Everything can change so fast

Chapter 12

Austin's POV

As I stand in the pet shop I can see Anna, and her other friend. I don't know what her name is. Libby, I think it's Libby. Anna is walking toward someone who is walking in the opposite direction of me. She must think he's me.

I let out a chuckle. I think I let it out a little too loud. I see her turn around to face me.

Son of a bitch.

I duck behind the puppy cages, my shoulder bumping on one in the meantime. A puppy starts to bark, causing a chain reaction of all the other puppies. Well, now I'm just flipping screwed.

I run behind the other cages, trying my best not to look where Anna was previously standing.

I stop when I feel a warm ooze of something going down my arm. I cut my shouder. How I barely even bumped it?

I look at the shirt I have on, being soaked with blood. It's not coming out fast, but it's​ a wide  cut which makes it seem like more. Ugh, I hate blood it's so gooey and thick. And red.

I decide to give up in my own game, because I kinda need some medical help. I'm pretty sure I need stitches.

Well, shit.

I sit on the floor pulling my shirt off to expose the wound. My eyes are trained on the floor when Anna steps in front of me. I glance upward seeing the expression on her face. Confusion, worry, and satisfaction.

"Are you alright?" She asks with what seems like worry lining her voice.

"Yeah, just a scratch." I reply, shifting my shoulders. I wince in pain realizing that my scratch is in my shoulder. I look at it again. The blood is making it way down my chest.

"Are you fucking blind, or are you just stupid?" She says with a serious tone.

I let out a low chuckle before replying, "Both." The next thing I know the world goes black.

-------------------

My body tells me no, but I don't listen. Hesitantly I open my eyes, squinting at the harsh light penetrating them. I feel a soft hand in mine. It has to be a girls, I can tell. The chemical smelling aroma fills my nose. I must be in a hospital.

I look to my left where I see Anna, worry is written all over her face. What the hell happened?

"W-what happened?" I ask, my voice raspy from just waking up.

"You feel asleep in the store and I thought you had just lost too much blood and passed out. But turns out you lost too much blood and fell into a coma. You also has a piece of the metal stuck into your shoulder, which penetrated one of your nerves, with is the real reason you fell into a coma." Anna replies, voice shaking with sadness. Was she worried about me?

"How long"

"About 1 week." She replies. My eyes widen. 1 week!!! "But I'll still take that date." A smile erupts onto my face. Her face flushes, laying her head onto the bed beside me.

"Did you come here everyday after school?" I ask. "Because that would be great."

"Yeah, I also did all your homework, since you couldn't do it. And if you want I could get you caught up on all your studies." She states with her head still laying on the bed.

"You know that would be great." I say, a smile still laying on my face.

"And you still owe me that hoodie." She says, raising her head up to look at me.

"I'll give you it on our date tonight." I say this time with a smirk on my face.

----------------

It's been about 3 hours since I was released from the chemical smelling place. I hate hospitals so much, I can remember it as it was yesterday.

As my mom drives me over to my best friends house I just stare out the window, freeing my mind from all the troubles from today. My best friend Ellie is 15, 1 year older than me.

As we pull up to the house I see an empty driveway. Typical. Her mom is an flight attendant, which means she's never home and when she is she never pays attention to Ellie. And for her dad he's just a dumbass drunk. Her words not mine. He is never home he is always out at a bar, or out with some slut.

Mom comes to a complete stop before unlocking the door to let me out. She is very overprotective.

I jump out of the car, running straight for the door. As I run up to the door I see that it is propped open. She would never leave the door open. I turn around telling my mom to stay.

I run through the front door, panic and fear through my veins. My head starts to spin as I think of all the possibilities. Oh please be safe.

I run to her room, only to find a box of razors. Oh no. Please tell me she didn't do it.

I stop for a moment to hear water running. It cuts clear through my thoughts, making my fear a whole lot worse. Running straight to the bathroom I see a water overflowing, running onto the floor. Each step I take in the odd colored water splashes. Echoing like I'm surrounded by tunnels. Looking down at the murky water I can't register why it's this color. Shock is flowing through my whole body I don't know what I'm even doing.

As I open the bathroom door I see her. Laying still in the water. Why isn't she moving? WHY SHE MOVING? I run to the tub, pulling out Ellie. She has on a white T-shirt that has soaking up the murky water. "Wake up!!! WAKE UP!!! Come on I know you can, why aren't you waking up?" I say, shaking her vigorously. "Please wake up don't leave me. I love you. You are my best friend you can't leave me. You just can't." Tears are now streaming down my face.

I grab pull her to where she is fully laying on me now. Her body is cold. Lips are a blue tint. "You can't leave me!!!! You can't leave your best friend!! Please!!" Her head lays on my chest not moving. I watch her chest to see if she is faking, but it's not moving.

I carry her in a bridal position to my mom. I start into a run. I can't let her die.

As I get out to the car my mom's expression turns into ice. She jumps out of the car, running over to me. She grabs her, laying her out in the front seat.

We rush to the hospital, but it's too late. They couldn't do anything. She technically died in my arms.

You could say this is why I hate hospitals and am also not the biggest fan to getting into a relationship. Because I don't wanna be in something with someone I actually care about and they decide they just wanna leave. They decide they don't even care.

-----------------

Hey guys I updated faster than last time. Go me. And I'm sorry if this chapter was crappy, I'm trying to make it where it has a teary moment but I'm pretty sure I failed at it. I am a bad writer.

And poor Austin. He has had a tough life, but wait till you hear about Anna's past. Sailorsdaughter already knows about it because it is sorta based off of me. It's about my past. You could sorta say.

And also I would like to dedicate this chapter to internettqirl because she has been an huge inspiration to me. And when she actually read my book I flipped out because she is awesome.

Also I'm an sorry if this chapter was bad. I've sorta had writer's block but I try.

Lots of Love💜💜
