What is Love? (Ashton Irwin || AU)

Samantha || 15

~~I'M SORRY FOR THAT LAST CHAPTER IT WAS JUST A JOKE PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I PROMISE THIS IS A REAL CHAPTER. IT DOES START OUT THE SAME AS THE OTHER ONE BUT KEEP READING IT'S NOT ALL THE SAME!!~~

"Are we ever going to get out of here?" Miranda questions.

"Someday. I don't know when, hopefully soon, but someday." I respond. She nods her head. "Well um, I'm going to try and get some sleep. I've had enough kidnapping for one day." I say. I start to get settled on the bed when I hear the door handle to our room move. Miranda moves quickly from her spot over to sit next to me. We clutch on to each other's arms and hope for the best. The door opens and I have to blink a few times to make sure I'm actually seeing this. "Ash?" I whisper.

"Oh god Sammy." Ashton responds. I let go of Miranda and rush over to Ashton wrapping my arms around him tightly. "I'm so glad you're ok." He whispers into my neck.

"Ok you two can hug it out and shit later, right now you need to get us out of here!" Miranda says. Ashton and I let go of each other and look at her.

"She's right we need to go now. Who knows if those guys will come back tonight." Ashton says. Miranda rushes over to me and I grab her hand as Ashton grabs mine and we rush out of the room and to the door leading outside. Ashton leads us to the alley where there's a car. We pile into the car and Ashton instructs his mom to drive. She obeys and quickly drives away from the house.

"Can I use someone's phone? I need to call Michael. I need to tell him that I'm ok." Miranda says. Ashton hands back his phone and she quickly dials Michael's number. "Mikey?" She says into the phone. She pauses before speaking again. "Baby it's me. I'm fine. I miss you so much." She pauses again. "Go to Ashton's house. I'll have him text you his address. I love you." She pulls the phone away from her ear and hangs up. I rest my hand on top of hers and give her a small smile as she lets a few tears fall down her cheeks.

We reach Ashton's house and get out of the car. We rush inside and find Harry and Lauren passed out on the couch. Ashton walks through the house checking every room. He comes back and stands next to me.

"You're not going home tonight. And you're not staying in your room alone from now on. Not until those bastards are taken to prison." Ashton says.

"Shouldn't we call the police?" I ask.

"Mom's on it already." Ashton says pulling me close to him. There's a knock at the door and Ashton tenses up before letting me go and opening the door. He opens it to reveal Michael. Michael catches sight of Miranda and rushes inside, pulling her in a tight embrace. I smile at them and then turn away, letting them have their moment. I look at Harry and Lauren and start wondering why they are out here to begin with.

"Ashton?" I call.

"Yeah?" He says wrapping his arms around my shoulders and resting his chin on my head.

"Why are they out here?" I ask.

"Earlier I rushed in here after not finding you in your room and they heard everything. Mom told them to stay together and stay in here. We rushed out to find you and they stayed here. They were freaking out because you were gone. Harry thought you were never going to take him to the beach again." He says. I smile.

"Should we wake them up? You know so they can see I'm here." I say.

"Yeah." He responds. I walk out of his embrace and over to the couch. I kneel down and lightly shake them awake.

"Lauren. Harry. Wake up." They slowly open their eyes and sit up. "I'm home." Their eyes go wide and they both lunge at me in hugs.

"I'm so glad to see you." Lauren says.

"You will be able to take me to the beach again." Harry says. I laugh and hug them back.

"How about you guys go grab all the blankets and pillows you can find and we'll have a sleepover here in the living room?" I say. The kids nod their heads and run off.

"I like this idea." Ashton says from behind me. I stand up and turn around to face him.

"Yeah. I figured everyone is going to be on edge from everything, so why not have everyone sleep in one room together. That way we know where everyone is." I say.

"Alright. I gave the police the address of that house. They are going to go check it out and hopefully get those men. They said they'd call back when they have them in custody." Ann says. I smile. Hopefully they catch them.

"Great. Those bastards deserve to rot in prison." Michael says. Miranda laughs a little and hugs him tighter.

"Do you two want to stay here tonight? It'd probably be better than going to a hotel or something." I say. They both nod in response and I smile.

"Here, we got blankets and pillows." Lauren says as her and Harry walk into the room with their arms filled. We all go to help and we begin setting out the blankets and pillows in different spots where we want to sleep. Michael and Miranda sleep together, Ashton and I sleep together, Harry sleeps on the other side of me with Lauren next to him, and Ann takes the couch. We all snuggle under the blankets and one by one drift off to sleep.

HII! Once again I'm really sorry for that last chapter. My friend Miranda and I decided I should do it as a joke and kill everyone off and then just end the book. I swear it was a joke and I can promise from here on no one will die. I love you all!! :)
