What have I missed?

Chapter 11: Louis

"Ashleigh, wake up"

Well this seems familiar, not long ago I was being begged to wake up from a coma. Is this what this is? All I can see is darkness. I cautiously opened my eyelids and felt a sudden surge of pain flash through my head. My forehead is aching and I think my eye is bruised. I looked around at the blue walls  surrounding me with all sorts of different photos and posters covering most of the blue. "Hey, you're awake!" I saw to my left Louis staring at me with his face smiling widely and his blue eyes sparkling in the sunlight creeping through the window. He is just so attractive. I suddenly realised I had been staring at him for too long and immediately looked in another direction and coughed awkwardly to fill the silence. "Where am I?" I asked hoping I didn't sound too dumb. "You're in my bedroom, after Katherine knocked you out I shouted a bit at her and her friends and carried you to my house, I couldn't possibly leave you" I smiled at the thought of being carried back to Louis' bedroom by him, something I had dreamed of many times before. 

Me and Louis talked a while, about school, about how horrible the popular girls are, and we even ended up on the topic of Alice for a while before I decided it was the right time to go home and told Louis i'd see him at school and thanked him for rescuing me. I can't stop thinking about him, Louis had liked me, before my accident, we could have been together, things might have been different. But right now, they are messed up. 

When I got home my mum was watching Iron man 2 with Mark. Usually i'd jump at the chance to watch Iron man  with my mum, but Mark was there too, as usual. So I told them I was tired and began walking upstairs to my room. 

"Ash, I need to ask you something!" I turned around and looked at my mum's enthusiastic smile. 

"Did you wanna be my bridesmaid?" I forgot about the wedding. I did not want to be part of this wedding and pretend we are one big happy family, we never will be untill my mum realises she is better off alone, she has me, alex and amy. Why does she need a husband? "urm, can i go think about it?" I asked in a plain tone. "Uh, oh ok, sure, take as much time as you need" I could tell she was not expecting this answer and was upset about it,  it made me feel guilty.
