Aticm and Korosu

Chapter 22

~Ashton~
The next day, I woke up early in the morning. Today is gonna be amazing. I got in the shower, and got dressed. The rest of the guys were already downstairs, probably watching something on the news. All I heard was something about a bunch of murders, assuming it was from Korosu. As I walked downstairs, I found out I was partially right. Two people were suspects, one a male. Guess it's just another murderer. I sat next to Calum on the couch, and smiled at him. "Ready to practice?" "Guess so." We all got ready, and went out to the garage. Tonight will be amazing.
~Korosu~
I woke up a bit early, and sat up smiling. Can't wait to see ash and the guys. I got showered to clean off all the blood from last night, and put on a hoodie and jeans. I'll look better later. I sat on my bed, and fell back. Looking at the ceiling, I was thinking through everything that's been going on. A smile crept across my face as I thought of the abandoned house. Ash is such a great guy. I'm so glad he's in my life.

Around five o'clock, I started getting ready. Don't bring your dagger, you won't need it. I put rings in my lips, and a small pair of earrings in. As I braided my hair, a smile spread across my face and never left. I put on some torn jeans and a long sleeve blouse. Amnesia was playing on my phone as I put on some basic eyeliner and blush. Around 5:20, I left the apartment with my phone, wallet, and keys. My dagger was inside, since I doubted I'd need it. Walking towards the house, it seemed slightly warmer today. It had been pretty cold the past few weeks, so this made me a bit happy. From a distance, I could see the guys outside with their instruments, and Ash with his drumsticks. I walked over to him, and smiled at him. "Hey ash." He smiled, and wrapped his arms around me. "Hello Korosu. I love you." "I love you too ash." Behind us, Luke, mike, and Calum were all smiling. "Aww." Ashton turned to Calum, and was giggling a bit. I was smiling as well, and looked at Luke. He didn't seem as scared of me anymore, and chuckled a bit. "You guys are just adorable." Ash and I looked at each other, and were laughing slightly. "Guess we are." He kept his arms around me, and I put mine around him. "Well, let's head out." Mike, Luke, and Calum all got into the van that had been parked in front of the driveway, as did ash and I. When we got in, I ended up sitting on his lap. The other guys were giggling and laughing again, and ash just rolled his eyes. I chuckled a bit, and we drove off.

When we got to the arena, Korosu was helping us get the stage set up. She's a really kind girl, and just amazing. As the arena was filling up with fans, we were all smiling. I love doing this. Right as we were about to go to the front of the stage, I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking, and accidentally tripped over the wire for Mike's amp.
~Korosu~
I was backstage watching the guys when I saw ash fall, and looked over at the manager. He had a worried look on his face, and I walked out around the side of the stage. Mike was motioning me to get over there to help, and I ran over. He was right over the side of the stage on the ground, and I got over to side. "Ash, what happened?" I helped him sit up, and saw something that made me feel like I've been shot. There was a large gash in his upper abdomen, and bruising on his forehead. "Huh?" Ash looked down at the gash, and seemed confused. I got him to his feet slowly, and blood was sticking his shirt to him. Mike and Calum helped me get him onto the stage, and into the back. Luke was explaining that they would delay the show, and I laid ash down on the ground with his head on my lap. "What happened Mike?" "He tripped over one of the cords I set out for my amp, and he hit his head and stomach on the side of the stage." I nodded, looking down at him. He seemed pretty out of it, and I directed my attention to his abdomen. Slowly, I pulled back his bloody shirt, and felt sick. There was a deep gash in his abdomen, and the skin was torn apart. "Calum, got anything like gauze nearby?" He nodded, and ran off. Luke came back, and looked down at the gash. "My god..." I didn't care if I'd be questioned by doctors, he needed a hospital. "Luke, call 911, tell them we need an ambulance for an injury to the abdomen and head." He nodded, and pulled out his phone. Calum ran back in, with some gauze in his hand. "Thanks." I took it, and held pressure to the wound. Ash winced, and looked up at me. I was focused on his abdomen, yet looked back at him. "It's going to be okay, just look at me." The gauze was being soaked with blood, and didn't seem to be stopping any bleeding. Damnit. Luke had his phone up to his ear, and turned to me. "They said they'd be here in about five minutes." I nodded, and looked back at the wound. "Good." This is pretty bad. I wasn't sure what organs might have been damaged, if any. For the next five minutes, we all anxiously waited for the paramedics to show up. Right on time, they came in with a stretcher. I helped them get him on, and the guys and I went outside. Luke turned to me, and was dead serious. "You go with him, we'll meet you at the hospital." I nodded, and went into the ambulance with ash.
