Chapter 23

"Time waits for no man. Time heals all wounds. All any of us can want, is more time. Time to stand up. Time to grow up. Time to let go." - Meredith Grey

Jackson's POV

Jamie has been acting different ever since her sister and her had that argument the night she came home from the hospital. She doesn't let Abby near Ashley, or even me.

However, I wouldn't want to be around Ashley without Jamie around. All day when Ashley and I were alone without Jamie, she would never leave my side. She always hung on to me like I was her property.

Newsflash, I'm nobody's property.

But I am Jamie's, and Jamie is mine, so I would never ever want another girl. Jamie is the love of my life. Ashley should know when to keep to herself.

"Hey Ashley, I'm going to the hospital while I prep for a facial reconstruction, will you be fine on your own today?" I ask her as I look around the kitchen for my car keys, carrying Abby in my hands, along with her heavy diaper bag.

I hear Ashley walk down the hallway, sighing lightly. I look up at her and notice her in one of my shirts. I begin feeling uncomfortable, as she moves over to the coffee maker.

"Why are you wearing one of my shirts?" I ask Jamie's sister, as I keep looking around.

"Looking for these?" Jamie asks as she walks into the kitchen, chuckling under her breathe at me. She stops dead in her tracks as she notices her sister wearing one of my t-shirts walking around the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Jamie asks her sister as I watch her facial expression fall. She looks up at me, and then towards her sister in disgust.

"I didn't have anything else to wear, and I saw this laying around so I thought you wouldn't mind." Ashley says calmly as she stirs her creamer into the coffee mug. Jamie shakes her head lightly.

"Then leave Ashley! If you don't have anything to wear, you need to go! You were planning on staying here for the weekend and now.. Now you're staying here for weeks? Does dad know you aren't attending school? It's like you dropped everything and left!" Jamie shouts as Ashley shakes her head, setting her coffee cup on the table.

"I did, Jamie! I dropped everything and left! After Mom died, I wasn't the same person. I had a boyfriend, straight As, a ton of friends! I never had that in high school! Now everything has changed, and I needed you Jamie, but you don't need me. You have a husband, a kid, you are a highly ranked surgeon! I'm sorry I'm wearing your husbands' shirt, I just needed to be where you are. You'll see me on the next plane out, okay?" Ashley picks up her coffee cup, storming down the hallway, slamming the guest bedroom door.

I look over towards Jamie, sighing, letting her know my presence. She looks back at me, sighing as well.

"You think I need to talk to her, don't you?" Jamie asks me as I watch her cross her arms, looking at me for answers.

"I don't know what has happened in the past with you guys, but just know that I love you and I'm always here for you, okay?" I tell her as I walk over to her, smiling down lightly at her.

"Oh shut up." Jamie kisses my cheek lightly as she laughs softly, walking out the front door.

"Hey, you have the keys!" I shout as I chase after her, while Abby giggles softly in my arms.

Jamie's POV

It's been a week since the incident happened in the kitchen with Ashley and let me tell you one thing, it has not stopped. I always feel like I need to be around Jackson cause of Aswhore. See what I did there?

My mean thoughts get interrupted when I hear Abby crying in the next room, probably needing attention. I quickly grab the stuff I'm working on and walk into her nursery. However, I stop myself when I drop a piece of paper on the floor. I sigh, before dropping everything and picking up the sticky note.
