Chapter 13
Austin's POV
I opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was a coffee table that wasn't mine. I sat up slowly and looked around. And I was in a living room that wasn't mine. I was utterly confused. Then I smelled something. It smelled like food. I stand up and follow to scent of course into the kitchen. A girl with dark brown hair was standing in front of a oven flipping pancakes over on to a plate. She turns around and smiles at me. I sit down at the island, the big huge thing in the middle of kitchen that you can sit at. She sits the plate in front of me with a fork.
I stared at her trying to remember who she was and where I was.
She coughed, "Um, are you okay?" She asks.
I nod and start eating.
After I got food in to me and my brain started working properly, memories from last night flooded my brain.
Phone Calls
Trish yelling
Mr. Dawson
The hotel
Ally
ALLY!
"Alexis, has anyone called about Ally yet?" I ask.
She shakes her head. "No, not yet. But I was wondering can you take me back later?" She was looking down at her food.
"Um, sure."
She smiles. "Okay. So after we eat?"
I nod.
"Oh by the way," She says. She hands me my phone. "Your phone kept ringing and it was kinda bothering me. So I answered it. It was your mother, she asked if you were okay. I told her yes and about what happened with Ally. She told me to tell you to call her when you woke up and that to keep her updated about Ally."
I nod. "Okay, thanks."

The car ride over to the hospital was quiet other than the mix CD that Alexis put in. To my surprise it wasn't Taylor Swift. The playlist consisted of the bands:
Forever the Sickest Kids
A Day to Remember
For All Those Sleeping
Three Days Grace
Secondhand Serenade
(A/N - I love all this bands!)
I pulled into a parking spot and cut off the car. We both sat there for a second. Alexis took a deep breath and got out, she started walking towards the front doors. I looked around in the car...I just realized I've been driving Mr. Dawson's car. I guess he trusts me. I started thinking about how he could possibly be a drunk. Curiosity took over me and I started searching the car for evidence.
All I found was a pack of cigarettes and a match box. I sighed and decided to go in.

Trish, Mr. Dawson and Alexis were talking when I walked in.
Trish came up to me.
"Austin, you and Alexis need to stay here while Mr. Dawson and I go."
"Why do you have to go?" I ask.
"Well Mr. Dawson needs to go to work, of course. And I need to take a shower and go to school."
I look at her weird for a second. "You don't like school. This is a perfect reason not to go."
She nods, "I know. But I have to get Ally's homework and all that stuff. She doesn't like being behind in school work."
I sigh and nod. "Yeah, okay."
She smiles. "Thanks, come on Mr. Dawson you can drop me off at my house." She walks out the door.
Mr. Dawson passes me and says thank you, then exits the room.
I look back at Alexis.
"I guess it's just you and me again." She says.
I shrug. "I guess it is."

It was three hours later and all we have done was watch TV and talked. Ally was still laying in the bed not talking, not moving, just sleeping.
I looked at my phone, it was 5: 24 pm. I slept in really late I guess.
Alexis stands up and stretches. "Are you hungry?" She asks.
I nod. "A little bit."
"Cool, I saw a vending machine down the hall when I was coming up." She stands there for a second and checking her pockets. She sighs. "I have no money." She says sadly.
I pull my wallet from my pocket. "I have some money in here."
She takes it. "Really?" She smiles.
"Go crazy," I say.
She nods and runs out the door.
I now have the feeling I shouldn't have done that.
I look over at Ally. A little bit more color had come back to her cheeks, she didn't look as pale. I scoot my chair closer to her and grab her hand.
"Hey Ally," I whisper. "It's me, Austin. Your cousin Alexis seems nice. She's not annoying as you said she is though. She really cares about you too." I stare at her face. Her motionless face. "Ally, you need to wake up. And when you do you need to remember who did this to you, who… raped you. I want this guy behind bars." I turn my head away for a second.
Okay I saw this in a movie once and it worked.
"Ally if you can hear me squeeze my hand." I say.
I waited for a second nothing…movies are officially stupid. Why did I even try this?
I heard a knock on the door. I was about to pull my hand away but I felt her hand tighten around mine. I looked at our hands a little in shock. I pulled my hand away.
The person that came in was the doctor.

The doctor did a couple of things, like changed liquid filled bags that was attached to her. After he left Alexis came in.
Her arms were full of bags; she dropped in all on a table. "I didn't know what you liked so I got everything that I thought you'd like."
I stand up and walk to the pile of food. "Why is most of it just Sour Patch Kids?"
"I like them." She says.
She hands me my wallet. It was feels a little lighter. I shake my head and put it in my pocket. I grab a bag of Hot Fries and sit back in my seat.

Alexis had gotten tired of staying in the room all day so around ten that night she decided that she would walk around the hospital to get some exercise.
When she was finally gone I scooted closer to Ally, I stared at her face. Don't judge me.
I realized how much I missed hearing her talk.
I lay my head down on the bed for a second, a few minutes later I fell asleep.

Ally's POV
The first thing I heard was a faint beeping sound. I open my eyes; the room I was in was incredibly bright. I closed my eyes again the opened them. I looked around the room; it was white with black furniture. It reminded me of a hospital room. I try to sit up but pain went through my torso, so I stayed the way I was.
I look down at my body. My arm had a cast around it and my ankle hurt like hell.
I turned my head a little. A wave of blonde hair was on the bed. I sit there for a second trying to remember if I knew someone with blonde hair.
I poke the head. "Austin,"
Nothing
I poke again. "Austin,"
He moves a little and sits up and looks at me. He looked confused for a second. "Ally?"
I nodded. "Um, yeah."
He smiles. "Ally!"
He reaches to hug me but doesn't.
"What? Am I not good enough to hug?"
He shakes his head. "No, not that. It's just you have two broken ribs."
"Oh," I say looking down. "Well then you shouldn't hug me then."
I was going to say something else. But he took my head in his hands and brought me to his face.
He kissed me passionately and hard a little.
I smiled into the kiss. He pulls away and sits down.
"That was a little unexpected." I say.
"Sorry, I just missed you."
"How long was I out?"
"For about a day or two,"
I nod.
"Ally, do you remember anything about why you are in here?"
Memories flashed around in my head
Falling
Screaming
Crying
Wishing I wouldn't die
"Ally?"
I looked at him and didn't say anything. But tears started to swell up in my eyes.
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Things have been really messed up.
Anyway I pushed through because I knew you guys wanted another chapter.
I hope you like it and please review so I know to continue.
