Make Me Smile || Kurt Cobain

Chapter 45 - After Effects

Kurt

"Ashlyn. Babe. Can you hear me?!" I yelled frantically into the phone.

"Kurt... my... I think... l... drugged..."

"Ashlyn! Ashlyn! Don't mess with me! Ashlyn!" I kept yelling into the phone. A time came when I heard some shuffling from the other end then...

Nothing.

What in the actual fuck?

My mind began to race. My heart pounded and my head began to spin.

I didn't wanna believe it.

I couldn't believe it.

Did she say she was drugged? Like self inflicted or someone drugged her?

What was going on?

Ashlyn doesn't even drink, what the fuck was going on?

"Can we please go any faster?" I asked my cab driver who nodded and increased his speed. I quickly dialed Courtney's number. It rang for a while before she finally picked up.

"Hey Kurty," She greeted, sounding a bit tipsy.

"Hi Court. Have you seen or heard from Ashlyn?"

"Did you say Ashlyn? Sorry, lemme move over to where the music isn't so loud" I heard her say, then a lot of shuffling in the background. "Yeah perfect. So what's up Kurt?"

"Ashlyn. Have you seen her?"

"Um... yeah a while ago. But I left her with Duff. Is there a problem?"

"I'll explain it when I get there. But please, just try to find her. Please"

"Alright Kurt. You can count on me" Courtney said, hanging up.

Anxiety and adrenalin pulsed through my veins as we continued to race along the streets, somehow still keeping to the speed limit. Soon enough, we were at the club.

I threw two hundred dollar bills at the driver and told him to keep the change then dashed into the club in search of my girl.

God I hoped she was okay but deep down I knew she wasn't.

"Hey... hey... Steven" I called out to Steven Adler who had two girls on each arm.

"Oh hey man, what's up?" He asked as the girls tried kissing him all over.

Okay...

"Have you by any chance seen Duff? Or Ashlyn?" I asked, trying to ignore the girls including one of them that was looking at me as if I was some sort of snack.

No hate but I've never been into groupies and I never will.

"No, I think I caught a glimpse of Duff over at one of the lounge chairs there" Steven said, pointing at a distance. "If you're lucky you'll see him there. But Ashlyn, haven't seen her all night" Steven said.

"Thanks man. Uh... have fun" I said before jetting out of there and heading to where Duff was apparently supposed to be.

Fate shined on me gracefully as I found him with Krist in that exact place, downing some shots.
