When i woke up, I was in hospital, surrounded by bright lights and machines.

"Oh my god, Scar." I heard Jake say.

"Whe-wher's Ash?" I said, struggling with my words.

"He's just here, he fell asleep." He replied and i turned my head slightly to see Ash, in a chair next to my bed with his head down, eyes shut. "Hes been here for 7 hours! He refuses to leave you."

"Awww, hes so sweet." I said and smiled softly. I looked down at my left wrist and my smile disappeared. Jake followed my gaze.

"Why did you do it?" He said.

"Because i couldnt stand the thought of Jackson." I said and a tear fell down the side of my face. At that moment, Andy came in with two cups of coffee in his hands.

"Oh god, Scarlett!" He said and rushed to my bedside and gave Jake his cup and the other one on the bed-side table. He hugged me tightly. "Dont ever do that to me again, i nearly fucking died worrying over you!"

"I'm sorry, i was so upset when all the memories of Jackson came back." I said and yet another tear fell. Andy lifted his hand and wiped it away gently with his hand.

"Ow." I said, it was my scarred side.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"Its ok, its still a little sensitive." I replied.

Just then, Ashley jumped and he looked like he'd just wtahced someone get murdered!

"What the hell Ash, are you ok?" Jinxx said walking in juat as it happened with Sammi at his side.

"Yeah, nightmare." He said.

"Ash your fucking shaking!" Andy said and put his hand on his shoulder, Ashley jumped again and the guys held him down.

"What exactly was your nightmare about?" Sammi asked him carefully.

"Scarlett." He said simply.

"What about me?" I asked him.

"You..." He started. "Jackson was in your bus... Everyone was out... He... He ra-raped you... you tryed to run... he grabbed you an-and..." He had atears  running down his cheeks. "He had a knife... He wouldnt stop driving it into you... He wouldnt stop..." Hecouldnt continue, i didnt really want to know the rest, that was bad enough.

"My god." Jake said, shocked.

"Come here." i said and Ash bent over my bed and hugged me tightly. "I love you."

"I love you too." He said.

"Whats up?" CC said walking in and ruining the moment.

"You dont wanna know." Andy said sternly.

CC put on a 'please tell me' face and Andy led him outside with Jinxx.

"It's ok Ash, everythings ok, i'm fine." I said.

"Yeah, thats why you cut yourself." He said kinda harshly.

"Hey woah, she was upset, all her bad memories came back without warning and it got too much, me, you and Andy have done the same, so you dont need to say shit like that." Jake said.

"You cut?" I asked him.

"I used to, at high school and stuff, i had a pretty rough time." He replied.

"Oh." I said simply. I couldnt imagine Jake being the cutting type.

"Its done now, and in the past, i just gotta live my day as it comes, as does everyone else." HEe said and i nodded in agreement.

"You ok now Ash?" Sammi said and rubbed his back.

"I dont know." He said  as another tear fell, still remembering the dream. "I hate Jackson and i've only known him five fucking minutes."

"Now you know how i felt." I said.

"No i dont, i dont know how you felt when you were dating him, i dont know how you felt when he abused you, or raped you. I dont want to know. I'm going to kill him." Ash said and i sat there open-mouthed.

"It's not like he killed me." I said after a few seconds.

"No, he was too selfish for that. Too selfish to put you out of your misery." He said and turned around and smashed his fist against the wall. That made me seriously jump and a tear fell down my face. I had never seen him like this, and i didnt like it.

"Ash stop it, your upsetting Scarlett." Jake said and rubbed my arm. He saw me jump just now.

"I'm sorry, i cant take it, i cant take the fact that that twisted monster is still roaming the streets." Ash replied and pounded his fist against the wall again. CC, ANdy and Jinxx walked in, CC looked shocked, almost like he was scared.

"Oh my god Scar." He said. "Why didnt you tell any of us about this?"

"Because none of you were ever with me, and i didnt think i would HAVE to tell you." I said as another tear slid down my cheek. "I'm just sorry you had to find out."

"Your not the one that should be sorry. Jackson will pay for this." Ashley said and that made me kind of scared. It made me shiver.

"It's ok Scar, Ash calm down your scaring her!" Jake said.

Ash punched the wall once more and stormed out, Jinxx and Jake followed behind him. I just burst into more tears. Why was he acting like this?!

"It's ok Scar." Andy said as he sat beside me on the bed and hugged me tightly.

"Why is he being like this?" I finally asked.

"He's not angry at you, hes angry at Jackson. We all are." He replied and stroked my hair gently.

"Its in the past, it happened and theeres nothing anyone can do about it, and no matter how much Ash thinks he will sort things out, it will just make things worse." I said pooring more tears out into Andy's chest.

"You dont know that." CC said, suddenly.

"No." I said and looked at him with pained eyes. "But i know Jackson..."

"What has he done?" Andy said, angry now.

"The last time i saw Jackson, it was on my first tour, at the first venue." The thought of it made me scratch at my right wrist with my nails.

"Stop it." Andy said looking at what is was doing. "Stop it." He repeated. "You dont have to say this if you dont want to.

"No. You need to know." I said. "For Ashley's sake."

"Ok." Andy replied and held my hand so i couldnt scratch at my wrist anymore.

"At the first venue, I ran into Jackson. He was there to see a few other bands and when he realised that my band was there and i was in it. He stayed there to watch me play, then when we left for the next venue, so did he, and he bought tickets for the rest of the venues that we were playing at. I got so scared, i didnt know what to do, so i just put all my emotions into my songs. Teh he confonted me after ever show. He said that he wanted me back, like he did at the beach, and whenever i said no, he slapped me, and then apologised and said that he could change, but that happened at least 8 times." I couldnt say anymore, i looked down at my hands, then up at Andy, he had tears in his eyes, then he just let them go.

"He ruined your first tour?!" He finally said, i just nodded. Andy held me closer. Then i noticed that CC hadnt said anything for ages.

"CC?" I said.

"Yeah?" He said softly.

"Please say something."

"What is there to say? This guy needs to pay for what he did to you." CC also had tears in his eyes, i couldnt feel anything but responsible.

Just then, Jake ran in.

"Scarlett. Andy. CC." He began, he was out of breath. "You guys gotta come quickly, Ash found Jackson."

"I''ve gotta see if i can leave." I said and pushed the buzzer that calls the nurse. She came in about 30 seconds later.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Can i go, my boyfriend is in trouble and i need to help him." I said frantically.

"Oh, ok, you can go now, you seem to be fine." She said.

"Thanks." I said getting out of bed and took the robe off.

I ran out of the hospital followed by Andy, Jake and CC. We werent that far away from where The others were.

"THIS WAY!" Jake shouted and we ran round a corner into a dark alley. There, we saw Jackson pinned up against a wall because Ash's arm was pressing against his neck. Jinxx was trying to tear them apart. Jackson's nose was bleeding and Ash had blood coming from his jaw bone. It looked like they had a pretty brutal fight.

"JACKSON KEAT WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" I shouted and put my hand on Ashley's shoulder telling him that he could let go. He did so willingly. I turned to face Ash as he walked of carefully. Then i turned around to face Jackson. I scowled at him.

"I have had it with you. you havent fucking changed and you never will!" I said.

"I ha-" He started but i punched him in the face. "AH SHIT! I THINK YOU BROKE MY NOSE!" He screamed.

"Second time i've broken one of your bones isnt it?" I said, a smug look crept onto my face.

"What?!" CC said.

"I broke his arm the first time he slapped me after a concert." I said turning my head slightly, but not enough to not be able to see Jackson.

"Atta girl!" Jake said and chuckled.

"And now he knows that if he does anything to hurt me OR my friends, one of us WILL end up hurting, or possibly killing him."

"Speaking of which." Jackson suddenly.

"What?" I snapped my neck back towards him. It kinda hurt but i didnt care.

"Hows your wrist?" He said, not actually caring. He just put a smug look on his face.

"Its fine thanks." I said in a sarcastic voice. I didnt give a shit about what he had to say anymore, i dont think i ever did. "Hows your nose?" I gave him a smug look, and he scowled at me.

"Your gunna pay." Jinxx said suddenly.

I turned around to face everyone, but then i saw Ash's eyes widen, i put my arm out without looking and managed to instantly wrap my hand around his neck, he smashed his head against the wall. Then i turned around to see why Ash had looked so scared. Jackson had a knife.

"Where the fu-" I started and then let out a blood-curdling scream. The knife had ripped through the right side of my stomach. I let go of Jackson's neck and just dropped to the floor. The others watched helplessly.

"ANY OF YOU COME ANYWHERE NEAR HER, I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL DO THE SAME TO YOU!" Jackson shouted in anger.

I held onto my stomach as tightly as i could, putting as much preasure on it as possible. i could feel myself getting weaker.

"Scarlett, hang in there baby girl. It's going to be ok." I heard Ash say, i held on, just for him.

"YOUR A FUCKING LUNATIC!" Andy cried and looked at him with such anger in his eyes, if lookes could kill, Jackson would have been dead long ago.

"I-I can't hold on.... I'm sorry Ashley..." I said weakly.

"SCAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I heard Ash scream.

Then everything went black.

Ashley's POV:

"SCAR!!!!!!!!!" I screamed, but she just closed her eyes. I was going to kill Jackson if it was the last thing i fucking did. "What the fuck was that for?! Are you TRYING to kill her?!"

"I can't have her. No one can. And that included you Ashley Purdy. Any of you come after me, i will come after her again." He said and walked off.

I ran over to her imediatley.

"Someone phone for an ambulance!" I shouted.

"On it!" Jake said and put his phone to his ear.

"Scarlett." i whimpered, holding her close to me.

"It going to be ok Ash, she's going to be fine." Andy said and rested a hand on my shoulder.

"It's all my fault. I shoudnt have gone after him. I fi had stayed at the hospital with her then be in this situation." I said as a tear fell down my cheek.

"The ambulance is going to be here in about 5 minutes." Jake said outting his phone into his pocket.

"Everythings going to be fine Ash." Jinxx said and i just sat there crying.

 "HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW THAT?!" I shouted. "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT SHES GOING TO BE OK? SHE SHAD A SHIT ENOUGH LIFE AS IT IS! SHE MIGHT BE OK PHYSICALLY, BUT MENTALLY?! WE JUST DONT KNOW!"
