New egoshipping story :) I was going to wait until I wrote this but I got overexcited and before I knew it the first chapter had been written.
Also, this will be my last update for a while as I'm going on holiday this week just thought I'd let people know
Hope you like it :)
…
Misty was sat in her boyfriend's living room, his mum was out of town so naturally she was the first person he'd called. Granted his other friends where there now but they'd been a second thought to the boy, Misty always came first. The alcohol was flowing, as often did when he was home alone but right now that didn't matter, he was drunk on his girlfriend, better than any high that could be achieved from any other substance.
"You really are gorgeous." Ash mumbled, burying his face in his girlfriend's auburn hair. "Did you know that?"
"Considering you tell me every day I sort of figured as much. I'm beginning to think you only like me for my looks." Misty joked, she knew his love ran deeper than that and he liked to remind her of that whenever he had the chance.
"You're right, I like you for your looks." He said, pulling her onto his lap. "But I love you for everything else." He whispered before pressing his lips against hers.
Misty smiled into the kiss and soon felt herself melting on the inside, a moan escaping her throat as she felt his tongue exploring her mouth, it didn't matter how long they were together she still got the same tingles and butterfrees every time he touched her.
"I need to get out." May complained, her speech slurred from the amount she'd drunk.
"There's a party down the road, at Brock's." Drew said, dancing to the music he insisted was played, the rhythm flowing through him in what his drunk mind thought was graceful moves, but sadly he was wrong.
"Then let's go." May nodded enthusiastically, turning to the couple still wrapped up in each other on the sofa. "Excuse me!" She cried when she realised she was being ignored.
"One minute." Ash muttered, separating his lips from Misty's briefly but capturing them again as soon as the statement had left his mouth.
"Misty put that boy down right now!" May screeched, Drew instinctively pulled his hands up to his ears for protection and successfully threw his drink over his shoulder and onto the radio.
"Jesus May." Misty said, looking over her shoulder at her friend who had rudely interrupted her. "What the hell was that for?"
"We're going to Brock's party." She said, grabbing hold of Misty's hand and pulling her off the sofa, falling over in the process.
"And how do you propose we get there?" Misty asked, stumbling slightly as her head spun at the sudden movement.
"I think this radio is broken." Drew said, moving his hands from his ears and frantically pressing buttons.
"Simple, I'll drive." May smiled, grabbing onto the table and pulling herself up.
"Yeah, that's definitely broken." Drew continued, being ignored by everyone in the room.
"You're drunk." Misty sighed.
"I'm not drunk, you're drunk!" May accused, crossing her arms.
"Someone broke the radio." Drew said, taking a step back and holding his hands up in innocence.
"I'll drive." Ash said, standing up and shooting a glare at Drew, clearly not everyone was ignoring him.
"This is ridiculous, nobody is driving." Misty shouted.
Brock's parties were always fun, loud music, free drinks, access to a pool, but they'd all drunk too much. His parties were good but not worth putting their lives at risk for.
"I've only had three drinks, I'm practically sober." Ash reassured her, wrapping his arms around her and bringing his head to rest on her shoulders.
"I don't know." Misty bit her lip. "What if we get hurt?" She turned around in his arms and looked in Ash's eyes, she needed him to convince her they'd be fine, she needed him to reassure her.
"Have I ever hurt you before?" Ash asked.
"No." Misty shook her head, a small smile on her lips.
"So why would I start now?" Without waiting for an answer Ash brought his lips down to hers for a quick kiss.
"We're going?" May asked hopefully when they separated.
"Yeah, we're going." Misty nodded.
May let out a cheer before grabbing Drew's arm and pulling him out the house towards the car. Misty laughed slightly before heading in the same direction, picking up the keys Ash went to follow after them, tripping slightly as he went.
If Misty had seen him she would have changed her mind, if she'd have noticed how he held his arms out slightly to keep his balance she would have marched everyone back in the house. But she didn't see and blindly got into the car, thinking she was safe in her boyfriend's hands.
…
The car sped down one of the many deserted roads on the journey to Brock's house, darkened by overgrown trees blocking the occasional streetlamp. Ash's vision had seemed perfect back in his house but now on the dark street's he had to squint to make anything clear.
"I'm so excited." May cried, stroking Drew's hair as he sat in the seat in front of her.
Misty smiled to herself as she took a swig from the bottle of vodka they'd brought with them. May always managed to find little excuses to touch Drew, although she'd never admitted it Misty was sure she liked him, and not just in a friendly way.
"You act like we never let you out the house." Misty laughed, passing the bottle towards May.
"You don't." She pouted before bringing the bottle towards her lips and taking a swig too.
"Shit!" Ash's voice broke out, a hoothoot flying in front of the car.
In an attempt to avoid the bird Ash swerved the car to the other side of the road, causing Misty and May to scream as they were thrown about in the backseat. Taking deep breaths, Ash regained control of the car and moved back onto the right side of the road.
"Is everyone okay?" He asked, his heart beating double time.
"What the fuck just happened?" May asked, looking at her now wet shirt.
"It was a hoothoot, the little shit came out of nowhere and gave me a heart attack." Ash laughed slightly.
"Don't laugh." Misty shouted, smacking his head. "We almost died!"
She reached over and grabbed the bottle out of May's hand before taking a big gulp to calm her nerves.
"Hey ladies, share!" Drew complained from the front of the car.
May stole the bottle back and leant forward in her chair so she was closer to Drew.
"Open up." She whispered and the boy quickly obliged. Leaning her arms around the chair she brought the bottle to his lips, gently tipping it back so the liquid poured down his throat.
"Behave yourselves." Ash rolled his eyes at the couple, both blatantly liked each other but yet neither one made a move, it was beginning to frustrate him.
"Don't be such a grump." Misty smiled, leaning forward in her chair and peppering Ash's neck with kisses.
"Misty." He moaned as she began to suck on his neck, leaving a slight purple mark behind. "Drew?" He said when Misty moved away from his neck.
"Hm?" He asked, moving from the bottle without May noticing and it dribbled down his front slightly.
"Hey, now we match." May smirked, sitting back in her chair.
"Take the wheel." Ash said, glancing towards Drew.
"Are you serious? Why?" Drew asked, raising his eyebrow at the boy.
"Because I need to kiss the girl of my dreams." Ash smirked, unbuckling his seatbelt.
Drew sighed but leant over anyway to take hold of the wheel, Ash turned around in his seat and leant at an awkward angle so he was facing Misty.
"You're crazy!" Misty squealed, slightly enjoying his antics.
"I prefer romantic." Ash shrugged, putting his hand on the back of her head and pulling her forward to him, claiming her lips.
If Misty had been sober she'd never have let him get away with this behaviour, but her mind was clouded, making her judgement off. Instead she found him daring, the things he would do for a kiss made her feel special, being with him made her feel loved.
But then everything went wrong, everything in her life changed with one rash decision.
"Fuck!" Drew cried out, as the car skated over some black ice, the steering feeling light as he lost control of the car.
Ash pulled back and spun in his chair quickly to try to stop the inevitable but it was too late, the car fell from the road and flipped as went, throwing around the passengers inside. The only thing in their path to stop them was a tree, crashing into the front, crushing the bonnet beyond recognition and sending Ash flying into windshield.
That was the last thing Misty remembered seeing before she blacked out.
…
Misty woke when she felt an intense pain, she screamed out as fire lapped at her cheek, burning her skin.
She tried to move away but she was already pressed against the car door, there was nowhere to run. Her hands shook as she tried to undo her seatbelt, successfully releasing her and getting her away from the flames, the damage already being done to her face. She groaned as her body fell to the roof of the car, now the ground, she noticed May was no longer by her side, Drew no longer in the front seat, but Ash was still there. Eyes closed, blood pouring from the back of his head, cuts along his arm and a gash in his stomach where he'd placed his hand to relieve some pain.
The smell of leaking petrol and fire should have been raising alarm bells with her but she didn't care, she needed to make sure Ash was okay, she refused to leave without him. She crawled slightly towards him, as close as she could get without getting herself in more danger, the flames getting closer to her but this time she didn't flinch. She heard May's frantic screams from outside, telling Drew to get them out but it didn't matter right now, all that mattered was Ash.
"Ash?" She coughed out.
"Hey Mist." He smiled slightly, slowly opening his eyes. He looked tired, he looked weak but he still managed to smile for her.
"You're going to be okay, I promise." She said, biting her lip, her tears weren't going to help in this situation.
"I know, this is nothing." He winced slightly. "Just a few scrapes."
"I love you Ash."
"I love you too Misty, forever."
Slowly she reached her hand out towards him and taking his hand away from his stomach he too reached for her. She was shocked by the amount of blood that seeped through his shirt but she tried to hide it, she needed to pretend everything was fine, he needed her support.
Just as their fingers were about to touch Misty felt two arms tight around her waist, pulling her away.
"Ash!" She shouted as her bare skin scraped against the glass of the broken window, the feeling of fire around her soon being replaced by cold, wet grass.
"Misty! Thank god!" May exclaimed, grabbing hold of the girl as she was put down on the ground next to her.
"Drew! You have to get Ash too!" Misty shouted, too worried to even celebrate that she'd made it out alive, that beyond a few burns and cuts she'd been uninjured.
Drew nodded before turning towards the car again, determined that they'd all make it out of this alive but it was too late. The petrol mixed with the fire causing the car to burst in an explosion of fire and smoke. The three were frozen, watching the car containing their best friend go up in flames.
"No!" Misty pushed herself up and ran towards the car, she couldn't let Ash die like this.
"Misty!" Drew grabbed her around the waist again, stopping her from running into the car. "It's too late."
"No, it can't be." She struggled against him but his hold was too tight.
"Misty…" May reached out to comfort her friend but right now she didn't need it, all she needed was Ash.
"Ash!" She screamed, pushing against her restraints with all her strength.
"I'm sorry Misty." Drew muttered.
"No." Misty whispered, the tears she'd been holding in falling freely, streaming down her cheeks, the salt water stinging her open wounds, her breath escaping in sharp bursts. "He can't be gone."
She felt herself being maneuvered out of Drew's arm into May's, she felt May stroke her hair and whisper soothing words into her ears but it didn't matter, with him gone she was broken.
She didn't notice Drew go back to the wreckage to see if it was salvageable, she didn't notice him shake his head sadly at May, she didn't notice the paramedics turning up, she didn't notice the tests and questions, she didn't notice her sisters coming to get her and gushing over her, she didn't notice falling asleep that night. She didn't notice anything any more because without Ash she just felt like a ghost in her own life, an empty shell of who she used to be, a soul without a purpose.
Until she met him.

Okay, I realise there is literally no egoshipping at all in that chapter but I thought I needed to set the scene before I went into it so I'm sorry if it was a disappointing first chapter :/
Please review :) thanks
