I don't own Austin and Ally
Ally's POV
I'm freaking out right now. I have no clue what's going on! I do know that the cops went to the school though. Dr. Murphy heard our conversation and told the police, which I'm grateful for now. I just wish there was more I could do instead of just sitting here waiting to hear what's happening in this life or death situation for my friends and daughter.
"Ally!", Dr. Murphy said rushing in my room. "They found Ella and your friend! Everyone is on their way here to get checked out!", he exclaimed and I hugged him tightly.
"Thank goodness. Is everyone alright?", I asked.
"They said everyone was pretty beaten up, but only one person was shot. They haven't told us who, but we do know for a fact that it wasn't Ella", he said.
"SHOT!", I asked extremely worried for all my friends now. He didn't get the chance to respond, because the door flew open.
"MOMMY!", Ella yelled running over to me and jumping on the bed. I've never been happier to see her in my life.
"ELLA! Oh baby, are you okay!?", I asked. That's when Trish, Dez, and Maddie walked in…without Austin.
"Mommy, it was so scary! The mean lady made me call her Mom, and then she shot Daddy!", Ella cried burying her little face in my chest as she cried harder. WHAT!? Did she say Austin was shot!? I looked up at my three friends who just nodded with tears in all of their eyes. My poor baby had to watch her own daddy get shot!
"Ella, I know you want to see your Mommy right now, but we need to get you looked at. You can come back when we're done", Dr. Murphy said. Ella looked over at me with fear in her eyes.
"It's okay baby. Go with Dr. Murphy. He's a very nice man who's going to get you all fixed up", I said. She nodded and left with Dr. Murphy, leaving me with my three friends.
"Ally, are you okay?", Trish asked sitting by me. I noticed that she had blood stains all over her clothes and hands.
"Who shot him", I asked still a bit in shock.
"Samantha did, but now she, Tina, Max, and Elliot are all going to jail", Maddie said.
"ELLIOT!? My brother Elliot!?", I asked. They all nodded. "My own brother helped her kidnap my daughter!?"
"Yes, but after he saw that video of you singing 'Tell Me Why', and Austin explained everything to him, he was on our side and helped us. He actually saved Dez from being shot too", Trish said. Dez nodded.
"And Dez jumped in front of the gun to save me", Maddie added.
"Maddie took Ella away, so she saved her", Dez said and they all started saying random things everyone did there, and I couldn't understand one bit of it.
"Whoa, slow down. I want the entire story in the right order, and please tell me one at a time", I said and they began to explain everything to me. They nearly worked Ella to death for five hours! Austin took a bullet to save my little girl! Our little girl.
"Well guys, I should probably get checked out, then head back to the orphanage", Maddie said and was about to leave. WHAT!?
"No Maddie, you can't go back there. You can live with one of us", Dez said.
"But what about all the other kids at the orphanage?", Maddie asked.
"Maddie, don't worry about them. The police are getting them a new, better caretaker", Dez assured her.
"Well, I can work there", Maddie declared.
"Sorry, but you have to be at least eighteen", Trish said.
"Then I guess I can work there, because today's my eighteenth birthday", she said.
"What!? Maddie, why didn't you say anything before?", I asked.
"We were busy", she replied simply. That brought back memories of how horrible I felt on my eighteenth birthday, but at least I got Ella. Maddie's birthday's been all bad so far. No one deserves that.
"Oh, what do you want? I'll buy you anything", Dez cried.
"Thanks Dez, but I don't want anything. Just knowing that Ella's safe is a great birthday present. I just hope Austin's okay. That's all I want. Besides, I've never gotten anything for my birthday before, so why start now?", she said like it was nothing. Poor girl.
"Ally, your daughter's fine. She's in her room asleep right now. She had a few cuts, bruises, and a broken arm, but that's as far as her physical injuries go. Also, your fiancé is out of surgery so you can go visit him. I would like to check you three out now though", Dr. Murphy said gesturing for Trish, Dez, and Maddie to follow him. As soon as they all left, I got up and went to visit Austin. 'He's been through so much…because of me. I don't deserve an awesome guy like him. And I definitely don't deserve to be a mother when my past came back to take my little girl away from me', I thought.
"Ally…don't say such horrible things about yourself. You're so worth it." Did I say that out loud? Wait…AUSTIN!
"Austin! You're okay!", I exclaimed hugging him. He's okay!
Austin's POV
I wake up in the hospital, only to hear Ally going on and on about how she doesn't deserve me, or to be a mother. That's crazy! She deserves more than this world can offer. She realized I was awake, and hugged me tightly. It honestly hurt like crap causing me to wince slightly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry", she said pulling away.
"Oh no, you're not getting away that easily", I said pulling her back to me. I don't care if it hurt. It hurts more not having her with me.
"Austin, you are so amazing", she said.
"How?", I asked. I'm a superstar. Does she honestly want to make my ego any bigger?
"How? Austin, you took a bullet to save my little girl."
"Our little girl, and I would die for you or her any day", I said honestly, then I remembered something.
"Where's Ella?", I asked beginning to panic.
"She's fine. She's asleep in her room a few doors down. She has a few cuts and bruises, and a broken arm, but that's it", Ally assured me.
"What about Trish, Dez, and Maddie? I don't know what happened after I got shot", I said.
"They're all fine. After you were shot, Samantha held the gun to Maddie, but Dez jumped in front of it, and fought her for it. Maddie then got Ella and ran to a spare classroom, while Trish stayed with you making sure you didn't bleed out. Dez said that Elliot got the gun and held it to Samantha after pushing Dez out of the way, and that's when the police showed up", she explained.
"So, Dez saved Maddie, who saved Ella, while Trish was saving me, and Elliot saved Dez?", I asked trying to get the story straight. She nodded. "So you know about Elliot?"
"Yeah, but he came through in the end. I don't forgive him for everything yet, but at least I know that he's still the same brother I remember and loved deep down", she said.
"So, have you heard anything about my parents?", I asked remembering that I had brought them both here unconscious.
"Dr. Murphy said they should be fine, and are expected to wake up soon", she said.
"So everything's good now?", I asked.
"Well, there's still the emotional damage. Ella's so young to have gone through and witnessed all of that. And if you think about it, so is Maddie. The worst part is that it turns out to be Maddie's eighteenth birthday today", Ally said sadly.
"Poor kid. I'll make sure to buy her whatever she wants", I said feeling sorry for her.
"She said it was great just knowing Ella was okay, and she only wanted you to be okay as well. Then she said she never got a birthday present before, and didn't figure it was any use to start now", Ally said starting to tear up at the end.
"Now I'm definitely getting her something", I concluded.
"Well, she does want to work at the orphanage, but I think she'd like to live someplace else", Ally said.
"She can live with me and Dez if she wants. Me, you, and Ella are going to be moving into a house after the wedding, right?", I asked. She looked up surprised.
"Y-you still want to marry me after all you just went through because of me?, she asked. WHAT!?
"Is that what you're so worried about? I went through all of that because I love you. I always have and always will love you and our daughter more than anything else in this world. Nothing's ever going to change that. As long as you still want to marry me, I'll be there", I said honestly making her smile. I'd do anything to keep that beautiful smile on her face.
"Thank goodness", she said and kissed me. I then let her lay with me on the hospital bed. That's when the door swung open.
"DADDY! YOU'RE OKAY!", Ella exclaimed jumping on the bed hugging me tightly.
"Of course I am Sunshine. I wasn't ready to leave you", I said making her giggle. Then I noticed a yellow cast on her arm. "And I see you have my favorite color on your cast."
"I love yellow too! Yellow and pink are my favorite colors", she said. Of course she loves pink. What five year old little girl wouldn't?
"Austin!", a chorus of three exclaimed from the doorway.
"Hey guys-wait. Trish, why are you covered in blood!?", I asked horrified.
"It's your blood genius. Speaking of, you owe me a new outfit…but I am glad you're okay", she said. I smiled. Same old Trish.
"Same goes for you", I said honestly. She was the one that was kidnapped after all.
"Was it true?", Ella asked out of nowhere.
"Was what true baby?", Ally asked
"What the mean lady said about her being my real mom, and that Elliot guy being my real daddy? They said he's your brother, and you're my aunt that adopted me. Is all of that true, and please don't lie to me?", Ella asked. Ally sighed looking down.
"Yes sweetheart, it is. But that doesn't matter. I still love you so much", Ally said with tears pricking her eyes.
"I know that, and I love you too. You're always going to be my real Mommy no matter what; not her. I would never want that to change", Ella said hugging her. Ally was literally balling at this point.
"I'm so glad you feel that way baby. You always have been and always will be my daughter, and only my daughter", Ally said.
"What about me?", I asked faking offense to lighten the mood.
"Yeah Mommy, can't I be Daddy's daughter too?", Ella asked.
"Of course you can", Ally said laughing.
"Yay! Now all six of us can be one big, happy family! Eight if you count Grandma and Grandpa. Where are they anyway?", Ella asked.
"They're sleeping Sunshine", I said quickly.
"Wait, who's the sixth person excluding Austin's parents? There are only five of you here", Maddie asked. Seriously?
"It's you Maddie. I learned a long time ago that you have to count yourself", Ella said making all of us laugh.
"Y-you consider m-me part of your f-f-family!?", Maddie asked smiling a little. We all replied saying things like 'of course', 'yeah', and 'duh'.
"My first family", she whispered smiling widely to herself. I couldn't help but smile at this too.
Hey people! So, is everybody happy now? I hope so, because I had some people saying that they were crying during the last couple of chapters. Actually crying. I just couldn't believe my story got that much emotion out of you all. Thank-you so much! Please continue to read, review, follow, and favorite! :D
