Austin's POV

I am currently sitting next to Ally's hospital bed. She looks pale. She looks hurt. She looks...

Dead.

I don't want Ally to die. She's my partner, my best friend. I need her.

"You'll be okay," I whisper into her ear, "I promise."

Ally of course doesn't reply so I grab her hand and squeeze it like they do in those romance movies. She doesn't squeeze back either.

"Ally!" I cry, "Please?"

There is a shuffling sound and I hear the door creak open.

"Austin?"

"Ally!" I say before mentally slapping myself. Ally is right here next to me, unconscious. I turn around to see Dez standing behind me.

"Oh. Hey Dez," I smile sadly.

"Hey Austin. Why are you so sad?"

I look at Dez but don't say anything. Instead I turn back to Ally. She is breathing so quietly it sounds like a soft lullaby. Dez stays in the room for a few extra minutes before leaving, probably to go bug Trish or something.

I sit by Ally for a really long time until Trish finally comes into the room with a bagel for me. I don't realize how hungry I am until I take a large bite. It's blueberry. My mind slowly starts to drift off.

"Austin?"

I turn back to the door expecting to see Dez standing behind me with one of his gingerbread people but no one's there. I turn back to Ally. Could it be..?

"Austin?" the voice is so quiet that it's almost nonexistent.

"Ally?" I ask.

She coughs and her eyes slowly blink open. "Austin?" she asks again, her voice low and raspy, "am I dead yet?"

"Ally!" I grin, ignoring her question. I reach over to hug her, only to hear her scream.

At first I thought I was hugging her too tight but after I let go and I see that she is still screaming my thoughts begin to change. Ally looks like she is having a seizure. She is shaking and screaming and her face has gone completely red. I am totally freaked out.

Suddenly it all stops. Her face goes back to normal and her eyes begin to droop. "Austin," she whispers before falling back into the hospital bed. I listen to her quietly gasp for air until everything stops. Even her heartbeat.

"Ally!" I scream, "DOCTOR!"
