Ali's pov
I noticed Ash had fallen asleep and it was super cute! She's so beautiful when she sleeps. Then the doctor walks in. "How is Ashlyn doing," he asks. "Better, but I am worried about her concussion. I think it's worse than we thought. Also she is now complaining that her back hurts," I say. "Ok, well if you could wake her up and get her to eat something that would be a good idea," he said and then walks out the door. I gently rub ash's back and she starts whimpering in pain. "Baby, you gotta wake up and eat something ok?" "No, I don't want to! My back hurts really bad," ash says wiping away her tears. "Please baby, you gotta eat something. Do you want the other piece of pop tart from earlier that I was eating?"
"Sure," she says reaching for the pastry. Then the doctor walks in and asks "how are you doing Ashlyn?" "Eh...... My back really hurts." "Can you roll onto your side so I can take a look?" "Sure, can you help me Ali?" "Yes,"I say helping her to get on her side. I could tell she was in a lot of pain. So I grab her hand a rub her cheeks. "Well your back is very bruised up, which is a little concerning so I say we should take x-rays," he says. "Ash, are you up for that?" I ask. "Yeah, anything to help. It really hurts." Ash says which crushes my heart to know that my baby is in pain.
1 hour later
Ali pov still
They roll Ash back into the room and say that there are no breaks or cracks. "I believe she tore her back muscles which is very painful," the doctor says. I nod my head in response. "Hey ash baby. How you feeling?" I ask. "Not good," this really hurts!" "Well it's late so why don't you try and get some rest?" I mention. "Ok, but can you lay with me?" "Yes," I say. I slip on something and accidentally smash my shoulder into Ash's head. "Ouch," ash says crying. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it! I swear! I slipped! Are you okay???" I ask. "Yeah baby, accidents happen," ash says rubbing her head. I kiss her forehead and watch as she slips into a deep sleep.
The next morning
Ashlyn's pov
"I feel like crap Ali," I say not realizing she was still sleeping. I notice she starts squirming. I tap her head, then I shake her shoulder trying to wake her up. "Ali, you're ok. Wake up!" She then wakes up and starts crying. "What happened babe?" "I had a terrible nightmare! I saw you and you got killed by some person and he shot me and and," Ali stops there because I just shhhh her. "You're ok! I'm ok, everyone is ok," I say soothing a worried Ali.
