I felt lonely after Ash left, I felt like the only person in the world. So I went up stairs to my bedroom and started to discover things on the computer. The Computer was right next to the window that looks over the front yard. I could see all the way down the street.
As I was playing on my computer, something bright red caught my eye, I looked through my window down the street to see a red blob staggering, shedding red. As I squinted my eyes I saw it was a person, covered in what looked like paint? No blood... As if it were pouring from his lower half like a tap. I felt horrified, who could do that to anyone? I put my jacket on quickly and ran downstairs, no one was about. To see him or help him, so I had to do something, I ran down stairs as fast as my lungs would let me, the guys seemed to be playing some game, but were interrupted by my shouting. They didn't listen to my shouting but they followed me outside to the injured person, but once I looked at the blood covered face, horror had been placed upon mine, it was Ash, he was no longer staggering and had passed out by the looks of it, he looked so peaceful at sleep. His worries and thoughts seem to vanish from his facial expression. I bent down to his level. I panicked, I had no idea what to do, this just made my pulse blast through my veins

“Ash. Wake up you okay?” I know stupid question but what am I supposed to say. There was a pool of blood by his stomach and the emotion I identified as panic came to mind again. I tried to stay calm though. He murmured “C- caaaaaarmmmaaa-” I grabbed his arm to help him up. “Yes, yes it’s me come on, let me look after you, up we get” He murmured something un-audible but I took it as a yes and tried with all the strength I had in my little arms to get him inside to my room or the bathroom. “Come on stay awake stay with me keep talking, Ash, C'mon Ash” Gerard and the others only just got to where I was at, and I was going inside to clean him up, Ray and Mikey were going to follow the blood and see where he came from, and Gerard went to get Audrey and Frank came with me to supervise, I got through the door and went to the bathroom instantly I sat him on the toilet seat and kept talking to him so he would keep some of the consciousness he has, ”Frank get the disinfectant, and a whole lot of bandages!” he spoke like a pirate as he called up the stairs “Aye aye Cap'n!” I took a flannel and wet it to clean the blood off him. He looked terrible. His fringe kind of drooped in front of his eyes and was dry with blood. Most of his face was covered in blood and clothes. What had he been doing? I was determined to make my friend better. I won’t ask questions until he is ready like I was with his story when we were talking. As soon as I but the warm flannel on his cheek he woke up like a shot and grabbed my wrist,
“Shh, it’s okay I’m taking care of you, I'm not going to hurt you Shhh, shhh.” He relaxed for a while as I continued to clean his blood stained face. He had a gash on his cheekbone. As I cleaned up most of his face, Frank came up behind me with what I wanted, “Get a drink as well, some chocolate maybe” Frank nodded and went to do so, I dabbed the flannel with disinfectant and dabbed it as lightly as I could so it wouldn't hurt him, he winced a little but it didn’t seem to affect him that much. As I cleaned the gash I noticed glass. Glass in his cut. And some on his upper lip. “Frank! Get my make-up bag, and get my tweezers now! I need them !” I heard him run up the stairs into my room and he quickly gave them to me “How is he?” I looked at Frank “I thought he was just cut up a bit, but he's got glass in him” I then turned to his cheekbone and I pulled it out with my tweezers and tried to be gentle, and again it didn’t seem to affect him. I wet his hair with my hands and put it above his eyes so he could see clearly. I looked at where his other hand was and it was the source of the blood puddle. He held my arm for comfort. I un-buttoned his shirt to see the damage, more glass. I took his jacket so it was easier for him to get comfortable. I cleaned his bloodstained stomach and found more glass I’m guessing that there was a big piece of glass had scrapped through his stomach.
I apply more of the disinfectant to a new flannel since the last blue one was now purple. He winched a lot, “Shh its okay I got you” I said since his grip was harder. I slowly pulled out the biggest pieces of glass and put them in the bin. I looked up to his face he was fully awake now and on hand was holding the side of the sink and the other was holding my arm. I had managed to clear all of the blood and I soon discovered bruises. Dark purple ones. My eyes went wide. The poor thing, I then covered him up with bandages, mainly his torso I used it on. I then had to clean up the blood I got on the floor also, I took a mop from the kitchen and messed about for a little bit, Then I went back to tend to Ash, he was wide awake now, Frank had given him something to eat and drink. At least he's conscious, I sat on the edge of the bath and gave him a soft hug, so not to hurt him, “Thank you Carma” I rubbed his shoulder “what are friends for” he tried to stand up, but his eyes said he was dizzy, “Don't stand up yet” he sat back down and just started into space, “I'm guessing you're wondering how I became like this?” shook my head I don’t want details I just want to know if he’s okay now. I led him to my room and told him to lay on my bed I want him to be comfortable and safe from harm. We talked about random stuff mostly about the tour. I kept glancing out the window to keep seeing the red blood spots and foot prints. Gerard and Audrey arrived as Frank and I finished cleaning up everything, Audrey sprinted upstairs to see Ash, she cried over him for a while. Then cried over me, thanking me and calling me an angel, she crouched down to hug me and her pink hair was all I could see, and her thick runny black eye liner was getting all over my arm. I was quite shocked, but when Audrey calmed down, she just sat there with Ash's head on her lap being a mother “What happened?” Audrey asked quietly, “I don't know, he arrived like this.. so we took care of him” Audrey mouthed a thank you, because they were taking up my bed, I chose to look out for Ray and Mikey, as they've been following the trail
Suddenly I saw a man about …Really tall, walking along the path following Ash’s bloody trail. He stopped at the pool of blood that has dried up. He looked up our path that I could see a lot of red spots on. And a few small pieces of glass that I could see since the sun was shining on them. He walked down the pathway like a respected man but he didn’t look like one he had brown boots that had red stains on it so did the bottom of his jeans and a few on his plain white T-shirt. He looked angry to me, “Um Ash, don't want to alarm you. But there is a really tall blood stained man outside” Audrey's eyes widened with shock, and Ash's with fear, there was a moment of silence, no one really knew what to do, the only conclusion I could think of was that Ash had gotten into a fight and had gotten the worse end of it, the door bell went, it sounded so eerie because we all knew that wasn't a good man outside. “Don’t answer it” he quickly said, I got up and began walking downstairs quickly to tell Gerard. But then we heard a car pull up, I quickly glanced out the window and its Mikey and Ray, I can already hear that jingling of their keys. They're going to let him in, I know it. They have no idea, “So this is why you don't want to see your dad” Said Audrey, she was kind of spaced out, in shock if you will.
“I am his favourite punching bag” sighed Ash. That left me speechless, I heard talking down stairs. The worst scenarios wiped through my mind, I rushed to the top of the stairs. “Hey I saw my boy walk into this house” he had a deep voice, and it wasn't pleasant “Who's your boy?” asked Mikey, “Ashton? You know him?” Mikey hesitated out loud, he stood at the bottom of the stairs “CARMA! YOU GOT ASH UP THERE WITH YOU? HIS DAD'S HERE OR DID AUDREY PICK HIM UP?” I walked up to the top of the stairs to look at the Mikey and Ash's dad, “Yeah, Audrey picked him up” I lied obviously, walking down a few steps, Ash's dad looked at me with a funny look, “Who's this 'en Ashton got a girlfriend?” This is usually a jokey thing to say, but on him it sounded incredibly threatening, I shook my head “He's my best friend” he walked up the stairs a few steps and looked at me in the face, his breath was hot and heavy and his stare felt heavy too. He stared at me straight in the eyes, then grabbed my hand forcefully. I feel disgusted for this man to touch me, his dirty and dusty hands felt rancid and gave me goosebumps, “aren't you a pretty one 'ay, so your sayin' my boy is at Audrey's?” My breath caught in my mouth and I nodded my head ever so slightly, “Is there a problem?” Mikey said slowly clicking on that something is slightly wrong, he held the stare for a few more seconds as he dropped my hand and spread a disgusting smile on his face “Nope, Nah problem 'ere” he then turned to walk down the stairs, as Audrey poked her head out the door “Is he gone?” she whispered incredibly loudly “Audrey shut the hell up no he isn't” I whispered back equally loudly so she would understand to shut the hell up, but this man had heard and his head snapped around like a robot, “Your talking to Audrey... but you said? Are you lying to me girl?” I must have looked like a deer caught in the headlights, and like the flick of a switch he barged his way upstairs and called their names, Audrey shushing Ash even though he wasn't making any noise gave it away, he practically broke the door open and made a bee-line for Ash, The rest of the guys had followed and it just all broke loose, Audrey screamed and jumped next to me, she held onto me as if I were her own trying to protect anyone she can, Ash's Dad jumped on Ash, Ash shouted and kicked and cried in pain, As Gerard jumped on Ash's Dad's back and Frank was trying to get in between Ash and his Dad, Ray was phoning the police, Mikey was trying to get us out of the room so we wouldn't get hurt, which led to Audrey crying and shouting even louder. I had no clue what to do, everything was going quickly but it felt like I was being slowed down, I was so disorientated about what was going on. Audrey is struggling Mikey to try and get in there and Mikey is putting up a good front, trying to comfort her and to make her calm down, I heard sirens out side and I panicked so I ran. I ran to the bathroom and sat my self in the bathtub and pulled the shower curtain across. I was scared. What is going to happen? I felt tears well up in my eyes as I pulled my knees up to my chest and let my tears fall. Why were things like this happening? Why did he have to get hurt? By his dad? Why? All of this was going through my head as the sirens were muffled by my hands on my ears, I had only just gotten everything I had ever wanted but it felt like it was at a cost, that I got what I wanted but it will constantly be surrounded by tragedy and hurt. I felt like a Jinx but then at the same time I felt like it wasn't my fault, there are just some horrid people in the world and I have just happened to come across one, and Ash unfortunately happened to be born under one. It was too much to think about, it was too much pain to settle as everything good was only just settling, its like driving through the desert, and all the dust goes up in the air and gets corrupted. But its not like that at all.
I was overwhelmed by what was going on, the sirens, the crying, the screaming... Everything
