Ashley’s POV
I couldn’t believe what I was reading as I scrolled through the article on Kerrang’s website. They’d gotten wind of Isis being in hospital, apparently a ‘fan’ had seen the three of us in the waiting area yesterday and sent the pictures to the editor, and they had the whole story wrong.

‘Drug overdose for Outlaw’s girlfriend?
News has reached us that the girlfriend of Black Veil Brides bassist, Ashley Purdy, has been admitted to hospital for a drug overdose. It is unclear whether it was intentional or not as the bassist has so far refused to comment. Sources say that Isis is unconscious but doing well. The drummer, Christian Coma, who was getting cozy with an as yet unidentified woman who appears to be noticeably pregnant, were pictured in the waiting area after the group had gone to New York for a fan meet up. The group seemed in good spirits despite the situation. More to follow as the story progresses.’

This was a new low for a magazine that was supposed to be a big supporter of the band. Andy had called earlier telling me about the article and wanting to know if there was any more news. We’d filled them all in late last night about what had happened after Isis had been settled into a ward. She was still unconscious but the CT scan showed no damage, it was just a case of when she was going to wake up. I sighed as Gemma and CC arrived after they’d gone back to the hotel for the night.

“You ok?” Gemma asked, I shook my head and passed her my cell with the article open. She looked pissed off “I thought they were a decent mag?” She asked after reading it and passed it to CC.
“Me too,” I said, “I just wish they had the full story before speculating, sucks that they also brought you two into this.”
“Yeah, I’ve been getting tweets all day asking who the girl is and if the baby’s mine.” said CC. Gemma sighed.
“Maybe it’s time to tell the fans about us.” she said to CC, he nodded in a sad agreement, They’d wanted to keep them out of the public eye, as they are both very private people.
“And I need to set the record straight with Kerrang,” I said, “I can’t believe this.” CC gave me back my cell. I decided on an instagram post, as I’d be able to write more with that than twitter. I screen shot the article and began to type.

‘Ok I wanna set you all straight regarding this article. Yes, Isis is still unconscious, no, the overdose was not intentional. Her drink was spiked with an almost lethal dose of Rohypnol. We have the police involved so cannot comment on what happened, and I know Isis won’t want you all to know the ins and outs of what happened. She is stable now, it was touch and go for a long time last night. I haven’t left her bedside. I hope you can let us have our privacy during this difficult time and not badger us with constant questions. Sorry to be blunt but I am not happy with @KerrangMagazine_ for this, this was not supposed to be public knowledge, we may be in the public eye, but we deserve our privacy too, and whoever it was that sent the pictures in, I hope you feel like shit for what you’ve done. A private life is called that for a reason. However, if Isis agrees, then I will update you all when she wakes up and when she’s out of this place.’

I posted the picture. It wasn’t long before the trolls came out of the woodwork. I ignored them. I saw Gemma and CC writing their posts. CC wasn’t happy. I waited for them both to finish before looking again at Instagram, They’d done a bump picture to upload.

CC posted on to his twitter which included a link to tweetlonger.
@ccbvb: Ok, yes the woman with us last night is my girlfriend, and she wants to remain out of the spotlight, so I won’t name her on here, and yes she is pregnant, and the baby is mine, the baby’s due at the end of October. My girlfriend and I want to keep as much a possible private, as she is not comfortable with everyone knowing every part of our lives. This is the reason we didn’t say anything when we first started dating, so please respect that.

Gemma had posted to her instagram too.
‘Chipmunkcalling: Yep I can confirm I am pregnant, and loving it, I just hate that a certain magazine that I used to read has imposed on a friends privacy and written what they have, leave us alone and find some real news!’

I laughed at Gemma’s post. I dread to think what Isis’ reaction will be to this. I can imagine her being really pissed off. A little while later I looked at the article again, They’d added mine and CC’s posted as an update and added a congratulations and a link to a new article about Gemma and her pregnancy, but as CC hadn’t revealed who she was. She was still ‘The woman who is yet to be named’. I looked to Gemma and CC.
“Look,” I said, “I’m sorry about what happened while you were away Gemma, I never meant for any of it to happen, I know it’s probably ruined the friendship between you and Isis, but I am really sorry.” Gemma held her hand up to me.
“I don’t want to hear it,” she said, my face fell, "All is forgiven, if these past couple of days has shown me is that life is too short to hold grudges.” For a moment, I thought she was still hating me, but at the last part, I hugged her smiling at CC, who nodded in agreement.

I looked over at Isis, and was startled to see that she was awake and watching us with a blank expression.
"Isis?" I asked, a bit worried.
"Mmm?" She responded, I stared at her a bit confused.
"How are you feeling?" I stood up and walked over to her. Her eyes widen and she looked over to Gemma.
"Uhh... What is Ashley Purdy doing here?" She notices CC. "Hi CC!" She waved, a bit too excited to see him. CC waved politely.
“Wait,” I said, “Don’t you remember? I’m your boyfriend.” I hear her heart monitor beep faster as she laid there in silence.
"Why is he saying he's my boyfriend?" She continued to ask Gemma, ignoring me. "Wait, what are you doing here?"
“Cuz he is, and I moved over here to be with CC” Gemma replied, “What’s the last thing you remember?” She was acting like she had never met me before, like I was the Ashley she was obsessing over a year ago. I sat back down and rested my elbows on my knees.
"The last thing I remember is the night before warped tour, I was planning everything out.." She spoke. "Where are my parents?" She started looking around.
“They’re on their way,” I said, “I called them last night when you were still unconscious, we’re in New York, and it’s March, you don’t remember anything at all from those months?” I asked her still hopeful. She shook her head.
"I'm sorry but no. I kinda wish I did though. Especially if it meant I was with you this whole time." She grinned.
“We are together,” I said, “I asked you on your birthday, and we’ve been together ever since.” I went back over to her. I can see the excitement build up inside her as I got closer to her. At that moment I realized that she was just looking at me through eyes of a fangirl rather than someone who actually loved me.
"That's one hell of a party then." She smiled again. "How drunk were you when you decided to ask someone like me?"
“I’d had a couple,” I said, “But that was more for dutch courage than anything, you were way more drunk than me.” I chuckled remembering the night.
"There's no way this could've happened. I'm nobody special. You're Ashley fucking Purdy, there are a ton of other better chicks out there that are better than me. You're too good for me. This is just a joke. I'm pretty sure today is still the day of warped in Phoenix..." She thought a bit to herself. "I don't know how that would explain why you guys are here.. But I dunno. It's awesome though!"
“We’ve been through this a thousand times before,” I told her, “You’re the one I love, and the only one I love. If anything you’re too good for me, You’ve helped me see that I can be happy away from all the partying. But I know you don't remember me so if you wanna start from scratch I'll understand." I looked looked down at the floor.
"Any opportunity I have just to go on a date with you, is fine with me."
"Oh god, fangirl Isis is back," laughed Gemma, "Ashley, CC run!"
"I told you not to say anything if this day came!" She yelled at Gemma.
"I know and I didn’t the first time," she said, "So I kept my promise.'
"Since we're on a subject of revealing things." Isis said, "Gemma writes smut about you guys!"
"We know," said CC winking, "We've acted out a few scenes." Gemma slapped his shoulder.
"Oh my god!" Isis said laughing. "But CC, I thought we had something special!" Everyone took a breath, they looked at me with a worried expression.
“That’s just fangirl talk," said Gemma saving the moment, “Don’t listen to her, CC, you’re all ours.” Isis sat there looking confused. I shifted about uncomfortably.
“I’m gunna go tell a doctor you’re awake,” I said and walk out the room.
“Dude you ok?” Asked CC, following me to further up the hallway.
“No.” I said and left it at that, walking off to find her doctor.
"Dude!” he said following me, “Talk to me, whats going on?”
“She doesn’t remember any of us, except Gemma.” I said, “she doesn’t remember that we were just getting back on track after everything! She doesn’t remember how much I love her or how much I care about her. Nothing! It's all gone! She's just a fangirl now!” CC looked at me.
”No,” he said, “She’s still in there somewhere, she was a fangirl when we met her last year, and look at how she much she changed before this, we can get her back, but it’ll take time. She knows everything deep down, but that part of her is buried until she’s ready to come back, that’s one of the side effects, Gemma looked it up last night, it’s temporary.” I looked at him, why did I not think too look up what could happen? Is that why they were so relaxed about this?
“Come on,” he continued, “Let’s go find her doctor, he’ll be able to tell us more.” I nodded and followed him to find the doctor.

Notes

Boom. And here is your late update and its all Gemma's fault!

Hahaha anyways, watch out! Fangirl Isis is back! Dun dun dun...
Okay it really is sad though and to be honest I was nearly in tears as we were writing this, but yeah. Enjoy!

<3, IsisChaos
