Crystal Coma **In Editing**

Chapter 9

*3 days later*

I had spent 3 days locked up in my room now. Doing nothing but crying. I couldn't cut and I couldn't listen to music except the shit they had on the radio, so I just didn't listen to music. The guys had been over at CC's house, but not Ashley. CC had told the guys and they had come up to my room to talk to me, but whenever they asked me something, I would answer flatly. When they asked me something about CC, I didn't answer at all. I hadn't eaten once and when CC or one of the guys brought food up to me, I didn't eat it and eventually, they would come back up and take it down. One thing CC hadn't noticed though, I had gotten my phone from his room and texted Ashley. Since CC had plans with Lauren later that night, Ashley and I would be going out on a date. The only bad thing, Jinxx and Sammi were going with. I would be meeting them at the restaurant with CC's car. Lauren was driving to CC's house and then he would take over driving where ever they were going, so I would take CC's car and keys.

*Later that night, Crystal's P.O.V.*

I pulled into the parking lot of the place where we were supposed to meet and got out. Sammi, Jinxx and Ashley were waiting outside for me. I walked up and hugged Ashley. We kissed and his hands travelled down my waist to my butt. We walked inside and got seated.

*Ashley's P.O.V.*

Since I hadn't been seeing Criss a lot lately, I had been seeing Sammi instead. We had sex 2 out of the 3 days and Criss and Jinxx had no idea. I felt bad about it, but Sammi was amazing in bed. Then Criss drove up in CC's car and got out. She came over to me and I hugged her tightly, kissing her and allowing my hands to travel down to her butt. I loved Criss, and I loved Sammi, but I couldn't choose. I didn't want to lose either one of them.

About an hour passed in the restaurant before Jinxx got another call from the manager and Criss had to go to the bathroom, leaving Sammi and I alone again. She moved across the booth and sat next to me, I smirked and leaned in to kiss her. The kiss was long and passionate.

*Jinxx's P.O.V.*

I got yet another call from the manager and I stepped outside as Criss got up to walk to the bathroom.

*Crystal's P.O.V.*

I fixed my reflection in the mirror. I added a little more lipgloss and eye liner, then ran my fingers quickly through my hair. Once I was pleased with the way I looked, I walked out of the bathroom and back to the booth. At first I thought I was at the wrong booth because there was a girl and a guy kissing, but as I got closer, it was Sammi and...Not Jinxx, but Ashley. I stood there, shocked and when the kiss broke, Ashley saw me and got out of the booth, Sammi smiling evilly at me.

"C-Criss p-"

I cut him off. "Don't! Don't call me that! We're over. Don't talk to me!" He reached a hand out to me and I slapped it away, turning on my heel and walking quickly out of the restaurant, Ashley following, calling my name. I was crying and when I walked out of the restaurant, I bumped into Jinxx who grabbed my arm and looked at me.

"Oh my God, Criss! What happened!?!?"

"I went to the bathroom. A-And when I came back, Ashley and Sammi were eating each other's faces off!" I cried into his shoulder as he pulled me into a hug. Then Ashley burst through the doors of the restaurant and walked up to me. Jinxx let go of me and stepped in front of me. Ashley looked behind him, at me.

"What is your problem?" He asked Ashley angrily.

"I-I." He was lost for words.

"I-I What? You want to tear the band apart, because you're doing an excellent job right now Ashley. First you fuck Criss and get CC so pissed he won't even be in the same room with you, then you cheat on Criss with none other than my girlfriend! If you don't want to be in the band, then why the hell don't you just fucking leave instead of tearing us apart??? We can find a new bassist in a heart beat!"

Ashley stood there, dumbfounded, then Jinxx wound his arm back and swung, socking Ashley in the jaw, sending him stumbling back.

*Ashley's P.O.V.*

I broke my kiss with Sammi and saw Crystal standing there, ready to cry. I shot out of the booth and tried talking to her.

"C-Criss p-"

She cut me off. "Don't! Don't call me that! We're over. Don't talk to me!" I reached a hand out to her but she slapped it away and turned on her heel and walked quickly out of the restaurant. I followed her, calling her name, leaving Sammi behind but then since I figured we wouldn't be coming back, I turned and threw $90 on the table then ran out. Sammi walking slowly behind me.

I burst through the doors of the restaurant and walked quickly to Jinxx and Crystal. Jinxx moved in front of Crystal, as if protecting her, and started yelling at me. I wasn't really listening at first because I was looking past his shoulder at Crystal's hurt face. Makeup starting to smear from crying.

"What is your problem?" He shouted at me angrily.

"I-I." I was lost for words.

"I-I What? You want to tear the band apart, because you're doing an excellent job right now, Ashley. First you fuck Criss and get CC so pissed he won't even be in the same room with you, then you cheat on Criss with none other than my girlfriend! If you don't want to be in the band, then why the hell don't you just fucking leave instead of tearing us apart??? We can find a new bassist in a heart beat!"

I stood there, even more lost for words. Shocked at what he just said to me. Then Jinxx wound his arm back and swung, socking me in the jaw, sending me stumbling back. I glared at him, holding my jaw.

"You had it coming from the moment you asked Criss out and you should have known that. Leave me alone. Leave Criss alone. Have fun with Sammi. We're over too. And the rest of the band will be hearing about this so expect more punches at the next band meet." Tears sprang to my eyes as Sammi walked out and looked at Jinxx innocently.

"Jinxxy, what's wrong?" She asked ever so sweetly.

"Drop it. We're over. Don't think of talking to me or contacting me again." With that he turned to Crystal who was crying and picked her up bridal style and carried her to CC's car and set her in the passenger side. He walked around to the drivers side and got in. A moment later the engine roared to life and he drove out of the driveway. Sammi handed me his keys and we walked to his car. I got in and so did she. I started his car and drove the 15 minutes down the street to her house.

I told her in a harsh tone "Get out." She looked at me a moment, then got out and walked up the sidewalk to her house. I drove by Jinxx's house and to mine. I parked his car in my driveway and walked up the sidewalk and opened my door. I walked in and Tokyo and Killer were at my feet, barking happily. I waved them off and walked upstairs to my room. I shut the door slightly and flopped on my bed. Tears slid down my face and I closed my eyes, just wanting this to be over.

*Crystal's P.O.V.*

Jinxx pulled into CC's driveway. I could see the TV on so CC was already home. Tears still slid down my face and my makeup was smeared. Jinxx got out and walked around and got me out of the car, carrying me up to the door. Before he could knock with his foot, the door flung open and there stood an angry CC. When he saw it was Jinxx carrying me and not Ashley, and that I was crying, his face softened. He moved aside and let us in. Jinxx carried me up to my room and laid me on my bed with CC following. He turned and looked at CC.

"What did he do?" CC asked cautiously. Jinxx explained it, growing anger in his voice. I had closed my eyes and listened to their conversation so they thought I was sleeping. Jinxx tried keeping his voice low and calm, but it didn't really work.

"Well I'll drive over to Ashley's house with you tomorrow morning to get your car and beat the shit out of Ashley." CC said with a hint of humor in his voice. Jinxx chuckled and what CC said next shocked me.

"Hey Jinxx....Do you um...Want to stay with Criss tonight to make sure she's safe and stuff?"

"Umm. Ya sure."

"K, thanks dude." CC walked out of my room and I felt Jinxx lie down next to me. He wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled into his chest, tears still pouring from my eyes. Jinxx held me tighter and kissed the top of my head as the sweet darkness came for me and temporarily took away the pain, making me forget everything, until it would find me in my dreams. Turning all that is good, bad. Then, when I would awake in the morning, I would be disheartened to find that, not only was it a nightmare, but it was a nightmare come true.
