"Alright, this one is for ash." I sat beside him, holding Eric in my lap while Calum handed out some different wrapped boxes to them. "Thanks man." He took the box, sliding off the paper. Eric was smiling, looking at him. "Sweet! Rainbow drumsticks!" I laughed slightly, seeing the gleam in his eye. "Cool!" Cal handed the rest of them something, sitting down himself. Eventually, I got up and gave the guys their gifts from everyone living at the motel. "Ash, you can read the card." "Okie! To: 5 seconds of summer, we hope you guys like this, have a happy holidays! From: everyone at the motel! P.S.-surge had nothing to do with this, so it's not toxic.
Good." We all laughed, while they opened them. Ash got a chain with a drum charm, mike got some Pokemon stuff: of course, Luke got something about penguins, and cal got, nobody knows since he wouldn't show us. "Alright, now I've got something special for you ash." He giggled, a smile plastered across my face. "Cal, make sure Eric's alright." He nodded, holding him in his lap. I stood up, pulling ash with me, and took him around the corner.
Earlier that week, I made arrangements to get a German Shepard from the pound, and some plans with the vets office so she would be okay. Also, previously, while the guys were opening stuff from AJ and such, I snuck off to get her, and brought her in unnoticed.
"Close your eyes baby." He did as told, giggling. I led him around the corner, smiling. "Go ahead." Opening his eyes, ash's jaw dropped. "Oh. My. Jesus." A smile formed on his face, arms wrapping around me. "Thank you so much baby!" "No problem. I hope you like her!" He bent down, playing with the small puppy. "What's her name?" "Well that's up to you." He giggled, walking back into the room with me and the dog. "Thank you so much babe." The second we walked in, Calum flipped. "OH MY GOD ITS A FRICKIN PUPPY DOG KOROSU HOW THE FUCK DID YOU DO THIS?!" "Hey! Don't swear around Eric!" I looked down at the small boy, who was just smiling and playing with Luke. "Sorry........" He shrugged it off, going to see the dog. I sat next to Luke and Eric, smiling. "I realize what I have done." "Good." Eventually, ash joined us, the small canine following him. "What should we name him Eric?" "How about banana?" Mike shrugged, chuckling. "B-banana!" Ash giggled, picking him up. "What a great first word Eric!" He babbled and giggled, looking down at ash. "Well, that's her name then." Everyone nodded, erupting into a fit of giggles. "Well, now it's my turn Yasmin." He took out a small-ish box, handing it to me. "Thank you baby, you really didn't have to do thi-" "yes, I did, open it." I smiled, kissed his cheek, and carefully opened the box. "Sweet Jesus on the hood of a Mercedes." Inside was a single edged stainless steel blade, which had designs in the metal, resembling swirls. The handle was black with grey swirls, and a golden line going vertically, and in the middle was a large heart broken and bleeding. "Oh my god... Ashton... I don't know how to thank you enough." I set the dagger down, wrapping my arms around him. "You're welcome. I thought you would like it." "Like it? I love it. Yet I love you way more." I kissed his cheek, smiling. Of course, the dagger was amazing, but it made me happy just by being with him.
~Ashton~
On New Year's Eve, Calum seemed to be back to himself, well, drunken self. Yasmin, Eric and I were sitting on the floor, since mike and Luke were taking up the couch, and Calum was laying across the other chairs. "Wait! It's almost midnight! Shit!" "Cal! Stop swearing damnit!" I shook my head, giggling at the two. "Seriously babe?" "Hey, maybe it'll work." She leaned on my shoulder, smiling. "I love you." "I love you more." She just kept that grin on her face while cal counted down to one. "Five, four, three, two, one! Happy new year!" Yasmin softly kissed me, wrapping an arm around my waist. I replied gently, smiling beneath her cold lips. After a little bit, my lungs screamed for air, pulling me away from the touch of her lips. "To another year with my favorite dork of them all."

She smirked, holding Eric in her arms. "Follow me." She stood up, leading me into the bedroom. After putting him to sleep, she turned around, smirking. I realized what she was doing, and a smile crept across my face. I wanted her badly. I could finally get her.

I didn't care at this point if it killed me again. I needed him. My body begged to have him, as did my mind. I locked the door, pulling him onto the bed. My lips crashed into his, hands pulling him closer. He replied roughly, pinning me to the bed. After a while when our clothes were off and he was about to go further, I couldn't stand it anymore. "Ash...." "Shh baby. It's okay." I tried to speak, but ended up grimacing. "Ashton please." He seemed concerned, stopping. "Baby, what's wrong?" I just shook my head, holding him. "It's fine....just hurts." He rubbed my back. "It's okay baby, it's okay." I stayed close to him, the muscles slowly relaxing. I really want him, but the pain gets worse each time.

"Ash! Ash!" I could hear Luke's footsteps in the hall, getting closer. "The studio just called with some news!" He slid out of bed, stepping into the hall. "What is it Luke?" I sat on the bed, smiling a bit at their enthusiasm. Only mumbling was audible, so I couldn't make out the words that would leave me broken.
~Ashton~
"We've got another tour scheduled! It'll be a little over a year, and....We're leaving in two weeks, since that's the only time they got." I smiled, nodding. "Alright, go tell cal and Mikey." He ran off, leaving me and Yasmin alone. "Hey babe, guess what?" She stood up, wrapping her arms around me. "What is it?" "We've got another tour scheduled in about two weeks!" A smile made its way across my face, enthusiasm filling my voice.
"Oh ash. That's-that's great." I was pretty excited, then reality hit me in the face. If I was gone on tour, I would be away from my family. For more than a year.

I helped the guys pack things up for the tour, my heart slowly being crushed. I yearned for him to stay, but I couldn't keep him from what he loved, especially since it was his job. He wrapped his arms around me, and I did the same. "I'm really gonna miss you baby." I nodded, biting my lip. "I'm gonna miss you too." He kissed me softly, my reply just as delicate. "I love you Yasmin." "I love you too Ashton." He smiled, Eric standing by my leg. I picked him up, letting him see Ashton. "Hey bud. I'm gonna miss you. Take care of mommy and banana for me, can you do that?" He nodded, wrapping his arms around his neck. "Daddy." Tears stung in my eyes, begging to fall. "I love you guys." As he got in the car, I finally let my tears fall. I loved him so much. So very much.
~Ashton~
I stared out the window at the passing road, tears falling from my eyes. "You okay ash?" Cal seemed to be the only one speaking quietly, while mike and Luke were talking loudly in front of us. I nodded slowly, refusing to look at him. The entire trip, I stared out the window, not knowing that would be the last time I saw her perfectly fine.

After about a few months, I could barely take the loneliness anymore. Ash had called whenever he could, yet that wasn't often. I was driving down the road, coming back from work, when I felt warm tears running down my cheeks. I bit my lip, trying to focus on the road in front of me. I saw some idiot driving an 18 wheeler in front of me, coming towards the truck. It didn't register in my mind until it was too late. Before I had time to react, the vehicle slammed into me, crushing the truck. I was thrown forward, broken glass cutting into my face. My leg and arm were being crushed, while my head was hit with a metal pipe. Blood fell onto the ground below me, and the last the I saw before blacking out was the broken glass jabbing into my stomach.

~Ashton~
I sat at the table, drinking beer with the rest of the guys, while cal went on about the show we finished. My phone began to ring, interrupting the conversation. I left the table, answering. "Heyo."
"Ashton? It's Sasha. It's about your wife."
