Save me

05

When I woke up again Luke was sitting at his desk doing paperwork and Ashton was on his phone.

"What time is it?" I ask quietly, not sure if they heard me, but as soon as I go to ask again Ashton answers.

"1:30 pretty girl," He said with a smile and continues to type away. I stretch my arms and then suddenly realized I need to use the bathroom urgently. I get up and grab my bag.

"I'll be right back," I say while grabbing the door handle.

"Okay, don't get lost, Mike will kill us if you do," Luke says with a laugh, Ashton giggles and I chuckle. The walk to the bathroom was pretty uneventful. But that all changed once I had relieved myself and headed back to Luke's office.

"Hey! Little Clifford" someone yells from behind me.  The guy from before is speed-walking over to me with a boyish grin. Uh oh. Ew boys.

"Hi..."

"Doctor Charlie Lockwood"

"Sup Doc, what do you want," I ask with a yawn. Oh, how I miss my bed.

"Just wondering what little Clifford's name is." He said with a smirk as we reach Luke's office door. I turn and gave him a mischievous grin.

"That's for me to know and you to eventually find out. BYE," I say as I quickly enter Luke's office and plop down on the couch.

"What took so long Rose?" Ashton said while he was sitting in one of Luke's armchairs.

"some doctor stopped me," I said while plopping down on the couch again and covering my legs with the blanket that I was previously using.

"Oh, who?"

"Doctor... Locking? Lockton?"

"Lockwood?"

"Yeah! That's his name!"

"What did he want?" Luke said, looking up from the paperwork he was doing.

"To know my name, but I told him, he'll find out eventually," I said with a smirk growing on my face.

"That's my girl!" Michael shouts as he enters the room obviously hearing what we were talking about. He gives me a fist bump and then sits down next to me, stealing my blanket too.

"So what do you guys want to do for dinner?" Ashton asks seeing as only Calum was missing.

"Fish tacos?" Luke suggested

"Oo, with mango salsa!" I added.

"Sounds good to me, Mike?"

"Sure, I'm down for that," Mike says with a nod.

"Alright me and Rose can go to the store and buy everything we need," Ashton says while getting up.

"Alright, be safe, and don't lose my baby sister!" Mike says while I get up and follow Ashton out.

"Haha, I won't don't worry, I won't" Ashton laughs while holding the door open for me.

"see you guys at home!" I say before the door shuts behind me.

"Okay, so I'll get changed real quick, and then we can get going, okay?" Ashton says turning to me while we reach a door. He opens the door and it looks like a gym locker room. 

"Okay," I say with a small smile. He walks over to his locker and takes his change of clothes out and goes to the changing stalls. So I sit down on the bench that is placed in front of the lockers. That's when the main door opened and the shit show started.

When I said "Shit show", I meant shit hit the fan. A group of grown-ass men comes in. Guess who comes in first? Ding ding ding! Dick -oops- Doctor, sorry about that, Lockwood. Then a bunch of random-ass doctors behind him.

"Hey, little Clifford, what are you doing in here?"

"I'm waiting for someone, but it's not like it's any of your business, now is it?" I say while crossing my arms and slouching on the bench to make me look as nonchalant as possible, "Don't you have someplace to go, lives to save instead of bothering me?"

"Nope, my only job right now is to bother you, so are you still not going to tell me your name, or do I need to look it up?" He says with a flirty smirk. I give him a sickly sweet smile.

"For you to be flirting with me is very unprofessional, and don't forget illegal too since I'm a minor. So if you go looking for my name, I'll make sure the chief knows this too." I said while getting up, "Tell Ash I'll be waiting for him outside, thank you." I walk out of the room and lean against the wall. My head was beginning to hurt and all I want to do is sleep.

Not long after I left the room, Ash came out with wet hair and his bag in hand. "Alrighty, you ready?" I smile up at him and nod. I just want to get out of here. He puts his hand on the small of my back and leads me out to the car. I get into the passenger's seat, while Ashton gets into the front and starts the car.

We make it to the store in one piece, but just as we start to get out Ashton's phone begins to ring. "You go on it ahead, I'll be there in a second, I just have to take this call real quick." He gives me a small smile, giving me forty bucks just in case. I exit the car and head in while he answers the phone.

I grab one of the carts and start to head down the isles to get the ingredients for fish tacos and the mango salsa. (A/N: I don't know if those really taste good together, lol, I don't even like fish tacos or mango salsa XD) It took me about fifteen minutes to find the ingredients, but there was no sign of Ashton, so I went up and paid with the money that he gave me.

As I walked out I didn't see his car, I didn't see his car anywhere. I check my phone to see no text or missed call.

Where the Fuck did he go?

I called him, twice, and I got fucking voicemail. I begin to panic so I called Calum, nothing, then I called Luke. And the idiot picks up.

"Hello?" Luke's baritone voice says through the other end of the phone.

"Luke," I start, but the tears well up in my eyes, "Luke, where's Ashton?"

"Rose, what do you mean 'where's Ashton'?" Luke asks me concerned.

"Ash got a call right before we headed into the store so he handed me the money and sent me in to get everything, and when I came out, his car was gone, I looked everywhere, I tried to call him twice, I called Calum then I called you, you were the only one who picked up" I could feel the anxiety rise up from the pit of my stomach.

This can't be happening. He couldn't have left me like that, could he? Am I that much of a burden?

"Rose listen to me, go back into the store and wait for me, what store are you at?" He says in a calm but stern voice.

"Gabriel's, the one down the street from the house," I say while trying to suppress the sobs that are trying to rack through my body.

"Okay honey, I'll be there in a couple of minutes, go inside, it looks like it's going to rain." Just as he says that it starts to rain

"Okay," I hang up and walk back inside with the bag of groceries. 

Random fact of the day: The boys (5SOS) used to brush their teeth together before every show.

Love ya!!
