Missing Parts

I was woken up early by a constant buzz. I rose from my bed and grabbed the electronic seeing Ashton's name lighting up the screen. I quickly picked it up to hear and string of panicked cries.

"Ashton what's going on?" I inquire.

"Just hurry and get to Luna's" he sobbed out.

I hang up the phone and ran out the door, ignoring the fact I was still clad in my pajama bottoms and yesterdays band tee. I began to drive down to my best friends house, worry hanging over me. I continued to feel uneasy until I pulled up to her residence. I didn't bother knocking, I just bolted into the house.

"Ashton? Luna?!" I scream into the empty house.

"Up here!" a strangled voice replied.

I hastily made my way up the stairs to Luna's room and into her connected bathroom. My stomach dropped as I saw Luna unconscious and soaking wet due to the stream of water coming from the shower. I look to see Ashton behind her holding her tightly crying into her shoulder.

"What the hell happened?" I sputtered.

"I don't know" he croaked, "She wouldn't answer my text or calls so I drove over here to find her on her kitchen floor with an empty bottle of pills. So I brought here and made her puke them up but I don't know if she puked all if them up because I don't know how many she took" Ashton babbled still clutching his girlfriend in his arms.

"We need to take her to the hospital" I command .

"NO".

Our heads snapped over to Luna who's eyes were full of alarm.

"Baby we need to go make sure you're okay" Ashton explained.

"I'm fine Ash, I promise" she slurred.

"We don't know that for sure Luna" I said softly.

"I don't need to go" she said aggressively.

"Baby I'm sorry but I don't give a shit" Ash sighed.

He turned off the shower and stood up, lifting Luna up and cradling her in his arms.

"ASHTON NO" she protested.

Ashton continued to carry the wailing girl out of the house and into his beat up truck. I climbed into the passenger side as Ashton put Luna in my lap and sat in the drivers side and pulled out of the drive way and began the route to the hospital. Luna continued to sob and protest in my arms pleading for her boyfriend to turn around.

"Ashy p-please just go back home. I'm fine" she whimpered, tears and snot running down her face.

Ashton shook his head and kept driving, fat tears rolling off his cheeks. I held Luna tightly trying to calm the wailing girl. When we arrived at the ER Luna began to thrash around and scream. Ashton got out the car and grabbed his girlfriend and made his way into the sterile building, me trailing behind. As soon as we entered the building we had a swarm of nurses come at us. Luna was instantly hauled out of Ashton's arms and onto a hospital bed.

"HE HAS TO COME WITH ME" she squawked grabbing towards her boyfriend.

"I'm going with you sweet pea, I promise" Ashton croaked, still trying to contain his tears.

"Mikey I'm going to go with her can you please call the others?" he pitifully asked.

"Of course Ash, you just go take care of her" I instructed.

He nodded and jogged off to catch up to Luna.

I sat down in the bleak waiting room and pulled out my phone and began to call Calum.
