Ashton had been sitting down in the waiting room for about two hours now. He's worried about Danielle, what if something bad happened to her. Ashton had dislocated a few fingers because he reached out to grab Danielle as she fell, but fell down with her and hit his fingers. He has them wrapped and in this case and he may have cried a little when they pulled them back into place.

"Danielle Englander," a voice calls. Ashton stands and the nurse walks over to him.

Ashton plays with his fingers that weren't just dislocated. "Is she... what... okay?" Ashton asks, words not being able to form.

The nurse smiles, looking down at the clipboard. "Is seemed that Danielle fainted due to the lack of food digestion and hydration," Ashton nods his head, biting his nails. The nurses eyes scan over to report. "And she's also on a 72 hour suicide watch as of right now."

The colour from Ashton's face goes pale. "Su-Suicide watch?" Ashton stutters, not believing that his ex, his lover, is on a suicide watch.

The nurse hums. "Danielle was found with multiple cuts on her arms, stomach and thigh, those on the arms being vertical and horizontally as if wanting to commit suicide, but never seemed to succeed, not saying she tried, but if she did, never did happen," Ashton nods his head, trying to process everything the nurse just said to him. "Would you like to see her? She's allowed one visitor— or well two, but we're keeping it at one as of right now until she's better."

Ashton nods his head and the nurse smiles as she leads him towards Danielle's room. All he got was suicide and that was it like... how can she hurt herself, was it his fault? And lack of food, he should've noticed when Danielle wasn't eating, he's there with them most of the lunch hour and Danielle never once ate the past two months, oh gosh, how could he have not noticed?

"She may or may not be asleep, just letting you know now," the nurse informs him. Ashton nods his head and he goes in thanking the nurse. He slowly closes the door behind him and walks, seeing a tube in her mouth, giving her fluids for the lack of food and what not.

Ashton bits his lip, tears threatening to spill. He grabs a chair, pulling it next to Danielle and grabs her bony hand and... how could Ashton have not seen the way she was so skinny earlier when they were out eating ice cream and he didn't notice the way Danielle would cringe every time she took a lick.

Ashton looks down at her marks, some already scars and some freshly new as if she had done them earlier before he hand gone. Ashton lets out a quiet sob, kissing Danielle's hand as he cries. "I'm so sorry princess. I'm so sorry I put you through this," Ashton cries, his head hung low. "I'm so selfish, saying all those things to you... I... I didn't mean to baby I'm so sorry. I love you, I can't even think of a future if you aren't here with me."

Ashton's soft sobs fill up the room. Ashton sniffs and notices a something in Danielle's other hand. He softly picks up the picture and frowns, seeing it's an ultrasound picture and he's wondering if Danielle's pregnant because the last time they had sex was five months and he frowns. He looks around and sees her name at the top along with her maiden name and then six weeks. It's a small blob, but it's still something growing inside.
