She did this a long time ago too

Ashton and Hanna had seemed to get closer over those next couple weeks. Just as the cupcake phase between Luke and I was coming to an end.

I first noticed the spark between Hanna and Ashton when they first met. It was like when him and I had met but for some reason theirs was stronger. I wasn't mad but just confused.

At the time I needed Luke the most he had to go to Australia. His grandmother was in the hospital. He offered to bring me but that was his time with his family. I didn't want to ruin it.

The dreams I had started when he left.
I stayed at the boys' house. In my dream I was running. Fast. From the words. A bunch of words chasing me. All my insecurities. All the past abuse. My past was chasing me and I couldn't get away. I woke up sweating and crying.

It went on like that for the first two days but it was the worst the third night. I woke up screaming. Ashton came running into Luke's room to find me ricking back and forth on the bathroom floor. I was a mess. He wrapped his arms around me as my tears dried and I sat there lifeless. The urge was returning. I had to block it out.

The room started going black.

》ASHTON'S P.O.V.《

I ran in to find her in a ball rocking in the bathroom. I didn't know what was wrong but I couldn't let her make any bad decisions. I ran over to her and sat on the floor. I held her like I used to. But this time it meant more. She laid staring off into space, her tears drying. Then suddenly she mumbled and her eyes closed.

I hurried to lay her on the bed and god a cold wet rag for her forhead. I yelled for Michael and Calum. They ran in and watched her while I ran to my room to get my phone. I dialled 9-1-1.

She had slowly woken up a little when the ambulance got there. I couldn't tell Luke. He was dealing with enough.

"What happened?" The EMT asked me.

"Im not sure. I heard her scream then ran into her room and she was on the floor crying. A few minutes after, she passed out." I replied panicked.

"Are you her boyfriend or an immediate family member?" He asked.

I knew if I said no he wouldn't let me see her so I said I was her boyfriend.

We left in the ambulance. I was surprised that the paparazzi hadn't caught up yet but was also really relieved.

A few hours after waiting in the waitibg room with Michael and Calum the doctor came out.

"Ashton?"

"Yeah? Is she okay?" I asked rushing over to him, followed by Mikey and Cal.

"She hasn't eaten in what seems to be days. How is this possible? You've been with her the whole time right?" he asked concerned.

"She said she was eating..." I said quietly. Remembering the things she had told me about her past.

"She did this a long time ago too" I said to the doctor.

Both boys looked confused.

"I should have payed more attention" I mumbled.

"Well right now shes slowly recovering on an IV. If you want to see her you can now." The doctor informed us and we nodded.

He led us to the room. It was a small dark room. I breathed then opened the door. The cold metal giving me chills. Slowly I saw her. She was thin, and pale. I had never seen her like this before. How had I not noticed?

It was all my fault.

"El?" I asked slowly walking in.

Her eyes fluttered open slowly and she looked at me.

"Ashton?" she asked, "where am I?"

"the hospital. You passed out. I'm sorry." I apologized, walking until I was next to her.

"Its not your fault." she said quietly and looked away, "It's my fault. I'm sorry"

"No, El. its not your fault." I said.

"Hey Ellie?" Michael cautiously questioned.

She looked over at him and smiled.

"Mikey, Calum, how are you?" she asked smiling.

"That doesn't matter. How are you Ellie?" Calum asked.

"Im fine" She smiled. I knew that smile. It was fake.

"Guys, not to worry anyone but, I just got a text from Luke asking why we're at the hospital" Mikey said panicking.

"Does he know who is checked in or does he just know we're here?" I asked.

"He just knows we're here" he said.

"Just tell him not to worry and to tell his family we said hello" I said calming him down.

"Okay."

In the end Michael and Calum went home and I sat in the hospital watching Ellie all night. I wanted to make sure she was still alive. I was genuinely worried about her.

"Do you have to watch me sleep?" She asked startling me.

"sorry." I said awkwardly.

"Its fine. I understand. You want to make sure I don't do anything irrational or die. Ive been through this before. I know how it works." she sighed.

"Oh. yeah. Im sorry"

"Stop apologizing" she laughed.

"so- I mean, shit, uh. How are you feeling?" I coughed.

"Im okay. I mean how good does it get laying in a hospital because you starved yourself,  making awkward conversation with your ex?"

"So it could be better. Okay." I laughed.

"Does Luke know?" she asked quietly.

"about this or ut happening before?"

"Both I guess" she said then looked at me.

"No. he doesn't know about anything. All he knows is that we're here. he doesn't know why but he's going to have a lot of questions when he gets back tomorrow so rest up." I said.

"Okay. Goodnight Ashton. I love you." she yawned.

"Goodnight Ellie. I love you too."
