Voodoo Doll

Chapter 105

Carson

Nothing really went on before Anna woke up.

Until, it happened.
*
-1 day before-

"Oh my god." Ashton whispered. "Oh my...shit."

I looked up at him, curious. "What?"

"I just finished talking to the doctor." Ashton looked, away, his eyes wet. "She might be in a coma. And...you know...never wake up."

I had forgotten Michael was there too, everyone else had gone to the tour bus to get clothes and clean up.

"W-what?" He whimpered. He had this scared look on his face, like a little kid afraid of monsters under his bed.

Ashton turned to stare at him. "Anna might never. Ever. Wake up again, okay buddy? Can you comprehend that?"

Hands clenched into fists, mMichael pushed himself up. "Yeah. And she not your girlfriend, she's mine."

"But did she kiss you while she was dating me? Nope! Well she kissed me in a closet, secretly, and damn, it's was hot."

"Dude!shut up the hell up!" Michael shoved Ashton, and I stood there, dumbfounded.

"Make me!"

Michael pulled back his fist, and I decided to jump in. "Woah." I said, pushing his hand down.

I turned to Ashton, shaking his shoulders.

"You need to sit down, and stop acting like a douche."

Ashton rolled his hand, pulling out of my grasp, and stepping in front of me.

"Look-Michael- this is all your fault. If you had been watching her better-"

Michael eyes filled with tears. He pulled back his fist, and before I could do anything, hit Ashton square in the jaw. "Shut the f*** up Ashton. You don't know how bad I feel already-okay? I don't need your smart ass remarks, okay? How would you know how Anna feels? She doesn't love you."

Ashton tackled Michael to the ground, punching left and right.

I stood frozen in my place, as everyone around was oblivious, except for a little boy cheering Michael on.

"Oh yeah?" Ashton laughed as he climbed off Michael. "Baby she loved me first."

Michael let out a weak laugh. "If she really loved the first person, she wouldn't have fallen for the second."

Kicking Michael in the side, Ashton grinned. "Then why did she say in the ambulance after I told her I loved her- that she's loves me too?"

Sitting faster then I've ever seen him move, a Michael flew up. "No. No she didn't!"

Ashton beamed, "oh but she did." He turned to me. "Remember Carson?"

Not wanting to get in the middle of this, but for some reason, I suddenly felt as if Michael deserved someone better. "I vaguely do."

I did, I saw Ashton whisper something to her after Michael proclaimed his love for Anna, and then Anna mumbled something along the lines of. "Love...l-love...you too."

Michael looked at me in disbelief. " no. No! But...I had just..." He shook his head. "No." And with that, he ran off.

-present-

We didn't see Michael until after Anna woke up.

But once Anna did wake up, I was the second person to see her.

She looked frail, but was up and eating soup.

"So." I said, coming in alone and shutting the door behind me. "I heard you have pneumonia."
