Well… It's been a while… about half a year….
I'm so sorry everybody! I didn't mean to stop updating so long, I just lost all my time an inspiration…. It was really painful…
I can't promise many more updates for at least a couple of months, since I have my exams soon and mock exams in the three next week. But I'm really happy that I finally could write this chapter. I hoped that it could be longer, but I'm happy that I at least could write this!

Aster;
It felt like the world had stopped as Aster tried to take the words in. Jackie couldn't have done it! She just couldn't! Jackie's too strong to go there. He didn't want to believe Mick, not for a second… but Mick's next words destroyed that.
"Aster! I don't know what to do!"
Aster had never heard Mick so upset before and so lost and afraid. It felt like the world had stopped as the words went through his head repeatedly. His throat felt thick and his stomach felt ill. Then the reality hit him and he was on the move with a confused Tina right behind him.
"Tina! Call the ambulance and get it to Jackie's house. Moon Street 21! Jackie just cut her pulse" Aster more or less ordered said girl before he went back to his own phone. "Okay, Mick listen to me closely. The first thing you have to do is to find a tread or something like that. It's just one hand, not both?"
"It's j-j-just o-o-one. B-b-but what c-c-can I use?" Mick stressed out and his sobs grew stronger.
"Okay, calm down now Mick. To save Jackie, you have to be calm," he told the little boy. In the background, he heard Tina talking with the emergency people (A/N: Don't know what they called xD).
"Jackie use shoes with laces right? Use them and tie a tight knot about 3 inches above the cut, okay?"
"O-okay!" Mick had noticeably calmed down, and Aster sighed in relief.
Just as the rounded the corner, Aster nearly crashed into someone and was just saved by his reflex. However, Tina ran right into him and nearly fell to the floor. Aster starred at the person in front of him an if the situation hadn't been like this, he would have cheered!
"Nick! No questions! Drive us to Jackie's house now!" and then he grabbed Nick's jacket and pulled him after himself. Tina quickly explained the situation and Nick cursed in Russian as they finally came to the doors that lead to the outside. Nick had already found his car-keys. They ran as fast as they could to the car, even though it was icy outside and Aster nearly tripped several times.
As they got into the car, Aster talked to Mick to find out how long he had come.
"Okay, Mick, does she breath? Her heart, does it beat?"
Please! Please, if it doesn't be-
"ASTER!" and Aster already knew what it meant.
"Aster, we're there in 3 minutes. Nick drives as fast as he can right now," Tina told him and Aster felt it too. When it came to Nick's wild driving Aster would puke just by the thought of it, but not right now.
"Okay, Mick, we're there soon but until we come you have to do something for me. Place your hands right between her breast and press up and down all the time. Don't think about that it may hurt, you have to do it."
"O-okay, I think I know what you mean. I start right now," Mick said and the Aster heard the phone hit the floor.
The only thing Aster could do now, was praying to who knows… and hold down his breakfast. Now that he didn't had to help Mick. But just as he placed his phone back into his pocket, he remembered his promise to Mr. Moon and he mentally hit himself in the head. He got his phone up again and quickly texted to Sander. Sander didn't know what had happened, or maybe he did. Rumours at school flew fast.
Sander! No time to explain, but you have to send a message to this number!
Jackie just cut her pulse. We're on our way to her house now!
Aster!
And then he placed Mr. Moon's number into the message and pressed send.
Just as he pressed send, Nick's car stopped dead (A/N is that right?) and skidded some meters. They were finally there!
Aster didn't hesitate a second. He literally jumped out from the car, ran to the entrance door to Jackie's house, and threw it open. He called out Mick's name and heard a faint cry from the second floor right away. He still ran as he listened after Mick's small sobs so he could find them. He ended up in front of Jackie's room and saw that the door was wide open.
Aster nearly gasped at the sight in front of him. Jackie's room was trashed! All of her stuff was flung around, her closet's drawers were wide open and right in front of them was a sight that nearly got Aster to puke there and then. Jackie lay on the floor, her hoodie pulled off and her arms covered in blood. On the floor underneath her was a pool of blood to, and her little brother was desperately pressing her chest up and down.
Aster didn't stare for long, he was by Jackie's side in seconds and pushed Mick away as gently he could before starting CPR on her.
Okay, 30 and 2, 30 and 2 he thought as he pressed her chest up and down 30 times before he went over to her face, bent the neck backwards a little, squeezed her nose ann parted her lips before he placed his lips upon hers and blew two times. He did this repeatedly, ignoring the blood on his knees. He heard footsteps behind him and as he continued the CPR and turned around. He met Tina's terrified and watched as she gasped in shock. Her hands flew up to cover her mouth and tears slowly started to form in her eyes.
"Tina, take care of Mick," he told her as he looked at the little boy. Mick was pale as a ghost and tears ran down his face as sobs came out from his mouth. Aster turned his attention back to Jackie. His chest tightened as he saw her way-to-pale face and heard Mick's cries as Tina picked him up to get him away.
"NO! I CAN'T LEAVE HER! LET ME GO!" he screamed out as Tina desperately tried to calm him down.
Anger filled Aster for a moment as he pressed his lips against Jackie's again.
"Frostbite, if you die here, I'm gonna find a way to bring you back to life and then kill you myself! You can't leave your family behind you after all that has happened. You can't leave all your friends that's here for you. Shit! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME WHEN I JUST FOUND OUT THAT YOU WERE IN LOVE WITH ME! I'm serious, I kill you myself if it h-happens," and then his voice broke and he felt tears fall from his eyes and down his cheeks. His whole body felt weak and he tried to hold his sobs back.
And then he heard a sound he would price forever! The sound of an ambulance and it filled him with new strength as he again placed his lips on hers.
The next minutes felt like flashes for Aster. He heard voices coming to the room, then there was unknown people around Jackie and he was right beside Tina and Mick. Mick's cries had went over to broken sobs as Tina handed him to Aster. The little boy's hands were covered in blood and he was shacking. Tears felt from Aster's own eyes but the sobs that wanted to come out wasn't there anymore. Tina herself was sitting on the bed as she cried out in frustration and tears were falling down from her eyes. Nick was beside her as he tried to comfort her, but tears were falling from his eyes too.
There had been a man talking to them and had said something about calling another ambulance. Aster saw his little Jackie lifted up on a bed with wheels before she was rolled out. Aster and the others had followed and as Jackie was lifted into the Ambulance, another was driving up and he was told to come go into it so they could see if there was anything wrong with them, and that was a good thing since Mick had stopped crying and he was way too quiet for Asters liking.
The ride to the hospital was quiet to as the doctors tried to get Mick to drink something, but just as Mick was lifted away from Aster he was screaming and crying again as he clung to Aster. Just as Aster took got him back on his lap, Mick grew silent again and his breath went normal again. It didn't take long before the boy had fallen asleep.
"Poor thing, he must be so shacked up and confused right now," Tina's tiny voice said. Aster looked over to her and smiled sadly as he looked her. She was pale too, but wasn't crying anymore. She sat on Nick's lap with her head resting against his chest.
Aster didn't answer. His head hurt, his body was slack and he himself was just tired. His pants were soaked in blood and the picture of how he found Jackie didn't get out of his head. Her very pale face and arms soaked in blood. Trails of tears that had ran down her face. Her empty eyes that were filled with so much pain and sadness.
"Aster?"
A tiny voice broke him free from his train of thoughts and he looked down at Mick.
"Yeah?"
"Is Jackie… Jackie's gonna be fine? Right?"
Aster looked into the eyes of Jackie's little brother. They were nearly empty. There was no hope in them and they seemed ruined also. It was then he realised that Mick probably had dried more tears from his sisters eyes than she had done to him and aster was pretty sure Mick was struggling nearly as much as Jackie, but so his sister wouldn't stress about him… he pretended to be alright. But now, now that Jackie was so close to the death, all the things he had kept inside was slowly coming out.
So he said the only thing he could think Mick would believe and lose his hope.
"She's Jaqueline Frost, of course she's gonna be alright"
Finally! I have been struggling with this chapter. I tried to write as much as I could, but like I said…I was some writer block and not so much inspiration, but I'm gonna try as hard as I can!
