AN: Reading this back, this chapter is really strange and the time of it is so completely different than the rest of the story but I'm not going to rewrite it or anything. Besides, I don't think it's that terrible.
AUSTIN's POV:
I was.... dead.
My jaw dropped and I started to get dizzy. What was I doing here? I was a soul. Shouldn't I be up in Heaven. I deserved to be up there... right?
I tried to steady my breathing and accept what was happening but I couldn't. I put my hands on Dez and Trish's shoulders and tried to get them to see me. They turned around so obviously they could feel my touch but they never looked directly at me. It seemed like they were looking through me.
All of a sudden, Ally came back into the room with red, puffy cheeks. She looked terrible but beautiful at the same time. God, if this was the end of my life, then I hated it. Seeing my friends this upset, being invisible, feeling pain but no pain at the same time, not being able to tell someone you still loved them....
Ally looked like she was in so much pain. I wanted to hug her. I wanted to kiss her. I wanted to tell her everything was going to be alright... so that's what I tried to do. I went up to her and put my arms around her. She stopped what she was doing. I knew she could feel me. I wasn't completely dead yet.
She started breathing faster, like she was scared but strangely, even though she couldn't see me, she hugged back.
"Ally," I heard Trish say. "Is something wrong?"
Ally didn't answer. She didn't even look at Trish. It was like she was looking into my eyes. It was like she could sort of see me.
I gently pushed her up to the wall. She gulped.
"Ally, what's going on," I heard Dez ask. "Are you okay?"
It almost looked like she kept her gaze on me as she replied. "I don't know." She looked at Dez for a second. "You see him too, right?"
I smiled. See could see me.
"See who," Trish asked as she started to get nervous.
Ally didn't answer.
I put my hands around her waist and pulled her closer to me. She put her arms around my neck.
"Ally," I whispered hoping she could hear me. "Am I dead?"
Ally shook her head slowly and whispered, "No, you can't be. I don't want you to be."
"Dez, go get the doctor," I heard Trish say frantically. Dez got up and left.
"Ally," I whispered again. "Save me."
She held on to me tighter and sniffled like she was holding back tears. "I want to..... Are you even real?"
I nodded. "As real as I can be.... I still love you." She smiled. "I love you too."
I leaned in and she leaned in too but as soon as our lips were about to touch, everything went black and Ally disappeared from my arms.
