Facing the End ( An Asa Butterfield Story )

Facing the End

Ashley's POV:

I got out of Asa's bed and sat on the horrible chair I've been sleeping on. There was a moment of silence for about 5 minutes. "Asa, my dad called me." I said trying to make conversation. "Oh really? that's great babe!!" He said sounding excited for me. "Yeah, but it's not great. He only wanted to talk to my mom. I told him that she is gone and he just hung up." I said as my voice cracked. "Oh I'm sorry Ash, do you wanna watch some tv to get your mind off of it?" Asa suggested. "Sure" I said. Asa turned on the tv with his little remote and the news was on. "Breaking News, Little boy with cancer has been kidnapped from Saints Hospital-" That's the hospital we are in. I looked at Asa with my mouth down to the ground. We kept listening. "He was kidnapped by his zombie? grandparents-" the news reporter said in an unsure way. Sounding like he didn't believe in zombies. I ran to the window in the room and opened it up. There were a bunch of ambulance and police cars in front of the hospital. "What the heck is going on here?" I thought to myself.

Asa's POV

Ashley wasn't joking about the little boy.. but I thought I killed all the zombies at the park!! I guess I didn't. She ran over to the window and opened it up to see if she could see anything.. like the little boy. "Asa!" I heard her yell. "What is it babe?" I asked. "There are a bunch of police cars and ambulances. And I think I see.. Steven" she said.

Ashley's POV:

I swear I see Steven. His little lifeless body just laying on a stretcher. I lied to him. I told him he will kick cancers butt, but instead, he didn't even die from cancer he died from his stupid zombie grandparents. I sat on the chair and curled up in a ball and cried. I could hear the nurses outside the room going crazy. I can't believe Steven is gone. I can't believe it at all.

Asa's POV:

it was about 8pm and I was already getting tired. Before I went to sleep I got a text from Morgan.

Morgan- Hey buddy, how you feeling? Is your girlfriend taking good care of you? can't wait until you come home tomorrow. We miss you.

Asa- I'm feeling a little better. This whole zombie thing is crazy. And Ashley, she's fine. Love her to death. I can't wait either, neither can Ashley. Love you guys! tell mom and dad I say hi.

Morgan- Will do!

I told Ashley I was going to bed cause I couldn't wait until tomorrow so I could leave.

Ashley's POV:

"Night Asa, Love you"

This whole day has been crazy. I just couldn't wait to get out of here and just go home to Asa's house and just feel protected.

I suddenly got a text from my best Makenzie. I call her Mak for short.

Mak-Hey OMG where have you been we have worried about you in school!!!?

Me-Um don't worry about it I'll see you soon bye Mak!

I really didn't feel like telling her because she might freak. I want to tell her face to face. Texting is so hard. I looked over at Asa and saw his body on the hospital bed with the needles in his arms and his pale skin and started to tear up. I just don't understand why someone has to go through all of this. I set my phone down on the little table beside me. I kept tossing and turning to try to get comfy on this stupid rock chair bed thing. I don't even know what it is. All I know is that it's not comfy. I finally just laid on my back, folded my hands and just looked up at the white ceiling. It really sucks that Steven had to face the end like that. I'm just glad I still have Asa'
