Guitars and Love

Tony~

I finished getting ready and sat on the couch. I couldnt stop thinking about Ashley. Everytime she says she has a bad feeling, something goes wrong. Im so hoping nothing goes bad today. I know the soccer game distracted her for a while, but knowing how Ashley is, she probably thinking about it now.
"Hey man" Vic said taking a seat across from me.
"Whats up"
"Nothing, you?"
"Just thinking about Ashley?"
"Why what wrong?"
"She said she has a bad feeling"
"Oh, crap, you remember what happen last time"
"Yeah, Jaime broke his leg"
"lets hope nothing goes wrong" He said.
"Yeah, ima talk to her before she gets on stage"
"You should go now if wanna talk to her"
"Why? her set doesnt start till 5"
"They changed it, shes starting in 5 minutes"
"Ah, alright, ill met you at the merch table"
"Yeah"
I got off the bus and ran to the stage Ashley was gonna be on. When i got there i saw her standing there with her guitar in her hands.
"Hey babe" I said looking at her.
She turned around and gave me a small smile, she looked so nervous.
"Hey" She gave me a kiss.
"You ready?"
"No" She looked down.
"Whats wrong"
"Babe i still have that bad feeling"
I knew it, this is gonna bug her all day, and me too. But what could i do? The best i could was tell her that everythings going to be fine.
I pulled her in a hug and kissed her forehead. "Its gonna be okay"
She smiled at me, i really didnt want to let her go but their intro was starting. I let her go and she walked on to the stage. Before i got off the stage she looked at me and i mouthed Dont worry to her. She nodded and gave me a smile before focusing back on the crowed. I got off the stage and headed to the merch table, the cool thing was that the stage was right in front of the stage, so i could watch Ashley perform. Everything was going good, Ashley didnt looked worried anymore.
"Things are going good" Vic said standing next to me.
"Yeah, she looks happy" I said still looking at Ashley.
"Yeah sh-"
A loud bang went off after there song finished. Everyone was wondering what that was, I heard Jake say into the mic what the hell was that? I looked at Ashley she had a blank expression on her face, something was wrong, then i noticed her white shirt turning red toward her stomach. Fuck! I took off running to the stage. as i got closer i could hear people screaming. I saw Ashley laying on the ground and all the guys around her. I quickly went to the floor and brought her to my lap. She was still breathing.
"Call the ambulance!" Jay yelled.
"Ashley please stay wake"
She looked at me and smiled before she shut her eyes.
"No! Ashley!"
Everyone was panicking. I heard the ambulance coming, i looked to where they were. I grabbed Ashley and carried her off the stage and headed toward the ambulance. They pulled out a stretcher and took her out of my hands and place her on it. They rolled her in the truck and i got in and sat next to her as they shut the doors. We took off, the medic was cutting her shirt down the middle to see where she had been shot. Damn. Theres a lot of blood. I felt tears coming down my cheeks, I held on to her hand.
"Please tell me she going to be okay" I said to the medic.
"Were not sure yet, but please stay clam sir" He said messing with something in a bag.
We got to the hospital and they rolled her out of the truck. As they were rolling her in i keep holding on to her hand. We walked through the er and through these two doors and we keep going down a hall. I could hear them saying that someone was shot in the lower part of the chest. As they reached the room they held me back.
"No! She needs me in there!"
"Sir you need to keep calm" A nurse said pushing me back.
"Thats my girlfriend in there!"
"The doctors need to get the bullet out, so please sir take a seat here, there going to do all they can"
"They need to save her!" I was yelling at the nurse with tears coming down my face.
"Please sir take a seat"
"Please save her, please"
The nurse nodded and seated me down on the chair. My mind was racing, all kinds of thoughts were filling my head. But i couldnt stop thinking about how i told her that it will be okay, and look what happen things arent okay.
"Tony!"
I looked over to see Vic, Mike, Jaime, Jay, Jake and Roger running toward me.
"Where is she?" Vic said, his eyes were watery.
"In that room, they wont let me in" I said looking at the door.
"I hope shes okay" Jaime said taking a seat next to me.
Mike was placing back and forth in front of me. Vic was sitting on the floor with his knees to his chest. Jay had his face in his hands, Roger was leaning back in the chair and looking up at the ceiling. Jake sitting in the last chair with his head down looking at the floor. Me, i didnt take me eyes off that door. Its been an hour and still nothing. Then the doctor came out of the room. We all shot up to our feet.
"Is my girlfriend okay?" I said to him as he stood in front of me.
