Is Barbie Blonde Preggers?

There's Only So Much A Girl Can Handle

Recap from last chapter;

I made my way out of Starbucks feeling satisfied with the two gingerbread men I carried for me and Ash. I admired the red gum drops and smelt the rich smell of ginger. Just as I was turning the corner I dropped my gingerbread men viewing the sight in front of me. Ashleigh let out a loud scream, sending the birds swarming out of the nearby tree as Liam stood holding a blood-stained knife...

~~~

I was awoken by the loud footsteps and talking entering the room. My eyes fluttered open and it was my instinct to look to my right where Ashleigh was fast asleep in her hospital bed. Looking at her tear-stained face brought back the flood of memories from that night at starbucks, in the carpark...

Flash back;

I ran over to my best friend holding onto my baby bump. Liam turned around seeing me and a bunch of emotions appeared on his face before speeding into the opposite direction to me through the trees. I looked back at Ashleigh who was in pieces. I made it over to her just as she dropped to her knees clutching her stomach. Tears began streaming down my own face as I screamed for help. Just as I was about to give up hope a lady came rushing over to us. I tried to explain to her what happened but it was hard as tears were just falling and I couldn't think straight. All I could think about is whether Ashleigh and her baby was going to be ok. It was not long after that the ambulance arrived and it was when I was helping Ashleigh onto the stretcher that realisation hit me like a tonne of bricks. Ashleigh had got stabbed in the stomach. She cried uncontrollably by my side all the way to the hospital. I tried to calm her down but she just carried on screaming through her tears, clutching her stomach. When we arrived at the hospital they told me to wait outside her room but I couldn't. My best friend needed me and I needed to make sure she was going to be ok. I started screaming and shouting at the doctors before a pair of hands hugged me from behind trying to calm me down. It was Sam.

"Miss Summers?" A male police man said knocking me from my thoughts. I quickly wiped a tear away which had escaped and stood up.

"Have you found him?!" I asked frantically but he shook his head.

"It has been two weeks Miss Summers. He could be anywhere or moved countries, anything-"

"Why couldn't you stop him?! Couldn't you have let all the police know in diferent countries-" I babbled on.

"Well it's not as easy as that. By the time we had all the information we needed he must of escaped to another country..."

"Well why didn't you work quicker! Why do you have to take so long getting all this information when we know it's him! I saw it! I know him! But no...Because of all you lot taking the piss it has caused us to loose him! This is my best friend! Just look at her!" I screamed in his face before Sam came out of no where and pulled me into a gentle hug. I took deep breaths, inhaling his familiar scent. He smoothed down my hair trying to calm me down. Once I had calmed down I looked back into the empty space where the police man originally stood. I sighed and went to sit down next to Ashleigh. I stared at her face as her eyes began to open. They were all red and puffy and her face was as pale as a white crayon.

"Hey Ash" I greeted with a smile which she returned with a weak one back.

She's barely spoken a word to anyone since being here. I've never left her side apart to get something to eat or go the toilet and them usual jobs. My eyes were beginning to become really heavy from lack of sleep. Ashleigh tends to wake up during the night screaming and crying about her baby and I would have to calm her down. It breaks my heart to see her like this. She can't seem to process in her brain that she has had a miscarriage. This must be so hard to go through. I don't know how I would cope-
