Beautiful Music (an AustinAndAlly FanFic)

Chapter 13: What Day Is It?

Ally's POV 

Wow. Did I jump off the lighthouse? I think I did.

Am I dead? I am. 

If I'm dead, why can I still think? Why is it dark? I don't know what death looks or feels like, but I'm sure it's not like this. I'm stuck in my mind. It's dark...and everything I'm thinking echoes in here. I think I need to wake up. Maybe I'm buried alive. 

I'm really bad with tight, closed spaces. I'm breathing really heavy right now. Okay, I'm starting to panic. I don't know why I killed myself. The bullying was horrible, but I want Austin. I need to be with Austin. And Trish. And Dez. I don't want this anymore. 

Unless...I can't come back to my body. I'm trapped here. In my mind. In the dark. By myself. It's cold in here. I think I need to find out how to get back to my body. I'll just keep walking in this direction then. It's getting warmer in this direction. Maybe my mind is playing the hot and cold game with me. Well there's only one way to find out. 

Austin's POV

Time is lost in my mind. Whirs, sounds, movement, whispers. Conversations I am a part of, but not spoken to. In my mind it's different than the rest of the others.

I stand in Ally's room, next to her bed, her ice cold hand in my warm sweaty palms. I look at her, dazed. My eyes water and all I want to do is hug her. Hug her so tight that she warms up with my warmth. That we share the same space. Breathe the same air. 

Trish and Dez are sitting on the chairs we sat in when we first visited Ally after her fall. Trish sits on Dez's lap and he rests his chin on her shoulder, both silently tearing up.

"Ally..." I start to whisper. "Please hear me. I need you."

Silence.

"I miss you." I continue. "I love you."

Silence. The silence fills the room. Every corner, any open space of the room, filled, with silence, like darkness fills a room.

I pray for Ally to wake up at any moment. To open her eyes and see me first. To jump in my arms. To breathe in her beautiful scent. To see that gorgeous smile. To feel her uneasy breathing on my neck when she holds me close.

I squeeze her hand and, for a second, think I feel her slightly squeeze back. A slight twiddle of her fingers scares me. I jump back a bit when she accepts my hand.

Her eyes don't open, but there's movement. Something is going to happen, I can feel it. Her fingers keep squirming. I panic and press the doctor call button.

Ally's POV

Is it just me or is it hot here? Where am I even at? This is freaky. I can feel something on my right hand. Like someone is...holding it.

The warmth is familiar. Austin's hand... Its his! I try my best to squeeze back but it doesnt work. My fingers are barely moving, I'm trying my hardest to wiggle them but it doen't work. 

"Austin! Austin!" I scream as loud as I can, but I don't think he can hear me. It's still really dark, maybe if I...walk over there? 

I can see a light. But it's so far away. I start to run towards the light. It's getting brighter and brighter! I think I'm almost there! 

Austin's POV

"Doctor! Doctor! Please! Help! My friend,she...she..." Ally's fingers kept twitching, but the rest of her body didn't move a muscle.
