Smile (Ashton Irwin || A.u) *discontinued*

Chapter 11

|| Miss Jackson - Panic! at the Disco ||

Alicia woke up to the sounds of screaming down the corridor. She glanced up at her clock and saw that it was early morning.

She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and ran her fingers quickly through her hair, attempting to make it presentable.

She peeped her head around her door and saw that the other patients were doing the same.

The screams were coming from the medical ward. Alicia's mind sprung to Ashton and her legs automatically began running. She didn't care about the state of her hair or that she was wearing shorts and a tank, revealing her scars, just about Ashton.

Alicia burst through the double doors leading to a small room that the patients go for their medication. A small corridor next to the reception desk let to a small infirmary, only used when a patient is severely injured.

The screams were much louder and echoed in the corridor. Despite the receptionists protest, Alicia ran into the corridor and scanned the rooms for Ashton.

She turned her head left and was met by Ashton thrashing around in the hospital bed, screaming at the top if his lungs. A nurse was holding a needle, trying to inject it into him.

Alicia barged into the room and ran up the Ashton's bed. The nurse looked at her with disgust.

"You can't be in here!" She sent Alicia a look as she attempted to shove her out the room.

Ashton noticed Alicia presence and held out his arms towards her, screaming at her.

Alicia felt a sudden urge of responsibility and anger. She wanted to hurt the nurse for hurting Ashton. She looked back over at the nurse and pushed her questions to the back of her mind.

"I have to you bitch! What the fuck do you think you are doing!?" Alicia shoves the nurse into the side containing the sterile equipment.

"Get out now." The nurse put the needle on the side as Alicia ignored her, rushing over to Ashton.

His curls were stuck to his forehead with sweat. He stopped thrashing and lauded still as Alicia removed the connected hospital equipment from him. She grabbed his back and leaned him forward, resting his arm around her shoulder.

Alicia looked at Ashton and hugged him tightly. She wrapped her arms around him and ignored the fact that he was sweating and breathing heavily.

"Ash, shh it's just me. Breath. Breath shh.." Alicia hugged him tighter as his breathing rate slowed. He pulled away from the hug, his hazel eyes rimmed with tears.

"T-they hurt me." His voice scratched as Alicia's heart pained. She grabbed his hand as the nurse leaned against the side, her arms folded.

"And where do you think your going?" She raised her eyebrow as Alicia sent her a dirty look. She propped Ashton against the side and walked up the the nurse.

"If you ever touch him again, I will not hesitate to kill you. Do what you want with me, but one finger on him and I will butcher you. Understand?" The nurses face went white as Alicia scowled at her. She nodded faintly as Alicia went back over to Ashton, wrapping her arm around his waist.

Ashton leaned against her as she helped him out the room and back into her bedroom. She laid him down on her bed and shut the door behind her. Instead of locking it (as the rehab banned locks) she shoved her chair against it, barricading the door.

She grabbed one of her clean tops and handed it to Ashton. "Here. Wipe your face." Ashton grabbed the top and scrubbed his face.

Alicia opened her draws and grabbed a bunch on clothes, dumping them on the floor as a substitution pillow. She grabbed one of her many dressing gowns and laid on the floor.

"A-Alicia?" She looked up to see Ashton's face peering at her over the side of her bed.

"Yeah?" She sat up and looked at him. "Are you alright?"

He sat up and looked at her. "I-I.. Well would you... You know.." He blushed twiddling with his thumbs.

Alicia looked back at him, confused. "Ash, just say it."

"W-well, would you cuddle with me - no it's a stupid idea. J-just ignore me." He laid back down and pulled the blankets around himself, embarrassed.

"Ash..." Alicia stood up and poked his back. He turned over and saw her smiling at him. He pushed himself as far against the wall as possible as Alicia slid in next to him.

"I-I don't like it this way." Ash turned around and looked at Alicia, even in the darkness she noticed him blush.

"Well, do you wanna swap?" Alicia raised her eyebrows at Ashton as he smiled at her, showing his dimples.

"Yes please." Alicia sighed and stood up on the bed. She waited till Ashton had budged over on the bed before sliding next to the wall.

"Is this better?" She chuckled as she felt Ashton's arm snake around her waist.

"Much better."
