No, I don't watch eastenders, it's rare when I watch it. I'm glad everyone's enjoying the story so fa and I hope you continue to read and review my chapters. Quite surprised by what everyone was liking in the last chapter. Ashley caught them and everyone's like YES! YOU GO ASHLEY! YOU SHOW THEM ect. I had to 'lol' at it. Keep enjoying, xxxx
There was sudden bangs on the door. One after each other. I looked at them time to see it was late. Real late.
"Who'd be knocking at this time!" I heard my father boom in the house.
I rolled my eyes and decided for a nosy.
I looked down from the bannister as my Dad opened the door.
"TJ!" A scream came through.
I jumped at the high pitch shriek and peered to see who was at the door. To my shock, it was her.
"Ashley!" I gasped.
"What's going on?" Mom and Becky came out of their rooms.
"TJ! Help!" Ashley begged.
"TJ, what is this?" My Dad questioned.
I shrugged. "I don't know. Why you here?"
Ashley panted. "Mikey, he's hurt real badly! Quick, someone call 911!"
I couldn't move due to the shock of the unexpected news.
'Mikey? Hurt? WHAT!'
"Quick!" Ashley shouted and ran out.
I was only in my boxers but I grabbed a nightgown and my trainers and sprinted after her.
"Quick dear, call 911, Becky, follow TJ!" I heard my mom order. "I'll call Mikey's family."
I finally caught up with Ashley who was leading me to Gus' house.
"What happened!" I ordered.
"It was Lawson!" She panted, sweat soaking her shirt. "It was Lawson, Skeens and Mundy, there were more but they're the one's I knew."
I felt rage boil from the bottom of me, rising.
I wanted to give out a scream of anger but instead I mumbled.
"Dammit!" I closed my eyes, tightly.
"TJ! It's not your fault!" Ashley reassured.
"But it is, it is my fault, Mikey-MIKEY!" I shouted unable to hold my it in.
We soon came up to a body, lying still on the path.
"Mikey!" I gasped in shock.
His eye was black and blood came from his head and knuckles. It was a horrible sight. I didn't want to touch him in case there was bones broken.
"Hey! TJ! Wait up!" I turned to see Becky running up to me.
"Becky!" I couldn't help it but a tear squeezed through my eyes.
"Oh god!" She gasped in horror.
"Becky, what do we do!" I begged.
"We've got the ambulance coming." Becky said to me.
"Is he still alive?" I asked.
Ashley bent down and put her fingers gently on his neck.
"I still feel a pulse." She smiled with hope.
My mom and dad came running up to us, to make sure they give Mikey's family and the ambulance the right address.
"How bad is he?" My dad asked as my mother gasped in shock too.
"I don't know!" I admitted.
It looked bad, real bad, but it could be even worse for all they knew.
The ambulance came round the corner after some minutes.
I wanted to go, but I couldn't leave Ashley alone. Ashley didn't want to go.
"You coming?" I reached out my hand to her, begging her to take my hand and come with me.
Her eyes searched the ambulance and shook her head. "No! No, I think I'll stay here."
I nodded in understanding.
"Mom, you go ahead, I'll meet you there." I reassured her.
"Are you sure?" She questioned.
"TJ, you don't have to do this you know!" Ashley chipped in.
"Em...not to hurry anyone but...MIKEY NEEDS TO GO TO HOSPITAL, NOW!"
I jumped off. "Go!"
The ambulance closed the doors and went screaming off, lighting up it's way.
"Why did you do that TJ?" Ashley looked up at me with puppy eyes.
"Because, Ashley-"I stopped myself there.
"Yes?" She asked curiously looking up at me in the moonlight.
I never knew how pretty she was till now. No, I always knew she was beautiful, but her in the moonlight was something, much more!
"Ashley, I...I...I l-"
I stopped talking.
'What am I saying? Seriously, what am I thinking?'
"TJ?" Ashley asked, she looked so innocent in the moonlight.
"Em...you didn't shout at me for calling you Ashley!" I just realized.
"Oh," She looked really disappointed.
'You idiot!'
"Why didn't you go with Mikey, TJ?" Ashley asked curiously, tilting her head to the side like a confused puppy.
"I was going too. More like, why didn't you go to with Mikey?"
"I have my reasons."
"We know each other better than that, why? Just tell me why?" I pushed at her.
"Because, I …...I'm not anything to Mikey. I really am not. I'd be there, but what for? I bet Mikey doesn't know me!"
Ashley turned her back to me and I carefully put a supportive hand on her shoulder.
"Thank-you," I whispered.
"For what?" She turned round confused.
"For helping Mikey,"
"I didn't do anything!"
"Yes you did!" I argued with her. "If it weren't for you, Mikey would have been dead! You got help, that means something!"
Ashley shrugged my hand off her shoulder.
"Yeah, well, he's not gonna remember me helping him is he."
I sighed and nodded understandingly.
"Plus, look at me! I'm a total wreck, everyone will look at me thinking bad stuff!"
I looked at her head to toe. She was right.
Her boots were scuffed and had holes in them ready to fall apart, her jeans were filthy, wet and was worn out, her jumper was patched, faded, dirty and worn out then there was her new black coat. Even you know she got it not so long ago, it was already in a bad state.
"Jez, are you poor or something?" I asked.
She turned away not saying a thing.
"I'm sorry, that was rude of me." I apologised as I was in the wrong.
"Right, okay well, it's late..."
Ashley then walked off, or rather ran off, to god know's where.
And with the closing chapter...
we sleep once more!
