Picture of Ally to the side!

--Drew Borden

I slowly make my way to Ally's door. My body sways back and fourth as if I'm drunk or tired or even injured. I stop in front of Ally's door to catch my breath, but I don't know why I'm having trouble breathing. I lean up against the door, and as I do I look around. This isn't Ally's house. This is my house. This is my door that I'm leaning on, but Ally's on the other side. I'm not for sure, but I'm going with my gut.

Swinging the door open, I wish I hadn't walked in. Ally's laying on the floor with empty pill bottles laying around her. My eyes get blurry and I fall to the ground. I try screaming, but when I open my mouth nothing comes out. I can't move. It's as if someone is holding me down, but who?

I open my eyes and gasp for air, only to be in pain by something sticking down my throat. People run in and they tell me to stay still and calm down. I do as they say when I realize they're nurses. They pull the object out of my mouth and I gasp for air once more.

"You scared the hell outta me boy," the nurse who took the object out of my mouth says.

"What was that?" I ask, only to be in pain again. I shield my eyes with my hand from the sun pouring in from the window.

"We put a tube down your throat and into your lungs to help you breathe," the nurse says. "By the way, you can call me Janet. I hate being called 'nurse' all the time."

"Where's Ally?" I ask eagerly.

"Who?"

I try to get out of bed, but pain strikes again, but it's all throughout my body this time. Janet softly places me back on my pillow and says, "Look, you've been asleep for about two days. Your body is still healing so you're going to be in pain."

I give her a confused look. What happened to me?

"Do you not remember what happened?" she asks, and I shake my head. "You got hurt very badly Mr. Borden-"

"Drew," I interrupt.

"Drew," she corrects herself. "A man by the name of Greg Christian is going to trial for almost killing you. If no one called, you could've died by blood loss."

"Called," I repeat. "Who called? Ally?"

"Oh yes Ally Christian," she responds.

I get out of bed, trying to ignore the severe pain that ran through my body.

"Drew I'm gonna need you to sit back down hun. You're not healed yet," Janet informs as she gets in my way.

"I need to find Ally. I need to know that she's okay," I say, tears springing to my eyes.

Janet sees how much I'm hurting and takes a different approach. "How about you sit back down and I'll go find Ally's doctor."

I sigh in defeat and nod. Janet smiles and helps me get underneath the covers of the bed. She holds up her pointer finger and walks out of the room. I lay back and close my eyes.

Pictures of Ally pop into my mind. When she was sitting outside of the principal's office and she looked up at me with her big blue innocent eyes. When she was in my arms the night of the party that Kate broke up with me and I was walking down the sidewalk. How beautiful she looked when we were dancing in my room. How mad and embarrassed she was after my dad came in on us.

I open my eyes, but things look different. The sun is gone and it's dark in my room. Janet walks by my door, peeking in before walking on. Seconds later she comes in through the door and turns the lights on.
