Tragic Love (an Ashton Irwin fanfic)

Chapter 11: The Last Night

A/N: The Last Night by Skillet would be good for this chappie! I know I've already said that about another Skillet songs but they fit the story well.

3 Days Later

Brayden's POV:

I'd been thinking about this for a few days now, how I would do it. Why have I waited? I'm sure I didn't want to live this life anymore but I guess I was just hoping that Ashton would come back. Hoping that he would save me and make all of this pain stop. But I was wrong, he didn't show up.

This whole day, I have been contemplating my thoughts. Should I do it? Or should I keep going? I mean surely it would get better. But I knew that was a lie. Nothing would be right without Ashton. I'm sure he doesn't even care about me anymore. It was one date.

God, why was I making this so complicated? Just do it. Everyone would be happier without me. Okay, this is it. Tonight will be the last night.

Ashton's POV:

I have been going crazy. I've been running away my feelings and the cause for these feelings, Brayden. I know I've only known her for a few days but I know what I am feeling. She makes me feel different, in a good way. But I know I wouldn't make her happy. I break people and then I leave them to clean up the mess. All because I'm too afraid of being vulnerable.

Why was I like this? I locked up my feelings and didn't let anyone in. I couldn't. Nobody could know my frightening past, ever. I don't even know who I was back then. Why did I do those things.

I needed Brayden. She made me strong. She made me forget about everything else. I can't live without her.

Brayden's POV:

I was sitting in my dorm, getting myself ready for what I was about to do. I ran the water in the tub almost full. Still fully dressed, I stood above the tub. I took a deep breath as I lowered myself into the water. Here it goes.

I ducked my head under the water, thinking of everything I had been through. My parents' death. The bullying. The cutting. The other suicide attempt. Ashton. I had second thoughts for a minute but I pushed it away. He didn't care.

I am giving everything up. I am letting everyone else win. My thoughts left as I slowly drifted away into death.

Ashton's POV:

I made up my mind. I didn't care. I have to have her. I grabbed my keys off the table and got in my car. I'm getting her back.

I came up to the university and ran straight to her room. I knocked on the door hard. No answer. That was strange. I twisted the door knob and the door opened. She wouldn't leave her door unlocked at night, would she?

I walked in slowly and saw nobody in the room. As I spun around, I saw a crack in the bathroom door. Oh my god.

I ran in and saw Brayden's body lying in the tub. I pulled her out quickly and started giving her CPR.

After a few minutes, she woke up, coughing out water. I grabbed her tight and kissed her on her head.

"Thank God you're alive. I'm so sorry. I never should have left."

She didn't say much she just sat there crying and apologizing.

"It's okay. It's all over now," I said not letting her go.

"I love you too Ashton. Please never leave me again."

"Never. I'll always be here," I said as she cried herself to sleep.

I almost lost the best thing in my life.

A/N: Yay!!! Ashton's back! He barely saved her from making the worst mistake she could make. I might write some more later, I'm not sure. I have to think about what to write next. Later!
