Chapter Two
Ashleigh stopped as she got to her car looking at it. Even in the moonlight she could see blood everywhere. Something shone bright in the moonlight in the front seat and she reached in picking up a lock of hair. She sobbed as she looked at a lock of her sister's hair. She clutched it to her, not carrying about the blood that stained it. Her legs gave out on her and she fell to her knees sobbing. Pain coursed through her, but she didn't care. Images flashed through her mind haunting her.
"Hey I liked that song!" Ashleigh glared at her sister a little.
Marissa laughed. "You like any love song that reminds you of Tyler." She smirked seeing her sister blush.
"So what if I do? Like you can say anything when all you think of is Caleb." Ashleigh threw back at her.
Marissa giggled. "I know. I'm sorry Ash. I just had to tease you!"
Ashleigh giggled herself. "We're almost to Nicky's."
"Can't wait to kiss baby boy?" Marissa teased.
Ashleigh blushed again glancing at her sister, catching something out of the corner of her eyes. She screamed as she swerved missing the person standing in middle of the road. She heard her sister screaming also. Everything went black as she collided with a car in the other lane.
Ashleigh moaned as she came to awhile later. She opened her eyes, and pain flooded through her. She shut them hoping to block it out, but she couldn't. "Marissa!" She cried opening them and looking for her sister. She saw her sister then. Her eyes we're wide open staring vacantly. "NO!" She heard sirens, but they seemed like miles away. Blood was everywhere as she screamed, and blackness took over again.
Caleb paled hearing screams. He threw his car into park, and jumped out running to the wrecked cars. He stopped paling as he saw Ashleigh on the other side. She was covered in blood, screaming. He ran over to her. "Ash?" He tried to touch her and she recoiled in fear. "Please Ash it's Caleb." He said trying to get through to her. His ears we're throbbing in pain hearing her screams of anguish. He saw the lock of hair in her hand she was clutching to her, and his heart broke more. He was relieved when her screams died down to just sobs. He frowned trying to touch her again and she cried out moving away from him again.
Tyler paled as they passed a car. "STOP!" He cried jumping out when Reid slammed on the breaks. He went over to the car paling as he saw the trail of blood, and the blood on the car. "Oh god."
"Tyler?" Pogue said from the Hummer.
Tyler realized where she was going, and he jumped back in. "She left a trail of blood. She's going back to the scene of the accident."
Reid didn't need to be told more as he paled flooring the Hummer.
Caleb heard a screech of tires, and he looked up to see the other sons jumping out of Tyler's Hummer, and running toward them. He got up and stopped them before they got there. "She won't let me touch her. You're probably the only one that can reach her where she is right now Tyler. I promised Marissa I would save her and watch out for her. Help me Tyler."
Tyler nodded as he walked toward his girlfriend. He crouched down in front of her looking at her. He bit his lip to keep his tears back. "Baby? It's me." He told her seeing her eyes move toward him a little, but not looking at him yet. "It's Tyler. You know I won't hurt you. I love you baby girl. It's not you're fault what happened. None of us blame you!"
Ashleigh looked up at him then. "Yes it is!" She sobbed out hoarsely from screaming so long. "I killed my sister!"
"No baby. We all felt the using. It was Chase!" Tyler told her moving closer. "Please baby girl. Don't do this. Marissa wouldn't want it! She doesn't blame you either. I'm sure of it."
Ashleigh shook her head. "Let me go!" She told him as she felt weaker.
"No." Tyler said as he let his tears go. "We need you Ash. The rest of us won't make it without you. We can't lose both of you!"
"Why wasn't it me instead of Marissa?" Ashleigh cried out startling all of them.
"It wasn't your time yet." Pogue spoke up then.
"Marissa used to protect you as long as she could." Caleb told her moving closer. "I felt her. The impact killed her. Otherwise you would have been killed also. You almost did die. You will if we don't get you back to the hospital baby girl." He paled slightly more seeing the pool of blood around her.
"NO! She shouldn't have done it!" Ashleigh rocked back and forth sobbing even as it caused her more pain.
Tyler reached for her then holding her even as she fought him. He could feel her weakening so he used to calm her, and she sobbed into him before passing out. He stood with her in his arms. "We have to hurry." He told them heading to his Hummer.
Caleb ran to his mustang as the other two followed Tyler. He watched Pogue open the back passenger side door, and help Tyler in holding Ashleigh to him. He felt the warmth of the tears pouring down his face as he followed them to the hospital. He pulled out his cell phone calling Matthew.
Matthew and Amelia we're on there way into Ipswich. "Hello?"
"We found her. We're on the way to the hospital. Tyler was the only one able to get through to her. She wants to die, and blames herself for Marissa's death." Caleb told Matthew who he though of as his second father.
"We'll meet you there." Matthew said as fresh tears started as he hung up the phone looking at his wife. "She's blaming herself, and wants to die. The boys found her, and are on the way back to the hospital with her. Tyler got through to her. Let's just hope it's enough."
Amelia sobbed as she though of her baby. "Hurry." She told him.
Matthew went faster doing as she said. He pulled into the parking lot seeing the boys we're already there, and they ran into the hospital.
Well what do you think? Do you want more?
