Cody Christian, Theo Raeken, & Asher Adams Imagines

Part 7: Not the 'She' He Was Asking For - Asher Adams

A/N: I knew exactly what I was going to do for the next chapter the second I saw the previews/promo to last night's episode two weeks ago. Then, as I wrote it, Grey's Anatomy inspired me even more. 😉 Enjoy!

"I'm glad you two worked it out," Coach Baker smiled as he drove and took another sip of his coffee. Jordan turned back to see Asher in the backseat smiling. Given everything that's happened, he was glad to finally see a smile on Asher's face. Jordan didn't like that Asher slept with Olivia, but he explained what happened. Not just with Olivia, but losing his home and his mom walking out on him and his dad. Again, although he doesn't like that Asher slept with his sister, Jordan regrets giving him a hard time lately. Asher never took advantage of Olivia. He's hurting without having his best friend in his life, and who knows what's going on with him and Lelia. Jordan didn't want to ask any more questions when Asher told him everything, at least not right now. Right now, he just wants to enjoy this moment with his dad and his best friend.

"Breaking news!" Coach Baker turned up the radio. "Just minutes ago, there was a shooting at Crenshaw during Chynna Q's concert. The police have confirmed it was related to gang violence and one died at the scene. Several have been rushed to the hospital-"

"Jordan, wasn't Olivia going there?" Coach Baker asked in a panic voice.

"She said she was going with Lelia," Jordan said as he reached for his phone in his pocket and immediately called his sister.

Asher quickly grabbed his phone and called Lelia.

"Asher-"

"Please tell me your okay," he immediately said.

"Yes." Asher closed his eyes as he left out a sigh of relief. Now, he'd only hope Jordan could say Olivia was okay too.

"But I cant find them and they're not answering."

Asher's eyes immediately opened. His gut instinct was telling him something was wrong. "Who?"

"Spencer and Y/N. Olivia said Coop isn't answering either."

Asher's heart dropped to his stomach the second Lelia said Y/N's name. Asher didn't even say goodbye to Lelia. He just hung up and immediately called Y/N.

"Hey, it's Y/N!" Her voicemail started playing after several rings. Asher whispered 'damn it' under his breath as he called her again.

"Olivia's fine," Jordan said. Asher saw a flood of relief washing over both Jordan and Coach Baker. "She said she can't find Y/N-"

Asher tuned out and focused on the ring until Y/N's voicemail came on again. Asher tried again, and again, and again.

"Damn it!" Asher growled as he punched the back of Jordan's seat. Asher's chest started to get tight. His vision blurred. The noise around him echoed in his eardrums. The thought of Y/N not answering his calls... the thought of her being hurt, or possibly even worse crossed his mind and he couldn't get it out. He couldn't help but think the worst. What if she had gotten shot? If she did, what are the chances she'll walk away without any severe damage? What if .... she didn't make it?

"Hey! Hey!" Jordan said as he shook Asher's shoulder. Asher looked up and realized Coach Baker had pulled over on the side of the road.

"Breath, son," Coach Baker said before he started taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, signaling Asher to mirror his breathing.

Asher blinked his tear filled eyes profusely. He ignored his coach as he shook his head. He held on to Jordan's forearms tightly.

"Jordan, she has to be okay." Asher's voice cracked. "She has to," he let out a sob.
