Beside you [5SOS/Ashton Irwin]

Chapter 21- Hide and Seek

I woke up with a pain in my side, and the smell of dried blood.

I looked at my hip and saw a large gash in it, and purple skin surrounding it. I sucked in a deep breath, the pain hitting me 10 times worse since I looked at it.

"Ouch" I muttered to myself. I pushed off the ground, but quickly fell back down, pain shooting up my body. I gasped, holding onto my hips. I looked around the room and started to crawl over to the stairs. One by one, I grabbed the steps, barely pulling myself up with any strength I had left in me. I finally reached the top, and grabbed a hold of the railing, pulling myself up. I creaked the door open slowly, trying to be as quiet as I could. I tiptoed out of the door, but fell because of the pain in my hip. I fell with a large thud, and prayed they didn't hear it. I grabbed onto the kitchen counter next to me and pulled myself up.

"Going somewhere?" Someone asked behind me. I could hear the smirk in his voice. I slowly turned around, making eye contact with the man.

"No--no" I stuttered, my heart pounding.

"It sure looks like it babe" he smiled a disgusting smile, inching towards me.

"Do-don't call me that" I said, trying to sound confident, when I probably sounded like a little kid getting caught with their hand stuck in a cookie jar.

"I can call you whatever I want. Your mine now" he licked his lips.

"I'm not your property" I said, regaining a bit of my confidence.

"Don't talk back to me"

"Your not my mother"

He kicked my bad hip, making me fall down, hitting my head on the bar stool next to the counter.

My head pounded, and my side burned; but I got up with so much force it surprised me.

"Don't you dare treat a girl like that" I spat at him pushing him down with a large amount of force, making him fall down.

I started to limp down the hall, trying to find the front door.

I felt a pair of hands grab my waist and pull me back. I screamed, his hand touching the cut in my side, making it burn. I elbowed him in the gut, and started to limp a bit faster towards the door once I saw it. I bursted through it, but was yanked to the right. I winced because once again, someone touched my cut.

"Are you alright?" A familiar Australian accent sounds in my ears.

"Mikey!" I screamed hugging him, tears pouring out of my eyes.

"C'mon" he whispered in my hair, carrying me to where the police cars were parked on the side of the house.

"It's okay Brooke" he whispered, putting me in the black SUV that held everyone in it. I smiled widely at Ashton, Luke, and Calum, pulling them into a huge hug.

"I missed you guys so much" I cried into Luke's shoulder.

"We missed you too Brooke" Calum smiled at me.

Even though I was mad at him, I couldn't help but smile back.

"Oh my! Brooke your bleeding!" Luke said, lifting up the side of my shirt.

"Oh my gosh Brooke!" he said looking at the large gash and bruise.

"I'm fine" I said pulling my shirt back down.

"No your not, we're taking you to the hospital." Luke said. He climbed over to the drivers seat and buckled himself up, turning the engine on.

"Mikey get in!" He rolled down the window and called Michael. Michael climbed in.

As we were pulling out, I saw as the guys who kidnapped me, walked out of the house. The policeman shot them, killing them. Their bloody bodies fell to the floor and I shuddered; I'm glad their dead, but I hate seeing people die.

"Uhmm...they didn't rape you, did they?" Michael asked awkwardly.

"Uh no"

Luke let out a breath.

"Good" he said, keeping his eyes on the road.

"How'd you guys find me?" I asked.

"We tracked your phone"

I nearly had a heart attack, checking to see if my phone was in my pocket. I would cry if I didn't have it--- which luckily I do. I let out a breath.

"We're here" Luke announced. I looked outside and saw the hospital.

"Noooo" I whined.

We walked into the hospital and waited in the ER which felt like we were in there all day. We only waited about 2 hours. While we were waiting we just talked and played on our phones, occasionally playing hide and seek in the hospital.

"Brooke Carter" a lady called me.

I followed her into my room.

"You'll have to get stitches, and you will have to stay a couple days and not move so your stitches will heal and so they won't rip open" she said showing me to the bland hospital bed.

"Rip open?" I gulped.

"Yep" she smiled.

"Your friends aren't allowed to be in until after you get the stitches." She continued.

I frowned.

"Okay"
