Friends With Crazy Benefits

Chapter 16

Ashley's POV

I'm lying in bed waiting. Waiting for a phone call, a text or something. I just want to know if Drake is okay. I haven't seen him in a while, and it's not like I can take off after him either. All I can do is sit here, and hope my, I guess I can call him my boyfriend now, is okay.
A part of me kind of hopes he doesn't find them tonight, that he lets me get better first and the both of us can. I sure do have some things to say to the assholes who did this to me.

Drakes parents have been in and out checking on me, worrying way too much over me. My own parents have been calling to check in on me, and I wish everyone would just calm down.

I don't feel right, so I decide to take a nap until Drake comes back. Within a few minutes into my nap, Drake comes bursting through the door, gets down on the bed and kisses me passionately. I kiss him back, no doubt about it. But a part of me wonders what this is for. I smile into the kiss and he gets up and just watches me.

"Wha.. What's that for Drake?"

"Ashley I love you. I love you more than anything in the world, and I truly mean it."

Oh my god. I can't believe he just said he loves me. I never thought he would say this. I mean, I know he cares, but loves? Oh my gosh.

"I.. I love you" I barely make out.

He kisses me again and smiles bigger than I've ever seen before. His smile is so beautiful, I'd do anything to make him smile.

"So I never got to go find who drugged you Ashley, but I'm going to do something about it. I promise you I will baby."

"Who?"

"Sarah Hedrick and Austin"

My world comes crashing down hearing that. I know Sarah is heartless, but Austin..

The guy I spent so long with, so many memories and firsts, I can't believe he did this to me. They could of paralyzed me for the rest of my life or even killed me.

Tears fell from my face and Drake just hugged me. I couldn't help it. This hurts me so bad, I thought maybe some stupid guy did it trying to be mean or funny or something and it just turned out wrong.

I didn't even see them here at the party. We probably didn't notice with all the people that were here.

"baby I'm so sorry. I promise you everything's gonna be okay. you're okay, you made it through all this shit that's been going on. and we're going to do something about them."

"But I have to tell you something, Austin cheating on you is my fault. I regret it so much, I really do. I don't want you to hate me. I was drinking and smoking and just being dumb."

"You.. you what?"

"Baby I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. If I actually knew you, like I do now. I wouldn't of done it. You mean everything to me. I love you and I mean it. I'm SO sorry baby"

I don't want anything to do with Drake. I hate him, hate how much pain he caused me. I fell for him

With tears falling down my face, harder than before, I do my best to push him away from me. My head is pounding again and my heart is racing. Something's not right with me, with my body. Something is happening. And right now I don't even care.

"Ash, baby talk to me"

Drake rolled me over and noticed something was wrong. I looked into his eyes, I'm able to talk but I don't. I don't have anything to say. I watch him. Listen to him panic.

The feeling is back, and it's even worse. I can't move my arms. My legs. My heart is pounding and it hurts. My head feels like it's about to explode.

And right then is when I decide to tell him, even though he just told me what he did.

"Drake, I love you too"

Drake is crying. Crying so much, his tears are falling on me. But I can't feel it. I can talk and hear this time and he talks to me telling me everything will be okay as his parents call the cops and for an ambulance.

I don't want to die. Whatever is going on with me, I will fight it.
