Lukes P.O.V
Suddenly I'm pulled out of the bathroom by our manger.
"What the hell is wrong with Ashton?" He ask
"What do you mean?" I swear he is just an attention seeker. Why is this my issue? I say, anxiety consuming me. Trying to hide it the best I can.
What happened to Ashton? I should have pressed further? I knew something was wrong earlier.
"Did you not see the EMTs come in here?!? Are you that blind? Michael and Calum watched him pass out!" He yells at me
"What's wrong with Ashton?" I ask, honestly I don't care. He's been bitchy lately and is being over the top. My inner thoughts conflicting between concern and not caring.
"He passed out on the ground with a 104.2 degree fever! Now tell me what's going on!" Our manager shouts.
"Honestly I have no clue." I say trying to play it off.
"Come on....lets go." My manger says with a very more calm tone, as he signals for me to follow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the short car ride to the hospital with the other boys we are informed by Ashtons doctor that he has an infection, but they can't tell us anything else.
"Can I see him." I ask
"They are still working on him, just cleaning him up. So I guess you can. Only two can come back." The doctor states to us.
Why are they cleaning him up? If it's just an infection? Dramatic as always. He doesn't take care of himself, I swear.
I follow the doctor along with our manger back to Ashton's room.
When we get to the door, I'm the first one in, the manager lingering around the door way. I stop dead in my tracks. Staring at his body in that hospital bed, not fully comprehending what's going on. The machines and Iv's make everything seem real. I don't think he's faking this. I look at him, pale, lifeless, eyes open to the world but nothing behind them. He's just sitting up and staring into space. I look at his arm, one of them wrapped in white gauze.
"Why is your wrist wrapped?" I ask. Not knowing if I want to know the answer.
No response.....
I look down towards the ground, not knowing what to say now
I look up to catch his gaze.
His are filled with no emotion, while mine are filled with to much. I take a few steps towards him trying not to scare him.
He's not an animal, don't treat him like a scared one , he's a human you know.
"Hey." He says, turning his eyes towards the ground, not even looking me in the eyes.
"Is this what I think it is?" I say angry, realizing what's going on now.
No response.
"Why would you do this to yourself? You haven't done it since high-school, why start again? You where doing so well?" I shout.
Rage is building up inside me. I'm angry at myself and at him. But if I show the anger to him I know... he'll never speak to me again. I need to get myself in check. I cannot do this, not here, not now.
