River's POV:

I felt a pang of guilt.

As Ashley fell fast asleep, I couldn't help but feel guilty about what happened just a few days before...If only I drove faster...If only I got to her before she got hurt like that...If only. If only.

I shake my head as if I could get rid of my thoughts...it didn't really help...

*flashback*

I griped my steering wheel so tight that my knuckles were turning white, I press harder on the gas as I try to get to Ashley as soon as I can.

"Do you think it's them?" Cyrus asks solemnly looking out the passenger side  window

I tightened my grip on the steering wheel

Ryan anxiously bounces his leg "maybe" he says sadly

" it can't be them!" Lily exclaims nervously
As she grips on to Josh's hand.

"If it is them we will make sure nothing happens to her, Lily.." Josh says quietly to his sister

It doesn't surprise me when Josh speaks to his sister, he usually speaks to us alone or his sister. Never in public, not since his accident.

I clench my jaw and grip the steering wheel harder.

Finally after 15 minutes of driving, we round the corner to where ash said she was.

I cursed under my breath

It was our rival gang. The one group we hoped weren't here tonight. Luckily there was only a few of members here.

I park my car just down the road, where it was hidden from their sight. We quietly come out of the car, hoping our rivals don't  hear us

When suddenly I see Ashley punch the leader straight in the face and spits at his feet.

I feel a tinge of pride for our cupca– Er, Ashley

I signal the group to attack them while Lily and I go help Ashely out

We were just 10 meters away when a figure goes up behind Ashley with a bat and swings and hits her really hard. A shrill  scream rings out, I wasn't sure if it was Ashley or Lily or both

I sprint to save her but I was too late.
She falls back hitting her injured head even more.

As soon as I reach her I sit in front of her and start rambling about nothing just to keep those beautiful eyes of hers open, but it seems she was having trouble trying to keep them open herself

(which of course has me panicking)

She smiles at me with a dazed look in her eyes
