Chapter 1: Death of a Prom Night

Author’s Note: Well now, let me explain what this new story is about. First of all, I thought of this idea when I saw the preview for the Season Finale episode. Then when I saw it on Friday, I realized that it sounds like the season finale a little bit but there are a lot of things different. Such as, in my story Aiden kissed Ashley. YEAH! that’s right. A kiss! So, this is my story… ENJOY!! And please R&R so I know if it’s good or not. Thanks Much.


Ashley and Spencer at the prom, dancing. (Ashley’s POV)

Everything is going just as planned. I mean, Spencer is having the time of her life here with me and as am I with her. And Aiden’s enjoying himself with Kyla, the girl that he should be with. Now, I doubt that he has forgotten about what had happened prior to this night between us, but hopefully he never mentions it again. Not that it really matters because I’ve already told Spencer. I can’t keep any secrets from her, we love one another and she knows that I would never cheat on her, especially with Aiden. Although, I do miss being his girlfriend. I can’t explain it, there’s just something about him that keeps me coming back. Maybe it’s the fact that I still love him deeply. But I can’t! I need to hide those feelings, I’m with Spencer, and that’s all that matters to me now, she’s all that matters. Having a kiss with Aiden was nice though, I felt like the old me. Damn him, why did he have to kiss me? And why did I let him? Why am I so bemused about what to do? It should all be so simple, continue to be with Spencer and never talk to Aiden again. But I just can’t do that. Aiden’s my family, he’s my whole world. And what about Spencer, where does she fit into this? I ponder about all this as I spin Spencer around. I glance over just to get a peek at Aiden and I notice that he’s wearing the same tuxedo that he wore on our first date, nearly a year ago when we were sophomores. Kyla catches me staring and suddenly she whispers something into his ear. Then she leaves his side and I get a glimpse of him walking over here. Spencer sees and slightly smiles at me.

“I’m going to go get some punch.” She says loudly to me so I could hear over the music. I nod my head and she kisses me on the cheek and leaves. I watch her walk away and I see Spencer and Kyla talking. My stomach quickly turns from a normal feeling to a feeling of nervousness.

“May I have this dance, miss Ashley Davies?” I smile as Aiden asks this with his hand out ready for me to grab.

“Sure.” I respond to him. Once we grab a hold of one another and we begin to dance, I decide its best for me to clear things up. “Aiden, I-”

“Please.” I says, cutting me off. “Just don’t say anything and let me talk.” He takes a breath and begins to speak. “I’m sorry for the kiss, I am. It’s just, you’re in my heart and I need to know if you fee-” I know the question he was about to ask, and I was going to answer him but suddenly, we hear someone yell, which Aiden off.

“Gun!” Is what the kid yelled and everyone begins to try and run and most duck to the ground. The gang of about five people begin shooting everything, everyone. Aiden pulls me to the ground just as I yell Spencer’s name to try and find her. Unfortunately she must not have heard me and the next thing I know I’m beneath Aiden.

“Aiden?” I ask worried. He’s not moving and I notice blood coming from his chest. I try and drag him quickly into the hallway and I sit against the door behind me so no one could come in if they tried. “Aiden!” I yell towards him. I unbutton his tux and see that he has two shots in his chest, near his heart. I pull out my cell phone and I call 911. They asks me questions but I’m too shaken up to answer correctly so I hang up.

I continue to hear the shots being fired. Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen. Suddenly the guns stop and I hear them run out of the building. Running back into the gym, I see tons of people hurt and tons of people hovering over the injured. The scene is horrifying, then I see her. Spencer, laying on the floor and Kyla by her side. Now I can’t move and I begin to shake. I think to myself, “I should have been protecting her.”

Paula about to leave the hospital.

A night of just Arthur and I alone. I’m so glad that we’re finally back to the way we were in Ohio. I place my last charts of the night on the desk and I grab my coat to head out as I think of this. “Paula!” I hear Ben yell. My first thoughts are ‘what now?’ but I ignore those and answer.

“Yeah?” That was good.

“Shooting at King High. You better come with me.” I’m in shock over this and I follow him and I see all the hurt teens from the shooting in the emergency room. Then Ben points to the left of me and I walk into a separate section where we place family members of hospital employees. I walk in and I see her, Spencer.

“Oh my god.” I say aloud grabbing my mouth.

“We’re sending her to surgery right now, we just need your approval.” I shake my head and they rush her off. I walk back into the emergency room, balling with tears. Ben comes in and says, “There’s more Paula.” I look up and he continues. “Clay’s girlfriend, Chelsea Lewis.” I look around me and I fall to the ground. What else could possibly happen to us.


Well, please let me know if you think i should continue or what. Believe me, i've planned this whole story out and it's going to get GOOOOD!!
