*3 weeks later*
Ashley's POV :
"You healed pretty quick Ashley. Only 3 weeks and your wrist is all better. Hitting that closet pole could've done worse damage. You got lucky though. Now I have to do an examination." I sighed and started removing my shirt and pants. He wasLooking at every inch of my body. "Uh Ashley.. remove the bandanas and bracelets" he said tugging at them. I took them off. "Ashley.. I told you that you needed to stay clean. Doesn't the antidepressants help?" I Shook My Head no. "Then you aren't taking them right. Those are the best kind. You have to take the-" I interrupted "yeah yeah I know. Two in the morning with water. I do that but it doesnt-" "Ashley, stop making excuses. Tomorrow we will be by to take you to the ridge for help." I got kind of mad. I got dressed and stormed off.

I walked out to the waiting room and dialed Jinxx's number to come and get me. 20 minutes later he beeped the horn. I walked over and got in the car.

"So where you wanna go?" He asked me while pulling out onto the street. "eh I don't care. Home? That'd be good." i said with an attitude. Jinxx nodded "Alright I'll take you home. But we're hanging out tomorrow" he said taking his eyes off the road to glance at me. "Alright" I mumbled.

He Dropped me off At My House. I went into the living room waiting for my foster mom or dad to come home. They haven't been home since I was in the hospital. "Guess it's another night alone" I said walking to the fridge. I got me some Coldcock whiskey and walked up to my room.

I grabbed the bottle of antidepressants that I've been taking for 2 and a half weeks and read on the bottle "do not mix with alcohol" I laughed and threw 2 in my mouth, threw the bottle, and chugged the whiskey. Not like they help anyways. I sat down in the corner wondering why my life was like this. Why can't I just be happy. Or better yet why can't I just die? If someone killed me I'd thank them for actually doing it. You know, if it was possible.

I stared blankly at the wall with sudden flashbacks of the past month and a half. Me almost dying.. me not forgiving Andy when he did nothing wrong. I suddenly lost it when I had flashbacks of Andy. "HE DID NOTHING FUCKING WRONG. IT'S ALL MY FAULT. ALL MY FAULT.-" I stood up and slammed my fist on the lamp causing blood and glass to splatter everywhere "-all my fault.." I mumbled to myself while crying. I slid down the Wall and slammed my head back "it's all my fault. It's all my fault." I cried uncontrollably then started to hyperventilate. My heart began Pounding really fast and I could barely breathe. I texted jinxx to come get me.

When he arrived my chest pains had already increased from a 2 to an 8. I began clutching my chest as he picked me up panicking. Rushing me into his car. I blacked out as soon as we got to the hospital.

"Hey babe." I heard Andy's Angelic voice say. My eyes lit up when I saw him. I hugged him tight "I missed you so much." He kissed my forehead. "I know.. I miss you too Ash." he sat down beside me. "Whyd you do it Andy?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "Same reason why you almost did. Because I can't live without you. I didn't want to Ashley. You're My whole life. I - I love you Ash.." He stuttered a little then hid his face. I touched him gently feeling his warmth "Andy I'm so sorry" tears slid down my face. "I love you too. I just.. i didn't know how you'd feel." He looked up and held my hand "if I didn't love you or at least like you, do you think I'd go through all that shit for you?" I layed my head on his chest, my tears staining his skin "Andy please come back.. I need you. The boys need you. Why Didn't I Die instead Of you?" He Caressed my face "because.. it wasn't your time to pass away.my times been long over due." "Wait does that mean I'm dead now? I see you, I can touch you and everything?" I asked very confused. "No Ashley. You're not dead. You went into a coma. See. I'll show you." I grabbed his hand and we stood up off the bed. I saw myself lifeless on the bed hooked up to machines "So wait.. I won't get to see you anymore unless I'm almost dead?" Andy hugged me "That's up to you Ashley. You have to be careful about your decisions." He leaned forward and I met him half way. When our lips touched he vanished.

I began seeing my self move so I got back in the spot. I gained full control of my body. My head hurts so bad though. I looked at my arms and they were wrapped up a little so was my head.

Andy came into the room and walked up to my bed "Ashley I'm so sorry I-" I cut him off by jerking up and grabbing him. I began crying. "Ashley I don't understand.. I'm the reason why you're in here." I wiped my eyes "wait how are you the reason?" Andy looked at me confused "um.. don't you remember. I yelled at you and caused you to almost die. I found you in the janitors closet" he stopped, waiting for me to respond.

Wait what? I never recovered from that and he never killed himself.. tha-at was all a dream? Andy stood there confused so i started asking questions "wait so you didn't kill yourself?" His eyes got big. Dumb question Ashley. "No" he replied. "It was all just a dream!" I yelled, crying a little louder. "Andy I missed you so much!" He hugged me back "I missed you too Ashley." He said sniffling.

Please read below.
So everything that happened was a dream. When Ashley "woke up" he didn't actually wake up. It was him seeing how wrong his choices could have been and how it would impact his future. It's kind of a wakeup call that words do hurt and no matter how mad you are the other person could be sensitive. Hope you're enjoying especially this chapter. Many more to come.
