You Found Me

Chapter 22

~Luke's POV~

Ashton showed up a bit late to band rehearsal today. He told us everything that happened last night and honestly, I'm super happy for him. He has been in an extremely happy mood all day. 

After a couple hours of running through new tunes and writing down new tracks, we all take a short break.

Michael and I walk to the kitchen to grab something to eat. He fixes us a microwave pizza to split as I train my eyes on the television a few feet away.

Someone had left it on from earlier and it was on a breaking news story. The screen displayed a flipped over silver BMW, just like my sister's. The car is wrecked and I quickly turn up the volume, suddenly interested. Mike stands just a couple inches behind me, now paying attention as well. 

"The crash occurred approximately half an hour ago. A young man bravely broke the window and pulled the driver out. The accident could be fatal, but as of right now the young woman is still alive. Details about her injuries are not confirmed however we do know who she is. The lady being strapped in the stretcher directly behind me is confirmed to be Kaitlyn Hemmings, Luke Hemmings' older sister and Ashton Irwin's girlfriend. It is believed that she was on her way home from somewhere and was texting someone. She is being taken to Mater Hospital as soon as possible. Our prayers go out to her friends and family." 

My stomach lurched and tears pricked at the corners of my eyes.

"Luke." Michael places a hand on my shoulder.

"NO! WHY HER!? NO!!!" I screamed and threw a pillow across the room.

"Luke what the hell?" Ashton and Calum appear in the doorway. 

"She's hurt Ashton! The crash! We need to go." He didn't even blink, only stared into space.

"Let's go."

On the way there, Michael explained what happened to the other two. Ashton sobbed uncontrollably and Cal tried to comfort us. We parked and ran into the main entrance.

"Is Kaitlyn Hemmings here?" Michael calmly asked the lady at the desk. She took her sweet ass time before finally nodding. Then she added, "Visitors aren't permitted though. She's still being examined by the doctor." 

I run my hands through my hair and bite my lip to stay quiet.

God please tell me my sister is alright.

~Ashton's POV~

We have been sitting on these stupid hospital chairs for over three hours. People have come and gone but I won't move. I can't help but feel responsible for this all. She was reading my text. It's my fault. I didn't dare say a word. We are all in deep sorrow and tired, but we won't leave until we know how she is. 

As if he read my mind, the doctor came out to find Luke.

"You're her only family here at the moment?" 

"Yes I'm her brother Luke." The man leads Luke away from us and explains something to him. His hand motions tick me off. Luke seems even more stressed when he returns to his seat.

"Well?" Calum asks.

"We can see her tomorrow morning." He sighs.

"Oh thank heavens she's alright." Relief runs through my mind.

"No Ashton you don't understand. We can see her, but she won't see us. Kaitlyn is in a coma, and they aren't sure if she'll make it more than a week." I see a tear run down his cheek.

My throat hitches and I feel trapped inside a box. I need air. Not her. This can't happen to Katie. She's too beautiful and perfect for this to happen to her. I can't believe it. She didn't deserve this at all.

With that, I storm out of the hospital.

A/N- double update woohoo! Hope you enjoy it, although it is sad...keep reading love you guys!
