what it's like. Your entire body go numb and you don't have to will to fight any more. A doctor came in and examine my foot. "Hey Ally, I'm doctor Davis. Could you please tell me how did you get that scratch?" He looked at me and smiled to calm me down which did the opposite. How the hell am I suppose to tell him what happened?! "Amm... I don't.. I don't know." I said my voice's shaking. "Ok.." He said looking at me in disbelief. "Do you remember falling after getting that?" He asked because he wanna know if I hit my head. That could have cause a miner memory lost. This is my way out. Now I'm so happy I've read all of this anatomy books. "Amm.." I looked to the side like I was trying to remember. "I think so.. I woke up and I was on the ground." I need to get in touch with my dad so he could cover my story. Doctor Davis nodded and wrote something in his paper. "Ok. We need to anesthetize the area." He told to the nurse that was next to him. "Amm.. When you're doing that, Am I gonna be unconsciousness?" I asked nervously. I wanna see what they are doing to me. The doctor looked at me for a while and then said:"Well that depends, are you afraid of needles?" He smiled after that. I gulped. I was terrified. But I'm not gonna let that stop me. "No." I said and did my best so my voice wouldn't shake. It worked. The doctor nodded and the nurse gave him the anesthetic. I gulped again. He gave me the anesthetic and after a few minutes I felt my leg go numb. "Give me Antiseptic" Doctor David said and started to clean the blood off my leg. Then I saw the scratch. It was big and deep. The doctor gave me something like 15 stitches until he put a bandage on my leg. When he was done he smiled and said:"Well Ally, have a quick recovery." I thanked him and the nurse took me to a room. The nurse put a needle in my arm. I winched and she said:"Sorry honey, I know it's not comfortable... But it's for your own good." I nodded weakly. She gave me morphine. It's so I wouldn't feel the pain. But it also makes me fall asleep. I hate that. My dad walked in and smiled at me. I told him what I told to the doctor. My dad said that he would cover for me. I thanked him. Then he asked:"Wait Ally, how did it really happen?" I looked at him and said:"I don't know." And that's when the drags pulled me to sleep.
When I woke up I saw that my dad left. There was a note on my bed that said he went to bring me some new cloths. I sighed and then smiled. That's when I saw someone standing in the door way. No. This can't be. Please let me be wrong. "Hey" Austin said and smiled at me. I didn't move or answer. "Can I come in?" He asked after he saw that I didn't respond. I nodded weakly, unable to speak. He came in and stand next to my bed. He looked at me worried and then he looked at my leg. "What happened?" He asked. I looked at him still shocked but managed to get out:"What are you doing here?" He looked at me surprised. Like it was oblivious that he needs to come to the hospital and watch me being helpless. "I didn't see you today at school, so I went to your house. You weren't there so I asked your neighbor where were you and he said you went to the hospital. So I came here." He looked at me, gazing at my face when he finished. I looked away not being able to stare at him for long without doing something I would regret. "Amm..ok. Well, it's noting. I'm ok. You can go now." I said stiffly still looking away. Suddenly I felt his finger on my chin. He turned my face so I would have to look at him. I did and he asked me:"What happened? Please Ally. Tell me." I looked at him and said:"Fine. I'll tell you. But you have to go by the ground rules I've planted for you." He nodded and let my face go and took a step back. To be honest I liked when he was close to me. But I would never admit that.
"I tripped and fell, I got a scratch in my leg. It was deep so I needed a lot of stitches. But I'm ok now." I said looking away. Austin didn't say anything so I looked at him. He was kinda pale. "What?! How did that happen?!" He asked panicking. "Oh god! Relax ok! It was noting! I can't remember any way.. I hit my head and I've had a memory lost." Not even a big hit on my head can make this nightmare any less vivid to me than it is now. Austin looked at me worried and I felt bad. Damn it. Why is he so annoying?! Why does he care anyway?!
"Ally, listen, if you need anything please tell me. I'll do anything for you." He said taking my hand in his as he said it. He was breaking the rules again but I didn't care. I felt the fire in my veins again. When he saw that I didn't pull back he intertwined our fingers. I looked at our hands then back at his face. He smiled at me. He leaned in and I stopped breathing. His lips were against mine and just when I thought he would kiss me he pulled away and kissed my forehead. I tried my best not to show my disappointment. When did I become so needy of his touch?! He smirked at me. I took my hand out of his and said:"Noted. Now leave." He smiled widely and said:"Yay! Same old Ally's back." I rolled my eyes. He looked at me and whispered in my ear:"Are you sure you don't want that kiss? It looked like you really wanted it." This guy! Even though he annoys me so much I still feel the butterflies in my stomach. Damn him. I'm a stupid teenage girl now because of him?! No way! I put my lips in his ear and said:"Never." Then I put my hands on his chest and pulled him away. He had his cocky smile on. I giggled a little. "When are you coming back to school?" He asked. "As soon as I can walk without limping. I don't wanna grab attention because of this stupid wound." Austin looked at me and nodded. "Ok then, See you tomorrow." He got up and was about to leave. "Wow! Wait! Tomorrow?" I asked confused. "Yeah." He said smiling. "I'm gonna come visit again." He said still smiling. "Please don't." I said. He laughed and said:"Well, you do know that's only gonna make me wanna come even more." I growled and he said:"That's ok. It Friday tomorrow. The weekend is starting. We don't have school and you can practice your walking." He said smirking. I rolled my eyes which made him giggle. He looked at me sincerely and said:"Well, goodbye Ally." I didn't move or answer. He smiled and went.
I fell on my pillows and looked at the ceiling. That's when doctor Davis came in. He examined my leg and said:"Well, Ally, it's seems like your wound is healing. Tomorrow evening you'll be able to go home." I nodded and said:"Thank you doctor." He nodded and exited. A nurse came in and switched my bandage. "Are you feeling better,hun?" She asked. "Much." I said smiling. She smiled and said:"Is it because that handsome friend of yours that visited you earlier?" I blushed like crazy and said:"Amm.. Maybe.." She smiled again and said:"Well, get some sleep." Then she left. I stared at the ceiling again and thought. Austin did made me feel better. But, ever since that dream, I don't know what to think. I mean, this can't be a coincidence. Not after what I saw in the woods. Something is different about Austin. And I'm gonna figure out what it is.
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subside.*That's why I don't believe in love. It's so changing. So unexpected. It's tiring. It almost always never last. So why bother?
I know I'm not an expert in love but maybe because I'm such an outsider I can see it more clearly.. It doesn't matter. I don't know what is the deal with Austin. Sure he makes me feel weird. But it's not love. It can't be. Any way, I don't have time for figuring out my feeling. From now on I need to focus on healing and figuring out what exactly is Austin.
Ok you guys, I hope you liked it. I spent this entire Friday writing for you. (In my country it's almost evening.. Haha..) But it was totally worth it. I hoped you guys enjoyed. Please tell me your favorite parts and review please!
