Aticm and Korosu

Chapter 23

~Korosu~
I was holding onto Ashton's hand, more worried than I had ever been. He had an oxygen mask over his nose and mouth, as the paramedics were trying to stop the bleeding. What about his head? A woman was looking at the bruising on his forehead, and faced him. "Ashton, do you know what day it is?" He looked up at her, dazed. "No..." The woman scribbled something down on a sheet of paper. "Do you know what's going on?" "No..." She wrote something else down, and I kept his hand in between mine. "Who is the girl beside you?" He looked over at me, then back at the woman. "Korosu." He remembers my name, even though he can't remember what day it is. She scribbled something down, and turned back to him. Ashton was looking up at me, then went unconscious. "Ashton..." I shook his hand lightly, and he didn't respond. The woman looked over at one of the paramedics, and I saw the hospital ahead. At the moment, I was worried and afraid. The one I love is in front of me, unresponsive and bleeding. My god...Ashton! The ambulance stopped, and they took Ashton inside. One of the paramedics kept a grip on my shoulders, and led me inside. "What's going on?!" I turned to him, and he let go of me. "He is in the emergency room, their taking care of him." "You people better know what the hell you're doing." He left, and I went towards the waiting room. Calum, Luke, and mike were already there, sitting next to each other. Calum saw me, and stood up. I walked over to them, and looked in his eyes. "Is Ashton okay?" His voice was filled with worry, and I looked down a bit. "He went unconscious. I'm not really sure." He sat back down, and I sat next to Luke. Some of the hospital staff was staring at me, but I didn't care. All I really cared about was Ashton.

For the next hour, we sat in the waiting room, worried about Ashton. I was starting to get angry. Why won't they at least tell us if he's alive?! I stood up, about ready to punch one of the doctors. "Will they at least tell us if he's okay?!" "Korosu, calm down. I'm sure it's fine." Calum stood next to me, and I snapped towards him. "Calm down?! He could be dead for Christ's sake!" I buried my face in my hands, and Cal put a hand on my shoulder. "It's going to be okay. Promise." I felt warm tears streaming down my cheeks, and continued standing. About a few minutes later, I sat back down, as did Calum. After another ten minutes or so, a doctor came out. "Ashton Irwin?" I stood straight up, as did the guys. "Come with me." He began walking down the hallway, and and we all followed. Please tell me he's okay. Please be okay. He took us down the hallway, and stood by one of the doors. The doctor opened the door, and my heart deflated a bit. His stomach was wrapped heavily, and some gauze was covering his forehead. Ashton was slightly conscious, and had some tubes across his nose. "He's partially awake, the anestisia is wearing off. The gash in his abdomen was deep, but we took care of it." The doctor walked out, and closed the door. He's alive. I slowly walked over to the side of the bed, and Ashton looked over at me. He smiled, and I returned it. "Hello Korosu." "Hey ash. You feel okay?" I spoke softly, and carefully held his hand. He nodded slightly, and the guys were slowly going around to the other side of the bed. "That's good. I love you so much Ashton." "I love you too Korosu." I lightly hugged him, and he wrapped his arms around me. The guys smiled, and Calum looked down at us. "You guys are so cute with each other." "Yep." Luke chuckled a bit. I let go, still holding onto his hand. Ashton turned to the guys, and smiled. "Alright, I know you want to say it. How stupid did I look?" Luke smirked a bit, looking down at him. "Hilarious." They all laughed, and I chuckled a bit. It's good to see him smile.
~Ashton~
I ignored the pounding headache I had, and continued to talk with them. After a bit, I noticed Korosu was humming amnesia, and smiled up at her. "I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted." She looked down at me, smiling. Her eyes were brighter, and her cheek was glitching a bit. "I thought about our last kiss, how it felt, the way you tasted." "And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine, are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you." Mike joined in, smiling. Luke did as well, along with Calum. "When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?" We all ended up singing amnesia with each other, Korosu's hand in mine. After we stopped singing, everybody stood in silence. I noticed Korosu's eyes seemed a bit irritated, and she was speaking with Calum. Was she crying? The doctor came in, and asked them to leave. The guys left, and it was just Korosu and I. "Korosu?" "Yes ash?" She looked down at me, and I kept her hand in mine. "Were you crying before?" She kept her eyes on me, and nodded. "It's hard seeing you hurt Ashton, extremely hard." I can relate to that. Looking up at her, I lightly squeezed her hand. "Now you know how I felt." She smiled down at me, then kissed me. I cupped her face, and she put her hand on my shoulder. The doctor came back in, and she broke away. "I'm so glad you're okay. I don't know what I'd do without you." I smiled up at her, and she returned it. "I'll see you tomorrow Ashton, okay?" "Okay. Goodnight Korosu. I love you." "Goodnight. I love you too." Smiling, Korosu left with the doctor. I fell asleep a couple minutes later, thinking of her.
