It's been weeks since I talked to Zoe. Or anyone really. I missed Ashton to much to think about anything.
I got a text from Zoe asking if I wanted to go to target with her. I was very hesitant but agreed if we could watch a movie after.
While we walk down one of the aisles, I hear Zoe gasp and she tapped me on the shoulder. I saw Ashton standing there looking way worse. He was thin, frail and had many more bruises. I instantly start sobbing. Right before he gets pulled away be his dad again he hands Zoe a note. It said 'Help me. But beware my dad might beat you to' underneath that was his address.
We immediately went to Zoe's house to show her mom then she called the police. An ambulance went to his house and took him to the hospital. His mom met us at the hospital in tears but was to upset to see him. I hope he's okay. I can't have him out of my life. Zoe and I went to his recovery room after he came out of surgery. When I saw him lying there I felt my heart shatter for him. Luckily he doesn't have to deal with his dad since his mom regained custody. I sat down in a chair next to his bed and grab his hand. Just after I start to cry, his eyes flutter open and he looks at me then Zoe. "Could you give us some privacy?" He asks Zoe. She nods and is on her way out.
