Opposites attract (Ashlyn x Aiden)

The sorrel weed house

Ashlyn POV
"Want a tour of the sorrel weed house?" The person asked.
We all looked at each other.
"Omg yeah!" Taylor said.
She seemed excited. The person led us into the house. It was kinda dark and creepy. The person got a phone call and excused themselves.
"So professional," Tyler said.
"Actually I don't think-" Logan started.
"I was being sarcastic," Tyler said.
The sounds were getting louder... I took out my earplugs and it didn't help.
"Are those earbuds!" Aiden said.
"No their plugs bc I have sensitive hearing.." I said. "Oh sorry..!" He responded.
I put the plugs back in.
"Um...Ashlyn..?" Everyone was looking at me weird. There was something behind me. They could see it too?! It grabbed at my wrist. I fell getting it off. Aiden helped me up. He didn't let go of my hand. "Aiden? Why are you still holding my hand?" I asked.
"Oh sorry-" he said letting go.
"If this is some kinda prank it's not funny!" Tyler said he was pissed.
We all left the house and went to the hotel we were staying at. I was with Taylor and two other girls. They asked me if I wanted to play uno but I'd declined and went to my room. I was stretching. Kinda folding myself in half when Taylor walked in. "Hey Ashlyn we're sharing a- AHH-"
"what," I asked.
"Sorry! Didn't expect you to be... folded?" She said. We both lay in bed and fell asleep. I woke up on the bus. I thought I was already here. I got off and walked around.
Suddenly I was on one of the buses from the graveyard. There was a black monster. Then I was back in my room. But something was different... Taylor woke up. Suddenly one of the phantoms came out.
"AHHHH" Taylor screamed and we ran outside. "Taylor!" Tyler yelled. He stormed through the door. "Are you guys okay?" Aiden asked.
I nodded.
"How far away is your room?" I ask the boys.
"About 6 doors down," Aiden responds.
"Aiden give me your short strings," I say.
"Huh- okay," Aiden took the strings out of his shorts and handed them to me.
I tied it to the door.
"Now we bolt." We all ran.
The phantom was close behind.
"AIDEN! BEN!"
It was about to grab them. I shoved them out of the way and kicked a janitor buggy into the phantom. Aiden grabbed a spray bottle and sprayed it.
"This could be fun!" He said.
"AIDEN," I yelled.
The phantom was loud. We all ran into the boy's room. We thought we were safe. The door started to open: Ben closed it and locked it:
"phew.." I said.
I realized my arm was scratched up.
"Ash, what happened? I thought you got away?" Taylor asked.
"Oh. This is from the sorrel weed house." I said. "WHAT. YOU KNEW THIS WAS REAL AND DIDN'T TELL US?!" Tyler yelled.
My patience snapped.
"Don't go blaming me. You're the one who thought it was a prank. If blaming people makes you feel better go for it. But don't go screaming at me. I didn't do shit!" I said.
Tyler was stunned and walked away.
"Ashlyn is your arm.. okay?" Aiden asked.
"Not really-" I responded.
"Ben, can you patch her up?" Aiden asked his cousin. Ben nodded. Ben found a first aid kit in a cabinet and sat me down. He took my arm and poured something on it.
"OW-!" I covered my mouth.
The stuff burned my cut. Aiden seemed to notice. He came over to me.
"Hey- you can grab onto me if you want.." Aiden offered.
"I don't think I-" Ben started to stitch my arm.
With my free hand, I grabbed onto Aiden's arm tightly.
"Sorry, Aiden," I mumbled in pain.
"It's fine Ash," Aiden said.
I was squeezing his arm tightly. His arm turned a bit red. When Ben finished stitching I let go of Aiden. I looked at my arm.
"Ben your really good at this.." I said.
"He's used to patching me up," Aiden says.
"From what?" I ask.
"From me doing dangerous things... skateboarding.. rocking climbing, hiking"
I looked at Aiden's arm. I noticed the marks on his arm. I felt bad.
"Don't worry about it Ash.. those stitches definitely hurt more than this," Aiden said.
"Time doesn't seem to go in this realm.." Logan said. He had his watch and it still said midnight.
"I wonder how long we're gonna be here," Tyler said. Tyler pulled me to the side.
"I'm really sorry for yelling at you Ashlyn. That was wrong and I shouldn't blame you." Tyler apologized. "It's fine. I know you don't want to admit it but this is scary. You are scared. We're all scared Tyler." I said. Tyler walked away from me.
"What was that about?" Aiden asked walking over to me.
"Oh, he was just apologizing for his outburst," I said. "That was nice of him," Aiden said. "Are you..doing okay with your arm?" He asked.
"Yea. It's really painful but I can get through it." I responded.
Aiden kept staring at my arm.
"Was this when the phantom grabbed you? Like I know you said it was at the sorrel weed house but is it from the phantom?" Aiden asked.
"Yes, it is" I responded.
"That means the damage done in this realm will stay even if we leave it. When we come back it will be there." Aiden said.
"Didn't take you for the smart type Aiden," I said. "Oh shut up," Aiden said with a small chuckle.
Then I woke up. I was back in the normal world. In the bed. I suddenly needed to throw up. Taylor woke up. I ran into the bathroom and threw up in the shower, and Taylor threw up into the toilet.
"WHERE IS SHE" I heard Tyler yell.
Aiden came into the bathroom.
"Found them," he said.
"I feel another wave coming on.." Aiden said holding his mouth. the boys obviously had to vomit too.
