Terrible Disaster (Ash Costello/Chris Motionless)

Chapter 13.

Ash POV.
Work was a blur. I don't remember much of what was happening, but somehow I was getting through it. I think that was because of Jake, and Kyle mostly, but I'm really not sure. What I do know though, is that drinks were being thrown at me left and right, but the rules say I have to drink them no matter what.

"Hey you okay?" Jake asked pulling me aside.

"Yeah why?" I asked.

"Kyle told me when he called earlier you sounded like you were crying, and even here you seem out of it, so what's up?" He asked.

"It's really nothing Jake." I said trying to walk away, but he grabbed my arm, and turned me around to look at him. I kept looking down.

"Look at me." He said grabbing my chin so I had to look at him. I looked at him. "See now that look in your eyes tells me its not nothing, so what's wrong?" He asked. I took a deep breath and sighed.

"I'm just a little distracted Jake, but it's really nothing I swear." I replied.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked.

"Yes I'm fine." I answered. Jake raised one of his eyebrows.

"Promise?" He asked still not believing me.

"Yes I promise." I replied. He had a look on his face, and looked like he was about to say something when Desiree walked up.

"What the hell is this?" Came her squeaky voice I rolled my eyes.

"And that's my cue to leave." I said walking away and going back behind the bar.

Chris POV.

"Okay where does it say to go?" I asked pulling the car into an abandoned parking lot. We had just entered LA, and had no clue where else we were supposed to go. How do we know Ashley was in LA? Well when she called she forgot that we could track her with find my IPhone.

"Um, it's some place in Malibu apparently." Kuza replied.

"What, are you sure?" I asked.

"Yes that's what it says." He replied.

"Ok." I answered, and started the drive towards Malibu. I thought she said it was in a small town? Malibu is a big attraction in California.

"What are you thinking about?" Ricky asked. Snapping me out of my thoughts.

"It's just that she said she was in a small town, and Malibu really isn't that small." I said.

"Dude she probably said that in case you ever tried to go looking for her." Kuza stated.

"That's probably true." I replied. We arrived in Malibu.

"Wait stop!" Kuza called out suddenly. I slammed on the brakes.

"What?" I asked pissed off that he suddenly told me to stop in traffic.

"There she is, well not her, but there's her work." He said pointing out the window. I looked to my left, and saw the bar he was pointing at.

"Lets go." I said pulling the car into the parking lot. We found a spot, and just sat there in the car for a while.

"Where are the others?" Ricky asked.

"I don't know, weren't they right behind us just a minute ago?" I asked.

"Yeah hold on I'll call Balz."Ricky said grabbing his phone.

"Where are you?" Ricky asked, then there was a knock on his window.

"There they are." I said. We all got out of the car, and started walking towards the doors of the bar.
