AUSTIN'S POV

I just want to sleep, but I can't stop thinking about Adilynne. Why? I don't get it. How long has this been going on? How do I stop it. I don't know. Why didn't she just tell me.

Should I call the cops?

No wait what if there's more kids?

Unable to sleep I get out of bed slowly to avoid waking Adilynne. I glance at my alarm clock and it reads 12:45 a.m. Chance glares at me through his cage, and starts whining.

No! Stop whining chance.

I unlock Chances cage and pick him up in my arms, automatically relaxing when his soft fur touches me. I quietly walk out my room and down the stairs.

"Now where did I put your collar and leash?" I whisper to Chance.

I walk in the kitchen to find his blue collar, and matching blue leash on the counter. I sit Chance on the counter and quickly put his collar around his neck. I clip the leash on and carry him outside.

"Hurry up, stop smelling everything!" I whisper yell at Chance.

Chance turns around and looks at me like I'm crazy.

"Don't look at me like that."

When he finally finished doing his business, I take us both back inside.

"Stay." I tell chance as I sit him on the floor.

I remove his collar and leash then set them both back on the counter.

Having a sudden urge of wanting chocolate milk, I walk over to my fridge with Chance following behind me, I open it up and take the milk and chocolate syrup out the fridge.

Now a cup and a spoon.

I walk over to the cabinet beside the fridge and get a cup, then over to the drawer to get a spoon. I fill my cup up with milk then pour 5 spoonfuls of chocolate into it.

"Ow, chance stop," I say stopping him from chewing on the ends of my sweatpants like chew toys.

I get a small plastic bowl and pour a little bit of milk in it for Chance, I set on the ground for him to drink while I clean up my mess.

"There you go," I whisper, putting Chance back in his cage.

I climb in bed wanting to cuddle with Adilynne, but not wanting to hurt her. I decide to lay on my back, just as Adilynne turns around facing me and cuddles up against me laying her head on my chest. I gently massage her head.

I am so lucky, to have her, is all I can think about, as I slowly drift off to sleep.

ADILYNNE'S POV

It was just a dream. I'm okay. But it wasn't and I'm not. No! No, please not again. Okay, deep breaths. 1...2...3...4.. No I can't.

I slowly get up from the spot on Austin's bed trying my hardest not to wake him, with my shaking. My body immediately aches and pains shoots all through it. Ignoring the pain I quickly make my way to the bathroom.

When I lock the door I slide down onto the cold, hard floor, I realize I don't have any energy to fight this one. So I let it happen.

I move my hands to my chest trying to force air into my lungs. I moved in front of the toilet when I feel the urge to vomit.

Tears well up in my eyes and force themselves out from eyes causing my face to become soaked with tears.

Flashbacks from last night suddenly decide to come back to me right now as I'm sitting on the ground, rocking back and forth, trying to breathe.

No! He can't know. Oh my god. What I'm going to do?

Damn it!

I lay down on the floor in defeat and let my anxiety attack do it's thing. All I can do is try to breathe, and try to stop my shaking body.

I jump when I feel arms wrapping around me and picking me up. To weak to do anything I just let, who I'm pretty sure is Austin, take me.

My mind can't seem to focus on one thing. Between memories and flashbacks, I can't exactly make my brain shut off. I pinch my arm really hard trying to pull myself out from the thoughts that surround me.

When it doesn't work I dig my finger nails hard into my skin and keep pushing them in. I think about the pain as I feel blood starting to come to the surface, but my hand is quickly removed and and comforted by a soft and warm hand.

Please just let me-

AUSTIN'S POV

"ADILYNNE!" I scream laying her flat on the floor.

No. No! Please.

I reach my hand to her neck to check her pulse.

Damn it! Where's my phone!

I quickly get up and rush over to my nightstand where I find my phone and I quickly dial 9-1-1. Rushing back over to Adilynne, I try to remember the steps of CPR that we where taught in middle school health.

Was it 20 compressions? 30?

I put the phone in speaker and begin CPR.

She was just fine! What the hell happened!

"This is 911 what is your emergency?"

15, 16, 17, 18....

"Its my girlfriend, she just, stopped breathing please hurry!" I say holding back my tears.

21, 22, Adilynne please wake up.

"Okay stay-" this dispatcher began.

Seriously!

I looked down at my phone to see that it has went completely dead.

I thought 911 calls couldn't cut off even if it's dead, 30.

I placed my hand under her chin and tilted her head up. I placed my lips against hers and have her to breaths then continued CPR. My muscles are sore and I feel like I'm about to pass out.

When I finally hear sirens coming our way I sigh with some relief. I continue doing CPR, not wanting to let her go.

The door!

I pick Adilynne up in my arms and quickly run downstairs and place her on the living room floor. I unlock the door and open then go back to CPR.

"We got it, move over!" A firefighter said to me walking in the door.

He had a medical bag with him and was opening it while another guy took over CPR.

Please, just wake up.

"Clear!" One of the firefighters yelled.

They showed Adilynne a few times before the paramedics finally arrived.

"1, 2, 3, Clear!" They yelled again as paramedics began to enter my home.

I turned around not wanting to watch anymore.

She can't die. She just can't this isn't the end right? Her parents! Their going to be pissed. Just wake up please!
