Remember Me

Chapter 27

Lily's POV:

Last night was different. In the sense of revolution. The first time I and Ashley had sex, it was rough, cold, and steamy and honestly felt more like a relief than a connection.

Yet this time, it felt stronger than a connection. No alcohol was involved, and it was two souls with clear minds with each other.

Our connection felt like it grew more this morning. I couldn't help but watched as she dressed how effortlessly she brushed her hair with her fingers. How she fits all my clothes, she is the one.

For the first time, I actually believe in love and I know we can bring out the best in each other. Yet I've noticed how she inhales have gotten lower and her heart started to beat lower. I couldn't help but overthink as we slept.

I pressed my hand onto her chest so that I can feel her heartbeat. So I can know that she's alive. We haven't talked about the events that took place when she was alone at the hospital, at least that's what she thinks. I put my number in the emergency contact folder so if anything happened I would be the first person to know.

She catches my glimpse and smiles. ''What? The outfit doesn't match me?'' she asked, and I immediately shook my head. I walk over to her and smile. ''You look amazing''

Her cheeks flushed as she twirled her hair underneath her ear. ''ready to meet the dad'' was said in a sarcastic voice which made her laugh even more. ''Why did you say it like that?' she laughed out, and I couldn't help but laugh as well knowing how stupid I sounded.

I open the door and I hear her say ''um I need to use the restroom really quick'' I look back and see how her face expression seemed numb. ''Yeah, is everything okay?'' she nods as she heads into the bathroom.

i head downstairs and see my dad prepare food as he places the plates on the table. 3 plates. He knows. I walk down to him and see as he looks up at me and asks ''So who's the girl?''

Well this is awkward. ''Ashley'' is all I could say as waited for her to head downstairs. I should probably go check on her. ''is she your normal what do you teens call it nowadays? Casuals? Hookys? After break-ups or is she...you know?your girlfriend?'' he asked taking sips of his coffee and I almost laugh at his attempts of modern language of hookups.

''I- I think we are getting there. Officially you know it's new and fresh. I like her'' I feel my self smiling as I thought of her already. I want her to be my girlfriend and I want to be hers. I just to be with her. ''Seems like you really like this girl'' he smiles, and I feel my cheeks flush from embarrassment seeing how obvious it is.

I checked my phone and it's been 8 minutes. ''I'm- i'm going to go and check on her'' i get up from the chair and head upstairs wondering why she's taking long.

I hear crying and i walk inside my room in an instant as i almost broke the door. I see her crying as she was on the phone. I close the door behind me and walk over to her as she wipes her eyes as she notices my presence. She hangs up her phone and quickly grabs her jacket and rushes to the door but i stop her. ''Hey-hey what happened?''

''My... my dad had a heart attack. His in the hospital and my sibling are in there with him... That's- that's why he or the hospital was calling me multiple times and i was here... I have to go'' She cries out and pushes me aside, and she opens the door.

''Let me drive you'' i follow her, and she doesn't reply instead she rushes away from both me and my dad. I watch her exit the house in a rush and I look through the window seeing a car already pulled up for her and she enters it as they drive away.

She needs someone. I have to go there. I grab the keys from the counter and my dad walks over to me.'' I feel like it's best to sit this one out. Family to family'' he says and i can't believe he would say that. ''She's obviously going through something so just wait until she calls you okay?'' He adds in, and I force myself to wait as I listen to him.

I hate myself to just watch her go and distant herself from me. Again. No I can't just stand here and let her go through this traumatic experience alone. ''I'm sorry but i can't'' I grip onto the keychain and head out. I rush to my car and drive to the hospital.

Took almost half an hour due to the traffic which caused me cussing off a few people but i finally make it to the hospital, I park and head out. I head inside and rush past everyone to the sign centre.

''Is Ashley Thompson signed in here?''

She types on the computer and nods her head. ''Okay where?'' She eyes me and points in a note shown behind the computer. ''Family visitor's only''

Fuck. I look at the signup sheet and see room 1789 with her name beside it. I rush down the no enter hall and rush down the halls till i made it to her.
