Star Gaze

Closer

Hi! Wasn't Scarlett's plan kind of genius? We could all tell it took her years to think of the perfect plan. Do you think it's actually going to work? (Up there is Scar and Ash's bowl of spaghetti)
Enjoy:)

I RAN THROUGH the hospital as fast as I could.

I had the only thing that could save mom's life.

Pot of Sill. One of the best healers throughout history.

I reached her room and went to open the pot. It had turned into a jar and I couldn't get the medicine out.

All doctors stared at me. They crept closer to me.

I could hear mumbling from everyone else in the room. I couldn't recognize them. I couldn't see well either. My glasses had fallen on the way here. I heard the beeping sound come from mom's machine.

"Sorry, Scarlett. Your late. She's dead." One doctor said to me blankly.

Everyone in the room started laughing. I tried to get out of the room but I wasn't strong enough to open the gray metal door.

"Failure!" One person shouted.

"Aww, she's gonna cry." Everyone bursted out laughing.

Then it hit me.

Mom was dead.

And I was next.

"MOM!" I screamed, crying and panicking. Ashton rose up alerted.

"She's gone..." I continued crying, I couldn't quite catch my breath either.

Ashton took me and hugged me tight. Pulling the blankets closer to us.

"Shhhh... It was just a dream, Scar." He tried to calm me down and I rose up to catch my breath.

"But-but there was...and a doctor...laughing...my mom's dead and he said I'm next." I moved closer to him feeling scared of the darkness, suddenly.

"Scar, I'm never going to let anyone hurt you, ok? Neither is Amelia, or your dad. Come on, it's 3 in the morning."

He pulled me closer to him and I didn't refuse. I buried my head into his chest as he stroked my back.

I fell asleep to the sound of his humming.

I woke up at 10:30 and Ashton was still sleeping. I laid there looking at him.

Was this creepy? Nah....

I touched his face gently and put my hand on his cheek. His eyes opened slowly as he pulled me closer to him.

"I won't let anyone hurt you, ok beautiful?"

I nodded and kissed his cheek.

"The nightmare... I have it a lot. It's always the same. I'm in the hospital with my mom almost dying and then I come and it's too late. People laugh and the doctor says 'your next'."

"But what do you do when your home alone?"

"I would sleep with the light on. Who knows what happens if I don't. I would start seeing stuff and destroy my entire room with a bat."

I lightly giggled at the thought.

It was only 12:34 p.m and we were already bored. An idea hit me.

"How about we play some music?"

"What instruments?"

"I have a drum kit and few electric guitars in the music room."

"There's a music room?" He looked around and stopped at the door leading to the basement.

I stood behind him and hung my arms over his shoulders.

We went down there and Ashton looked astonished.

"How come you never told me about this?" He sat at the drums seat and took the sticks.

"I didn't know you played." I smiled at the sight of him on the drums. It suited him very well.

"Yeah me neither. You play guitar?"

"Yeah. Electric and acoustic." I shrugged. I had been playing for several years so it didn't seem like a big deal to me anymore. It definitely was a big deal to Ash, though.

"What song?" He asked, getting ready.

"I want it slow and steady... Oceans by Hillsong."

"Good choice." He grinned at me and I walked over to the microphone and plugged my guitar in for extra sound.

"You call me out upon the waters. The great unknown, where feet may fail. And there I find you in the mystery. In oceans deep, my faith will stand."

We sang more songs and had fun with the instruments. I ended up crying from laughing so hard at Ashton trying to play guitar.

"Wanna get food now?"

"Sure." Ashton and I went upstairs to find only a couple things we could work with: Spaghetti, tomato sauce and leftover Chinese.

"Okay, okay" Ashton waved his hands and nodded, "I can work with this."

1 hour later we had a tub full of spaghetti and meatballs. Whoops.

"Who knew I could eat so many plates of spaghetti in half an hour?" I yelled wiping my mouth with the napkin near me.

"Same." We both laughed and continued watching a rerun of Stranger Things from my TV.

It was about 4:00 and that only meant one thing.

It was time to call mom. I grabbed the phone and dialed her number.

Ashton put his arm around me and gave me a, we're in this together, look.

"Hello?" A women said from the phone. My heart was on a treadmill.

"Hi. I am Luna Cary, a modeling agent from the northeast. We have seen you modeling and have some big offers for you. Would you be interested in meeting us?"

I pulled at my heart so it wouldn't jump out.

Would she say yes?

Will she actually agree?
