Present Is Past (Not Edited)

Chapter 16- Back Again

POV- Abby Tucker

"Gale, O my gosh, can you hear me." I said while hitting his face, and checking his pulse. "He's not breathing, call the ambulance now!" 

"I already did," Tracy said from behind. Then I hear the ambulance pull onto our road, and stop within a split second. The lady just sat in the car in shock. I don't think she blinked. 

"Check the boy! I will get the lady." The driver of the ambulance said. He ran over to the lady and checked her pulse. The other man pushed me out of the way, and asked what happened while he checked Gale's pulse. "She's gone," I heard the man by the lady say. "Probably from shock." 

"This man has a faint pulse, lets get him out of here before it's gone." A third man walked out of the ambulance with a stretcher. They all put Gale onto it while I just sat there watching them leave. They said in a matter of time more people would be here to handle the whole incident. For now they had to take Gale to the hospital.

Five Minutes Later~

I just sat there is silence with everyone else. It took a whole five minutes for the cops to arrive. They took the old lady out of the car,  covered her up, and got her out of their in to time flat. Tracy and I were interview by two separate cops. "What happened, how did this happen?" The cop asked me. 

"I don't know. It's just. I woke up from a nightmare probably caused by my grade 3 concussion. Gale walked in, and when I was saying what was going on he just walked out. He kept walking one step at a time. We called after him, and he wouldn't turn to see where we were. The lady in the car hit her breaks, but still hit him at a good speed. He hit his head on the windshield and broke it, and with the momentum in his body he fell head first to the black top. My head is killing me, can I go back inside? 

"Yes madam, you may." I was walking inside when the cops started talking to each other. Tracy walked in with me, and she turned on her IPhone to a BVB screen saver, and wallpaper. Within a second she was on the phone with Damion telling the whole story, every, little, detail. I went up to my room, and took a nap. 

POV-Tracy Underwood

"Yeah, I would bring Dakota over here. Abby's in shock. She stood right their while it all happened," I whispered into the phone. 

"Okay Tracy, we will be over there in a couple minutes. I will take the back way, so I can get to the house." 

"Okay see you in a bit." knock knock knock "Yes officers?" I said while opening the door. 

"May we speak to Abby?" 

"She's asleep, I'm sorry for your inconvenience." 

"Was their any relationship issues in her life that might have caused this?"

"Well, yes. Kind of," I said back thinking about Gale. 

"Like what?" 

"Just a couple days ago when Gale arrived in town... Dakota, her boyfriend, got mad, and that's when he got hurt." 

"So Gale just showed out of the blue?" They said back. 

"Yes."

"Thank you for your time Miss Underwood. That's all we need for today. The tow will be here soon to take away the ladies car so you don't have to worry about it." Right as they finished talking Damion and Dakota pulled into the driveway. The officers were walking away as they got out of the car. Almost in unison they grabbed their top hat and said, " Dakota *nods head* Damion *nods head" And they left. 

"Hey Tracy," Damion said while he quickly kissed me like we hadn't seen each other  for years. 

"Cmon' love birds, no one care." I'm going up to Abby's room. 

POV- Dakota McCain

As soon as I walked into the house I could smell her sent. The flower blossoms. I ran up to her room, and opened the door. "Hey Abby," I said softly. 

"You probably killed him, you know that right." I walked over to her and sat down next to her. 

"Me. Why do you assume me?" I said in a harsh tone. 

"I'm not stupid Dakota," She started yelling. "I know you hypnotized him, so when someone said killed Dakota or something like that, you had him go walk in front of a moving car! How could you? You don't even know his name you bastard." 

"Well I'm sorry okay! It's not my fault he wanted to kill me, and take you from me. It's not my fault okay. SO CALM DOWN AND JUST LISTEN TO ME." 

"Fine." 

"Will you go out to eat with me tomorrow night? Just me and you." 

"Fine." After she finished talking I kissed her on the lips, while hugging her with one arm to show my love. 

~~~~~~~~~

"Tracy you look, so, so fabulous. I'm speech less. I don't, don't know what to say but wow!" 

"Thanks I guess. Where are we going?" She said with no enthusiasm. 

"Well, where do you want to go?" 

"Um, well, got see if Gale is okay, but that's not going to happen." 

"How about we go to Eleven Madison Park?" I said pretending I didn't hear the name Gale." 

"Why not, I have never been there. It might be fun." After she said that I was about to take her into my arms until I realized I only had one. I made reservations there in the best private room they had. Today was special, I wasn't going to let her leave me. 

Right before our limo pulled up I said, " Oh yeah Abby. I did a little extra for this date." I then pointed to the corner of the road, when she looked there came the limo we were riding in. 

"NO way!!! Dakota you didn't!!! HOW DID YOU??? OMG!" She then hugged me, and pulled me into the limo by my good hand. Soon we were off to the restaurant. When we got to Eleven Madison Park, we were guided straight to a back room where they had glasses of water set out. The circular table was covered in a red cloth, green leaves, and bluebirds. In the middle there were 3 candles, all different sizes, floating in a glass cylinder their size. When they burned all the way out, the water would cover them and they would go out. On each side of the table was a rose for her, and a rose for me. I walked over to her chair and pulled it out for her to sit down. She sat down and pulled herself closer to the table while I walked over to my side at took a seat. 

"What do you think?" 

"Wow. You know how to treat a girl, and how did you know I loved fish tanks with abstract fish at restaurants?"  She said while looking at the fish tank 5 feet to her right. 

"Well I guess in months time you learn some things." I smiled, and she smiled back. "Abby before we eat I have something to give you." I wanted to make it dramatic, so I got up and walked over to her. I started to get down on one knee and pull a jewelry box out of the pocket of my suit when she put her hands over her face in awe. I knew she wouldn't be able to resist me, not after this. "Abby, will you stay with me forever and ever. Never leave me. Never. I love you dearly, and would die if you left me." Just like I rehearsed I said the words. When she looked at the diamond necklace and earring her eye's started to sparkle again, and she got all red on the cheeks. She nodded her head and stood up to hug me. After she hugged me to death, she gave me one long kiss that I wouldn't be able to live without if she left me. I put the necklace around her neck, and the earrings on her ear. "Someday you know their will be a ring to go with that, I'm just hoping you will accept my love for you. I know I never got to this since we didn't get our date when Damion fell into the pool, so I had to do something even better than I could before." She smiled with a tear going down her check. It wasn't a sad tear, it was tear of joy and happiness.
