5 Seconds of Summer Imagines (requests open)

Shot (Ashton and Hannah)

Hannah and Ashton we're going to have a weekend just to themselves. No interviews. No twit cams. No keeks. Nothing. Just the two of them.

Hannah's birthday was that weekend and Ashton had surprised her with concert tickets to see her favorite band. Hannah was thrilled. She was jumping up and down and squealing; thanking Ashton profusely.

When they finally arrived at the queue, the place was packed. People were pushing each other, trying to get to the front of the line to buy tickets. And those that were smart enough to buy the tickets earlier were granted access---going inside pretty quickly.

Ashton grabbed Hannah's hand and held it tightly. She looked at him confused. His eyes were trained straight ahead. Her stomach curled itself into knots.

"Ash? What's wrong?" She whispered. She thought he hadn't heard her.

"I don't want to be here. I don't want you to be here. I have a bad feeling someth---" He never got to finish because a shot rang out.

Hannah gasped and cuddled closer to Ashton. His arms tightened protectively around her. Hannah felt like she was going to be sick.

People started running towards the exit. Another shot. Another scream. Another stab to Hannah's heart.

Scream. Shot. Scream. Shot. Cry. Shot. Cry. Shot. Scream. Shot...

Ashton tried to move but it was too late. Hannah saw a man with a mask. He looked straight at her...

And then the last shot echoed through the concert arena.

Ashton woke up in the hospital. The intruder had shot him. He was hit in the abdomen. It was a miracle he didn't die on scene. He was only saved because Hannah kept pressure on the wound.

The media swarmed and the world wanted to know what happened. So his manager made up a story. It was his appendix. He had to have surgery to remove it.

Hannah never left. She slept by his side. And she sang to him.

Maybe something bad happened here. But, something better was around the corner. Even if they couldn't see it.
