~Ashton~

I can hold my breath...
I can bite my tongue...
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one

The tour was only one week away, and as it approached, Ashton Irwin was slowly drifting away. Away from his fellow band members, away from the fans, and most importantly...you.

The one person he loved more than anything. Texts messages went unanswered, calls were ignored, and you were worried.

"Hey, this is Ashton, leave a message," his voice recording sounded so happy, so normal.

The recording beeped as you started to talk,

"Ash-please, answer your phone. Just let me know you're okay, please. I love you, you're hurting yourself and your friends. You're hurting me. Please, Ashton. Call me."

You hit the end button on your phone as the tears started to bubblegum . You start to think,

What if something happened to him?

Before it could even register in your brain, you were standing outside his hotel door, knocking-

"Ashton? Babe?"

You open the door, it being slightly ajar, and see what looks like a bomb zone.

You gasp, a feeling in your gut telling you in find him.

"Ashton?" You call out. You hear a small noise from somewhere in the room,

"Ashton! Ash, it's me...your girlfriend!"

You can see the bathroom door is cracked. Your hand grabs the door knob and you're instantly filled with dread.

I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part of that's what you ask
Give you all I am

'Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
I crash and I break down
Words in my head
Knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart

You pull open the door and you're breathless. All of the air in your lungs has been taken as you fall next to him on the tile.

"Ashton!" You scream.

He's laying there, blood staining the bracelets he always worse, and a pill bottle on the sink. Half of the pills were missing.

"Ash!"

As your hands violently shake, you dial 9-1-1.

"Hello? Yes, my....my boyfriend, I don't know what happened, he's hurt! Please, I don't think he's breathing. I found him and something's wrong!"

You tell them where you are and they say it will take time for the paramedics to get there. Then you dial Luke.

"Hey, Y/N! What's up?"

"It's-it's Ashton! Please, get here! I'm at his hotel room, please, Luke! He's not breathing!"

You try to keep yourself from crying, but every word is coming out in a horrible sob like sound. You hang up the phone and shake Ashton,

"Ash, please! You can't do this, I love you! You can't just leave like this!"

You hear the door slam open and heavy foot steps through the house. Ashton's band members materialized in the bathroom doorway, looking down at you. No one could say anything, there was nothing to say.
