~Chapter Nineteen~
The silence isn't weird.
I don't know why.
Clay sits on the end of the bed, and just looks at me.
"What?" I say.
"No nothing."
"It's gotta be something."
He doesn't respond for a second. Then he talks. "How are you feeling?"
I mentally sigh. "I'm okay."
"You sure? I can go get the doc-"
"I'm fine, Clay, really."
"Okay." He smiles and takes my hand. "Look uh Ash-"
Dr. Paton walks in. I'm kind of relieved because from how he sounded he was gonna like speak his heart or something. Not a speech I would wanna be there for.
"Okay, how are we doin?"
"Maybe I should go.." Clay stands up.
"No no you should stay," She says, "This could effect your future together."
"Wait are you saying-" He starts.
"N-we, we aren't dating " I say.
"Ah I see. Alright." She says. I look at Clay. But he's already looking at me so I quickly abort. "Now. Can you tell me anything about what happened to your leg?" Dr. Paton asks.
"Yeah..." I take a deep breath. "Yes, uh.." I drift off. Anything including the plane crash makes me feel..feel....
"A medal compartment." Starts Clay.
Clay. He's explaining for me.
He continues.
"We recently survived a, a plane crash going to Hawaii. While we were crashing.." He loses concentration. "While we were crashing a medal bag compartment sitting above her seat fell on her."
"Thank you," Clays phone goes off. He checks it.
"Sorry, I have to go." He says.
Dr. Paton nods her head and continues writing her notes.
He comes and kisses me on the forehead. "I'll come see you later." I smile.
"Okay." I say. And he leaves.
Once he's gone, Dr. Paton comes and takes my blood pressure.
"Dr. Paton?" I ask before she leaves too.
"Yes?"
"Why did you, think that..."
"The way you look at each other." She smiles and walks out.

"Hey heeeeeey" I turn my focus away from the window, to see Rachel and Liam charge into my hospital room.
"How's sicky doing?" Liam teases.
"I'm not sick." I say. "I'm..uh...."
"Exactly! Your brain can't function to give me an answer."
I moan.
"Anyways," Rachel steps between us, "how ya feelin?"
"Oh, I'm better. Thanks."
"Has there been any visitors?"
I think for a second. Maybe I shouldn't tell them Clay has already been here... But then again..
