Spoiler below:
Next chapter, Ashen gets a ride to the location from his step mom and takes a gun out of her glove box. He goes in and sees the guys hanging off Sarath and points the gun, telling them to leave him alone. The gun goes off, but we don't see if anyone gets shot. The uploader DOES state that no one will die though, but doesn't say no one will get hurt or in trouble. The Step-mom does notice the gun is missing though, once she hears the gunshot.
The angst is real and it is coming. Ashen is NOT happy, nor thinking clearly and about to do something VERY BAD and VERY DUMB.
