Stage Lover - Muke

20 - Grand Finale

Luke

Bang!

The shot shook the whole theather, the dancers started running in every directon but for some reason the music didn't stopped playing. My heart punded against my chest, forming a knot in my stomach

"Call the police" i told Zoey and immediately ran away into the desperate crowd. I need to find Michael, for all i know he could be hurt or... DON'T i don't wanna think about it, i just wanna find him

"Michael?!" I yelled once i was in a separated part of the theatre, i know it wasn't the smartest thing to do but i didn't know what else to do. I heard a noise coming from the storage room so i went to investigate.

The room was so dark i couldn't see anything, only the poor hallway's light illuminated enough to not bump into anything "Lukey..." i heard a familiar voice say and i visualized Michael on the floor, holding onto his leg and his eyes wide open towards me

"Oh god" i ran to him, noticing a big stain on his jean from a wound on his leg. I moved his hands away and applied pressure on his leg to stop the bleeding "Mikey, what happened?" I asked, he just looked up terrified

"He's coming back" Michael muttered

"Who?" I asked "Who did this to you?" Then the room lighted up instantly

"Me" i looked to the source of the sound finding a pair of hazel eyes staring at me. Ashton.

"What the fuck Ashton? What are you doing here?" I asked not knowing what was happening. Did Ashton did this to Michael?

"I love you Luke" Ashton spoke with a psychotic grin on his face "I know you love me too, you said it, in high school, you said we were going to be forever"

"Ashton, what are you saying? I don't understand" i said, noticing the gun on his hand and trying to be careful with it

"You left me, but it's ok, i forgive you, just come with me, we can be happy together" Ashton said and i knew something was wrong with him, this wasn't his usual self, he looked gone, like if the real him had just disappeared in the wind "When you left i got... bad, i did bad stuff, but now it's all gone! We can be together!"

"Ashton I'm sorry" i said "I'm sorry for everything i did back then, i know i hurted you but you have to move on, I'm really sorry, we were just kids, we didn't know what we were doing"

"What do you mean?" He asked "You don't wanna be with me? But why? It's because of him, isn't it? What do i have to do? Tell me and I'll do it" Ashton had tears in his eyes and the crazy smile wouldn't leave his face. I was scared, it was obvious that he wasn't stable, but it scared me the most that he could hurt Michael because of me, because something i did 5 years ago

"Ashton.." i muttered, Michael holding onto my arm which was already starting to hurt. Ashton's eyes lighted up and looked at the gun in his hand

"I know how I'll be with you" He smiled, taking his shaky hand up and slowly pressing the canon to his temple and his eyes dropping tears

"Ash don't"

"Goodbye Lukey, I love you"

Bang!

In that moment the door blasted open and a bunch of people who i could recognize as cops came in. But it was too late, Ashton's lifeless body was laying on the floor, a path of blood spreading over the floor

I wanted to stop looking, I wanted to close my eyes, but I couldn't, the tears ran over my cheeks as the zipper of the dark green bag was finally closed over Ash's face

Then they took Michael away in a stretcher, they placed an oxygen mask over his face and immobilized his leg. I just watched as everything happened in front of me, I couldn't believe Ashton just killed himself, I couldn't believe anything that was going on

Now they're carrying me away too. I saw Calum being handcuffed against a wall and a bunch of people outside trying to find out what just happened. Zoey came to me, worry obviously showing on her face

"Luke, what happened?" She asked, and I don't know if it was the recent shock or whatever they were giving me through this inhaler, but I just smiled at her and said

"How was the show?"

The end
