Ashton
An hour later she had yet to go back to sleep, but was content watching a movie on her phone.
"So I have an appointment in an hour, but I can cancel it if you want me to stay with you." I told her, unsure of how she would react, but she looked to me calmly.
"Don't cancel it, I'll be okay." She told me."You sure?" I asked her, seeing her immediately nod.
"I mean, Luke will be checking in of course and I'm only one call away- I'll leave the appointment if you need me, just call me" I told her firmly, seeing her dimple come onto her cheek, telling me she was smiling.
"I'll be fine, ash"
An hour later I left her, having a counseling appointment with a girl who just came to discuss life basically, her mom wanting to be sure there wasn't more to what she was saying.
Ava.
I closed my eyes, wanting nothing but to sleep.
The blood.
I wasn't ever going to be able to sleep until I cleaned that shit.
So I got up, disconnecting my cords again, slipping my Vans on and walking straight out of the hospital without anyone even questioning it.
I then got an Uber, then driving me to the house.
I got out, going in without a second thought, thankful that the door was unlocked because I had no keys.
I got all the supplies I knew I needed, heading to her room.
I exhaled slowly.
I walked in, seeing the blood, it wasn't as bad as I remembered it, but still not good.
I started scrubbing.
I noticed his blood on Eve's favorite teddy bear.
"No" I mumbled to myself before immediately scrubbing it, praying it would come out.
Just as I got the stain almost completely out of the carpet, I heard the living room door open.
I got up quickly, looking out the window- seeing Ashton's car.
I exhaled, knowing he probably wouldn't be happy, but not exactly caring.
Soon I heard footsteps behind me as I scrubbed.
"Okay." I heard his voice exhale before he came into my line of vision.
He didn't speak
He grabbed one of the multiple brushes I had, starting to scrub a wall that a perfect handprint had slid down.
I pictured Jacob's blood hand dragging down it.
I shook my head, making myself stop
"You don't have to help" I told him, seeing him make eye contact with me.
"I'm not leaving you to do it alone,"
