I am tapping my shoes on the ground waiting for Ally to get here?Its been like two hours. How come it's taking her so long? I look at my phone for the hundredth time and no text. All of a sudden my phone starts going off, it's Ally. I answer it.
"Hello? Is this Austin Moon?"
"Who is this?"
"I'm Dr. Troy. I'm sorry to say but Ally is in the hospital. She has been in a terrible accident."
"What happened? Is she okay?"
"She's in a coma. She's under life support. Can you please come down. Your the only one with a heart on the name so I'm guessing she's your girlfriend?"
"Yeah, uh. I'll be right there." I hang up the phone.
I get in my car and drive over to the hospital. I ask for Ally Dawson's room.
"Relation?" She asks.
In an instinct I say, "I'm her boyfriend."
"Room 103." I run up the stairs because the elevator takes too long. I run down the hall as fast as I possibly can and look for her room number 101, 102. I stop at 103. I take a deep breath and open the door. Ally looks torn up. She's bandaged and bruised. She might as well look dead from what I see. I pull up a chair and sit next to her. I grab her hand and rub it softly.
"I can't believe I let this happen to you. This is all my fault. If I never asked you to come over this wouldn't have happened. I told you that I would protect you and the opposite happened."
I hear the door close and turn around and see a doctor. I read her name tag.
"Are you Dr. Troy?"
"Yes, we spoke on the phone earlier I'm guessing?" I nod. "So your Austin Moon, Ally's boyfriend."
"Uh, yeah. How is she? What happened? Is she going to be okay?" You can hear the panic and fear in my voice as I ask those questions.
"She was riding her bike when she was hit my a vehicle. She's stable. She'll be able to heal fast but she's in a coma and for how long, we don't know. She conscious so you will be able to speak but she can't speak back." I nod my head. "I notice that she doesn't have much contacts on her phone. Does she have family?"
"I'm her family." She nods her head.
"So may I have your number so I can contact you if anything new pops up?"
"Yes." She pulls out her card and I write my cell number on the back. I hand it back to her. She puts it in her pocket.
" I'm just going to do a check up. You will have to leave the room for that." I nod and leave the room and close the door behind me. I slide my back against the wall and sit on the floor. I pull out my phone and texts Trish.
To Trish From Austin:
Ally's in the hospital
To Austin from Trish:
Omg is she okay?
To Trish from Austin:
No, she was hit by a car. She's in a coma
To Austin from Trish:
I'm on my way
To Trish from Austin:
Room 103
I sit there waiting for Trish. I pull my arms around my knees and hug them. I rock back and forth and my head is spinning. I can't believe this is happening to Ally. She doesn't deserve this. Why does bad things keep happening to her all the time. Her parents died, her family never attempts to contact her, she is in terrible foster care, and now she is in a coma. I was supposed to protect her. I promised her that I would keep her save and make sure that she is happy.
I look around and see Trish running down the hall towards me.
"What's going on?" She asks worried. She can see the tears and my red eyes since I have been crying.
"Ally's in a coma. The doctor is doing a check up to we can't be in there right now. It feels like forever."
"Austin, it's going to be okay." She bends down and rubs my back to try to calm be but it doesn't help.
"Thanks for the support. I just wanted to keep her safe. I promised her that I would keep her safe. I should have just picked her up for her house instead of her coming over. This is all my fault."
"You couldn't have predicted that she would get in an accident. Things happen for a reason."
"So her having terrible things happen to her all the time is a good thing?"
"I didn't say that." I put my face in my knees and cry some more. I just so worried.
"I don't know what my life would be without her. She's told me that her life changed the moment I met her."
"Yes, it changed for the better."
"I just can't see myself with out her. She's my best friend."
"I know Austin. I know." The doctor comes out of the room and Trish and I stand up fast. "How is she?"
"She will be fine for now. You can visit her. I say there is only two at a time but there is only two of you. You may go in."
We enter the room and Trish falls into tears as she watches Ally. She looks at me and back at her. "Oh, Ally." She cries. She walks to the other side of the bed and pulls up a chair and I sit back in the one I was sitting in prior. "I know we didn't know each other for that long but I got to know you a bit. And I won't to get to know you more if you just wake up." Trish and I talk a bit. "I'm going to get a water. Do you want anything?" She asks.
"Just a water." I answer.
No Ones POV
Trish goes to the vending machine downstairs and put three dollars in for two waters.
Austin takes Ally's right hand and puts a bracelet on her. "I was going to give this to you when you got to my house. And I was also going to sing you a song that I just finished writing. It's called Superhero."
Sometimes love's a scary place
It's like standing in the dark
Flying through the universe
Trying to fix your broken heart
It's okay to let it go
You don't have to be so brave
Take a chance if someone else
Is gonna sweep in and save the day
You don't have to face your fears alone
'Cause whenever you're in trouble
I'll know
Let me be your superhero
There isn't a place I won't go
Whenever you need me by your side
I'll be there, be there
Never be afraid if you fall
I'll carry you away from it all
Let me be your superhero
Let me be your superhero
Take off your mask, put down your guard
Don't need a symbol on your chest
It's all right for once to play
The damsel in distress
You're gonna use up all your strength
Trying to be so strong
Don't have to shoulder all the weight
Together we can take it on
You don't have to face your fears alone (You're not alone, baby)
'Cause whenever you're in trouble
I'll know, oh
Let me be your superhero
There isn't a place I won't go
Whenever you need me by your side
I'll be there, be there
Never be afraid if you fall
I'll carry you away from it all
Let me be your superhero
Let me be your superhero
Woah woah oooh
Woah woah oooh
Let me be your super hero
Woah woah oooh, yeah yeah

Sometimes love's a scary place
It's like standing in the dark
Flying through the universe
Trying to fix your broken heart

There isn't a place I won't go (I won't go)
Whenever you need me by your side
I'll be there, be there
Never be afraid if you fall

(Woah woah oooh)
Yeah, I can be your superhero
You know I will, baby
Woah woah woah oh oh

Austin sighs when he finished singing the song. He looks down at Ally's hand and watches it move a bit. I quickly get up to grab the doctor.
