Australian Love Affair

Devastation

Lucy's P.O.V.
I can't keep it in anymore....I need to tell Calum the truth....He deserves to know....I can't keep hiding it.....With all this frustration of keeping this secret, I start crying.
Dionne's P.O.V.
Me and Sophie are going to Lucy's house since all the boys wanted to play with Mickey. He's so big! I'm a proud auntie! I still can't believe Lucy is having a baby. Me and Sophie walk into Lucy's house, but there's no sign of her. Not outside, not in the kitchen or living room. We head upstairs and hear crying. We rush into Lucy's room and she sits on her bed,balling her eyes out. We engulf her in a big hug and calm her down a bit. 'You aren't.....really pregnant....are you?' I ask. 'I am but....' she just cries more. After awhile, she speaks. 'Remember the times before I told you's I was pregnant but then said I....I lied?' We nod. 'I was pregnant! All the times I said I was, I really was!' She says. Me and Sophie look at each other. 'What are you saying?' I ask. 'The twice before I said I was pregnant, I was but both times I....I had miscarriages.....' Lucy bursts into tears again. We pull her close. 'You need to tell Cal.' Sophie says. Lucy nods. We stay with Lucy all day till Calum gets home. When he sees Lucy has been crying all day, he pulls her close and demands to know. 'Baby, please don't get mad at me.'Lucy says. 'I promise I won't!' Cal says. 'Remember how I told you twice before I was pregnant then said I lied?' She asks. Cal nods. 'Well I actually had two miscarriages.' Lucy bursts into more tears. I watch as a tear rolls down Calum cheek. 'You're saying I was a daddy twice and you miscarried both times?' Lucy nods. Calum pulls Lucy into a tight hug. 'It's okay baby, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere.' We leave them to it. I can't believe that happened to Luce. It's devastating! I go to Ashton's house, knowing he's there. When Ashton sees me, he must've known something was wrong as he pulled me into a hug. 'What's wrong baby?' He asks, sitting me on the couch. 'L-Lucy!' I choke out. 'What's happened baby?!' He asks. 'She had
t-two miscarriages before this pregnancy!' 'So she didn't lie before?' I shake my head. Ashton comforts me all day.
Luke's P.O.V.
Today was fine...till I went to Casey's house. She was in a strange mood and that's why we're standing here arguing. After about 2 hours of arguing, Casey draws it up. 'I can't take this Luke! I never see you and when I do, you hardly pay attention to me so this is it I'm done! WE ARE OVER!' She storms off to the kitchen. 'Fine by me!' I say before leaving. She's right. We never see each other and it's cos honestly, this relationship was over weeks ago. I just don't feel that way about her anymore. I drive home and flop down on the couch playing video games.
~2 days later~
Dionne's P.O.V.
It's almost freaking christmas!!!! I love Christmas!!!! Especially these last few years with Ashton! Today Calum and Lucy are out Christmas shopping, Sophie and Michael are taking Mickey to the zoo and I have nothing to do. Neither does Luke or Ashton. Maybe we could all hang out. Suddenly my phone rings out. Ash. 'Hey Ashy.' 'Hey babe, listen I was wondering if you wanted to hang with Sophie or Lucy today as me and Luke have stuff to do.' He says. I sigh softly. 'Sure Ash. I'll see you later.' 'Cool, see ya, wuv woo babe.' he says. I giggle. 'I wuv woo too.' I then call Lucy. 'Yello?' She asks. I let out a laugh. 'Yello to you too. Can I come Christmas shopping with you and Calum?' I ask.'Sure hunny bun we'll pick you up in 10.' Luce says before hanging up. They arrive and we go to the mall. After dragging Calum around 8 shops, I got stuff for a few people. I got mom a beautiful sapphire necklace and earring set, I got Mickey a play pen and got Sophie a bracelet that says 'Sisters.Best Friends.'After about an hour of shopping, I get a call from Luke...

Ashton's P.O.V.
I pick Luke up and we go down town. We wanna stay away from the mall so we don't bump into Dionne and Lucy Christmas shopping. We walk around for a bit before Luke pulls me into a guitar shop. 'I'm getting Calum a new Bass strap. It's gonna have "Cal" all over it.' he says. I nod. After 20 minutes, I leave to go get Dionne something. I walk into Tiffany's and buy Dionne the Lucida ring with a diamond band. I know she'll love this I know she will...

After catching back up with Luke, we do a bit more shopping. After about 40 minutes in total of shopping, we decide to go for food. I get in the car while Luke is at the bathroom near the parking lot. I pull out the spot to meet him by the toilets. I pull out and drive down the road, it's a 2 minute drive to the bathrooms. I begin driving down the road and I'm almost there when I look in there rear view mirror and see the guy behind me is quite far behind. Oh well, I turn my eyes back to the road. I gasp loudly as a car is on the wrong side of road, driving straight at me. I try to swerve out the way but it's too late! -CRAAAAASSSSHHHH- After a good few minutes, I open my eyes partially. I look around and see I'm trapped under my crushed car. I feel blood trickling down my head. I can barely see. I then hear Luke call out. 'ASHTON!!! ASHTON!!!!' I try to call back but I can't! My eye sight goes but I can still hear Luke. He keeps screaming. I open my eyes lightly again, more blood pouring from my head. I look to the side and see a small gap to outside. I lean towards it but I'm still pretty trapped so I can only move so far. 'Luke.' I grumble. I see someone kneeling beside my totally wrecked car. Suddenly Luke's face appears as he lays flat on the Tarmac. 'ASH!' He shrieks. 'I've already called an ambulance! I think a few others have too! Hold on Ash, please hold on! There's a fire engine coming to get you out! You love fire engines buddy.' Luke keeps talking to keep my awake but it's not working too well. 'Luke....I don't know how long I have.....Just get Dionne....' I choke out. The pain in my body, especially my head, increases by the second. 'I'll call her right now Ash!' Luke takes out his phone. 'Luke....here....' I manage to get Dionne's ring out and give it to him. 'If I die......give this......to......Dionne.......' That's all I say before it all goes black....

Luke's P.O.V.
As soon as Ash passed out from blood loss,and the wrecked vehicle on top of him crushing his body, I called Dionne as quick as I could. 'Luke?' She asks. 'Dionne! It's Ashton!' I say, as I open the small box Ashton gave me and see a beautiful ring. Oh my god! Ashton is gonna.....'What's Ashton? What's wrong?!' Dionne asks.

Dionne's P.O.V.
'What's Ashton? What's wrong?!' I ask. 'He was.....Ashton was.....he was in a car crash! A guy was on the wrong side of the road and smashed right into him! The guy behind him smashed into him too! He's totally crushed under his car!' Luke chokes out. I feel as if....my heart stops beating.....like my blood has run cold.....like my entire world just stopped......Lucy shakes me suddenly. 'Dionne?! What's wrong?!?!' She asks. 'Ashton.....was in.....a car crash.....' Lucy and Calum instantly pull me to the car and Luke tells me his location. Once we arrive, Calum takes Luke into the car with all his and Ashton's bags. They were christmas shopping.....and now Ash might not get to see christmas this year...or ever again... I rush over to Ashton's car with Lucy. 'Mam, you can't be over here.' A fireman says. 'THAT IS MY BOYFRIEND AND I AM NOT LEAVING HIM!' I yell. The man looks startled so just nods. After awhile, they free Ashton. I find Ash's phone and funnily enough, it's only scratched. Ashton's head is covered in blood and he has cuts all over. I go to the hospital with him and Luke. I call Sophie and tell her. Her and Michael bring Mickey to the hospital so all of us are all in the waiting room while Ashton gets cleaned up. Once we're aloud in, I sit and cry at his side. 'I can't loose you Ash. I love you!' I say. Me, Luke, Calum, Michael, Lucy, Sophie and Mickey all sit around hoping Ashton will recover soon.....

It's been 3 days since Ashton's accident. It's still unconscious. He has a sprained ankle and he's gonna have a scar on his forehead but otherwise he just has light cuts and bruises. Ashton didn't deserve this! Ashton doesn't deserve to be lying here unconscious because of some arsehole! Ashton's mom turned up with his brother and sister. Everyone stays in the waiting room except Sophie and Michael as they took Mickey home. Ashton's mom took his sister, Lauren, to see Luke since she knows he's close to Ash and she wanted to sit with him. She left me with his little brother Harry. Me and Harry sit there and have a nice conversation till we hear groans coming from beside us. Our heads shoot up and we both gasp. 'Fuck my leg hurts. Ow my head.' Ash groans, opening his eyes. 'ASHTON!!!' Me and Harry scream rushing to his side. 'Harry.Dionne.' Ash whispers. 'Babe, we're here. Everyone's here. Cal, Luke, Lauren, your mom. But Sophie and Mikey are at home with Mickey.' Ash nods. 'Get my mom and Lauren for me.' he asks. 'I'll get them Ash!' Harry says. Ashton lets out a low chuckle. 'Come here a minute buddy.' Ash says. I step back and let Harry step towards Ash. 'Thank you for staying buddy, you're the best little brother in the world.' Ashton says, running his hand through Harry's hair. I feel the tears water in my eyes at the cuteness. Harry rushes out the room. Ashton smiles at me. 'Come here babe.' Ash says. I lay my head lightly on his chest. 'I love you so much babe.' Ash mumbles against my hair. 'I love you too Ash.' I mumble against his chest, as tears slip down my face. Once Ash notices my tears, he pulls me closer. 'I'm here babe, I'm not leaving you. I've got you.' Harry then rushes in with Lauren and his mom. 'Ash!' Lauren shrieks and I move back and let her in to hug him. Ashton's mom gives me a hug and pulls Harry into the hug too. After 20 minutes, Ashton's family leave and Luke, Cal and Lucy come in. And I'm surprised to see Michael. 'Hey! When did you get here?' I ask. '10 minutes ago!' He says and I laugh. Sophie walks in with Mickey. 'Hey! Bring him to cuddle Uncle Ashton!' Sophie sits Mickey on Ashton's chest and plays with him while we all laugh. By the end of the day, Ashton is feeling much better.

Later that night, I go to Ashton's doctor. 'Excuse me, Dr Andrews? I was wondering if you could tell me the name of the guy who crashed into Ashton? I'm curious.' I say. Mr Andrews nods. 'His name was Bob Gallagher. He was drunk driving when he crashed into Ashton.' He says. Typical. 'Would I be able to see him?' I ask. 'Actually no, you would probably yell at him anyway but Mr Gallagher died on the scene.' 'Oh.' I say. 'Wait, what about the other car from behind Ashton?' I ask. 'It was a man and woman. Irene and Peter Nolan. They survived with minor injuries just like your Ashton.' I giggle softly. 'That's good to hear.' Dr Andrews suddenly pulls me towards a hospital room. I'm not getting raped right? He pulls me into a room with a man and woman and I let out a sigh of relieve. 'Dionne, this is Irene and Peter Nolan. Mr and Mrs Nolan this is Dionne, she's Mr Irwin's girlfriend.' The couple smile softly. 'Hello Dionne, how is Ashton?' Irene asks. 'He's good, thanks, he woke up today and he feels so much better, he was sitting playing with my nephew today.' I smile softly. 'How are you's?' I ask. 'We're good, thanks.' Peter says. I speak with them for a bit before going to say goodnight to Ashton. I give him a soft kiss before leaving with Sophie. I'm staying at her house tonight.
