In the Spotlight

Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Ash was in the shower running a cold shower over her as she just cried curled up. She didn't care about life, she was staring at the wall thinking about what she would do now since she can't be friends with Namjoon or even BTS anymore.

"Ash?" she heard.

She didn't answer. She didn't want to be found. She wanted the cold water to be pins and needles poking her back, arms and legs.

She heard voices as she heard the shower get shut off, and as soon she starts to shiver, she was pulled up to stand, and a big towel around herself.

"Please, just let me be," she said, shivering while the water and tears fell.

Her mind faded in and out as there were voices in her bedroom talking. Soon, she felt the familiar arms around her and holding her close, and the familiar smell, right away she knew it wasn't Harry. She relaxed and cried into his shirt.

"I Namjoon, vow to be best friends forever," he whispered. "We will stay in touch for as long as we live. I Namjoon, promise my eonni, Ashlyn that I will be there for her," she heard in her ear. "I promise to protect her at any cost."

Ash tears up, "Namjoon."

"I won't let you end this friendship," he told her. "I can't. You mean too much to me and my hyung."

Ash replies, "But... I am not allowed to see you."

"No, the Duchess told them off."

"What?" she asked looking up at him. "How?"

She saw Kate in the doorway to the bathroom smiling, "I told Edward that I order him to back off and let you do what you want."

"But... Why are you all up here?"

"We're making sure that you all pack your stuff to take back to the hotel along with you and Sean," Michelle smiles coming in.

"I'm not allowed to leave," she frowns.

"Not when I told him to back off," Kate smiled.

"What... you told him off?"

"Hey, you have someone that loves you. They'll just never understand what you two have." Kate smiles at them as they were still hugging each other.

"And I asked the girls downstairs to supervise the adults so that they can't stop you," Michelle smiled.

"Now, How about getting dressed and getting repacked to head back to the hotel with these guys," Kate winks.

"Seriously?" Ash asked, tearing up looking at Namjoon.

"Please?" he asked, holding her close. "I don't want to leave you here alone."

"Kate and I are making sure that you leave with them," Michelle adds.

"Thank you," Ash said.

Namjoon kisses the top of her head, "I'm going to go pack up. Are you okay getting dressed alone?"
Ash nods, "If I can get some clothes."

"On it," Michelle said and left with Namjoon behind her.

Ash looks at the floor, "Thank you Kate. I don't know what his issue is with me lately?"

"What are sisters for?" she asked as they smiled, "You're fine, you are a big girl and can take care of herself," Kate smiled. "Now, let's get you dressed and get you guys all out of here."
