Chapter 4

I woke up on a white room, with someone holding my hand while sleeping on my bedside.

Where am I? What happened?

I tried to take my hand from the one holding it, but he stirred, and squeezed my hand tightly. Then he woke up. I was surprised to find out that it was Nick holding my hand and sleeping beside my bed. Why are we here? Why is he holding my hand? I tried to squeeze back to let him know I'm awake. Then he realized what I did.

"Ashley? Are you alright? Is there anything you want? Are you thirsty?" he whispered to me kind of frantic.

"Nick, where are we? What happened?" I whispered back, I realized my throat is dry, so dry.

"We are in the hospital, don't you remember what happened?" he said to me.

I tried to remember what happened. But all I can remember was a voice singing me to sleep. So familiar voice.

I shook my head. "No, I can't remember anything." I tried to choke.

"It's alright, it'll come to you soon. Just don't force it, it might give you a headache." He told me while holding my hand.

"Where's Gray? Where's everybody?" I asked him.

"Gray's with your parents they went home to get you clothes. My family went home to catch up some sleep." He told me with a reassuring smile.

"And why are you here? Did you sleep here? Why did you do that? You could've let Gray stay and...and look over me... You shouldn't have done that." I told him, tears threatening to fall from my eyes but I tried to control it. I don't want him to see me vulnerable. Why did he do this? Who am I?

"Ash, it's fine, it's alright really, I volunteered. Gray was here last night. She was assigned to look over you last night. It's supposed to be Joe's turn but I suggested I should be looking after you today. Besides he needs sleep. I got enough sleep so don't worry bout it, alright? And I got lucky you woke up during my shift. You got lucky too." He told me in a soothing and teasing voice.

"Why?" I asked

"Because if you woke with everyone around, you would be bombarded with lots of questions, like "What happened to you? Are you alright? Do you want anything?" and expect that it would come from anyone in the room especially your parents and my mom. Do you want that?" he told me.

"You're absolutely right." I told him with a thank you smile on my face. He smiled back.

"So, stop the frantic questioning of why am I here and just say thank you..." he told me with a laugh.

"Thank you..." I told him laughing too.

Then he got up and took his guitar and a glass of water for me.

"Don't say anything, I know you're thirsty so just drink this." He told me

I took a sip and realized how thirsty I am. I drank all the water in the glass. Then he laughed at me. I was humiliated, and blushed furiously. I wanted to throw a pillow straight to his face if not for the guitar he was holding I would've done what I was thinking. So instead, I gave him a warning look. Then he stopped laughing, and muttered "Sorry" with an apologetic smile.

He started strumming. Then, sang,

She walks away

Colors fade to gray

Every precious moment's now a waste

She hits the gas

Hoping it would pass
