DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin & Ally, nor am I associated with Austin & Ally.
I sit beside the hospital bed, my cheeks tearstained. Ally lays in the bed in front of me, slightly unrecognizable... But alive, and I couldn't ask for more than that. Her head is wrapped in a bandage and she's got all kinds of tubes plugged into her that are attached to beeping machines. Trish and Dez are out in the waiting room, because it's my turn to visit. She's been in here about three days now, and she hasn't woken up, but the doctors say that's expected. Yet, every time I come in I can't help but cry and pray she wakes up.
If I had just realized five seconds sooner what was happening she wouldn't be like she is right now. It all seemed to click when I saw the look in her eyes and she insisted on opening the door. That must of been how I died in her dream. I opened the door and got shot by Darron. I don't know why she couldn't have just let it be me again. She's braver than I would have ever thought. However, she isn't dead... Maybe this was supposed to happen, as much as I absolutely hate to admit it. The memory won't stop playing in my head.
"Ally!" I half yelled, half choke. It's too late. Darron's already in front of her, and I can't get to him on time. I can't watch as there's a bang and Ally crumples to the floor, I dive straight for Darron. I tackle him to the hallway floor and punch him across the face. I feel his nose break, and he howls in pain.
"Damn you!" I shout, grasping his throat. I'm seconds away from nearly strangling him to death when I realize my girlfriend is bleeding to death behind me, unconscious. I scramble off of Darron, and he gasps for breath, the blood from his nose gargling in his throat. Dez is already beside Ally, bending over her with this look of utmost terror in his eyes as if he has no idea what to do. I don't blame him. I sprint into the dorm and nearly drop my phone from trying to dial 911 so fast.
Of course Darron ran but the cops caught him straight away, and Ally made it to the hospital. I haven't been back to my dorm since then, I'm too afraid there's still blood or some sort of evidence of the event. Dez insists there isn't but I'm not taking any chances.
I'm knocked out of my thoughts by a single movement, out of the corner of my eyes: Ally's finger twitches. I nearly fall out of the chair, scrambling across to reach her. Please wake up, I beg, please wake up...
And she does.
I gasp for air as her eyes flutter open, I'm ecstatic as I realize that I'm the first person she's going to see since the accident. I need to apologize for this, because I feel like it's my fault. I grasp her hand, and she blinks at me.
"Ally, I'm so sorry, for this, for all of it... I should have realized... I put the pieces together... I know what happened" I'm stumbling for words, and she cuts me off.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She says simply, and I scowl. She's looking at me with this look of absolute confusion. Her eyebrows are scrunched together and she brings a hand lightly to the bandaged side of her head before flinching and bringing it back to her side, where she flexes her fingers.
"Ally, I'm serious, please just let me take the blame for this one. I should have been shot, I should be in your place right now, I..." I watch at her hand travels back to the bandages on her head, and she cringes before glancing at me again, as if looking for some sort of explanation. I'm trying to explain, can't she see that?
"Who's Ally?" She says, and I grin. She's trying to mess with me.
"You are, babe." I laugh, and her expression doesn't change.
"Wait, I got shot, right? That's what happened to my head?" She says, and I frown, nodding. Isn't it kind of obvious at this point? She runs a hand over her face, her eyes are tired and I think she wants to go back to sleep. I'm about to leave her be and go tell Dez and Trish and the doctor when I hear her voice again. "Who are you, again?"
I really wish she'd stop messing around, this isn't funny anymore. "It's me, Austin? Your boyfriend? Love of your life that you chased down? Came all the way from New York City?"
She closes her eyes and shakes her head. "I don't know you."
I begin to panic. "Yes you do, Ally."
"No, I don't." She insists.
My throat starts to close and my world begins to spin. This can't be happening. "You have to know me... You... You..." I'm out of words, and I leave the room without giving her an explanation before I begin to cry. Not that she needs an explanation, she doesn't even know who I am.
I pass Dez in the hall as the tears fall, and he stares after me and calls my name, sounding panicked. He probably thinks something is wrong with Ally, because I hear him begin to run towards the room. He'll find out soon.
I wonder, as I start up the car, why the Universe keeps playing these sick jokes on Ally and I. It seems that we'll never find peace in our relationship, and this is the biggest roadblock we've ever hit. I decide, as I begin driving to an unknown destination, that I'm going to make it my goal to fix this. Ally has been through Hell and back to make sure that we were where we needed to be, she left her college, she broke up with her boyfriend, and the most amazing of them all, she changed me. Me, Austin Moon.
I punch the steering wheel as I realize just how hard this is going to be, and I wish, yet again, that everything could just go smoothly for once. But I will fix this. I will stop at nothing to save Ally's love for me. There has to be a way.
There has to.
