About halfway through the post show meet and greet, I snuck out of the room to go talk to Ryan. He had obviously done something to bother Ash considering the way she had reacted earlier that day, and I planned on finding out what.
I knocked on the door of the musician's dressing room and was greeted by Ryan.
"Hey, dude, what's up?" What a fake.
"I just wanted to have a friendly chat with you."
"Oh..." He looked surprised. "Sure, one sec." Ryan turned around and told the rest of our band that he would be back in a little bit.
"Is everything ok?" Ryan asked as he closed the door behind him.
"Well... it's just... I was wondering if you, uh... you did something to upset Ash? She was just acting weird."
"What? Of course I didn't do anything! If you have a problem with me, just tell me. Don't bring Ashlynn into it."
Well someone's defensive.
"I don't have a problem with you, as long as you treat Ash right."
I realized we had reached the end of the hallway we were walking down and there was a door in front of us.
Ryan pushed open the door and stepped outside. "Why don't you mind your own business, Marvey. This doesn't concern you."
My phone began to ring but I ignored it. "Ash is my concern. If she's not happy, I'm not happy. She deserves so much and I can't let her get hurt."
"Well, if you love her so much, why don't you ask her out?"
Before I knew what I was doing, my casted hand went flying into Ryan's jaw, causing him to growl in pain. 'If I asked her out, she'd say no.' I mentally answered his question.
"Hunter, you're gonna regret you ever did that." He lunged at me but stopped when his cellphone started to ring.
He answered it and smirked at me. "Hey, Ashlynn!"
'Ashlynn?! Why was she calling him?!'
"...I'm kinda busy right now can we talk later?......No, sorry. Got to go. Talk to you later...Bye." He hung up and punched me right in the eye before I had a chance to move. I was so stunned and once again, Ryan took advantage of that by punching me in the mouth and nose.
My phone rang again so I answered it in hopes that Ryan would stop throwing punches, but I was sadly mistaken.
"...Hello?...Ash?" I gasped, dodging Ryan's fists as I spoke.
"Hunter? Why are you out of breath? Are you ok?!"
"...Yea..." I breathed deeply. "I'm...fine...."
"Where are you? I was gonna look for you but I don't know where anything is here..."
"I'm uhhh... I'm-."
Just as I was about to answer Ryan snatched the phone from my hand, turned it off, and tossed it to the side.
I threw another punch at him but he caught it before I could do any damage.
"Nice try." He smirked again. Then he twisted the fingers attached to my already broken knuckles, inflicting even more pain.
"Yoooouuuuuchhh!"
He chuckled, clearly amused by my pain. "Stop being such a baby and fight me. Oh wait, you're too weak. You'll never have a chance of winning."
My whole left hand was throbbing inside my cast and there was no way I would try to hit him with it again. Punching with my right hand would be a lost cause, so I was left with kicking.
He lunged at me again but that time I was prepared and I jumped out his way. When he turned to face me, I sent my foot flying into his shin, but he just shook it off.
"That was pathetic." He grabbed the collar of my onesie. "You look ridiculous, too."
"WHY DON'T YOU-."
"SHHHHHHH!! I see someone!" Ryan was looking in a window next to the door. "It's Ashlynn." My heart sped up at the sound of her name. "Go back inside from the entrance near the meet and greet room. Don't get seen. AND DON'T BREATHE A WORD OF THIS TO ANYONE, GOT IT?" His voice rose to a loud whisper.
"What about Ash-."
He released my collar. "I'll take care of that. After all, I'm the only one who actually has a chance with her." And with that, he snuck back inside.
I quickly looked in the window, thankful that it was dark both inside and outside so no one could see me. A little further down the hall, I saw Ash hugging Ryan. I couldn't bear to watch, so I bolted to the other side of the stadium. It hurt to see her embrace the guy that just beat me up and shoved the truth in my face. If only she knew...
