Ashton

"Didn't you say you were turning 19 in two weeks the first time I met you?" I asked.

"Yeah. My birthday was yesterday, the 18th." She looked down at her hands.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I've ruined your birthday." I apologized, feeling horrible.

I could tell she was crying.

"Happy birthday." I said, my voice not even near a whisper.

"Thank you." She said, starting to cry loudly.

"Please, don't cry." I sighed.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be."

"I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I have no idea why my dad is so mean."

"Hey, at least you have a dad." I said, instantly regretting it afterwards.

"What?" She said, her Italian accent slipping in.

"Nothing." I quickly said, hiding under the blanket that couldn't fully cover me.

"Fine."

"Dear, you have to go." I heard the nurse say.

"Oh. Bye Ashton." Connor said as I took the blanket off my face.

"Bye, Connor." I waved as she walked out the room.

"Oh, Ashton. You're going to a mental hospital."
