Unseen Love

~Austin’s POV~

“Tina!” I exclaimed. I was so desperate to hold her and keep pressure on the womb. I had to stop the bleeding. I don’t know where the bullet landed, but there was a hole in Tina’s back from where it went through.

I looked up to meet the gaze of the man who had done this to her.

“You stupid prick! You just can’t get enough hurting you can you?! Now because of you she is shot!” I yelled. I felt the veins in my neck and face bulge. I wanted to cry because the girl I love is in my arms hurt.

“I didn’t mean to shoot her! I meant to shoot you! I told her that if she ever went back to you that I would kill you the minute I see you. But she always was a stupid bitch. She always did try to kill herself maybe I just saved her some time.” Connor explained. Before I could fight back Leo had punched Connor causing him to knock out. I was going to thank Leo, but Tina had interrupted me.

“Austin…” Tina spoke but then took in a deep breath to finish. “I love you…” Tina said almost inaudible. The only reason why I heard was because I had her head in the crock of my shoulder. I was trying to keep track of her pulse.

“Tina don’t speak. Control your breathing…. Please stay with me. I can’t lose you…” I spoke to soon. I had felt pulse come to a stop. Before I could hold onto her tighter, the ambulance showed up.

“Sir! We need the girl!”

“She’s dead! She has no pulse! I know because I felt it stop!”

“Sir! There still might be a chance we can bring her back, but you need to give her to us. NOW!”

I did as they asked, and handed her over. I didn’t let go of her hand though. I held onto it like my life depended on it. I was not going to let her go if I could hold her a moment longer. I watched as the paramedics worked for what seemed like hours, but in reality it was only 20 minutes.

“I have a pulse! It is faint but she has a pulse! It is a steady low pulse! Leroy step on it! We need to get this girl to surgery now! Ashley radio in the hospital to get surgeons prepped and ready to go, so they can begin the minute we get her there!”

“Tina, listen to me. I am right here. I am not going anywhere. Please don’t leave me. You die I die just remember that. I love you Tina. Please fight. Fight for us,”





“Austin!” Alan slapped me in the face “Wake up dude! You were screaming again. The nurses think that it would be best if you went home to get a goodnights sleep”

Without thinking I bolted up and ran to Tina’s side, ignoring what Alan was saying.


“I wish the nurses would stop telling me that. Haven’t they noticed I am going anywhere without Tina?” I said with a large amount of annoyance in my voice.

“I know man. Come on lets go so that Tori can clean Tina up a little. I am hungry and I know you are too. I think it will be good for you to eat a real meal instead of fast food someone brings you, or this cheap ass cafeteria food.” I nodded and squeezed Tina’s hand one more time. Just as I was about to set her hand down Tina flinched against me.

“Tina..?” I began rubbing her hand and squeezing it. “I am right her Tina. You are okay. If you can hear me squeeze my hand again…”

“Austin you are just dreaming it come on. Leave with Alan and get something to eat. She will be right here when you get back.” Tori urged.


“No. She just squeezed my hand. I am not imagining it! It has been three weeks since she has last moved a muscle on her own! I. Am. Not. Leaving. Her.” I said through gritting teeth looking at Tori and Alan both. They got the message because they both sat on the couch and waited.


“Tina. Baby. You are okay. I am not leaving you ever again. I love you. Please come back.” I repeated it over and over again for the next two hours. I did not move. I just sat there with Tina’s small hand in mine. I had been crying the full two hours. I couldn’t help but feel full of regret.

Just when I was about to give up Tina squeezed my hand like her life depended on it.

“Look! Tori! Alan! Look at her hand!! That is right Baby. Squeeze it. You are okay. Come on. You are doing great.” I exclaimed loudly. Alan ran out of the room looking for a doctor, while Tori ran over to Tina.

“Oh my god! Tina! This is amazing! Come on! Stay with us. Please don’t leave us again. We love you.” Tori had to stop and go sit back down. She began sobbing.

My cheeks were soaking wet, but I did not care to move and wipe them off. My hands were to occupied holding onto Tina. I was looking back and forth from our hands to her face. I saw her struggling to speak and to open her eyes.

“Tina. Calm down. Don’t try to move too much. Austin, if she tries to move too much at one time her body can go back into shock. She needs to take it slow. Don’t urge her to do too much. But within the next hour or so she should be complete coherent. I will be back every twenty minutes to check up her. But as of right now all of her vital signs are great. She just needs time.” The doctor came out of know where. I did not even notice that he was there the whole time. I nodded to the doctor and turned my attention back to Tina.

“You heard the doctor. Try not to do too much. Just relax and take your time.” Tina’s face soon relaxed, but her grip stayed tight on my hand. It hurt a little bit, but I was not going to tell her to stop. I missed this feeling way too much.

“Austin…” Tina mumbled and took in a deeper breath the finish speaking out, “I love you. Please don’t leave me.” I began crying even harder. Tina soon began crying with me. I grabbed her in my arms. I didn’t let her go. I held her tight against my chest. She wrapped her arms around my torso and continued to cry. I feel so privileged that my name would be the first word she chose to say. And the fact that I meant so much to her.

“Shh… I am not leaving you. I love you so much. Please don’t push to yourself to hard. I can’t lose you again.” I was forcing myself to calm down for Tina’s sake.
Tina felt me calm down and she followed my lead. She also began calming down.





Tori, Alan, Tina and I have spent the whole day together. We caught Tina up on everything. Tori tried bringing up what happened to Connor and Dave, but Tina refused to listen. She did not want to talk about them today. I was not arguing. A topic like that can wait until we get home. It turned out that she remembers everything. She hasn’t said that she heard me talk to her, but I am afraid of asking and she not know what I am talking about.

“Okay sweetie. Alan and I are gonna get going. I text Leo and Elliot and told them you woke up. They should be here tomorrow afternoon, around lunchtime. I will see you the following day. Only three people in the room at the time so we take turns.” Tori explained while hugging Tina bye.

“I really missed you Tina. I am glad you are back now. I was starting to miss my little sister. I can’t wait for us to hang out again.” Alan told her while hugging her. I couldn’t help but smile. I love how close my best friend and girlfriend are.

“Okay. I love you guys. See you later! Be safe home for me okay?”


“Austin… Can you lay next to me? I have a few things I need to talk to you about.” I did as she asked. I had requested Tina get one of the biggest beds the hospital has. I wanted her to be comfortable. So now that she is awake we fit in the bed perfectly.

“What do you need to talk to me about?” I was curious. I wanted to know what she had to say.

“Well there are two things I need to tell you. But I am not sure if the last thing is real or just my imagination. I was too afraid to ask in front of Tori and Alan. I didn’t feel like having them all sad and mopey.” She explained. I couldn’t tell her emotion, because she was showing so many.
“Okay, just tell me what you want to tell me.”
“I heard everything you said while I was in my coma. It is the only thing that kept me fighting. You don’t know how bad I was trying to scream, to grip your hand, to tell you that I love you and I was okay. Finally when you told everyone else that I had gripped back I didn’t want to give up. I had to fight. I am glad the hard work finally paid off.” My lips crashed into her. I missed her so much. I didn’t even let her finish talking because if I had then I don’t think I would end up doing it. She kissed me back very softly, but pulled me away. “One more thing. What are you wearing right now?”

A puzzled look formed on my face. Why is he asking this? I looked down to see what I was wearing.

“I am wearing an old Slipknot tank that I cut and some pajama pants. Why?” I was so confused. How is any of this relevant?! I looked back up to see Tina crying her eyes out. “Babe. Tina. What is wrong? Are you hurt? Why are you crying? Talk to me! What is going on?!”

She looked up at me and met my gaze. Something was different. She has not once ever met my gaze. She was always looking somewhere else. I knew she was unable to meet my gaze head on, but this time she did. The weird thing is that I can see something in her eyes. Like a spark of joy and happiness. But if she was happy then why was she crying so much? And so hard?

“Austin… I can see you…” I felt tears fall from my eyes. I was speechless.

‘Is this really happening right now? This has to be a dream. Is this even possible? ’ I thought to myself. I couldn’t form the sound to actually say it out loud.

“I can see Austin…”
