Ashton's P.O.V - Mood: Fix You~Coldplay

Her heart rate has been steady for a while. Beat after beat on the monitor, like drops of water falling from the sky. I remember how she used to say that when it rained it was her sister was weeping.
I held her hand, squeezing it gently, careful not to touch the IV's in her wrist. I hardly notice how cold her hand is because I am too concentrated on her facial features. They have been frozen for what seems like eternity with her skin almost as pale as the hospital walls.
~~
Then my life changed forever.
~~
The monitor started to slow down and her face scrunched together. The monitor's beeping decreased as I shook her shoulder.
"Help!" I yelled "Please, someone, anyone! Come quickly! Please help!" A single tear rolled down my cheek as doctors and nurses rushed into the room. Everything was a blur, people were rushing around me in a haze but all I could concentrate on was her hand, it was barely squeezing my own, almost keeping me sane and reassuring me that everything will be okay.
The single tear that was on my face turned into many.
"Don't you dare die on me!" I cupped her head under my hand and leaned in to kiss her cheek for what may be the last time - but a man stood in front of me blocking my path to her.
"I'm sorry sir but we will need to perform medical tests and procedures on the girl and you can't be in the room" I glanced at her and the machine which was still slowing down.
"You don't understand sir I need to be there, I need to see her I-" I pushed past him to get to her but as soon as I was close to her the monitor started fading.
"No baby! I can't lose you!"
I fell to my knees crying. It's like my whole world was collapsing in on me.
"I'm sorry sir you're going to have to leave. She's gone now." One of the doctors say.
"No, no she can't be. You need to save her!" I was still sobbing and holding her hand, I couldn't bring myself to look into her eyes.
"Sir, she's gone. You need to leave." The doctor started walking towards her body to cover it with a cloth.
"Okay, just let me say goodbye." I sobbed
I walk over to her. She doesn't deserve this, it should have been me. I leaned down and kissed her on the cheek .
"I love you Charlie." I whispered against her.
~~
I fell empty, seeing her body just laying there. Lifeless, limp and helpless.
She was trying to say everything would be okay by squeezing my hand, but I knew it wasn't going to be, because she was my everything, and now she's gone. And it's was all my fault.

Questions of the chapter: Who do you think Charlie is, and what is her relationship with Ashton?

P.S. Did anybody get the American Horror Story reference. ;)
