Things were getting increasingly harder for Brooke and Luna, attempting to look after themselves as well as the boys. It had been two days since the shooting and Ashton had woken up once while Brooke went home to shower, she had to admit she was completely gutted out of her mind. Calum and Luke had come out of surgery both in one piece and all good, neither having there lives in risk luckily. Brooke had gone and visited the other three boys quite often but mostly stayed with Ashton to see if he would wake up, to which he unfortunately didn't. It was breaking Brooke's heart to just sit here knowing all she could do was wait, wait for him to wake up on his own account.

Brooke hadn't gone home since Ashton woke up and she missed it that one time, she was worried it would happen again. Brooke was getting increasingly tired as each day passed by but she wouldn't miss Ashton walking up again for the world itself, she needed to see him and talk to him, feel him and tell him how much she loved him. It killed Brooke physically that she couldn't just wake Ashton up herself and apologise for all the thing she'd said, she couldn't believe how she had acted.

"Go home and rest Brooke, you're exhausted." Luna had told her for about the fifteenth time in ten minutes, her dull eyes turning towards Brooke with concern.

"No, I'm fine Luna." Brooke huffed in annoyance and turned back towards Ashton, admiring his cut covered beautiful face and tightening her grip on his hand.

"I'll call you if he wakes up and tell him you're in you're way but please, just go home and shower, rest for a bit in an actual bed, it won't do you no harm." Luna tried and tried to convince Brooke to go home and rest herself but she wouldn't listen, there was just no getting Brooke out of here.

Brooke's eyes became more droopy as she sat back in her seat more, gripping Ashton's hand even tighter in her own just to reassure herself that he was actually there and she wasn't going crazy with lack of sleep, her eyes finally closing and darkness taking over.

Brooke woke up a little later on, not aware what the time was or who was in the room but what she did know was that there were two people in the room whispering, born sounding so familiar.

"She hasn't moved from that seat since you first arrived in here." Huh?

"She looks exhausted." Who looks exhausted?

"She bloody is, that's the first time I've seen her sleep for a good few hours in a while." Oh . . .

"I'm sorry for what I did to her."Who's that's?

"It wasn't you're fault Ashton." Ashton!

Brooke fully woke up at the sound of her boyfriend name, her eyes quickly opening and her trailing around the room in panic. Brooke squinted in surprise at how bright the light was, shaking her head before opening them and moving her eyes towards the hospital bed.

"I will give you guys some privacy." Luna mumbled softly, walking towards the door and smiling at the pair before she was gone. Brooke and Ashton completely alone for the first time I so long.

"Babe.","Ashton." They both mumbled in sync, Ashton's arms opening widely for Brooke to step into them. Brooke got up immediately and ran over to her boyfrien sobbing, gripping onto him for her dear life.

"Oh god, I thought I'd lost you!" Brooke sobbed into his shoulder violently, her knees buckling slightly as she struggled to stand in her weakened state.

"Come here." Ashton whispered motioning for her to get into the bed with him, to which she did. Brooke slipped into the uncomfortable hospital bed and hugged him as gently as possible, trying her best to avoid his wounds.

"You will never loose me as long as I'm with you." Ashton whispered into Brooke's hair, pulling her body close to his and putting his fingers under her chin. Ashton looked deeply into her eyes before pressing his forehead against hers, his free hand placing itself into her cheek, closing his eyes.

"I love you so much." Ashton gasped slightly at his needy tone, not believing he was holding the woman he loved in his arms once again after so long when he thought he had permanently lost her for good.

"I love you too." Brooke whispered back with a smile, giggling softly at him. Ashton with need and desperation, grabbed onto the back of Brooke's neck and pulled her face closer to his, pressing his lips needing to hers. Their lips moved in perfect syncretism, both gasping at the longing constant they both so dearfully missed. Brooke with shaky hands carefully gripping onto the back of Ashton's neck, keeping him to her as close as possible.

"You don't have to be so nervous about touching me babe." Ashton chuckled, pressing his forehead against Brooke's and smiling at her.

"You just got shot four times and beaten up pretty badly, can you blame me?" Brooke closed her tear filled eyes and let out a shaky breath, shaking her head at the horrid thoughts of how much pain he must of been in.

"I'm fine honestly, it doesn't hurt much, i'm just a little sore." Ashton smirked at Brooke and pulled her closer to him so that she was straddling his lap, Brooke's body trembling in fear of hurting him more than she already had.

"I'm fine, stop worrying." The thought pained him that the girl he loved was so scared to touch him, even after everything. Brooke shakily grasped the back of his neck and pulled his body closer to hers, remembering that he was naked underneath the hospital gown, making her laughing.

"What's so funny?" Ashton asked suspiciously, squinting his eyes playfully at the colourful haired girl straddling him waist.

"I just remembered you're naked underneath you're gown." Brooke giggled, "I don't know why that's funny, don't ask. I bet it's the effect of the lack of sleep I have had." She shook her head.

"Speaking of which," Ashton paused to look down and playing with their now intertwined hands, "Why did you come? I thought you hated me. . ."

"Ashton I could never hate you no matter what happens between us, you're my boyfriend, my soulmate and the person I absolutely and utterly am deeply in love with." Brooke smiled sadly leaning forward and pressing her forehead against his once again, "You gave me a heart attack Ashton, I thought I'd lost you for good. . . Do you know how I felt when I got that phone call from the nurse? Telling me that my boyfriend was in critical condition and in hospital. . ."

"I swear to god if you scare me like that again, I'm getting to beat the shit into you my self." Ashton chuckled at his girlfriends words and closed his eyes with a smile on his face.

"I understand perfectly, I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you before we went, I just didn't think that you would want to hear from me after. . . What happened between us. I'm so sorry I was such an asshole to you, i'm so sorry that I ignored you. . you didn't deserve that kind of treatment after loosing a baby. I just didn't know how to react, I thought that baby would be another chance at happiness for us both after all the shit that had happened, I didn't realise how much I wanted thi-that baby until we lost it." Ashton mumbled, his tear filled eyes flicking up to meet his Brooke's tear stained ones.

"It's okay, I forgive you as long as you can forgive me. I've just had so many people leave me and ignore me for so long that it hits a place deep in my heart." Brooke paused to take in a deep breath of much needed air, "But please I beg of you, don't ever ignore me again and you don't ever scare me like that again." Ashton nodded agreeing.

"I promise baby, I love you so much."

"I love you so much too." Brooke nodded and pressed her lips to Ashton's, gripping his neck tighter and shifting on his waist, a grown escaping his mouth and his hands gripping Brooke's tightly.

"Don't. Move." Ashton hissed into her mouth, pressing his lips a little more forcefully to hers. His hips moved up to hers causing Brooke to gasp as she felt the bulge forming.

"How is that you've just been in a horrible accident and you're horny?" Brooke laughed shaking her head, both looking down at his gown.

"You're just too hot for you're own good." Ashton chuckled, a laugh escaping Brooke as she shook her head. Brooke pressed her lips against Ashton's one last time before getting up and sitting in the chair beside his bed, just in time as the doctor came in.
