And you've gone and sewn me to this bed

The taste of you and me (you and me)

Will never leave my lips again

Under the blinding rain (blinding rain)

I wanna hold your hand so tight

I'm gonna break my wrist

And when the vultures sing tonight

I'm gonna join right in

-Bulletproof Love by Pierce The Veil


Ashton's POV

I was still wearing the blood stained shirt, but I didn't care. It was only bound to get stained.

Nothing mattered.

It was raining. 

I was crying.

Periodically new cuts would appear on my body.

I can never have anything good.

It's over.

I stayed in bed the whole day, only getting up to use the bathroom and cut.

Luke is gone. 

I'm alone.


Luke's POV

I walked to Ashton's house after school. 

But I didn't even knock. 

I don't know why I came, something drew me there. 

I can't see him.

I walked away.


Nia's POV

Ashton hasn't answered any of my texts or calls. 

Luke hasn't either.

Michael doesn't know what's going on with them.

I have a bad feeling.


Ashton's POV

There was banging on my front door.

I faded.

There was banging on the bathroom door.

I faded.

Nia's here and she's screaming.

I faded.

She held my wrists in towels.

I faded.

There were sirens.

I faded.

The paramedics rushed in. 

I faded.


Luke's POV

Nia called me, she was sobbing. 

Ashton's going to the hospital.

I grabbed Ben's keys and ran to the car.

I didn't know how to drive.

I didn't care.

All I knew is I needed to see Ashton right now.
