 Ashley's POV

I asked everyone to come to a dinner I'm having at my friend Harry's house. Everyone shows up, Niall, Mackenzie, Calum, Emily, Anna, Donna, and Morgan. I sit at the end of the table, I made a turkey and all kinds of food (for Emily). 

"Guys before we dig in to this good food." 

"I have to say that me and Emily are in a relationship, and we are deciding to move in with each other."

Everyone cheers and claps and I'm just so happy.

"I bet Luke would've loved this dinner." Morgan says.

"I also have an announcement." I say.

"I am going to work for the FBI working on this case. I will catch whoever hurt us." I say.

Emily has tears streaming down her face. 

"Michael loved you so much as a friend."  Emily says.

Calum hugs her in comfort and kisses her lightly on the cheek. 

We eat our food and I stand up to raise a glass.

"Can we all please have some silence for the death of Michael Gordon Clifford." I say with tears rolling down my face.

"And Luke," Morgan says looking at her food.

As we have our silence Luke walks into the room.

"Hi guys, I finally escaped."

"Oh my God Luke!" Morgan says running to him and kissing him.

"Babe I missed you so much." He says kissing her more.

"Luke what did they do to you?" Mackenzie says squinting at him.

"Well maybe you can tell everybody."

"Why is that Luke? Are you saying I'm a part of this!" 

"Yes I am Kenzie, why in the fuck would you do that to me?"

"Mackenzie, what is he talking about?" Anna says, turning her around.

"Nothing, guys, I'm outta here." She says throwing down her fork and walking out.

I run after her,

"Mackenzie!" I yell finally catching up.

I breathe heavily and talk to her.

"Look Ashley you don't need to know this, look I wanna be alone right now okay." She walks away into the darkness. 

I walk back in.

"Luke, please tell me what's going on." Morgan says.

"Look, guys she is the one that kidnapped me. She almost killed me, and it seems like she didn't even know."

"Luke, I think you got the wrong person." I say.

"No Ashley trust me it's her! I'm not stupid!" 

"No you're not stupid but Kenzie wouldn't even hurt a fly!" Anna says.

"Look it might be my mistake, but I'm telling you the person really looked like her." He says.

After the dinner

I walk to the hospital thinking of what Luke is talking about.

Could she really be the killer?

Could this all be a mistake. Because I think so.

But I'm not for sure.

I walk in and almost run to the front desk.

"Hello may I see Ashton Irwin?"

"Yes Ms.Elswick room 412."

"Thank you nurse."

I go into the elevator all alone. It's empty and the annoying music is playing.

On floor 2, The light burns out and I feel a blunt object hit my head. It keeps hitting me and hitting me until I eventually past out.

I wake up in a hospital room, no I'm not hooked up to anything, and I'm not even in a hospital bed.

I'm laying on a table, as a nurse walks in and sees I'm awake.

"Ms. Elswick, you were unconscious in the elevator. It seemed like someone hit you."

"Y-yeah, the lights went out and I felt someone hitting my head with something."

"But, there was no one in the elevator. How could someone else hit you?" She says looking at me weird.

"I don't know nurse, this is all very confusing." I say looking across the room.

"Well, go ahead and see Ashton, if your head hurts please call or come."

"Yes nurse I will." I say walking out.

I finally reach room 412.

I walk in seeing Ashton reading a book.

"Hey Ash, hows that kidney I gave ya?" I say with a smirk.

He puts down his book and only says.

"Good. Missing it any?"

"Haha, very funny, yes now I have to drink less alcohol." I say laughing with him.

"Well sorry for the needing of the kidney. It's my fault, I should've just let you speak." He says, brushing some hair behind my ear.

"No Ashton, I would've done the same thing. But it's my fault I dragged you into this."

"Ashley don't be silly, it's my fault. Why don't we just let it go."

"Yes, that would be the best thing to do." I say smiling at him.

Silence fills the room for a couple minutes until I speak,

"Oh Ashton I brought you some dinner, since you couldn't come tonight." I say, handing him a bag with a box of the food he likes.

"Thank you Ashley, Anna told me about Luke. I was so happy I accidently hit the nurse's call button."

We start cracking up,

"What's you say?" I said.

"I told her my friend turns out not to be dead. Right after I said that she walked back to her station."

Silence comes again,

"Hey I get out of this stupid place in about 2 days." he says.

"That's awesome, want me to get Luke to pick you up?" I say.

"Yes please, thank you for doing that for me."

"Anytime Ash, anytime."

He looks down as tears fill his eyes,

"Ashton, what's wro-" 

I am interrupted with a kiss,

"I've always wanted to do that Ashley, I've always liked you." 

He says, holding my chin, and locking his beautiful green orbs with my ugly blue ones.

"Ashton, I've always loved you too."
