Chapter 1: The Awakening
I can replay the events over and over again in my head but it all still feels like a dream. I walked up to them and they were both looking deeply into each other's eyes. She never looked at me like that. I thought maybe he told her bad news, well he did it was just not for her, but for me. He told her that he was still in love with her. Something we all kind of figured but just let it sit on the back burner and not pay attention to. I mean he had Kyla, why would he think about her? I know why, it's because the world isn't a kind place. I ran away from them. Like I always do. But what could I do in that situation? He told her that I demanded that he stay away from her and she got pissed at me! I had every right to do that though. It wasn't like I was acting crazy and was being over protective, he proved that to me that night. That one night where my world flipped upside down. In those 30 seconds she hesitated, I knew. I knew that my happiness, my life, was coming to an end. I knew that she was going to chose him. I didn't need to hear her answer, in fact, I didn't get a chance to. Almost as soon as the words left my mouth and she stopped to think, bullets came whizzing past our heads. Luckily I wasn't hit but she was. She started to fall to the ground. I caught her before she made impact with the concrete. I couldn't tell where she was hit until I sat down with her in my arms. The bullet entered her right shoulder. I began to cry although I already lost her to him. I love her, with every part of my being. That will never change. I began to speak to her to keep her from going unconscious.
"Ash...Ashley. Baby speak to me..." She was just looking at me. I didn't know if she could her me over the screams of everyone around us so I spoke again "Ashley. Can you hear me?"
"Spencer. I-I'm sorry..." I just shook my head at her.
"No I-" I was cut off by a deep voice belonging to an unwanted person.
"Ash! Are you okay?" Aiden asked as he and Kyla walked over to us. Neither one was shot. I was happy Kyla was all right but Aiden- not so much. At the moment I wanted his ass laying on the ground fighting for his life. He didn't deserve to live, not after taking away the love of my life. I looked down at Ashley only to find her shoulder completely covered in blood and a small pool of blood on the ground slowly growing larger.
"No she's not okay you dumbass! She's losing a lot of blood! Just go the fuck away. Nobody wants you to be here anyway!" I yelled at him. Kyla stared at me in disbelief, I don't think she's ever heard me blow up like that. Aiden just stood there. Soon a couple paramedics came over with a stretcher and examined Ashley. As fast as I could blink they had her on the stretcher and in the back of an ambulance ready to take her to the hospital. I needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible but I sure as hell wasn't going to ask Aiden to take me. I thought about asking Glen. Oh shit, my brothers! I went into panic mode. Where are they? Did they get shot? What about Chelsea? Sean or even Madison? I searched all around me until I saw a familiar blonde, curly headed boy.
"Glen!" I shouted as I ran over to him. With him stood Clay, Chelsea, Sean, and Madison. They were all okay but had the look of complete sadness on them. Before I questioned them or brought up Ashley something clicked in my head. Boz. Something must've happened to Boz. I took a closer look at Sean and his tux was covered in blood. I'm guessing it was Boz's. I later found out Boz was shot 3 times in the chest and died in Sean's arms. Although I didn't know him well it saddened me. He was a good guy, fun to be around. But I had Ashley to worry about even though she didn't care about me.
