Through The Dark

14. I Can't Trust You

"ASHTON!!!!!!!" I say screaming kneeling next to him. His hair was all over the place and his face was severely bruised and he was bleeding profusely through his abdomen. He must of tried fighting back whoever did this. I don't think this was any gun shot wound because it looks like it didn't hit any major arteries, but I apply some pressure to stop the bleeding as much as I can.

"HELP! SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!" I say yelling and as loud as I could. A man walking by in a fancy suit came to my aid and made the 911 call. He talked to the first responder giving our location and questioning me how long he's been like this. I just shook my head in shock because I just found him like this.

I see a tall frame run up to us. It's Liam. Out of all people Liam has to show up now. He seems out of breath as if he had been running for awhile.

"Here let me help." Liam says offering his hand I notice his knuckles were bleeding.

"No get away from him you evil Son of a Bitch. I knew you hated Ashton, but not this much to hurt him or me, out of all people your best friend!" I say while continuing to apply pressure to Ashton's wound.

"Please, Sophia you have to trust me. I wouldn't do this to hurt you especially since I know you love him." He says.

"I'm sorry Liam, but I can't trust you. What happened to your knuckles?" I say holding back the tears and curiosity taking over. "Did you hit him?"

"What no. No I was trying to fight the person off who was attacking Ashton and ran after him. He got away though."

I'm shaking and I can't even stop it. I loose the grip on my phone as I pick it up to call Cam, but instead it drops on the side walk. At least it had a case. My boyfriend is bleeding out and I'm worrying about a fucking phone right now.

How pathetic can you be Sophia. Why the fuck did you have to leave your phone at the table? This would've never happened if you would've stayed with him. This is all my fault.

Cam is outside within seconds along with Meg.

"Will finish this conversation later Liam." I say firmly and Liam just puts his head down as if in defeat and walks past me without even looking back.

"I thought I told you for her to stay out of..." I say but I'm cut off by Meg speaking for the both of them.

"Sophia I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right here with you and Cam and we'll all get through this. I'm not leaving your side." She says rubbing my back.

The ambulance arrives and I finally stand up. I thank the stranger for making the call since I was in no such condition to make a phone call that my boyfriend was just attacked.

"He's lost a lot of blood, but thanks to you giving the wound some pressure helped for him not to loose anymore." The medic says.

I stare into the distance as the ambulance drives off with my Ash in the back of a gurney. I drop to the floor and start to cry.

"What if he doesn't make it?" I say as my lips start to tremble and I start to cry profusely.

"He'll make it." Cam says giving me a small smile. "He better make it." He whispers to Meg.

We all three ride in the back of an uber. I in the middle not saying a word. Cam and Meg just look at each other with concerned eyes.
