The plane ride was a stressful one, Ashton fell asleep after we got situated in our seats. Before we got on the plane we called his mom and she said that he was still in surgery but everything was going well which took some weight off of Ashton's shoulders but he was still worried, something could still go wrong.

Ashton woke up about 30mins ago to the flight attendant on the intercoms saying there was an hour left. His leg Has been non-stop shaking, I tried to calm him down but it didnt work he was too worried about Harry. I can't blame him though if this was Calum in the hospital I would be this worried maybe even more. "Hey its gonna be ok, trust me," I said grabbing his hand, Kissing the back of it, and looking up to his worried expression "You promise," He asked me, I took a second to think myself, of all the possible outcomes of the situation and all I could say was "Yeah, I promise"

Once the plane landed we got our bags and got off as quick as we could, as soon as we made it inside we called an Uber to the hospital. When we made it to the hospital we put our bags in his mom's car and hurried to the 15th floor where we saw Ashton's mom sitting in the waiting room. "MOM" Ashton yelled which made her run over pulling him into a hug "How is he" I heard Ashton say "he's still in there they should be done soon," she said letting him go of the hug. "You must be Katie," she said pulling me into a hug "Im Anne Marie, It's nice to finally meet you, Ashton talks about you all the time," she said making Ashton mutter a 'mom' under his breath that caused us both to laugh. "Where is Lauren?" Ashton asked "she's at a friend's house, I didnt want her here if something went wrong," Anne said.

It's been about an hour since we got here and they're still in surgery, Ashton sent his mom to the car to get some sleep while we stay here in the waiting room. When they saw that we were getting uncomfortable they led us to a patent room and they would send the surgeons in here "Hey Katie" Ashton said looking at me "hmm?"I said looking back at him "What if something goes wrong, what if we lose him and I don't get to say goodbye" He said I could tell he wanted to cry by the shaking of his voice "baby don't think like that" I said in a soothing voice "come here" he said while pulling me onto his lap, one leg on either side of him. "Im scared," he said putting his hands on my sides and I put mine on the back of his neck "I know you are," I said as tears formed in his eyes which made me pull him closer to my chest where he gave in to the tears and broke down.

After Ashton was done crying I layed down with him falling asleep on top of me, when his mom walked in he was completely out. "He loves you," She said quietly "So I've been told," I said laughing softly. " He always talks about how happy you make him, after High school ended he didnt know what he was gonna do with his life so he stayed up locked in his room, to the point where I sent him out to college with Micheal just so he would get out of the house" "Oh-" before I got a chance to say anything else Ashton started to wake up. "Hey," He said in a raspy voice moving farther up on me so his head was in the crook of my neck "Hi," I said playing with the ends of his hair, while Anne went out to with the doctor who had gotten out of surgery when Ashton woke up, " Is he out yet?" "Yeah your mom just went to talk with the doctor, do you wanna go out there" "Yeah," He said lifting himself off me, pulling me up with him as I walked to the door "Wait," he said and I turned around "I want a kiss, it will make me feel better," he said putting out his bottom lip "Aww baby don't look at me like that," I said walking over to him "haha but you came over here," he said pulling me even closer by my waist which made me wrap my arms around the back of his neck. He stood there and stared at me smiling for a minute "You gonna kiss me or not?" I said as he leaned down and connected our lips "I love you" he whispered putting his forehead on mine "I love you more" I whispered back "nope that's impossible" he said which made us laugh and start walking out the door.
