Don't go

Chapter 14

Ashley's POV

Beep beep. Beep beep. Beep beep.

Don't freak out, Ashley. She still is breathing and her heart is working just fine. I mentally told myself holding Leslie's small fragile hand.

It has been 3 hours 22 minutes and 3 seconds since Leslie's heartache. It was only a small one, the doctor said Although, it could be a sign. And i have more disappointing news. He continues She fell into a comma. Now, I can't I let go of her hand. I feel like if I do, she'd go away.

Mom opened the door and came in from the cafeteria downstairs. A hot chocolate for me, and coffee for herself. She sat down On her chair before giving me my drink.

I blinked my eyes because I felt the tears almost rolling out of my eyes. I didn't want to cry but yet I really really wanted to so I distracted myself by taking the first sip of my hot chocolate.

I only hear mom's cries on how she should of done this and later do that and how she went to this building to free Four from something that was making him evil? I don't know.
