(Ash's POV)

{10:30pm}

I walked for little over an hour. The thoughts I had so hoped to get rid of hadn't disappeared but now I'm too tired to worry about them. I walked up the stairs to the front door of Felix's house. I reached for the handle but retract my hand when I see the door slightly open. Had I not locked the door on my way out? I look over to the driveway which was empty. Lix isn't home yet. I slowly open the door entering the house. I grab Felix's umbrella with small printed cats on the cover. He always leaves it by the door in case of sudden rain. 

AS: "Hello? Is someone here? Felix?" 

No answer. I slowly crept around the house checking around every corner before entering a new area. I jumped as a loud thud came from Felix's bed room. I started towards the room with the umbrella raised ready to swing at any intruders. With one hand I push the door open examining the room before entering. I walk around the bed seeing what made the noise. It was the box Felix kept on his nightstand with polaroid photos of the guys and us. The photos however were now astray on the floor with the box laying on its top with the lids hinges broken from the fall. I picked up one of the pictures. It was of Felix and I at the lavender field. The same photo the girl had helped us with. There was some shuffling behind me. I quickly turn around umbrella at the ready. 

AS: "Who's in here!" 

Suddenly the bedroom door slams shut. There was someone standing against it. 

??: "Hello Ash, remember me?" 

The person walks closer. It's her. The reporter. The girl who harassed me. 

AS: "Who are you? What do you want?" 

The girl chuckles.

HL: "Oh honey, haven't you figured it out? Your ex, Hyunjin, hired me!"

AS: "Hired you for what exactly?" 

I point the umbrella at her keeping my distance. 

HL: "He hired me to exploit your relationship and to kill you."

She grinned. If looks could kill I'd be dead already but from the looks of it she's not going to try with her smile. The girl pulls a knife out from behind her back. 

AS: "He wouldn't do that!" 

HL: "Oh, but he did." 

The girl lunged at me and I swung the umbrella hitting her in the shoulder. She stumbled but lunged again after gaining her balance. I felt pain in my arm and a warm liquid running from it. I quickly reach to hold the cut closed but there was no use. The girl took my vulnerability as her target and knocked me to the ground. We both hit the floor with a hard thud. My bleeding arm felt useless and my good arm got trapped under her in the fall. She raised both her hands brandishing the knife above her head before plunging it into the side of my stomach. I gasp as the pain shoots through my body. I can feel the blood running out of me. I see the girl stand but I'm unable to move. My vision starts to blur. I'm going to pass out. 

FL: "What the hell are you doing here?! Ash? Oh my god Ash!"

I see Felix scramble to the floor putting his hand under me setting me against him. 

FL: "No, no, no please stay with me! Why would you do this?!" 

He reaches for his phone dialing 911 but before they answer my vision goes black and I feel nothing. 

(Felix's POV)

{10:40pm}

I pull up to my house parking the car in the driveway. Hyunjin had interrupted my conversation with JYP and the manager. I'm glad he did though because as soon as he told me what he knew I sped home. I get out of the car and head to the front door. I enter the house closing the door behind me. Quickly I realize that my umbrella is missing from beside the door and Ash's shoes aren't there either. 

FL: "Ash, I'm home!" 

I yell out hoping it'd give me some reassurance that they were okay but to no response. I take my shoes off and start towards the bedroom. I hear a thud and Ash gasp. I quickly open the door to see Hellen standing on the other side of my bed staring down and smiling. 

FL: "What the hell are you doing here?! Ash? Oh my god Ash!"

I walk over to see Ash on the floor, a knife in their side, and a puddle of blood forming on the floor. I drop to my knees, tears filling my eyes. I drag them onto my lap holding them as close as I can. 

FL: "No, no, no please stay with me! Why would you do this?!" 

HL: "Oh Lixie, you're asking the wrong person... maybe try your band mate? He might know something." 

Hellen grins leaving. I grab my phone dialing 911. Ash gasps in my arms. 

911: "911 what's your emergency?" 

FL: "My name is Lee Felix from the k-pop group Stray Kids. I live on 4419 Lonely Street. My partner Ash has been stabbed by an intruder and they're not responding."

A sob escapes my throat as I'm talking to the dispatcher. I rub Ash's face trying to keep them conscious. Their eyes begging to close but I'm not allowing them to fade. 

911: "Okay Felix we are sending units your way. Did you see the intruder or did you find Ash?"

FL: "Um... yes, I saw the intruder. Her name is Hellen Lee. My company has a restraining order against her..."

911: "Hellen Lee... Okay I've got her name on record. Now Felix I need you to either hold your hand over the wound or find a cloth to put over it and press down." 

FL: "The knife is still in them. I'm going to find a cloth to wrap around it." 

I go to stand but notice Ash is unconscious and their breath is slowing. 

FL: "No no Ash please! They're not breathing!"  

911: "Responders are 2 blocks away Felix. Stay by them. When you hear the sirens yell out to them so they know where to find you okay?" 

I feel the burning tears stream down my face. I'm losing them. I can't lose them. I hear the sirens outside. 

FL: "In here! We're in here!" 

The next few minutes happened so fast. The cops rushed in and took me out of the room while the paramedics took care of Ash. The ride in the ambulance to the hospital. The nurses and doctors rushing in and out of Ash's room. Everything just happened so fast.
