Chapter 47 - Patience

A/N: I'm really sorry for going for a long time without updating. I've been busy with a lot of projects but I'll try my best to update this book a lot more. Love you guys ❤️

Kurt

She felt really frail. Her breaths were occasionally uneven and she was shaking in my arms.

I sighed.

I couldn't process my mind around the fact that someone actually did this to her? Who would do this to a girl? Who would do this at all?

"Kurt, I can tell you're worried about me. I'm fine, really" Her soft voice assured. I sighed.

"Ash, someone drugged you. Most likely wanted to rape you or do something equally terrible" I said softly, noticing her body stiffen at the mention of the word 'rape'. "I'm sorry sweetheart"

"No, that's the reality isn't it? I should get used to it" She said with a sigh. "I can't believe it, honestly. If not for Jeff I..." She trailed off with a sniffle. "Who would do something like this to me Kurt? And why?"

"Please don't cry" I said, bringing her head to my chest and stroking her head gently. "We'll get to the bottom of this okay?"

"I hope so" She said, quietly sobbing. "I really wanna believe it's Chris but... I just can't. He seemed so sober today. I..."

"Shhh" I said, silencing her gently. "Don't stress your head out right now. Just rest, okay sweetheart?" She sighed and nodded and laid her head back on my chest.

Quite frankly I believed anyone could be the culprit. Though I really doubt half of them would. It could actually be someone we had no idea of. There were a lot of people present after all and Ashlyn's pretty so... anyone could've.

While contemplating on that thought, I heard a soft knock on the door.

"Come in" I said as the door peeked open to reveal Stone Gossard. He looked a bit flushed, walking in on Ashlyn and I cuddling.

"Sorry to uh... interrupt but I saw Axl and Courtney leaving and I thought I'd come in" He said. We all came together but there's a policy that only allows three visitors in a room at once so he had to wait in the reception. "Should I go?"

"No Stone" She said, gently shifting out of my cuddle and sitting upright. "You can stay. There's a chair right there" Stone nodded and went over to the chair. 

"So... if you don't mind me asking, are you two...?" Before I could answer, Ashlyn answered on my behalf.

"Yes" She said, surprising me and Stone as well. Then Stone gave her a small smile.

"That's really great." He said, taking a look at me. I could tell he felt a bit awkward about it. I didn't blame him. Besides today, I've never actually talked to the guy.

"Yes Stone, I guess so" I said, not sure of what else to say. "She's a really nice girl"

"As long as you treat her right. She's like a long lost dear cousin to me" Stone said affectionately.

I chuckled. It was really cute that she had a plethora guy protective people around her. It was good. Especially in this industry. And honestly, who wouldn't wanna protect Ashlyn?

"So Kurt, you haven't answered my question from earlier. Who do you think did it?" She asked once again.

I groaned.

"Honestly I don't know. And it's fucking head up. Hell, part of me wants to say Bret Michaels or fucking Izzy Stradlin but..."

"Don't you even dare!" She yelled back at me. "Don't you dare. Jeff would never!"
