I think I saw you in my sleep,darling. (Ashton Irwin Fanfic)

Chapter 17

I remember now. Big swell. 20 foot wave. I charged and fell. And I hit the reefs. And here I am,lying on the hospital bed,unconscious. Well at least my body.

"you remember huh?"

"i do. but thats so stupid like i charge big waves but I fell and hit the reef so hard I got into a coma?" Ash just chuckled. "no I mean seriously. im a fucking professional surfer and I fall after charging and 20 something feet wave and hit the reefs and now im like half dead apparently."

"thats probably your clumsy side showing."

"no I mean like,seriously."

"thats the third time you're saying the phrase." he said folding his arms. 

"but think about,i mean you think about it. im so dumb." i put my head in my hand and shook my hand. 

"accidents happen sometimes and its not exactly like we can control what happens to us or not." he shrugged.

"unfortunately thats true." I sighed. "but imagine how dumb that sounds to other people? it sounds really dumb to me. god damn it lyla." 

"by the way,mum,dad and sarah say hi. they cant fly here right now apparently but yeah they say hi." sean said again. "keep fighting. and wake up soon." he sighed. "we all miss you. well your stupid sarcastic side remarks only actually." he chuckled. "just kidding." he nudged me a litle. "we do miss you."

"can you tell sean to shut the fuck up or something because honestly im gonna end up a hot mess. well my soul is gonna end up as a hot mess." i sighed. "you know what,can i hit him because i fucking will." so i walked up to him and hit him. except that i completely missed. "COME ON!" 

"you're not a ghost babe." Ash laughed. 

"ugh shut up." i said walking back to him. I sat on the floor and he joined me. "why are you here though and how?" 

"well maybe somehow i am a part of you?" 

"no you aren't... of course you aren't... you're real i know." he just smiled at me. "b-but are you dead like me?" 

"you're not dead lyla. you're still alive. just unconcious for a few days." 

"which practically means im dead?" 

"well,yes." 

"how about you? are you even real? or just my imaginary friend to keep me company while i'm dying?" i said looking at myself on the hospital bed. He just shrugged. "ugh why can't you just tell me if you're real or not!" 

"spoilers." i mocked him. 

"fuck you ashton irwin fuck you." 

"gladly." he chuckled. So then it was quiet and i watched myself on the bed. 

"can we go somewhere else? i dont want to see myself anymore." i sighed getting up. 

"hey ashton just texted me. he told me to tell you to say hi and he misses you alot. and hopes you wake up soon. like the rest of us."

"You're real." i said grabbing his hand so he wont leave. He smiled at me. 

"of course i am. i always have been darling." he kissed the top of my head. 

"so h-how are you here if you're still alive? i-i dont get it..." 

"its all in your mind remember so if im here all these while with you then,i'm the one who you want to see. i keep you strong." i looked up at him teary eyed. 

"as if sean wasn't enough! you guys need to stop fucking with my feelings man. you know deep inside how sensitive i am!" i punched his arm lightly. He just chuckled and side hugged me. 

"i love you too,lyla." he then leaned his head against mine and then he said, "now listen to me okay,you're not going to die i know. you're going to make it. So right now,i need you to open your eyes for me okay? Take all the effort. I need you to wake up now. I'll see you soon." he kissed my lips and he was gone. I didnt know what i needed to do so i just walked to myself.
