Chapter 7

I waited in the hospital waiting room. I stood up as I saw the doctor come out of Ashtons room. Luke and Kylie were both with me now.

"He's fine, a few broken ribs and a minor concusion. He should recover in about a week." The doctor said and I nodded.

"Can we see him?" I asked.

"Yes, of coarse." She said. I thanked her then looked over at Kylie and Luke.

"Come on." I said. They both stood up and we walked to his room. I opened the door and saw a bruised faced Ashton laying in bed with his eyes closed. I walked to his bed and sat down next to him. His left wrist was bandaged and I didn't exactly know because he promised me he wouldnt cut. And I was with him all day so I don't know how he could of.

Ashton groaned and opened his eyes.

"Hi Ash." I said.

"Hi." He said and smiled. I smiled a little and felt the tears threatening to slip my eyes.

"How you feeling?" I asked him.

"Okay." He said and sat up a little causing him to say ow a few times.

"You want medicine for the pain?" I asked. He nodded and I asked Kylie to go ask the doctor. She left and Luke looked at Ashton. Ashton pulled his wrists out from under the blanket and I saw Lukes eyes widen and he looked at me. I didn't know what to do. I just looked away and focused on Ashton. Kylie came back in and she handed Ashton the pills. As she stepped away she noticed the scars as well. She gasped a little, thank god Ashton didn't notice.

"It's getting kinds late. Do you guys want to go home?" I asked them. They both nodded and I followed them out of the room.

"H-he cuts?" Luke asked me. I nodded.

"This is what I meant by he's having a hard time. It's complicated and it's his personal buisness that he trusts me with. If he want so eventually tell you he can himself." I said. Kylie and Luke both nodded and Luke still looked shocked. I know Kylie knows why he trusts me, but Luke doest know I used to self harm.

"Is that why there's a bandage on his left wrist?" Luke asked.

"I honestly dont know why that is there. I was with him all day, except in the house when he got hurt." I answered.

"Oh." He said.

"Please don't be freaked out by him, he's still the same person you met." I said. Luke nodded and we said our goodbyes and he gave me a hug.

"I'll be home later." I said to Kylie. "Dont tell anyone what happened just tell them i'm studying with Ashton or something." I said.

"Alright, bye." She said and gave me a hug. I turned and walked back into Ashtons room. I went back to the seat bye his bed and sat down.

"Ashton?" I said.

"Yes." He asnwered.

"What is that bandage for?" I asked and pointed to the bandege on his wrist. "Did you?" I asked.

"No. My uncled um took a peice of glass and cut my wrist and said, Is that how you like it you peice of shit." He said then looked up at me with tears in his eyes. I felt them in my eyes as well.

"I'm so sorry." I said.

"It's not your fault." He said.

"It's not your either, okay?" I said to him.

"Okay." He said and a tear slipped his eye. "Christrian, why would you ever want to get into this mess?" He asked me.

"Because you come with this mess, and I love you." I said and grabbed his hand. I felt a tear slip my eye and i quickly whiped it away.
